[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of positioning of glue-dispensing and gluing products, in particular to a positioning device. Background Art

[0002] In an automated production line, when a product is transported to the next process, it must be positioned before the corresponding processing step is carried out to ensure processing quality. For example, if the next process is glue dispensing or coating, the product must be positioned first to ensure the correct placement of the glue.

[0003] To ensure accurate positioning, products within a processing step typically require positioning in two directions: X and Y. Therefore, two separate positioning drive assemblies are required. For example, two positioning cylinders are installed on either side of the product, each of which uses a push rod to push the product into position to achieve positioning. However, the cost of using two separate positioning drive assemblies is high, especially in large-scale production environments where multiple processing stations are set up within the processing step, which can significantly increase positioning costs.

[0031] The present application provides a positioning device used for product positioning in an automated production line, for example, product positioning in an automated gluing and coating process. It can achieve product positioning in two directions through a separate drive component, effectively reducing positioning costs.

[0032] See also Figure 1 The positioning device provided in this application includes a base 10, a driving component 20 and a positioning component 30. The base 10 is provided with a placement area 11, the placement area 11 is used to place the product 100, and the driving component 20 is used to drive the positioning component 30 to move to position the product 100 in the placement area 11.

[0033] The positioning assembly 30 includes a fixed part 31 and a movable part 32. Figure 4 The fixing member 31 includes a first fixing portion 311 and a second fixing portion 312. Both the first fixing portion 311 and the second fixing portion 312 are disposed within the placement area 11, specifically at appropriate locations within or on the edge of the placement area 11. The first fixing portion 311 is used to determine the positioning of the product 100 in the first direction, and the second fixing portion 312 is used to determine the positioning of the product 100 in the second direction.

[0034] It can be understood that the first direction and the second direction are both arbitrary directions in space, and the first direction intersects with the second direction, so that the product 100 can be positioned in different directions.

[0035] When implementing it specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the first direction and the second direction can be two directions parallel to the surface of the base 10, namely the x direction and the y direction in the automation field, so as to locate the horizontal position of the product 100 and facilitate the structural layout and design of the positioning device.

[0036] The angle between the first direction and the second direction can be 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° or other angles. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the included angle between the first direction and the second direction is 90°.

[0037] The first fixing portion 311 and the second fixing portion 312 can be provided separately, or can be enclosed together to form a fixing groove 313 , in which the corners of the product 100 are provided.

[0038] See also Figure 5 The movable member 32 includes a first movable portion 321, a rotating portion 322, and a second movable portion 323, which are connected in sequence. The first movable portion 321 and the second movable portion 323 are arranged at a predetermined angle to apply pressure to different sides of the product 100 from different directions. The rotating portion 322 is rotatably mounted on the driving end of the driving assembly 20, allowing the entire movable member 32 to rotate.

[0039] During the positioning process, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving assembly 20 is used to drive the movable part 32 to move along the first direction, first making the first movable part 321 contact the product 100, the first movable part 321 will rotate due to the reaction force of the product 100, and make the second movable part 323 contact the product 100, so that the first movable part 321 and the second movable part 323 reach a state of clamping the product 100; when the movable part 32 continues to move along the first direction, the first movable part 321 and the second movable part 323 will simultaneously apply pressure to the product 100, thereby making the first movable part 321 press the product 100 against the first fixed part 311 along the first direction, and making the second movable part 323 press the product 100 against the second fixed part 312 along the second direction, thereby completing the positioning of the product 100 in two directions.

[0040] It can be seen that the present application can complete the positioning of the product 100 in two directions through a single driving assembly 20 , effectively reducing the positioning cost of the product 100 .

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The first movable portion 321 and the second movable portion 323 form an opening for the corners of the product 100 to enter.

[0042] For example, the product 100 is rectangular, and the corners of the product 100 can enter the opening, so that the first movable portion 321 and the second movable portion 323 can clamp the product 100 and apply pressure to different sides of the corners of the product 100 to position it.

[0043] In some embodiments, the positioning device further includes an abutting portion 324 , which can be provided solely on the first movable portion 321 , solely on the second movable portion 323 , or simultaneously on the first movable portion 321 and the second movable portion 323 .

[0044] The abutting portion 324 is bent toward the inner side of the opening, so that the first movable portion 321 and / or the second movable portion 323 can better apply pressure to the product 100 .

[0045] The end surface of the abutting portion 324 may be configured as a curved surface to reduce friction against the product 100 .

[0046] In some embodiments, the positioning device further includes a roller 325 , which is rotatably disposed on the abutting portion 324 .

[0047] The roller 325 can further reduce the collision and friction on the product 100, and can make the first movable part 321 and the second movable part 323 clamp the product 100 more smoothly, so that the positioning process can proceed normally.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The driving end of the driving assembly 20 can be provided with a connecting piece 40 , and the rotating portion 322 can be rotatably disposed on the connecting piece 40 .

