Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of clamping and positioning technology, and in particular to a carrier. Background Art

[0002] As assembly line automated processing becomes more and more common, the demand for product positioning technology is becoming higher and higher. In traditional clamping devices, multiple limit components in a single clamp work independently, and multiple limit components work together to limit the product. However, it is easy for multiple limit components to have problems in coordination, thereby reducing the positioning accuracy of the clamping device. Summary of the invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a vehicle for the above problems, including:

[0004] A carrier body, wherein the carrier body has a plurality of clamping positions;

[0005] A first limiting member and a second limiting member are arranged corresponding to each of the clamping positions, the first limiting member is connected to a first linkage member, and abuts against the second limiting member via the first linkage member;

[0006] A push rod connected to the carrier body, the push rod being connected to a plurality of second linkage members, and respectively abutting against each of the first limiting members through each of the second linkage members;

[0007] When the push rod is subjected to a force in a first direction, the second linkage member can drive the first limiting member to move in the second direction, and the first linkage member can drive the second limiting member to move in the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction are away from each other.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first limiting member includes a first limiting column and a first bottom plate which are perpendicular to each other, the first bottom plate is arranged at the bottom of the clamping position, and the first limiting column is arranged in the clamping position perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping position.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first limiting member includes at least one first limiting column, and each of the first limiting columns is distributed on the same side of the clamping position.

[0010] In one embodiment, the second linkage member abuts against an end of the first bottom plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second limiting member includes a second limiting column and a second bottom plate which are perpendicular to each other, the second bottom plate is arranged at the bottom of the clamping position, and the second limiting column is arranged in the clamping position perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping position.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first linkage member abuts against an end of the second bottom plate.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first position-limiting member is connected to the corresponding clamping position via a first restoring member, and the first restoring member can provide a restoring force for the first position-limiting member in a direction opposite to the second direction;

[0014] The second position-limiting member is connected to the corresponding clamping position via a second restoring member, and the second restoring member can provide a restoring force for the second position-limiting member in a direction opposite to the first direction.

[0015] In one embodiment, the push rod is connected to the carrier body via a third restoring member, and the third restoring member can provide a restoring force for the push rod in a direction opposite to the first direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second linkage member has a second inclined surface, the end of the first base plate has a first arc end surface, and the second inclined surface abuts against the first arc end surface.

[0018] When the carrier is unlocked, when the push rod is subjected to a force in the first direction and starts to move toward the first direction, the second linkage member connected to the push rod can move synchronously with the push rod. Since the second linkage member abuts against the first limiter, the second linkage member can drive the first limiter to move along the second direction, and the first linkage member connected to the first limiter also moves accordingly. Since the first linkage member abuts against the second limiter, the first linkage member can drive the second limiter to move along the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction are away from each other. That is, through the mutual linkage between the push rod, the first limiter, and the second limiter, the movement of the push rod can drive the first limiter and the second limiter on each clamping position to move in a direction away from each other, so as to achieve synchronous, rapid, and convenient unlocking of each clamping position on the carrier body. The first linkage member is arranged between the first limiter and the second limiter, so as to improve the cooperative working ability of the first limiter and the second limiter, avoid the phenomenon that a certain limiter moves while other limiters do not move at the same time, and improve the positioning accuracy of the entire clamping device.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0029] In one embodiment, a carrier is provided that can be used for clamping and positioning of products.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The carrier provided in this embodiment includes a carrier body 10 , a first limiting member 20 , a second limiting member 30 and a push rod 40 .

[0031] The carrier body 10 has a plurality of clamping positions. A first limiter 20 and a second limiter 30 are arranged corresponding to each of the clamping positions, and the first limiter 20 is connected to a first linkage member 21, and abuts against the second limiter 30 via the first linkage member 21. A push rod 40 is connected to the carrier body 10, and the push rod 40 is connected to a plurality of second linkage members 41, and abuts against each of the first limiters 20 via each of the second linkage members 41. When the push rod 40 is subjected to a force in the first direction a, the second linkage member 41 can drive the first limiter 20 to move along the second direction b, and at the same time, the first linkage member 21 can drive the second limiter 30 to move along the first direction a, and the first direction a and the second direction b are away from each other.

