Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transfer pallet technology, and in particular relates to a transfer pallet with clamps. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional assembly line transfer pallet designs generally fall into two categories: one is designed for a single product, where the product is fixed to the pallet device and circulates on the assembly line; the other is a flat transfer pallet structure, where multiple small products can be placed on the flat surface and moved to their respective positions manually or automatically. Product loading and unloading on the assembly line is typically done manually or with the assistance of equipment.

[0003] Traditional flat-structure transfer pallets have a relatively simple design, and are designed for a single product only. They cannot be compatible with the transfer of other products, which has certain limitations. In addition, the pallets do not have a clamping mechanism, so they are unstable when placed and pose a risk of tipping over. Utility Model Content

These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Example

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a transfer pallet with clamps includes a pallet body 7, which is a flat pallet that can be used to clamp small products and transfer them on the production line.

[0028] The pallet body 7 has multiple clamping slots 5, which are distributed on the upper part of the pallet body 7. According to general practice, the number of clamping slots 5 is even, and they are divided into two groups. The two groups of clamping slots 5 are symmetrically arranged on the pallet body 7.

[0029] The clamp assembly is installed within the clamp slot 5. The clamp assembly includes a top seat 8, installed at one end of the clamp slot 5 near the center of the pallet body 7. A buffer seat 9 is bonded to the top seat 8, and the outer surface of the buffer seat 9 has a corrugated pattern 10. A movable seat 11 is movably disposed within the clamp slot 5 and can move along the plane of the pallet body 7 within the clamp slot 5. A transmission rod 12 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 11, and the transmission rod 12 passes through the clamp slot 5 and is connected to the clamping drive assembly. To ensure that the direction of the transmission rod 12's movement trajectory is linear, a guide sleeve 13 is provided at one end of the clamp slot, and the transmission rod 12 passes through the guide sleeve 13 and the clamp slot 5.

[0030] The clamping drive assembly is mounted on the side of the pallet body 7 and is connected to the drive rod 12 in the clamping assembly. The clamping drive assembly includes a worktable 1, mounted on one side of the pallet body 7, preferably secured to it with bolts. A drive cylinder 2 is mounted on the worktable 1. A main drive rod 4 is perpendicular to the drive rods 12, and the same main drive rod 4 drives all the drive rods 12 on the same side. The main drive rod 4 is also connected to the piston of the drive cylinder 2. This design ensures synchronous movement of the movable seats 11 on the same side, guaranteeing uniform operation.

[0031] The pallet body 7 is equipped with cross-shaped reinforcing ribs 6. This is designed for heavy workpieces to ensure that the pallet body 7 does not deform. The lower part of the pallet body 7 is provided with two rows of support bases 16, and the side of the pallet body 7 is provided with lifting rings 3. The aforementioned support bases 16 and lifting rings 3 are designed to cooperate with gantry cranes or forklifts.

[0032] The pallet body 7 has multiple slots on its side, and vertical movable baffles 18 are engaged in these slots. Specifically, the slots are in pairs, each slot including a first slot portion 14 and a second slot portion 15. The first slot portion 14 and the second slot portion 15 are connected and distributed at an angle. Two retaining shafts 17 are provided at the lower part of the movable baffle 18. The two retaining shafts 17 of the movable baffle 18 are engaged in the slots. Generally, the opening of the first slot portion 14 is larger than the opening of the second slot portion 15, and the diameter of the end of the retaining shaft 17 is slightly larger than the diameter of the middle portion of the retaining shaft 17. A typical design is that the opening of the first slot portion 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the end of the retaining shaft 17, but the diameter of the end of the retaining shaft 17 is larger than the opening of the second slot portion 15, and the opening of the second slot portion 15 is slightly larger than the diameter of the middle portion of the retaining shaft 17.

[0033] In use, a robot or other loading equipment, or even a person, inserts a part of a small workpiece into the fixture slot. The structure of the fixture slot is pre-designed to match the workpiece part. Once all the fixture slots are filled with workpieces, two cylinders are activated, causing the movable seat to move closer to the top seat, thus clamping the workpiece.

[0034] When the pallet is transferred to the production workstation, the cylinder releases the clamp between the movable seat and the top seat, making it convenient for operators to adjust the position of the items to be produced and improving production efficiency. In addition, the clamping assembly can clamp the items to be transferred in the horizontal direction, and the clamping force can be changed according to the cylinder model, making it suitable for workpieces of various weights. This not only improves pallet compatibility but also significantly enhances the stability of item transfer.

[0035] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention that follow the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art that are not covered by the invention. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the invention are indicated by the appended claims.

[0036] It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this invention is limited only by the appended claims.