[0049] The connecting member 40 serves to facilitate the connection of the movable member 32. A guide rail along the first direction may also be provided on the base 10, and the connecting member 40 is slidably arranged on the guide rail to ensure that the moving direction of the connecting member 40 is accurate by cooperating with the guide rail.

[0050] In a specific implementation, the drive assembly 20 can be any common drive device in the art, such as a cylinder, a linear motor, a rack and pinion mechanism, etc., to drive the movable member 32 to move linearly along the first direction. The drive assembly 20 can be disposed on the base 10 or other suitable location, such as the ground, a bracket, etc.

[0051] In this embodiment, the driving component 20 uses a cylinder. When the piston rod of the cylinder is extended, the movable part 32 moves forward in the first direction and positions the product 100; when the piston rod of the cylinder is retracted, the movable part 32 moves backward in the first direction and resets.

[0052] In addition, a buffer plate can be provided on the connecting member 40, and buffers are provided at the front and rear ends of the buffer plate. When the piston rod of the cylinder is extended or retracted, the buffer plate and the buffer can cooperate to buffer the movement of the connecting member 40, thereby improving the service life of the positioning device and preventing the product 100 from being damaged during the positioning process.

[0053] In some embodiments, the number of placement areas 11 can be set to two or more, the number of positioning components 30 is the same as the number of placement areas 11 , and each positioning component 30 corresponds to each placement area 11 one by one.

[0054] At this time, the fixed parts 31 in each positioning component 30 can be respectively set in the corresponding placement area 11, and each movable part 32 is rotatably set on the connecting part 40. The driving component 20 can drive multiple movable parts 32 to move along the first direction at one time through the connecting part 40, and make each movable part 32 position the corresponding product 100 on the fixed part 31 respectively.

[0055] The present application uses only one drive component 20, which can not only realize the positioning of products in two directions at the same time, but also realize the positioning of multiple products at the same time, greatly improving the positioning efficiency and significantly reducing the positioning cost, so that the positioning device can be used in large-scale automated production lines.

[0056] In some embodiments, the number of fixing parts 31 can be set to multiple, one of the fixing parts 31 includes a first fixing part 311 and a second fixing part 312, and the remaining fixing parts 31 are used to enclose together to form the outline of the product 100, so that the product 100 can be placed within the outline, and the product 100 is preliminarily positioned, and then the product 100 is pushed by the movable part 32 to more accurately position the product 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 30 further includes an elastic return member 33 , one end of the elastic return member 33 is connected to the movable member 32 , and the other end of the elastic return member 33 is connected to the base 10 or the driving end of the driving assembly 20 .

[0058] The elastic return member 33 is used to pull the movable member 32 back to the initial position after the positioning is completed so as to carry out the next positioning process. The elastic return member 33 can be a spring, a spring, a coil spring, etc.

[0059] In this embodiment, the elastic return member 33 is a spring, one end of which is secured to the first movable portion 321 via a retractor. The other end of the spring is secured to a fixed post on the connector 40 via a retractor. During positioning, the movable member 32 rotates clockwise under the drive assembly 20. Once positioning is complete, the spring pulls the movable member 32 counterclockwise, returning it to its initial position.

[0060] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 30 also includes an adjusting member 34 and a fixing member 31. The rotating portion 322 is rotatably arranged on the adjusting member 34. The adjusting member 34 is slidably arranged on the connecting member 40 along the second direction. The fixing member 31 is arranged on the connecting member 40 for fixing the position of the adjusting member 34.

[0061] By adjusting the positions of the adjusting member 34 and the rotating member along the second direction, the assembly and machining production errors of the positioning device can be offset, so that the movable member 32 is in a suitable position to position the product 100.

[0062] In a specific implementation, the fixing member 31 can be a screw, a pin, a buckle or other structures to fix the adjusting member 34 after sliding adjustment.

[0063] In this embodiment, an adjusting hole 341 is provided on the adjusting member 34, and a threaded hole is provided on the connecting member 40. The fixing member 31 passes through the adjusting hole 341 and is threadedly fixed in the threaded hole. The adjusting hole 341 forms an adjusting space for the fixing member 31 to move along the second direction.

[0064] The fixing member 31 can be a threaded member such as a screw or bolt. When adjusting, the fixing member 31 in the threaded hole can be loosened first, and then the adjusting member 34 is adjusted to the correct position. Then, the fixing member 31 can be tightened again so that the head of the fixing member 31 presses against the adjusting member 34 to limit the sliding of the adjusting member 34 and complete the adjustment process.

[0065] In summary, the positioning device provided in the present application can complete the positioning of the product 100 in two directions through a separate drive component 20, and can also complete the positioning of multiple products 100 at the same time, effectively reducing the positioning cost, and simplifying the control process when multiple stations and multiple products are positioned at the same time, reducing the failure rate, and can also be used in environments with limited space, effectively improving applicability.
