[0027] Reference Figure 1A box-type loading and unloading fixture includes: a frame 100, a transport cart 700, a tilting arm 300, and a clamping mechanism 400. The tilting arm 300 is movably mounted on the frame 100 and can rotate to move closer to or away from the transport cart 700. The clamping mechanism 400 is disposed on the tilting arm 300, offset from the rotation center of the tilting arm 300, and is used to clamp the workpiece and move it closer to or away from the transport cart 700. Using the transport cart 700 to transport workpieces effectively utilizes its flexible and labor-saving characteristics, thus achieving convenient and fast workpiece conveying. After the transport vehicle 700 moves to the frame 100, the tilting arm 300 on the frame 100 can tilt and approach the transport vehicle 700. This allows the clamping mechanism 400 to tilt and move the workpiece from the machining center to the transport vehicle 700, or to tilt and move the material delivered by the transport vehicle 700 to the machining center. This allows for direct and efficient loading and unloading of materials. Using the tilting arm 300 and the transport vehicle 700 for loading and unloading not only effectively improves the efficiency of material handling, but also requires only one operator to control the opening and closing of the transport vehicle 700 or the tilting arm 300, eliminating the need for multiple workers. Therefore, it has the advantage of low personnel requirements and provides a more convenient and faster loading and unloading operation.

[0028] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The frame 100 has tilting arms 300 on both sides, which can rotate synchronously. Multiple clamping mechanisms 400 are installed on each tilting arm 300 in a corresponding manner. The tilting arms 300 on both sides of the frame 100 can clamp and transport the workpiece from both sides, effectively improving the clamping stability during workpiece transport. Furthermore, the tilting arms 300 on both sides of the frame 100 can also position and clamp different sides of the workpiece through their respective clamping mechanisms 400, ensuring that the clamping mechanisms 400 can smoothly pick up the workpiece and prevent it from falling off.

[0029] It is conceivable that there could be only one tilting arm 300, which would directly fit around the outer periphery of the workpiece through a frame structure, thereby clamping the workpiece from multiple directions. Of course, there could also be three, four, or other numbers of tilting arms 300. The specific implementation method can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no limitation is made here.

[0030] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3The clamping mechanism 400 includes a clamping cylinder 450 disposed on the tilting arm 300. The clamping cylinder 450 is connected to a clamping block 470 and can drive it to reciprocate between the two tilting arms 300. After the clamping cylinder 450 is activated, it will drive the clamping block 470 to move. When the two clamping blocks 470 approach each other between the two tilting arms 300, they will clamp the workpiece, thereby achieving the effect of picking up the workpiece. Subsequently, the workpiece can be moved by the movement of the tilting arm 300, thereby achieving the effect of loading and unloading.

[0031] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 The tilting arm 300 is equipped with a steering motor 410 and a rotating frame 430. The steering motor 410 is connected to the rotating frame 430 and can drive it to rotate relative to the tilting arm 300. A clamping cylinder 450 is mounted on the rotating frame 430. When the tilting arm 300 moves the workpiece by the clamping cylinder 450, the tilting arm 300 is tilting, which causes the workpiece to change angle. The steering cylinder can drive the workpiece to rotate relative to the tilting arm 300 during this process, so that the workpiece can maintain a level orientation with the transport vehicle 700 or the machining center. This ensures that the workpiece can enter the machining center or transport vehicle 700 with the correct orientation angle and avoids problems such as collisions and unstable support caused by the workpiece due to angle issues.

[0032] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The frame 100 is equipped with a drive motor 550 and a gearbox 590. The drive motor 550 is connected to a rotating shaft 500 via the gearbox 590. Both tilting arms 300 are connected to the rotating shaft 500 and can rotate with it. After the drive motor 550 starts, it drives the rotating shaft 500 to rotate via the gearbox 590, which in turn drives the two tilting arms 300 to swing together. In this way, the tilting effect of the tilting arms 300 can be achieved simply and directly, thereby smoothly achieving the purpose of moving the workpiece.

[0033] Specifically, the transmission 590 is a gearbox. Of course, the transmission 590 can also be composed of other components, such as using connecting rods or other transmission components to change gears. The specific implementation is not unique and can be adjusted according to actual circumstances; no restrictions are placed here.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The frame 100 is equipped with a control panel 800, and the drive motor 550 and / or clamping mechanism 400 are electrically connected to the control panel 800. The operator can conveniently control the start and stop of the drive motor 550 and / or clamping mechanism 400 through the control panel 800, thereby easily achieving the switching effect of the loading and unloading mechanism, and reducing the need for operator operation.

[0035] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 The frame 100 is equipped with a positioning rod 170, which can abut against the transport cart 700 and perform relative positioning between the transport cart 700 and the frame 100. As the transport cart 700 moves closer to the frame 100, it will abut against the positioning rod 170. At this time, the positioning rod 170 will block the movement of the transport cart 700, preventing it from continuing to move, thus directly and effectively achieving the positioning effect between the transport cart 700 and the frame 100.

[0036] Specifically, the positioning rod 170 is located at the bottom of the frame 100 and serves as a crossbeam at the bottom of the frame 100. Of course, the positioning rod 170 can also be located at other parts of the frame 100, such as the side of the frame 100, and can position the transport vehicle 700 from the side. The specific implementation is not unique and can be adjusted according to actual circumstances; no restrictions are imposed here.

[0037] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 The transport vehicle 700 is equipped with a positioning structure 900 for positioning the workpiece. The positioning structure 900 can accurately and stably place the workpiece on the transport vehicle 700, so as to facilitate the transport vehicle 700 to transport the workpiece and prevent the workpiece from becoming loose during the movement of the transport vehicle 700.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The positioning structure 900 includes multiple positioning corner blocks 970 disposed on the top of the transport vehicle 700, with each positioning corner block 970 distributed around the center of the transport vehicle 700. The positioning corner blocks 970 can surround and limit the workpiece at the edge of the transport vehicle 700, thereby allowing the workpiece to be positioned in the center of the transport vehicle 700, thus successfully achieving the purpose of positioning the workpiece on the transport vehicle 700.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The positioning structure 900 includes a positioning post 930 disposed on the top of the transport vehicle 700. The positioning post 930 is used to insert into the hole on the workpiece and position the workpiece. The positioning post 930 can be inserted and engaged with the hole on the workpiece, thereby directly and effectively achieving the positioning and loading effect between the workpiece and the transport vehicle, thus preventing the workpiece from falling off the transport vehicle.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
