Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material equidistant handling technology, specifically a shift fork mechanism for material equidistant handling. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, equidistant material handling is a crucial process, widely used in automated production lines, warehousing systems, and logistics transportation. Traditional equidistant material handling mechanisms mostly employ mechanical transmission methods, such as chains, belts, or gears, to achieve equidistant material handling through continuous or intermittent motion. However, these traditional mechanisms have some significant limitations.

[0003] First, traditional equidistant material handling mechanisms have relatively long work cycles. Due to the complexity of their mechanical structure and the presence of motion inertia, it is difficult to achieve high-speed, high-precision material handling operations. This not only limits the overall efficiency of the production line but also increases energy consumption and equipment wear.

[0004] Secondly, traditional facilities occupy a large space, posing significant challenges to the layout and planning of the production site.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional equidistant material handling mechanisms also suffer from shortcomings in adaptability and flexibility. Due to the fixed and limited nature of their mechanical structures, they are difficult to adjust and optimize quickly according to actual needs, making it difficult to meet the diverse and flexible production demands of modern industrial production.

[0006] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a shift fork mechanism for equidistant material handling. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shift fork mechanism for equidistant material handling, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A technical solution for a shift fork mechanism for equidistant material handling includes a clamp return line. Multiple sets of clamps are evenly distributed on the clamp return line. Each clamp has a locking block mounted on its side. An electric cylinder is mounted at the bottom of the clamp return line. A push rod is mounted on the moving end of the electric cylinder. Multiple sets of push plates are evenly distributed on the push rod. A guide seat is mounted on each push plate. A wedge is disposed within the guide seat. A wedge swing rod is disposed on the adjacent side of the wedge. The wedge swing rod is located to the left of the locking block. A shift fork elastic block is disposed to the right of the locking block. The shift fork elastic block is installed within the guide seat and is arranged in a right-angled triangular shape.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the fixture has a positioning notch on its side, and a fixture positioning block is installed in the positioning notch. The fixture positioning block is installed on the fixture return line.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a clamping cylinder is installed above the return line of the fixture, and a clamping seat is connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the clamping seat is used for fixing the fixture.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom of the clamps is designed with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between the clamps and the material and prevent the material from sliding or falling during handling.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention relates to a fork mechanism for equidistant material handling. By employing an electric cylinder to drive a push rod and a wedge block on a push plate that engages with the elastic block of the fork, precise control of the clamp is achieved, thereby enabling high-speed, equidistant material handling. This significantly improves the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0021] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a shift fork mechanism for equidistant material handling: including a clamp return line 1, an electric cylinder 21, a push rod 22, a push plate 23, a wedge block 24, a guide seat 25, a shift fork elastic block 26, a wedge block swing rod 27, a clamp positioning block 28, a clamp 3, a locking block 31, a clamping cylinder 4, and a clamping seat 41.

[0023] The clamp return line 1 is the main part of the entire mechanism, on which multiple sets of clamps 3 are evenly distributed. These clamps 3 are used to clamp and transport materials. Each clamp 3 has a positioning notch on its side, and a clamp positioning block 28 is installed in the positioning notch. The clamp positioning block 28 is fixed on the clamp return line 1 to ensure the accurate positioning of the clamp 3 on the return line.

[0024] In addition, the bottom of each clamp 3 is designed with anti-slip texture to increase friction with the material and prevent the material from sliding or falling during handling.

[0025] An electric cylinder 21 is installed at the bottom of the fixture return line 1, and the moving end of the electric cylinder 21 is connected to a push rod 22. Multiple sets of push plates 23 are installed at equal intervals on the push rod 22, and a guide seat 25 is installed on each push plate 23. A wedge block 24 is provided inside the guide seat 25, and a wedge block swing rod 27 is provided on the adjacent side of the wedge block 24.

[0026] When the electric cylinder 21 is activated, the push rod 22 will drive the push plate 23 and the wedge 24 on it to move together. Since there is an interaction force between the wedge 24 and the wedge rocker arm 27, when the wedge 24 moves, it will push the wedge rocker arm 27 to swing.

[0027] Each clamp 3 has a locking block 31 installed on its side. A shift fork elastic block 26 is provided on the right side of the locking block 31. The shift fork elastic block 26 is installed in the guide seat 25 and is arranged in a right-angled triangular shape. When the wedge rocker arm 27 swings, it will squeeze the shift fork elastic block 26, thereby pushing the locking block 31 and the clamp 3 to move along the clamp return line 1.

[0028] To ensure that the clamp 3 can firmly hold the material during the handling process, a clamping cylinder 4 is also installed above the clamp return line 1. The output end of the clamping cylinder 4 is connected to the clamping seat 41, which is used to fix the clamp 3. When it is necessary to handle the material, the clamping cylinder 4 will drive the clamping seat 41 to move downward, so that the clamp 3 firmly holds the material.

[0029] During operation, the electric cylinder 21 drives the push rod 22 and the wedge 24 on the push plate 23 to move. The movement of the wedge 24 pushes the wedge rocker arm 27 to swing, which in turn pushes the clamping block 31 and the clamp 3 to move equidistantly along the clamp return line 1 through the elastic block 26. At the same time, the clamping cylinder 4 drives the clamping seat 41 to firmly clamp the clamp 3 onto the material, ensuring the stability and safety of the material during the handling process.

[0030] Through the detailed description of the structure and working principle above, it can be seen that the shift fork mechanism for equidistant material handling provided in this embodiment has the advantages of compact structure, small space occupation, high handling efficiency and strong adaptability.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: After the utility model is installed, work according to the above implementation method until all working steps are completed.
