Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a positioning vehicle and processing line. Background Technology

[0002] In automated product assembly equipment, such as for syringes, product carriers are an essential mechanism. In existing technologies, carriers typically only serve to place the workpieces and do not have the function of aligning them. When workpieces transported by the carrier are clamped to the next process step, misalignment often results in uneven clamping positions, affecting the processing accuracy of the next step. Secondly, existing carriers have poor workpiece positioning, and workpieces are prone to displacement on the carrier, further impacting the accuracy of subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a positioning carrier and processing line that can align and properly position the workpiece.

[0004] A positioning vehicle includes:

[0005] A base having multiple slots provided thereon, the multiple slots being spaced apart along a first direction and extending along a second direction;

[0006] A positioning clamp is disposed on the base and is located near one end of the slot; the positioning clamp has a pressing part that can approach / move away from the end of the slot, and a clamping space is formed between the pressing part and the end of the slot;

[0007] The reset structure, connected to the positioning clamp, is capable of responding to the reset action after the pressing part moves away from the end of the slot.

[0008] In one embodiment, the reset structure includes a fulcrum and an elastic element. The positioning clamp is mounted on the base in a lever-like manner via the fulcrum. The pressing part is located at one end of the positioning clamp, and the elastic element is located at the other end of the positioning clamp and is connected to the base.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fulcrum includes a support rod, a first support groove, and a second support groove. The first support groove is formed through the positioning clamp, and the second support groove is provided on the base. The support rod passes through the first support groove and the second support groove respectively, and is pivotally connected to the first support groove and the second support groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the seat body has a connecting portion protruding from the seat body on the side near the positioning clamp. There are at least two connecting portions, and there is a mounting groove between the two connecting portions. The positioning clamp is disposed in the mounting groove and is connected to the connecting portion in a lever-like manner through the fulcrum.

[0011] In one embodiment, along the height direction, one end of the positioning clamp that connects to the elastic member extends downward and protrudes from the connection portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the positioning clamps are provided in multiples, which are distributed at intervals along a first direction and correspond one-to-one with the card slots.

[0013] In one embodiment, a groove is provided on the base near the positioning clamp, the groove extends along a first direction, and a plurality of slots are respectively connected to the groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, the base body is provided with a clearance groove at a position away from the positioning clamp, the clearance groove extends along a first direction, and the plurality of slots are respectively connected to the groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the slot has a V-shaped structure.

[0016] This application also provides a processing line, including a conveyor belt, a positioning carrier as described in any of the above embodiments, and a pressure device. The positioning carrier is connected to the conveyor belt, and the pressure device is disposed on the side of the conveyor belt. The pressure device includes a reciprocating pressure bar and a driving member. The driving member is connected to the pressure bar to drive the pressure bar to move.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the positioning carrier is equipped with a clamping space. When a workpiece is placed in the slot, its head can be inserted into the clamping space, thus aligning the heads of multiple workpieces and simultaneously aligning the tails to be clamped. This ensures a consistent clamping position when the workpiece is clamped to the next process, improving processing accuracy. Secondly, the pressing part can press the head of the workpiece inserted into the clamping space to achieve workpiece positioning, ensuring that the workpiece will not vibrate or move on the carrier, further improving the uniformity of workpiece position.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 7This application provides a positioning carrier, which includes a base 1, a positioning clamp 2, and a reset structure 3. Specifically, the base 1 has multiple slots 11. The multiple slots 11 are spaced apart along a first direction and extend along a second direction. The positioning clamp 2 is disposed on the base 1 and is located near one end of a slot 11. The positioning clamp 2 has a pressing part 21 that can move closer to / away from the end of the slot 11, and a clamping space 22 is formed between the pressing part 21 and the end of the slot 11. The reset structure 3 is connected to the positioning clamp 2 and can respond to a reset action after the pressing part 21 moves away from the end of the slot 11.

[0030] Understandably, when the workpiece needs to be placed into the slot 11, the external force controls the pressing part 21 on the positioning clamp 2 to move away from the slot 11, increasing the width of the clamping space 22, which facilitates the insertion of the workpiece head. The workpiece is then placed on the base, with the middle part positioned in the slot 11, and the head extending from the openings at both ends of the slot 11 onto the side of the base, inserting into the clamping space 22. After the external force is released, the pressing part 21 returns to its initial state under the action of the reset structure 3, pressing firmly against the workpiece head. The workpiece head abuts against the inner wall of the clamping space 22, fixing the workpiece position and ensuring complete alignment of multiple workpieces. The tail portion of the workpiece to be clamped is also aligned synchronously, ensuring uniform clamping position for the next process and improving machining accuracy. Furthermore, the pressing part 21 can press the workpiece head inserted into the clamping space 22, thereby achieving workpiece positioning and ensuring that the workpiece does not vibrate or shift on the carrier, further improving the uniformity of workpiece position.

