[0002] In modern automated production lines, laser scanning technology is widely used in product identification, traceability, and quality control. However, due to product positioning deviations and poor positioning accuracy, laser scanning equipment often makes mistakes when reading information on products, leading to product scrap. This not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency and product quality. Currently, there are some fixtures on the market for product positioning and clamping, but most of them have the following shortcomings: complex structure and high cost: To achieve high-precision positioning and clamping, existing fixtures often use complex mechanical structures and control systems, resulting in high costs; difficult maintenance: The complex structure makes fixture maintenance difficult, and once a failure occurs, the repair cycle is long and costly; poor versatility: Different specifications and shapes of products require different fixtures, resulting in poor fixture versatility and increased production costs; insufficient accuracy: Existing fixtures are insufficient in terms of positioning accuracy and clamping stability, making it difficult to meet the high-precision requirements of laser scanning. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can automatically adjust product positioning and ensure consistent clamping positions, which is of great significance for improving the accuracy of laser scanning and reducing product scrap rates.

The four composite springs are located on the inner side of the placement plates. The suction cups are located in the middle of the two placement plates. A linkage rod is also connected between the two placement plates and the cylinder drive assembly. When the cylinder drive assembly is working, it uses the linkage rod to push the sliders to move towards the center and make the four suction cups contact and fix the product for laser scanning at the same time. After the laser scanning is completed, the cylinder drive assembly retracts, and the sliders and placement plates return to the initial position together under the action of the return springs.

[0005] In the aforementioned automatic product centering and positioning device, the cylinder drive assembly includes a cylinder and a drive fork. The drive fork is connected to the cylinder and cooperates with a linkage rod. A guide wheel is provided at the connection point between the linkage rod and the drive fork.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the automatic centering and positioning device of this product. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0014] In the diagram, the base plate is 100; the slider is 200; the guide rail is 300; the placement plate is 400; the suction cup is 500; the return spring is 600; the linkage rod is 700; the driving fork is 800; the cylinder is 900; and the guide wheel is 1000.

[0015] like Figure 1As shown, the automatic centering and positioning device of this product includes a base plate 100 and four sliders 200, four guide rails 300, two placement plates 400, a suction cup 500, four return springs 600, and a cylinder drive assembly, all mounted on the base plate 100. Two sliders 200 are fixed to the bottom of each placement plate 400. The sliders 200 are fitted onto the guide rails 300 and can slide along the guide rails 300. The four composite springs are located on the inner sides of the placement plates 400. The suction cup 500 is located between the two placement plates 400. In this patent, the suction cup 500 is used to fix the product, and the return springs 600 provide restoring force to ensure that the suction cup 500 can quickly return to its initial position when released. The movement of the sliders 200 is controlled by the extension and retraction of the cylinder 900, thereby achieving automatic centering and clamping of the product. The two placement plates 400 and the cylinder drive assembly... A linkage rod 700 is also connected between the cylinder drive components. When the cylinder drive components are working, the linkage rod 700 pushes the slider 200 to move towards the center and makes the four suction cups 500 contact and fix the product for laser scanning at the same time. After the laser scanning is completed, the cylinder drive components retract, and the slider 200 and the placement plate 400 return to the initial position together under the action of the return spring 600. In order to facilitate the movement, the cylinder drive components include a cylinder 900 and a drive fork 800. The drive fork 800 is connected to the cylinder 900 and cooperates with the linkage rod 700. A guide wheel 1000 is provided at the connection between the linkage rod 700 and the drive fork 800. The guide wheel 1000 can be used to make the drive fork 800 drive the linkage rod 700 to swing, thereby realizing the movement of the placement plate 400.

[0016] Initial working state: Cylinder 900 is in the retracted state, slider 200 and suction cup 500 are located on both sides of the slide rail, and the spring is in the compressed state; Product positioning: The product is placed on the placement plate 400, and the product position is initially adjusted by the robot or other equipment to make it approximately in the center of the placement plate 400; Automatic centering: Cylinder 900 extends, pushing slider 200 to move towards the center, so that the four suction cups 500 simultaneously contact and fix the product. Since there are four sliders 200 and suction cups 500, distributed around the placement plate 400, the automatic centering function of the product can be realized; Laser scanning: After the product is accurately fixed, the laser scanning device scans the product. Due to the accurate product positioning, the laser scanning device can correctly read the information on the product; Product release: After scanning is completed, cylinder 900 retracts, slider 200 returns to the initial position under the action of the return spring, and suction cup 500 also releases the product.

[0017] This patent mainly achieves the following functions:
