[0001] This invention relates to the field of tooling and fixture technology, specifically to a reusable tooling and fixture for transfer between devices. Background Technology
[0002] A fixture is a process device used during machining to quickly secure a workpiece and maintain the correct relative position of the machine tool, cutting tool, and workpiece. In other words, workholding fixtures are an indispensable component of machining. Driven by the development of machine tool technology towards high speed, high efficiency, precision, composite, intelligent, and environmentally friendly directions, fixture technology is developing towards high precision, high efficiency, modularity, combination, versatility, and economy.
[0003] Currently, tooling fixtures are difficult to adapt to different equipment, and the fixed tooling limits require adjustment and assembly according to the limitations of different equipment, which is inconvenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed a reusable tooling fixture for transfer between devices. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a reusable tooling fixture for transferring data between devices, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a reusable tooling fixture for inter-device transfer, comprising a main body and a base plate. The main body has four internal corners with built-in slots, and four sets of these slots are provided. A drive assembly for adjusting the position of the main body is installed at the bottom of one set of the built-in slots. The drive assembly includes a lead screw, a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, and a support column. The first mounting plate is located at the bottom of the lead screw, and the second mounting plate is fixedly mounted to the bottom outer surface of the first mounting plate with screws. A servo motor is mounted on the bottom outer surface of the second mounting plate via a drive shaft, and a support column is mounted outside the servo motor. Sliding rods are slidably arranged inside the three sets of built-in slots. A limiting assembly for limiting movement is installed inside the main body, and the limiting assembly includes an electric push rod, a positioning plate, an auxiliary block, and an auxiliary screw. The positioning plate is installed at the output end of the electric push rod, and an auxiliary screw is threaded onto one side of the positioning plate. An auxiliary screw is rotatably mounted at the end of the auxiliary screw. The base plate is located at the bottom of the support column.
[0007] Furthermore, an upper plate is installed at the bottom of the slide bar, and a lower plate is fixed to the bottom outer surface of the upper plate by screws.
[0008] Furthermore, a connecting frame is provided at the bottom of the lower plate, and a connecting frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame.
[0009] Furthermore, auxiliary plates are slidably installed on both sides of the bottom plate, and the auxiliary plates are in a "C" - shaped structure.
[0010] Furthermore, connecting plates are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the main body, and extension plates are provided at the ends of the connecting plates.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting plates and the extension plates form an "L" - shaped structure, and there are two sets of connecting plates and extension plates, and the two sets of connecting plates and extension plates are engaged with each other.
[0012] Furthermore, side grooves are opened on both sides inside the main body, and a guiding shaft is installed inside one set of side grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, a transmission roller is arranged on the outer surface of the guiding shaft, and a first rubber pad is wound and installed on the outer surface of one side of the transmission roller.
[0014] Furthermore, a belt is arranged on the outer surface of the transmission roller, and an auxiliary component for replacing the first rubber pad is installed on the outer surface of one side of the belt.
[0015] Furthermore, the auxiliary component includes a second rubber pad, a driving roller, an inner shaft, a gear disc and a driving gear. An inner shaft is arranged inside the second rubber pad, a driving roller is installed at one end of the inner shaft, a gear disc is arranged on one side of the driving roller, and a driving gear is meshingly installed on the outer surface of one side of the gear disc.
[0016] The present invention provides a recyclable tooling fixture for transmission between devices, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. For the recyclable tooling fixture for transmission between devices, through the rotation of the screw rod, the design of a set of internal threaded built - in grooves can be used to drive the main body to rotate and move upward. At the same time, with the design of the slide rod, it can be driven to make the main body move horizontally upward in the longitudinal direction of the slide rod, which is convenient for flexible height adjustment when using the main body for different devices, increasing the adaptability. In addition, through the design of the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate and the screw, different lengths of screw rods can be replaced according to the usage requirements. Thus, according to the clamping requirements of different devices for items, the required number of main bodies can be installed on the outer surface of the screw rod. Therefore, the items placed between adjacent two main bodies can be limited by the rotation of the screw rod. Furthermore, it is convenient to process from both sides and the middle area limited by the main body according to the requirements of different devices. At the same time, through the upward or downward movement of the main body, it is convenient to clamp and use the sizes of items required for different devices, and the flexibility is further improved.
[0018] 2. The equipment uses reusable tooling fixtures for transfer between devices. Through the design of the limiting components, the auxiliary screw can be pre-rotated according to the shape of the items to be clamped and the required contact surface. The rotation of the auxiliary screw can drive the auxiliary block to extend about the positioning plate. The extension length is controllable and can be adapted to the shape of the items to be clamped and the required contact area.
