Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pads, and in particular to a special light pad for an assembly line. Background Art
[0002] Most traditional assembly line pads are made of metal or wood, with steel being the most common. This type of pad does have a commendable performance in terms of strength and stability. However, the high density of metal has become its unavoidable shortcoming, which directly leads to the high weight of the pad itself.
[0003] In the daily operation of the manual assembly line, the frequent and regular handling of the pads is like a heavy test for every hard-working operator. The overweight pads are like a huge rock pressing on their shoulders, ruthlessly consuming their physical strength and energy, making the originally efficient and orderly work rhythm slow and procrastinating, and the work efficiency is greatly affected.
[0004] Take the specific scenario of battery pallet transportation as an example. The battery pallet itself has a certain weight, usually about 20KG. In this case, if the pallet is still too heavy, the entire transportation process will be like a difficult "marathon". Operators need to make several times the effort to complete the transportation task that should have been easy. This not only greatly increases the labor intensity of operators, but is also likely to cause damage to items due to uneven force or collision during transportation, which in turn affects the normal progress of the entire production process and brings immeasurable losses to the company.
[0005] This will cause the following problems in actual operation:
[0006] The many shortcomings of existing assembly line pads in terms of weight, ease of handling, adaptability, etc. have become an important bottleneck restricting the improvement of industrial production efficiency and enterprise development. An innovative solution is urgently needed to break this dilemma. Summary of the invention
[0007] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the inventors conducted in-depth research and completed the present invention after paying a lot of creative work.
[0008] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a lightweight pad specially designed for assembly lines to solve the technical problems that the current traditional pads are heavy, the labor intensity in handling is high, the handling efficiency is low, the traditional pads cannot adapt to the placement of products of different regular shapes, the traditional pads have low bearing strength, are prone to deformation, and the pad material cost is high.
[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0010] A special lightweight backing plate for an assembly line, including a backing plate. A hollow groove is provided at the top of the backing plate. A reinforcing member is fixedly installed at the bottom of the backing plate through a fixing mechanism. A moving groove is provided on the outer surface of the backing plate. A silicone anti-slip strip is fixedly installed at the top of the backing plate. A silicone buffer strip is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the backing plate;
[0011] The fixing mechanism includes a support frame. The top of the support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the backing plate. A threaded groove is provided at the bottom of the support frame.
[0012] As an improved technical solution, the fixing mechanism further includes a clamping groove. The clamping groove is provided at the top of the reinforcing member. The inner surface of the clamping groove is clamped with the outer surface of the support frame.
[0013] As an improved technical solution, the fixing mechanism further includes a self-tapping screw. The top end of the self-tapping screw sequentially penetrates through the reinforcing member and the support frame and extends into the interior of the support frame. The outer surface of the self-tapping screw is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded groove.
[0014] As an improved technical solution, the shape of the backing plate is a cuboid, and its dimensions are 1000mm×800mm×50mm.
[0015] As an improved technical solution, the hollow groove is square, and its distribution on the backing plate is 20×36.
[0016] After adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0017] 1. By increasing the design of reducing the weight of the backing plate while increasing its strength, through the combined use of the backing plate, the hollow groove, the clamping groove and the reinforcing member, and the combined use of the reinforcing member, the backing plate and the self-tapping screw, the overall weight of the backing plate can be reduced by at least 50% compared with the traditional all-metal backing plate. The lightweight backing plate of the present invention makes it easier and more convenient for operators to carry during the handling process, significantly reducing the labor intensity. At the same time, due to the significant reduction in weight, operators can carry the backing plate more quickly, thus shortening the transfer time of items on the assembly line and improving the overall production efficiency. The backing plate uses a self-tapping screw locking connection method to connect the plastic backing plate and the bent aluminum plate into one body, ensuring that the backing plate is not easily deformed or damaged when bearing heavy objects, reducing the risk of items falling or being damaged due to backing plate failures, and providing higher safety protection for operators and the production process.
