Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of equipment switching, specifically, it relates to a switching device for a welding adjustment line equipment storage platform. Background Technology
[0002] On the automotive welding production line, the adjustment line is a key process to ensure the accuracy of the vehicle body dimensions.
[0003] The fittings on the alignment line are core process equipment that ensures the precise assembly of vehicle body parts. Currently, the alignment line used by the inventor's company is shared by five models: FX11, FX12, M1A, GS11, and A00.
[0004] Traditional tooling storage stations are mostly fixed structures, making it impossible to quickly switch tooling storage locations according to different vehicle models. This results in low production efficiency and occupies limited space along the adjustment line. To meet the tooling storage and retrieval needs of different vehicle models, multiple tooling storage positions are usually required. When switching vehicle models, employees need to move the tools from the fixed storage location to the adjustment line, repeating this process every time a new vehicle model is switched. This operation is cumbersome and inefficient, increasing the workload of employees and also increasing the risk of bumps and knocks during handling.
[0005] According to the inventor's search, a door fixture storage bracket, disclosed on April 20, 2018, with application number CN201721021561.5, is described. The storage bracket includes a base, a support column, and a fixture bracket. The support column is fixed to the base, and the fixture bracket is fixed to the support column and tilted to allow the door fixture to be placed at an angle. While this bracket is simple in structure and convenient to use, and reduces the space occupied by storage brackets next to the production line to some extent, it limits the number of fixtures it can store. This fixture storage bracket is placed next to the adjustment line. When different fixtures need to be changed, workers must unload the existing fixtures and move them to the storage area before the required fixtures can be placed on the bracket. This process is prone to damaging the fixtures and is inefficient, failing to achieve the goal of rapid fixture switching. Utility Model Content

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this utility model, and to facilitate its implementation.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a welding adjustment line fixture storage platform switching device includes a fixture storage platform 1, a storage platform frame 2, a limiting mechanism 3, a fixing mechanism 4, and a first moving mechanism 5. The lower end of the fixture storage platform 1 is provided with a second moving mechanism 6, and the storage platform frame 2 is provided with a sliding groove 7. The second moving mechanism 6 is disposed on the sliding groove 7. The limiting mechanism 3 is disposed on the end of the storage platform frame 2 adjacent to the sliding groove 7. The fixing mechanism 4 is disposed on the end of the storage platform frame 2 opposite to the limiting mechanism 3. The first moving mechanism 5 is disposed at the bottom end of the storage platform frame 2.
[0027] The storage platform frame 2 is equipped with a set of parallel sliding grooves 7, which are straight grooves. The cooperation between the sliding grooves 7 and the second moving mechanism 6 can increase the versatility of the mechanism and save costs. When it is necessary to move the equipment 9, simply place the equipment 9 on the equipment storage platform 1, and the equipment storage platform 1 can be pushed onto the storage platform frame 2 by the cooperation of the second moving mechanism 6 and the sliding grooves 7. The storage platform frame 2 is then moved by the first moving mechanism 5 to achieve the purpose of moving the equipment 9. During the handling process, the limiting mechanism 3 can restrict the movement of the equipment storage platform 1 on the storage platform frame 2, and the fixing mechanism 4 can fix the storage platform frame 2 to the side of the adjustment line platform to prevent the storage platform frame 1 from shaking when the employee moves the equipment storage platform 1.
[0028] The use of the first moving mechanism 5 and the second moving mechanism 6 facilitates the handling of equipment 9 by employees. This welding adjustment line equipment storage platform switching device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and maintain. Thanks to the first moving mechanism 5 and the second moving mechanism 6, the equipment storage position can be switched conveniently and quickly, improving production efficiency. This welding adjustment line equipment storage platform switching device can flexibly adjust the equipment storage position as needed, effectively saving limited space and improving the utilization rate of the storage platform.
[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the limiting mechanism 3 includes a limiting block 31, a connecting block 32, and a base 33. One end of the connecting block 32 is connected to the limiting block 31, and the other end is connected to the base 33. The base 33 is mounted on the storage platform frame 2. The limiting mechanism 3, in conjunction with the slide groove 7, can restrict the movement of the equipment storage platform 1 on the storage platform frame 2. The limiting mechanism 3 is also used to limit the movement of the equipment storage platform 1 when it is moved onto the storage platform frame 2. The connecting block 32 has an L-shaped structure, which can raise the height of the limiting block 31 to facilitate the use of the limiting mechanism 3 with the equipment storage platform 1. The limiting block 31 is a rubber or nylon block, which can provide a certain cushioning effect and effectively prevent bumps.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the fixing mechanism 4 includes a pin hole 41, a pin 42, and a positioning hole 43 located on the side of the welding adjustment line. The pin hole 41 is located on the storage platform frame 2; the pin 42 engages with the pin hole 41 and the positioning hole 43. When an employee needs to replace the equipment storage platform 1 on the adjustment line step, they push the storage platform frame 2 to the side of the adjustment line step and manually insert the pin 42 into the pin hole 41 and then into the hole 43 on the side of the adjustment line step, thereby fixing the storage platform frame 2. The equipment storage platform 1 to be replaced is then pushed onto the fixed storage platform frame 2. During this process, the fixed storage platform frame 2 can prevent the storage platform frame 2 from moving due to pushing force or other reasons, thus avoiding danger.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the first moving mechanism 5 includes a first caster 51 and a first caster base 52. One end of the first caster base 52 is connected to the first caster 51, and the other end is connected to the storage platform frame 2. The first caster base 52 has an I-shaped vertical cross-section. The first moving mechanism 5 allows for convenient and quick handling of the equipment 9. The I-shaped vertical cross-section of the first caster base 52 effectively increases the height of the storage platform frame 2, facilitating its use with the adjustment line step. When the storage platform frame 2 is pushed to the side of the adjustment line step, the equipment storage platform 1 can be pushed onto the storage platform frame 2. The first moving mechanism 5 allows employees to quickly and easily change the storage position of the equipment storage platform 1, improving space utilization, simplifying the handling process, and increasing production efficiency.
