Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic processing, and specifically relates to an efficient automatic return line for mouse production. Background Art

[0002] In the automatic processing of mice, the return line is a common transmission method, and usually belts or double-speed chains are used to convey products. However, traditional belt or double-speed chain return lines have many problems: they are large in volume, high in cost, and poor in versatility. In addition, due to the characteristics of belts or double-speed chains, it is usually difficult to process at each station simultaneously, resulting in low overall efficiency.

[0003] In view of the above problems, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN109516116B discloses a tooling return line and an automatic production line. The tooling return line of this patent includes tooling fixtures, a return track, a bracket, and a driving device. Specifically, the number of tooling fixtures is large and used for positioning products; multiple tooling fixtures are arranged in a row on the return track; the return track is installed on the bracket; the driving device is used to push the tooling fixtures to move cyclically along the return track. During operation, when the tooling fixtures move, the products move synchronously with the tooling fixtures. The characteristic of this patent design is that: the return track is in a static state, while the driving device pushes the tooling fixtures to circulate. During the pushing process, adjacent tooling fixtures move along the return track in a way of transmitting the push. This design significantly reduces the volume of the return track, has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. Since adjacent tooling fixtures flow in a way of transmitting the push, the flow time of products can be significantly shortened during the processing, so that the processing devices at each station do not need to wait, thereby realizing the simultaneous processing of products and greatly improving the production efficiency.

[0004] However, this patent has defects. When the number of toolings on one side of the track is large, the equipment has high load requirements for the driving device and needs to meet the demand for a large load, which will increase the production cost. In addition, since automatic processing equipment is involved on both sides of the return line, the accuracy requirements for the position of the tooling are high. When the driving device pushes the tooling, its track is horizontally arranged, so that when adjacent toolings collide during the pushing, they may not fit tightly due to rebound, resulting in difficulties for the processing equipment to grab the tooling and affecting the processing accuracy and efficiency.

[0005] In summary, although the above patent effectively reduces the cost and improves the efficiency by optimizing the track and driving method, its performance in high-load conditions and high-precision application scenarios still has room for further optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the above problems, an efficient automated return line for mouse production is provided. By setting the top surface of the first track to be inclined from high to low along its transmission direction, the tooling is driven by the first track and at the same time affected by gravity. The effect of gravity can reduce the driving dependence of the tooling on the driving device when it is being driven. Compared with the prior art, the requirement for the power of the driving device is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption during equipment operation and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the return line. At the same time, the inclined setting ensures that when the first track stops driving, two adjacent toolings can be closely fitted to each other, reducing the probability of rebound after collision during the sliding process of the tooling and ensuring the position accuracy of the tooling.

When the electromagnet is energized, the positioning pins are magnetically connected to the electromagnet.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting track includes a base and two mounting plates. The base is located at the end of the first track. The two mounting plates are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the base. First sliding rails are provided on the opposite sides of the two mounting plates. A lifting plate is slidably arranged between the two mounting plates along the first sliding rails. First pulleys matching the sliding rails are provided on both sides of the lifting plate.

[0011] Preferably, a first driving assembly for driving the lifting plate to move is provided on the base. The first driving assembly includes a first lead screw, a first rotary driving motor, a slider, and a connecting rod. An installation rod extending in the vertical direction is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate. The first lead screw is horizontally and rotatably arranged on the base. The first rotary driving motor is fixedly connected to the base and is located at one end of the first lead screw. The first lead screw is in transmission connection with the first rotary driving motor. A first slide bar extending along the axial direction of the first lead screw is provided on the base. The slider is slidably arranged on the first slide bar. The slider is sleeved on the first lead screw and is in threaded cooperation with it. The connecting rod is a telescopic structure. The connecting rod is vertically fixedly connected to the slider. The top of the connecting rod is hinged to the bottom of the installation rod.

