Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of computers, and more specifically, to a server structural component processing apparatus and a server processing center. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there is an increasing demand for servers of different specifications such as 1U, 2U, and 4U. The quality requirements for the chassis are becoming more and more stringent, and the internal structural components of the chassis are also becoming more and more complex. Some structural components require machining in the early prototyping and later mass production and shipment. With the continuous increase in product shipments, higher requirements are placed on production efficiency. Therefore, some parts are manufactured using machining center processes, and the requirements for auxiliary tooling will be higher during mass production.
[0003] For the fabrication of the aforementioned server structural components, the following two solutions are commonly used: Option 1: Directly clamp individual structural components onto the machine for processing. After processing one, reposition it and put the next one down. This wastes time, affects production efficiency, and increases the operator's workload.
[0004] Option 2: Multiple structural components are mounted on a fixture for batch processing. Typically, three cylinders are used for lateral positioning, and screws are tightened to restrict longitudinal movement. This method allows for batch processing of structural components but cannot achieve rapid positioning and is cumbersome to disassemble and assemble. For structural components with high precision requirements, changing the fixture each time cannot effectively guarantee accuracy.
[0005] It is evident that existing server structural component machining tooling has the following problems: 1. Cylinders occupy a lot of space, reducing the number of workpieces that can be processed simultaneously within a limited processing area.
[0006] 2. Positioning based on the shape of the tooling is susceptible to inaccurate positioning due to dust and metal filings.
[0007] 3. The tooling is surrounded by blocks and cylinders on all four sides. The heavier tooling needs to be moved frequently, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the operator's work.
[0008] 4. The use of three cylinders increased costs and made control more difficult.
[0009] 5. Switching between tooling is cumbersome and cannot provide quick, effective, and accurate positioning. Summary of the Invention
[0010] This application provides a server structural component processing apparatus and a server processing center to at least solve the problem of poor positioning accuracy of server structural component processing fixtures in related technologies.
[0011] According to one aspect of this application, a server structural component processing apparatus is provided, comprising: a base platform having a positioning hole; a drive mechanism connected to the base platform and having a movable drive end; a tooling fixture connected to the structural component to be processed and capable of being supported and placed on the base platform; a locking and positioning mechanism movably disposed on the tooling fixture, and when the tooling fixture is placed on the processing area of the base platform, the locking and positioning mechanism engages with the drive end, and the drive end drives the locking and positioning mechanism to move relative to the tooling fixture and extend into the positioning hole; and an auxiliary positioning mechanism disposed on the base platform, which abuts against the tooling fixture when the tooling fixture is placed on the base platform and restricts the position of the tooling fixture, wherein at least one positioning direction of the auxiliary positioning mechanism on the tooling fixture forms an angle with the positioning direction of the locking and positioning mechanism on the tooling fixture.
[0012] Furthermore, the positioning hole is opened longitudinally, and the locking and positioning mechanism is longitudinally movable through the base platform and extends through the upper and lower sides of the base platform.
[0013] Furthermore, the locking and positioning mechanism includes: a positioning pin, which is movably mounted on the tooling fixture; and an elastic element, which is sleeved on the positioning pin, with both ends of the elastic element abutting against the positioning pin and the tooling fixture respectively, and providing elastic force for the positioning pin to move in the direction of exiting the positioning hole.
[0014] Furthermore, the positioning pin includes a first segment and a second segment connected in sequence. The first segment passes through the tooling fixture, and when the tooling fixture is not placed on the base platform, the first segment does not protrude from the lower surface of the tooling fixture. The second segment is connected to the top of the first segment, and the second segment protrudes from the upper surface of the tooling fixture. The driving end is driven to cooperate with the second segment.
[0015] Furthermore, the first segment and the second segment are threaded together. The second segment is bolt-shaped and includes a rod and a head. The elastic element is sleeved on the rod and abuts against the head. The locking and positioning mechanism also includes a washer, which is disposed between the elastic element and the tooling fixture.
[0016] Furthermore, the server structural component processing device also includes a release component, which is movably set and driven to be connected to the drive mechanism. The locking and positioning mechanism and the release component are located on opposite sides of the base platform. When the drive mechanism drives the drive end to reset, the drive mechanism drives the release component to extend into the positioning hole and pushes the locking and positioning mechanism out of the positioning hole.