[0019] 3. The equipment uses reusable tooling fixtures for transfer between components. Through the design of auxiliary components, when rubber pad one and rubber pad two wear out, the rotation of the drive gear drives the gear disk to rotate. The gear disk is connected to the drive roller and the internal shaft. Thus, the rotation of the internal shaft and the belt drive drive the guide shaft and the transmission roller to rotate. This causes the rubber pad one on the outer surface of the guide shaft to change position, facilitating the simultaneous replacement of rubber pad one and rubber pad two on both sides of the main body. The structure is simple and does not require trial kits to replace rubber pad one and rubber pad two one by one. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a reusable tooling fixture for inter-device transfer, comprising a main body 1, an internal groove 2, a connecting plate 3, an extension plate 4, a side groove 5, a base plate 6, an auxiliary plate 7, a drive assembly 8, a lead screw 801, a first mounting plate 802, a second mounting plate 803, a support column 804, a servo motor 9, a limit assembly 10, an electric push rod 1001, a positioning plate 1002, an auxiliary block 1003, an auxiliary screw 1004, a first rubber pad 11, a guide shaft 12, a transmission roller 13, a belt 14, an upper plate 15, a lower plate 16, a connecting frame 17, an auxiliary assembly 18, a second rubber pad 1801, a drive roller 1802, an internal shaft 1803, a gear disk 1804, a drive gear 1805, a rotating shaft 19, and a sliding... The rod 20 has four internal slots 2 at its four corners, and there are four sets of internal slots 2. Connecting plates 3 are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the main body 1, and extension plates 4 are provided at the ends of the connecting plates 3. The connecting plates 3 and extension plates 4 form an "L" shape structure, and there are two sets of connecting plates 3 and extension plates 4. The two sets of connecting plates 3 and extension plates 4 interlock, facilitating the design of the shape structure formed by the two sets of connecting plates 3 and extension plates 4. This design facilitates the horizontal assembly of the two main bodies 1, allowing for easy assembly according to the needs of clamping items in different devices. A drive assembly 8 for adjusting the position of the main body 1 is installed at the bottom of one set of internal slots 2. Component 8 includes a lead screw 801, a first mounting plate 802, a second mounting plate 803, and a support column 804. The first mounting plate 802 is located at the bottom of the lead screw 801, and the second mounting plate 803 is fixed to the bottom outer surface of the first mounting plate 802 by screws. A servo motor 9 is mounted on the bottom outer surface of the second mounting plate 803 via a drive shaft, and the support column 804 is mounted outside the servo motor 9. Slide rods 20 are slidably arranged inside the three sets of internal grooves 2. The servo motor 9 drives the lead screw 801 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 801, through the internally threaded grooves 2, causes the main body 1 to rotate and move upward. Simultaneously, the slide rods 20, in conjunction with the design of the internal grooves 20, cause the main body 1 to move horizontally upward in the longitudinal direction of the slide rods 20. The height of the main body 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to different equipment, increasing its adaptability. In addition, the design of mounting plate 1 802, mounting plate 2 803 and screws allows for the replacement of lead screws 801 of different lengths as needed. This allows for the installation of multiple sets of main bodies 1 on the outer surface of the lead screw 801 according to the required number of items to be held by different equipment. The rotation of the lead screw 801 can limit the items placed between two adjacent sets of main bodies 1, thereby facilitating processing from both sides and the middle area of the main body 1 after it is limited, according to the needs of different equipment. At the same time, the up or down movement of the main body 1 facilitates clamping and use of items of different sizes to be processed by different equipment, further improving flexibility.
[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a limiting component 10 for limiting is installed inside the main body 1, and the limiting component 10 includes an electric push rod 1001, a positioning plate 1002, an auxiliary block 1003 and an auxiliary screw 1004. The output end of the electric push rod 1001 is installed with the positioning plate 1002, and an auxiliary screw 1004 is threadedly installed on one side of the positioning plate 1002. The end of the auxiliary screw 1004 is rotatably provided with the auxiliary screw 1004. The bottom plate 6 is arranged at the bottom of the support column 804. Auxiliary plates 7 are slidably installed on both sides of the bottom plate 6, and the auxiliary plates 7 are in a "C" - shaped structure. The main body 1 can be used independently without cooperating with the driving component 8. Through the design of the electric push rod 1001, the position of the positioning plate 1002 can be moved. By moving the two positioning plates 1002, the items placed between the two positioning plates 1002 can be clamped and positioned. In addition, according to the shape of the clamped item and the required contact surface, the auxiliary screw 1004 can be rotated in advance. By rotating the auxiliary screw 1004, the auxiliary block 1003 can be driven to extend out relative to the positioning plate 1002, and the extension length is controllable, which is convenient for adapting to the shape of the clamped item and the required contact area.
