[0041] The present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementations. It is understood that the specific implementations described herein are only used to explain the relevant content, rather than to limit the present disclosure. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0043] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / embodiments shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details of some ways in which the technical concept of the present disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of the various embodiments / embodiments can be combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure.
[0044] The use of cross-hatching and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to make the boundaries between adjacent components clear. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific materials, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the components shown, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the components. In addition, in the accompanying drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of the components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence can be performed in a different order than described. For example, two successively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described order. In addition, the same figure numbers represent the same components.
[0045] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "over," "connected to," or "coupled to" another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components may be present. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components. For this purpose, the term "connected" may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.
[0046] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatially relative terms such as "under," "beneath," "under," "down," "over," "upper," "above," "higher," and "side (e.g., as in "sidewall")," to describe the relationship of one component to another (other) component as shown in the accompanying drawings. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the accompanying drawings. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is turned over, components described as "under" or "beneath" other components or features would subsequently be positioned "over" the other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both the "above" and "below" orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
[0047] The terms used here are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be restrictive. As used here, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one (kind, person)" and "said (the)" are also intended to include plural forms. In addition, when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" and their variations are used in this specification, it is explained that there are stated features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups, but it is not excluded that there are or add one or more other features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups. It should also be noted that, as used here, the terms "substantially", "approximately" and other similar terms are used as approximate terms and not as degree terms, so that they are used to explain the inherent deviations of the measured values, calculated values and / or the values provided that will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0048] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a positioning system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a positioning system 100 at different angles according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present disclosure provides a positioning system 100, which can be applied to the assembly of hinges. Specifically, the positioning system 100 of the present disclosure can position the hinge, thereby assembling one end of the connecting rod to the hinge, and then installing the pin shaft, and assembling the hinge and the connecting rod together.
[0050] In the present disclosure, the positioning system 100 includes: a positioning component 110, a supporting component 120, a floating component 130 and other components.
[0051] The positioning component 110 is used to position the hinge; wherein, when the positioning component is in use, it can be fixed to a component such as a workbench, so that the position of the positioning component 110 in the production line can also be fixed.
[0052] The positioning component 110 includes a vertically arranged plate-shaped component 111 , and a protrusion 112 is formed on the surface of the plate-shaped component 111 close to the floating component 130 . That is, except for the protrusion 112 , the surface of the plate-shaped component 111 close to the floating component 130 can be formed into a substantially planar structure.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the protrusion 112 includes an upper surface. In the present disclosure, the upper surface of the protrusion 112 can be formed into a stepped surface, that is, the upper surface of the protrusion 112 and the surface of the plate-like component 111 close to the floating component 130 are at a preset angle, and the preset angle is preferably 90°, so that a step is formed between the upper surface of the protrusion 112 and the surface of the plate-like component 111 close to the floating component 130. In a specific embodiment, the upper surface of the protrusion 112 can be formed into a curved surface shape that matches the hinge, so that the positioning of the hinge can be more stable.
[0054] The supporting component 120 is used to support the hinge from below; the floating component 130 includes a first floating portion 131 and a second floating portion 132 vertically arranged, the first floating portion 131 and the second floating portion 132 are respectively located on both sides of the supporting component 120, and there is an accommodating space between the first floating portion 131 and the positioning component 110, and between the second floating portion 132 and the positioning component 110; wherein at least part of the hinge is located in the accommodating space; thereby, the hinge can be positioned.
[0055] More specifically, the floating assembly 130 includes a first vertical position and a second vertical position. When the floating assembly 130 is located in the first vertical position, the floating assembly 130 is used to position the hinge. When the floating attachment is located in the second vertical position, the floating assembly 130 can release the hinge.
[0056] Even if the floating assembly 130 has a first vertical position and a second vertical position, it does not mean that the floating assembly 130 can only move in the vertical direction. It only needs to move along a certain inclination angle and reach different heights.
[0057] In the present disclosure, the first vertical position is a position higher than the second vertical position, and more preferably, the floating assembly 130 can be driven by a linear motion structure (such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a ball screw structure) to achieve lifting and lowering motion. That is, when the floating assembly 130 is driven to move upward, it can move from the second vertical position to the first vertical position, and in the opposite working process, when the floating assembly 130 is driven to move downward, it can move from the first vertical position to the second vertical position.
[0058] In the present disclosure, the accommodation space is limited by the positioning component 110 and the floating component 130. Specifically, the portion of the surface of the plate-like component 111 close to the floating component 130 defines at least a portion of the side wall of the accommodation space, the upper surface of the protrusion 112 defines the bottom wall of the accommodation space, and the surface of the floating component 130 close to the positioning component 110 defines at least a portion of the side wall of the accommodation space, so that the hinge can be stably maintained in the accommodation space, and at this time, at least a portion of the hinge is supported by the step surface (i.e., by the protrusion 112).
