Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of processing and positioning technology, and more specifically, to a material loading device. Background Technology

[0002] During product manufacturing, it is usually necessary to use a carrier to position the material so that the material is fixed relative to the carrier, so that it can be processed on other equipment or transported by the carrier carrying the material.

[0003] Existing carriers typically have fixed and movable components in two mutually perpendicular directions. The movable components can move closer to or away from the fixed components. When the movable components move away from the fixed components, material is placed into the carrier; when the movable components move closer to the fixed components, the material is clamped and positioned. In use, this requires operation in two directions to release or position the material, which is inconvenient and inefficient. Furthermore, if the material needs to be adjusted along the first or second direction after being placed on the carrier, this is also inconvenient and may damage the material's appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a material loading device to solve the technical problem that existing carriers are inconvenient for clamping or releasing materials.

[0005] One embodiment of this application provides a material loading device, including a carrier and an unlocking mechanism. The carrier is used to clamp materials. The carrier includes a first fixture base, a first clamping assembly, and a second clamping assembly. Both the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are disposed on the first fixture base. The first clamping assembly includes a first pushing member, a second pushing member, and a first elastic member. The first pushing member is movably disposed on the first fixture base. The first elastic member is used to drive the first pushing member to approach the second pushing member along a first direction. The first and second pushing members are used to clamp materials along the first direction. The second clamping assembly includes a third pushing member, a fourth pushing member, and a second elastic member. The third pushing member is movably disposed on the first fixture base. The second elastic member is used to drive the third pushing member to approach the fourth pushing member along a second direction. The third and fourth pushing members are used to clamp materials along the second direction. The first and second directions intersect. The unlocking mechanism includes a second fixture base, a first positioning member, a second positioning member, and a linkage assembly. The second fixture base is used to support the first fixture base. Both the first and second positioning members are movably disposed on the second fixture base. The first positioning member is detachably connected to the first pushing member, and the first positioning member is used to move relative to the first fixture seat in a first direction to drive the first pushing member to move in the first direction. The second positioning member is detachably connected to the third pushing member, and the second positioning member is used to move relative to the first fixture seat in a second direction to drive the third pushing member to move in the second direction. A linkage assembly is used to connect the first positioning member and the second positioning member, and to make the first positioning member and the second positioning member move simultaneously.

[0006] When the carrier needs to clamp materials, it is placed on the second fixture seat. The first positioning member and the first pushing member are connected, and the second positioning member and the third pushing member are connected. Under the action of the linkage assembly, the first positioning member moves along the first direction and drives the first pushing member to move along the first direction. At the same time, the second positioning member moves along the second direction and drives the third pushing member to move along the second direction. In this way, the first pushing member moves away from the second pushing member along the first direction, and the third pushing member moves away from the fourth pushing member along the second direction. The first elastic member and the second elastic member are compressed simultaneously. Then, the material is placed between the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly, and the carrier is removed from the second fixture seat. The first positioning member is no longer connected to the first pushing member, and the second positioning member is no longer connected to the third pushing member. The first elastic member is released and drives the first pushing member to move toward the material, and the third elastic member is released and drives the third pushing member to move toward the material, thereby clamping the material. When material needs to be removed from the carrier, the carrier and unlocking mechanism are installed. First, the first positioning component and the first pushing component are connected, and the second positioning component and the third pushing component are connected. Then, under the action of the linkage component, the first pushing component moves away from the material along the first direction, and the third pushing component moves away from the material along the second direction. In this way, the first clamping component and the second clamping component no longer clamp the material, and the material can be removed without damaging its surrounding appearance. Whether clamping or releasing material, only one operation is required through the linkage component, which allows the first and third pushing components to simultaneously move closer to or further away from the material, improving the efficiency of material clamping and release, and making it convenient for single-person operation.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage component includes a connector. The connector has a first contact surface, a second contact surface, and a connecting surface on the side facing the second positioning member. Along a second direction, the second contact surface is closer to the second positioning member than the first contact surface. The first contact surface, the connecting surface, and the second contact surface are sequentially connected along a first direction. When the connector moves along the first direction and toward the first positioning member, the first positioning member abuts against the connector, and the connector pushes the first positioning member so that the first positioning member drives a first abutting member to move away from the second abutting member. The second positioning member abuts against the connector and moves from the first contact surface to the second contact surface, and the connector pushes the second positioning member so that it drives a third abutting member to move away from the fourth abutting member.

