Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for automobile parts processing, in particular to a product centering marking device which can reduce the influence of tolerance. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automobile industry and the improvement of people's requirements for automobile quality, high-precision parts processing has become the main technical requirement of the automobile parts market. At present, most long strip parts such as automobile front anti-collision beams and door sills are bilaterally symmetrical. In order to ensure the symmetry of parts, the parts will use the center line of the product as the main positioning reference to process the rest of the position, or directly process the main positioning hole on the center of the part. No matter which method is used, the clamping position of the product must be centered. Therefore, a stable centering device is an important guarantee for the processing accuracy of the product.

[0003] At present, the commonly used centering method for long strip parts generally adopts a section to set a reference block, push one end of the part into the reference block, and use cylinders and other actuators to drive the center positioning block for movable positioning at the other end. This can meet the needs of product loading on the one hand, and offset the influence of inaccurate limit caused by product length fluctuation on the other hand. However, the current positioning method has the following problems: there are fluctuations in the length tolerance of long strip parts when they are incoming. If the length of the product is longer or shorter than the theoretical length, this method can still ensure that the product is limited in the length direction, but it cannot ensure the center positioning of the product after clamping. The center position of the product will change with the fluctuation of the actual incoming length of the product, and the accuracy and consistency of its center positioning position cannot be guaranteed.

[0004] In view of the above problems, this patent develops an automatic centering device to solve the problem of inaccurate clamping centering position caused by fluctuations in the length of incoming product parts. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model provides a product centering marking device which can reduce the influence of tolerance and can avoid the problem of inaccurate centering caused by tolerance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 The utility model includes a workbench 1, a left positioning mechanism 2, a right positioning mechanism 3, a punching mechanism 4 and a clamping mechanism 5. The left positioning mechanism 2 and the right positioning mechanism 3 are symmetrically arranged on the workbench 1, the clamping mechanism 5 is fixed on the workbench 1, the punching mechanism 4 is arranged on the side between the left positioning mechanism 2 and the right positioning mechanism 3, the left positioning mechanism 2 and the right positioning mechanism 3 are provided with a base 6, a top plate 7 and a spring 11 assembly 8, the base 6 is fixed on the workbench 1, one side of the spring 11 assembly 8 is connected to the base 6, and the other end pushes the top plate 7 toward the middle. When working, the workpiece is clamped between the left positioning mechanism 2 and the right positioning mechanism 3, and then the spring 11 assembly 8 on both sides presses the top plate 7, the top plate 7 clamps the workpiece in the middle, and then the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the workpiece to fix it, and finally the punching mechanism 4 can punch the middle of the workpiece. Since the position of the base 6 remains unchanged, the elasticity of the spring 11 assemblies 8 on the left and right sides is the same, so that after the workpieces of different lengths are clamped between the top plates 7, their center positions will not change, thereby meeting the consistency of the center positions of workpieces of different lengths within the tolerance range, and ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the punching mechanism 4 in punching the center reference hole.

[0018] The spring 11 assembly 8 of the left positioning mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 9, a push plate 10, a spring 11, a stopper 12 and a mounting column 13. The bottom of the mounting plate 9 is fixed on the base 6 on the left side. Four mounting columns 13 are provided at the four corners of the mounting plate 9. A through hole is provided on the mounting plate 9. One end of the mounting column 13 is connected to the push plate 10, and the other end is connected to the stopper 12 after passing through the through hole. The stopper 12 ensures that the mounting column 13 always slides in the through hole. The spring 11 is sleeved outside the mounting column 13, and the top plate 7 is fixed on the push plate 10. In this way, the spring 11 can be ensured to stably press the push plate 10, and the stability of the push plate 10 pushing the top plate 7 can be ensured, so that the top plate 7 can move stably left and right to avoid deviation, thereby improving the stability of clamping the workpiece.

[0019] The right positioning mechanism 3 also includes a feed cylinder 14 and a limit plate 16. The feed cylinder 14 is fixed on the workbench 1. The cylinder rod of the feed cylinder 14 is connected to the mounting plate 9. The limit plate 16 is fixed on the base 6 and is arranged on the left side of the right mounting plate 9. The position of the limit plate 16 is a fixed reference position. The feed cylinder 14 contracts before loading the workpiece, and then the workpiece is placed between the left and right top plates 7. The feed cylinder 14 pushes the mounting plate 9 to the position of the limit plate 16, indicating that the clamping is in place, and then the clamping mechanism 5 and the punching mechanism 4 can work. The punching operation position of the punching mechanism 4 is set at the midpoint of the distance between the left mounting plate 9 and the right mounting plate 9 when it is close to the base 6. The stability of the centering is guaranteed.

[0020] The spring 11 assembly 8 is connected to the top plate 7 to achieve elastic positioning, and the preload force of the springs 11 on both sides is adjusted to be the same, so as to complete the compensation for the length fluctuation of the workpiece, that is, regardless of the positive or negative fluctuation of the workpiece length, the workpiece can be clamped in the center, thereby eliminating the influence of the length tolerance fluctuation on the symmetry accuracy of the finished part.

[0021] The method of fixed elastic positioning on one side and movable elastic positioning on the other side is adopted to ensure that there is enough space when loading, ensuring smooth loading and unloading. At the same time, a limit plate 16 is set to ensure that after the loading is completed, the movable elastic positioning position is unique, so that the stability of the centering position of the spring 11 component 8 is guaranteed while completing the loading and unloading space. The structure is simple and reliable.

[0022] During operation, the air cylinder 14 contracts before loading the workpiece, and then the workpiece is placed between the left and right top plates 7. The air cylinder 14 pushes the mounting plate 9 to the position of the limit plate 16. Since the spring 11 components 8 are arranged on the left and right sides, the forces acting on the left and right sides of the workpiece are consistent, and the compression amount of the spring 11 is consistent. Workpieces of different lengths within the tolerance range can be located in the middle of the two mounting plates 9, and then the clamping mechanism 5 and the punching mechanism 4 can work.

[0023] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
