Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a tooling trolley. Background Technology
[0002] Sheet-shaped workpieces are pressed using a press. After the workpieces to be processed are stacked on the corresponding fixtures, they are pressed in one go by the press. After the pressing operation is completed, operators need to enter the press and remove the pressed stacked material from the fixtures.
[0003] It can be seen that the need for operators to enter the press poses certain safety hazards during the operation. Furthermore, the limited space inside the press makes the aforementioned operations time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in relatively low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a tooling trolley that is highly applicable and has a compact structure.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A tooling trolley includes a frame, rollers, a stacking mold, and a transverse guide assembly. The rollers are connected to the lower part of the frame, the stacking mold is connected to the upper part of the frame, the transverse guide assembly is connected to the upper part of the frame, and the stacking mold is connected to the upper part of the transverse guide assembly. The stacking mold is used to stack sheet materials. Under the action of the transverse guide assembly, the stacking mold can move laterally smoothly. The transverse guide assembly also has a limiting structure. When the limiting structure is in the limiting state, the stacking mold is positioned and connected to the frame. When the limiting structure is unlocked, the stacking mold can move laterally stably under the action of external force.
[0006] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, a flat base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame.
[0007] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, a flat top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the frame, and the aforementioned stacking mold and transverse guide assembly are both located on the top plate.
[0008] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, the transverse guide assembly includes a long plate-shaped guide plate with protruding guide edges on both sides in the width direction. The aforementioned stacking mold is connected to the upper part of the guide plate and is located between the two guide edges.
[0009] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, the cross-section of the guide edge is L-shaped, the inner sides of the two guide edges are arranged facing each other, the bottom of the guide edge is in surface contact with the guide plate and the two are fixedly connected, and the edge of the aforementioned stacking mold is embedded in the inner corner of the corresponding guide edge's L-shape.
[0010] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, the limiting structure includes a limiting hole through the guide plate and a plate-shaped limiting plate. The lower end of the limiting plate is connected to the limiting hole, and the upper end of the limiting plate abuts against the side of the stacking mold.
[0011] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, there are two limiting structures, which are located on the front and rear sides of the stacking mold, respectively, with the limiting plates of the two limiting structures abutting against the front and rear of the stacking mold.
[0012] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, the guide plate and the frame are connected by a linear bearing. A lifting rod is axially fixed on the top plate and can rotate. A lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower part of the guide plate. The lifting rod is embedded in the lifting cylinder and the two are threadedly connected.
[0013] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, a locking nut is also threaded onto the lifting rod, and the locking nut abuts against the lower end of the lifting cylinder.
[0014] In the aforementioned tooling trolley, the stacking mold includes a base plate and several mold rods. The base plate is flat, and there are several mold rods, all of which are vertically connected to the upper part of the base plate. The mold rods and the upper part of the base plate form a stacking portion for limiting the sheet material. The left and right sides of the base plate are respectively connected to the corresponding guide edges, and the limiting plate can abut against the front and rear positions of the base plate.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the stacking die in this tooling trolley can move laterally along the guide plate, thus allowing for flexible movement and facilitating stacking or unloading operations. Specifically, product stacking and removal are performed outside the press vacuum chamber, significantly improving operational convenience. Furthermore, it can be performed simultaneously with press pressing, more than doubling work efficiency while eliminating safety hazards.
[0016] By adjusting the installation position between the die rod and the base plate of the stacking die, it is possible to limit the movement of products of various sizes, making it highly applicable.
[0017] Moreover, the entire vehicle is movable, which further enhances its applicability and gives it high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this tooling trolley includes a frame 1, rollers 2, a stacking mold, and a transverse guide assembly. The rollers 2 are connected to the lower part of the frame 1, the stacking mold is connected to the upper part of the frame 1, the transverse guide assembly is connected to the upper part of the frame 1, and the stacking mold is connected to the upper part of the transverse guide assembly. The stacking mold is used to stack sheet materials. Under the action of the transverse guide assembly, the stacking mold can move laterally smoothly. The transverse guide assembly also has a limiting structure. When the limiting structure is in the limiting state, the stacking mold is positioned and connected to the frame 1. When the limiting structure is unlocked, the stacking mold can move laterally stably under the action of external force.
[0025] The roller 2 allows the entire tooling trolley to move freely, facilitating actual operation. Of course, roller 2 is equipped with a lock; when the lock is unlocked, the roller rotates freely, allowing the entire tooling trolley to move easily and freely.
[0026] Once the lock is engaged, roller 2 no longer rotates freely, and the entire tooling trolley is positioned. Both roller 2 and the lock are existing casters. Since casters are existing technology, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0027] After the limiting structure is unlocked, the stacking die can move horizontally on the lateral guide component. This allows the stacking die to easily switch smoothly between the stacking operation and the unloading operation.
