Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automated equipment, and in particular relates to a carrier that cooperates with a pressing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A carrier (i.e., a production line carrier or tooling fixture) is a specialized tool or device used in industrial production to carry, fix, transport, or position materials, semi-finished products, or finished products. They are typically used in automated production lines, assembly lines, or testing processes. In production lines, assembly lines, or testing processes, to accurately and efficiently process and test products within the carrier, a pressing mechanism is commonly used to apply downward pressure to the products, thus fixing them within the carrier. Alternatively, when pressure testing is required on the products within the carrier, a pressing mechanism is also used to apply downward pressure.

[0003] If the bottom wall of the product is not flat, that is, the bottom wall of the product cannot fit completely with the carrier, when the pressing mechanism applies downward pressure to the product, the bottom surface of the product will simultaneously generate a reaction force of equal magnitude and opposite direction. At this time, because the bottom wall of the product cannot fit completely with the carrier, the fulcrum of the product is subjected to uneven force, which will damage the product.

[0004] Alternatively, if the middle part of the product is a floor structure for mounting components, and conventional carriers, in order to avoid processing and testing components within the floor structure of the product by equipment at the work station, generally only support the bottom wall of the product around one circumference. Therefore, after the pressing mechanism applies downward pressure to the product, the external force (such as the pressure) will be concentrated in the remaining material area, resulting in a significant increase in local stress. At this time, the bottom wall of the product will be prone to deformation and breakage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a carrier that works in conjunction with a pressing mechanism to solve the technical problems described in the background art.

[0006] The vehicle that cooperates with the pressing mechanism includes:

[0007] The top plate has a tray for placing products, and the tray has several support holes. Each support hole contains a support column that can be raised and lowered and floats.

[0008] The base plate is equipped with springs and fixing modules. The number and position of the springs correspond to the number and position of the support columns. The springs are used to support the support columns so that the support columns extend out of the support holes.

[0009] After the product is placed in the loading tank, the product presses down on the support column by its own weight until multiple parts of the bottom wall of the product are in contact with the support column. After that, the fixing module fixes the height of the support column at this time, and finally provides support for the product.

[0010] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. When a product with a non-planar bottom wall is placed in the loading tank, the bottom wall of the product contacts the support column. At this time, the product pushes the support column that is first in contact with it by its own weight until multiple parts of the bottom wall of the product are in contact with the support column. Then, the support column is fixed by the fixing module. At this time, when the pressing mechanism applies downward pressure to the product, each support column can support multiple parts of the bottom wall of the product to avoid damage caused by uneven force on the fulcrum of the product.

[0012] 2. When the middle part of the product is a floor structure for mounting components, since the support columns can contact the bottom wall at different heights, after the product is placed in the loading groove, the support columns can not only support the bottom wall of the product around the perimeter, but also support the middle part of the product and the components mounted on the product. When the pressing mechanism applies pressure to the product and the components on the product, it can effectively support the product, thereby preventing the product from deforming or breaking.

[0013] 3. Compared to the traditional method of using a customized carrier to fit the bottom wall of the product and thus support multiple parts of the bottom wall, the height of the support column of this utility model can be adaptively adjusted according to different products. Therefore, it can support products of different shapes and has a relatively high degree of versatility.

[0014] To further optimize the above technical solutions, they can be combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0015] In some embodiments, the base plate is provided with a number of bottom holes, the number and position of which correspond to the number and position of the support columns, so that the bottom end of the support column can pass through the bottom holes;

[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, this utility model further achieves the following beneficial effects: enabling the support column to move more stably in a straight line, rising and falling.

[0017] Traditional fixing modules typically use clamps, cylinders, or lead screws to clamp items with force. As a result, after repeated and prolonged fixing of the support column, the hanging rod may become damaged. In addition, the hanging rod may also shift during the fixing process, causing scratches to the items.

[0018] Therefore, in some embodiments, the fixed module includes a control slot, one or both sides of which are cut into the bottom hole, and the control slot is provided with an elastically deformable pipe connected to a gas source or a water source.

[0019] After the product's bottom wall is in contact with the support column at multiple locations, an air source or water source supplies air or liquid to the pipeline, causing the pipeline to expand and push the support column against the inner wall of one side of the bottom hole for tight fixation.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can further achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. Because the pipeline can deform elastically, when the pipeline expands and pushes the support column against the inner wall of the bottom hole for tight fixation, the hardness of the support column can prevent the pipeline from expanding further, thereby avoiding damage to the support rod. In addition, after the support column comes into contact with the product, the friction between the support column and the product can also prevent further expansion, thereby avoiding excessive displacement of the support column and scratching of the product.

[0022] 2. When the air source supplies air to the road, the compressibility of air allows for a certain buffer range to be provided for the support column when fixing the support rod, thereby preventing further damage to the support rod and scratches to the product.