[0018] 2. The design of the present invention to increase the adaptability of the backing plate and reduce costs. The optimized shape of the backing plate is a cuboid, with dimensions of 1000mm × 800mm × 50mm, which can adapt to the placement of products with different specifications and shapes, especially having a good match for common battery trays, etc. This enables the production line to process multiple products without frequently replacing the backing plate, improving the flexibility and versatility of production. On the one hand, the reduced weight lowers the material cost of the backing plate; on the other hand, the improved handling efficiency and reduced potential damage risk indirectly reduce the labor cost and maintenance cost of the enterprise. Due to the reduced energy consumption during the handling process and the improved production efficiency, the present invention helps to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution to a certain extent.

[0031] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 collectively shown, this embodiment provides a special lightweight backing plate for a production line. This special lightweight backing plate for a production line includes a backing plate 1. A hollow groove 2 is formed at the top of the backing plate 1. A reinforcing member 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the backing plate 1 through a fixing mechanism 3. A moving groove 5 is formed on the outer surface of the backing plate 1. A silicone anti-slip strip 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the backing plate 1. A silicone buffer strip 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the backing plate 1;
[0032] The fixing mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31. The top of the support frame 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the backing plate 1. A threaded groove 32 is formed at the bottom of the support frame 31.
[0033] In this embodiment, the backing plate 1 adopts advanced injection molding technology to ensure its dimensional accuracy and surface quality. The backing plate 1 can withstand a pressure of at least more than 1 ton when placed on the ground, while the reinforcing member 4 is processed by precise bending to ensure the accuracy of its shape and angle.
[0034] As shown Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 collectively show, the fixing mechanism 3 further includes a clamping groove 33, the clamping groove 33 is opened at the top of the reinforcing member 4, and the inner surface of the clamping groove 33 is clamped with the outer surface of the support frame 31.
[0035] As shown Figure 1 and Figure 4 collectively show, the fixing mechanism 3 further includes a self-tapping screw 34, the top end of the self-tapping screw 34 sequentially penetrates through the reinforcing member 4 and the support frame 31 and extends into the interior of the support frame 31, and the outer surface of the self-tapping screw 34 is threadedly connected with the inner surface of the thread groove 32.
[0036] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 4 plays a key role in enhancing the structural stability. The connection method between the reinforcing member 4 and the backing plate 1 through clamping and the self-tapping screw 34 is not only firm and reliable, but also can effectively disperse the force, so that the backing plate is not easily deformed or damaged when bearing heavy objects.
[0037] As shown Figure 1 , the shape of the backing plate 1 is a cuboid, and its dimensions are 1000mm×800mm×50mm.
[0038] In this embodiment, positioning the backing plate 1 as a cuboid can meet the placement requirements of items with different specifications and shapes. For example, for common battery trays, the length, width and height of the backing plate 1 are specially designed to perfectly match the size of the battery tray, realizing efficient and stable handling and transfer.
[0039] As shown Figure 1 collectively show, the hollow groove 2 is square, and its distribution on the backing plate 1 is 20×36.
[0040] In this embodiment, the plastic backing plate 1 adopts a carefully designed hollow structure, in which the hollow grooves 2 are evenly distributed on the backing plate 1. Through the reasonably distributed hollow areas, while minimizing the weight of the backing plate 1, the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the backing plate 1 can be ensured.
[0041] During use, according to the actual length of the assembly line, limit devices are installed on both sides of the starting station. The cushion plate 1 is laid flat on the conveying chain in sequence to ensure that its long side is vertically aligned with the conveying direction. The box to be processed is horizontally placed in the bearing area of the cushion plate 1. The workpiece is manually carried to the silica gel anti-slip strip 6 on the surface of the cushion plate 1 to ensure close contact and form a stable frictional restraint. When the workpiece moves to the packaging station with the cushion plate 1, the empty cushion plate 1 returns to the starting station in the reverse direction through the bottom conveying chain. During the conveying process, the silica gel buffer strip 7 on the side of the cushion plate 1 can effectively avoid hard collision with the equipment. The operator extracts the cushion plate 1 from the buffer area at the end of the assembly line. Since the cushion plate 1 is light in weight, it is directly carried to the station by hand to complete the cyclic operation process.
[0042] It should be understood that the use of these embodiments is only for illustrating the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, it should also be understood that after reading the technical content of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes, modifications and / or variations to the present invention, and all these equivalent forms also fall within the protection scope defined by the appended claims of this application.