[0008] Thus, when the connector moves along the first direction toward the first positioning member, the connector and the first positioning member abut against each other, the second positioning member abuts against the first contact surface, the connector continues to move along the first direction and pushes the first positioning member to move away from the material, and the second positioning member moves from the first contact surface to the connecting surface until it abuts against the second contact surface. The first pushing member and the third pushing member can open at the same time to clamp or release the material.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, when the connector moves along a first direction and away from the first positioning member, the first pushing member moves towards the second pushing member along the first direction under the drive of the first elastic member, and drives the first positioning member to move in the same direction. Simultaneously, the third pushing member moves towards the fourth pushing member along a second direction under the drive of the second elastic member, and drives the second positioning member to move in the same direction.

[0010] Under the action of the connecting member, the first positioning member moves the first pushing member away from the second pushing member, and the second positioning member simultaneously moves the third pushing member away from the fourth pushing member. When the material is placed on the first fixture seat, the connecting member moves away from the first positioning member along the first direction. At this time, the first and second positioning members do not move with the connecting member, and the first and second elastic members are no longer subjected to the force that compresses them. The release of the first elastic member drives the first pushing member to move towards the second pushing member, and the first positioning member is simultaneously driven by the first pushing member to move towards the connecting member; the release of the second elastic member drives the third pushing member to move towards the fourth pushing member, and the second positioning member is simultaneously driven by the third pushing member to move towards the connecting member. In this way, the first and second positioning members can return to their initial positions. The next time material needs to be clamped or released, the connecting member moves along the first direction and drives the first and second positioning members to move, so that the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly open. Whether clamping or releasing material, the action of the unlocking mechanism is consistent.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the unlocking mechanism further includes a rolling element. The rolling element is detachably connected to the side of the second positioning member facing the connecting member. The rolling element is used to abut against the connecting member.

[0012] When the connecting member pushes the second positioning member to move, the rolling member abuts against the connecting member and moves from the first contact surface to the second contact surface. Rolling friction reduces friction compared to sliding friction, allowing the second positioning member to move more smoothly from the first contact surface to the second contact surface and also reducing wear on the connecting member. The rolling member and the second positioning member are detachably connected; after prolonged use, the rolling member can be replaced directly.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the unlocking mechanism further includes a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly drives the first positioning member and the second positioning member to move together relative to the second fixture seat along a third direction. The second fixture seat has a positioning hole on one side that supports the first fixture seat. The first positioning member passes through the positioning hole along the third direction and is detachably connected to the first pushing member. The second positioning member passes through the positioning hole along the third direction and is detachably connected to the third pushing member. The third direction intersects with both the first and second directions.

[0014] When the vehicle needs to be removed from the second fixture, the lifting assembly drives the first and second positioning members to move along a third direction, separating the first positioning member from the first pushing member and the second positioning member from the third pushing member. The vehicle can then be directly removed from the second fixture without needing to move the entire vehicle away from the second fixture along a third direction, facilitating vehicle removal. When the unlocking mechanism is needed, the lifting assembly first drives the first and second positioning members to move along a third direction, passing them through the positioning holes on the second fixture, before connecting the vehicle and the unlocking mechanism.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage component further includes a connector and a limiting member. The connector is used to drive the first positioning member and the second positioning member to move simultaneously. The limiting member has a first limiting groove, a second limiting groove, and a third limiting groove on the side facing the second fixture seat. The connector is accommodated in the first limiting groove, which is used to stop the movement of the connector in a second direction. The first positioning member is accommodated in the second limiting groove, which is used to stop the movement of the first positioning member in a second direction. The second positioning member is accommodated in the third limiting groove, which is used to stop the movement of the second positioning member in a first direction. Both the second and third limiting grooves are connected to the first limiting groove.

