The ejection assembly 3 is movably arranged in the guide hole 23, and the ejection assembly 3 is used for lifting the positioning disc 12. The locking unit 4 is arranged in the positioning seat 2 and coaxially arranged with the insertion hole 22, and the locking unit 4 is used for clamping or releasing the pin 11, and the locking unit 4 includes a piston 41, which can move in the first direction and push the ejection assembly 3 out of the guide hole 23.

[0049] In short, the zero-point positioning device with ejection function provided by the utility model can place the tray assembly 1 on the positioning seat 2, and the pin 11 of the tray assembly 1 can be clamped or released by the locking unit 4 after being inserted into the insertion hole 22, wherein the ejection assembly 3 is movably arranged in the guide hole 23 of the positioning seat 2, and the piston 41 of the locking unit 4 moves in the first direction not only to unlock the locking unit 4 and the pin 11, but also to push the ejection assembly 3 out of the guide hole 23, and the ejection assembly 3 can lift the tray upward after being pushed out of the guide hole 23, so that the zero-point positioning device with ejection function can be operated without manual assistance, and the positioning disc 12 and the positioning seat 2 can be smoothly separated.

[0050] Further, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the ejecting assembly 3 comprises an ejecting cap 31 and an ejecting seat 32, the ejecting cap 31 is threadedly connected with the ejecting seat 32. By screwing the ejecting cap 31 or the ejecting seat 32, the total length of the ejecting assembly 3 and the active stroke of the ejecting can be adjusted to meet the lifting of different types of positioning discs 12.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 , the ejecting cap 31 comprises an ejecting plate 311 and a connecting column 312 connected integrally.

The ejecting plate 311 will be in contact with the positioning disc 12 when the ejecting cap 31 is lifted, wherein the diameter of the ejecting plate 311 is greater than the diameter of the connecting column 312, which can increase the contact area of the ejecting plate 311 and the positioning disc 12, and avoid the lower surface of the positioning disc 12 from being crushed.

[0052] Further, a plurality of guide holes 23 are arranged circumferentially and spaced apart with the insertion hole 22 as the center. By adding a plurality of guide holes 23, it is convenient to install a plurality of ejecting assemblies 3, and when the positioning disc 12 is unlocked and separated, the positioning disc 12 is uniformly stressed.

[0053] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first end surface of the positioning disc 12 is provided with a first positioning portion 121, and the positioning seat 2 is provided with a second positioning portion 24, and the first positioning portion 121 and the second positioning portion 24 are movably inserted. But after the positioning disc 12 falls to the positioning seat 2, the positioning accuracy of the two can be improved through the cooperation of the first positioning portion 121 and the second positioning portion 24.

[0054] Exemplarily, one of the first positioning portion 121 and the second positioning portion 24 is a positioning recess, and the other of the first positioning portion 121 and the second positioning portion 24 is a positioning protrusion. Through the shape adaptation of the positioning protrusion and the positioning recess, it is helpful to ensure the cooperation accuracy of the positioning disc 12 and the positioning seat 2.

[0055] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 , in the embodiment, the first positioning portion 121 extends along the radial direction of the positioning disc 12, and the second positioning portion 24 extends along the radial direction of the insertion hole 22 towards the outer edge of the positioning seat 2. The first positioning portion 121 and the second positioning portion 24 are in isosceles trapezoidal structure in longitudinal section.

[0056] Further, the first positioning part 121 and the second positioning part 24 are both circumferentially spaced and provided with a plurality of positioning parts, and the plurality of first positioning parts 121 and the plurality of second positioning parts 24 are one-to-one corresponding. Through the matching of the plurality of first positioning parts 121 and the plurality of second positioning parts 24, the positioning accuracy can be further improved, and the positioning error can be reduced.

[0057] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the positioning seat 2 is provided with an inflation hole 25, the piston 41 divides the accommodation cavity 21 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, the inflation hole 25 communicates with the lower cavity, the guide hole 23 communicates with the upper cavity, and the locking unit 4 further includes a support cylinder 42, a plurality of balls 43, and a compression spring 44. The support cylinder 42 is coaxially connected with the insertion hole 22, the piston 41 movably sleeves the support cylinder 42, and a plurality of through holes 421 are circumferentially and spaced apart on the cylinder wall of the support cylinder 42. The balls 43 are located in the through holes 421. The compression spring 44, and the two ends of the compression spring 44 respectively abut against the piston 41 and the inner top wall of the accommodation cavity 21. In some application scenarios, when the positioning seat 2 is not inflated, the piston 41 descends in the first direction under the action of the compression spring 44, the inner wall surface of the piston 41 pushes the balls 43 inward along the radial direction of the support cylinder 42, and the plurality of balls 43 simultaneously press the pin 11 inserted into the support cylinder 42, so that the zero point positioning device with the ejection function is in a locked state, as shown in Figure 8 . In other application scenarios, when the inflation hole 25 of the positioning seat 2 is inflated, the high-pressure gas can overcome the downward pressure of the compression spring 44 to make the piston 41 ascend in the first direction, the inner wall surface of the piston 41 removes the inward pushing force on the balls 43, the ejection assembly 3 lifts the positioning disc 12 upward, the pin 11 can be easily pulled out, the plurality of balls 43 retreat into the through holes 421 of the support cylinder 42, so that the zero point positioning device with the ejection function is in an unlocked state, as shown in Figure 7 .

[0058] Further, a first annular sealing member 45 is arranged between the inner wall surface of the piston 41 and the outer wall surface of the support cylinder 42; and / or a second annular sealing member 46 is arranged between the outer wall surface of the piston 41 and the inner wall surface of the accommodation cavity 21; and / or the inner wall surface of the piston 41 is provided with an annular avoiding groove 411. The first annular sealing member 45 and the second annular sealing member 46 can be but are not limited to rubber sealing rings, which improve the air tightness of the lower cavity of the accommodation cavity 21, avoid air leakage during inflation, and affect the ascending speed of the piston 41. When the zero point positioning device with the ejection function enters the unlocked state, the piston 41 ascends in the first direction, and part of the structure of the ball 43 also enters the annular avoiding groove 411 of the piston 41 during the process that the ball 43 retreats into the through hole 421 of the support cylinder 42, so as to ensure that the ball 43 is reset.

[0059] In summary, the positioning module of the zero positioning device with the ejection function is divided into two states of unlocking and locking. When the gas in the lower cavity of the accommodating cavity 21 is depressurized, the piston 41 moves downward under the action of the compression spring 44, the piston 41 pushes the steel ball, the steel ball clamps the pin 11, at this time, the first positioning disc 12 of the positioning disc 12 and the second positioning part 24 of the positioning seat 2 are matched to realize high-standard positioning accuracy, which is the clamping state of the tray assembly 1. When the air is introduced into the lower cavity of the accommodating cavity 21, the piston 41 is pushed to overcome the force of the compression spring 44 to move upward, the steel ball retreats into the annular avoiding groove 411 of the piston 41, and the piston 41 is provided with a counterbore 412 on the upper end face, the counterbore 412 is used in cooperation with the ejection assembly 3, when the piston 41 moves upward, the ejection assembly 3 is pushed to move upward, the ejection assembly 3 pushes the positioning disc 12 to move upward, and this state is the unlocking state. In this state, the ejection assembly 3 is ejected by using the upward force of the piston 41 to eject the positioning disc 12, thereby preventing the phenomenon of the tray being clamped.
