Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0031] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides an auxiliary tooling for assembling a shuttle guide rail. The tooling includes a base plate 1 and a positioning plate 2. The base plate 1 has a first axis 14 extending along a first direction. Multiple positioning bases 11 are provided on the base plate 1, located on the first axis 14, and are used to position the base plate 1 on the machine platform 10. The positioning plate 2 extends along the first direction and is connected to one side of the base plate 1 along a second direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. The side of the positioning plate 2 facing away from the base plate 1 has a positioning surface for fitting the guide rail 20. In this embodiment, the base plate 1 is made of Q235 material. In this embodiment, the first direction is X, and the second direction is Y.

[0032] When assembling the guide rail 20, place the base plate 1 on the machine base 10. The base plate 1 is positioned on the machine base 10 via the positioning base 11, ensuring the relative positional accuracy between the shuttle guide rail assembly auxiliary tooling and the machine base 10. Then, the guide rail 20 is attached to the positioning surface of the positioning plate 2. At this time, the first guide rail 20 is parallel to the first axis 14, completing the assembly of the first guide rail 20. Then, the shuttle guide rail assembly auxiliary tooling is removed from the machine base 10, rotated 180 degrees, and placed back on the machine base 10 via the positioning base 11. The second guide rail 20 is attached to the positioning surface of the positioning plate 2. At this time, the second guide rail 20 is parallel to the first axis 14, completing the assembly of the second guide rail 20. Since both guide rails 20 are parallel to the first axis 14, the parallelism of the two guide rails 20 is ensured. This invention provides a positioning reference for the two guide rails 20 during assembly, ensuring that the two guide rails 20 are parallel and equidistant, resulting in more accurate installation positions, reliable parallelism, and eliminating the quality risks of repeated adjustments, thus improving assembly quality.

[0033] Preferably, the first axis 14 divides the base plate 1 equally. After the auxiliary tooling for assembling the shuttle guide rail is rotated 180 degrees and reinstalled on the machine base 10, the position of the first axis 14 remains unchanged. The two positioning plates 2 are symmetrical about the first axis 14. After the two guide rails 20 are assembled, the first guide rail 20 and the second guide rail 20 are symmetrically distributed relative to the first axis 14.

[0034] Preferably, the positioning base 11 is one of a positioning pin and a positioning pin hole that cooperate with each other, and the other is disposed on the machine base 10. In this embodiment, the positioning base 11 is a positioning pin hole, and the positioning pin is located on the machine base 10. When placing the auxiliary tooling for assembling the shuttle guide, the positioning pin of the machine base 10 passes through the positioning pin hole of the base plate 1, which improves the positional accuracy of the auxiliary tooling for assembling the shuttle guide.

[0035] Furthermore, the base plate 1 has a second axis 15 that divides both sides of the base plate 1 equally. The second axis 15 is perpendicular to the first axis 14. There are two positioning bases 11, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second axis 15.

[0036] After the guide rail 20 is assembled, the positioning plate 2 is in a fitted state with the guide rail 20. If the shuttle guide rail assembly auxiliary tooling is forcibly removed from the machine 10 in the vertical direction, the positioning plate 2 may scratch the guide rail 20. To solve the above problem, the shuttle guide rail assembly auxiliary tooling also includes a locking mechanism 3. The positioning plate 2 is slidably connected to the base plate 1 in the second direction, and the locking mechanism 3 is used to fix the positioning plate 2 in a preset position. Before assembling the guide rail 20, the positioning plate 2 slides to the preset position, and the locking mechanism 3 fixes the positioning plate 2 in the preset position. Then the guide rail 20 is assembled. After the guide rail 20 is assembled, the locking mechanism 3 is released, and the positioning plate 2 moves away from the guide rail 20 to prevent vertical scratches between the positioning surface and the guide rail 20, thereby improving the product quality of the guide rail 20. Finally, the shuttle guide rail assembly auxiliary tooling is removed from the machine 10.