[0017] Furthermore, the release component includes a first section and a second section. The first section passes through the base platform and is located below the positioning hole. The second section is connected to the drive mechanism and is located below the first section. The first section and the second section are connected or separated. The transverse cross-section of the second section is larger than that of the first section.
[0018] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes: a driving member connected to the base platform and located below the base platform; a first transmission member drivenly connected to the driving member and moving up and down under the drive of the driving member; a second transmission member longitudinally extending through the base platform, with its bottom end connected to the first transmission member and its top end extending above the base platform; and a pressure block connected to the top end of the second transmission member, the bottom surface of the pressure block having a driving end, the pressure block being located above the upper surface of the base platform, and a processing area for placing tooling fixtures being formed between the pressure block and the upper surface of the base platform, wherein when the tooling fixtures are placed in the processing area, the locking and positioning mechanism is located directly below the pressure block.
[0019] Furthermore, the auxiliary positioning mechanism includes: multiple rollers, which are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base platform, with rollers on opposite sides of the upper surface of the base platform, forming a processing area between the rollers on both sides. When the tooling fixture is placed into the processing area, it contacts the rollers and drives them to rotate; a limiting member, which is located at the end of the processing area along the direction in which the tooling fixture extends into the processing area, and abuts against the limiting member when the tooling fixture is in place; and multiple guide members, which are located on the side where the rollers are located, at the end of the rollers away from the limiting member, and the distance between the guide members on both sides gradually decreases along the direction in which the tooling fixture extends into the processing area.
[0020] Furthermore, the locking and positioning mechanism includes a positioning pin and an elastic element. The positioning pin is longitudinally movably mounted on the tooling fixture. The positioning pin includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment passes through the tooling fixture, and the second segment is located above the first segment. The second segment is bolt-shaped. The elastic element is sleeved on the second segment, and its two ends abut against the second segment and the tooling fixture, respectively, providing elastic force for the positioning pin to move in the direction of exiting the positioning hole. The driving mechanism includes a driving element, a first transmission element, a second transmission element, and a pressure block. The driving element is connected to the base platform and located below the base platform. The transmission component is driven by the drive component and moves up and down under the drive component; the second transmission component is longitudinally inserted through the base platform, the bottom end of the second transmission component is connected to the first transmission component, and the top end of the second transmission component extends above the base platform; the pressure block is connected to the top end of the second transmission component, the bottom surface of the pressure block has a drive end, the pressure block is located above the upper surface of the base platform, and a processing area for placing tooling fixtures is formed between the pressure block and the upper surface of the base platform. When the tooling fixture is placed in the processing area, the locking and positioning mechanism is located directly below the pressure block; the server structural component processing device also includes a release component, which releases... The release component is connected to the first transmission component and the two move synchronously. The locking and positioning mechanism and the release component are located on the upper and lower sides of the base platform, respectively. When the drive mechanism drives the pressure block to move upward, the first transmission component drives the release component to move upward and extend into the positioning hole, pushing the locking and positioning mechanism out of the positioning hole. The auxiliary positioning mechanism includes multiple rollers, limiting components, and multiple guide components. The upper surface of the base platform includes a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side arranged horizontally in sequence. The rollers are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base platform. Rollers are provided on both the first and third sides, and a gap is formed between the rollers on both sides. In the processing area, when the tooling fixture is placed in the processing area, it contacts the roller and drives the roller to rotate; the second side is the entrance side for the tooling fixture to enter the processing area, and the limiting member is located on the fourth side, which abuts against the limiting member when the tooling fixture is placed in place; the guide member is set on the first and third sides, and is located at the end closer to the second side, and the distance between the guide members on both sides gradually decreases along the direction in which the tooling fixture enters the processing area; the base platform has one or more processing areas, and when there are multiple processing areas, each processing area is respectively equipped with a drive mechanism, tooling fixture, locking and positioning mechanism and auxiliary positioning mechanism.
