[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present application.

[0038] All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0039] As described in the background technology, there is a risk of product damage and product falling when the related technology solutions use clamps or suction cups to fix the product. After research, the reasons for the above problems are: when the clamp is used to clamp the product, the clamping force of the clamp is applied to the side wall of the product, which needs to be greater than the weight of the product itself to ensure that the product does not fall during the movement. However, when the clamping force is greater than the weight of the product itself, the clamp is easy to cause damage to the clamped part of the product (generally the side wall of the product), thereby affecting the subsequent use of the product; if the clamping force of the clamp is reduced, it may avoid damage to the product, but the reduction of the clamping force will bring about a new problem of the product falling easily. When using a suction cup to absorb the product, the adsorption force of the suction cup needs to be greater than the weight of the product itself to be able to suck up the product. However, in actual production, the product may fall from the suction cup due to shaking during the movement of the product.

[0040] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application aim to provide a clamp and production equipment, by setting a positioning mechanism and a supporting mechanism; the positioning mechanism includes at least two positioning surfaces and at least two positioning members, the two positioning members are respectively arranged on the two positioning surfaces, the positioning surface is used to abut against the first end of the product, and the positioning member is used to be inserted into the positioning hole of the product; the supporting mechanism is used to abut against the second end of the product; wherein the first end is the end away from the gravity direction of the product, and the second end is the end facing the gravity direction of the product. The clamp of the present application uses at least two positioning members inserted into the positioning hole of the product to achieve positioning of the product and prevent the product from moving. At the same time, the positioning surface abuts against the first end of the product, and the supporting mechanism abuts against the second end of the product. The supporting force applied by the clamp to the product is equal to the gravity of the product itself, thereby avoiding damage to the product, and the supporting mechanism can effectively prevent the product from falling.

[0041] The following will describe the contents of the embodiments of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand the contents of the present application in more detail. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are three different directions in a three-dimensional space; illustratively, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other, and the third direction Z can be, for example, a vertical direction.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1-4, this embodiment provides a fixture 10, including a positioning mechanism and a supporting mechanism. Among them, the positioning mechanism includes at least two positioning surfaces and at least two positioning members 101. The positioning surfaces are used to abut against the first end of the product 1, and the specific number of the positioning surfaces can be determined according to the size and shape of the product 1, etc. The two positioning members 101 are respectively arranged on the two positioning surfaces, and the positioning member 101 is used to insert into the positioning hole of the product 1. The two positioning members 101 jointly position the product, so as to prevent the product 1 from rotating in the plane parallel to the first direction X and the second direction Y. Exemplarily, the positioning member 101 can be a pin or a bolt, etc. The supporting mechanism is used to abut against the second end of the product 1. The supporting mechanism and the positioning mechanism can be connected to each other, or the two can be independent of each other, which can be specifically set according to needs.

[0044] It should be noted that the multiple positioning surfaces in this embodiment can be at the same height or different heights in the third direction Z, which can be specifically set according to needs. The first end and the second end are two different positions of the product 1 in the third direction Z. For example, the first end and the second end can be two surfaces of the product 1 in the third direction Z respectively; or, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the first end can be a plane formed by a part of the product 1, and the second end can be an assembly structure such as a groove opened on the product 1. It can be understood that in the third direction Z, the first end can be located above the second end, or the first end can also be located below the second end, or the first end and the second end can be at the same height.

[0045] From the above description, it can be seen that the fixture 10 of this embodiment realizes the positioning of the product 1 by inserting at least two positioning members 101 into the positioning holes of the product 1 to prevent the product 1 from moving. At the same time, by the positioning surface abutting against the first end of the product 1 and the supporting mechanism abutting against the second end of the product 1, the fixture 10 lifts the product 1 in the third direction Z, and the force exerted by the fixture 10 on the product 1 is equal to the gravity of the product 1 itself, so as to avoid damaging the product 1 due to excessive force applied, and the supporting mechanism can effectively prevent the product 1 from falling.