[0016] The first limiting groove can constrain the connecting piece to move along the first direction, the second limiting groove constrains the first positioning piece to move along the first direction, and the third limiting groove constrains the second positioning piece to move along the second direction. The structure of the limiting groove can further guide the movement direction of the connecting piece, the first positioning piece, and the second positioning piece, thereby ensuring that the movement trajectories of the connecting piece, the first positioning piece, and the second positioning piece are accurate and stable as much as possible.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the lifting assembly includes a lifting drive. The lifting drive is connected to a limiting member to drive the limiting member, a connecting member disposed on the limiting member, a first positioning member, and a second positioning member to move together in a third direction.

[0018] In this way, the lifting drive can directly drive the limiting member to move along the third direction, without affecting the movement of the first positioning member in the first direction and the movement of the second positioning member in the second direction.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the lifting assembly further includes a guide rail and a slider. Both the guide rail and the slider extend along a third direction. The slider is slidably connected to the guide rail along the third direction. The guide rail is fixedly disposed on the side of the second fixture seat opposite to the first fixture seat. The slider and the limiting member are fixedly connected.

[0020] In this way, the guide rail and slider further guide the movement of the limiting member in the third direction, so as to further ensure that the movement of the first positioning member and the second positioning member relative to the second fixture seat in the third direction is accurate and stable.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the carrier further includes a first stop and a second stop. The first and second stops are fixedly mounted on a first fixture base. The first stop restricts the movement range of the movable first abutment member along a first direction. The second stop restricts the movement range of the movable third abutment member along a second direction.

[0022] The first stop can constrain the movement range of the first pusher in the first direction, and the second stop can constrain the movement range of the third pusher in the second direction, thereby constraining the range of movement of the first positioning member driving the first pusher and the second positioning member driving the second pusher, thus facilitating the clamping or releasing of materials and improving the working efficiency of the unlocking mechanism.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, both the first stop and the second stop include a stop portion. A first elastic member is disposed between the stop portion of the first stop and the first pushing member. One end of the first elastic member abuts against the stop portion of the first stop and the other end abuts against the first pushing member, thereby compressing the first elastic member. A second elastic member is disposed between the stop portion of the second stop and the third pushing member. One end of the second elastic member abuts against the stop portion of the second stop and the other end abuts against the third pushing member, thereby compressing the second elastic member.

[0024] The two ends of the first elastic element abut against the stop part of the first stop and the first pushing part, respectively. The two ends of the second elastic element abut against the stop part of the second stop and the third pushing part, respectively. When it is necessary to replace the first elastic element and the second elastic element, they can be removed by compressing the first elastic element and the second elastic element, which is convenient to operate.

[0030] The definitions of "first direction", "second direction" and "third direction" are for the purpose of describing the relative positional relationship of related structures, and do not mean that "first direction", "second direction" and "third direction" need to depend on the related structures involved in the above definitions.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” and “fourth,” etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is considered to be "located" on another component, it can be directly located on the other component or there may be an intervening component present.

[0033] This application provides a material loading device, including a carrier and an unlocking mechanism. The carrier is used to clamp materials. The carrier includes a first fixture base, a first clamping assembly, and a second clamping assembly. Both the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are disposed on the first fixture base. The first clamping assembly includes a first pushing member, a second pushing member, and a first elastic member. The first pushing member is movably disposed on the first fixture base. The first elastic member is used to drive the first pushing member to approach the second pushing member along a first direction. The first and second pushing members are used to clamp materials along the first direction. The second clamping assembly includes a third pushing member, a fourth pushing member, and a second elastic member. The third pushing member is movably disposed on the first fixture base. The second elastic member is used to drive the third pushing member to approach the fourth pushing member along a second direction. The third and fourth pushing members are used to clamp materials along the second direction. The first and second directions intersect. The unlocking mechanism includes a second fixture base, a first positioning member, a second positioning member, and a linkage assembly. The second fixture base is used to support the first fixture base. Both the first and second positioning members are movably disposed on the second fixture base. The first positioning member is detachably connected to the first pushing member, and the first positioning member is used to move relative to the first fixture seat in a first direction to drive the first pushing member to move in the first direction. The second positioning member is detachably connected to the third pushing member, and the second positioning member is used to move relative to the first fixture seat in a second direction to drive the third pushing member to move in the second direction. A linkage assembly is used to connect the first positioning member and the second positioning member, and to make the first positioning member and the second positioning member move simultaneously.