[0031] For example, the two ends of the card slot 11 along the second direction are open structures.

[0032] Preferably, the slot 11 has a V-shaped structure. The V-shape can accommodate workpieces of different diameters, increasing the range of workpieces that the carrier can fit and expanding its application range. Of course, it is not limited to this; the slot 11 can also adopt arc, U-shaped, or other structures, as long as it can accommodate different workpiece diameters.

[0033] Furthermore, the reset structure 3 includes a fulcrum 31 and an elastic element 32. The positioning clamp 2 is lever-shaped and mounted on the base 1 via the fulcrum 31. The pressure part 21 is located at one end of the positioning clamp 2, and the elastic element 32 is located at the other end of the positioning clamp 2, and is connected to the base 1.

[0034] The term "lever-shaped" means that after the positioning clamp 2 is connected to the base 1 through the fulcrum 31, the positioning clamp 2 as a whole resembles a lever, and the two ends of the positioning clamp 2 can perform a seesaw motion in opposite directions relative to the fulcrum 31.

[0035] Understandably, the pressing part 21 and the elastic element 32 are respectively located at both ends of the positioning clamp 2. When an external force is applied to one end of the positioning clamp 2 connected to the elastic element 32, the pressing part 21 flips outward around the fulcrum 31 away from the slot 11, and at the same time, the end of the positioning clamp 2 connected to the elastic element 32 also flips inward around the fulcrum 31, compressing the elastic element 32 and causing it to deform. After the external force is removed, the elastic element 32 needs to be reset to its initial state, thereby driving the end of the positioning clamp 2 connected to the elastic element 32 to flip back to its original position, and the pressing part 21 will also flip back to its original position synchronously, achieving automatic reset. There is no need to set up a driving part 202 to drive the reset, resulting in low equipment investment costs. Secondly, if the carrier needs to be connected to the conveyor belt 100 and move with the conveyor belt 100, this structure does not need to consider the power connection, making it easier to implement.

[0036] For example, the elastic element 32 is a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the positioning clamp 2 and the other end is fixedly connected to the seat 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, the fulcrum 31 includes a support rod 311, a first support groove 312, and a second support groove 313. The first support groove 312 is formed through the positioning clamp 2, and the second support groove 313 is provided on the base 1. The support rod 311 passes through the first support groove 312 and the second support groove 313 respectively, and is pivotally connected to the first support groove 312 and the second support groove 313.

[0038] In this structure, the support rod 311, the positioning clamp 2, and the base 1 are all separate components, which makes them easier to process and assemble.

[0039] For example, the support rod 311 adopts a pin, hinge pin, etc., and the first support groove 312 and the second support groove 313 are round holes that cooperate with the support rod 311. While the support rod 311 passes through the first support groove 312 and the second support groove 313, it can rotate relative to the first support groove 312 and the second support groove 313.

[0040] Furthermore, the base 1 has a connecting portion 12 protruding from the base 1 on the side near the positioning clamp 2. Preferably, there are at least two connecting portions 12, with a mounting groove 13 between the two connecting portions 12. The positioning clamp 2 is disposed in the mounting groove 13 and is connected to the connecting portion 12 in a lever-like manner through a fulcrum 31. The connecting portion 12 is easier to process, simplifying the processing steps. The mounting groove 13 can be directly cut into the base 1, making processing convenient.

[0041] Preferably, the thickness of the connecting part 12 is set to be greater than the thickness of the positioning clamp 2. That is, the positioning clamp 2 will not protrude from the connecting part 12, avoiding accidental pressing of the positioning clamp 2 and ensuring that the positioning clamp 2 always presses the workpiece.

[0042] Furthermore, along the height direction, one end of the positioning clamp 2 that connects to the elastic member 32 extends downward and protrudes from the connecting portion 12.

[0043] Understandably, the lower part of the positioning clamp 2 protrudes from the connecting part 12 to ensure that the positioning clamp 2 is not completely covered by the connecting part 12. Without accidental activation, pressing the part protruding from the connecting part 12 will drive the pressing part 21 to flip outward away from the base 1.

[0044] Preferably, the elastic element 32 is connected at the position of the protruding connecting portion 12 to ensure that when this portion is pressed, the elastic element 32 can undergo maximum deformation to provide maximum restoring force to the pressing portion 21.