[0046] In addition, the center line of the fixture 10 of this embodiment using at least two positioning members 101 to position the product is different from the supporting direction of the supporting mechanism, and the supporting structure does not exert a clamping external force on the product, so as to avoid the problem of over-positioning the product.

[0047] Please continue to refer to Figure 1, in this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a first positioning mechanism 110 and a second positioning mechanism 120 oppositely arranged along the first direction X. The positioning surface includes at least one first positioning surface 111 provided on the first positioning mechanism 110 and at least one second positioning surface 121 provided on the second positioning mechanism 120. Exemplarily, two first positioning surfaces 111 may be provided on the first positioning mechanism 110, and the two first positioning surfaces 111 are spaced along the second direction Y; two second positioning surfaces 121 may be provided on the second positioning mechanism 120, and the two second positioning surfaces 121 are spaced along the second direction Y. The two first positioning surfaces 111 and the two second positioning surfaces 121 may be, for example, at the same height in the third direction Z. When the positioning mechanism positions the first end of the product 1, it can abut against the product 1 at four different positions through the two first positioning surfaces 111 and the two second positioning surfaces 121, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0048] The two positioning members 101 may be respectively provided on one first positioning surface 111 and one second positioning surface 121, or the two positioning members 101 may also be respectively provided on the two first positioning surfaces 111 or the two second positioning surfaces 121, and the specific setting can be combined with the structure of the product 1.

[0049] The supporting mechanism includes a first supporting mechanism 210 and a second supporting mechanism 220 oppositely arranged along the first direction X. The first supporting mechanism 210 includes a first supporting plate 211, and the second supporting mechanism 220 includes a second supporting plate 221. Both the first supporting plate 211 and the second supporting plate 221 are used to abut against the second end of the product 1. It can be understood that the first supporting plate 211 and the second supporting plate 221 may be oppositely arranged along the first direction X, or the first supporting plate 211 and the second supporting plate 221 may respectively face two different directions in the plane parallel to the first direction X and the second direction Y, and the specific determination can be made according to the position of the corresponding assembly structure on the product 1.

[0050] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the positions of the first supporting mechanism 210 and the second supporting mechanism 220 so that the fixture 10 can be applicable to products of different sizes, the first supporting mechanism 210 of this embodiment is slidably arranged on the first positioning mechanism 110 along the second direction Y, and the second supporting mechanism 220 is slidably arranged on the second positioning mechanism 120 along the second direction Y.

[0051] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, specifically, the first support mechanism 210 further includes a first main body portion 212. The first support plate 211 is disposed at a first end of the first main body portion 212 along the third direction Z, and the first support plate 211 and the first main body portion 212 are generally in an "L" shape. The first main body portion 212 is slidably connected to the side wall of the first positioning mechanism 110, and the movement of the first support mechanism 210 relative to the first positioning mechanism 110 is realized by the sliding of the first main body portion 212.

[0052] Exemplarily, a first sliding portion may be provided on a side of the first main body portion 212 facing the first positioning mechanism 110, a first sliding mating portion may be provided on the first positioning mechanism 110, and the first sliding portion may slide on the first sliding mating portion, so that the first support mechanism 210 moves relative to the first positioning mechanism 110.

[0053] In this embodiment, the structures of the first sliding portion and the first sliding mating portion can be set as needed. For example, the first sliding portion may include a first slider 213, and the first slider 213 may be fixedly connected to one side of the first main body portion 212 by a fastener such as a screw; alternatively, the first slider 213 may be integrally formed with the first main body portion 212. The first sliding mating portion may include a first slide rail 112, and the first slide rail 112 may also be fixedly connected to one side of the first positioning mechanism 110 by a fastener such as a screw; alternatively, the first slide rail 112 may be integrally formed with the first positioning mechanism 110. The first support mechanism 210 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 112 on the first positioning mechanism 110 through the first slider 213.

