Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automatically operating jig plate aligning trough and its aligning machine, belonging to the field of aligning. Background Technology

[0002] As a widely used piece of equipment in industrial production, arranging machines are mainly used to neatly arrange products on fixture plates to facilitate subsequent processing, inspection, or packaging. After years of development, arranging machine technology has made some progress, but most arranging machines on the market are still semi-automatic. These semi-automatic arranging machines require manual handling of the fixture plates during operation, which not only increases labor intensity but also significantly reduces work efficiency, severely restricting the increase in production capacity per unit.

[0003] In traditional semi-automatic product aligning machine production scenarios, operators need to frequently move back and forth between the machines, placing products to be aligned onto jig plates, and then placing the jig plates filled with products into the aligning machine for alignment. After alignment, the operator must remove the jig plates from the machine again to continue subsequent operations. This process is not only cumbersome but also prone to human error, such as inaccurate jig plate placement or uneven product arrangement, leading to unstable alignment quality and increasing the product defect rate. Furthermore, with the continuous increase in production orders and the acceleration of production pace, the low production efficiency of semi-automatic product aligning machines has become increasingly prominent, failing to meet the needs of large-scale production in enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatically operating jig plate for aligning material troughs. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An automatically operating jig plate alignment mechanism includes an alignment trough, which comprises an alignment base plate, side plates, a left fixed clamping plate, and a right movable clamping plate. On both sides of the alignment base plate, one of the side plates is installed along its length. The left fixed clamping plate is installed on one side of the alignment base plate between the two side plates, and the right movable clamping plate is installed on the other side. The right movable clamping plate is slidably mounted between the two side plates and is driven by a clamping cylinder mounted on the alignment base plate. An installation space for the jig plate is formed between the left fixed clamping plate and the right movable clamping plate. The jig plate is conveyed to this installation space by a conveying unit. When the jig plate is conveyed to the installation space, a lifting unit drives the jig plate to rise until the jig plate is flush with the end faces of the left fixed clamping plate and the right movable clamping plate. When the lifting unit drives the jig plate to descend, the jig plate falls onto the conveying unit for output. Both the conveying unit and the lifting unit are connected to a control panel.

[0006] The conveying unit includes a support frame, a driving belt roller, a driven belt roller, a drive motor, and a synchronous conveyor belt. The driving belt roller is installed on one side of the support frame, and a driving pulley is mounted on the driving belt roller. The driven belt roller is installed on the other side of the support frame. The driving belt roller and the driven belt roller are connected by a synchronous conveyor belt. The two synchronous conveyor belts convey the fixture plate. The drive motor is also installed on the support frame, and a power output pulley is mounted on the motor shaft of the drive motor. The power output pulley is connected to the driving belt pulley by a transmission belt.

[0007] The lifting unit includes a jig plate lifting cylinder and a position sensor. The jig plate lifting cylinder is arranged vertically, and a support plate for lifting the jig plate is installed on the telescopic rod of the jig plate lifting cylinder. The position sensor is installed in the installation space to sense the position of the jig plate.

[0008] When the fixture plate rises, the fixture plate is limited by the side plate.

[0009] A sliding groove is provided on the side plate for the right-side movable clamp to slide.

[0010] It also includes a fixture positioning cylinder, which is arranged adjacent to the fixture plate lifting cylinder. A positioning plate is installed on the telescopic rod of the fixture positioning cylinder, and a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning plate is provided at the lower part of the fixture plate. The fixture positioning cylinder is connected to the control panel.

[0011] A sorting machine includes a sorting trough with an automatically operating fixture plate. A connecting plate is installed between the sorting bottom plate of the automatically operating fixture plate and the machine body of the sorting machine, and the connecting plate creates a space for the conveying unit to operate between the sorting bottom plate and the machine body.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] Automatic feeding and discharging: Through the coordinated operation of the conveying unit and the lifting unit, the automatic loading and unloading of the fixture plate is achieved. Driven by a motor, the synchronous belt of the conveying unit precisely transports the fixture plate to the installation space. When the fixture plate reaches the designated position, the lifting unit's fixture plate lifting cylinder drives the support plate, smoothly raising the fixture plate until it is flush with the end faces of the left fixed clamp and the right movable clamp, completing the automatic feeding process. After alignment, the lifting cylinder then drives the fixture plate downwards, returning it to the conveying unit, achieving automatic unloading. This process requires no manual intervention, greatly improving the automation level of the alignment operation, reducing the tediousness of manual operation, and lowering the intensity of manual labor.