[0012] Preferably, a first chute extending along the length direction thereof is provided at the bottom of the tooling. A second slide bar matching the first chute is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate. The extending direction of the second slide bar is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the lifting plate, and the cross-sections at both ends of the second slide bar are both conical structures.

[0013] Preferably, the first track includes a first support plate and two second support plates. The two second support plates are horizontally connected to the opposite sides of the two lifting tracks respectively. Both ends of the first support plate are hinged to the two first support plates respectively.

[0014] Preferably, one end of the second support plate close to the lifting track is hinged to the lifting track. Second lead screws extending in the vertical direction are provided on the opposite sides of the two lifting tracks. Driving blocks in threaded cooperation with the second lead screws are provided. The driving blocks can slide in the vertical direction. A support rod is provided between the driving block and the bottom of the second support plate.

[0015] Preferably, second slide rails are provided on both sides of the first support plate and the second support plate. Second pulleys matching the second slide rails are provided on both sides of the tooling. Baffles are provided on the opposite sides of the two first tracks away from each other.

[0016] Preferably, a second driving assembly for driving the tooling on the first track to move is provided on the lifting track. The second driving assembly includes a push plate slidable along the transportation direction of the first track and a linear driver for driving the push plate. An avoidance groove matching the push plate is provided on the lifting track.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are: 1. In the present invention, the top surface of the first track is inclined from high to low along its transmission direction, so that while the tooling is driven by the first track, it is also affected by gravity. The action of gravity can reduce the driving dependence of the tooling on the driving device when it is being driven. Compared with the prior art, the inclined design significantly reduces the power requirement for the driving device, thereby reducing the energy consumption during equipment operation and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the return line. On the other hand, since the lifting track only undertakes the connection function, its length is short and the transportation distance is limited, so that the load demand of the lifting track for the driving device remains within a small range and will not have a significant impact on the overall load requirement of the return line. At the same time, the setting of the inclined first track not only reduces the probability of rebound after the tooling collides during the sliding process, but also ensures that when the first track stops driving, two adjacent toolings can be closely attached to each other, facilitating transmission and ensuring the position accuracy of the tooling after movement. Higher transmission accuracy enables the automated equipment on both sides of the return line to perform more efficient and accurate operations on the tooling, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0018] 2. In the present invention, buffer sections are arranged on both sides of the first track, and the buffer sections are set as horizontal planes, which can effectively slow down the sliding speed of the tooling on the inclined section of the first track, so that the tooling gradually decelerates until it stops when it reaches the end of the first track, thereby avoiding the tooling from colliding or overturning due to high-speed sliding directly into the lifting track. Through the setting of the buffer sections, the tooling can stay briefly or move at a low speed before entering the lifting track, providing sufficient time for the subsequent docking of the tooling with the lifting track and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the transmission process.

[0019] 3. In the present invention, the tooling can be fixed by the jacking insertion of the positioning pin into the installation hole of the tooling. Through this structure, the tooling can be stably fixed on the buffer section, ensuring its accurate position during subsequent processing or transmission, and providing a reliable premise for the operation of the automated equipment. The combination of the magnetic material of the positioning pin and the electromagnet can also be used in conjunction with sensors and automated control equipment to realize the real-time monitoring and feedback control of the position of the tooling, further improving the intelligence and automation level of the return line.

[0035] To further understand the features, technical means, specific purposes, and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown: An efficient automated return line for mouse production includes two first tracks 1, two lifting tracks 2, and multiple toolings 3; the two first tracks 1 are arranged in parallel, and the transmission directions of the two first tracks 1 are opposite, and the top surfaces of the two first tracks 1 are inclined from high to low along the transmission direction; the two lifting tracks 2 are respectively arranged at both ends of the two first tracks 1, and both ends of the lifting track 2 are docked with the ends of the two first tracks 1. The transmission direction of the lifting track 2 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the first track 1, and the transmission directions of the two lifting tracks 2 are opposite; multiple toolings 3 are arranged on the two first tracks 1, and the tooling 3 is transported to the lifting track 2 through the first track 1, and the tooling 3 is transported to another first track 1 through the lifting track 2 to realize the return transportation of the tooling 3.