[0028] Of course, the translation of the stacking die on the lateral guide assembly is achieved by the pushing force applied by the operator.
[0029] The bottom of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to a flat base plate 3.
[0030] Base plate 3 has two functions:
[0031] Firstly, the lower part of frame 1 is reinforced to increase its strength;
[0032] Secondly, the base plate 3 has enough space to place tools, making them easy to retrieve during operation.
[0033] A flat top plate 4 is fixed to the top of the frame 1, and the aforementioned stacking mold and transverse guide assembly are both located on the top plate 4.
[0034] The top plate 4 reinforces the upper part of the frame 1.
[0035] The transverse guide assembly includes a long plate-shaped guide plate 5, with protruding guide edges 6 on both sides in the width direction of the guide plate 5. The stacking mold is connected to the upper part of the guide plate 5 and is located between the two guide edges 6.
[0036] The two sides of the stacking die are limited by corresponding guides along the 6th axis. This structure ultimately allows the stacking die to move laterally only under the action of external force.
[0037] In this embodiment, the outer end of the guide plate 5 extends out of the frame 1, and a positioning pin can be connected to the outer end of the guide plate 5. This structure allows the tooling trolley to be connected to the corresponding preparation equipment, and after connection, the frame 1 is kept as far away from the preparation equipment as possible.
[0038] The cross-section of the guide edge 6 is L-shaped, and the inner sides of the two guide edges 6 are arranged facing each other. The bottom of the guide edge 6 is in surface contact with the guide plate 5 and the two are fixedly connected. The edge of the stacking mold is embedded in the inner corner of the corresponding guide edge 6.
[0039] The guide along line 6 not only guides the stacking die, but also reduces the contact area of the stacking die, ensuring stable translation of the stacking die.
[0040] The limiting structure includes a limiting hole 5a through the guide plate 5 and a plate-shaped limiting plate 7. The lower end of the limiting plate 7 is connected to the limiting hole 5a, and the upper end of the limiting plate 7 abuts against the side of the stacking mold.
[0041] The limiting plate 7 is detachably connected to the connecting hole 5a. When the limiting plate 7 is connected to the connecting hole 5a, it can stably limit the stacking mold.
[0042] The number of limiting structures is two, and the two limiting structures are located at the front and rear sides of the stacking mold respectively. The limiting plates 7 in the two limiting structures abut against the front and rear of the stacking mold respectively.
[0043] This structure can stably limit the stacking die on the guide plate 5.
[0044] The guide plate 5 is connected to the frame 1 by a linear bearing. A lifting rod 8 is axially fixed on the top plate 5 and the lifting rod 8 can rotate. A lifting cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the guide plate 5. The lifting rod 8 is embedded in the lifting cylinder 9 and the two are threaded together.
[0045] After applying external force to rotate the lifting rod 8, since the lifting cylinder 9 cannot rotate, the guide plate 5 will move up and down relative to the top plate 4.
[0046] Meanwhile, under the action of the linear bearing, the guide plate 5 can eventually move up and down smoothly.
[0047] The lifting rod 8 is also threaded with a locking nut 10, which abuts against the lower end of the lifting cylinder 9.
[0048] The lifting cylinder 9 is locked by locking nut 10 to prevent the guide plate 5 from moving downward.
[0049] The stacking mold includes a base plate 11 and a plurality of mold rods 12. The base plate 11 is flat, and there are a plurality of mold rods 12, all of which are vertically connected to the upper part of the base plate 11. The plurality of mold rods 12 and the upper part of the base plate 11 form a stacking part for limiting the sheet material. The left and right sides of the base plate 11 are respectively connected to the corresponding guide edges 6. The limiting plate 7 can abut against the front and rear positions of the base plate 11.
[0050] The stacking die in this tooling trolley can move laterally along the guide plate, allowing for flexible movement and convenient stacking or unloading operations. Specifically, product stacking and removal are performed outside the press vacuum chamber, significantly improving ease of operation. This allows for simultaneous pressing with the press, more than doubling work efficiency while eliminating safety hazards.
[0051] By adjusting the installation position between the die rod and the base plate of the stacking die, it is possible to limit the movement of products of various sizes, making it highly applicable.
[0052] Moreover, the entire vehicle is movable, which further enhances its applicability and gives it high practical value.
[0053] In this embodiment, a rotatable ball bearing is connected along the length of the guide rail, and the lower part of the substrate abuts against a portion of the ball bearing, which reduces the resistance during the movement of the stacking die.
[0054] The technical features of the above-described 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.
[0055] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