[0021] According to another aspect of this application, a server processing center is provided, including a server structural component and the aforementioned server structural component processing apparatus. The server structural component is mounted on a tooling fixture of the server structural component processing apparatus and is placed on the base platform of the server structural component processing apparatus along with the tooling fixture.
[0022] The technical solution of this application integrates a locking and positioning mechanism on the tooling fixture, allowing the locking and positioning mechanism to move together with the tooling fixture. A positioning hole is provided on the base platform, so that when the tooling fixture is placed in position on the base platform, the drive mechanism can drive the drive end to move. The movement of the drive end causes the locking and positioning mechanism to extend into the positioning hole, so that part of the locking and positioning mechanism is located in the base platform and the other part is located in the tooling fixture, thereby locking and positioning the base platform and the tooling fixture together. This achieves precise placement of the tooling fixture and the structural parts to be processed on the base platform, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of positioning. Meanwhile, considering the potential difficulty in aligning the positioning hole with the locking positioning mechanism, this embodiment also includes an auxiliary positioning mechanism. This auxiliary positioning mechanism assists in positioning; it defines the processing area on the base platform. When the tooling fixture is placed on the base platform, it is aligned with the processing area and then pushed laterally into the processing area. Since the auxiliary positioning mechanism acts as the edge of the processing area, the tooling fixture will contact it. Under the constraint of the auxiliary positioning mechanism, the tooling fixture moves to a predetermined position within the processing area. Because the positioning direction of the auxiliary positioning mechanism is not completely parallel to the positioning direction of the locking positioning mechanism, the positioning hole aligns with the locking positioning mechanism when the tooling fixture moves to the predetermined position under the constraint of the auxiliary positioning mechanism. This allows the drive mechanism to accurately position and lock the tooling fixture. This configuration achieves accurate positioning of the tooling fixture on the base platform, improving processing efficiency and ensuring the accuracy and quality of subsequent structural component processing. It guarantees the processing precision and tolerances of the structural components, meets the assembly requirements of the chassis structural components, and satisfies customer quality requirements. On the other hand, the entire process only requires personnel to pull the tooling fixture horizontally, eliminating the need for tedious operations such as tightening screws, thereby reducing the labor intensity of manual labor, achieving the effect of quick tooling switching, reducing the use of cylinders, thus reducing costs, and increasing the number of structural parts that can be processed as needed.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0027] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.
[0028] To address the issue of poor positioning accuracy in server structural component processing fixtures in related technologies, embodiments of this application provide a server structural component processing apparatus and a server processing center.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 The server structural component processing apparatus shown includes a base platform 10, a drive mechanism 20, a tooling fixture 30, a locking and positioning mechanism 40, and an auxiliary positioning mechanism 50. The base platform 10 has positioning holes; the drive mechanism 20 is connected to the base platform 10 and has a movable drive end; the tooling fixture 30 is connected to the structural component to be processed and can be supported and placed on the base platform 10; the locking and positioning mechanism 40 is movably mounted on the tooling fixture 30, and the tooling fixture 30 is placed on the base platform 10 for processing. When the work area is in use, the locking and positioning mechanism 40 is engaged with the drive end, and the drive end drives the locking and positioning mechanism 40 to move relative to the tooling fixture 30 and extend into the positioning hole; the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 is set on the base platform 10. When the tooling fixture 30 is placed on the base platform 10, the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 abuts against the tooling fixture 30 and restricts the position of the tooling fixture 30. At least one positioning direction of the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 on the tooling fixture 30 forms an angle with the positioning direction of the locking and positioning mechanism 40 on the tooling fixture 30.