[0023] In some implementations, there is a gap between the bottom hole and the support column;

[0024] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the present invention further achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. During the contact period between the support column and the object, provide the support rod with space to adjust its position and tilt, so that the support rod can better contact and adhere to the object;

[0026] 2. When the support rod is raised and lowered, it can reduce the friction between the hanging rod and the airbag tube, thereby improving the life of the airbag tube, spring and support rod.

[0027] In some embodiments, the fixing module includes a misalignment slide rail and a misalignment cylinder. The misalignment slide rail is fixed to the top plate, and the bottom plate is equipped with a misalignment slider that slides on the misalignment slide rail. The misalignment cylinder is used to push the bottom plate to cause the bottom hole to be misaligned or aligned with the support hole.

[0028] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the present invention further achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. Optionally, after multiple parts of the bottom wall of the product are in contact with each support column, a misalignment cylinder is used to push the bottom plate to cause the bottom hole and the support hole to be misaligned, thereby clamping and fixing the support rod.

[0030] 2. Alternatively, after the pipeline expands and pushes the support column to the inner wall of the bottom hole for tight fixation, a misalignment cylinder is used to push the base plate to cause the bottom hole and the support hole to be misaligned, so as to clamp and reinforce the support rod, thereby providing sufficient support force to the product when the pressing mechanism applies pressure to the product.

[0031] In some implementations, a buffer is provided at one or both ends of the misaligned slide rail to limit the movement of the base plate;

[0032] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, this utility model further achieves the following beneficial effects: when the misalignment cylinder pushes the base plate and causes the bottom hole and support hole to be misaligned, it can avoid excessive misalignment between the bottom hole and support hole, thereby avoiding damage to the support column. In addition, the misalignment cylinder can also push the base plate more precisely to align the bottom hole and support hole.

[0033] In some embodiments, a carrier that cooperates with a pressing mechanism further includes a base plate on which a feeding slide rail and a lead screw module are mounted. A feeding slide plate that is slidably connected to the lead screw module is mounted on the feeding slide rail. A top plate and a bottom plate are both mounted on the feeding slide plate.

[0034] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, this utility model further achieves the following beneficial effects: after the product is placed in the loading slot, the feeding slide can be moved by the screw module, which moves the product on the loading slot to the pressing position of the pressing mechanism; and after the pressing mechanism completes the pressing of the product, the feeding slide can be moved by the screw module, which moves the product on the loading slot out of the pressing position of the pressing mechanism, thereby achieving more efficient and convenient product handling on the loading slot, while also improving the safety of product handling.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a carrier that cooperates with a pressing mechanism, including a base plate 4, a top plate 1, and a bottom plate 2.

[0046] The substrate 4 is equipped with a feeding slide rail 41 and a lead screw module 42. A feeding slide plate 43, which is connected to the lead screw module 42, slides on the feeding slide rail 41. The top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 are both located on the feeding slide plate 43.

[0047] The top plate 1 has a loading groove 11 for placing products on its top. The loading groove 11 has several support holes 12, and each support hole 12 has a lifting and floating support column 13.

[0048] The base plate 2 is equipped with springs 21 and a fixing module. The number and position of the springs 21 correspond to the number and position of the support columns 13. The springs 21 support the support columns 13, allowing them to extend from the support holes 12. The base plate 2 has several bottom holes 22, the number and position of which correspond to the number and position of the support columns 13, so that the bottom ends of the support columns 13 can pass through the bottom holes 22. There is a gap between the bottom holes 22 and the support columns 13.

[0049] The fixed module includes a control slot 3, a slide rail, and a displacement cylinder 33. One or both sides of the control slot 3 are cut into the bottom hole 22. An elastically deformable pipe 31 is installed within the control slot 3, and the pipe 31 is connected to an air or water source. The displacement slide rail 32 is fixed to the top plate 1. A displacement slider 34, which slides on the displacement slide rail 32, is installed on the bottom plate 2. The displacement cylinder 33 pushes the bottom plate 2, causing the bottom hole 22 to shift or align with the support hole 12. A buffer 35 is provided at one or both ends of the displacement slide rail 32 to limit the movement of the bottom plate 2.

[0050] The following is a description of the operation of a vehicle that cooperates with a pressing mechanism as described in this embodiment.

[0051] When the product is placed in the carrier 11, the bottom wall of the product contacts the support column 13. At this time, the product pushes the support column 13 first by its own weight until multiple parts of the bottom wall of the product are in contact with the support column 13. After that, the air source or water source supplies air or liquid to the pipeline 31, causing the pipeline 31 to expand and push the support column 13 to the inner wall of the bottom hole 22 for initial fixation. After that, the misalignment cylinder is used to push the base plate 2, causing the bottom hole 22 to be misaligned with the support hole 12, thereby clamping the support rod for further reinforcement.

