Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of picture frame processing technology, and in particular to a picture frame fixing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Photo frames can hold and protect paper photos, paintings, manuscripts, and other items. There are many types of photo frames, among which magnetic photo frames are widely used because they make it easier to put the items inside. A typical magnetic photo frame consists of an outer frame, a magnet, and a back panel that can be attracted by the magnet.

[0003] In existing technologies, when fixing a magnet in the mounting hole inside the outer frame, the magnet is mostly placed manually or using a feeding device to place it into the opening of the mounting hole, and then a pressure device is used to press the magnet so that it enters the inner side of the mounting hole and is fixed in the mounting hole by friction.

[0004] However, most existing frame fixing equipment for magnetic photo frames only has one processing station. Therefore, in actual processing, operators need to manually remove the already processed outer frame from the processing station before placing the next outer frame. This is inconvenient and the interval between two adjacent magnet fixing operations is also long, resulting in less than ideal photo frame processing efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a picture frame fixing machine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a picture frame fixing machine with two processing stations, so that when the previous outer frame and magnet are being fixed, the next outer frame and magnet can be placed simultaneously, thereby achieving synchronous feeding and unloading operations. This shortens the time interval between two adjacent magnet fixing operations, improving processing efficiency. In addition, gravity can be used to actively unload the outer frame, further saving manpower. This addresses the problem mentioned in the background art that most existing picture frame fixing devices for magnetic picture frames only have one processing station. Therefore, in actual processing, operators need to manually remove the already processed outer frame from the processing station before placing the next outer frame, which is inconvenient and results in a long interval between two adjacent magnet fixing operations, leading to less than ideal picture frame processing efficiency.

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: a picture frame fixing machine, comprising: A multi-station conveying mechanism includes a platform, a base fixedly installed at the bottom of the platform, an installation groove opened at the top of the platform, a falling channel opened vertically at the bottom of the inner side of the installation groove, a manual turntable rotatably installed inside the installation groove via a bearing, and two symmetrically arranged outer frame positioning channels opened vertically at the top of the manual turntable. A guiding stacking mechanism for guiding and stacking multiple falling outer frames; and A downward fixing mechanism is used to pressurize and fix the magnet to the inner side of the corresponding mounting hole on the inner side of the outer frame.

[0008] According to at least one embodiment of the picture frame fixing machine of the present disclosure, the guiding stacking mechanism includes a guide groove formed on the top of the base, a sliding seat located directly below the falling channel is slidably disposed inside the guide groove, and clearance grooves are formed on both sides of the sliding seat.

[0009] According to at least one embodiment of the picture frame fixing machine of the present disclosure, a protective soft pad is bonded to the center of the top of the sliding seat, and L-shaped limiting plates are fixedly provided at the four corners of the top of the sliding seat, with the tops of the four L-shaped limiting plates slidingly attached to the bottom of the platform.

[0010] According to at least one embodiment of the picture frame fixing machine of the present disclosure, the lowering fixing mechanism includes a fixing frame fixedly disposed on the top of the platform, guide holes are provided on both sides of the top of the fixing frame, and an electric push rod is fixedly disposed at the center of the top of the fixing frame.

[0011] According to at least one embodiment of the frame fixing machine of the present disclosure, a pressure block is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the output shaft of the electric push rod, and guide shafts that are slidably disposed in the vertical direction inside adjacent guide holes are fixedly provided on both sides of the top of the pressure block.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention features a multi-station conveying mechanism to position the outer frame to be processed within the positioning channel of an adjacent outer frame. Four magnets are then pre-positioned in the mounting holes at the four corners of the outer frame. A manual turntable is then slowly rotated counter-clockwise until the outer frame is rotated to a position directly below the pressure block. A lowering fixing mechanism then applies pressure to the four magnets, fixing them in place. During this process, another outer frame and magnets are placed into the positioning channel of an adjacent outer frame. After the previously placed outer frame and magnets are fixed, the manual turntable is rotated counter-clockwise again. During this process, the processed outer frame passes through a falling channel and falls into the guiding stacking mechanism for stacking. Compared to existing technologies, this invention has two processing stations, allowing the simultaneous placement of the next outer frame and magnets while the previous outer frame and magnets are being fixed, thus achieving synchronized feeding and unloading operations. This shortens the time interval between two adjacent magnet fixing operations, improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, gravity can be used for active unloading of the outer frame, further saving manpower. Attached Figure Description

[0018] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., as in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” other components or features would subsequently be positioned “above” said other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a picture frame fixing machine according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the multi-station conveying mechanism 1 and the guiding stacking mechanism 2 of a frame fixing machine according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the lowering and fixing mechanism 3 of a frame fixing machine according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the picture frame fixing machine disclosed herein may include components such as a multi-station conveying mechanism 1, a guiding stacking mechanism 2, and a downward fixing mechanism 3.

