Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of five-station pressure reducer technology, and in particular to a material frame fixing mechanism for a five-station pressure reducer assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] The material frame of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine is a key component in the automated assembly production line of pressure reducers. Its design must take into account material storage, flow efficiency, assembly accuracy and equipment compatibility. The material frame must be adapted to the five-station assembly process, with each station corresponding to an independent storage area (such as a parts warehouse or a semi-finished product temporary storage area), and precise flow between stations is achieved through robotic arms or conveyor belts.

[0003] During the processing of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine's material frame, high precision and high efficiency production requirements must be met. The rapid and stable fixation of the material frame is a key link to ensure assembly quality and the safety of the robotic arm operation. Since the robotic arm needs to frequently and accurately grab parts from the material frame during the assembly process, if the material frame cannot be fixed in position quickly, it is very easy for it to shake or even tip over due to external forces when the robotic arm unloads the material. This will not only lead to failure in grabbing parts and interruption of the assembly process, but may also cause collisions between the robotic arm and the material frame and other parts of the equipment, resulting in equipment damage, production delays, and even threatening the personal safety of the operators.

[0004] However, existing material frames have obvious defects in design and use, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid fixing and disassembly. On the one hand, the fixing structure of some material frames is complex, requiring operators to spend a lot of time on installation and debugging. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the risk of insecure fixing due to operational errors. For example, some material frames use bolt fastening, requiring operators to tighten or loosen multiple bolts one by one, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. This drawback is particularly prominent in production scenarios where material frames are frequently replaced.

[0005] On the other hand, the existing fixing methods of the material frame are not stable enough. Even if it is fixed, it may still loosen or shake under the continuous action of the robotic arm. This is mainly because the design of the fixing structure does not fully consider the impact force and vibration when the robotic arm unloads the material, and lacks an effective shock absorption and anti-shaking mechanism. For example, some material frames are fixed by simple slots. When the robotic arm quickly grabs the parts, a small gap is easily generated between the slot and the material frame, causing the material frame to shake, which in turn affects the accuracy and stability of the parts grabbing.

[0006] In addition, the existing material frames also face difficulties in disassembly; the disassembly process is complicated and time-consuming, which not only increases equipment downtime, but may also damage the material frames or fixed parts due to improper disassembly, further increasing production costs; for example, the disassembly of some material frames requires the use of special tools, and the disassembly sequence is strictly required. Once an operation error is made, the material frame may be deformed or the fixed parts may be damaged, affecting subsequent use;

[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a material frame for a five-station pressure reducer assembly machine that can be quickly fixed and disassembled. This new material frame should have a simple and easy-to-use fixing structure, allowing operators to complete the installation and fixing of the material frame in a short time, while ensuring the stability after fixing and effectively resisting the shaking and tipping when the robotic arm unloads materials. During disassembly, it should also achieve quick and non-destructive operation, reduce equipment downtime, lower production costs, and improve overall production efficiency and quality. Utility Model Content

[0008] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a material frame fixing mechanism for a five-station pressure reducer assembly machine to address the above-mentioned technical problems. This mechanism allows for quick disassembly of the material frame and facilitates adjustment of its position.

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention solves the problems mentioned in the background art through the following technical solution.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] A material frame fixing mechanism for a five-station pressure reducer assembly machine, comprising:

[0012] The device body and the assembly material frame, wherein the assembly material frame is located at the upper end of the device body;