[0030] In this embodiment, a locking and positioning mechanism 40 is integrated on the tooling fixture 30, so that the locking and positioning mechanism 40 moves together with the tooling fixture 30. A positioning hole is provided on the base platform 10, so that when the tooling fixture 30 is placed on the base platform 10, the drive mechanism 20 can drive the drive end to move. The movement of the drive end causes the locking and positioning mechanism 40 to extend into the positioning hole, so that a part of the locking and positioning mechanism 40 is located in the base platform 10 and the other part is located in the tooling fixture 30, thereby locking and positioning the base platform 10 and the tooling fixture 30 together, realizing the precise placement of the tooling fixture 30 and the structural parts to be processed on the base platform 10, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of positioning. Meanwhile, considering that the alignment between the positioning hole and the locking positioning mechanism 40 may be difficult, this embodiment also provides an auxiliary positioning mechanism 50. The auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 can play an auxiliary positioning role. That is, the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 defines the processing area on the base platform 10. When the tooling fixture 30 is placed on the base platform 10, the tooling fixture 30 is aligned with the processing area and then pushed laterally into the processing area. Since the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 is the edge of the processing area, the tooling fixture 30 will contact the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50. The tooling fixture 30 moves to a predetermined position in the processing area under the limitation of the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50. Since the positioning direction of the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 is not completely parallel to the positioning direction of the locking positioning mechanism 40, when the tooling fixture 30 moves to the predetermined position under the limitation of the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50, the positioning hole can be aligned with the locking positioning mechanism 40, so that the drive mechanism 20 can be activated to achieve accurate positioning and locking of the tooling fixture 30. The above-mentioned setup enables accurate positioning of the tooling fixture 30 on the base platform 10, improving processing efficiency and ensuring the accuracy and quality of subsequent structural component processing. It guarantees the machining precision and tolerances of the structural components, meets the assembly requirements of the chassis structural components, and satisfies customer quality requirements. Furthermore, the entire process only requires personnel to pull the tooling fixture 30 laterally, eliminating the need for tedious screw-tightening operations, thus reducing labor intensity and enabling rapid tooling switching. It also reduces the use of cylinders, thereby lowering costs, and allows for an increase in the number of structural components that can be processed as needed.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the locking and positioning mechanism 40 mainly functions as longitudinal positioning and locking, while the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 mainly functions as lateral positioning. Specifically, the positioning hole is longitudinally opened, and the locking and positioning mechanism 40 is longitudinally movably installed on the base platform 10, passing through both the upper and lower sides of the base platform 10. When the tooling fixture 30 is placed in the processing area, the driving end is located above the locking and positioning mechanism 40, so that when the driving mechanism 20 moves the driving end downward, it can push the locking and positioning mechanism 40 downward, realizing that the locking and positioning mechanism 40 extends into the positioning hole to achieve longitudinal locking and positioning. The auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 is set on the lateral side of the processing area, that is, on the left and right sides of the tooling fixture 30, so that the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 can position and guide the tooling fixture 30 during the placement of the tooling fixture 30 on the base platform 10, thereby achieving a coarse positioning effect, and then working with the locking and positioning mechanism 40 to achieve precise positioning.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking and positioning mechanism 40 includes a positioning pin 41 and an elastic element 42. The positioning pin 41 is movably mounted on the tooling fixture 30. The positioning pin 41 is the main component for locking and positioning. The positioning pin 41 is also a component that cooperates with the driving end and the positioning hole, that is, the positioning pin 41 is below the driving end. The driving end can push the positioning pin 41 downward, so that the positioning pin 41 extends into the positioning hole to achieve positioning and locking. The elastic element 42 is sleeved on the positioning pin 41. The two ends of the elastic element 42 abut against the positioning pin 41 and the tooling fixture 30, respectively. In this embodiment, the elastic element 42 is a spring. The spring can provide the positioning pin 41 with a spring force to move in the direction of exiting the positioning hole, so that the positioning pin 41 can be kept in the upward position when it is not pushed downward by the driving end, so that the bottom end of the positioning pin 41 will not automatically protrude from the bottom end of the tooling fixture 30, thereby ensuring the smooth placement of the tooling fixture 30 into the processing area. In other words, before the drive mechanism 20 is activated, the bottom end of the positioning pin 41 will not protrude from the bottom surface of the tooling fixture 30, but will be completely inside the tooling fixture 30, so as not to affect the placement of the tooling fixture 30.
[0033] In this embodiment, the positioning pin 41 includes a first segment 411 and a second segment 412 connected in sequence. The first segment 411 passes through the tooling fixture 30 and serves as a component that mates with the positioning hole. When the tooling fixture 30 is not placed on the base platform 10, the first segment 411 does not protrude from the lower surface of the tooling fixture 30. The second segment 412 is connected to the top end of the first segment 411 and protrudes from the upper surface of the tooling fixture 30. Thus, the overall longitudinal length of the positioning pin 41 is greater than the longitudinal thickness of the tooling fixture 30, thereby enabling the driving end to engage with the top end of the second segment 412, thereby driving the positioning pin 41 to move downward so that the first segment 411 extends into the positioning hole.
