Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevators, and in particular to a positioning fixture for welding and processing scissor arms of elevators. Background Technology

[0002] The scissor lift arm is one of the core components of a lifting platform, and its structural stability and precision directly affect the overall performance and service life of the platform. During the manufacturing process of the scissor lift arm, the bushing needs to be welded into the pin holes of the fork rod; the welding quality in this process is crucial. Traditional welding methods typically rely on manual positioning, which is easily affected by human factors, making it difficult to guarantee the concentricity and axial parallelism between the bushing and the pin holes of the fork rod, thus affecting the welding quality. While some existing welding fixtures can provide some positioning functionality, they often require complex operating procedures and cannot achieve rapid adjustment or mass production. For example, to ensure that the line connecting the bolt holes on both sides of the bushing remains horizontal, a positioning rod needs to be manually inserted into the bushing, which is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a positioning fixture for welding and processing scissor arms of elevators.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a positioning fixture for welding and processing a scissor arm of a lifting platform, comprising a base plate, a pair of inverted U-shaped support frames on both sides of the top of the base plate, a support platform on the top of the support frame, a first pneumatic gripper embedded in the top of the support platform, the fork of the scissor arm being placed on the top of the support platform and clamped and fixed by the first pneumatic gripper, a lifting plate for vertical movement being provided inside the support frame, a power mechanism for driving the lifting plate to move up and down being provided on the base plate, a second pneumatic gripper being installed on the top of the lifting plate, the second pneumatic gripper corresponding to a bushing passing through the pin hole of the fork arm, and the bushing protruding from the side of the fork arm being clamped and fixed by the second pneumatic gripper, and a positioning pin corresponding to the bolt hole on the side wall of the bushing being provided on the inner wall of the gripper of the second pneumatic gripper.

[0005] Specifically, the inner walls of the first and second pneumatic grippers are equipped with anti-slip pads.

[0006] Specifically, the top two sides of the base plate are provided with grooves, and the power mechanism includes a cylinder set in the groove, with the cylinder extension rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0007] Specifically, the bottom of the cylinder of the second pneumatic gripper is equipped with a connecting seat, which is slidably connected to the lifting plate, and a fixing mechanism is provided between the connecting seat and the lifting plate.

[0008] Specifically, the bottom of the connecting seat is equipped with a slider, and the top of the lifting plate is equipped with a groove, with the slider sliding within the groove.

[0009] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes clamping bolts threaded to the front and rear sides of the lifting plate, and the clamping bolts are screwed into the slide groove and fixed with pressure plates. The slider is clamped and fixed by the front and rear pressure plates.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a first pneumatic gripper to fix the fork and a second pneumatic gripper to clamp the bushing. Simultaneously, a locating pin is inserted into the bolt hole on the side wall of the bushing to ensure the concentricity and axial parallelism between the bushing and the fork pin hole, thereby improving welding quality.

[0016] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a positioning fixture for welding scissor arms of a lifting platform includes a base plate 1. A pair of inverted U-shaped support frames 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the base plate 1. A support platform 3 is provided on the top of the support frame 2. A first pneumatic gripper 4 is embedded in the top of the support platform 3. The fork 5 of the scissor arm is placed on the top of the support platform 3 and clamped and fixed by the first pneumatic gripper 4. The first pneumatic gripper 4 simplifies the positioning and fixing operation of the fork 5, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0019] The support frame 2 is equipped with a lifting plate 6 that can move up and down. The base plate 1 is equipped with a power mechanism that drives the lifting plate 6 to move up and down. The top of the base plate 1 has grooves 10 on both sides. The power mechanism includes a cylinder 11 set in the groove 10. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 11 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting plate 6. A second pneumatic gripper 7 is installed on the top of the lifting plate 6. The second pneumatic gripper 7 corresponds to the bushing 8 that passes through the pin hole of the fork 5. The bushing 8 protrudes from the side of the fork 5 and is clamped and fixed by the second pneumatic gripper 7. The inner wall of the gripper of the second pneumatic gripper 7 is equipped with a positioning pin 9 that corresponds to the bolt hole on the side wall of the bushing 8. The setting of the second pneumatic gripper 7 and the positioning pin 9 not only fixes the bushing 8, but also positions the bolt holes on both sides of the bushing 8, ensuring the concentricity and axial parallelism of the bushing 8 and the pin hole of the fork 5, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0020] The inner walls of the first pneumatic gripper 4 and the second pneumatic gripper 7 are equipped with anti-slip pads. A connecting seat 12 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder of the second pneumatic gripper 7. The connecting seat 12 is slidably connected to the lifting plate 6. A slider 13 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 12. A sliding groove 14 is provided at the top of the lifting plate 6. The slider 13 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 14. A fixing mechanism is provided between the connecting seat 12 and the lifting plate 6. The fixing mechanism includes clamping bolts 15 threaded to the front and rear sides of the lifting plate 6. The clamping bolts 15 are screwed into the sliding groove 14 and fixed with pressure plates 16. The slider 13 is pressed and fixed by the two pressure plates 16. The position of the second pneumatic gripper 7 on the lifting plate 6 is adjustable and can be adjusted according to the distance of the bushing 8 protruding from the fork 5, making it highly adaptable.

[0021] When this utility model is in operation, the fork 5 is placed on the support platform 3 and then clamped and fixed by the first pneumatic gripper 4. At this time, the fork 5 is positioned. Then, the bushing 8 is inserted into the pin hole. The cylinder 11 drives the second pneumatic gripper 7 to move upward. Then, the second pneumatic gripper 7 clamps the protruding end of the bushing 8 on one side. At the same time, the positioning pin 9 is inserted into the bolt holes on both sides of the bushing 8, so that the bushing 8 keeps the line connecting the bolt holes on both sides horizontal during the welding process. At this time, the bushing 8 and the fork 5 are positioned. First, weld the side of the bushing 8 away from the second pneumatic gripper 7. After the welding is completed, release the second pneumatic gripper 7 and move it down to weld the other side of the bushing 8.

[0022] This invention uses a first pneumatic gripper 4 to fix the fork 5 and a second pneumatic gripper 7 to clamp the bushing 8. Simultaneously, a locating pin 9 is inserted into the bolt hole on the side wall of the bushing 8 to ensure the concentricity and axial parallelism between the bushing 8 and the pin hole of the fork 5, thereby improving welding quality. The use of pneumatic grippers enables rapid clamping and release, making operation simple and quick, and greatly improving production efficiency. The automated operation of the pneumatic grippers reduces manual intervention and can quickly complete the positioning and fixing of the bushing 8, making it suitable for large-scale production. This tooling structure is simple and can be adjusted according to different specifications of fork 5 and bushing 8, exhibiting good versatility and adaptability.