[0059] In one embodiment, the floating component 130 is spaced apart from the protruding portion 112. Those skilled in the art should know that since the floating component 130 can generate lifting motion, while the protruding portion 112 does not move, correspondingly, the floating component 130 and the protruding portion 112 can generate relative motion. At this time, the floating component 130 and the protruding portion 112 are spaced apart, and the movement of the floating component 130 will not affect the protruding portion 112. In a preferred embodiment, the size of the space is small, for example, it can be maintained within 5 mm, so that a large gap will not be generated between the floating component 130 and the protruding portion 112, thereby affecting the positioning of the hinge.
[0060] The hinge disclosed in the present invention is a structure in the prior art, and for example may include a left through hole and / or a right through hole.
[0061] At this time, a left protrusion 113 and a right protrusion 114 are formed on the surface of the positioning component 110 close to the floating component 130 (i.e., the side wall of the accommodating space), and the left protrusion 113 is used to cooperate with the left through hole of the hinge, and the right protrusion 114 is used to cooperate with the right through hole of the hinge.
[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the left protrusion 113 and the right protrusion 114 can be formed as cylindrical protrusions, and the ends of the left protrusion 113 and the right protrusion 114 away from the plate-like part 111 can be chamfered, so that the left protrusion 113 and the right protrusion 114 can be smoothly inserted into the left through hole and the right through hole of the hinge.
[0063] In the present disclosure, the positioning system 100 also includes: a positioning device 140, which can be in a first lateral position and a second lateral position. When the positioning device 140 is in the first lateral position, the hinge is positioned by the positioning device 140; when the positioning device 140 is in the second lateral position, the positioning device 140 releases the hinge.
[0064] Although the positioning device 140 has a first lateral position and a second lateral position, it does not mean that the positioning device 140 can only move in the horizontal direction. It can move in a direction that is at a certain angle to the horizontal direction as long as the movement can change the position of the positioning device 140 in the lateral direction.
[0065] In a specific embodiment, the positioning device 140 may include a driving device 141 and a positioning member 142. In the present disclosure, the driving device 141 is used to provide a driving force; and the driving device 141 is supported by a support 143, and the support 143 can also be set on a workbench. In one embodiment, the driving device 141 can be a cylinder.
[0066] In the present disclosure, a guide groove is provided on the support 143 , and the positioning member 142 is slidably disposed in the guide groove, thereby guiding the movement of the positioning member 142 between the first lateral position and the second lateral position through the guide groove of the support 143 .
[0067] The positioning member 142 is disposed on the driving device 141, and the driving force provided by the driving device 141 enables the positioning member 142 to move between the first lateral position and the second lateral position, thereby enabling the positioning member 142 to approach or move away from the hinge. Specifically, when the positioning member 142 is located at the first lateral position, at least a portion of the positioning member 142 is inserted into the hinge, and the hinge is positioned by the positioning member 142; on the other hand, when the positioning member 142 is located at the second lateral position, the positioning member 142 can move away from the hinge and release the hinge.
[0068] In other words, the first transverse position is a position where the positioning member 142 is inserted into the hinge, and the second transverse position is a position where the positioning member 142 is away from the hinge.
[0069] In the present disclosure, the hinge includes an upper through hole and a lower through hole located on the same axis, and the positioning member 142 includes a notch, the opening width of the notch is greater than the diameter of the upper through hole and the lower through hole of the hinge.
[0070] In a preferred embodiment, a detection sensor 150 is disposed on the second positioning component 110 , and the presence of the hinge is determined by the detection sensor 150 .
[0071] When the positioning system of the present invention is in use, the floating assembly 130 is in the second vertical position. At this time, the hinge can be placed on the protrusion 112 using a robotic arm or manually, and the hinge is supported by the supporting component 120 at the same time. The left through hole and the right through hole on the hinge are correspondingly arranged in the left protrusion 113 and the right protrusion 114, and the initial positioning of the hinge is achieved.
[0072] Then, the positioning device 140 is controlled to start, and the hinge is repositioned through the positioning member 142; then, the floating assembly 130 is controlled to rise, so as to achieve all-round positioning of the hinge.
[0073] In the present disclosure, during the process of assembling the hinge, the driving device 141 is operated to move the positioning component 110 away from the hinge, thereby ensuring that the positioning device 140 does not affect the normal assembly work during the assembly process.
[0074] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment / method", "some embodiments / methods", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment / method or example are included in at least one embodiment / method or example of the present application.