[0034] This embodiment adopts a separate arrangement between the first segment 411 and the second segment 412, that is, the two are two components connected together by a threaded connection. The first segment 411 only needs to cooperate with the positioning hole, so the first segment 411 can be directly set as a pin. The second segment 412 needs to cooperate with the elastic element 42, so in this embodiment the second segment 412 is set as a bolt, which specifically includes a rod and a head. The rod has external threads, and the top of the first segment 411 has a threaded hole to cooperate with the rod. The size of the head is larger than the size of the rod. The elastic element 42 is sleeved on the outside of the rod, and its top abuts against the larger head, so that the elastic element 42 generates an upward elastic force on the positioning pin 41, realizing a reliable cooperation between the elastic element 42 and the positioning pin 41. Meanwhile, the locking and positioning mechanism 40 in this embodiment also includes a washer 43, which is disposed between the elastic member 42 and the tooling fixture 30, that is, the washer 43 is disposed at the bottom end of the elastic member 42, thereby avoiding the elastic member 42 directly contacting the tooling fixture 30 and causing wear and other problems to the tooling fixture 30, thus extending its service life. Of course, the first segment 411 and the second segment 412 can also adopt an integral structure, and the positioning pin 41 can also be divided into more segments as needed.
[0035] Of course, the locking and positioning mechanism 40 may not adopt the above-described setting method in this embodiment. It can directly adopt the positioning column method. The positioning column can be directly connected to the driving end, so that it can move up and down directly under the drive end to realize the positioning and locking of the tooling fixture 30.
[0036] In this embodiment, due to the elastic element 42, when the drive end rises, the elastic element 42 can exert an upward force on the positioning pin 41, causing the positioning pin 41 to move upward. However, considering that the effect of the elastic element 42 may be small, and there may be a situation where it is insufficient to completely disengage the positioning pin 41 from the positioning hole, the server structural component processing device in this embodiment is also provided with a release element 60. Figure 2As shown, the release element 60 is movably configured and driven by the drive mechanism 20. The locking and positioning mechanism 40 and the release element 60 are located on opposite sides of the base platform 10, that is, the positioning pin 41 is located above the base platform 10, and the release element 60 is located below the base platform 10 and directly below the positioning hole. Thus, when the drive mechanism 20 drives the drive end to move downward, the drive end pushes the positioning pin 41 downward and simultaneously drives the release element 60 downward. Since the release element 60 is located below the base platform 10, it does not affect the movement of the positioning pin 41. When the drive mechanism 20 drives the drive end to move upward to reset, the drive mechanism 20 drives the drive end to no longer apply downward force to the positioning pin 41, and simultaneously drives the release element 60 upward, so that the release element 60 extends into the positioning hole and pushes the locking and positioning mechanism 40 out of the positioning hole, thereby ensuring that the positioning pin 41 can be stably and reliably removed from the positioning hole, ensuring the disassembly of the tooling fixture 30.
[0037] Of course, since the elastic element 42 is provided, if the elastic force of the elastic element 42 is sufficient to make the positioning pin 41 exit the positioning hole, the release element 60 can be omitted, and the positioning pin 41 can be reset by relying solely on the upward elastic force of the elastic element 42.
[0038] In this embodiment, the release component 60 includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment passes through the base platform 10 and is located below the positioning hole. The first segment can abut against the bottom end of the positioning pin 41 to push the positioning pin 41 out of the positioning hole. The second segment is connected to the drive mechanism 20 and is located below the first segment. The first segment and the second segment can be connected as an integral structure or separated into a split structure. Thus, when the drive mechanism 20 drives the drive end to rise, the second segment rises. The second segment directly drives the first segment to rise, or the second segment moves a certain distance and then abuts against the first segment before driving the first segment to rise. The first segment rises and abuts against the bottom end of the positioning pin 41, thereby driving the positioning pin 41 to rise, achieving the effect of the positioning pin 41 disengaging from the positioning hole.
