Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling technology, and in particular to a support fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial manufacturing, equipment maintenance, and precision assembly, cranes, forklifts, and other handling equipment are typically used to assist in the installation or dismantling of heavy equipment. However, in actual engineering applications, there are often confined spaces that are difficult for conventional handling equipment to access.

[0003] Taking the semiconductor manufacturing field as an example, the vacuum molecular pump is a key component of the vapor deposition equipment. Its installation position is usually located below or to the side of the process chamber. This installation position is usually surrounded by cooling circulation pipelines, high-density electrical cables or other equipment. Conventional handling equipment such as cranes and forklifts are difficult to access, or if they are accessed, it is difficult to adjust the attitude of the vacuum molecular pump according to the installation requirements.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve support and attitude adjustment for heavy equipment in confined spaces has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application discloses a support fixture for solving the installation problem of heavy equipment in confined spaces.

[0006] This application provides a support fixture, including a fixed seat and a support seat. The support seat is used to support equipment to be loaded or unloaded. The support seat includes a bearing portion for supporting the equipment to be loaded or unloaded and an arc-shaped portion located on the outer periphery of the bearing portion. The arc-shaped portion is slidably connected to the fixed seat along the extension direction of the arc-shaped portion, so that the support seat is rotatably connected to the fixed seat.

[0007] This application utilizes the arc-shaped portion of the support base edge to slide and connect with the fixed base along the arc-shaped extension direction, thereby enabling the rotation center of the support base to fall into the central area of ​​the support base, thus reducing the rotation radius of the support base, reducing the envelope space required for the support base to adjust the attitude of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded, and improving the adaptability of the support fixture to narrow working environments.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the fixed base has a groove, and the arc-shaped portion slides within the groove. The groove serves two purposes: firstly, it provides support for the connection between the arc-shaped portion and the support base, improving the reliability of the connection structure and preventing deformation or detachment of the arc-shaped portion under stress when carrying the equipment to be loaded or unloaded; secondly, the groove guides the sliding of the arc-shaped portion on the fixed base, limiting its sliding trajectory and improving the stability of the support fixture for adjusting the posture of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the arcuate portion includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along a first direction, and at least one of the first end and the second end is provided with a guide groove; The support fixture also includes a guide member, which is located on the fixed seat and is at least partially housed in the guide groove. The guide member is used to cooperate with the guide groove so as to move relative to the guide groove when the arc-shaped part slides relative to the groove.

