Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical transportation, in particular to a fork quick-change joint applied to the transportation of wafer boxes. Background Technique

[0002] The fork is used to transfer the wafer box. For wafer boxes of different specifications, forks of different specifications are required. Although the connection between the existing fork and the transfer joint can be disassembled, the disassembly steps are cumbersome, and the speed of changing the fork under different working conditions is slow.

[0003] Due to the particularity of the chip wafer box, in the process of using the fork to transport the wafer, in order to prevent the wafer box from colliding with the picking and placing equipment and causing the wafer to break and be damaged, the fork is usually designed to be a relatively fixed and stable structure, resulting in complexity and slow speed when changing the fork, which is not convenient for improving the efficiency of chip R & D and manufacturing.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a joint that can quickly replace the fork to improve the production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments 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, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] In Figures 1-5 In the shown embodiment, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a dental fork quick-change joint, including a controller 2 driven by a motor, a rotating seat 3 that rotates through the controller 2, a locking seat 4, and a locking plate 1. The locking seat 4 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the rotating seat 3. A locking mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the locking seat 4. The bottom of the locking plate 1 is fixedly connected to a dental fork for transporting a wafer cassette, and can realize the quick locking and separation of the dental fork through the action of the quick connector. The locking plate 1 and the bottom of the locking seat 4 are changed between the locked and separated states through the locking mechanism 5.

[0026] In practical applications, compared with the existing quick-change joints, multiple groups of locking plates 1 are provided and are respectively fixedly connected to dental forks of different specifications to adapt to different specifications, with wider applicability. A insertion hole 13 is opened in the center of the locking plate 1, and a locking groove 14 for longitudinally locking the locking plate 1 is opened on the inner wall of the insertion hole 13. A first receiving groove 11 for rotationally locking the locking plate 1 is opened at the side end of the locking plate 1, and the first receiving groove 11 provides a placement space.

[0027] Furthermore, a plug-in tube 43 is provided at the bottom of the locking seat 4 to be plugged into and adapted to the socket 13. The side wall of the plug-in tube 43 is provided with multiple groups of through holes 44 equidistantly distributed in a ring around the central axis of the plug-in tube 43. The through holes 44 realize the locking effect of the quick connector.

[0028] exist Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 includes a locking column 54 in the through hole 44, a rotating column 51 rotatably arranged in the inner cavity of the plug-in tube 43, a connecting rod 52 extending outward along its diameter direction is fixedly provided on the side wall of the rotating column 51, and a handle rod 53 is rotatably provided at one end of the connecting rod 52 away from the rotating column 51. The handle rod 53 can rotate the connecting rod 52 to link it. The connecting rod 52 and the handle rod 53 are rotated with the central axis of the rotating column 51 as the rotation axis to change the locking column 54 between the extended and retracted states. When the locking column 54 is in the extended state, the locking column 54 is placed in the locking groove 14 to lock the locking plate 1 longitudinally, thereby further locking and fixing the tooth fork.

[0029] In some embodiments, a second accommodating groove 45 and a first accommodating groove 11 for accommodating the handle rod 53 are respectively provided on one side of the locking seat 4 and the locking plate 1. When the handle rod 53 is placed in the second accommodating groove 45 and the first accommodating groove 11, the locking plate 1 is rotated and locked, providing dual locking functions of rotation and longitudinal direction.

[0030] Furthermore, the side end of the locking seat 4 is also provided with a sliding groove 42 opened along its circumference direction, and the connecting rod 52 is slidably placed in the sliding groove 42, and the sliding groove 42 is connected to the second accommodating groove 45. The handle rod 53 can be accommodated in the second accommodating groove 45 when the end of the connecting rod 52 rotates. The bottom side wall of the rotating column 51 is provided with an annular and equidistantly distributed arc groove 55, and the arc groove 55 is used to accommodate a single locking column 54. The number of arc grooves 55 is the same as the number of locking columns 54.

[0031] Furthermore, when the locking column 54 is in a retracted state, the arc groove 55 corresponds to the position of the through hole 44. When the locking column 54 is in an extended state, the inner end of the locking column 54 is supported by the outer wall of the rotating column 51, and the outer end of the locking column 54 extends from the through hole 44. A positioning hole 41 is provided at the bottom of the locking seat 4, and a positioning column 12 is fixed on the top of the locking plate 1 to be plugged into and adapted to the positioning hole 41.

[0032] The specific working principle of the present invention will be described in detail below: when the tooth fork joint needs to be replaced, the handle rod 53 is rotated, and the handle rod 53 leaves the first accommodating groove 11 and the second accommodating groove 45, releasing the rotation lock, and the connecting rod 52 and the handle rod 53 are on the same horizontal line. The rotating column 51 is rotated to release the longitudinal lock, and the locking column 54 can be accommodated in the arc groove 55. The end of the locking column 54 is semicircular. Since the locking column 54 in the locking groove 14 does not have the resistance of the wall of the rotating column 51, the locking plate 1 is pulled, and the locking column 54 is squeezed into the arc groove 55.

[0033] After replacing the locking plate 1, the insertion pipe 43 is inserted into the insertion hole 13, and the positioning column 12 is inserted into the positioning hole 41. By rotating the rotating column 51 through the connecting rod 52 and the handle rod 53, the arc-shaped groove 55 is arc-shaped. When rotating, the locking column 54 can be extruded from the through hole 44, and the locking column 54 is clamped with the locking groove 14, so as to longitudinally lock the locking plate 1. Rotate the handle rod 53, and the handle rod 53 is clamped into the first receiving groove 11 and the second receiving groove 45 to achieve rotational locking, so as to achieve the quick disassembly and locking of the fork joint.

[0034] In summary, a fork quick-change joint of the present utility model can quickly disassemble and lock the fork, simplify the steps, and improve the speed and efficiency of replacing the fork.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
