DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a cylinder body positioning flow channel, including

[0032] The forward assembly 1 includes a first slide rail 9, and a plurality of adjustable carriers 5 are slidably connected to the first slide rail 9. Different workstations are arranged along the forward assembly 1. After the adjustable carrier 5 passes through the corresponding workstation, the cylinder on the carrier is assembled or tested. The adjustable carrier 5 can adjust the size of the clamped cylinder at any time, that is, the width and length of the cylinder can be adjusted. Specifically:

[0033] The adjustable carrier 5 includes a vertical plate 6, one side of the vertical plate 6 is slidably connected to a lifting slider 7, an upper portion of the adjacent lifting slider 7 is provided with an adjustable clamping claw 8, the other side of the vertical plate 6 is connected to a positioning plate 10, a connecting plate 11 is provided between the positioning plate 10 and the vertical plate 6, the lower portion of the connecting plate 11 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 9, and the vertical plate 6 can be pushed to slide along the first slide rail 9, and the specific adjustable carrier 5 is used to clamp a square cylinder body, and its adjustable clamping claw 8 includes two claw bodies 24, and a horizontal groove body is provided on the vertical plate 6, and the claw body 24 passes through the groove body and extends to the back of the vertical plate 6,

[0034] A clamping jaw adjustment mechanism is provided between the positioning plate 10 and the vertical plate 6, and the clamping jaw adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the opening and closing degree of the clamping jaw. Specifically, the clamping jaw adjustment mechanism includes a sliding plate 22 vertically slidably connected to the positioning plate 10, and the bottom of the sliding plate 22 is elastically connected to the connecting plate 11. The elastic connection here refers to the spring connected to the lower part of the connecting plate 11 and connected to the sliding plate 22. Two groups of waist-shaped holes 23 are symmetrically arranged on the sliding plate 22, and the two groups of waist-shaped holes 23 form a trumpet shape with the opening upward. The adjustable clamping jaw 8 includes two claw bodies 24, one end of the claw body 24 passes through the vertical plate 6 and is respectively connected to a horizontal slider 25, and the horizontal slider 25 is also connected to the back of the vertical plate 6 through the structure of the slide rail. An adjusting roller 26 is provided on the horizontal slider 25, and two groups of adjusting rollers 26 extend into the waist-shaped holes 23 respectively. When a feeding cylinder is needed, By pressing down the sliding plate 22 at the upper part, the transverse slider 25 is opened to both sides along the waist-shaped hole 23, that is, the clamping claws are driven to open to both sides. An elastic member 35 is arranged at the lower part of the transverse slider 25. When the cylinder body is put in, the pressure on the sliding plate 22 is released, and the claw body 24 can be driven by the elastic member 35 to clamp the two sides of the cylinder body. The clamping of the cylinder body in the vertical direction is achieved by the jacking component 12. The jacking component 12 includes at least one set of vertically arranged lifting modules and a second slide rail 13 connected to the lifting module. The lifting module is a screw structure. The sliders of all adjustable carriers 5 are pressed on the second slide rail 13 at the same time. When the distance in the length direction of the cylinder needs to be adjusted, the second slide rail 13 is lifted by the lifting module, so that the clamping distance in the height direction of the cylinder body can be adjusted simultaneously for multiple sets of continuously arranged adjustable carriers 5, and it can be suitable for the operation of cylinder bodies with various specifications and material numbers.

[0035] The advancing method of the adjustable carrier 5 of the conveyor line is that a pushing cylinder 14 is provided at one end of the advancing component 1, and the pushing cylinder 14 pushes the adjustable carrier 5 to move in sequence, and the adjacent adjustable carriers 5 are pushed forward, and the reflux component 2 and the steering component 3 located between the reflux component 2 and the advancing component 1 are also required. The reflux component 2 is used to return the empty carrier after the assembled cylinder body is unloaded to the starting position of the advancing component 1 for continued use. Specifically:

[0036] The return assembly 2 includes a third slide rail 4 parallel to the first slide rail 9 and a conveying belt 15, the conveying belt 15 is provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 16, the clamping blocks 16 are clamped on the conveying belt 15, the clamping blocks 16 have a vertical plate, the plate is provided with a first latch 17, the steering assembly 3 pulls the adjustable carrier 5 from the forward assembly 1 to the return assembly 2, and the first latch 17 is inserted into the positioning plate 10 of the adjustable carrier 5, the steering assembly 3 has two, respectively including a pulling module 18 spanning between the first slide rail 9 and the third slide rail 4, the slider of the pulling module 18 is provided with a carrier plate 19, the carrier plate 19 is provided with a short rail 20, the short rail 20 is connected to the first guide rail or the third guide rail The docking works as follows: when the carrier moves to the end, it is pushed to move onto the short rail 20 again. At this time, the pulling module 18 is moved to pull the carrier back to the reflux component 2, and the short rail 20 docks with the third guide rail. At the same time, since the first latch 17 of the clamp 16 on the conveying belt 15 is inserted into the vertical plate 6 of the adjustable carrier 5, there are two positioning holes on the vertical plate 6 for easy positioning. When the conveying belt 15 moves, it can drive the carrier to reflux. When it refluxes to the end of the forward component 1, similarly, through the previous action, the short rail 20 docks with the first slide rail 9, that is, returns to the forward component 1. At this time, by pushing the push cylinder 14, the carrier can be continuously circulated and refluxed, and reflux can be achieved without adjusting the direction of the carrier.

[0037] An elastic block 21 is provided on one side of the carrier plate 19, and the adjustable carrier 5 is pressed on the elastic block 21. The elastic block 21 is a structure of a spring and a guide column. This structure can ensure that the opposing plate 6 is supported each time the adjustable carrier 5 is in place, thereby improving stability.

[0038] A plurality of pressing cylinders 27 are provided along the first guide rail, and the output end of the pressing cylinder 27 presses the sliding plate 22. In this embodiment, the position of the pressing cylinder 27 can be set at the first and last positions of the forward component 1, and generally cylinder loading or cylinder unloading is required.

[0039] In order to ensure that the adjustable carrier 5 stops stably at each workstation, a plurality of limit assemblies are arranged along the first guide rail, and the limit assemblies include a column, and a limit cylinder 29 is arranged on the column. The output end of the limit cylinder 29 is connected to a second latch 30. When the carrier stops, the limit cylinder 29 extends out, and the second latch 30 is inserted into the limit hole on the back of the vertical plate 6. In addition, in order to prevent the adjustable carrier 5 from being forced to flow back on the first slide rail 9, a plurality of support frames 31 are arranged at the bottom of the first guide rail, and a fourth slide is arranged between adjacent support frames 31. Rail 32, a positioning assembly 33 is provided on the fourth slide rail 32 corresponding to each position of the adjustable carrier 5, the positioning assembly 33 includes a mounting block 36, and a protruding block 34 is connected to the mounting block 36 through a rotating pin, and an elastic member 35 is provided at the bottom of the protruding block 34 away from the rotating pin. When the adjustable carrier 5 moves forward, the positioning plate 10 of the adjustable carrier 5 will press the protruding block 34 to rotate slightly along the rotating pin. After completely passing the protruding block 34, the protruding block 34 pops up, and the protruding part prevents the adjustable carrier 5 from backflowing, and it is also more convenient for the limit assembly to be inserted and limited.

[0040] This embodiment can synchronously adjust all adjustable carriers 5 through the overall lifting assembly 12, which is more suitable for conveying cylinders with different material numbers during mass production, greatly improving work efficiency. In addition, in this embodiment, the elastic member 35 involved can all be a spring.