[0014] Automatic Alignment: The ingenious design of the alignment trough, with its fixed left-side clamp and movable right-side clamp driven by clamping cylinders, firmly clamps the fixture plate, providing stable support for the alignment operation. During alignment, the equipment automatically identifies the position of the fixture plate and achieves rapid and neat product arrangement through precise control, ensuring the stability of alignment quality. This automatic alignment function not only improves work efficiency but also avoids inaccurate alignment caused by human factors, thus enhancing the overall product quality.

[0015] Continuous operation capability: Thanks to the automatic loading and unloading of fixture plates, the aligning machine can operate continuously without interruption. In traditional semi-automatic aligning machines, the time spent manually handling fixture plates accounts for a significant proportion, severely impacting production efficiency. However, this new aligning machine, after completing the alignment of one fixture plate, can quickly and automatically proceed to the alignment of the next fixture plate, greatly shortening the production cycle, increasing production output per unit time, and thus effectively improving the production capacity of a single machine.

[0016] Precise and rapid conveying and positioning: The conveyor belt of the conveyor unit adopts a high-precision transmission system, which ensures the stability and accuracy of the jig plate during the conveying process. Simultaneously, the installation of position sensors allows the equipment to sense the position of the jig plate in real time, achieving precise positioning control. When the jig plate arrives at the installation space, the lifting unit can respond quickly and accurately raise or lower the jig plate, reducing waiting time and repeated adjustment time caused by inaccurate positioning, further improving the efficiency of the entire train operation.

[0017] Compact spatial layout: The compact design of the trough assembly allows for efficient use of the fixture plate, with the installation space between the fixed clamping plate on the left and the movable clamping plate on the right perfectly accommodating the fixture plate. This ensures stable clamping of the fixture plate while making full use of the equipment's space. Furthermore, the connecting plate design between the trough base plate and the trough assembly machine body provides ample space for the operation of the conveying unit, resulting in a more compact overall structure, a smaller footprint, and easier installation and layout on the production site, thus improving the equipment's space utilization rate.

[0018] Intelligent control: Both the conveying and lifting units are connected to the control panel, allowing operators to easily operate and control the equipment, enabling one-button start and stop functions without complicated procedures. Simultaneously, the control panel can display the equipment's operating status and fault information in real time, facilitating timely understanding of the equipment's condition and enabling appropriate handling, thus improving the equipment's operability and maintenance convenience.

[0019] Reduced human intervention: Automated operations reduce the need for manual intervention in the assembly process, lowering the risk of equipment malfunctions and product damage caused by improper human operation. Furthermore, the high degree of automation ensures more stable and reliable collaboration between components, resulting in a relatively low failure rate. This reduces the frequency and cost of equipment maintenance, extends equipment lifespan, and saves the company human and material resources. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, and the advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer as a result of the description. However, these embodiments are merely exemplary and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or substitutions can be made to the details and form of the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, but all such modifications and substitutions fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model relates to an automatically operating alignment mechanism for a jig plate, comprising an alignment trough 2. The alignment trough 2 includes an alignment base plate 24, side plates 23, a left fixed clamping plate 25, and a right movable clamping plate 22. On both sides of the alignment base plate 24, a side plate 23 is respectively installed along the length of the alignment base plate 24. The left fixed clamping plate 25 is installed on one side of the alignment base plate 24 between the two side plates 23, and the right movable clamping plate 22 is installed on the other side. The right movable clamping plate 22 is slidably mounted between the two side plates 23 and is mounted on the alignment base plate. The clamping cylinder 21 on the clamping plate 24 is driven; an installation space for the jig plate is formed between the left fixed clamping plate 25 and the right movable clamping plate 22. The jig plate is transported to the installation space by the conveying unit. When the jig plate is transported to the installation space, the lifting unit drives the jig plate to rise until the jig plate is flush with the end faces of the left fixed clamping plate 25 and the right movable clamping plate 22. When the lifting unit drives the jig plate to fall, the jig plate falls onto the conveying unit for output. Both the conveying unit and the lifting unit are connected to the control panel.

[0025] Driven by a motor, the synchronous belt of the conveyor unit precisely transports the jig plate to the installation space. When the jig plate reaches the designated position, the jig plate lifting cylinder of the lifting unit drives the support plate to smoothly raise the jig plate until it is flush with the end faces of the left fixed clamp and the right movable clamp, completing the automatic feeding process. After alignment, the lifting cylinder then drives the jig plate to descend, returning it to the conveyor unit for automatic unloading. This process requires no manual intervention, greatly improving the automation level of the alignment operation, reducing the tediousness of manual operation, and lowering the intensity of manual labor.