[0034] When the carrier needs to clamp materials, it is placed on the second fixture seat. The first positioning member and the first pushing member are connected, and the second positioning member and the third pushing member are connected. Under the action of the linkage assembly, the first positioning member moves along the first direction and drives the first pushing member to move along the first direction. At the same time, the second positioning member moves along the second direction and drives the third pushing member to move along the second direction. In this way, the first pushing member moves away from the second pushing member along the first direction, and the third pushing member moves away from the fourth pushing member along the second direction. The first elastic member and the second elastic member are compressed simultaneously. Then, the material is placed between the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly, and the carrier is removed from the second fixture seat. The first positioning member is no longer connected to the first pushing member, and the second positioning member is no longer connected to the third pushing member. The first elastic member is released and drives the first pushing member to move toward the material, and the third elastic member is released and drives the third pushing member to move toward the material, thereby clamping the material. When material needs to be removed from the carrier, the carrier and unlocking mechanism are installed. First, the first positioning component and the first pushing component are connected, and the second positioning component and the third pushing component are connected. Then, under the action of the linkage component, the first pushing component moves away from the material along the first direction, and the third pushing component moves away from the material along the second direction. In this way, the first clamping component and the second clamping component no longer clamp the material, and the material can be removed without damaging its surrounding appearance. Whether clamping or releasing material, only one operation is required through the linkage component, which allows the first and third pushing components to simultaneously move closer to or further away from the material, improving the efficiency of material clamping and release, and making it convenient for single-person operation.

[0035] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6One embodiment of this application provides a material loading device 100, including a carrier 200 and an unlocking mechanism 300. The carrier 200 is used to clamp materials. The carrier 200 includes a first fixture base 1, a first clamping assembly 2, and a second clamping assembly 3. Both the first clamping assembly 2 and the second clamping assembly 3 are disposed on the first fixture base 1. The first clamping assembly 2 includes a first pushing member 21, a second pushing member 22, and a first elastic member 23. The first pushing member 21 is movably disposed on the first fixture base 1. The first elastic member 23 is used to drive the first pushing member 21 to move closer to the second pushing member 22 along a first direction X. The first pushing member 21 and the second pushing member 22 are used to clamp materials along the first direction X. The second clamping assembly 3 includes a third pushing member 31, a fourth pushing member 32, and a second elastic member 34. The third pushing member 31 is movably disposed on the first fixture base 1. The second elastic member 34 is used to drive the third pushing member 31 to move closer to the fourth pushing member 32 along a second direction Y. The third pushing member 31 and the fourth pushing member 32 are used to clamp materials along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. The unlocking mechanism 300 includes a second fixture seat 6, a first positioning member 71, a second positioning member 72, and a linkage assembly 8. The second fixture seat 6 is used to support the first fixture seat 1. The first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 are both movably disposed on the second fixture seat 6. The first positioning member 71 is detachably connected to the first pushing member 21, and the first positioning member 71 is used to move relative to the first fixture seat 1 along the first direction X to drive the first pushing member 21 to move along the first direction X. The second positioning member 72 is detachably connected to the third pushing member 31, and the second positioning member 72 is used to move relative to the first fixture seat 1 along the second direction Y to drive the third pushing member 31 to move along the second direction Y. The linkage assembly 8 is used to connect the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72, and to make the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 move simultaneously.