[0032] When the vehicle is unlocked, when the push rod 40 is subjected to the force in the first direction a and starts to move toward the first direction a, the second linkage member 41 connected to the push rod 40 can move synchronously with the push rod 40. Since the second linkage member 41 abuts against the first limit member 20, the second linkage member 41 can drive the first limit member 20 to move along the second direction b, and the first linkage member 21 connected to the first limit member 20 also moves accordingly. Since the first linkage member 21 abuts against the second limit member 30, the first linkage member 21 can drive the second limit member 30 to move along the first direction a, and the first direction a and the second direction b move away from each other. That is, through the mutual linkage between the push rod 40, the first limit member 20, and the second limit member 30, the movement of the push rod 40 can drive the first limit member 20 and the second limit member 30 on each clamping position to move in the direction away from each other, thereby realizing synchronous, fast and convenient unlocking of each clamping position on the carrier body 10. A first linkage member 21 is arranged between the first limit member 20 and the second limit member 30, so as to improve the cooperative working ability of the first limit member 20 and the second limit member 30, avoid the phenomenon that a certain limit member moves while other limit members do not cooperate with the movement, and improve the positioning accuracy of the entire clamping device.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first limiting member 20 includes a first limiting column 22 and a first bottom plate 23 which are perpendicular to each other. The first bottom plate 23 is arranged at the bottom of the clamping position, and the first limiting column 22 is arranged in the clamping position perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping position. The movement of the first bottom plate 23 can drive the movement of the first limiting column 22, and the first bottom plate 23 is arranged at the bottom of the clamping position, which is easier to control. Therefore, in practical applications, the movement of the first limiting column 22 can be driven by controlling the movement of the first bottom plate 23. When the first bottom plate 23 is controlled to move toward the second direction b, the first limiting column 22 moves toward the second direction b accordingly to achieve unlocking. Conversely, when the first bottom plate 23 is controlled to move in the opposite direction of the second direction b, the first limiting column 22 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction b accordingly to achieve positioning.

[0034] Further, in the above embodiment, the first limiting column 22 may be a rectangular parallelepiped, and the first bottom plate 23 may be a T-shaped metal plate.

[0035] Further, in one embodiment, the first limiting member 20 includes at least one first limiting column 22, and each first limiting column 22 is distributed on the same side of the clamping position. The first limiting member 20 can be a first limiting column 22, and the first limiting column 22 can be set on one side of the clamping position, and the first limiting column 22 can be set in the middle position of the clamping position, while completing the limiting of the clamping position, reducing costs and improving the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the number of the first limiting posts 22 may be two or three, etc., and no specific limitation is made here. Each first limiting post 22 may be respectively arranged on the same side in the clamping position according to the requirements. For example, when the number of the first limiting posts 22 is two, the two first limiting posts 22 may be arranged at two end positions on the same side in the clamping position, or may be evenly arranged on the same side in the clamping position; when the number of the first limiting posts 22 is three, the three first limiting posts 22 may be evenly or unevenly arranged on the same side in the clamping position.

[0037] When more first limiting posts 22 are provided and more positioning points are generated, the usage scenarios will also be limited, and the contact surface of the product to be positioned needs to be closer to a plane.

[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second linkage member 41 abuts against the end of the first bottom plate 23. The second linkage member 41 can drive the first bottom plate 23 to move while moving, thereby improving the control capability of the second linkage member 41 over the first bottom plate 23.

[0039] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, the second limiting member 30 includes a second limiting column 31 and a second bottom plate 32 which are perpendicular to each other. The second bottom plate 32 is arranged at the bottom of the clamping position, and the second limiting column 31 is arranged in the clamping position perpendicular to the bottom of the clamping position. The movement of the second bottom plate 32 can drive the movement of the second limiting column 31, and the second bottom plate 32 is arranged at the bottom of the clamping position, which is easier to control. Therefore, in practical applications, the movement of the second limiting column 31 can be driven by controlling the movement of the second bottom plate 32. When the second bottom plate 32 is controlled to move toward the first direction a, the second limiting column 31 moves toward the first direction a accordingly to achieve unlocking. Conversely, when the second bottom plate 32 is controlled to move in the opposite direction of the first direction a, the second limiting column 31 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction a accordingly to achieve positioning.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the second limiting column 31 can be a cuboid, and the second bottom plate 32 can be a cuboid with a curved surface. A second limiting column 31 can be provided for each clamping position, and the first limiting column 22 and the second limiting column 31 can be provided on two adjacent sides of the clamping position, respectively, so as to position the clamping position from two directions.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first linkage member 21 abuts against the end of the second bottom plate 32. The first linkage member 21 can drive the second bottom plate 32 to move while moving, thereby improving the control capability of the first linkage member 21 over the second bottom plate 32.

