Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lighting manufacturing technology, specifically to a stacking and transfer fixture for finished lighting products. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrialized mass production process of lighting fixtures, after the finished lighting fixtures are processed and inspected, they are continuously transported to the end of the production line by a conveyor belt. The finished products need to be transferred to turnover boxes through a transfer process to complete the stacking and subsequent circulation. This is the core link connecting the output of finished products and the warehousing and transfer on the lighting fixture production line. At present, the industry generally adopts the traditional operation mode of manually catching the finished lighting fixtures that fall from the end of the conveyor belt for the end transfer operation of finished lighting fixtures. This mode has unavoidable technical defects in actual large-scale production. The core problem is that the finished lighting fixtures cannot be arranged in neat rows.

[0003] In terms of operational efficiency, the number of finished lighting fixtures that can be manually handled at one time is limited, which cannot match the production rhythm of the continuous output of the automated conveyor belt, directly reducing the overall turnover speed of the production line. In terms of finished product neatness, the finished lighting fixtures have no fixed guidance during the manual handling process, and random stacking will lead to a messy and disorderly arrangement. Additional manpower is required to rearrange and stack them in the turnover box, which greatly increases labor costs and operation time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a stacking and transfer fixture for finished lighting fixtures, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency in manual handling and messy arrangement of finished products in the end-of-line transfer of finished lighting fixtures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: A stacking and transfer fixture for finished lighting fixtures is installed between the end of the finished lighting fixture conveyor belt and a turnover box. It includes a receiving plate placed on the ground, a vertical mounting rod fixed at the top center of the receiving plate, and a height-adjustable receiving frame installed on the mounting rod. The receiving frame receives multiple finished lighting fixtures falling from the end of the conveyor belt at one time and arranges the multiple lighting fixtures in a row.

[0006] Specifically, the receiving frame of the present invention includes a circular collar, which is fitted onto the mounting rod and is height-adjustable. A fixing ring is provided on the outer side of the circular collar. The fixing ring is a regular polygon. Each corner of the inner side of the fixing ring is fixed with a connecting rod to the circular collar. A receiving structure is installed on each side of the fixing ring.

[0007] To achieve height adjustment of the fixing ring, the mounting rod is a threaded rod with a nut threaded onto it, the top of which rests against the bottom of the circular collar.

[0008] Specifically, the receiving structure of the present invention includes two receiving plates arranged opposite to each other. The two receiving plates are spliced ​​together, and after the two receiving plates are spliced ​​together, the end near the mounting rod is detachably connected to the fixing ring.

[0009] In order to utilize the weight of the finished lamps, the receiving plate is arranged at an angle downward from the end of the conveyor belt toward the mounting rod. Multiple finished lamps slide sequentially onto the two receiving plates by their own weight.

[0010] To prevent the finished lamp from slipping off the side of the support plate, the cross-section of the support plate is L-shaped, and the bottom plates of the two support plates are arranged opposite each other.

[0011] In order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the support structure, a locking block is fixed at one end of the support plate near the mounting rod, and a locking slot is provided on the side of the fixing ring. After the locking blocks at the ends of the two support plates on a support structure are spliced ​​together, they are locked in the locking slot.

[0012] To facilitate disassembly of the supporting structure and prevent the two supporting plates from loosening, the supporting structure also includes a semi-circular elastic plate, the two free ends of which are fixed to the top of the side plates of the two supporting plates.

[0013] To facilitate unloading, two symmetrically arranged rings are fixed on the elastic plate with a gap between them. The worker holds the rings with both hands, then pulls the clip out of the slot and applies pressure to the rings, causing the two rings to move relative to each other. This allows the elastic plate to open, which in turn drives the two receiving plates to move back to back and open. At this point, the finished lamp can fall into the turnover box through the opening.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the receiving rack can receive multiple finished lamps that fall from the end of the conveyor belt at one time, eliminating the need for manual handling of each piece. It can adapt to the rhythm of continuous output of the conveyor belt, greatly improving the overall efficiency of finished lamp transfer. The finished lamps slide automatically on the receiving plate under their own gravity, directly achieving orderly placement in rows, eliminating the secondary sorting process in the turnover box, reducing labor input and operation time, optimizing the production process. With the design of the elastic plate and finger ring, the receiving plate can be opened quickly to complete the unloading, making the operation simple and labor-saving. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Example

[0018] This embodiment is a basic application example of a stacking and transfer fixture for finished lighting fixtures. It focuses on illustrating the basic working process of the fixture's overall installation, height adjustment, batch acceptance of finished lighting fixtures, and automatic arrangement.

[0019] In this embodiment, the tooling is installed between the end of the finished lamp conveyor belt M and the turnover box N. The ground plate 1 is placed directly and stably on the production site ground as the supporting foundation of the entire tooling. A vertical mounting rod 2 is fixedly installed at the top center of the ground plate 1. The mounting rod 2 adopts a threaded rod structure to provide a threaded fit foundation for the height adjustment of the support frame.

[0020] A circular collar 3 is fitted onto the mounting rod 2. The inner diameter of the circular collar 3 matches the outer diameter of the mounting rod 2, allowing it to slide up and down along the axial direction of the mounting rod 2 to adjust its height. A nut 6 is threaded onto the mounting rod 2, with the top face of the nut 6 abutting against the bottom of the circular collar 3. By rotating the nut 6 clockwise or counterclockwise, the circular collar 3 can be pushed upward along the mounting rod 2 or moved downward with the nut 6, thus adjusting the overall height of the support frame. This adjustment method can be adapted to turnover boxes N of different heights and can also match the discharge ports at the ends of conveyor belts M of different heights, improving the versatility of the tooling.