[0010] The guide component can, on the one hand, increase the contact area between the arc-shaped part and the fixed seat, improve the stability of the connection between the arc-shaped part and the fixed seat, distribute the load borne by the arc-shaped part, and reduce local stress concentration; on the other hand, it can cooperate with the guide groove to provide guidance for the arc-shaped part, thereby limiting the sliding trajectory of the arc-shaped part, reducing the possibility of the arc-shaped part deviating or shaking during the sliding process, and improving the stability of the support fixture for the attitude adjustment of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the guide groove includes a first guide groove and a second guide groove arranged radially spaced along the arcuate portion; the guide member includes a first guide member and a second guide member, with the first guide member at least partially housed within the first guide groove; and the second guide member at least partially housed within the second guide groove. By using the first and second guide grooves arranged radially spaced along the arcuate portion, and cooperating with the first and second guide members, the contact area between the arcuate portion and the fixed seat can be increased, dispersing the load on the support seat and improving the reliability and load-bearing capacity of the connection. Furthermore, the first and second guide members form a multi-point support structure with the arcuate portion, thereby improving the stability of the rotational connection between the support seat and the fixed seat and reducing the possibility of the arcuate portion shifting or wobbling during sliding.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the guide includes a rolling portion partially housed within a guide groove. When the arcuate portion slides relative to the groove, the rolling portion can roll relative to the guide groove. This converts the sliding friction between the guide and the guide groove into rolling friction, reducing the frictional resistance between the arcuate portion and the guide, reducing sliding wear between the arcuate portion and the guide, and extending the service life of the support fixture.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the support fixture further includes a first locking element, which engages with the support seat when the support seat is in a first preset position to prevent the support seat from rotating relative to the fixed seat. This reduces the possibility of the equipment being loaded or unloaded shifting due to accidental rotation of the support seat during loading and unloading, causing inaccurate positioning or slippage from the support seat, thereby improving the reliability and safety of loading and unloading the equipment.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the support base is provided with a first locking hole. When the support base is in a first preset position, a portion of the first locking member is located within the first locking hole. This configuration has two advantages: firstly, the first locking hole has a simple structure, effectively reducing the space occupied by the first locking member on the support fixture, reducing the volume of the support fixture, and improving its adaptability to confined spaces; secondly, the locking of the support base by the first locking hole mainly relies on the insertion and removal of the first locking member within the first locking hole, resulting in a simple locking method that effectively reduces the operational difficulty of the support base in confined spaces and improves the loading and unloading efficiency of the parts to be loaded and unloaded.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the support base is provided with a limiting structure to prevent the equipment to be loaded or unloaded from moving relative to the support base. This reduces the likelihood of swaying and positioning misalignment of the equipment during attitude adjustment, thereby improving the reliability of loading and unloading.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the support fixture further includes a clamping assembly disposed on the support base, which is used to clamp the equipment to be loaded or unloaded. This reduces the possibility of swaying and positioning misalignment of the equipment during attitude adjustment, thereby improving the reliability of loading and unloading the equipment.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the support fixture further includes a first drive assembly connected to a fixed base to drive the fixed base to move along a first direction. This allows the support base to be raised, lowered, or translated in the first direction to accommodate the attitude or position adjustment of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded, improving the adaptability of the support fixture to different spatial positions, broadening its applicability, and enhancing the flexibility and convenience of loading and unloading operations.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the first driving assembly includes a mounting base, a sliding base, and a driving member. The sliding base is slidably disposed on the mounting base along a first direction. A fixed base is connected to the sliding base, and the driving member is connected to the sliding base to drive the sliding base to move along the first direction. In practical applications, the driving member can drive the fixed base to move along the first direction by moving the sliding base relative to the mounting base along the first direction, thereby driving the support base and the equipment to be loaded / unloaded supported on the support base to move along the first direction, thus completing the position adjustment of the equipment to be loaded / unloaded in the first direction.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the drive element includes a rotating element and a power conversion element, the rotating element being used to output rotational torque; The power conversion component is connected to the sliding seat, and it converts the rotational motion output by the power conversion component into linear motion of the sliding seat along a first direction. In this embodiment, the power conversion component converts the rotational motion of the rotating component into linear motion of the sliding seat, thereby offsetting the arrangement direction of the rotating component from the movement direction of the sliding seat. This reduces the space occupied by the drive assembly on the sliding path of the sliding seat, reduces the overall volume of the support fixture, and improves adaptability to confined spaces. Furthermore, the power conversion component often has a self-locking characteristic, which can lock the sliding seat after it has moved to a preset position in the first direction, thereby ensuring the reliability of the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction and improving the stability and safety of loading and unloading operations.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the first drive assembly further includes a support member disposed on the mounting base; the sliding seat is slidably disposed on the support member. The support member serves to guide the movement of the sliding seat, thereby improving the stability of the sliding seat sliding in the first direction and improving the stability of the support fixture for adjusting the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the support includes a first support and a second support spaced apart along a second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction. This increases the contact area between the sliding seat and the support, as well as the support span, thereby dispersing the load on the sliding seat, reducing the pressure on the driving component, and improving the load-bearing capacity and smoothness of sliding along the first direction of the sliding seat.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the first support member and the drive member are located on a first plane, and the second support member and the drive member are located on a second plane, with the first and second planes intersecting. By arranging the first support member, the second support member, and the drive member on the intersecting first and second planes, a triangular support structure is formed, improving the stability of the drive member and the support member in supporting and driving the sliding seat, and improving the stability of the support fixture in adjusting the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the support fixture further includes a bracket, with a fixed seat connected to the bracket and movably mounted on the bracket along a third direction. This allows the support seat to be raised, lowered, or translated in the third direction to accommodate adjustments in the attitude or position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded, improving the adaptability of the support fixture to different spatial positions, broadening its applicability, and enhancing the flexibility and convenience of loading and unloading operations.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the support fixture further includes a second locking element, which engages with the bracket when the fixed seat is in a second preset position to prevent the fixed seat from moving relative to the bracket. This reduces the possibility of the equipment being loaded or unloaded shifting or becoming inaccurate in positioning due to accidental sliding of the fixed seat during loading and unloading, thereby improving the reliability and safety of loading and unloading the equipment.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the bracket is provided with a second locking hole. When the fixed base is in a second preset position, the second locking member is at least partially located within the second locking hole. This configuration has two advantages: firstly, the second locking hole has a simple structure, effectively reducing the space occupied by the second locking member on the support fixture, reducing the volume of the support fixture, and improving its adaptability to confined spaces; secondly, the locking of the support base by the second locking hole mainly relies on the insertion and removal of the second locking member within the second locking hole, resulting in a simple locking method that effectively reduces the operational difficulty of the support fixture in confined spaces and improves the loading and unloading efficiency of the parts to be loaded and unloaded.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the support includes a first end and a second end disposed along a third direction. The support fixture also includes a limiting member disposed at at least one of the first end or the second end; the limiting member is used to prevent the fixed seat from moving along the third direction. This prevents the fixed seat from detaching from the support during sliding along the third direction, thus avoiding damage to the equipment to be loaded or unloaded, and improves the reliability of the support fixture for adjusting the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the third direction.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the support fixture further includes a fixing component connected to the bracket; the fixing component is used to secure the bracket to the external support member. This improves the stability of the bracket during the assembly and disassembly of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded, reduces unexpected movement of the bracket during the assembly and disassembly process, and enhances the stability of the support fixture in supporting the equipment to be loaded and unloaded.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the support fixture further includes a first pulley assembly and a second pulley assembly, which are slidably mounted on the support frame. The distance between the first and second pulley assemblies along a third direction is adjustable. The first and second pulley assemblies are used to move the support frame, enabling the support frame to extend the equipment to be loaded / unloaded into confined installation areas, thus improving the convenience of the support fixture in confined spaces. Simultaneously, the adjustable distance between the first and second pulley assemblies allows for flexible adjustment of the distance along a third direction according to the center of gravity of the equipment to be loaded / unloaded, ensuring that the center of gravity of the support frame and the equipment to be loaded / unloaded is always located between the first and second pulley assemblies, improving the stability of the support frame's movement and load-bearing capacity.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] In industrial manufacturing, equipment maintenance, and precision assembly, cranes, forklifts, and other handling equipment are typically used to assist in the installation or dismantling of heavy equipment. However, in actual engineering applications, there are often confined spaces that are difficult for conventional handling equipment to access.