[0054] Similarly, the second support mechanism 220 further includes a second main body portion 222. The second support plate 221 is disposed at a first end of the second main body portion 222 along the third direction Z, and the second support plate 221 and the second main body portion 222 are generally in an "L" shape. The second main body portion 222 is slidably connected to the side wall of the second positioning mechanism 120, and the movement of the second support mechanism 220 relative to the second positioning mechanism 120 is realized by the sliding of the second main body portion 222.

[0055] Exemplarily, a second sliding portion may be provided on a side of the second main body portion 222 facing the second positioning mechanism 120, a second sliding mating portion may be provided on the second positioning mechanism 120, and the second sliding portion may slide on the second sliding mating portion, so that the second support mechanism 220 moves relative to the second positioning mechanism 120.

[0056] In this embodiment, the structures of the second sliding part and the second sliding mating part can be set as required. For example, the second sliding part may include a second slider 223, and the second slider 223 can be fixedly connected to one side of the second main body part 222 by fasteners such as screws; alternatively, the second slider 223 can be integrally formed with the second main body part 222. The second sliding mating part may include a second slide rail 122, and the second slide rail 122 can also be fixedly connected to one side of the second positioning mechanism 120 by fasteners such as screws; alternatively, the second slide rail 122 can be integrally formed with the second positioning mechanism 120. The second support mechanism 220 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 122 on the second positioning mechanism 120 through the second slider 223.

[0057] The fixture 10 of this embodiment further includes a driving device, which is connected to the first main body part 212 and the second main body part 222, and can drive the first main body part 212 and the second main body part 222 to move along the second direction Y. That is to say, in this embodiment, the positions of the first main body part 212 and the second main body part 222 in the second direction Y can be adjusted through the driving device, so that the fixture 10 can be applicable to products of different sizes.

[0058] In a possible implementation manner, the driving device may include a first driving member and a second driving member. The first driving member is connected to the first main body part 212 and can drive the first main body part 212 to reciprocate along the second direction Y. The second driving member is connected to the second main body part 222 and can drive the second main body part 222 to reciprocate along the second direction Y. The first driving member and the second driving member can be motors, pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc.

[0059] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in another possible implementation manner, the driving device of this embodiment includes a driving member 310, a telescopic rod 320 and an adapter plate 330. The driving member 310 can be, for example, a motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The output end of the driving member 310 is connected to the telescopic rod 320, and the driving member 310 can drive the telescopic rod 320 to extend or retract along the first direction X. The telescopic rod 320 is connected to the adapter plate 330, and when the telescopic rod 320 moves, it can drive the adapter plate 330 to move synchronously along the first direction X. Exemplarily, a connection groove 334 can be provided on the adapter plate 330, and a corresponding connection part 321 can be provided at the end of the telescopic rod 320. The connection part 321 can be inserted into the connection groove 334, so that the telescopic rod 320 is connected to the adapter plate 330.

[0060] In this embodiment, the adapter plate 330 is provided with a first chute 331 and a second chute 332. The extending directions of the first chute 331 and the second chute 332 are both inclined to the first direction X. The second end of the first main body portion 212 along the third direction Z is slidably disposed in the first chute 331. For example, a roller may be connected to the second end of the first main body portion 212 along the third direction Z. The roller is disposed in the first chute 331 and can slide along the first chute 331. The second end of the second main body portion 222 along the third direction Z is slidably disposed in the second chute 332. For example, a roller may be connected to the second end of the second main body portion 222 along the third direction Z. The roller is disposed in the second chute 332 and can slide along the first chute 331.