[0052] Subsequently, the lead screw module 42 drives the feeding slide plate 43 to move, moving the product on the loading slot 11 to the pressing position of the pressing mechanism, so that the pressing mechanism can apply downward pressure to the product; when the product has completed processing or testing, and the pressing mechanism stops applying downward pressure to the product, the lead screw module 42 drives the feeding slide plate 43 to move in a certain direction, moving the product on the loading slot 11 out of the pressing position of the pressing mechanism. At this time, the product can be taken out from the loading slot 11. Example

[0053] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a carrier that cooperates with a pressing mechanism, including a base plate 4, a top plate 1, and a bottom plate 2.

[0054] The substrate 4 is equipped with a feeding slide rail 41 and a lead screw module 42. A feeding slide plate 43, which is connected to the lead screw module 42, slides on the feeding slide rail 41. The top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 are both located on the feeding slide plate 43.

[0055] The top plate 1 has a loading groove 11 for placing products on its top. The loading groove 11 has several support holes 12, and each support hole 12 has a lifting and floating support column 13.

[0056] The base plate 2 is equipped with springs 21 and a fixing module. The number and position of the springs 21 correspond to the number and position of the support columns 13. The springs 21 support the support columns 13, allowing the support columns 13 to extend from the support holes 12. The base plate 2 has a number of bottom holes 22, the number and position of which correspond to the number and position of the support columns 13, so that the bottom ends of the support columns 13 can pass through the bottom holes 22.

[0057] The fixed module includes a control groove 3, one or both sides of which are cut into the bottom hole 22. The control groove 3 is provided with an elastically deformable pipe 31, which is connected to a gas source or a water source. There is a gap between the bottom hole 22 and the support column 13.

[0058] The following is a description of the operation of a vehicle that cooperates with a pressing mechanism as described in this embodiment.

[0059] When the product is placed in the carrier tank 11, the bottom wall of the product contacts the support column 13. At this time, the product pushes the support column 13 that is first contacted by its own weight until multiple parts of the bottom wall of the product are in contact with the support column 13. After that, the air source or water source supplies air or liquid to the pipeline 31, causing the pipeline 31 to expand and push the support column 13 to the inner wall of one side of the bottom hole 22 for tight fixation.

[0060] Subsequently, the lead screw module 42 drives the feeding slide plate 43 to move, moving the product on the loading slot 11 to the pressing position of the pressing mechanism, so that the pressing mechanism can apply downward pressure to the product; when the product has completed processing or testing, and the pressing mechanism stops applying downward pressure to the product, the lead screw module 42 drives the feeding slide plate 43 to move in a certain direction, moving the product on the loading slot 11 out of the pressing position of the pressing mechanism. At this time, the product can be taken out from the loading slot 11. Example

[0061] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a carrier that cooperates with a pressing mechanism, including a base plate 4, a top plate 1, and a bottom plate 2.

[0062] The substrate 4 is equipped with a feeding slide rail 41 and a lead screw module 42. A feeding slide plate 43, which is connected to the lead screw module 42, slides on the feeding slide rail 41. The top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 are both located on the feeding slide plate 43.

[0063] The top plate 1 has a loading groove 11 for placing products on its top. The loading groove 11 has several support holes 12, and each support hole 12 has a lifting and floating support column 13.

[0064] The base plate 2 is equipped with springs 21 and a fixing module. The number and position of the springs 21 correspond to the number and position of the support columns 13. The springs 21 support the support columns 13, allowing them to extend from the support holes 12. The base plate 2 has several bottom holes 22, the number and position of which correspond to the number and position of the support columns 13, so that the bottom ends of the support columns 13 can pass through the bottom holes 22. There is a gap between the bottom holes 22 and the support columns 13.

[0065] The fixed module includes a shifting slide rail 32 and a shifting cylinder 33. The shifting slide rail 32 is fixed to the top plate 1, and the bottom plate 2 is equipped with a shifting slider 34 that slides on the shifting slide rail 32. The shifting cylinder 33 is used to push the bottom plate 2 to move or align the bottom hole 22 with the support hole 12. One or both ends of the shifting slide rail 32 are provided with a buffer 35 for limiting the movement of the bottom plate 2.

[0066] The following is a description of the operation of a vehicle that cooperates with a pressing mechanism as described in this embodiment.

[0067] When the product is placed in the carrier 11, the bottom wall of the product contacts the support column 13. At this time, the product pushes the support column 13 that is first contacted by its own weight until multiple parts of the bottom wall of the product are in contact with the support column 13. After that, the misalignment cylinder is used to push the base plate 2 to cause the bottom hole 22 to be misaligned with the support hole 12, thereby clamping and fixing the support rod.

[0068] Subsequently, the lead screw module 42 drives the feeding slide plate 43 to move, moving the product on the loading slot 11 to the pressing position of the pressing mechanism, so that the pressing mechanism can apply downward pressure to the product; when the product has completed processing or testing, and the pressing mechanism stops applying downward pressure to the product, the lead screw module 42 drives the feeding slide plate 43 to move in a certain direction, moving the product on the loading slot 11 out of the pressing position of the pressing mechanism. At this time, the product can be taken out from the loading slot 11.