[0033] Taking the semiconductor manufacturing field as an example, the vacuum molecular pump is a key component of the vapor deposition equipment. Its installation position is usually located below or to the side of the process chamber. This installation position is usually surrounded by cooling circulation pipelines, high-density electrical cables or other equipment. Conventional handling equipment such as cranes and forklifts are difficult to access, or if they are accessed, it is difficult to adjust the attitude of the vacuum molecular pump according to the installation requirements.

[0034] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a support fixture for supporting equipment to be loaded or unloaded in a confined space, thereby assisting the equipment in completing its installation and disassembly within the confined space.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 may include a fixed seat 1 and a support seat 2. The support seat 2 is used to support the equipment to be loaded or unloaded. The support seat 2 includes a support portion 21 for supporting the equipment to be loaded or unloaded and an arc-shaped portion 22 located on the outer periphery of the support portion 21. The arc-shaped portion 22 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 1 along the extension direction of the arc-shaped portion 22, so that the support seat 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 1.

[0036] This application utilizes the arc-shaped portion 22 at the edge of the support base 2 to slide and connect the fixed base 1 along the extension direction of the arc-shaped portion 22, thereby enabling the rotation center of the support base 2 to fall into the central area of ​​the support base 2, thereby reducing the rotation radius of the support base 2, reducing the envelope space required for the support base 2 to adjust the posture of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded, and improving the adaptability of the support fixture 100 to the narrow working environment.

[0037] The support fixture 100 provided in this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 The support fixture 100 includes a fixed base 1 and a support base 2. The fixed base 1 serves as the supporting frame for the support base 2, and is used to support and connect the support base 2. At the same time, the fixed base 1 can also be connected to different structures according to different working conditions, so as to broaden the support fixture 100 to adapt to different working environments and installation requirements.

[0039] The support base 2 includes a bearing portion 21 and an arc-shaped portion 22. The bearing portion 21 supports the equipment to be loaded or unloaded. The equipment to be loaded or unloaded has a mounting portion for connecting to the support base 2. The projection of the mounting portion of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded falls within the projection of the bearing portion 21. The shape of the bearing portion 21 can be arranged according to the shape of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded; that is, the shape of the bearing portion 21 can be as follows: Figure 3 The circular shape shown is adapted to the outline of the vacuum molecular pump. The support part 21 can also be set as a rectangle, trapezoid, or other regular or irregular shape. This application does not limit this.