[0013] The installation mechanism is located at the upper end of the main body of the device for fixing the material frame. The installation mechanism includes a slide rod, and a right clamping plate is slidably connected to the upper end of the slide rod.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, a bracket is installed at the upper end of the main body of the device, and a driving component is provided at the upper end of the bracket.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, the two ends of the driving member are connected to a first folding rod, one end of the first folding rod is movably connected to a second folding rod, and the upper end of the main body of the device is fixedly connected to a left clamping plate.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, an adjustment mechanism is installed at the lower end of the main body of the device, and the adjustment mechanism includes a slider.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, a slide rail is inserted inside the slider, and a buckle groove is opened inside the slide rail.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, the slider is provided with a buckle, and one end of the buckle is connected to an elastic element.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, one end of the elastic element is movably connected to a spring buckle, and the outer surface of the spring buckle fits into the buckle groove.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, the buckle groove is provided with several sets, the two ends of the buckle are in contact with the inner wall of the slider, and the inner wall of the slider is in sliding cooperation with the outer surface of the slider.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, the lower end of the first folding rod is rotatably engaged with one end of the second folding rod, and the inner wall of the right clamping plate is made of rubber.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism provided by this utility model, the lower end of the right clamping plate is slidably engaged with the slide rod.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This utility model provides a five-station pressure reducer assembly machine material frame fixing mechanism. By setting an installation mechanism at the upper end of the main body of the device, after the drive component is activated, it drives the first folding rods at both ends to move. The first folding rods are movably connected to the second folding rods, thereby converting the driving force of the drive component into the pushing and pulling action of the second folding rods. The second folding rods further drive the right clamping plate to slide on the sliding rod, cooperating with the left clamping plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the main body of the device to achieve clamping and releasing of the assembly material frame. When the right clamping plate moves closer to the left clamping plate, the material frame is clamped and fixed; when the right clamping plate moves away from the left clamping plate, the material frame can be easily removed. The inner wall of the right clamping plate is made of rubber, which increases the friction between it and the material frame, and also provides a certain buffering protection to prevent damage to the material frame during clamping, achieving the effect of facilitating the fixing and disassembly of the material frame.

[0025] Working principle of the adjustment mechanism: The slider can slide on the slide rail. By adjusting the position of the slider, it can adapt to assembly frames of different sizes. Inside the slider, the snap-fit, under the action of the elastic element, drives the spring snap-fit ​​to engage with the snap-fit ​​groove inside the slide rail. Since there are several sets of snap-fit ​​grooves, when the slider position needs to be adjusted, a certain external force is applied to disengage the spring snap-fit ​​from the current snap-fit ​​groove. After the slider is slid to the appropriate position, the spring snap-fit, under the elastic force of the elastic element, re-engages into the corresponding snap-fit ​​groove, thus fixing the slider position and completing the adaptation to frame sizes.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Example

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A material frame fixing mechanism for a five-station pressure reducer assembly machine, comprising:

[0037] The device body 1 and the component material frame 2 are located at the upper end of the device body 1.

[0038] Installation mechanism 3 is located at the upper end of the main body 1 of the device for fixing the material frame. Installation mechanism 3 includes slide rod 31, and the upper end of slide rod 31 is slidably connected to right clamping plate 36.

[0039] A bracket 32 ​​is installed at the upper end of the main body 1 of the device, and a driving component 33 is provided at the upper end of the bracket 32;

[0040] The two ends of the driving component 33 are connected to the first folding rod 34, and one end of the first folding rod 34 is movably connected to the second folding rod 35. The upper end of the main body 1 is fixedly connected to the left clamping plate 37. The lower end of the first folding rod 34 is rotatably engaged with one end of the second folding rod 35. The inner wall of the right clamping plate 36 is made of rubber. The lower end of the right clamping plate 36 is slidably engaged with the sliding rod 31 to install the mechanism 3. After the driving component 33 is started, its power output drives the first folding rods 34 at both ends to swing. Since the first folding rod 34 and the second folding rod 35 are movably connected, the swing of the first folding rod 34 will be converted into the pushing and pulling action of the second folding rod 35. The other end of the second folding rod 35 is connected to the right clamping plate 36. The right clamping plate 36 slides horizontally on the slide rod 31. The right clamping plate 36 cooperates with the left clamping plate 37, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main body 1. When the right clamping plate 36 moves closer to the left clamping plate 37, the distance between them gradually decreases, eventually clamping the assembly material frame 2 tightly. When the right clamping plate 36 moves away from the left clamping plate 37 under the reverse drive of the driving component 33, the distance between them increases, the material frame loses its clamping force, and can be easily removed. The inner wall of the right clamping plate 36 is made of rubber, which can increase the friction between it and the material frame to ensure the stability of the clamping. On the other hand, it can also play a buffering role during the clamping process to prevent the surface of the material frame from being scratched.

