DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , a detachable tooling tray provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tray may include:

[0041] A lifting base 1, the upper part of which is connected to a support plate 2;

[0042] A supporting plate 3, wherein the supporting plate 3 is detachably connected to the supporting plate 2;

[0043] The method for using the tooling pallet includes:

[0044] Separate the support plate 3 from the support plate 2, and place the lifting base 1 on the production line 6;

[0045] When the product structure 51 is received, the product structure 51 is placed on the support plate 3, so that when the product structure 51 is shipped out of the warehouse, the product structure 51 and the support plate 3 are transported to the material handling vehicle 8 together;

[0046] The product structure 51 and the support plate 3 are transported to the side of the lifting platform 9 by the material handling vehicle 8, and the product structure 51 and the support plate 3 are pushed onto the lifting platform 9 by the material handling vehicle 8;

[0047] Lift the support plate 3 upwards by the lifting platform 9 until the lower surface of the support plate 3 is at the same height as the upper surface of the support plate 2, push the support plate 3 together with the product structure 51 onto the support plate 2, and lock the support plate 3 with the support plate 2;

[0048] The product structure 51 is assembled on the production line 6 to form a finished product 52. When the finished product 52 is off the production line, the support plate 3 and the finished product 52 are not separated, and the locking of the support plate 3 and the support plate 2 is released;

[0049] Push the support plate 3 and the finished product 52 onto the lifting platform 9;

[0050] Transferring the support plate 3 and the finished product 52 from the lifting platform 9 to the material handling vehicle 8;

[0051] After the support plate 3 and the finished product 52 are transported to the corresponding position of the main storage rack 7 in the warehouse by the material handling vehicle 8, the support plate 3 and the finished product 52 are pushed onto the main storage rack 7 so that the support plate 3 is in an empty state after the finished product 52 is hoisted and shipped.

[0052] The detachable tooling pallet and the method for putting products on and off the line provided in the embodiment of the present application can complete the work of putting products on and off the line without the need for lifting equipment 10, thereby realizing a logistics model in which the products do not fall to the ground.

[0053] The support plate 2 provided in the embodiment of the present application is connected with the tooling base to form an integral structure and is placed on the production line 6. When a product structure 51 on the support plate 3 needs to be assembled online, a material handling vehicle 8 can be used as a handling tool, and a lifting platform 9 can be used as a lifting transfer component to make the surface of the support plate 2 flush with the surface of the support plate 3, so that the product structure 51 can be pushed and transferred between the support plate 2 and the support plate 3. After the product structure 51 is transferred to the support plate 2, the support plate 2 and the support plate 3 are locked, and then the product can be transferred on the production line 6 for corresponding assembly.

[0054] In some scenarios, when the assembly or processing of one side is completed and the other side needs to be assembled or processed, since the position of the product structure 51 placed on the support plate 3 is fixed, the staff needs to move to assemble or process it, which brings great inconvenience to the staff. In order to solve this problem, the embodiment of the present application can also provide that the support plate 2 is provided with a directional protrusion 21 and a driving mechanism 22 for driving the directional protrusion 21 to move up and down; the support plate 3 is provided with a directional groove 31 for the directional protrusion 21 to be inserted.

[0055] When the support plate 2 is connected to the supporting plate 3, the pushing mechanism 22 is actuated to cause the directional protrusion 21 to pop up and enter the directional groove 31. When the product structure 51 on the upper part of the supporting plate 3 needs to be rotated, it is only necessary to release the lock for locking the supporting plate 3 and the supporting plate 2, and then rotate the supporting plate 3, so that the supporting plate 3 carrying the product structure 51 can be rotated relative to the supporting plate 2. After rotating to the target position, the supporting plate 3 and the supporting plate 2 can be locked again. Since the directional protrusion 21 can limit the relative radial movement between the supporting plate 3 and the supporting plate 2 during the rotation process (equivalent to forming a relatively rotating axis), the rotation process will not cause the supporting plate 3 to separate from the supporting plate 2.

[0056] In order to facilitate the locking of the support plate 3 and the support plate 2, the embodiment of the present application can also provide that the support plate 2 is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 23, and the support plate 3 is provided with a plurality of second positioning holes 32. After the support plate 2 is connected to the support plate 3, the plurality of first positioning holes 23 and the plurality of second positioning holes 32 are arranged one by one correspondingly, so that the support plate 2 and the support plate 3 can be locked by inserting a plurality of positioning pins 4 into the relative first positioning holes 23 and the second positioning holes 32 one by one.