[0040] In some embodiments, the support portion 21 is provided with a limiting structure 24, which can be as follows: Figure 3 The limiting groove shown can also be a limiting protrusion or other structure that can restrict the movement of the parts to be loaded or unloaded; this application does not impose any limitations on this. The limiting structure 24 is used to limit the equipment to be loaded or unloaded to ensure the stability of the load-bearing part 21 in supporting the equipment to be loaded or unloaded.

[0041] It should be understood that in other possible implementations, the limiting structure 24 may also be provided on the arc-shaped portion 22 of the support base 2, and this application does not limit this.

[0042] The arc-shaped portion 22 is connected to the outer periphery of the bearing portion 21 and is located outside the projection of the mounting portion of the equipment to be loaded / unloaded onto the support member. The arc-shaped portion 22 is connected to the fixing base 1 and can be positioned relative to the fixing base 1 along the extending direction of the arc-shaped portion 22. Figure 3 Slide in the direction shown in a) to convert the sliding of the arc-shaped part 22 relative to the fixed seat into the circumferential rotation of the support seat 2, thereby realizing the adjustment of the circumferential posture of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded.

[0043] Furthermore, since the arc-shaped portion 22 located on the outer periphery of the support base 2 can cooperate with the fixed base to enable the support base 2 to rotate, the rotation center of the support base 2 can be constrained to the middle area of ​​the support base 2, thereby effectively reducing the rotation radius of the support base 2, reducing the envelope space required for the support base 2 to adjust the posture of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded, and improving the adaptability of the support fixture 100 to the narrow working environment.

[0044] The central region can refer to the minimum distance L between the projection of the rotation center of the support base 2 and the edge of the projection outline of the support base 2 in the projection plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the support base 2, and the minimum outer contour dimension D of the support base 2 in the projection plane, which satisfies the following: L / D≥1 / 2.

[0045] The arc-shaped portion 22 can have various structural shapes. In some embodiments, the arc-shaped portion 22 can be as follows: Figure 3 The structure shown is a non-closed structure with an arc of less than 360°. The support base 2 can slide back and forth within the central angle range corresponding to the arc portion 22 along the extension direction of the arc portion 22 to meet the circumferential attitude adjustment requirements of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded within a limited angle.

[0046] In other possible implementations, the arc-shaped portion 22 can be a closed annular structure, that is, the arc of the arc-shaped portion 22 is equal to 360°, thereby allowing the support base 2 to rotate 360° around the rotation center in a full circumference, thereby meeting the adjustment requirements of any circumferential posture of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded. This application does not limit this.

[0047] There are various ways to slide the arc-shaped part 22 and the fixed base 1. In some embodiments, the fixed base 1 is provided with a groove 11, and the arc-shaped part 22 is slidably disposed in the groove 11. The groove 11 provides support for the connection between the arc-shaped part 22 and the support base 2, improves the reliability of the connection structure between the arc-shaped part 22 and the fixed base 1, and prevents the arc-shaped part 22 from deforming or detaching due to force when bearing the equipment to be loaded or unloaded. On the other hand, the groove 11 can guide the sliding of the arc-shaped part 22 on the fixed base 1, limit the sliding trajectory of the arc-shaped part 22, and improve the stability of the support fixture 100 for adjusting the posture of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded.

[0048] It should be understood that in other possible implementations, an arc-shaped guide rail may also be provided on the fixed base 1, and the arc-shaped part 22 and the fixed base 1 may be slidably connected by the arc-shaped part 22 being provided on the arc-shaped guide rail. This application does not limit this.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the arcuate portion 22 includes a first end 22a and a second end 22b disposed opposite to each other along a first direction Z, and at least one of the first end 22a and the second end 22b is provided with a guide groove 221; the support fixture 100 also includes a guide member 3, which is disposed on the fixed base 1 and is at least partially accommodated in the guide groove 221. The guide member 3 is used to cooperate with the guide groove 221 to move relative to the guide groove 221 when the arcuate portion 22 slides relative to the groove 11.

