Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of rack and pinion adjustment block transfer fixtures, specifically, to a rack and pinion adjustment block transfer fixture. Background Technology
[0002] In the machinery manufacturing industry, rack and pinion adjusting blocks are important mechanical parts, and their processing involves multiple stages, with transfer being an indispensable link. However, existing rack and pinion adjusting block transfer methods have many drawbacks, seriously affecting production efficiency and product quality.
[0003] In actual transport processes, due to a lack of proper tooling design, rack and pinion adjusting blocks easily accumulate. On one hand, the blocks are usually quite regular in shape, making them prone to aggregation during handling and transport due to friction and improper placement. For example, when using ordinary pallets for transport, the blocks are placed randomly on the pallet, and the bumps and vibrations during transport will cause them to gradually gather and pile up. On the other hand, transport equipment often lacks effective separation and positioning of the blocks, failing to prevent this accumulation.
[0004] The accumulation of briquettes not only makes transportation difficult but also makes transferring them to the firing equipment extremely inconvenient. When briquettes are piled up, workers find it difficult to quickly and accurately place individual briquettes into their designated positions on the firing equipment. This requires a significant amount of time for sorting and selection, prolonging transportation time and reducing production efficiency.
[0005] Moreover, in most cases currently, the transfer of compressed blocks to the firing equipment requires manual placement by workers. Manual placement is not only labor-intensive but also prone to human error, leading to inaccurate positioning of the blocks on the firing equipment. Any deviation in placement can affect the firing results, thereby reducing product quality and increasing the scrap rate.
[0006] With the increasing demands for production efficiency and product quality in the machinery manufacturing industry, it is imperative to develop a transfer fixture that can prevent the rack adjusting blocks from accumulating during transport, facilitate their transfer to the firing equipment, and eliminate the need for manual placement. This is of significant practical importance for improving production efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and ensuring product quality. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a rack and pinion adjusting block transfer fixture, which solves the technical problem that in the prior art, block accumulation not only leads to transfer difficulties, but also makes the operation of transferring it to the firing equipment extremely inconvenient.
[0008] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a rack adjusting pressure block transfer fixture, comprising:
[0009] The main frame and several casters are located at the four corners of the bottom of the main frame.
[0010] The bracket and the angle adjustment assembly are provided, wherein the bracket is mounted on the main frame and the angle adjustment assembly is mounted between the bracket and the main frame.
[0011] A collection component, which is disposed on the bracket;
[0012] The angle adjustment assembly includes several side slots, all of which are formed on the side surface of the main frame. The brackets are rotatably connected to the side slots by pins, and the two sides of the brackets are rotatably connected to a timing frame by pins.
[0013] As a further technical solution, a notch is provided at the bottom of the main frame, and an internal threaded frame is fixedly connected in the notch. A support stud is connected to the internal threaded frame by screwing in the thread. A protrusion is provided at the upper end of the support stud, and a pair of stop bars are provided on the bottom surface of the bracket at the bottommost position.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the collection component includes a collection tray, which is placed on the bracket. The collection tray has elongated openings on both sides, and a pair of round rods are installed inside the elongated openings.
[0015] As a further technical solution, a movable block is slidably connected to the round rod, and a grid frame is connected between the movable blocks. The lower end face of the grid frame is slidably attached to the inner bottom surface of the collection tray.
[0016] As a further technical solution, the upper surface of the protrusion is a spherical structure surface, and the protrusion is located between the baffles.
[0017] As a further technical solution, the surface of the collection tray is provided with a snap-fit groove.
[0018] As a further technical solution, the side end face of the movable block and the inner end face of the elongated opening are magnetically attached together.
[0019] As a further technical solution, the bracket can be rotated upwards by 15° via the pin connection.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:
[0021] 1. The beneficial effects of the angle adjustment assembly in this disclosure are that the side groove provides a rotatable mounting position for the bracket. The synchronous bracket ensures that multiple brackets can rotate synchronously, making the state of all brackets consistent when adjusting the angle. The support stud cooperates with the internal threaded bracket, and the bracket angle can be easily adjusted by rotating the support stud. The protrusion and the stop bar cooperate with each other; the spherical structure of the protrusion can always provide stable support when the bracket angle changes, and the stop bar prevents the support stud from shifting. After the bracket rotates upwards at a certain angle, it can effectively prevent the pressure blocks from colliding with each other due to shaking and bumping during transportation, ensuring the stability of the pressure blocks during transportation, reducing the risk of pressure blocks falling or colliding, and improving the safety of transportation.