[0039] Preferably, the transverse cross-section of the second segment is larger than that of the first segment. In this embodiment, both the first and second segments are cylindrical, so their cross-sections are circular. The size of the circular cross-section of the second segment is larger than that of the first segment. This allows the length of the first segment to be equal to the length of the positioning hole, so that when the second segment moves upward to abut against the bottom surface of the base platform 10, the first segment exactly covers the entire length of the positioning hole, allowing the positioning pin 41 to just exit the positioning hole. In this way, neither the positioning pin 41 nor the first segment affects the disassembly of the tooling fixture 30, achieving smooth disassembly of the tooling fixture 30.
[0040] Of course, the first and second segments can also be set as equal-diameter cylinders, or the first and second segments can adopt other shapes. In this case, the transverse cross-section of the two segments is the cross-section perpendicular to the direction of movement.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 20 includes a drive component 21, a first transmission component 22, a second transmission component 23, and a pressure block 24. The drive component 21 can be a motor, an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or other components. In this embodiment, a pneumatic cylinder is used as the drive component 21. The movement direction of the output end of the pneumatic cylinder is up and down. The cylinder body is connected to the base platform 10 and located below the base platform 10, so as not to affect the installation of the tooling fixture 30 above the base platform 10. The first transmission component 22 is driven by the driving component 21 and moves up and down under the drive of the driving component 21. The second transmission component 23 is longitudinally mounted on the base platform 10. The bottom end of the second transmission component 23 is connected to the first transmission component 22, and the top end of the second transmission component 23 extends above the base platform 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first transmission component 22 is a connecting plate, which is arranged horizontally. The cylinder rod of the cylinder is connected to the upper center surface of the connecting plate. The second transmission component 23 is a connecting column, which is arranged longitudinally. The bottom end of the connecting column is connected to the connecting plate, and the top end of the connecting column extends through the base platform 10 and above the upper surface of the base platform 10. The pressure block 24 is connected to the top end of the second transmission component 23, i.e., the connecting column. The bottom surface of the pressure block 24 has... On the driving end, the pressure block 24 is positioned above the upper surface of the base platform 10, and the pressure block 24 and the upper surface of the base platform 10 are spaced apart, thereby forming a processing area for placing the tooling fixture 30 between the pressure block 24 and the upper surface of the base platform 10. When the tooling fixture 30 is placed in the processing area, the tooling fixture 30 is laterally aligned with the processing area, and then the tooling fixture 30 is laterally pushed into the processing area. In the vertical direction, the tooling fixture 30 is located between the pressure block 24 and the upper surface of the base platform 10. Thus, when the tooling fixture 30 is placed in the processing area, the locking and positioning mechanism 40 is located directly below the pressure block 24, so that when the pressure block 24 moves downward, the driving end can push the positioning pin 41 downward.
[0042] The drive mechanism 20 in this embodiment also includes a guide shaft and a linear bearing. The guide shaft is arranged longitudinally and passes through the first transmission member 22, so that the first transmission member 22 can only move up and down under the guidance of the guide shaft, ensuring the movement effect. The linear bearing is arranged between the guide shaft and the first transmission member 22, so that the up and down movement of the first transmission member 22 is smoother.
[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 in this embodiment includes multiple rollers 51, limiting members 52, and multiple guide members 53. The rollers 51 are rotatably disposed on the upper surface of the base platform 10, with their axes arranged longitudinally. This allows the rollers 51 to rotate laterally. Rollers 51 are disposed on opposite sides of the upper surface of the base platform 10, forming a processing area between the two rollers 51. Simultaneously, along the direction in which the tooling fixture 30 extends into the processing area, the limiting members 52 are disposed at the end of the processing area, and the guide members 53 are disposed on the side where the rollers 51 are located, at the end of the rollers 51 furthest from the limiting members 52. Along the direction in which the tooling fixture 30 extends into the processing area, the distance between the two guide members 53 gradually decreases. Thus, the processing area is formed below by the base platform 10, with rollers 51, limiting members 52, and guide members 53 disposed on the sides, and a pressure block 24 disposed above, thereby forming a processing area that is substantially the same size as the tooling fixture 30. In this embodiment, the limiting member 52 is a limiting block, and the guide member 53 is in the form of multiple guide posts. The guide posts are respectively set on both sides of the processing area, and the number is set accordingly. The distance between two opposite guide posts is such that the distance between the two guide posts gradually decreases along the direction in which the tooling fixture 30 extends into the processing area.