[0042] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first position-limiting member 20 is connected to the corresponding clamping position via the first reset member 24, and the first reset member 24 can provide a reset force in the direction opposite to the second direction b for the first position-limiting member 20. When the first position-limiting member 20 moves along the second direction b, the first reset member 24 is driven to move in the second direction b. When the first position-limiting member 20 finishes moving and needs to be reset, the first reset member 24 applies a driving force in the opposite direction of the second direction b to the first position-limiting member 20, so that the first position-limiting member 20 is reset, so as to achieve the effect that the first position-limiting member 20 can continue to work, thereby improving the continuous working ability of the first position-limiting column 22.

[0043] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second position-limiting member 30 is connected to the corresponding clamping position via the second reset member 33, and the second reset member 33 can provide a reset force in the direction opposite to the first direction a for the second position-limiting member 30. When the second position-limiting member 30 moves along the first direction a, the second reset member 33 is driven to move in the first direction a. When the second position-limiting member 30 finishes moving and needs to be reset, the second reset member 33 applies a driving force in the opposite direction of the first direction a to the second position-limiting member 30, so that the second position-limiting member 30 is reset, so that the second position-limiting member 30 can continue to work, thereby improving the continuous working ability of the second position-limiting column 31.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the push rod 40 is connected to the carrier body 10 via the third reset member 42, and the third reset member 42 can provide the push rod 40 with a reset force in the direction opposite to the first direction a. When the push rod 40 moves along the first direction a, the third reset member 42 is driven to move in the first direction a. When the push rod 40 finishes moving and needs to be reset, the third reset member 42 applies a driving force in the opposite direction of the first direction a to the push rod 40, so that the push rod 40 can be reset, so that the push rod 40 can continue to work, thereby improving the continuous working ability of the push rod 40.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first reset member 24, the second reset member 33 and the third reset member 42 can be springs. When the reset action is not performed, the reset member is driven to move and enters a compressed state to store the energy required for driving the reset. When the reset movement is performed, the reset member releases the stored energy to increase the driving force of the reset movement. Compared with the traditional method that requires a driving device to provide power, the reset member is set as a spring, which can simplify the structure, reduce costs, and improve the stability of the reset assembly.

[0046] In actual application scenarios, in the initial state, each clamping position is in a positioning state, that is, a locked state, at which time the first limiting column 22 in the first limiting member 20 and the second limiting column 31 in the second limiting member 30 are close to each other. When unlocking begins, the driving device drives the push rod 40 toward the first direction a, and the push rod 40 moves in the first direction a, and the second linkage member 41 on the push rod 40 moves accordingly, and the second linkage member 41 drives the first limiting member 20 to move toward the second direction b, and the first linkage member 21 on the first limiting member 20 drives the second limiting member 30 to move toward the first direction a, thereby making the first limiting column 22 on the first limiting member 20 and the second limiting column 31 on the second limiting member 30 move away from each other, thereby achieving unlocking. When resetting begins, the driving force in the first direction a provided by the driving device is canceled. At this time, the push rod 40 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction a under the resetting action of the spring, and the second linkage member 41 on the push rod 40 moves accordingly in the opposite direction of the first direction a. The first limit member 20 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction b under the resetting action of the spring, and the second limit member 30 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction a under the resetting action of the spring, thereby making the first limit column 22 on the first limit member 20 and the second limit column 31 on the second limit member 30 approach each other, that is, resetting to the initial state.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the second linkage member 41 has a second inclined surface 43, and the end of the first bottom plate 23 has a first arc end surface 25, and the second inclined surface 43 abuts against the first arc end surface 25. The second linkage member 41 and the first bottom plate 23 abut against each other through this structure, when the push rod 40 moves in the first direction a, the first arc end surface 25 slides on the second inclined surface 43, and the first stopper 20 is driven to move in the second direction b, so that the coordinated movement of the second linkage member 41 and the first bottom plate 23 can be completed directly through the structure, which simplifies the structure and improves stability.

[0048] Further, in one embodiment, the first linkage member 21 has a first inclined surface 26, and the end of the second bottom plate 32 has a second arc end surface 34, and the first inclined surface 26 abuts against the second arc end surface 34. The first linkage member 21 and the second bottom plate 32 abut against each other through this structure, the first stopper 20 moves in the second direction b, the second arc end surface 34 slides on the first inclined surface 26, and the second stopper 30 is driven to move in the first direction a, so that the coordinated movement of the first linkage member 21 and the second bottom plate 32 can be completed directly through the structure, which simplifies the structure and improves stability.

[0049] Further, in one embodiment, the first direction a and the second direction b are perpendicular to each other, wherein the first direction a may be along the X-axis, and the second direction b may be along the Y-axis.

[0050] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
