[0003] At present, for the positioning needs of products in the turnover box, especially for irregular-shaped, multi-specification and need-to-be-protected articles, there are two positioning methods, the first one is to realize fixation by using customized positioning structure, the customized positioning structure is only suitable for products of specific shape and specification, and the production cost is high and affects the production turnover efficiency, therefore, most of them use general positioning structure to realize fixation, and the contact part of the general positioning structure contacts the product to limit the displacement of the product, but the position of the general positioning structure in the turnover box is fixed, and the contact part cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the shape of the product, and cannot realize the contact of the product from the side, and thus cannot realize the accurate positioning of the product, and the displacement of the product in the turnover box will cause the mechanical arm to be unable to accurately identify and grasp the product.
[0004] Therefore, a positionable turnover box is needed to solve the problem that the contact part of the general positioning structure cannot flexibly adjust the position according to the shape of the product and cannot realize the contact of the product from the side. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to flexibly adjust the position of the contact part of the positioning structure according to the shape of the product and realize the contact of the product from the side, the present application provides a positionable turnover box.
[0006] The positionable turnover box provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme: A positionable turnover box, comprising a box body, the box body is hollow inside and is provided with an opening for material to enter or exit the box body, a positioning mechanism is installed in the box body, the positioning mechanism can be elastically contracted into the bottom of the box body after the material is pressed down, the positioning mechanism comprises a first positioning assembly, a second positioning member and a driving assembly, the first positioning assembly is elastically and slidably installed on the bottom of the box body along the height direction of the box body, and the first positioning assembly contacts the side of the material to position the material; the second positioning member is slidably installed on the first positioning assembly, and the second positioning member moves along the direction of approaching or moving away from the material; the driving assembly is used to drive the second positioning member to move along the direction of approaching or moving away from the material to contact or separate from the material.
[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the material is put into the box and pressed down, the positioning mechanism located below the material elastically contracts to the bottom of the box, the first positioning component elastically slides along the height direction of the box, and the material is preliminarily positioned by abutting against the peripheral side of the material. If the first positioning member does not abut against the material, the second positioning member can move in the direction close to the material under the action of the driving assembly, further abut against the material to complete accurate positioning. Through the combination of preliminary positioning and accurate positioning, the material in the box can be effectively positioned to prevent the material from shaking or colliding in the turnover process. The positioning mechanism can be retracted to the bottom of the box with the material, which does not affect the placement and removal of the material, and the practicability of the turnover box is improved.

One end of the elastic member is connected with the box, and the other end is connected with the first positioning member. The elastic member is used for resetting the first positioning member after the material is separated from the pressing.
[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, the first positioning member realizes sliding cooperation through the mounting hole in the bottom of the box. The elastic member connects the box and the first positioning member. When the material presses the first positioning member, the elastic member contracts. After the material is removed, the elastic force of the elastic member resets the first positioning member. At the same time, the elastic sliding structure can buffer the impact force when the material is placed, and protect the material and the positioning mechanism itself.
[0012] Optionally, the first positioning member is provided with a guide groove for guiding the second positioning member to move in the direction close to or away from the material.

[0016] Optionally, the first positioning member comprises a anti-disengagement part arranged at one end of the first positioning member close to the elastic member, and the anti-disengagement part abuts against the bottom of the box to limit the first positioning member from disengaging from the bottom of the box.
[0017] By adopting the technical scheme, when the first positioning member is reset upward under the action of the elastic member, the anti-disengagement part abuts against the bottom of the box, preventing the first positioning member from disengaging from the mounting hole, and effectively preventing the first positioning member from disengaging from the box during the resetting process.
[0018] Optionally, the box is provided with a containing groove accommodating the second positioning member, and the second positioning member moves downward and is accommodated into the containing groove after the material is pressed downward.
[0019] By adopting the technical scheme, when the material presses the first positioning assembly, the second positioning member moves downward and is accommodated into the containing groove, avoiding the second positioning member from protruding to affect the placement of the material, and protecting the second positioning member from being damaged by collision.
[0020] Optionally, the second positioning member comprises an abutting part abutting against the material, and the abutting part is detachably connected with the second positioning member to adapt to the shape of the material.
[0021] By adopting the technical scheme, the abutting part and the second positioning member are detachably connected, and the corresponding abutting part can be replaced according to the different shapes of the material, so that the turnover box can adapt to various shapes of the material, and the fitting degree and stability of positioning are improved.