[0037] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes a positioning connecting plate 31 and a fastening plunger 32. The positioning connecting plate 31 is slidably connected to the base plate 1 along the second direction. The base plate 1 is provided with a limiting hole 13, and the positioning connecting plate 31 is provided with a countersunk hole 312. When the positioning plate 2 moves to the preset position, the fastening plunger 32 can pass through the countersunk hole 312 and the limiting hole 13. When the positioning plate 2 moves to the preset position, the countersunk hole 312 and the limiting hole 13 are coaxial, and the fastening plunger 32 passes through the countersunk hole 312 and the limiting hole 13, thereby fixing the positioning plate 2 in the preset position. In this embodiment, the positioning plate 2 is connected to the side wall of the positioning connecting plate 31 by multiple screws.

[0038] Preferably, the locking mechanism 3 further includes a plunger fixing block 33, which is connected to the lower part of the positioning connecting plate 31. The plunger fixing block 33 is provided with a threaded hole 331 coaxial with the countersunk hole 312. The fastening plunger 32 can pass through the countersunk hole 312 and be threadedly connected to the threaded hole 331. Since the positioning connecting plate 31 has a thin wall thickness, it is not possible to provide a high-precision threaded hole 331. By using the plunger fixing block 33, the length of the threaded hole 331 is increased, improving the precision of the threaded hole 331 and the installation strength of the fastening plunger 32. The fastening plunger 32 passing through the countersunk hole 312 and being threadedly connected to the threaded hole 331 ensures that the fastening plunger 32 is always located on the positioning connecting plate 31, preventing the fastening plunger 32 from falling off or being lost, improving the ease of operation and portability. Moreover, rotating the fastening plunger 32 allows the fastening plunger 32 to move axially, and the bottom end of the fastening plunger 32 can pass through or disengage from the limiting hole 13, making operation convenient.

[0039] More preferably, the auxiliary tooling for assembling the shuttle guide rail also includes several sliders 5 and two slide rails 6. The two slide rails 6 are spaced apart on the base plate 1 along a first direction and extend along a second direction. Several sliders 5 are disposed at the bottom of the positioning connecting plate 31 and are slidably connected to the two slide rails 6 respectively, thereby realizing that the positioning connecting plate 31 is slidably connected to the base plate 1, driving the positioning plate 2 to slide along the second direction, thus improving the accuracy of the positioning plate 2.

[0040] Preferably, there are two positioning connecting plates 31 and two corresponding positioning plates 2, located on both sides of the base plate 1 along the second direction. The two positioning connecting plates 31 share two guide rails 20. When installing the two guide rails 20, the two positioning plates 2 are symmetrical about the first axis 14. The two positioning plates 2 respectively position the two guide rails 20, eliminating the need to rotate the shuttle guide assembly auxiliary tooling 180°, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment, two handles 4 are provided on the top of the base plate 1, spaced apart along a first direction. The operator can move the shuttle guide rail using the handles 4 to assemble auxiliary tooling, improving operational convenience. In this embodiment, the handles 4 are made of aluminum alloy.

[0042] Preferably, the positioning plate 2 is provided with three positioning arms 21 spaced apart along the first direction, and the positioning surfaces of the positioning arms 21 are used to fit the guide rail 20. On the one hand, a notch is formed between adjacent positioning arms 21, which reduces the material cost of the positioning plate 2; on the other hand, compared with the entire surface of the positioning plate 2 being fitted, only the positioning surfaces of the three positioning arms 21 of the positioning plate 2 are fitted to the guide rail 20, so it is only necessary to ensure the accuracy of the three positioning arms 21, which reduces the processing difficulty and processing cost.

[0043] Preferably, the positioning connecting plate 31 is provided with a first hollow hole 311 to reduce the weight of the positioning connecting plate 31.

[0044] More preferably, the base plate 1 is provided with a plurality of second hollow holes 12 to reduce the weight of the base plate 1.

[0045] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