[0022] 2. In this disclosure, the beneficial effects of the collecting component are that the collecting tray provides a carrying platform for the pressed blocks. The elongated opening and the round rod provide a sliding track for the moving block, facilitating the adjustment of the grid frame position. The grid frame can separate the pressed blocks, preventing them from piling up. When transporting them to the firing equipment, the pressed blocks can be pushed onto the conveyor belt in an orderly manner by pushing the grid frame. The moving block and the inner end face of the elongated opening are magnetically attached, ensuring the stability of the grid frame in the non-pushing state. The locking groove facilitates the gripping of the collecting tray. The collecting component achieves orderly separation and transportation of the pressed blocks, avoiding manual placement, improving transportation efficiency, ensuring that the firing equipment receives the pressed blocks uniformly and stably, thereby improving the firing quality.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.
[0035] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a rack adjusting pressure block transfer fixture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, comprising:
[0037] The main frame 1 and several casters 2 are located at the four corners of the bottom of the main frame 1.
[0038] The bracket 3 and the angle adjustment component 4 are provided. The bracket 3 is provided on the main frame 1, and the angle adjustment component 4 is provided between the bracket 3 and the main frame 1.
[0039] Collection component 5, which is disposed on the bracket 3;
[0040] The angle adjustment component 4 includes several side grooves 4-1, all of which are formed on the side surface of the main frame 1. The brackets 3 are rotatably connected to the side grooves 4-1 by pins. The two sides of the brackets 3 are rotatably connected to the synchronous frame 4-2 by pins. The bottom of the main frame 1 has a notch 4-3, and an internal threaded frame 4-4 is fixedly connected in the notch 4-3. The internal threaded frame 4-4 is connected to the support stud 4-5 by threaded screwing. The upper end of the support stud 4-5 is provided with a protrusion 4-6. The bottom surface of the bracket 3 at the bottommost position is provided with a pair of stop bars 4-7.
[0041] In some examples, during the transfer of the rack and pinion adjusting block, an angle adjustment component 4 is designed to prevent the block from sliding outwards during transfer. This component includes several side grooves 4-1 on the side surface of the main frame 1, providing a base for the rotatable mounting of the bracket 3. The bracket 3 is rotatably connected to the side grooves 4-1 by a pin, allowing the bracket 3 to rotate around the pin as a fulcrum. The synchronous frames 4-2, which are rotatably connected to both sides of the brackets 3 by pins, ensure that the multiple brackets 3 rotate synchronously. The internally threaded frame 4-4, which is fixedly connected to the notch 4-3 at the bottom of the main frame 1, is connected to the support stud by screwing. With the cooperation of 4-5, when the angle of bracket 3 needs to be adjusted, the support stud 4-5 is rotated to move it upward. The protrusion 4-6 at the upper end of the support stud 4-5 lifts the bottom bracket 3. Due to the action of the synchronous frame 4-2, the other brackets 3 will also rotate upward synchronously, thereby supporting the bracket 3 at a certain tilt angle. The pair of stop bars 4-7 set on the bottom surface of the bottom bracket 3 can prevent the support stud 4-5 from shifting during the lifting process. In this way, when the transfer fixture moves, the pressure block will not slide outward due to the tilt angle of the bracket 3, ensuring the stability and safety of the pressure block during the transfer process.
[0042] Through the coordinated work of components such as side groove 4-1, bracket 3, pin, synchronous bracket 4-2, notch 4-3, internal thread bracket 4-4, support stud 4-5, protrusion 4-6 and stop bar 4-7, the angle adjustment component 4 achieves the function of supporting the bracket 3 at a certain tilt angle to prevent the pressure block from sliding outward when moving.
