[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a flexible chassis combined with a pallet includes a support plate 1 and a plurality of groups of flexible switching positioning pins 2 mounted on the support plate 1, wherein the flexible switching positioning pins 2 include: Figure 2 As shown:

[0043] Inner conical base 21;

[0044] An outer conical latch pin 22 rotatably connected to the inner conical base 21;

[0045] A retractable assembly positioning pin 23 is connected to the inside of the outer conical plug pin 22 and one end of which protrudes from the top of the outer conical plug pin 22.

[0046] In this embodiment, the inner conical base 21 has an inner groove 211 that crosses the two sides of the inner conical base 21, and the top of the inner groove 211 is a conical groove 212;

[0047] The outer conical plug 22 includes a plug body 221, a truncated cone 222 connected to the bottom of the plug body 221, and an insert block 223 connected to the bottom of the truncated cone 222. The diameter of the lower surface of the truncated cone 222 is smaller than the diameter of the upper surface.

[0048] In this embodiment, it should be noted that: Figure 1 The flexible switching positioning pin 2 in the figure is a schematic diagram in which the working state and the overturned state of the outer conical pin 22 are concentrated in the same figure, rather than having two outer conical pins 22 on the inner conical base 21.

[0049] In this embodiment, the insert block 223 is inserted into the inner slot 211 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the tapered opening 212 and the truncated cone 222 have the same tapered opening angle and the same size, and the tapered opening angle is 67°.

[0051] In this embodiment, a slide groove 229 is provided at the bottom of the outer conical plug pin 22, and a rotating shaft 3 passes through the slide groove 229 and the inner conical base 21, and the rotating shaft 3 can move along the slide groove 229, and the outer conical plug pin 22 rotates around the rotating shaft 3. When the rotating shaft 3 is located at the bottom of the slide groove 229, the conical slot 212 is separated from the truncated cone 222, and under the action of pressure, the outer conical plug pin 22 moves downward, the rotating shaft 3 is located at the top of the slide groove 229, and the conical slot 212 is fitted with the truncated cone 222.

[0052] In this embodiment, a rotation axis 3 passes through the bottom of the outer conical plug pin 22 and the inner conical base 21 , and the outer conical plug pin 22 rotates around the rotation axis 3 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the outer tapered plug pin 22 is -90° to 90°.

[0054] In this embodiment, a limiting member 4 is provided below the rotating shaft 3 and passes through the outer conical plug pin 22 . The limiting member 4 includes a limiting shaft 41 and a clamping plate 42 fixed at one end of the limiting shaft 41 .

[0055] In this embodiment, a through hole 224 is provided inside the outer conical plug pin 22 , a spring 225 is provided at the bottom of the through hole 224 , and the assembly positioning pin 23 is inserted into the through hole 224 and is located above the spring 225 .

[0056] In this embodiment, a cover plate 227 is fixed to the top of the through hole 224 , and the cover plate 227 is located around the assembly positioning pin 23 .

[0057] In this embodiment, a shaft sleeve 228 is provided between the assembly positioning pin 23 and the cover plate 227 .

[0058] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 226 is connected to the bottom of the cover plate 227 , and the connecting rod 226 is located inside the assembly positioning pin 23 . When the assembly positioning pin 23 moves upward, the connecting rod 226 passes through the inside of the spring 225 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the inner conical base 21 is the support of the entire flexible switching positioning pin 2, responsible for accuracy and load-bearing; the outer conical plug pin 22 is the main force-bearing part, responsible for accuracy and load-bearing; the assembly positioning pin 23 requires high strength and high wear resistance. The rotating shaft 3 is responsible for the rotation of the inner conical base 21 and the flexible switching positioning pin 2 when performing flexible switching, and the clamping plate 42 is used to position the rotating shaft 3.

[0060] In this embodiment, the inner conical base 21 and the outer conical plug pin 22 are processed by CNC.

[0061] In this embodiment, a support block 11 is installed on one side of the flexible switching positioning pin 2 to support the flexible switching positioning pin 2 when the flexible switching positioning pin 2 falls over.

[0062] The working process and working principle of the flexible chassis combined pallet are as follows:

[0063] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, Figure 4 for Figure 3 The enlarged schematic diagram of the middle part shows that in the working state, the outer conical plug 22 does not flip, the assembly positioning pin 23 faces upward, the connecting rod 226 is at a certain distance from the spring 225, the spring 225 is tightened, and the assembly positioning pin 23 loads and positions the vehicle part. Since the assembly positioning pin 23 is inserted into the through hole 224 of the outer conical plug 22, and the assembly positioning pin 23 is in close contact with the through hole 224, the assembly positioning pin 23 will transfer the pressure to the outer conical plug 22 under the pressure of the vehicle part. Since the conical slot 212 and the cone 222 have the same angle and size, the outer conical plug 22 descends to make the rotating shaft 3 located at the top of the slide groove 229, and the conical slot 212 fits with the cone 222. Under the action of pressure, the outer conical plug 22 and the inner conical base 21 will fit with high precision around the central axis.

[0064] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in the actual production process, several groups of flexible switching positioning pins 2 are installed on the support plate for flexible switching. For the switching of a single flexible switching positioning pin 2, the vehicle parts are loosened, the assembled positioning pin 23 is in a state of unstressed loading, the spring 225 is loosened, and the connecting rod 26 extends into the middle of the spring 225. Under the action of the spring 225, the outer conical plug 22 extends out of the through hole 224, and the flexible switching positioning pin 2 moves upward by gravity. At this time, the outer conical plug 22 is lifted, and the truncated table 222 leaves the conical slot 212. Under the action of gravity, the outer conical plug 22 tilts toward the side supported by the support block 11, the rotating shaft 3 rotates, and the clamping plate 42 is positioned to limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 3 to 90°, completing the tipping of the flexible switching positioning pin.

[0065] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and use of the utility model by those skilled in the art. It is obvious that those familiar with the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the utility model without departing from the scope of the utility model should be within the scope of protection of the utility model.
