[0034] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the PACK positioning and clamping device for automatic equipment includes, from right to left, a first lifting component 1 and a second lifting component 2 with the same structural composition.

[0035] 1. The first lifting assembly 1 or the second lifting assembly 2 comprises a lifting frame 24 distributed along the front-to-back direction, a lifting fixed bottom plate 21 is installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 24, a lifting plate 29 is installed on the inner side of the lifting frame 24, and the lifting plate 29 is connected to the lifting fixed bottom plate 21 below through a plurality of tension springs 211. A plurality of lifting plates 28 and a plurality of lifting cam assemblies 26 are evenly installed on the lifting plate 29 along the front-to-back direction, a lifting inclined wedge block 27 adapted to the above-mentioned lifting cam assembly 26 is arranged below the lifting cam assembly 26, and a push cylinder 210 located on one side of the lifting inclined wedge block 27 and installed on the lifting fixed bottom plate 21 drives the lifting inclined wedge block 27 to move in the front-to-back direction.

[0036] The lifting cam assembly 26 includes a cam seat 261 installed on the lifting plate 29, an adjusting plate 262 is installed at the bottom of the cam seat 261, a rear vertical plate 263 and a front vertical plate 265 are installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 262 from the outside to the inside, and a cam 264 is installed between the rear vertical plate 263 and the front vertical plate 265, and the cam 264 is adapted to the lifting inclined wedge block 27 below. The cam seat 261 is fixed to the lifting plate 29, and a groove is provided at the fixing place. The cam 264 is installed between the rear vertical plate 263 and the front vertical plate 265, wherein a limiting groove is provided on the front vertical plate 265. The adjusting plate 262 is connected to the rear vertical plate 263 and the front vertical plate 265, and the height between the adjusting plate 262 and the cam seat 261 can be adjusted by a top screw.

[0037] A front limit lever is connected at the front end between the two lifting frames 24, and a conveying trolley stop cylinder 4 and a conveying trolley stop block 23 are installed at the rear ends of the two lifting frames 24. The conveying trolley stop cylinder 4 drives the inner conveying trolley stop block 23 to move in the left and right directions.

[0038] At least one product presence detection component 5 is installed on the lifting frame 24. The product presence detection component 5 includes a detection device mounting rod and a detection sensor installed on the detection device mounting rod.

[0039] A guide assembly 22 is also provided on the lifting fixed bottom plate 21 inside the lifting frame 24. The guide assembly 22 includes a guide frame distributed along the front-rear direction and a plurality of guide wheels evenly installed on the guide frame along the front-rear direction.

[0040] A lifting positioning assembly 25 is arranged on the top of the lifting frame 24, and the lifting positioning assembly 25 includes a lifting positioning frame distributed along the front-to-back direction and a plurality of lifting positioning pins evenly installed on the lifting positioning frame along the front-to-back direction, which can be positioned with the pallet to ensure position accuracy.

[0041] The lifting fixed base plate 21 is fixed to the ground, and the four corners are fixed to the ground with anchor plates to prevent the machine from shaking. The lifting frame 24 and the lifting fixed base plate 21 are adjusted in height by adjusting bolts so that the height of the two sides of the overall frame is consistent. The guide assembly 22 provides a guide for the pusher trolley. When the trolley is in place, the conveying trolley stop cylinder 4 and the conveying trolley stop block 23 work together to make the trolley immovable. The lifting plate 29 is connected to the lifting frame 24 through a linear guide rail.

The working surface of the lifting cam assembly 26 is on the plane of the inclined wedge block, and the cams 264 at the front and rear ends ensure the same height. When the lifting inclined wedge block 27 moves linearly, it will drive the cam 264 to move up and down, thereby achieving the lifting purpose.

[0042] 2. Clamping assemblies 3 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top of the lifting frame 24 .

[0043] The clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping fixing base plate 301 installed on the top of the lifting frame 24, and a clamping cylinder 311 is installed on the clamping fixing base plate 301. The driving end of the clamping cylinder 311 is connected to the upper clamping block 306 through a clamping block connecting plate 305.

[0044] Ribs 302 are installed on both sides of the clamping and fixing base plate 301, a fixed upper plate 303 is installed between the two ribs 302, a guide seat 307 is installed obliquely on the fixed upper plate 303, a pressing block 306 moves freely in the guide seat 307, a guide shaft 304 is installed on the pressing block 306, and the guide shaft 304 moves freely in a guide groove opened on one side of the guide seat 307.

[0045] A pin cylinder 308 is installed on the rib plate 302 on one side through a pin cylinder mounting plate 309. The driving end of the pin cylinder 308 is connected to a pin 310 facing the side of the guide seat 307. The pin 310 can pass through the pin hole on the guide seat 307 and then contact the inner pressure block 306.

[0046] The clamping and fixing base plate 301 is fixed at both ends of the two lifting components, and the other parts are fixed as shown. The rib plate 302 has a locking hole, which is fixed together with the fixing block 303 to prevent the pressure block from displacement during the clamping process. The guide seat 307 is close to the pin cylinder side opening, and the symmetrical surface groove cooperates with the guide shaft 304; the guide shaft 304 is connected to the pressure block to ensure that the pressure block surface does not produce axial deviation; when the pressure block 306 is clamped in place, the pin 310 is inserted into the pressure block from the side to withstand the clamping force, ensuring that the cylinder is not stressed, reducing the size of the cylinder and protecting the service life of the cylinder.

[0047] The working process of the present invention is briefly described as follows:

[0048] 1. The conveyor trolley with the product tray enters the equipment, and the conveyor trolley stop cylinder 4 and the conveyor trolley stop block 23 block and limit the conveyor trolley;

[0049] 2. The push cylinder 210 slowly pushes the lifting wedge block 27, and the tray moves upward as a whole;

[0050] 3. After the pallet rises to its position, the clamping assembly 3 presses the pallet and waits for the subsequent process.

[0051] The present invention can at least have the following functions:

[0052] 1. It can realize product lifting and positioning, and Pack fixing functions.

[0053] 2. Function before lifting and positioning: After the Pack push trolley is in place, the push trolley is blocked.

[0054] 3. Start the push cylinder, which slowly pushes the inclined wedge to drive the Pack to rise.

[0055] 4. Function of fixing incoming material pallet: After the Pack is raised to the right position, the clamping assembly presses the pallet tightly to ensure that the Pack is stable and does not shake in the subsequent process.

[0056] 5. Positioning lifting protection function: The slow-start valve protects the gas system, prevents sudden lifting and lowering, and improves safety protection.

[0057] 6. The lifting and fixing tooling is simple and compatible with PACK packages of various specifications and models.

[0058] The present invention achieves the function of lifting the PACK package by pushing the inclined wedge block through the cylinder, and after the PACK package is lifted into place, the PACK package is fixed to prepare for the subsequent process. The equipment adopts the inclined wedge lifting method, and when the product weight is the same, the cylinder diameter of the lifting cylinder is reduced, the overall height of the equipment is reduced, and the safety is much improved compared with the traditional lifting method.

[0059] The package lifting positioning and clamping device is changed to a fully automated form to reduce manual operation, greatly improving the welding cycle and safety requirements. The inclined wedge lifting method can reduce the Z-axis space and improve safety, and can also be used in conjunction with various related automation equipment.