[0037] Multiple toolings 3 are respectively located on the top surfaces of the two first tracks 1, and the two first tracks 1 drive the multiple toolings 3 for transportation. Since the top surface of the first track 1 is inclined from high to low, the tooling 3 is driven by the first track 1 and at the same time is affected by gravity. Through the action of gravity, the driving dependence of the tooling 3 on the driving device during driving can be reduced, the power requirement for the drive assembly is reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption and operating cost of the equipment.

[0038] It should be noted that the first track 1, as the main transportation track of the tooling 3, undertakes the vast majority of the transmission tasks of the tooling 3 in the return line. The main function of the lifting track 2 is to connect the ends of the two first tracks 1, so as to complete the circular transportation of the tooling 3 between the first tracks 1. Since the first track 1 is the main body of the return line, its length design is significantly longer than that of the lifting track 2, and it has a greater transportation capacity for the tooling 3. Through the inclined setting of the first track 1, the tooling 3 can be assisted to slide under the action of gravity, effectively reducing the load demand of the driving device for transporting the tooling 3 in the traditional horizontal track. Compared with the prior art, the inclined design significantly reduces the requirement for the power of the driving device, thereby reducing the energy consumption during the operation of the equipment and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the return line. On the other hand, since the lifting track 2 only undertakes the connection function, its length is short and the transportation distance is limited, so that the load demand of the lifting track 2 for the driving device remains within a small range and will not have a significant impact on the overall load requirement of the return line.

[0039] After the tooling 3 moves to the end of the first track 1, the tooling 3 can enter the lifting track 2 connected to the end of the first track 1. Since the transmission direction of the lifting track 2 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the first track 1, the tooling 3 is guided by the lifting track 2 and is transmitted from the low end of one first track 1 to the high end of the other first track 1, thus completing the switching of the direction and height of the tooling 3. By setting the transmission directions of the two first tracks 1 to be opposite, it is ensured that the tooling 3 can complete continuous cyclic return transmission and achieve an efficient automated production process.

[0040] The combination of the inclined first track 1 and the lifting track 2 simplifies the structure of the production line and avoids the need for complex horizontal transmission equipment. Through the continuous cooperation of the first track 1 and the lifting track 2, the tooling 3 forms an efficient closed-loop return transmission, reducing additional mechanical components and improving the reliability of the equipment.

[0041] The setting of the inclined first track 1 not only reduces the probability of rebound after the tooling 3 collides during the sliding process, but also ensures that when the first track 1 stops driving, the two adjacent toolings 3 can be closely attached to each other, which is convenient for transmission and ensures the position accuracy of the tooling 3 after movement. The higher transmission accuracy enables the automated equipment on both sides of the return line to perform more efficient and accurate operations on the tooling 3, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown: Buffer sections 11 extending in the horizontal direction are provided at both ends of the first track 1, and the two buffer sections 11 are both parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0043] By setting the buffer section 11 to a horizontal plane, the sliding speed of the tooling 3 on the inclined section of the first track 1 can be effectively reduced, enabling the tooling 3 to gradually decelerate until it stops when reaching the end of the first track 1, thereby preventing the tooling 3 from colliding or overturning due to high-speed sliding directly into the lifting track 2. Through the setting of the buffer section 11, the tooling 3 can stay briefly or move at a low speed before entering the lifting track 2, providing sufficient time for the subsequent docking of the tooling 3 with the lifting track 2 and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the transmission process.

[0044] The existence of the buffer section 11 can effectively disperse the kinetic energy brought by the sliding of the tooling 3, preventing the lifting track 2 from directly bearing the impact generated by the high-speed sliding of the tooling 3, thereby reducing equipment wear and extending the service life of the lifting track 2. Through the transition of the buffer section 11, the connection between the tooling 3 among the tracks is made smoother, avoiding the tooling 3 from falling, overturning or getting stuck in operation due to poor transition at the end of the first track 1, and thus improving the operation reliability of the entire return line.