[0043] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the collection component 5 in this embodiment includes a collection tray 5-1, which is placed on the bracket 3. The collection tray 5-1 has elongated openings 5-2 on both sides. A pair of round rods 5-3 are arranged in the elongated openings 5-2. Moving blocks 5-4 are slidably connected to the round rods 5-3. A grid frame 5-5 is connected between the moving blocks 5-4. The lower end face of the grid frame 5-5 is slidably attached to the inner bottom surface of the collection tray 5-1.
[0044] In some examples, during the transfer of rack-and-pinion adjusted blocks to the firing equipment, a collection component 5 is designed to achieve orderly separation and conveying of the blocks. This component includes a collection tray 5-1 placed on a bracket 3, serving as the basic structure for carrying the blocks. A pair of round rods 5-3 are installed within elongated openings 5-2 on both sides of the collection tray 5-1, providing sliding tracks for the moving blocks 5-4. A grid frame 5-5 connected between the moving blocks 5-4 can slide on the round rods 5-3. By moving the grid frame 5-5, the blocks within the collection tray 5-1 can be separated. When the blocks need to be conveyed to the conveyor belt of the firing equipment, the grid frame 5-5 is pushed, causing it to push the blocks onto the conveyor belt in an orderly and spaced manner, preventing the blocks from piling up and ensuring that the firing equipment can receive the blocks evenly and stably, improving firing quality and efficiency. The lower end face of the grid frame 5-5 slides against the inner bottom surface of the tray, ensuring that the grid frame 5-5 can move smoothly during the pushing of the blocks without jamming.
[0045] Through the coordinated work of components such as the collecting tray 5-1, the long opening 5-2, the round rod 5-3, the moving block 5-4, and the grid frame 5-5, the collecting assembly 5 achieves the function of separating the pressing blocks and pushing them onto the conveyor belt of the firing equipment in an orderly manner.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the protrusion 4-6 is a spherical structure surface, and the protrusion 4-6 is located between the baffles 4-7.
[0047] In some examples, the spherical structure allows the upper surfaces of the protrusions 4-6 to remain in contact with the bracket 3 as the angle changes, thus maintaining stable support.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 4As shown, the surface of the collection tray 5-1 is provided with a snap groove 6.
[0049] In some examples, a latch 6 is provided to allow a hand to enter and grasp the collection tray 5-1, and to facilitate pulling the collection tray 5-1 outward.
[0050] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side end face of the movable block 5-4 and the inner end face of the long opening 5-2 are adhered to each other by magnetic attraction.
[0051] In some examples, the movable block 5-4 can be held firmly against the tray by magnetic attraction, further enhancing the fixation.
[0052] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 3 can be rotated upwards by 15° via the pin connection.
[0053] In some examples, by rotating upwards by 15°, the pressure block can slide inwards and fit against the inner wall of the grid frame 5-5, maintaining a uniform spacing.
[0054] In practical use: First, carefully place the rack adjusting blocks one by one onto the collection tray 5-1 of the collection assembly 5, ensuring that the blocks are neatly arranged. Next, adjust the position of the grid frame 5-5 flexibly by smoothly sliding the moving block 5-4 on the round rod 5-3. Adjust the grid frame to the appropriate spacing according to the size and quantity of the blocks, thereby accurately separating the blocks. Then, push the transfer fixture, relying on the rolling of the moving wheels 2, to move it smoothly to the side of the firing equipment. After reaching the designated position, slowly rotate the support stud 4-5. As the support stud 4-5 rotates, the protrusion 4-6 on it gradually rises, thereby lifting the bottom bracket 3. Due to the connecting effect of the synchronous frame 4-2, all the brackets 3 are connected together. When the lowest bracket 3 tilts upward, it can drive all the brackets 3 to rotate synchronously. In this way, during the movement, the blocks will not slide outward due to the tilt of the brackets. Once the transfer equipment arrives at the firing equipment, the grid frame 5-5 is finely adjusted again to ensure precise alignment with the conveyor belt of the firing equipment. Then, the pressed blocks are pushed onto the conveyor belt of the firing equipment at even intervals, allowing them to enter the firing process at uniform intervals.
[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
