[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a catenary transport pallet positioning device to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the catenary transport pallet can be accurately positioned and stably landed on an inclined elevator.

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a catenary transport pallet positioning device is provided, including a base 1, a support plate 2, a positioning card 4 and a telescopic mechanism 9. One side of the support plate 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and a positioning card 4 is provided on the other side. A telescopic mechanism 9 is hinged between the bottom of the support plate 2 and the ground. The positioning card 4 can position the catenary transport pallet 10 in at least one length direction and width direction. It is simple in design, easy to make, and requires little investment. It ensures the performance of the equipment without changing the original equipment structure, does not affect the original safety performance of the equipment, and has a good use effect.

[0025] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the positioning clips 4 are set at the top corners of the support plate 2 and are at least 3 cm higher than the upper plane of the support plate 2 to position the catenary transport pallet 10 in the length and width directions. Since the catenary transport pallet 10 in this application is rectangular, the two orthogonal limits are sufficient to limit its position and prevent shaking.

[0026] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, two pairs of positioning cards 4 are provided, and each pair of positioning cards 4 includes two limiting columns 5. The bottoms of the two limiting columns 5 are connected and fixed to the bottom surface of the support plate 2. The two limiting columns 5 are vertically fitted with the two adjacent side surfaces of the support plate 2 respectively. The height of the limiting columns 5 is greater than the thickness of the support plate 2. The upper end of the limiting column 5 is preferably provided with an outward flare, which can facilitate the insertion and positioning of the catenary transport pallet 10, which is equivalent to directly inserting the catenary transport pallet 10 into the leakage groove of the limiting column 5.

[0027] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a limiting mechanism is provided below the support plate 2. The limiting mechanism comprises a base 6 and a chain 7. The base 6 is fixed to the ground. One end of the chain 7 is connected to the support plate 2, and the other end is connected to the base 6. The length of the chain 7 is sufficient only to rotate the support plate 2 to a horizontal position, thereby mechanically limiting the upward swing height of the support plate 2. Based on the current equipment status of the inclined hoist angle and lifting height of the green block receiving device of the molding machine, the length of the automatic positioning and tensioning device is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, and the clamping and positioning device and tensioning device of the green block receiving tray are manufactured and installed.

[0028] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the base 6 is fixed to the ground by anchor bolts, and one end of the telescopic mechanism 9 is hinged to the base 6 to provide power for the upward swing of the support plate 2.

[0029] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the base 6 is U-shaped and is arranged parallel to the width direction of the support plate 2. The height of the two arms of the base 6 is 30 cm. When the support plate 2 swings down, its ends can be supported, enabling the support plate 2 to swing downward by at least 15°, thereby making the height of the limit column 5 much lower than the transport plane of the catenary transport pallet 10, avoiding movement interference.

[0030] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, two chains 7 are symmetrically provided and the lower ends are fixed on the limiting plates 8 of the support arms, so that the forces are balanced and rollover is avoided.

[0031] As an optional solution, the telescopic mechanism 9 in this embodiment is a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and the weight of the mechanism and the telescopic mechanism 9 are used to provide power for the swing of the support plate 2, which can reduce energy consumption and be green and low-carbon.

[0032] As an optional solution, the support plate 2 in this embodiment is L-shaped with an angle greater than 90°. The connecting arm of the support plate 2 is hinged to the base 1 via the rotating shaft 3. The support arm can swing to fit the bottom surface of the catenary transport pallet 10, thereby providing surface positioning for the bottom surface of the catenary transport pallet 10. Combined with the two long and wide side limiters, the catenary transport pallet 10 can be fully positioned. The support plate 2 can also be a straight plate, with the hinge point matching the height of the catenary transport pallet 10 and located outside the catenary transport pallet 10 so that its movement does not interfere.

[0033] The positioning principle and vehicle passing of the catenary transport pallet 10 in this embodiment are as follows: the catenary transport pallet 10 runs to the top of the inclined elevator and touches the proximity switch on the sliding guide rail above the pallet. Then, the control cabinet receives the signal and controls the catenary conveyor to stop moving forward, but it will shake due to inertia. At the same time, the control cabinet controls the tilted cylinder push rod to extend upward, so that the upper plane of the support plate 2 gradually becomes parallel and in contact with the bottom surface of the pallet. The chain 7 is synchronously stretched upward until it is in a tensioned state, and the catenary transport pallet 10 is stably clamped in the limit column 5. Then, the molding machine block pushing device pushes the anode raw block onto the catenary transport pallet 10. After the molding machine block pushing device is reset, the cylinder retracts the push rod downward, and the upper plane of the support plate 2 gradually leaves the catenary transport pallet 10, and the catenary transport pallet continues to run.

[0034] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