[0045] The horizontal buffer section 11 can be used as an area for detecting or adjusting the state of the tooling 3, providing a more stable state of the tooling 3 for the intervention of sensors, positioning devices or other automated operation equipment, thereby improving the efficiency of automated operations.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 10 、 Figures 12 to 14 shown: Positioning pins 112 capable of sliding in the vertical direction are provided on both buffer sections 11. Positioning holes 31 matching the positioning pins 112 are provided at the bottom of the tooling 3. Installation grooves 111 are provided at the bottom of the buffer section 11. The positioning pins 112 are slidably arranged in the installation grooves 111. Elastic members 1121 are provided at one end of the positioning pins 112 close to the installation grooves 111. Both ends of the elastic members 1121 are fixedly connected to the positioning pins 112 and the installation grooves 111 respectively. The positioning pins 112 are made of magnetic materials. Electromagnets 1111 are provided at the bottom of the installation grooves 111. When the electromagnets 1111 are energized, the positioning pins 112 are magnetically connected to the electromagnets 1111.

[0047] The positioning pins 112 can be magnetically adsorbed to the electromagnets 1111 when the electromagnets 1111 are energized. Thus, the tooling 3 located on the buffer section 11 can be controlled by the telescoping of the positioning pins 112. Fixing of the tooling 3 can be achieved by the jacking of the positioning pins 112 and their insertion into the installation holes of the tooling 3. With this structure, the tooling 3 can be stably fixed on the buffer section 11, ensuring its accurate position in subsequent processing or transmission and providing a reliable premise for the operation of automated equipment.

[0048] The combination of the positioning pin 112 and the elastic member 1121 enables part of the impact force to be absorbed when the tooling 3 contacts the positioning pin 112, avoiding impact damage caused by the high-speed sliding of the tooling 3, and improving the durability of the equipment and the protection of the tooling 3.

[0049] After the electromagnet 1111 is powered on and off, the positioning pin 112 can quickly adjust its state, realizing the rapid release of the tooling 3, achieving an efficient locking and transmission switching process, reducing the waiting time, and improving the operating efficiency of the return line. The positioning pin 112 is slidably arranged in the installation groove 111, with a compact overall structure, which is relatively convenient for installation and maintenance, reducing the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment. The adsorption force of the electromagnet 1111 can be controlled by adjusting the current intensity to ensure that the fixing force of the positioning pin 112 is appropriate, which can not only firmly fix the tooling 3 but also ensure the smoothness during release, improving the stability and reliability of the return line. Figure 14 It is an exploded view of the positioning pin 112, only for illustrative effect. The positioning pin 112 is actually located in the installation groove 111.

[0050] The combination of the magnetic material of the positioning pin 112 and the electromagnet 1111 can also be used in conjunction with sensors and automation control equipment to realize real-time monitoring and feedback control of the position of the tooling 3, further improving the intelligence and automation level of the return line.

[0051] As Figures 4 to 11 shown: The lifting track 2 includes a base 21 and two mounting plates 211. The base 21 is located at the end of the first track 1. The two mounting plates 211 are respectively located on both sides of the base 21 in the width direction. First sliding rails 2111 are provided on the opposite sides of the two mounting plates 211. The lifting plate 212 is slidably arranged between the two mounting plates 211 along the first sliding rails 2111. First pulleys 2121 that match the sliding rails are provided on both sides of the lifting plate 212.