[0026] The ingenious design of the alignment trough allows the fixed clamping plate on the left and the movable clamping plate on the right to firmly clamp the fixture plate under the drive of the clamping cylinder, providing stable support for the alignment operation. During the alignment process, the equipment can automatically identify the position of the fixture plate and achieve rapid and neat arrangement of products through precise control, ensuring the stability of the alignment quality. This automatic alignment function not only improves work efficiency but also avoids problems such as inaccurate alignment caused by human factors, thus improving the overall quality of the products.

[0027] Because of the automatic loading and unloading of fixture plates, the aligning machine can operate continuously without interruption. In traditional semi-automatic aligning machines, the time spent manually picking up and placing fixture plates accounts for a considerable proportion, seriously affecting production efficiency. However, the aligning machine of this invention can quickly and automatically perform the aligning operation of the next fixture plate after completing the alignment of one fixture plate, greatly shortening the production cycle, increasing the production output per unit time, and thus effectively improving the production capacity of a single machine.

[0028] The conveyor unit's synchronous belt employs a high-precision transmission system, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the jig plate during transport. Simultaneously, the inclusion of position sensors allows the equipment to sense the jig plate's position in real time, achieving precise positioning control. When the jig plate reaches the installation space, the lifting unit responds quickly and accurately raises or lowers it, reducing waiting and re-adjustment time caused by inaccurate positioning and further improving the efficiency of the entire train operation.

[0029] The compact design of the feed trough allows for efficient use of the fixture plate, with the installation space between the fixed left clamping plate and the movable right clamping plate perfectly accommodating the fixture plate. This ensures stable clamping of the fixture plate while making full use of the equipment's space. Furthermore, the connecting plate design between the feed trough base plate and the feed trough body provides ample space for the conveying unit's operation, resulting in a more compact overall structure, a smaller footprint, and easier installation and layout on the production site, thus improving the equipment's space utilization rate.

[0030] The conveying unit includes a support frame, a drive belt roller 31, a driven belt roller 34, a drive motor 32, and a conveyor timing belt 33. The drive belt roller 31 is mounted on one side of the support frame, and a drive pulley is mounted on the drive belt roller 31. The driven belt roller 34 is mounted on the other side of the support frame. The drive belt roller 31 and the driven belt roller 34 are connected by a conveyor timing belt 33. The two conveyor timing belts 33 convey the fixture plate. The drive motor 32 is also mounted on the support frame. A power output pulley is mounted on the motor shaft of the drive motor 32. The power output pulley is connected to the drive pulley by a conveyor belt.

[0031] This conveyor unit structure has the following advantages:

[0032] The support frame provides a stable foundation for the entire conveying unit, ensuring the stability of the driving and driven belt rollers during operation, thereby guaranteeing the smooth operation of the synchronous belt, reducing the swaying and offset of the jig plate during conveying, and improving the accuracy of conveying.

[0033] The driving and driven belt rollers are connected by a synchronous belt drive. This transmission method can achieve precise synchronous transmission, ensuring that the jig plate will not slip or have inconsistent speeds during the conveying process, thus guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the conveying speed.

[0034] The drive motor shaft is equipped with a power output pulley, which is connected to the drive pulley via a conveyor belt. This two-stage transmission structure can effectively transmit power, reduce power loss, and improve transmission efficiency. At the same time, different transmission ratios can be achieved by adjusting parameters such as the diameter of the pulleys to meet different conveying speed requirements.

[0035] The high-precision transmission of the synchronous belt ensures the accurate positioning of the jig plate during the conveying process. Combined with control components such as position sensors, it enables precise conveying and positioning of the jig plate, allowing it to accurately reach the installation space. This provides an accurate positional basis for subsequent lifting operations and improves the accuracy of the entire train operation.

[0036] The conveying unit has a compact structure and reasonable layout of components, occupying little space. It can be easily integrated into the overall structure of the train without increasing the size of the equipment, which helps to improve the space utilization of the equipment and facilitates installation and layout on the production site.

[0037] The conveying unit has a relatively simple structure, and its components are easy to disassemble and install. This makes it convenient for maintenance personnel to regularly inspect, maintain, and replace the synchronous belt, belt rollers, drive motor, etc., ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and reducing production interruptions caused by equipment failure.

[0038] The lifting unit includes a jig plate lifting cylinder and a position sensor. The jig plate lifting cylinder is arranged vertically, and a support plate 26 for lifting the jig plate is installed on the telescopic rod of the jig plate lifting cylinder. The position sensor is installed in the installation space to sense the position of the jig plate. When the jig plate rises, the jig plate is limited by the side plate 23.

