[0030] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model. In addition, all the connection / linkage relationships involved in the patent do not simply refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the formation of a more optimal connection structure by adding or reducing connection accessories according to specific implementation situations. Each technical feature in the creation of the present utility model can be interactively combined on the premise of not conflicting with each other.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , a jig circulation device provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes an upper layer conveying mechanism 1, a lower layer conveying mechanism 2 and two lifting mechanisms 3.

[0032] Structurally, the upper layer conveying mechanism 1 includes a first bracket 11, a first guide rail 12 and a first traction assembly 13. The first guide rail 12 is arranged on the first bracket 11, and a plurality of jigs 4 are slidably connected in sequence along the length direction of the first guide rail 12. The plurality of jigs 4 are connected in sequence, and the first traction assembly 13 is used to traction the plurality of jigs 4 to move along the length direction of the first guide rail 12.

[0033] Further, the lower layer conveying mechanism 2 includes a second guide rail 21 and a second traction assembly 22. The second guide rail 21 is arranged on the first bracket 11, and the second guide rail 21 is located directly below the first guide rail 12. A plurality of jigs 4 are slidably connected in sequence along the length direction of the second guide rail 21. The plurality of jigs 4 are connected in sequence, and the second traction assembly 22 is used to traction the plurality of jigs 4 to move along the length direction of the second guide rail 21.

[0034] Positionally, the two lifting mechanisms 3 are respectively located on both sides of the first bracket 11. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to rotate the jig 4. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a support plate 31 and a lifting slide 32 for driving the support plate 31 to rise or fall. The support plate 31 is used to support the jig 4.

[0035] During operation, several cells to be processed are respectively clamped on several fixtures 4. Then, the first traction assembly 13 and the second traction assembly 22 simultaneously traction several fixtures 4 on the first guide rail 12 and several fixtures 4 on the second guide rail 21 to move in opposite directions. When a fixture 4 on the edge of the first guide rail 12 moves to one of the lifting mechanisms 3, the lifting slide 32 in this lifting mechanism 3 drives the support plate 31 to descend. The support plate 31 drives the fixture 4 to descend and connects the fixture 4 with the fixture 4 on the second guide rail 21. At the same time, the lifting slide 32 in another lifting mechanism 3 drives the support plate 31 to ascend. The support plate 31 drives a fixture 4 on the edge of the second guide rail 21 to ascend and connects the fixture 4 with the fixture 4 on the first guide rail 12, forming a vertically placed loop conveyor belt. Thus, the cyclic conveyance of the fixture 4 can be realized, reducing the floor area of the equipment and improving the space utilization rate in the production workshop.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the structures of the first traction assembly 13 and the second traction assembly 22 are the same. The first traction assembly 13 includes a support plate 131, a clutch module 132 arranged on the support plate 131, and a translation slide 133 for driving the support plate 131 to move along the length direction of the first guide rail 12. The clutch module 132 is used to clamp or separate the fixture 4.

[0037] It can be understood that when the lifting mechanism 3 drives the fixture 4 to ascend onto the first guide rail 12, the fixture 4 is connected with the fixture 4 on the first guide rail 12. Then, the translation slide 133 drives the support plate 131 to move and makes the clutch module 132 on the support plate 131 correspond to the fixture 4. Then, the clutch module 132 clamps the corresponding fixture 4. Next, the translation slide 133 drives the support plate 131 to move to drive several fixtures 4 on the first guide rail 12 to slide a certain distance together. Finally, the clutch module 132 is separated from the fixture 4, and the translation slide 133 drives the support plate 131 and the clutch module 132 to move to the original position. Repeating the above actions, thus, the conveyance of the fixture 4 can be continuously carried out.

[0038] Further, the clutch module 132 includes a first clamping member 1321 and a first air cylinder 1322 for driving the first clamping member 1321 to approach or move away from the fixture 4. The first air cylinder 1322 is installed on the support plate 131. The fixture 4 is provided with a first clamping groove 41 for accommodating the first clamping member 1321 to be snapped in. When the translation slide 133 drives the support plate 131 and the clutch module 132 to move to a position corresponding to the fixture 4, the first air cylinder 1322 extends to drive the first clamping member 1321 to be snapped into the corresponding first clamping groove 41. After the translation slide 133 drives the support plate 131 to move and drives a plurality of fixtures 4 on the first guide rail 12 to slide together for a certain distance, the first air cylinder 1322 retracts to drive the first clamping member 1321 to disengage from the first clamping groove 41. Thus, it is convenient to realize the engagement or separation between the clutch module 132 and the fixture 4, and the clamping is firm.