[0052] After the tooling 3 is transported by the first track 1 to the lifting track 2, the tooling 3 will fall on the lifting plate 212, and the lifting plate 212 drives the tooling 3 to move between the two first tracks 1. The two mounting plates 211 are located on both sides of the base 21 in the width direction, and first sliding rails 2111 are provided on their opposite sides, thus ensuring that the sliding process of the lifting plate 212 is well-guided and supported, effectively improving the stability of the tooling 3 during the lifting process and avoiding transmission errors caused by shaking or deviation. First pulleys 2121 that match the first sliding rails 2111 are provided on both sides of the lifting plate 212, enabling the lifting plate 212 to slide smoothly along the first sliding rails 2111. The cooperation of the first pulleys 2121 and the first sliding rails 2111 reduces the sliding friction resistance, ensures the smoothness of the lifting process, improves the transmission efficiency, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0053] It should be noted that two first pulleys 2121 are provided on each side of the lifting plate 212. The two first pulleys 2121 make the support of the lifting plate 212 on the first slide rail 2111 more stable. The reasonable layout of the two first pulleys 2121 not only enhances the balance of the lifting plate 212, but also better bears the weight of the tooling 3, so as to provide continuous and uniform supporting force for the tooling 3 during the lifting or lowering process, and avoid tilting or shaking caused by a single first pulley 2121. The first slide rail 2111 is an S-shaped structure, and the heights of its two ends respectively match the high point and the low point of the first track 1. This enables the lifting track 2 to seamlessly connect with the two inclined first tracks 1, and realizes the smooth transition of the tooling 3 through the gradual change of height. The S-shaped structure can not only meet the height switching requirements of the tooling 3, but also provide a natural buffer transition in form, thereby reducing the impact and jitter of the tooling 3 during the transition process, and further improving the transmission smoothness of the return line.

[0054] In addition, the curve design of the S-shaped slide rail makes the lifting track 2 have higher adaptability and flexibility, and can adapt to the connection requirements between different transmission tracks. In actual operation, this design can effectively avoid derailment or jamming of the tooling 3 caused by speed change or position deviation during the height switching process. Combining the support of the double pulleys and the optimized design of the S-shaped slide rail not only ensures the stable transmission of the tooling 3, but also provides technical guarantee for the long-term reliable operation of the return line.

[0055] A stable support structure is formed through the base 21 and the two mounting plates 211. The degree of modularization of the components is high, which is convenient for assembly and replacement. When maintenance or component replacement is required, only a single module needs to be operated, thereby reducing the maintenance time and cost and improving the operation reliability of the equipment.

[0056] Such as Figures 4 to 11As shown in the figure: A first driving component 213 for driving the lifting plate 212 to move is provided on the base 21. The first driving component 213 includes a first lead screw 2131, a first rotary driving motor 2132, a slider 2133, and a connecting rod 2134. An installation rod 2122 extending in the vertical direction is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate 212. The first lead screw 2131 is horizontally arranged and rotatably provided on the base 21. The first rotary driving motor 2132 is fixedly connected to the base 21, and the first rotary driving motor 2132 is located at one end of the first lead screw 2131. The first lead screw 2131 is in transmission connection with the first rotary driving motor 2132. A first slide bar 214 extending along the axis direction of the first lead screw 2131 is provided on the base 21. The slider 2133 is slidably provided on the first slide bar 214. The slider 2133 is sleeved on the first lead screw 2131 and is in threaded cooperation with it. The connecting rod 2134 is a telescopic structure. The connecting rod 2134 is vertically fixedly connected to the slider 2133. The top of the connecting rod 2134 is hinged to the bottom of the installation rod 2122.

[0057] By starting the first rotary driving motor 2132, the output shaft of the first rotary driving motor 2132 drives the rotation of the first lead screw 2131 in transmission connection with it. The rotation of the first lead screw 2131 drives the movement of the slider 2133 in threaded cooperation with it, so that the slider 2133 slides along the first slide bar 214. In the above way, the rotary motion of the first rotary driving motor 2132 can be converted into the linear motion of the slider 2133, making the movement of the lifting plate 212 on the first slide rail 2111 more stable and accurate. The threaded transmission of the first lead screw 2131 has a relatively high transmission ratio and can provide sufficient driving force at a lower power, thus ensuring that the up and down movement of the lifting plate 212 always remains controllable and meeting the lifting requirements of the tooling 3.