[0037] When the carrier 200 needs to clamp materials, the carrier 200 is placed on the second fixture seat 6. The first positioning member 71 is connected to the first pushing member 21, and the second positioning member 72 is connected to the third pushing member 31. Under the action of the linkage component 8, the first positioning member 71 moves along the first direction X and drives the first pushing member 21 to move along the first direction X. At the same time, the second positioning member 72 moves along the second direction Y and drives the third pushing member 31 to move along the second direction Y. In this way, the first pushing member 21 moves away from the second pushing member 22 along the first direction X, and the third pushing member 31 moves away from the fourth pushing member 32 along the second direction Y. The first elastic member 23 and the second elastic member 34 are compressed at the same time. Then, the material is placed between the first clamping assembly 2 and the second clamping assembly 3, and the carrier 200 is removed from the second fixture seat 6. The first positioning member 71 is no longer connected to the first pushing member 21, the second positioning member 72 is no longer connected to the third pushing member 31, the first elastic member 23 is released and drives the first pushing member 21 to move toward the material, and the third elastic member 35 is released and drives the third pushing member 31 to move toward the material, thereby clamping the material. When material needs to be removed from the carrier 200, the carrier 200 is installed with the unlocking mechanism 300. First, the first positioning member 71 and the first pushing member 21 are connected, and the second positioning member 72 and the third pushing member 31 are connected. Then, under the action of the linkage component 8, the first pushing member 21 moves away from the material along the first direction X, and the third pushing member 31 moves away from the material along the second direction Y. In this way, the first clamping component 2 and the second clamping component 3 no longer clamp the material, and the material can be removed without damaging its appearance. Whether clamping or releasing the material, only one operation is required through the linkage component 8, which allows the first pushing member 21 and the third pushing member 31 to simultaneously move closer to or further away from the material, improving the efficiency of material clamping and release, and making it convenient for single-person operation.

[0038] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the linkage component 8 includes a connector 81. The connector 81 has a first contact surface 811, a second contact surface 812, and a connecting surface 813 on the side facing the second positioning member 72. Along the second direction Y, the second contact surface 812 is closer to the second positioning member 72 than the first contact surface 811. The first contact surface 811, the connecting surface 813, and the second contact surface 812 are sequentially connected along the first direction X. When the connector 81 moves along the first direction X and toward the first positioning member 71, the first positioning member 71 abuts against the connector 81, and the connector 81 pushes the first positioning member 71 so that the first positioning member 71 drives the first pushing member 21 to move away from the second pushing member 22. Simultaneously, the second positioning member 72 abuts against the connector 81 and moves from the first contact surface 811 to the second contact surface 812, and the connector 81 pushes the second positioning member 72 so that the third pushing member 31 moves away from the fourth pushing member 32.

[0039] Thus, when the connecting member 81 moves along the first direction X and toward the first positioning member 71, the connecting member 81 and the first positioning member 71 abut against each other, and the second positioning member 72 abuts against the first contact surface 811. The connecting member 81 continues to move along the first direction X and pushes the first positioning member 71 to move away from the material. At the same time, the second positioning member 72 moves from the first contact surface 811 to the connecting surface 813 until it abuts against the second contact surface 812. The first pushing member 21 and the third pushing member 31 can then open simultaneously to clamp or release the material. Figure 4 As shown, the connecting surface 813 is inclined in the second direction Y.

[0040] In some embodiments, when the connector 81 moves along the first direction X and away from the first positioning member 71, the first pushing member 21 moves along the first direction X toward the second pushing member 22 under the drive of the first elastic member 23, and drives the first positioning member 71 to move in the same direction. At the same time, the third pushing member 31 moves along the second direction Y toward the fourth pushing member 32 under the drive of the second elastic member 34, and drives the second positioning member 72 to move in the same direction.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 Under the action of the connector 81, the first positioning member 71 drives the first pushing member 21 away from the second pushing member 22, and the second positioning member 72 simultaneously drives the third pushing member 31 away from the fourth pushing member 32. When the material is placed on the first fixture seat 1, the connector 81 will move away from the first positioning member 71 along the first direction X. At this time, the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 will not move with the connector 81. At the same time, the first elastic member 23 and the second elastic member 34 are no longer subjected to the force that compresses them. The release of the first elastic member 23 drives the first pushing member 21 to move towards the second pushing member 22, and the first positioning member 71 is simultaneously driven by the first pushing member 21 to move towards the connector 81; the release of the second elastic member 34 drives the third pushing member 31 to move towards the fourth pushing member 32, and the second positioning member 72 is simultaneously driven by the third pushing member 31 to move towards the connector 81. In this way, the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 can return to their initial positions. The next time material needs to be clamped or released, the connecting member 81 moves along the first direction X, which in turn moves the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72, so that the first clamping assembly 2 and the second clamping assembly 3 open. Whether clamping or releasing material, the operation logic of the unlocking mechanism 300 is consistent.