[0032] like Figure 2As shown, the second moving mechanism 6 includes a second caster 61 and a second caster base 62. One end of the second caster base 62 is connected to the second caster 61, and the other end is connected to the equipment storage platform 1. The use of the second moving mechanism 6 allows employees to easily push the equipment storage platform 1 from the adjustment line step directly onto the storage platform frame 2, simplifying employee handling and effectively improving work efficiency. The cuboid structure of the second caster base 62 enhances the secure connection between the second caster 61 and the equipment storage platform 1, preventing it from falling off and causing danger.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the storage platform frame 2 is equipped with a handrail mechanism 8. The handrail mechanism 8 includes a handrail bar 81, a connecting mechanism 82, a connecting rod 83, and a handrail base 84. The handrail bar 81 is connected to the connecting mechanism 82, one end of the connecting rod 83 is connected to the connecting mechanism 82, and the other end of the connecting rod 83 is connected to the handrail base 84. The handrail base 84 is connected to the storage platform frame 2. The use of the handrail mechanism 8 facilitates the movement of the storage platform frame 2 by employees, thereby improving production efficiency. The cuboid structure of the handrail base 84 increases the connection strength between the handrail mechanism 8 and the storage platform frame 2.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting mechanism 82 includes a connector 821, a limiting plate 822, a bolt 823, and a knob 824. One end of the connector 821 is connected to the limiting plate 822, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 83. One end of the bolt 823 protrudes from the connector 821 and is connected to the handrail 81. The knob 824 is located on the other end of the bolt 823. The handrail 81 is located on one side of the limiting plate 822, and both ends of the handrail 81 have threaded holes 811 for connecting to the bolt 823. The connecting mechanism 82 connects the handrail 81 and the connecting rod 83, and the bolt 823 allows for the tightening or loosening of the connection between the handrail 81 and the connecting rod 83, enabling angle adjustment between them. The knob 824 allows employees to easily tighten or loosen the bolt 823. The connector 821 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 83, increasing the reliability of the connecting mechanism 82. The limiting plate 822 on the connector 821 can prevent excessive rotation of the handrail 81. The use of the connecting mechanism 82 facilitates use by employees of different heights and improves production efficiency.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage platform frame 2 includes vertical crossbars 21 and frame bars 22, with the vertical crossbars 21 and frame bars 22 fixedly connected. The storage platform frame 2 has a grid-like structure, which facilitates its lightweight design; the storage platform frame 2 has a simple structure and is easy to process and manufacture.
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the limiting mechanism 3 is configured as a set; the fixing mechanism 4 is configured as a set; and the slide 7 is configured as a set. The limiting mechanism 3 is configured as a set to better limit the position of the equipment storage platform 1; the set of fixing mechanisms 4 can prevent the storage platform frame 2 from moving during the fixing process; the slide 7 is configured as a set to cooperate with the second moving mechanism 6, making it more labor-saving and improving production efficiency during use.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 33 has a cuboid structure; the second caster base 62 has a cuboid structure; the armrest base 84 has a cuboid structure. The connector 821 has a cuboid structure; the limiting plate 822 has a cuboid structure. Using a cuboid structure ensures connection strength, and the cuboid structure is simple and has low manufacturing cost.
[0038] This utility model relates to a mechanism for switching between storage platforms on welding adjustment lines. It mainly consists of a storage platform 1, a storage platform frame 2, a limiting mechanism 3, a fixing mechanism 4, a first moving mechanism 5, and a second moving mechanism 6. In use, the storage platform 1 is pushed onto the sliding groove 7 on the storage platform frame 2. The limiting mechanism 3 restricts the movement of the storage platform 1 during transport. The handle mechanism 8 pushes and pulls the storage platform frame 2 to achieve rapid switching and retrieval of equipment 9. The second moving mechanism 6 is installed on the storage platform 1, making the switching process faster and more convenient. During switching, the fixing mechanism 4 prevents the storage platform 1 from shaking due to pushing force, which could cause danger. The limiting mechanism 3 not only limits the position of the storage platform 1 but also acts as a buffer against collisions, preventing the storage platform 1 from slipping and causing danger during movement. The first moving mechanism 5 allows for quick and convenient switching of equipment storage positions, improving production efficiency. The handrail mechanism 8 can accommodate employees of different heights, increasing convenience during handling and improving production efficiency. The cooperation between the slide 7 and the second moving mechanism 6 increases the versatility of the welding adjustment line's fixture storage platform switching mechanism. This invention has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and maintain; it enables rapid switching of fixture 9 storage positions, improves space utilization, ensures operational safety, and enhances the production efficiency of the welding adjustment line.