[0058] Through the guiding of the first slide bar 214, the slider 2133 always maintains a stable linear motion during the transmission process, avoiding the problem of unstable operation caused by offset or looseness during the transmission.

[0059] Through the telescopic structure of the connecting rod 2134 and the hinged connection between the connecting rod 2134 and the installation rod 2122, the transmission stroke can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that the lifting plate 212 always maintains the transmission with the slider 2133 during the lifting process, improving the flexibility of the transmission, thus easily matching the S-shaped structure of the first slide rail 2111. At the same time, when the lifting plate 212 is impacted by an external force, it plays a certain buffering and shock-absorbing role, protecting the first driving component 213 and the lifting plate 212 from accidental damage.

[0060] Such as Figures 8 to 10As shown in the figure: A first chute 32 extending along the length direction is provided at the bottom of the tooling 3, and a second sliding bar 2123 matching the first chute 32 is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate 212. The extending direction of the second sliding bar 2123 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the lifting plate 212, and the cross-sections at both ends of the second sliding bar 2123 are both conical structures.

[0061] Through the cooperation of the first chute 32 and the second sliding bar 2123, and the extending direction of the second sliding bar 2123 being perpendicular to the transmission direction of the lifting plate 212, the lateral and longitudinal displacements of the tooling 3 on the lifting plate 212 can be effectively restricted, ensuring that the tooling 3 always maintains a stable posture during the movement. Especially the conical structures at both ends of the second sliding bar 2123 enable the first chute 32 at the bottom of the tooling 3 to slide onto the lifting plate 212, allowing the tooling 3 to be naturally aligned and guiding the tooling 3 into the correct position, improving the positioning accuracy without the need for additional position adjustment, thus significantly simplifying the docking process between the tooling 3 and the lifting track 2, reducing the possibility of the tooling 3 getting stuck or shaking in the chute, and enhancing the operation efficiency. At the same time, it is also more convenient when replacing or maintaining the tooling 3. While improving the sliding smoothness of the tooling 3, it reduces the wear caused by friction or collision, extending the service life of the tooling 3 and the lifting plate 212.

[0062] The structures of the first chute 32 and the second sliding bar 2123 are relatively simple, and the manufacturing cost is low. The conical-section sliding bar is easy to achieve through standard machining, ensuring high consistency and low cost during mass production.

[0063] As Figures 1 to 3 、 Figures 12 to 14 shown in the figure: The first track 1 includes a first support plate 12 and two second support plates 113. The two second support plates 113 are in a horizontal state and are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two lifting tracks 2. Both ends of the first support plate 12 are respectively hinged to the two first support plates 12.

[0064] The first support plate 12 constitutes the inclined top surface of the first track 1, and the two second support plates 113 are located at both ends of the first support plate 12, forming a buffer section 11 of the first track 1.

[0065] The hinged structure between the first support plate 12 and the second support plate 113 enables the first track 1 as a whole to have a certain flexible adjustment ability, capable of finely adjusting the angle and position according to specific requirements, thereby optimizing the transmission path of the tooling 3, improving the transmission accuracy and the reliability of the system operation; and the structure is simple. Both the first support plate 12 and the second support plate 113 are common flat plate structures, with low manufacturing and installation costs and easy to maintain. The hinge points facilitate the quick disassembly and replacement of the first track 1, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0066] As Figures 1 to 3 、 Figures 12 to 14As shown: One end of the second support plate 113 close to the lifting track 2 is hinged to the lifting track 2. Second lead screws 22 that can extend in the vertical direction are arranged on opposite sides of the two lifting tracks 2. Driving blocks 221 that are in threaded cooperation with the second lead screws 22 are arranged on the second lead screws 22. The driving blocks 221 can slide in the vertical direction. A support rod 1131 is arranged between the driving blocks 221 and the bottom of the second support plate 113. Two ends of the support rod 1131 are respectively hinged to the driving blocks 221 and the bottom of the second support plate 113.