[0042] In some embodiments, the unlocking mechanism 300 further includes a roller 75. The roller 75 is detachably connected to the side of the second positioning member 72 facing the connector 81. The roller 75 is used to abut against the connector 81.

[0043] When the connecting member 81 pushes the second positioning member 72 to move, the rolling member 75 abuts against the connecting member 81 and moves from the first contact surface 811 to the second contact surface 812. Rolling friction reduces friction compared to sliding friction, allowing the second positioning member 72 to move more smoothly from the first contact surface 811 to the second contact surface 812, and also slowing down the wear of the connecting member 81. The rolling member 75 and the second positioning member 72 are detachably connected; after prolonged use, the rolling member 75 can be directly replaced.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first positioning member 71 includes a first positioning portion 711 and a first linkage portion 712 connected together. The first positioning portion 711 and the first pushing member 21 are detachably connected. The second positioning member 72 includes a second positioning portion 721 and a second linkage portion 722 connected together. The second positioning portion 721 and the third pushing member 31 are detachably connected. The connecting member 81 is used to drive the first linkage portion 712 and the second linkage portion 722 to move simultaneously, so that the first positioning portion 711 and the second positioning portion 721 move simultaneously.

[0045] Thus, the first positioning part 711 is used to position the first pushing member 21 and drive the first pushing member 21 to move along the first direction X, and the second positioning part 721 is used to position the third pushing member 31 and drive the third pushing member 31 to move along the second direction Y; the first linkage part 712 and the second linkage part 722 are used to transmit the action of the connecting member 81, so that the first pushing member 21 and the third pushing member 31 move together.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first positioning part 711 extends along a third direction Z, and the first linkage part 712 extends along a first direction X; the second positioning part 721 extends along a third direction Z, and the second linkage part 722 extends along a second direction Y. Thus, the first positioning member 71 can move along a third direction Z or along the first direction X; the second positioning member 72 can move along a third direction Z or along the second direction Y.

[0047] The first positioning part 711 and the second positioning part 721 can be in the form of a positioning pin, and the first linkage part 712 and the second linkage part 722 can be a sheet-like structure, with the positioning pin connected to the sheet-like structure; alternatively, the first positioning part 711 and the first linkage part 712, and the second positioning part 721 and the second linkage part 722 can be integrally formed. Figure 3As shown, both the second linkage part 722 and the first linkage part 712 have detachable rolling elements 75 on the side facing the connector 81. The rolling element 75 on the second linkage part 722 provides rolling friction, reducing the frictional force of the second linkage part 722 moving between the first contact surface 811 and the second contact surface 812, and slowing down the wear of the connector 81. Although the rolling element 75 on the first linkage part 712 does not rotate, it abuts against the connector 81. After long-term use, it will also wear out. By using the rolling element 75 on the first linkage part 712 to abut against the connector 81, only the rolling element 75 needs to be replaced; there is no need to replace the first linkage part 712 or the first positioning element 71. The first linkage part 712 and the second linkage part 722 can be equipped with rolling elements 75 of the same model and specification, facilitating procurement and replacement.

[0048] In some embodiments, the unlocking mechanism 300 further includes a lifting assembly 9. The lifting assembly 9 is used to drive the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 to move together relative to the second fixture seat 6 along a third direction Z. The second fixture seat 6 has a positioning hole 601 on the side that supports the first fixture seat 1. The first positioning member 71 passes through the positioning hole 601 along the third direction Z and is detachably connected to the first pushing member 21. The second positioning member 72 passes through the positioning hole 601 along the third direction Z and is detachably connected to the third pushing member 31. The third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y in pairs.

[0049] When it is necessary to remove the carrier 200 from the second fixture seat 6, the lifting assembly 9 drives the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 to move along the third direction Z. The first positioning member 71 separates from the first pushing member 21, and the second positioning member 72 separates from the third pushing member 31. The carrier 200 can then be directly removed from the second fixture seat 6 without having to move the entire carrier 200 away from the second fixture seat 6 along the third direction Z, making it convenient to remove the carrier 200. When it is necessary to use the unlocking mechanism 300, the lifting assembly 9 first drives the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 to move along the third direction Z, and the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 pass through the positioning hole 601 on the second fixture seat 6, and then the carrier 200 and the unlocking mechanism 300 are connected. Understandably, the positioning hole 601 through which the first positioning member 71 passes is a strip-shaped hole extending along the first direction X, and the positioning hole 601 through which the second positioning member 72 passes is a strip-shaped hole extending along the second direction Y, so as to allow the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 to slide and make room.