[0045] In one embodiment, multiple positioning clamps 2 are provided. The multiple positioning clamps 2 are distributed at intervals along the first direction and are configured to correspond one-to-one with the slots 11.

[0046] Understandably, each slot 11 is equipped with a corresponding positioning clamp 2, meaning that each workpiece is pressed by a positioning clamp 2, making it more secure and ensuring that the workpiece will not move.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning element can also be set as a strip, and multiple workpieces can share a positioning clamp 2 for clamping.

[0048] For example, the number of positioning slots is set to be the same as that of positioning clamps 2, and their positions correspond one-to-one with the positions of slots 11. The number of reset structures 3 is also set to be the same as that of positioning clamps 2.

[0049] In one embodiment, a groove 14 is provided on the base 1 near the positioning clamp 2. The groove 14 extends along a first direction, and a plurality of slots 11 are respectively connected to the groove 14.

[0050] Understandably, the head of the workpiece has various specifications. When the head of the workpiece is elliptical, polygonal, or other shapes, its shape can prevent the workpiece from rotating. Therefore, it is only necessary to insert the head of the workpiece into the groove 14, and the movement of the workpiece can be restricted without pressing it.

[0051] In one embodiment, a clearance groove 15 is provided on the base 1 at a position away from the positioning clamp 2. The clearance groove 15 extends along a first direction, and a plurality of slots 11 are respectively connected to the groove 14.

[0052] Understandably, when the workpiece is long, its tail can extend directly outside the seat 1, and the seat will not affect the gripper's ability to hold the tail of the workpiece. However, if the workpiece is short, its tail cannot extend out of the seat 1. Without the clearance groove 15, the gripper would be blocked by the seat 1 and unable to hold the tail of the workpiece, thus making it impossible to hold shorter workpieces. By providing the clearance groove 15, the carrier can adapt to workpieces of different lengths, thus broadening its applicability.

[0053] For example, multiple clearance slots 15 are provided and distributed at intervals along the second direction. In this way, the support of the seat 1 for the workpiece can be guaranteed, and it can better adapt to workpieces of different lengths. Preferably, two clearance slots 15 are provided.

[0054] Please see Figures 6 to 7 This application also provides a processing line, including a conveyor belt 100, a positioning carrier as described in any of the above embodiments, and a pressure applying device 200. The positioning carrier is connected to the conveyor belt 100, and the pressure applying device 200 is disposed on the side of the conveyor belt 100. The pressure applying device 200 includes a reciprocating pressure bar 201 and a driving member 202, the driving member 202 being connected to the pressure bar 201 to drive the pressure bar 201 to move.

[0055] Understandably, when the carrier moves with the conveyor belt 100 to the workpiece loading position, the drive unit 202 drives the pressure rod 201 to move closer to the carrier. The pressure rod 201 abuts against one end of the positioning clamp 2 connected to the elastic member 32, which drives the pressure part 21 to flip outward away from the seat body 1.

[0056] Furthermore, multiple pressure rods 201 are provided, and their number and distribution intervals correspond one-to-one with the multiple positioning clamps 2.

[0057] For example, the driving component 202 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or any other type that can drive the pressure rod 201 to move.

[0058] For example, the conveyor belt 100 can directly adopt the existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0059] In one embodiment, the side of the seat 1 is provided with a C-shaped connecting seat 41, and a connecting plate 42 is embedded in the opening of the connecting seat 41. The connecting plate 42 has protruding teeth that are adapted to the synchronous belt of the conveyor belt 100. A pin 43 is also provided on the connecting seat 41 to restrict the synchronous belt of the conveyor belt 100 within the connecting seat 41, ensuring that the protruding teeth on the connecting plate 42 are always engaged with the synchronous belt. The synchronous belt drives the connecting plate 42 to move, thereby driving the carrier to move.

[0060] Furthermore, the base 1 is connected to multiple rollers 45, which are located at the lower part of the base 1. The rollers 45 form a space for the conveyor belt 100 to be inserted. The rollers 45 are engaged with the guide rail of the conveyor belt 100 to guide the vehicle and ensure that the vehicle is always on the moving track of the conveyor belt 100 and will not detach.

[0061] Furthermore, four rollers 45 are provided, and the four rollers 45 are symmetrically arranged in pairs at the bottom of the base 1, so as to connect the conveyor belt 100 more stably.

[0062] For example, the connections mentioned above can be made by screwing, welding, etc., and there are no specific limitations. The specific number of the multiple connections mentioned above can be selected according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions here.

[0063] 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.