[0050] The guide member 3 can, on the one hand, increase the contact area between the arc-shaped part 22 and the fixed seat 1, improve the stability of the connection between the arc-shaped part 22 and the fixed seat 1, disperse the load borne by the arc-shaped part 22, and reduce local stress concentration; on the other hand, it can cooperate with the guide groove 221 to provide guidance for the arc-shaped part 22, thereby limiting the sliding trajectory of the arc-shaped part 22, reducing the possibility of the arc-shaped part 22 deviating or shaking during the sliding process, and improving the stability of the support fixture 100 for the attitude adjustment of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded.

[0051] The number of guide grooves 221 can be one or more, and this application does not limit this. In some embodiments, the guide groove 221 includes a first guide groove 221a and a second guide groove 221b that are radially spaced along the arc-shaped portion 22; the guide member 3 includes a first guide member 3a and a second guide member 3b, the first guide member 3a being at least partially housed in the first guide groove 221a; and the second guide member 3b being at least partially housed in the second guide groove 221b.

[0052] It should be noted that the number of first guide members 3a accommodated in the first guide groove 221a can be one or more, and the number of second guide members 3b accommodated in the second guide groove 221b can be one or more; this application does not impose any limitation on this. For example, the guide members include one first guide member 3a and two second guide members 3b, with one first guide member 3a disposed in the first guide groove 221a and two second guide members 3b disposed in the second guide groove 221b.

[0053] By using the first guide groove 221a and the second guide groove 221b arranged radially at intervals along the arc-shaped portion 22, in conjunction with the first guide member 3a and the second guide member 3b, on the one hand, the contact area between the arc-shaped portion 22 and the fixed seat 1 can be increased, the load of the support seat 2 can be distributed, and the reliability and load-bearing capacity of the connection can be improved; on the other hand, the first guide member 3a and the second guide member 3b form a multi-point support structure with the arc-shaped portion 22, thereby improving the stability of the rotational connection between the support seat 2 and the fixed seat 1 and reducing the possibility of the arc-shaped portion 22 shifting or shaking during the sliding process.

[0054] In some embodiments, the guide member 3 includes a mounting portion 32 and a rolling portion 31. The mounting portion 32 is connected to the fixed base 1, and the rolling portion 31 is rotatably disposed within the mounting base 61 and partially accommodated within the guide groove 221. When the arc-shaped portion 22 slides relative to the groove 11, the rolling portion 31 can roll relative to the guide groove 221. In this way, the sliding friction between the guide member 3 and the guide groove 221 is converted into rolling friction, reducing the frictional resistance between the arc-shaped portion 22 and the guide member 3, reducing the sliding wear between the arc-shaped portion 22 and the guide member 3, and extending the service life of the support fixture 100.

[0055] It should be understood that in other possible embodiments, the guide member 3 may also include only the rolling part 31, part of which is rolled within the fixed seat 1 and part of which extends into the guide groove 221, thereby completing the guidance of the arc-shaped part 22. This application does not limit this.

[0056] In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 further includes a first locking member 4, which engages with the support base 2 when the support base 2 is in a first preset position to prevent the support base 2 from rotating relative to the fixed base 1. Specifically, when the equipment to be loaded or unloaded is rotated to the target installation posture, the support base 2 also rotates accordingly to the first preset position, that is, the first preset position matches the target installation posture of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded. At this time, the first locking member 4 can engage with the support base 2 to lock the support base 2 in place at the first preset position. This reduces the possibility of the equipment's posture shifting, positioning inaccurate, or slipping off the support base 2 due to accidental rotation of the support base 2 during the loading and unloading process, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the loading and unloading of the equipment.

[0057] The first locking element 4 can be a snap fastener, a clamping block, or other locking structures, and this application does not limit this. In some embodiments, the support base 2 is provided with a first locking hole 23, and the first locking element 4 includes a first pin 41. When the support base 2 is in a first preset position, part of the first pin 41 is located in the first locking hole 23. With this configuration, on the one hand, the structure of the first locking hole 23 is simple, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the first locking element 4 on the support fixture 100, reduce the volume of the support fixture 100, and improve the adaptability of the support fixture 100 to narrow spaces; on the other hand, the locking of the support base 2 by the first locking hole 23 mainly relies on the insertion and removal of the first locking element 4 in the first locking hole 23. The locking method is simple, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of operating the support base 2 in narrow spaces and improve the loading and unloading efficiency of the parts to be loaded and unloaded.

[0058] When the first locking element 4 is the first pin 41, in some embodiments, the first locking element 4 may also include a first elastic element (not shown in the figure). The first elastic element may be a spring, a disc spring, or other elastic structures. This application does not limit this.