[0050] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, the linkage component 8 further includes a connector 81 and a limiting member 82. The connector 81 is used to drive the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 to move simultaneously. The limiting member 82 has a first limiting groove 821, a second limiting groove 822, and a third limiting groove 823 on the side facing the second fixture seat 6. The connector 81 is accommodated in the first limiting groove 821, which is used to stop the movement of the connector 81 in the second direction Y. The first positioning member 71 is accommodated in the second limiting groove 822, which is used to stop the movement of the first positioning member 71 in the second direction Y. The second positioning member 72 is accommodated in the third limiting groove 823, which is used to stop the movement of the second positioning member 72 in the first direction X. Both the second limiting groove 822 and the third limiting groove 823 are connected to the first limiting groove 821.

[0051] The first limiting groove 821 can constrain the connecting member 81 to move along the first direction X, the second limiting groove 822 constrains the first positioning member 71 to move along the first direction X, and the third limiting groove 823 constrains the second positioning member 72 to move along the second direction Y. The structure of the limiting grooves can further guide the movement direction of the connecting member 81, the first positioning member 71, and the second positioning member 72; thereby ensuring that the respective movement trajectories of the connecting member 81, the first positioning member 71, and the second positioning member 72 are accurate and stable as much as possible. Figure 4 As shown, the limiting member 82 can be a plate-like structure.

[0052] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 9 includes a lifting drive. The lifting drive is connected to the limiting member 82 to drive the limiting member 82, the connecting member 81 disposed on the limiting member 82, the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 to move together along a third direction Z.

[0053] In this way, the lifting drive component can directly drive the limiting component 82 to move along the third direction Z, without affecting the movement of the first positioning component 71 in the first direction X and the movement of the second positioning component 72 in the second direction Y. The lifting drive component can be a cylinder or a drive motor.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 9 further includes a guide rail 91 and a slider 92. Both the guide rail 91 and the slider 92 extend along a third direction Z. The slider 92 is slidably connected to the guide rail 91 along the third direction Z. The guide rail 91 is fixedly disposed on the side of the second fixture seat 6 opposite to the first fixture seat 1. The slider 92 and the limiting member 82 are fixedly connected.

[0055] Thus, the guide rail 91 and slider 92 further guide the movement of the limiting member 82 in the third direction Z, to further ensure that the movement of the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 relative to the second fixture seat 6 in the third direction Z is accurate and stable. Figure 3As shown, two sets of guide rails 91 and sliders 92 are provided on both sides of the limiting member 82 along the first direction X, further enhancing the stability of the first positioning member 71 and the second positioning member 72 relative to the second fixture seat 6 in the third direction Z. Of course, the two sets of guide rails 91 and sliders 92 can also be provided on both sides of the limiting member 82 along the second direction Y.

[0056] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the carrier 200 further includes a first stop 41 and a second stop 42. The first stop 41 and the second stop 42 are fixedly disposed on the first fixture base 1. The first stop 41 is used to restrict the movement range of the movable first push member 21 along the first direction X. The second stop 42 is used to restrict the movement range of the movable third push member 31 along the second direction Y.

[0057] The first stop 41 can constrain the movement range of the first pusher 21 in the first direction X, and the second stop 42 can constrain the movement range of the third pusher 31 in the second direction Y, thereby constraining the range of movement of the first positioning member 71 driving the first pusher 21 and the second positioning member 72 driving the second pusher 22, thus facilitating the clamping or releasing of materials and improving the working efficiency of the unlocking mechanism 300.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the first stop 41 and the second stop 42 can be in the form of a cover plate. The cover plate can cover the elastic elements (including the first elastic element 23 and the second elastic element 34) and the pushing elements (including the first pushing element 21, the second pushing element 22, the third pushing element 31 and the fourth pushing element 32). The side of the cover plate facing the material has a groove for the pushing elements to move. According to the shape of the material, the first stop 41 and the second stop 42 can be shaped to conform to the shape of the material to further clamp and limit the edge of the material.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second pusher 22 is fixedly disposed on the first fixture seat 1, so that the second pusher 22 can serve as a reference block. When material is clamped into the carrier 200, the material is placed into the carrier 200 along the second pusher 22.