[0061] With the above structure, when the driving member 310 drives the telescopic rod 320 to move along the first direction X, the adapter plate 330 also moves synchronously along the first direction X. When the adapter plate 330 moves, the roller on the first main body portion 212 slides along the first chute 331, so that the first main body portion 212 and the first chute 331 generate relative sliding, so as to drive the first support mechanism 210 to slide along the second direction Y to adjust the position of the first support mechanism 210 in the second direction Y. The roller on the second main body portion 222 slides along the second chute 332, so that the second main body portion 222 and the second chute 332 generate relative sliding, so as to drive the second support mechanism 220 to slide along the second direction Y to adjust the position of the second support mechanism 220 in the second direction Y. It can be understood that the extending directions of the first chute 331 and the second chute 332 can be set according to the shape of the product 1; the specific structures of the connecting portion 321, the connecting groove 334 and the adapter plate 330 can also be replaced as needed. For example, different adapter plates 330 (the chutes in the adapter plate 330 are designed according to the product shape) are replaced through the connecting portion 321 and the connecting groove 334 according to the shape of the product to be clamped, so that the fixture 10 can clamp the special-shaped product.

[0062] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the support mechanism of this embodiment may include two first support mechanisms 210 spaced apart along the second direction Y. The adapter plate 330 is correspondingly provided with two first chutes 331. The second ends of the two first support mechanisms 210 along the third direction Z are respectively slidably disposed in the two first chutes 331. Along the second direction Y, the extending directions of the two first chutes 331 are away from each other. With the above structure, when the adapter plate 330 moves along the first direction X, the two first support mechanisms 210 can move relatively or towards each other along the second direction Y, so as to loosen or clamp the product 1.

[0063] It can be understood that in other possible embodiments, two second support mechanisms 220 may also be provided, and two corresponding second sliding grooves 332 may be provided on the adapter plate 330, so as to achieve the same effect as the above embodiments.

[0064] In a possible embodiment, the fixture 10 of this embodiment further includes a fixing plate 130 connecting the first positioning mechanism 110 and the second positioning mechanism 120. The fixing plate 130 makes the first positioning mechanism 110 and the second positioning mechanism 120 form an integral body, and the fixing plate 130 also provides a sliding basis for the adapter plate 330.

[0065] Exemplarily, a third sliding portion may be provided on the side of the adapter plate 330 facing the fixing plate 130, and a third sliding mating portion may be provided on the fixing plate 130. The third sliding portion can slide on the third sliding mating portion, so that the adapter plate 330 moves relative to the fixing plate 130.

[0066] In this embodiment, the structures of the third sliding portion and the third sliding mating portion can be set as needed. For example, the third sliding portion may include a third slider 333, and the third slider 333 can be fixed to the adapter plate 330 by fasteners such as screws; or, the third slider 333 may be integrally formed with the adapter plate 330. The third sliding mating portion may include a third slide rail 131, and the third slide rail 131 can also be fixed to the fixing plate 130 by fasteners such as screws; or, the third slide rail 131 may be integrally formed with the fixing plate 130. The adapter plate 330 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 131 on the fixing plate 130 through the third slider 333.

[0067] Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of a production device provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 , this embodiment further provides a production device, including a robotic arm 11 and the above-mentioned fixture 10, and the fixture 10 is detachably connected to the robotic arm 11.

[0069] Specifically, the fixture 10 can be externally connected to a connecting plate and detachably connected to the flange on the robotic arm 11 through fasteners such as bolts. The connecting plate can generally be in an "L" shape, for example. Part of the connecting plate can be connected to the side of the first positioning mechanism 110 facing away from the first support mechanism 210, and the other part of the connecting plate can be connected to the flange on the robotic arm 11. The production equipment further includes a conveyor line 12, a loading bin 13, an unloading bin 14, and a process fixture 15. The conveyor line 12 can move the pallet fixture 16 thereon to near the robotic arm 11 and lift and fix the pallet fixture 16 through a lifting mechanism. The robotic arm 11 can pick up the product on the material tray in the loading bin 13 through the fixture 10, and the empty material tray can be stored in the unloading bin 14. After the robotic arm 11 picks up the product, it moves the product to the process fixture 15, and the product is processed on the process fixture 15. After the product is processed, the robotic arm 11 picks up the product from the process fixture 15 and places it on the pallet fixture 16. Subsequently, the lifting mechanism descends so that the pallet fixture 16 returns to the conveyor line 12 again, and the conveyor line 12 drives the pallet fixture 16 and the product thereon into the next working station.