[0059] The first elastic element is connected between the fixed base 1 and the first pin 41. The first elastic element is used to provide the first pin 41 with an elastic preload towards the first locking hole 23, so that after the first locking hole 23 and the first pin 41 are aligned with each other, the first pin 41 can be automatically inserted into the first locking hole 23 under the drive of the elastic force, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the support base 2, reducing the difficulty of locking the support base 2 in a narrow space, and improving the loading and unloading efficiency of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 further includes a clamping assembly 5, which is disposed on the support base 2 and is used to clamp the equipment to be loaded or unloaded. This reduces the possibility of the equipment swaying or shifting during attitude adjustment, thereby improving the reliability of loading and unloading the equipment.

[0061] The clamping assembly 5 can be a gripper, a pneumatic suction cup, or a magnetic suction cup; this application does not limit this. In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 5 includes a pressure block 51 and a downward driving member 52. The downward driving member 52 can be a motor, a cylinder, or other driving structure; this application does not limit this.

[0062] The pressure block 51 is driven to connect with the downward driving component 52. In practical applications, the downward driving component 52 can drive the pressure block 51 to move downward and press the equipment to be loaded and unloaded, thereby firmly clamping the equipment to be loaded and unloaded on the bearing part 21, preventing the equipment to be loaded and unloaded from shifting, shaking or slipping during posture adjustment or movement, and improving the positioning stability of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded on the support base 2.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 further includes a first drive assembly 6, which is connected to the fixed base 1 to drive the fixed base 1 to move along the first direction Z. This allows for the adjustment of the posture or position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction Z, enabling the support base 2 to rise or translate in the first direction Z. This improves the adaptability of the support fixture 100 to the position adjustment requirements of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction Z under different installation conditions, and enhances the flexibility and convenience of the loading and unloading operations of the support fixture 100.

[0064] It should be noted that, taking the support fixture set in a horizontal plane as an example, the first direction Z can be the vertical direction of the support fixture 100, that is, the height direction of the support fixture 100, or the front-back direction of the support fixture 100, or the left-right direction of the support fixture 100. This application does not limit this. For example, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the first direction Z is the vertical direction of the support fixture 100. The first drive component 6 can drive the fixed base 1 to move up and down to improve the adaptability of the support fixture 100 to the installation of equipment to be loaded and unloaded at different heights.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first driving assembly 6 includes a mounting base 61, a sliding base 62, and a driving member 63. The sliding base 62 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 61 along a first direction Z. The fixed base 1 is connected to the sliding base 62, and the driving member 63 is connected to the sliding base 62 to drive the sliding base 62 to move along the first direction Z. In practical applications, the driving member 63 can drive the fixed base 1 to move along the first direction Z by driving the sliding base 62 to move relative to the mounting base 61 along the first direction Z, thereby driving the support base 2 and the equipment to be loaded or unloaded supported on the support base 2 to move along the first direction Z, thus completing the position adjustment of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction Z.

[0066] In some embodiments, the drive member 63 includes a rotating member 631 and a power conversion member 632. The rotating member 631 is used to output rotational torque. The power conversion member 632 is connected to the sliding seat 62 and is used to convert the rotational motion output by the power conversion member 632 into linear motion of the sliding seat 62 along the first direction Z.

[0067] The rotating component 631 can be a motor, a handwheel, or other rotating power component. The power conversion component 632 can be a lead screw and nut, a worm gear, or a gear and rack; this application does not limit the specific components. For example, the rotating component 631 includes a rotating nut, and the power conversion component 632 includes a lead screw and a nut. The lead screw extends along the first direction Z, and the nut is helically engaged with the lead screw and connected to the sliding seat. In practical applications, rotating the rotating nut can drive the lead screw to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw can drive the nut to move up and down along the first direction Z, thereby driving the sliding seat and the bearing portion located on the sliding seat to move along the first direction Z, thus completing the position adjustment of the equipment to be loaded / unloaded in the first direction Z.

