Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pallets, in particular to a combined pallet for fixing and positioning tooling. Background Art
[0002] In modern manufacturing, the popularity of automated processing lines has greatly improved production efficiency and product quality. However, modular pallets with fixed positioning tooling face several technical challenges in achieving this goal. These challenges mainly focus on the pallet's batch processing capacity, electronic information recognition capability, and workpiece positioning accuracy, which restricts the further optimization and upgrading of automated production lines.
[0003] Existing modular pallet designs often focus on the positioning and fixation of a single workpiece, ignoring the application efficiency in multi-variety, high-volume production scenarios. The combination of traditional pallet structures and positioning fixtures is difficult to adapt to rapid product switching and high-frequency workpiece replacement, resulting in extended production cycles and low equipment utilization, which affects overall production efficiency and economic benefits. In addition, the lack of standardized and modular design concepts requires customized adjustments when pallets are faced with workpieces of different sizes and shapes, further limiting their scope of application in large-scale automated production.
[0004] Current modular pallets generally lack effective electronic information identification methods and cannot form efficient data interaction with other intelligent devices on the automated processing line. This is not only reflected in the lack of information storage and reading functions of the pallet itself, but also in the information isolation between the automated control system, material management system, and production scheduling software. The lack of intelligent identification capabilities means that the position, status, and historical processing information of the pallet on the automated production line cannot be tracked and recorded in real time, resulting in a lack of necessary data support for the adjustment and optimization of the production plan, while also increasing the risk of human error and reducing the transparency and controllability of the production process.
[0005] Traditional modular pallets often use mechanical positioning methods to position workpieces, relying on the precise coordination of physical structures such as pins and fixtures. However, after long-term use and wear, the positioning accuracy of this positioning method will gradually decrease. Especially under high-precision processing requirements, small positioning errors may also cause large fluctuations in product quality. In addition, the lack of intelligent calibration and compensation mechanisms makes it difficult for the pallet to adjust positioning parameters in real time to ensure the processing consistency of the workpiece when facing factors such as temperature changes and material deformation, thus affecting the quality and reliability of the final product.
[0006] Therefore, how to provide a modular pallet for fixing and positioning tooling is a problem that those skilled in the art need to solve urgently. Utility Model Content

An information storage card can be used to identify the code of the current pallet to facilitate consistency management of "pallet-type of workpiece being processed"; a positioning pull pin is used for precise positioning and fixing to an automated processing machine tool; an orientation identification pin can cooperate with a machine vision recognition system to identify the orientation and type of a universal pallet to confirm whether the installation direction and position of the workpiece being processed are correct, so as to prevent foolish management.

These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.
[0023] In modern manufacturing, the popularity of automated processing lines has greatly improved production efficiency and product quality. However, modular pallets with fixed positioning tooling face several technical challenges in achieving this goal. These challenges mainly focus on the pallet's batch processing capacity, electronic information recognition capability, and workpiece positioning accuracy, which restricts the further optimization and upgrading of automated production lines.
[0024] Existing modular pallet designs often focus on the positioning and fixation of a single workpiece, ignoring the application efficiency in multi-variety, mass production scenarios. The combination of traditional pallet structures and positioning fixtures is difficult to adapt to rapid product switching and high-frequency workpiece replacement, resulting in extended production cycles and low equipment utilization, which affects overall production efficiency and economic benefits; in addition, the lack of standardized and modular design concepts requires customized adjustments when facing workpieces of different sizes and shapes, further limiting its application scope in large-scale automated production.
[0025] Current modular pallets generally lack effective electronic information recognition methods and cannot form efficient data interaction with other intelligent devices on the automated processing line. This is not only reflected in the lack of information storage and reading functions on the pallet itself, but also in the information isolation between the automated control system, material management system and production scheduling software. The lack of intelligent recognition capabilities means that the position, status and historical processing information of the pallet on the automated production line cannot be tracked and recorded in real time, resulting in a lack of necessary data support for the adjustment and optimization of the production plan, while also increasing the risk of human error and reducing the transparency and controllability of the production process.
[0026] Traditional modular pallets often use mechanical positioning methods to position workpieces, relying on the precise coordination of physical structures such as pins and fixtures. However, after long-term use and wear, the positioning accuracy of this positioning method will gradually decrease. Especially under high-precision processing requirements, small positioning errors may also cause large fluctuations in product quality. In addition, the lack of intelligent calibration and compensation mechanisms makes it difficult for the pallet to adjust positioning parameters in real time when facing factors such as temperature changes and material deformation to ensure the processing consistency of the workpiece, thereby affecting the quality and reliability of the final product.