[0057] After the supporting plate 3 and the product structure 51 are connected to the support plate 2, during the production process on the production line 6, there may be a need to adjust the height of the product structure 51. In order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the product structure 51 during the production process, the embodiment of the present application can also provide the upper part of the lifting base 1 connected to the support plate 2 through a lifting mechanism 11.

[0058] After the lifting platform 9 is used to adjust the support plate 2 and the support plate 3 to the corresponding heights, the support plate 3 and the product structure 51 are pushed onto the support plate 2. In order to reduce the resistance during the pushing process, the embodiment of the present application can also provide that a plurality of universal balls 24 are arranged on the support plate 2. During the pushing process of the support plate 3, it will contact with a plurality of universal balls 24, so that the sliding friction between the two is changed into rolling friction, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the relative friction between the two during the pushing process, and ensure that the support plate 3 can be smoothly pushed onto the support plate 2.

[0059] In order to achieve the purpose of not touching the ground during the entire production and transportation process, the embodiment of the present application can also provide for separating the support plate 3 from the support plate 2 and placing the support plate 3 on the main storage rack 7.

[0060] In order to facilitate delivery, the embodiment of the present application can also provide product lifting through a lifting device 10, so as to transfer the product structure 51 to the support plate 3 or transfer the finished product 52 from the support plate 3 to achieve lifting and delivery.

[0061] The following uses the positioning pins 4 and the positioning holes to lock the support plate 2 and the support plate 3 as an example to introduce the tooling pallet provided by the present application and the method of using the same in detail.

[0062] The tooling base and the support plate 2 are integrated, and the supporting plate 3, the tooling base and the support plate 2 are detachable.

[0063] The support plate 2 is provided with four first positioning holes 23 for installing positioning pins 4. The support plate 2 is provided with a plurality of universal balls 24 for moving the support plate 3.

[0064] A pushing mechanism 22 is provided in the support plate 2 for pushing the directional protrusion 21. When the pushing mechanism 22 is pressed, the directional protrusion 21 pops up. When the pushing mechanism 22 is not pressed, the directional protrusion 21 shrinks and is flush with the plane of the support plate 2.

[0065] The positioning pin 4 is inserted into the second positioning hole 32 and the first positioning hole 23 in the supporting plate 3 and the support plate 2 , so that the supporting plate 3 cannot rotate or move on the support plate 2 .

[0066] When the supporting plate 3 needs to be rotated, remove the positioning pin 4 inserted in the second positioning hole 32 and the first positioning hole 23 in the supporting plate 3 and the support plate 2, and then rotate the supporting plate 3. When it is rotated to a suitable position, insert the positioning pin 4 into the second positioning hole 32 and the first positioning hole 23 in the supporting plate 3 and the support plate 2 again to prevent the supporting plate 3 from moving.

[0067] When using tooling:

[0068] 1. When the product structural part 51 is received, it is placed on the support plate 3 in the tooling tray. The support plate 3 has been placed on the storage rack in advance. At this time, the support plate 3 is combined with the main body of the product structural part 51. Figure 2 shown.

[0069] 2. When the product is shipped out of the warehouse, the product structure 51 and the supporting plate 3 below are transported together to the material handling vehicle 8. Figure 3 shown.

[0070] 3. Push the support plate 3 together with the product structure 51 onto the lifting platform 9 of the production line. Figure 4 shown.

[0071] 4. The lifting platform 9 rises to the same height as the support plate 2 of the production line tooling pallet, and pushes the support plate 3 onto the support plate 2. At this time, the support plate 3 and the support plate 2 are combined together to form a complete tooling pallet. Figure 5 shown.

[0072] 5. The product structure 51 is assembled on the production line 6 to form a finished product 52. When the finished product 52 is off the production line, the support plate 3 and the finished product 52 are not separated and are transferred to the material handling vehicle 8 through the lifting platform 9. Figure 6 shown.

[0073] 6. Push the finished product 52 together with the support plate 3 onto the main storage rack 7 in the warehouse. Figure 7 shown.

[0074] 7. After the finished product 52 is hoisted and shipped, the support plate 3 is in an empty state. Figure 8 shown.

[0075] 8. When a new product structural part 51 is received, it is placed on the supporting plate 3 of the tooling tray of the present invention. Figure 3 shown.

[0076] In summary, the detachable tooling pallet provided in this application can realize the product on-line and off-line in a non-lifting manner. Reduce the safety risks caused by product lifting. Optimize the production line layout, increase the usable area of ​​the production line construction by eliminating the lifting equipment. At the same time, the detachable tooling pallet can reduce the cost of the tooling pallet.