[0068] In this embodiment, the rotational motion of the rotating component 631 is converted into the linear motion of the sliding seat 62 by the power conversion component 632. This causes the arrangement direction of the rotating component 631 to be offset from the movement direction of the sliding seat 62, reducing the space occupied by the drive component on the sliding path of the sliding seat 62, reducing the overall volume of the support fixture 100, and improving adaptability to confined spaces. On the other hand, the power conversion component 632 has a self-locking characteristic, which can lock the sliding seat 62 after it moves to a preset position in the first direction Z, thereby ensuring the reliability of the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction Z, and improving the stability and safety of loading and unloading operations.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly 6 further includes a support member 64 disposed on the mounting base 61; the sliding seat 62 is slidably disposed on the support member 64. The support member 64 is used to guide the movement of the sliding seat 62, thereby improving the stability of the sliding seat 62 sliding along the first direction Z, and improving the stability of the support fixture 100 for adjusting the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction Z.

[0070] The number of support members 64 can be one or more, and this application does not limit this. In some embodiments, the support member 64 includes a first support member 64a and a second support member 64b spaced apart along a second direction Y, wherein the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction Z. This increases the contact area and support span between the sliding seat 62 and the support member 64, disperses the load borne by the sliding seat 62, reduces the pressure on the driving member 63, and improves the load-bearing capacity of the sliding seat 62 and the smoothness of sliding along the first direction Z.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first support member 64a and the driving member 63 are located on a first plane, and the second support member 64b and the driving member 63 are located on a second plane, with the first and second planes being intersecting planes. By arranging the first support member 64a, the second support member 64b, and the driving member 63 on the intersecting first and second planes, a triangular support structure is formed, improving the stability of the driving member 63 and the support member 64 in supporting and driving the sliding seat 62, and improving the stability of the support fixture 100 in adjusting the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the first direction Z.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10 In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 further includes a bracket 7, with a fixed base 1 connected to the bracket 7. The fixed base 1 is movable relative to the bracket 7 along a third direction X, which is perpendicular to the first direction Z. This allows the support base 2 to be raised or lowered or translated along the third direction X to accommodate the attitude or position adjustment of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded, improving the adaptability of the support fixture 100 to different spatial positions, broadening its application range, and enhancing the flexibility and convenience of loading and unloading operations.

[0073] The fixed base 1 can be directly connected to the bracket 7, or it can be connected to the bracket 7 through an intermediate component; this application does not impose any restrictions on this. For example, the mounting base 61 is slidably disposed on the bracket 7 along the third direction X, and the fixed base 1 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 61 through the sliding base 62, and is slidably connected to the bracket 7 through the mounting base 61.

[0074] The third direction X can be the vertical direction of the supporting fixture 100, i.e., the height direction of the supporting fixture 100, or the front-back direction of the supporting fixture 100, or the left-right direction of the supporting fixture 100. This application does not limit this. For example, the third direction X is the front-back direction of the supporting fixture 100. In practical applications, the bracket 7 can extend into the narrow space before the support base 2. Then, the fixed base 1 can move back and forth relative to the bracket 7 to drive the support base 2 and the equipment to be loaded and unloaded into the narrow space in the front-back direction, thereby delivering the equipment to be loaded and unloaded to the target installation position. This avoids operational interference caused by the entire supporting fixture 100 entering the narrow space at the same time, and improves the adaptability of operations in spaces with limited depth.

[0075] In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 further includes a second locking member 8, which engages with the bracket 7 when the fixed seat 1 is in a second preset position to prevent the fixed seat 1 from moving relative to the bracket 7. Specifically, when the equipment to be loaded or unloaded reaches the target position along a third direction, the fixed seat also reaches the second preset position relative to the bracket. At this time, the fixed seat can be fixed in the second preset position by engaging with the bracket through the second locking member. This reduces the possibility of the equipment being loaded or unloaded shifting or becoming inaccurate in positioning due to accidental sliding of the fixed seat 1 during the loading and unloading process, thereby improving the reliability and safety of loading and unloading the equipment.

[0076] It should be noted that when the fixed seat 1 is directly slidably connected to the bracket 7, the second locking member 8 can lock the fixed seat 1 to prevent the fixed seat 1 and the bracket 7 from moving relative to each other in the third direction X. When the fixed seat 1 is slidably connected to the bracket 7 through the intermediate member, the second locking member 8 can lock the intermediate member to prevent the fixed seat 1 and the bracket 7 from moving relative to each other in the third direction X. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0077] The second locking element 8 can be a snap-fit, a clamping block, or other locking structures, and this application does not limit this. In some embodiments, the support base 2 is provided with a second locking hole 71, and the second locking element 8 includes a second pin 81. When the support base 2 is in a second preset position, part of the second pin 81 is located in the second locking hole 71. With this configuration, on the one hand, the structure of the second locking hole 71 is simple, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the second locking element 8 on the support fixture 100, reduce the volume of the support fixture 100, and improve the adaptability of the support fixture 100 to narrow spaces; on the other hand, the locking of the fixed base 1 by the second locking hole 71 mainly relies on the insertion and removal of the second locking element 8 in the second locking hole 71. The locking method is simple, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of operating the support base 2 in narrow spaces and improve the loading and unloading efficiency of the parts to be loaded and unloaded.