[0067] By hinging one end of the second support plate 113 to the lifting track 2 and combining with the second lead screws 22 and driving blocks 221 arranged in the vertical direction, the angle of the second support plate 113 can be flexibly adjusted. The above method allows the first track 1 to optimize the inclination angle under different sizes or weights of the tooling 3, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment. Two ends of the support rod 1131 are respectively hinged to the driving blocks 221 and the bottom of the second support plate 113, enabling the support rod 1131 and the second support plate 113 to form a stable support structure, which can effectively disperse the load on the second support plate 113 and avoid tilting instability or structural deformation caused by excessive weight of the tooling 3.

[0068] The driving block 221 slides in the vertical direction through the threaded cooperation with the second lead screw 22, and precise adjustment of the height of the second support plate 113 can be achieved. This precise adjustment ability helps to optimize the sliding track of the tooling 3 on the first track 1 and improve the efficiency and reliability of the tooling 3 transmission. Through the flexible connection of the support rod 1131, part of the vibration generated during the transmission of the tooling 3 can be effectively absorbed, reducing the impact on the track and the tooling 3, improving the transmission accuracy of the entire return line, and being particularly suitable for automated production scenarios with high requirements for transmission smoothness.

[0069] As Figures 1 to 3 、 Figures 12 to 14 As shown: Second slide rails 13 are arranged on both sides of the first support plate 12 and the second support plate 113. Second pulleys 33 that are mutually matched with the second slide rails 13 are arranged on both sides of the tooling 3. Baffles 14 are arranged on one side of the two first tracks 1 that are far away from each other. A rectangular enclosure 15 is arranged between the two first tracks 1.

[0070] By the mutual matching of the second slide rails 13 arranged on both sides of the first support plate 12 and the second support plate 113 and the second pulleys 33 on both sides of the tooling 3, the tooling 3 is well guided and supported when sliding on the track, reducing lateral sway and instability during the sliding process of the tooling 3, thereby improving the transmission smoothness and operation efficiency. The second slide rails 13 provide a clear sliding path for the tooling 3, effectively preventing the tooling 3 from deviating from the track due to gravity or external forces, ensuring that the tooling 3 always runs along the transmission path, and improving the reliability of the return line.

[0071] Through the settings of the baffle 14 and the rectangular enclosure 15, physical block can be provided when the tooling 3 slides to the edge of the track, preventing the tooling 3 from accidentally sliding out of the track, reducing the risk of damage to the tooling 3, and at the same time ensuring the safety of the return line.

[0072] As Figures 1 to 4 shown: On the lifting track 2, a second driving component 23 for driving the tooling 3 on the first track 1 to move is provided. The second driving component 23 includes a push plate 231 that can slide along the transportation direction of the first track 1 and a linear driver 232 for driving the push plate 231. An avoidance groove 24 that matches the push plate 231 is provided on the lifting track 2.

[0073] Through the cooperation of the push plate 231 and the linear driver 232, the second driving component 23 can accurately drive the tooling 3 on the first track 1 to slide along the transportation direction, ensuring the efficient transmission of the tooling 3 on the return line and optimizing the efficiency of the entire transmission process.

[0074] The avoidance groove 24 on the lifting track 2 matches the push plate 231, preventing interference between the push plate 231 and the tooling 3 on the lifting track 2 during the operation of the lifting track 2, ensuring the smooth movement of the push plate 231 and the unobstructed operation of the tooling 3 on the lifting track 2, and improving the reliability of the return line.

[0075] The linear driver 232 is preferably a cylinder, which can provide a controllable linear motion to achieve precise control of the movement of the push plate 231, thereby ensuring the position accuracy of the tooling 3 on the first track 1. This precise positioning provides a reliable guarantee for the automated operation in subsequent production processes.

[0076] The above embodiments only represent one or several implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