[0039] A sliding groove is provided on the side plate 23 for the right-side movable clamping plate 22 to slide.

[0040] It also includes a fixture positioning cylinder 27, which is arranged adjacent to the fixture plate lifting cylinder 26. A positioning plate is installed on the telescopic rod of the fixture positioning cylinder, and a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning plate is provided at the lower part of the fixture plate. The fixture positioning cylinder is connected to the control panel.

[0041] This lifting unit structure has the following advantages:

[0042] The jig plate lifting cylinder is set vertically, which can provide stable linear motion power, ensuring that the jig plate remains vertical and stable during the lifting process and accurately reaches the target position.

[0043] The position sensor is installed in the installation space and can sense the position of the jig plate in real time, providing feedback to the control system and enabling precise control of the jig plate's lifting position. This ensures that the jig plate can be accurately aligned with the end faces of the left fixed clamp and the right movable clamp, improving the accuracy of the entire line operation.

[0044] When the jig plate rises, the side plate provides a limit, which effectively prevents the jig plate from shifting excessively during the rising process. This ensures that the jig plate accurately reaches the predetermined position and fits tightly against the end face of the clamping plate, providing a stable foundation for subsequent alignment operations and avoiding alignment quality problems caused by inaccurate jig plate positioning.

[0045] The lifting unit uses a cylinder as its power source, which has advantages such as simple structure, low cost, fast response speed, and convenient maintenance. The cylinder's extension rod directly drives the support plate, transmitting power to the fixture plate. This results in high power transmission efficiency and enables rapid lifting and lowering of the fixture plate, meeting the high-efficiency operation requirements of the entire train.

[0046] Both the lifting and conveying units are connected to the control panel, enabling automated control. During the entire train assembly process, no manual intervention is required; the lifting and lowering of the fixture plate can be completed automatically according to a preset program, improving production efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and minimizing the impact of human error on production quality.

[0047] This utility model also relates to an alignment machine, including an alignment trough with an automatically operating fixture plate. A connecting plate is installed between the alignment bottom plate of the automatically operating fixture plate and the body 1 of the alignment machine, and the connecting plate forms a space for the conveying unit to operate between the alignment bottom plate and the body.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0049] 1. Initial state: The jig plate is placed on the synchronous belt of the conveyor unit, in the initial position, waiting to be conveyed to the installation space of the entire material trough.

[0050] 2. Conveying process: The drive motor starts, and through the power output pulley and conveyor belt, it drives the drive pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the drive belt roller to rotate. The synchronous belt between the drive belt roller and the driven belt roller moves accordingly, smoothly conveying the fixture plate towards the trough.

[0051] 3. Positioning and Clamping: When the fixture plate reaches the installation space, the position sensor detects the position of the fixture plate and sends a signal back to the control panel. The control panel issues a command, and the fixture positioning cylinder actuates. The positioning plate on its telescopic rod engages with the positioning groove on the lower part of the fixture plate to perform initial positioning of the fixture plate.

[0052] 4. Lifting Action: The jig plate lifting cylinder is activated, the telescopic rod extends, driving the support plate upward to smoothly lift the jig plate. During the jig plate's ascent, the side plates limit its movement to prevent excessive deviation, ensuring that the jig plate is accurately flush with the end faces of the left fixed clamp and the right movable clamp.

[0053] 5. Clamping and Alignment: Once the fixture plate reaches the designated position, the clamping cylinder is activated, pushing the right-side moving clamping plate to slide towards the left-side fixed clamping plate, firmly clamping the fixture plate between them. At this point, the fixture plate is stably fixed within the installation space, and the equipment begins automatic alignment, neatly arranging the products on the fixture plate.

[0054] 6. Descending and Output: After alignment, the clamping cylinder resets, and the right-side moving clamp slides within the groove of the side plate, releasing the fixture plate. Next, the fixture plate lifting cylinder activates, the telescopic rod retracts, and the support plate moves downwards, causing the fixture plate to descend and return to the synchronous conveyor belt of the conveyor unit.

[0055] 7. Subsequent Conveying: The drive motor restarts, and the synchronous conveyor belt transports the completed jig plates out of the hopper, completing one work cycle. Then, the next jig plate is conveyed in, repeating the process to achieve continuous, uninterrupted operation.

[0056] Throughout the entire process, all components work together. Through the close coordination of the conveying unit, lifting unit, clamping mechanism and control system, the automatic entry and exit, automatic alignment and automatic output of the jig plate are achieved without manual intervention, which greatly improves the automation level and production efficiency of the alignment operation.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