[0030] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 It should be noted that there seems to be a repetition error in the original text where "the end of the auxiliary screw 1004 is rotatably provided with the auxiliary screw 1004", which is likely a miswriting. This translation is based on the original text as presented.As shown, an upper plate 15 is installed at the bottom of the slide bar 20, and a lower plate 16 is fixed to the bottom outer surface of the upper plate 15 by screws. A connecting bracket 17 is provided at the bottom of the lower plate 16, and a connecting bracket 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting bracket 17. Based on the design of the upper plate 15, lower plate 16, and screws, it is convenient to replace the slide bar 20 with the required length as needed, making it easy for the tooling fixture to meet the processing requirements of different equipment. It also facilitates the reuse of the main body 1, reducing the limitations of tooling fixtures used on different equipment. The main body 1 has openings on both sides inside. A side groove 5 contains a guide shaft 12. A transmission roller 13 is mounted on the outer surface of the guide shaft 12. A rubber pad 11 is wound and mounted on one side of the outer surface of the transmission roller 13. A belt 14 is mounted on the outer surface of the transmission roller 13, and an auxiliary component 18 for replacing the rubber pad 11 is mounted on one side of the outer surface of the belt 14. The auxiliary component 18 includes a second rubber pad 1801, a drive roller 1802, an internal shaft 1803, a gear disk 1804, and a drive gear 1805. The internal shaft 1801 is located inside the second rubber pad 1801. 3. An active roller 1802 is installed at one end of the built-in shaft 1803, and a gear disk 1804 is provided on one side of the active roller 1802. An active gear 1805 is meshed on the outer surface of one side of the gear disk 1804. When the two main bodies 1 are used to clamp the item, the design of the rubber pad 11 and the rubber pad 2 1801 can protect the item placed on the outer surface of the two main bodies 1, avoiding excessive wear during clamping. In addition, when the rubber pad 11 and the rubber pad 2 1801 wear out, the active gear 1805 can be rotated to prevent wear. When the drive gear 1805 rotates, it drives the gear disk 1804 to rotate. The gear disk 1804 is connected to the drive roller 1802 and the built-in shaft 1803. Thus, through the rotation of the built-in shaft 1803 and the cooperation of the belt 14, the guide shaft 12 and the transmission roller 13 can be driven to rotate. As a result, the rubber pad 11 on the outer surface of the guide shaft 12 will change position, which facilitates the simultaneous replacement of the rubber pad 11 and rubber pad 2 1801 on both sides of the main body 1. The structure is simple and does not require trial kits to replace the rubber pad 11 and rubber pad 2 1801 one by one, thus improving efficiency.
[0031] In summary, as Figures 1-6As shown, the device uses a reusable tooling fixture for transfer between devices. During use, the servo motor 9 drives the lead screw 801 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 801, through a set of internally threaded grooves 2, causes the main body 1 to rotate and move upwards. Simultaneously, the sliding rod 20 allows the main body 1 to move horizontally upwards in the longitudinal direction of the sliding rod 20, facilitating flexible height adjustment of the main body 1 for different devices and increasing adaptability. Furthermore, the design of mounting plates 1-802, 2-803, and screws allows for the replacement of lead screws 801 of different lengths as needed. This allows for the installation of multiple main bodies 1 on the outer surface of the lead screw 801 according to the requirements of different devices for handling items. The rotation of the lead screw 801 limits the position of items placed between two adjacent main bodies 1, facilitating processing from both sides and the middle area of the main body 1 after it is limited, according to the needs of different equipment. Simultaneously, the up-and-down movement of the main body 1 allows for clamping of items of different sizes to be processed by different equipment, further improving flexibility. The design of the upper plate 15, lower plate 16, and screws allows for easy replacement of the slide bar 20 with the required length, ensuring that the tooling fixture meets the processing needs of different equipment. It also facilitates the reuse of the main body 1, reducing limitations in tooling fixture use between different equipment. Furthermore, the main body 1 can be used independently without the drive assembly 8, via the electric push rod 100. The design of unit 1 allows the positioning plate 1002 to move, enabling the clamping and positioning of items placed between the two positioning plates 1002. Furthermore, the auxiliary screw 1004 can be pre-rotated according to the shape of the clamped item and the required contact area. Rotation of the auxiliary screw 1004 causes the auxiliary block 1003 to extend relative to the positioning plate 1002, with a controllable extension length to adapt to the shape of the clamped item and the required contact area. Additionally, when using the two main bodies 1 to clamp items, the design of rubber pads 11 and 1801 protects the items placed on the outer surfaces of the two main bodies 1, preventing excessive wear during clamping. When rubber pad 11 and rubber pad 2 1801 wear out, the drive gear 1805 rotates, which in turn drives the gear disk 1804 to rotate. The gear disk 1804 is connected to the drive roller 1802 and the inner shaft 1803. Thus, the rotation of the inner shaft 1803 and the engagement of the belt 14 drive the guide shaft 12 and the transmission roller 13 to rotate, causing the rubber pad 11 on the outer surface of the guide shaft 12 to change position. This facilitates the simultaneous replacement of rubber pad 11 and rubber pad 2 1801 on both sides of the main body 1. The structure is simple, eliminating the need for individual replacement of rubber pad 11 and rubber pad 2 1801, thus improving efficiency. Finally, the shape structure design composed of two sets of connecting plates 3 and extension plates 4...The design of the two sets of connecting plates 3 and extension plates 4, arranged around the main body 1, facilitates lateral assembly of the two main bodies 1 and allows for easy assembly according to the specific needs of clamping items in different devices.