[0060] like Figure 6As shown, the second clamping assembly 3 further includes a third elastic member 35, a fourth elastic member 36, and a fifth pushing member 33. The fourth pushing member 32 and the fifth pushing member 33 are movably disposed on the first fixture seat 1. The third elastic member 35 is used to drive the fourth pushing member 32 to move closer to the third pushing member 31 along the second direction Y, and the fourth elastic member 36 is used to drive the fifth pushing member 33 to move along the second direction Y. The unlocking mechanism 300 further includes a third positioning member 73 and a fourth positioning member 74. The third positioning member 73 is detachably connected to the fourth pushing member 32, and the third positioning member 73 is used to move relative to the first fixture seat 1 along the second direction Y to drive the fourth pushing member 32 to move along the second direction Y; the fourth positioning member 74 is detachably connected to the fifth pushing member 33, and the fourth positioning member 74 is used to move relative to the first fixture seat 1 along the second direction Y to drive the fifth pushing member 33 to move along the second direction Y. The unlocking mechanism 300 also includes a first driving member, a second driving member, and a third driving member. The first driving member connects to the connecting member 81 and drives the connecting member 81 to move along the first direction X. Thus, the movement of the first pushing member 21 and the third pushing member 31 is powered by a single driving member. The second driving member connects to the third positioning member 73 and drives the third positioning member 73 to move along the second direction Y. The third driving member connects to the fourth positioning member 74 and drives the fourth positioning member 74 to move along the second direction Y. Since the movement of the first pushing member 21 and the third pushing member 31 is synchronous, their movement distances are also the same. Therefore, by providing power to the third positioning member 73 through an independent second driving member, the movement distance of the fourth pushing member 32 can be different, allowing the carrier 200 to clamp materials of different sizes and proportions, improving the applicability of the carrier 200. The fourth positioning member 74 is also driven by an independent power source, namely the third driving member, allowing the fifth pushing member 33 to further clamp the material in the second direction Y. The first, second, and third driving members can be cylinders or drive motors. The unlocking mechanism 300 also includes a solenoid valve to control the opening and closing of the first drive element, the second drive element, and the third drive element.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, the carrier 200 also includes a support plate 5, which is used to support materials. The support plate 5 is detachably connected to the first fixture seat 1. To ensure smooth movement of the pushing members, the pushing members are not in direct contact with the first fixture seat 1. A gap is provided between the pushing members and the first fixture seat 1 in the third direction Z. To ensure that the pushing members can apply force directly to the edge of the material, a support plate 5 of a certain thickness is installed on the first fixture seat 1. The material is placed on the support plate 5 so that the edge of the material and the pushing members are directly aligned in the first direction X and the second direction Y, ensuring the stability of the material clamped by the first clamping assembly 2 and the second clamping assembly 3. The size of the support plate 5 can be changed according to the size specifications of the material.

[0062] In some embodiments, both the first stop 41 and the second stop 42 include a stop portion. A first elastic member 23 is disposed between the stop portion of the first stop 41 and the first pushing member 21. One end of the first elastic member 23 abuts against the stop portion of the first stop 41, and the other end abuts against the first pushing member 21, thereby compressing the first elastic member 23. A second elastic member 34 is disposed between the stop portion of the second stop 42 and the third pushing member 31. One end of the second elastic member 34 abuts against the stop portion of the second stop 42, and the other end abuts against the third pushing member 31, thereby compressing the second elastic member 34.

[0063] The two ends of the first elastic member 23 abut against the stop portion of the first stop member 41 and the first push member 21, respectively. The two ends of the second elastic member 34 abut against the stop portion of the second stop member 42 and the third push member 31, respectively. When it is necessary to replace the first elastic member 23 and the second elastic member 34, they can be removed by compressing the first elastic member 23 and the second elastic member 34, which is convenient to operate.

[0064] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
