Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic positioning fixture system, and in particular to an automatic positioning fixture switching device for measuring and inspecting machined products. Background Technology

[0002] Positioning fixtures are mechanical structures used to reliably position parts during measurement, ensuring the stability of the part's position during the manufacturing process. They are widely used in applications requiring precise product positioning, such as machining precision in the machining industry and assembly precision in the automated assembly industry. Any situation requiring precise positioning that cannot be achieved through non-physical identification necessitates the use of positioning fixtures to achieve structural positioning and meet the process requirements of stable positioning. The structure of positioning fixtures is limited by factors such as product process, structural characteristics, production capacity control, and batch consistency accuracy control. Therefore, they need to be customized based on the product being measured, designing a positioning structure that meets the specific needs of a particular part or a specific type of part. They are purely non-standard mechanical structures, requiring customized, dedicated operation.

[0003] In automated production lines, excessive positioning fixtures can lead to problems. During mixed-line production or model switching, the high precision requirements of these fixtures often prevent them from meeting the needs for rapid line integration. This necessitates repeated manual calibration and testing. Excessive fixture switching significantly impacts the continuous production of the line and is also limited by the experience of the workers. Utility Model Content

[0017] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) Tooling switching and removal system: According to the specific product of the production line, a standard product positioning tooling system can be customized (the structure of the positioning tooling mounting plate that contacts the tooling switching and removal system and the product detection position lifting and positioning system is the same for different products), thereby avoiding the problems of non-standard positioning base and specific positioning mechanism, avoiding the need for manual positioning mechanism switching when switching products on the production line, and avoiding the need to repeatedly switch and adjust the position accuracy of the positioning mechanism according to different products;

[0019] (2) In the product tooling positioning system, the existing technology requires different positioning mechanisms for positioning tooling of different products. The batch accuracy control of the same series and grade parts is affected by the positioning mechanism, which ultimately affects the different product quality of the same type of products on the same line. In this automatic positioning tooling switching equipment, the difference between different product tooling positioning systems is solved by customizing the standard product tooling positioning system of the line (the product positioning tooling system of different products has the same structure at the positioning tooling mounting plate that contacts the tooling switching and removal system and the product detection position lifting and positioning system, and the positioning groove, angle positioning component and other structures on the product positioning mold are the same. Only the product positioning mold is designed and adapted). This reduces the difference tolerance of multiple auxiliary equipment and improves the product quality of the line.

[0020] (3) The switching position, positioning structure and working position of the product tooling positioning system do not interfere with each other, realizing the synchronous switching of production line and product positioning tooling in the same cycle, improving the production efficiency of the line, and increasing the overall line opening rate by 10%.

[0021] (4) The maintenance of the product positioning fixture system, the dual separation of the switching position maintenance and the working position, can realize the inspection, maintenance and other non-process work of the product positioning fixture system without affecting the normal production of the line, and meet the process requirements of production, maintenance and upkeep on the same line and at the same pace.

[0022] (5) The operation method of the automatic positioning tooling switching equipment includes the following steps: (S1) First, the positioning tooling mounting plate of the product positioning tooling system is assembled onto the tapered positioning pin group at one end of the tooling switching and removal system for positioning assembly; the pneumatic power connector of the tooling switching and removal system is manually connected to the power connector of the positioning cylinder; an external air pressure sensor is connected to the gap detection power connector; (S2) The model of the product positioning mold of the product positioning tooling system is compared with the production scheduling requirements by the tooling in-situ identification detection device; (S3) The product is installed on the product positioning mold of the product positioning tooling system, and the product in-situ detection device detects the product. Whether the product is in place is determined by monitoring the air pressure and flow rate of an external air pressure sensor to see if the product fits the product positioning mold, thus determining whether the product is installed correctly. After confirming that the product is installed correctly, the positioning cylinder drives the wedge-shaped positioning block to embed into the positioning groove of the product positioning mold, achieving radial positioning of the product. (S4) In the tooling switching and removal system, the product positioning tooling system and the product are moved to the detection position of the external testing equipment by a slide table drive cylinder. (S5) When the product arrives at the detection position of the external testing equipment, the lifting and lowering positioning system of the product detection position is activated. The cylinder drives the mounting block and positioning fixture support rod to move upward, achieving precise positioning of the positioning fixture mounting plate of the product positioning fixture system through the axial positioning structure, eliminating the repetitive position problem caused by the fixture switching and removal system, and avoiding affecting the detection accuracy; (S6) After the product is inspected by external testing equipment, the product detection position lifting and positioning system is reset, so that the product positioning fixture system is placed back on the tapered positioning pin group at one end of the fixture switching and removal system. The slide table drive cylinder drives the fixture mounting plate, product positioning fixture system and product to continue to move to the other end, and remove the inspected product; (S7) In the previous When one end of the tooling switching and removal system completes the operations from step S1 to step S5 for testing, the operations from step S1 to step S3 can be completed at the other end of the next tooling switching and removal system; while the previous tooling switching and removal system is performing step S6, the next tooling switching and removal system is performing the operations from step S4 to step S5; (S8) When an external measuring device is testing the product input into one of the tooling switching and removal systems, the product positioning tooling system on the other tooling switching and removal system can be switched synchronously with different models of product positioning tooling systems according to the production scheduling requirements, without affecting the testing of the products in place.