[0044] For ease of explanation, the upper surface of the base platform 10 is divided into four sides arranged horizontally: a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side. Rollers 51 are provided on the first and third sides. The second side is the entrance side where the tooling fixture 30 extends into the processing area. The limiting member 52 is located on the fourth side. The guide member 53 is provided on the first and third sides and is located at the end closer to the second side. Thus, when the fixture 30 is placed in the processing area, its position is first adjusted so that it is roughly aligned with the entrance side of the processing area. Then, the fixture 30 is moved laterally so that the fixture area enters the processing area from the entrance side. At this time, due to the setting of the guide 53, the fixture area only needs to be roughly aligned with the entrance side. If the fixture 30 deviates during its entry, it will abut against the guide 53 and automatically align with the entrance side under the tilting guidance of the guide 53. After the fixture 30 enters the processing area, its left and right positions are restricted by the rollers 51, so that the fixture 30 can only extend further and cannot deviate. At the same time, the movement of the fixture 30 will contact and drive the rollers 51 to rotate, realizing the smooth movement of the fixture 30. When the fixture 30 reaches its designated position, it will abut against the limiting member 52 on the fourth side, preventing further movement. This indicates that the fixture 30 has reached its position, with the positioning hole and positioning pin 41 aligned vertically. At this point, the drive mechanism 20 can be controlled to further lock the fixture 30. Through the cooperation between the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 and the locking positioning mechanism 40, the fixture 30 can move and be positioned accurately and stably on the base platform 10, ensuring accurate and reliable positioning. Furthermore, manual operation only requires pushing the fixture 30 into the processing area, eliminating the need for tedious bolt tightening and reducing labor intensity. The auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 also eliminates the need for cylinders and other components, reducing costs and control complexity.
[0045] The tooling fixture 30 in this embodiment has a stepped structure at its peripheral edge, forming two stepped surfaces. A positioning pin 41 is inserted into the lower stepped surface, and the upper stepped surface is the upper surface of the tooling fixture 30. The height difference between the two stepped surfaces is equal to the downward movement distance of the pressure block 24, so that when the pressure block 24 pushes the positioning pin 41 into the positioning position, the pressure block 24 can simultaneously abut against the upper stepped surface, thereby further locking the tooling fixture 30.
[0046] Optionally, a positioning sensor can be installed on the limiting member 52. The positioning sensor is electrically connected to the cylinder of the drive mechanism 20. When the tooling fixture 30 is placed in position, the positioning sensor is triggered, and the positioning sensor can automatically realize the driving action, thereby realizing the positioning pin 41 automatically extending into the positioning hole, realizing automated operation, and further reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0047] Of course, the auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 can also adopt other forms of positioning mechanism, such as replacing the roller 51 with a guide plate or other structural forms, as long as it can limit the movement of the tooling fixture 30 into the processing area and achieve coarse positioning.
[0048] Optionally, an operating handle can be provided on the tooling fixture 30 to facilitate pushing, pulling, and handling operations by personnel.
[0049] It should be noted that in actual use, a base platform 10 can have one or more processing areas. The above explanation uses one processing area as an example. When there are multiple processing areas, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the number of drive mechanism 20, tooling fixture 30, locking and positioning mechanism 40 and auxiliary positioning mechanism 50 can be increased as needed, so that each processing area is respectively equipped with drive mechanism 20, tooling fixture 30, locking and positioning mechanism 40 and auxiliary positioning mechanism 50, thereby achieving the effect that each processing area can perform positioning processing independently, thus greatly improving processing efficiency.
[0050] This embodiment also provides a server processing center, including server structural components and the aforementioned server structural component processing device. The server structural components are mounted on the tooling fixture 30 of the server structural component processing device and are placed on the base platform 10 of the server structural component processing device along with the tooling fixture 30.
[0051] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.