[0041] An adjustment mechanism 4 is installed at the lower end of the main body 1. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a slider 41, a slide rail 42 inserted inside the slider 41, a slot 43 inside the slide rail 42, and a buckle 44 inserted inside the slider 41. One end of the buckle 44 is connected to an elastic element 45, and one end of the elastic element 45 is movably connected to a spring buckle 46. The outer surface of the spring buckle 46 fits against the slot 43. Several sets of slots 43 are provided. Both ends of the buckle 44 fit against the inner wall of the slider 41, and the inner wall of the slider 41 slides against the outer surface of the slider 41. The working principle of the adjustment mechanism 4 is that the slider 41 can slide horizontally on the slide rail 42. By adjusting the position of the slider 41, the fixing mechanism can adapt to different length dimensions. Assemble the material frame 2; inside the slider 41, the buckle 44, under the elastic force of the elastic element 45, drives the spring buckle 46 to fit tightly with the buckle groove 43 inside the slide rail 42; since the slide rail 42 is provided with several sets of buckle grooves 43, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the slider 41, the operator applies an external force greater than the elastic force of the elastic element 45, so that the spring buckle 46 disengages from the current buckle groove 43, and then slides the slider 41; when the slider 41 moves to the appropriate position, that is, when the material frame is placed stably and is adapted to the installation mechanism 3, the external force is removed, and the spring buckle 46 automatically snaps into the corresponding buckle groove 43 under the elastic force of the elastic element 45, thereby fixing the position of the slider 41 and thus completing the adaptation of material frames of different sizes;

[0042] In the actual production of the five-station pressure reducer assembly machine, when it is necessary to install assembly material frame 2:

[0043] Adjusting the position of slider 41: According to the size of the assembly material frame 2, manually adjust the position of slider 41 on slide rail 42; the operator applies external force to make spring buckle 46 disengage from the current buckle slot 43, slide slider 41, when slider 41 moves to the appropriate position, that is, when the material frame is placed stably and is compatible with the installation mechanism 3, spring buckle 46 automatically snaps into the corresponding buckle slot 43 under the elastic force of elastic element 45, thus completing the fixation of slider 41 position;

[0044] Place the material frame: Place the assembly material frame 2 on the upper end of the main body 1 of the device, so that it is between the left clamping plate 37 and the right clamping plate 36;

[0045] Clamping the material frame: Start the drive unit 33, the drive unit 33 drives the first folding rod 34 to move, the first folding rod 34 drives the second folding rod 35 to move, the second folding rod 35 pushes the right clamping plate 36 to slide on the slide rod 31 towards the left clamping plate 37, until the right clamping plate 36 and the left clamping plate 37 tightly clamp the material frame, and the fixing of the material frame is completed.

[0046] When the material frame needs to be disassembled after production is complete:

[0047] Release the material frame: Restart the drive unit 33 to make it move in the opposite direction, which will drive the first folding rod 34 and the second folding rod 35 to move, thereby causing the right clamping plate 36 to move away from the left clamping plate 37 on the slide rod 31, and release the clamping of the material frame.

[0048] Remove the material frame: Remove the assembly material frame 2 from the top of the main body 1 of the device to complete the disassembly operation; throughout the process, the fixing mechanism realizes the quick fixing and disassembly of the material frame, improves production efficiency, and ensures the stability of the assembly process.

[0049] The usage process of the drone with a buffer structure provided by this utility model is as follows: The working principle of the mounting mechanism 3: After the drive component 33 is activated, it drives the first folding rods 34 at both ends to move. The first folding rods 34 are movably connected to the second folding rods 35, thereby converting the driving force of the drive component 33 into the pushing and pulling action of the second folding rods 35. The second folding rods 35 further drive the right clamping plate 36 to slide on the sliding rod 31, cooperating with the left clamping plate 37 fixedly connected to the upper end of the main body 1 to achieve clamping and releasing of the assembly material frame 2. When the right clamping plate 36 moves closer to the left clamping plate 37, the clamping and fixing of the material frame is completed. When the right clamping plate 36 moves away from the left clamping plate 37, the material frame can be easily removed. The inner wall of the right clamping plate 36 is made of rubber, which increases the friction between it and the material frame, and also plays a certain buffering and protective role, preventing damage to the material frame during clamping.

[0050] Working principle of adjustment mechanism 4: The slider 41 can slide on the slide rail 42. By adjusting the position of the slider 41, it can adapt to different sizes of assembly frame 2. Inside the slider 41, the buckle 44, under the action of the elastic element 45, drives the spring buckle 46 to fit into the buckle groove 43 inside the slide rail 42. Since there are several sets of buckle grooves 43, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the slider 41, a certain external force is applied to make the spring buckle 46 disengage from the current buckle groove 43. After sliding the slider 41 to the appropriate position, the spring buckle 46 is re-engaged into the corresponding buckle groove 43 under the elastic force of the elastic element 45, thereby fixing the position of the slider 41 and thus completing the adaptation of different sizes of frame.