[0023] It also includes an outer frame, with mounting holes at the four corners of the inner side of the outer frame. The inner side of the top opening of the mounting hole is chamfered so that the magnet can be inserted into the mounting hole for pre-fixation. This prevents the magnet from coming out of the mounting hole when the manual turntable 15 drives the outer frame to rotate and move, thus affecting the normal progress of the subsequent pressure fixing process.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown in this disclosure, the multi-station conveying mechanism 1 includes a platform 11, a base 12 fixedly installed at the bottom of the platform 11, an installation groove 13 opened at the top of the platform 11, a falling channel 14 opened vertically at the bottom of the inner side of the installation groove 13, a manual turntable 15 rotatably installed inside the installation groove 13 via a bearing, and two symmetrically arranged outer frame positioning channels 16 opened vertically at the top of the manual turntable 15.

[0025] This allows the outer frame to be positioned inside the adjacent outer frame positioning channel 16. Then, four magnets are placed into the mounting holes at the four corners of the outer frame for pre-positioning. The manual turntable 15 is then slowly rotated counter-clockwise until the outer frame is rotated to directly below the pressure block 34. The lowering fixing mechanism 3 then applies pressure to the four magnets, fixing them in place. During this process, another outer frame and magnet are placed inside the adjacent outer frame positioning channel 16. After the previously placed outer frame and magnet are fixed, the manual turntable 15 is rotated counter-clockwise again. During this process, the finished outer frame passes through the falling channel 14 and falls into the inner side of the guiding stacking mechanism 2 for stacking. Compared to existing technologies, this method has two processing stations, allowing the next outer frame and magnet to be placed simultaneously while the previous outer frame and magnet are being fixed, thus achieving synchronous feeding and unloading operations. This shortens the time interval between two adjacent magnet fixing operations, improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, gravity can be used for active unloading of the outer frame, further saving manpower.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the guiding stacking mechanism 2 includes a guide groove 21 opened on the top of the base 12. A sliding seat 22 located directly below the falling channel 14 is slidably disposed inside the guide groove 21. Both sides of the sliding seat 22 are provided with clearance grooves 23. A protective soft pad 24 is glued to the center of the top of the sliding seat 22. L-shaped limiting plates 25 are fixedly disposed at the four corners of the top of the sliding seat 22. The tops of the four L-shaped limiting plates 25 are slidably attached to the bottom of the platform 11.

[0027] Therefore, when the processed outer frame falls, the four L-shaped limiting plates 25 limit the four corners of the outer frame until the outer frame falls on the top of the protective pad 24. After the multiple outer frames are stacked, the sliding seat 22 slides outward along the guide groove 21, and then the hands are placed inside the two clearance grooves 23 respectively, and then the multiple stacked outer frames are taken out from the bottom of the bottom outer frame.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown in this disclosure, the downward fixing mechanism 3 includes a fixing frame 31 fixedly installed on the top of the platform 11. Guide holes 32 are provided on both sides of the top of the fixing frame 31. An electric push rod 33 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the fixing frame 31. A pressure block 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the output shaft of the electric push rod 33. Guide shafts 35 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the pressure block 34 and are slidably installed in the inner side of the adjacent guide holes 32 in the vertical direction.

[0029] Therefore, when the outer frame moves below the pressure block 34, the electric push rod 33 drives the pressure block 34 to move continuously downward. During the downward movement of the pressure block 34, the guide shaft 35 descends vertically inside the guide hole 32, thereby guiding the pressure block 34. As the pressure block 34 moves downward, it presses on the top of the four magnets and then pushes the magnets, pressing them into the inner side of the adjacent mounting holes. At this time, the magnets are fixed in the inner side of the adjacent mounting holes by friction. Then, the electric push rod 33 drives the pressure block 34 to move upward and reset.

[0030] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