[0039] Specifically, the number of the first clamping members 1321 is two. A connecting plate 1323 is provided at the telescopic end of the first air cylinder 1322. The two first clamping members 1321 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting plate 1323 respectively. When the first air cylinder 1322 extends, it drives the connecting plate 1323 and the two first clamping members 1321 to be simultaneously snapped into the two first clamping grooves 41. When the translation slide 133 drives a plurality of fixtures 4 to slide together, the two first clamping members 1321 can be stressed together. Thus, the service life of the clutch module 132 can be improved.

[0040] More specifically, the first clamping member 1321 includes a first connecting arm 1321a and a first roller 1321b. One end of the first connecting arm 1321a is connected to the connecting plate 1323, and the first roller 1321b is arranged at the other end of the first connecting arm 1321a. The first clamping groove 41 accommodates the first roller 1321b to be snapped in.

[0041] It can be understood that when the first roller 1321b is snapped into the first clamping groove 41, the outer circle of the first roller 1321b is in rolling connection with the inner wall of the first clamping groove 41. Thus, the wear of the first clamping groove 41 and the first roller 1321b can be reduced, and further, the service life of the fixture 4 and the first clamping member 1321 can be improved.

[0042] Further, two linear guide rails are arranged between the support plate 131 and the connecting plate 1323. The two linear guide rails are symmetrically arranged along the midline of the first air cylinder 1322, and the length direction of the two linear guide rails is the same as the telescopic direction of the first air cylinder 1322. When the first air cylinder 1322 drives the connecting plate 1323 to move, the connecting plate 1323 slides along the length direction of the linear guide rail. Thus, the stability of the movement of the two first clamping members 1321 can be improved.

[0043] Refer to Figure 4, in some preferred embodiments, a second engaging member 42 is provided on one side of the fixture 4, and a second slot 43 is provided on the other side of the fixture 4. The second slot 43 is vertically arranged, and the second engaging member 42 is received in the second slot 43.

[0044] It can be understood that when the lifting mechanism 3 drives a fixture 4 on the first guide rail 12 to descend, the second slot 43 in the fixture 4 corresponds to and engages with the second engaging member 42 in another fixture 4 on the second guide rail 21. Thus, the connection between the two fixtures 4 is facilitated.

[0045] Similarly, when the lifting mechanism 3 drives a fixture 4 on the second guide rail 21 to ascend, the second engaging member 42 in the fixture 4 corresponds to and engages with the second slot 43 in another fixture 4 on the first guide rail 12.

[0046] Furthermore, the first engaging member 1321 includes a second connecting arm 421 and a second roller 422. One end of the second connecting arm 421 is connected to the fixture 4, and the second roller 422 is arranged at the other end of the second connecting arm 421. The second slot 43 receives the second roller 422 to vertically engage, and the outer circumference of the second roller 422 is in rolling connection with the inner wall of the second slot 43. Thus, the wear of the second slot 43 and the second roller 422 can be reduced.

[0047] In some preferred embodiments, a first limiting component 5 and a second limiting component 6 are further included. The first limiting component 5 and the second limiting component 6 are respectively located on both sides of the first bracket 11. The first limiting component 5 is used to limit the second roller 422, and the second limiting component 6 is used to limit the second slot 43. Thus, the fixtures 4 on the first guide rail 12 and the second guide rail 21 can be accurately positioned.

[0048] Refer to Figure 2 , specifically, the first limiting component 5 includes a second bracket 51 and a limiting plate 52 arranged on the second bracket 51. The limiting plate 52 is vertically arranged, and the cross-section of the limiting plate 52 is an L-shaped structure. The limiting plate 52 is used to block the second roller 422. When the fixture 4 on the first guide rail 12 moves to the support plate 31, the second roller 422 on the fixture 4 abuts against the limiting plate 52, and the positioning of the fixture 4 can be achieved, so that the second slot 43 in the fixture 4 corresponds to the second roller 422 in another fixture 4 on the second guide rail 21. Moreover, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the fixture 4 to descend, so that the second roller 422 on the fixture 4 rolls along the limiting plate 52. Thus, the guiding of the fixture 4 during the descending process can be carried out, and the accuracy of the connection of the two lower fixtures 4 can be improved.

[0049] Refer to Figure 5, Further, the second limiting component 6 includes a third bracket 61 and a plurality of third rollers 62 arranged on the third bracket 61. The plurality of third rollers 62 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction. The second card slot 43 accommodates the third rollers 62 to be snapped in. When the fixture 4 on the second guide rail 21 moves to the pallet 31, the second card slot 43 on the fixture 4 is located directly below the third rollers 62. Then, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the fixture 4 to rise, so that the plurality of third rollers 62 are successively snapped into the second card slot 43 in the fixture 4. Thus, it is possible to guide the fixture 4 during the rising process and improve the accuracy when the two upper fixtures 4 are connected.

[0050] The above is a specific description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiment. Those skilled in the art can also make various equivalent deformations or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent deformations or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
