Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of jigs, and particularly relates to an XY-direction clamping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In an automated assembly line, in order to achieve fine positioning of products, before detecting or processing products, the x-axis and y-axis sides of the products are usually positioned and clamped by jigs. In a conventional automated assembly line, generally, cylinders are respectively arranged on the x-axis and y-axis to drive the clamping plates on the x-axis to approach each other to clamp and position the two sides of the product on the x-axis. At the same time, the cylinders on the y-axis are also used to drive the clamping plates on the y-axis to approach each other to clamp and position the two sides of the product on the y-axis. Therefore, the mechanism for clamping products occupies a large space and has a high manufacturing cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an XY-direction clamping mechanism to solve the technical defects described in the background art.

[0004] The XY-direction clamping mechanism includes a base plate. The base plate is provided with a placement position for placing products. The base plate is installed with an x-axis slide rail and a cylinder. A first x-axis limit seat is arranged on one side of the placement position in the x-axis direction. A second x-axis limit seat slides on the x-axis slide rail. The second x-axis limit seat is located on the other side of the placement position in the x-axis direction. The second x-axis limit seat is provided with a linkage pulley. A first y-axis limit seat is arranged on one side of the placement position in the y-axis direction. A second y-axis limit seat moves on the other side of the placement position in the y-axis direction. The cylinder drives a linkage plate. The linkage plate is used to push the second y-axis limit seat to approach or open from the first y-axis limit seat. The linkage plate is installed with an inclined push block. The inclined push block is in close contact with the linkage pulley, so that the inclined push block can push the linkage pulley to drive the second x-axis limit seat to approach or open from the first x-axis limit seat.

[0005] According to the above technical solution, the utility model achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0006] After the product is placed in the placement position, the cylinder drives the linkage plate to move. The linkage plate drives the second y-axis limit seat to approach the first y-axis limit seat to clamp and position the two sides of the product on the y-axis. At the same time, the linkage plate drives the second x-axis limit seat to approach the first x-axis limit seat by pushing the linkage pulley through the inclined push block to clamp and position the two sides of the product on the x-axis. Therefore, the utility model can clamp and position the two sides of the product on the x-axis and y-axis only by one cylinder, thereby reducing the space occupied by the clamping mechanism and saving the manufacturing cost of the clamping mechanism.

[0007] To further optimize the above technical solution, without conflict, one or more of the following embodiments can be optionally combined.

[0008] In some embodiments, the substrate is mounted with an x-axis spring for pushing the second x-axis limit seat towards the first x-axis limit seat, and an inclined push block for pushing the linkage pulley to drive the second x-axis limit seat and the first x-axis limit seat to open;

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the following beneficial effects can be further achieved by the present utility model:

[0010] 1. It can be realized that only during the process of picking and placing the product at the placement position, the air cylinder drives the linkage plate to move, and the linkage plate drives the second x-axis limit seat and the first x-axis limit seat to open. Thus, when not picking and placing the product, the force on the air cylinder can be reduced, and the service life of the air cylinder can be improved;

[0011] 2. Since the second x-axis limit seat and the first x-axis limit seat are pushed by the elastic force of the x-axis spring to clamp the product, compared with directly using the thrust of the air cylinder to clamp the product, it can effectively avoid clamping damage to the product.

[0012] In some embodiments, the substrate is provided with a rotating plate, both ends of the rotating plate are provided with notches, the first x-axis limit seat slides on the x-axis slide rail, the first x-axis limit seat is provided with a first pulley, and the first pulley is located in the notch at one end of the rotating plate. The second x-axis limit seat is provided with a second pulley, and the second pulley is located in the notch at the other end of the rotating plate;

[0013] According to the above technical solution, when the inclined push block pushes the linkage pulley to drive the second x-axis limit seat to move, the second x-axis limit seat pushes one end of the rotating plate to swing through the second pulley, and the other end of the rotating plate drives the first pulley to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the first pulley drives the first x-axis limit seat and the second x-axis limit seat to approach or open, so that the second x-axis limit seat and the first x-axis limit seat can clamp and position the product on both sides of the x-axis with higher efficiency and more stability.

[0014] In some embodiments, two placement positions are arranged in parallel on the substrate. The first x-axis limit seat located on one side of a placement position is provided with a first x-axis synchronization plate, and the first x synchronization is connected to the first x-axis limit seat located on one side of the other placement position;

[0015] According to the above technical solution, only one air cylinder can be used to simultaneously clamp and position the product on both sides of the x-axis at two placement positions, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the clamping mechanism and saving the manufacturing cost of the clamping mechanism.

[0016] In some embodiments, the second x-axis limit seat located on one side of a placement position is provided with a second x-axis synchronization plate, the second x synchronization is connected to the second x-axis limit seat located on one side of the other placement position, and the linkage pulley is located on the second x-axis synchronization plate;

[0017] According to the above technical solution, only one cylinder is needed to simultaneously move the first x-axis limit seat and the second x-axis limit seat on both sides of the x-axis of the two placement positions closer to or away from each other, so that the first x-axis limit seat and the second x-axis limit seat of the two placement positions can clamp and position the two sides of the product efficiently and stably.

[0018] In some embodiments, a y-axis slide rail is installed on the substrate, and the second y-axis limit seat is located on the y-axis slide rail and slides thereon;

[0019] According to the above technical solution, the linkage plate can drive the second y-axis limit seat to move linearly, so that the second y-axis limit seat and the first y-axis limit seat can stably clamp and position the two sides of the product in the y-axis direction.

[0020] In some embodiments, a y-axis spring is installed on the substrate, and the y-axis spring is used to push the second y-axis limit seat closer to the first y-axis limit seat. The linkage plate is provided with a direct push block, and the direct push block is used to push the second y-axis limit seat away from the first y-axis limit seat;

[0021] According to the above technical solution, the following beneficial effects can be further achieved by the present utility model:

[0022] 1. It can be realized that only during the process of picking and placing the product at the placement position, the cylinder drives the linkage plate to move, and the linkage plate drives the second y-axis limit seat and the first y-axis limit seat to open. Therefore, when the product is not being picked or placed, the force on the cylinder can be reduced, thereby increasing the service life of the cylinder;

[0023] 2. Since the second y-axis limit seat is pushed closer to the first y-axis limit seat to clamp the product by the elastic force of the y-axis spring, compared with directly using the thrust of the cylinder to clamp the product, it can effectively avoid damaging the product due to clamping.

[0024] In some embodiments, two placement positions are arranged in parallel on the substrate. A y-axis synchronous plate is provided on the second y-axis limit seat on one side of a placement position, and the y-axis synchronous plate is connected to the second y-axis limit seat on one side of the other placement position. The direct push block is used to push the y-axis synchronous plate to move;

[0025] According to the above technical solution, only one cylinder is needed to simultaneously clamp and position the two sides of the product in the y-axis direction at the two placement positions, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the clamping mechanism and saving the manufacturing cost of the clamping mechanism.

[0026] In some embodiments, a heightening block for raising the product is arranged in the placement position, and the y-axis synchronous plate is lower than the heightening block;

[0027] According to the technical solution, by raising the product, an installation position and a movement space are reserved below the placement position for the y-axis synchronization plate, the first x-axis synchronization plate, and the second x-axis synchronization plate, thereby preventing the y-axis synchronization plate, the first x-axis synchronization plate, and the second x-axis synchronization plate from interfering with the picking and placing of the product above the placement position.