[0021] A fixing ring 4 is set on the outer side of the circular collar 3. The fixing ring 4 adopts a regular polygonal structure design. Each corner position on the inner side of the fixing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the circular collar 3 with a connecting rod 5. The connecting rod 5 is evenly distributed along the radial direction of the fixing ring 4, connecting the circular collar 3 and the fixing ring 4 into an integral rigid structure, ensuring the structural stability of the receiving frame when receiving finished lamps. Each side of the fixing ring 4 is equipped with a corresponding receiving structure. Multiple receiving structures can be rotated to further improve the transfer efficiency and meet the needs of continuous output of the production line.

[0022] The two receiving plates 7 in the receiving structure are spliced ​​together. The receiving plates 7 are inclined downward from the end of the conveyor belt M towards the mounting rod 2. The inclination angle is set to a reasonable angle to adapt to the sliding of the finished lamps. This ensures that the finished lamps can slide smoothly by their own weight, while avoiding damage to the lamps due to collisions caused by excessive angle. The cross-section of the receiving plate 7 is L-shaped. The bottom plates of the two receiving plates 7 are set opposite each other. The L-shaped side plates form lateral protection, and the bottom plates form the bearing surface. After the finished lamps fall from the end of the conveyor belt M onto the bearing surface of the receiving plate 7, they slide along the inclined surface towards the mounting rod 2. Multiple finished lamps slide and adhere to each other in sequence, automatically forming a neat row on the receiving plate 7 without the need for manual intervention.

[0023] In this embodiment, the locking block 8 at the end of the receiving plate 7 is spliced ​​and then inserted into the locking slot 4-1 on the side of the fixing ring 4 to achieve a stable connection between the receiving structure and the fixing ring 4, ensuring that the receiving plate 7 does not loosen or fall off during the receiving operation.

[0024] This embodiment achieves stable installation of the tooling, flexible height adjustment, and batch acceptance and automatic row arrangement of finished lamps through the cooperation of the ground plate, threaded rod mounting rod, nut, circular collar, fixing ring, connecting rod and inclined L-shaped receiving plate. It solves the basic problems of low efficiency and messy lamp arrangement caused by manual piece-by-piece acceptance. It is adapted to the continuous output rhythm of the conveyor belt and lays the structural foundation for subsequent rapid unloading. Example

[0025] Based on Example 1, this embodiment focuses on the detachable connection method of the receiving structure, the matching structure of the elastic plate and the ring, and the specific operation process of rapid unloading, further optimizing the ease of use of the tooling.

[0026] In this embodiment, the core disassembly and unloading components of the receiving structure include a locking block 8, a locking slot 4-1, an elastic plate 9, and a ring 10. The locking block 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the receiving plate 7 near the mounting rod 2. The outer dimensions of the locking block 8 are adapted to the locking slot 4-1 on the side of the fixing ring 4. After the locking blocks 8 at the ends of the two receiving plates 7 in a single receiving structure are spliced ​​together, the whole structure is inserted into the locking slot 4-1. The snap-fit ​​method does not require additional accessories such as bolts and fasteners. The disassembly and assembly operation can only be completed manually, which improves the efficiency of assembly and maintenance.

[0027] The elastic plate 9 is made of semi-circular elastic material, which has good deformation and recovery capabilities. The two free ends of the elastic plate 9 are fixed to the top of the side plates of the two supporting plates 7 respectively. The elastic tension of the elastic plate 9 keeps the two supporting plates 7 in a tight splicing state. During the process of lamp support and sliding arrangement, the two supporting plates 7 will not separate or have excessive gaps, ensuring the continuity of the support operation.

[0028] Two symmetrically arranged finger rings 10 are fixed on the elastic plate 9, with a reasonable gap between the two finger rings 10 to accommodate manual operation with fingers inserted by hand. When the finished lamps on the receiving plate 7 are fully arranged, and the lamps need to be transferred to the turnover box N, the operator inserts both hands into the two finger rings 10 respectively. First, the finger rings 10 are gently lifted to pull the two locking blocks 8 out of the locking slots 4-1 of the fixing ring 4, so that the receiving structure is disconnected from the fixing ring 4. Then, opposing pressure is applied to the two finger rings 10, causing the two finger rings 10 to deform the elastic plate 9. The semi-circular structure of the elastic plate 9 expands, which in turn causes the two receiving plates 7 to move in opposite directions, so that the spliced ​​receiving plates 7 form an opening. At this time, the finished lamps arranged in rows on the receiving plate 7 lose their support and fall vertically into the turnover box N below from the opening by their own weight, completing the one-time batch unloading.

[0029] After unloading, manually loosen the ring 10. The elastic plate 9 resets under its own elasticity, causing the two receiving plates 7 to reconnect and close. Then, insert the locking block 8 into the locking slot 4-1, and the lamp receiving operation can be carried out again. The entire unloading and resetting process is simple to operate and takes little time. No complicated tools are required, and a single person can complete all the operations.

[0030] This embodiment achieves rapid assembly and disassembly of the receiving structure and rapid unloading of finished lighting fixtures through the detachable snap-fit ​​of the card block and the card slot, the elastic constraint of the elastic plate, and the convenient operation of the ring. It eliminates the secondary sorting process in the turnover box, greatly reduces labor input and operation time, and further improves the overall efficiency of finished lighting fixture transportation. The operation is labor-saving and convenient, and it is suitable for the operation needs of industrialized mass production.

[0031] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
