Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of current collector technology, and in particular to a dual-station slide block. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the process of inserting terminal blocks into power connectors, the terminal blocks on the terminal block strap need to be cut off one by one, and then assembled into the terminal block socket of the power connector through transfer, horizontal rotation, and vertical flipping to complete the insertion of the terminal blocks and sockets. However, during the transfer of terminals or sockets, the transfer between multiple stations is completed by a single gripper, resulting in low transfer efficiency and thus low overall insertion efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem of low transfer efficiency in existing single-station slides, this invention provides a dual-station slide. By installing grippers at both ends of the conveyor slide, operations at two stations can be completed at once when the conveyor slide moves between stations, effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0004] This invention provides a dual-station slide block for use in production lines with at least three stations: a first station, a second station, and a third station. The slide block includes a slide rail and a conveyor slide. Both ends of the conveyor slide are equipped with grippers. The conveyor slide is movably connected to the slide rail via a slider. The first, second, and third stations are all located along the path of the slide rail. By using the conveyor slide with two grippers, parts are transported on the three-station production line. A single movement can simultaneously transfer parts from two stations, effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0005] Furthermore, the first, second, and third workstations are equally spaced, and the distance between the grippers at both ends of the conveyor slide is the same as the distance between adjacent workstations. The distance between workstations is the same as the distance between the two grippers, thus achieving synchronous transfer.

[0006] Furthermore, the conveyor slide includes a mounting plate and a connecting plate. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the slider, and the grippers are disposed at both ends of the connecting plate. The mounting plate is used for slide rail connection, and the connecting plate is used for gripper connection.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting plate is equipped with a longitudinal rail for longitudinal adjustment of the connecting plate, allowing the connecting plate to slide along the longitudinal rail. The distance between the connecting plate and the workstation is adjusted by the longitudinal rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate is also equipped with a cylinder for driving the connecting plate to slide longitudinally. The cylinder is mounted on the mounting plate via a support plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder. The telescopic movement of the cylinder drives the longitudinal displacement of the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate is also equipped with springs for limiting the position of the connecting plate. Two sets of springs are provided, one on each side of the cylinder. Both the mounting plate and the connecting plate have hooks for attaching the springs. The springs' rebound action limits and fixes the connecting plate, preventing excessive downward movement.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the mounting plate is also provided with a baffle for limiting the position of the connecting plate, and the baffle is provided with a limiting rod that can abut against the bottom surface of the connecting plate. The limiting rod is provided to further prevent the connecting plate from moving excessively downward.

[0011] Furthermore, the gripper includes a drive unit and a clamping unit. A second longitudinal track is provided on the connecting plate for the drive unit to slide longitudinally, and a turntable is provided between the clamping unit and the drive unit. The distance between the gripper and the workstation is adjusted by the second longitudinal track.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This utility model provides a dual-station slide. By setting grippers at both ends of the conveyor slide, when the conveyor slide moves between stations along the slide rail, the transfer of parts on two stations can be completed in one movement, thereby effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0019] Traditional single-jaw conveyor slides can only transfer parts to one station in a single movement. To improve the efficiency of part transfer, a dual-station slide is designed, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in a production line with at least three stations, the three stations are designated as station 11, station 12, and station 13. Each station includes a slide rail 1 and a conveyor slide 2. Both ends of the conveyor slide 2 are equipped with grippers 3. The conveyor slide 2 is movably connected to the slide rail 1 via a slider. Stations 11, 12, and 13 are all located along the path of the slide rail 1. During the assembly of the terminal blocks, station 11 is the insertion station, station 12 is the finished product inspection station after insertion, and station 13 is the finished product sorting station after inspection. The finished products are transferred using the double-gripper 3 slide structure. A single movement of the conveyor slide 2 can simultaneously transfer the inserted finished products from station 11 to station 12 for inspection, and transfer the inspected finished products from station 12 to station 13 for sorting, thereby effectively improving the parts transfer efficiency.

[0020] To ensure that parts can be transferred between two stations in one move, the first station 11, the second station 12 and the third station 13 are set at equal intervals, and the distance between the grippers 3 at both ends of the conveyor slide 2 is the same as the distance between the adjacent stations.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, to achieve stable installation of the gripper 3, the conveyor slide 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and a connecting plate 22. The mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the slider, and the gripper 3 is disposed at both ends of the connecting plate 22. The conveyor slide 2 slides with the slide rail 1 through the mounting plate 21, and the connecting plate 22 on which the gripper 3 is mounted is movably connected to the mounting plate 21.

[0022] To adjust the distance between the gripper 3 and the workstation, the mounting plate 21 is equipped with a longitudinal track 4 for longitudinal adjustment of the connecting plate 22, which can slide along the longitudinal track 4. The mounting plate 21 is also equipped with a cylinder 5 for driving the longitudinal sliding of the connecting plate 22. The cylinder 5 is mounted on the mounting plate 21 via a support plate 51, and the connecting plate 22 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 5. The telescopic movement of the cylinder 5 drives the connecting plate 22 to slide along the longitudinal track 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the gripper 3 and the workstation.

[0023] While limiting the movement of the connecting plate 22, the mounting plate 21 is also equipped with springs 6 for limiting the movement of the connecting plate 22. There are two sets of springs 6, which are respectively set on both sides of the cylinder 5. Both the mounting plate 21 and the connecting plate 22 are equipped with buckles 7 for the springs 6 to be hung on. When the cylinder 5 moves the connecting plate 22 downward, it is constrained by the springs 6 to ensure that the downward speed of the connecting plate 22 is not too fast and that the connecting plate 22 will not disengage from the longitudinal track 4.

[0024] In order to further limit the connection plate 22, a baffle 8 for limiting the connection plate 22 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 21. The baffle 8 is provided with a limiting rod 81 that can abut against the bottom surface of the connection plate 22.

[0025] To accommodate the placement angle of parts at various workstations, the gripper 3 includes a drive unit 31 and a clamping unit 32. The connecting plate 22 is provided with a longitudinal track 29 for the drive unit 31 to slide longitudinally. A turntable 33 is provided between the clamping unit 32 and the drive unit 31. The drive unit 31 is a cylinder structure, and the clamping unit 32 is a mechanical gripper. The clamping unit 32 drives the parts to rotate through the turntable 33 to adjust the placement angle.

[0026] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive of this utility model. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, and all such modifications, variations or equivalents will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
