[0028] Example one:

[0029] In order to make the utility model purposes, technical scheme and advantages more clearly, below will combine the utility model embodiment with further detailed description of the drawing.

[0030] The embodiment provides a kind of mobile tray automatic positioning device, meet the requirement of accurate positioning by the way of mechanical structure and sensor positioning combination, while simple structure, stable;As Figure 1 And Figure 2 Shown, the embodiment includes push part 1, stop mechanism 2, mechanical position sensor 4 and laser sensor 3, by mechanical position sensor 4 and laser sensor 3 cooperation, system confirms both signals, guarantees tray position information.

[0031] In the embodiment, push part 1 is the power source for linear drive effect, it can be cylinder, hydraulic cylinder etc., when push part 1 is cylinder, cylinder connects high pressure pipeline, realizes the push-pull action of cylinder piston rod by the gas filling and discharging of high pressure pipeline, realizes the high pressure gas pump of pipeline gas filling and discharging and is controlled by central control system;Wherein, central control system is prior art, not repeated here.

[0032] Push part 1 is hydraulic cylinder, and hydraulic cylinder connects hydraulic pipeline to provide hydraulic oil to hydraulic cylinder.

[0033] It can be understood that, in other embodiments, push part 1 can also be linear motor.

[0034] Stop mechanism 2 includes stop 21, stop support (not shown in the figure) and connecting rod mechanism, stop 21 is connected with push part 1 by connecting rod mechanism, to realize stop 21 state switching under the action of push part 1;In the embodiment, stop 21 has two states, one is that the working surface of stop 21 is in contact with mobile tray, i.e. blocking state;Two is that stop 21 rotates a certain angle, so that mobile tray can move, i.e. pass state.

[0035] In the embodiment, the connecting rod mechanism comprises a first connecting rod 22 and a second connecting rod 23, one end of the first connecting rod 22 is rotationally connected with the stop 21, the other end of the first connecting rod 22 is rotationally connected with one end of the second connecting rod 23, and the other end of the second connecting rod 23 is rotationally connected with the connecting rod support 24. The connecting rod support 24 is provided with a stop support on one side, and the connecting rod support 24, the stop support and the pushing part 1 are all installed on the upper side of the support base 5. The stop 21 is also rotationally connected with the stop support, and the state of the stop 21 is changed under the pushing action of the pushing part 1 through the above structure.

[0036] It should be noted that the rotationally connected in the embodiment is realized by the hinged mode.

[0037] When the stop 21 is in the blocking state, the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 23 are located in the same vertical plane, and at this time, the piston rod of the cylinder (or hydraulic cylinder) is in the initial state. The end of the piston rod is connected to the connecting position of the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 23. When the piston rod is elongated, the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 23 are pushed to move, and under the traction of the two, the stop 21 is rotated relative to the stop support, and the blocking part 211 is moved to a position below the moving tray, until completely separated from the moving tray, that is, reaches the blocking state.

[0038] The stop 21 comprises a blocking part 211 and a mounting part 212, which are connected as a whole. In the embodiment, the blocking part 211 is a rectangular plate, and one side surface thereof is a working surface, that is, a surface capable of contacting the moving tray. The blocking part 211 is connected with the mounting part 212 on the side opposite to the working surface, and the mounting part 212 plays a role of connecting with the stop support and the first connecting rod 22.

[0039] It can be understood that in other embodiments, in order to facilitate the connection of the stop support and the first connecting rod 22, the mounting part 212 is provided in a hook-shaped structure, which has a first connecting position and a second connecting position. The first connecting position is the position of one end of the mounting part 212, which is rotationally connected with the stop support. The second connecting position is the position of the corner of the mounting part 212, which is rotationally connected with the first connecting rod 22.

[0040] In order to avoid the problem that the setting of a single sensor affects the operation of the device, the mechanical position sensor 4 and the laser sensor 3 are provided in the embodiment. The laser sensor 3 is installed at a corresponding position of the side beam of the conveying belt and is located on one side of the stop 21. When the moving tray moves to the position where the laser sensor 3 is located, the laser sensor 3 can judge whether there is a tray and whether the tray is in place. A sensor matching signal sticker is placed on the fixed position of the side surface of the tray, which is convenient for the laser sensor 3 to identify.

[0041] The mechanical position sensor 4 is installed on one side of the second connecting rod 23, and comprises a sensor body and a roller mechanism, and in the initial state, the roller mechanism is in contact with the second connecting rod 23, when the pushing part 1 drives the second connecting rod 23 to move, the roller mechanism is driven to move, so that the sensor body records and feeds back the position information, and through setting the position of the roller mechanism when the blocking and releasing actions are completed, the boundary signal of the position sensor is set as the judgment signal of the action completion of the stop mechanism 2.

[0042] The double signals of the laser sensor 3 and the mechanical position sensor 4 are used in cooperation, so that the accurate positioning of the moving tray can be effectively ensured, and when a single sensor fails, the system can still normally operate through a single sensor signal, so that the operation stability of the positioning device is ensured.

[0043] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, and for those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