[0078] When the second locking member 8 is the second pin 81, in some embodiments, the second locking member 8 may also include a second elastic member (not shown in the figure). The second elastic member may be a spring, a disc spring, or other elastic structures. This application does not limit this.

[0079] The second elastic element is connected between the fixed base 1 and the second pin 81. The second elastic element is used to provide the second pin 81 with an elastic preload towards the second locking hole 71, so that after the second locking hole 71 and the second pin 81 are aligned with each other, the second pin 81 can be automatically inserted into the second locking hole 71 under the drive of the elastic force, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the fixed base 1, reducing the difficulty of locking the support base 2 in a narrow space, and improving the loading and unloading efficiency of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded.

[0080] In some embodiments, the support 7 includes a first end and a second end disposed along a third direction X, and the support fixture 100 further includes a limiting member 110, which is disposed at least one of the first end or the second end; the limiting member 110 is used to prevent the fixed seat 1 from moving along the third direction X. This prevents the fixed seat 1 from detaching from the support 7 during sliding along the third direction X, thus avoiding damage to the equipment to be loaded or unloaded, and improves the reliability of the support fixture 100 for adjusting the position of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded in the third direction X.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 further includes a pulley assembly 10, which includes a connecting plate 101 and a pulley 102. The connecting plate 101 is connected to the bracket 7, and the pulley 102 is slidably disposed on the connecting plate 101. The pulley 102 can rotate to drive the bracket 7 to move, thereby enabling the bracket 7 to drive the equipment to be loaded or unloaded into the narrow installation area, improving the convenience of the support fixture 100 in narrow spaces.

[0082] In some embodiments, the pulley assembly 10 includes a first pulley assembly 10a and a second pulley assembly 10b, which are slidably disposed on the support 7. The distance between the first pulley assembly 10a and the second pulley assembly 10b along the third direction X is adjustable. The support fixture 100 can flexibly adjust the distance between the first pulley assembly 10a and the second pulley assembly 10b along the third direction X according to the needs of the center of gravity of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded, so that the center of gravity of the support 7 and the equipment to be loaded or unloaded is always located between the first pulley assembly 10a and the second pulley assembly 10b, thereby improving the stability of the movement and load-bearing of the support 7.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 14 In some embodiments, the support fixture 100 further includes a fixing component 9, which is connected to the bracket 7; the fixing component 9 is used to fix the bracket 7 to the external support member. In this way, the stability of the bracket 7 is improved during the assembly and disassembly of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded, the unexpected movement of the bracket 7 during the assembly and disassembly of the equipment to be loaded and unloaded is reduced, and the stability of the support fixture 100 in supporting the equipment to be loaded and unloaded is improved.

[0084] In some implementations, the fixing component 9 may be as follows: Figure 13 As shown, it includes a first mounting plate 91 and a bolt 92. The first mounting plate 91 is connected to the bracket 7, and the bolt 92 passes through the first mounting plate 91 and is fastened to the external support, thereby firmly fixing the bracket 7 to the external support and improving the stability of the support fixture 100 in subsequent operations.

[0085] In other possible implementations, the fixing component 9 may also be as follows: Figure 14 As shown, it includes a second mounting plate 93 and a clamping block 94. The second mounting plate 93 is connected to the bracket 7, and the clamping block 94 is connected to the second mounting plate 93. The clamping block 94 can clamp the external support, thereby firmly fixing the bracket 7 to the external support and improving the stability of the support fixture 100 in subsequent operations.

[0086] It should be noted that the external support can be the target installation equipment of the equipment to be loaded or unloaded, or it can be the ground or other support structures with support capabilities. This application does not limit this.

[0087] In some embodiments, the fixing component 9 is disposed on the pulley assembly 10, so that the position of the fixing component 9 can be adjusted at the same time as the position of the pulley assembly 10, simplifying the fixing and alignment operation process, enabling the bracket 7 to be quickly fixed after it is moved into place, and improving the ease of operation of the support fixture 100.
