Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, a customized fixture for an intelligent material handling system includes: a mounting plate 1, which is L-shaped; a movable plate 2 connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 1 via a lifting assembly; the movable plate 2 is T-shaped; a mounting frame 3 connected to the movable plate 2 via a rotating assembly; and two symmetrically arranged side plates 4 connected to the mounting frame 3 via an adjusting assembly. A fixing mechanism is provided between the two side plates 4.

[0025] The fixing mechanism includes two clamping plates 5, and an elastic component is provided between the two clamping plates 5 and the side plate 4. V-shaped grooves are provided on the clamping plates 5, and anti-slip pads 6 are fixedly provided on the outer side walls of the two clamping plates 5 at opposite ends.

[0026] As can be seen from the above, by fixing the mounting plate 1 to the bottom of the aerial shuttle, after the installation is completed, the two side plates 4 are adjusted to move in opposite directions by adjusting the settings of the adjustment components, so that the clamping plate 5 is close to the material box containing the material, so that the clamping plate 5 contacts the material box and clamps and fixes the material box. When the clamping plate 5 applies pressure to the material, the clamping plate 5 is squeezed by the material box, so that the clamping plate 5 moves towards the side plate 4, so that the elastic component is compressed. When the side plate 4 and the clamping plate 5 contact, the adjustment components stop driving the side plate 4 to move, so as to avoid excessive compression and damage to the material. At the same time, the compression degree of the elastic component is the same each time it is clamped, so that the clamping force is consistent each time. The V-groove and anti-slip pad 6 design on the clamping plate 5 facilitates the clamping and fixing of the cylindrical material box, so that the device can adapt to materials of different shapes and provide a stable gripping force to prevent the material from sliding or shifting.

[0027] In addition, the use of lifting components ensures stable vertical lifting of the fixture, meeting the handling needs of workstations at different heights.

[0028] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned elastic components, please refer to... Figure 4 As shown, the elastic component includes multiple movable rods 7 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the clamping plate 5. Multiple mounting slots adapted to the movable rods 7 are provided on the outer wall of the side plate 4. The ends of the multiple movable rods 7 away from the clamping plate 5 pass through the corresponding mounting slots and through the side plate 4. A first limiting block is fixedly provided at the end of the movable rod 7.

[0029] A spring 8 is fitted onto the movable rod 7, and the two ends of the spring 8 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting groove and the outer side wall of the clamping plate 5, respectively.

[0030] As can be seen from the above, when the side plate 4 and the clamping plate 5 come into contact, the spring 8 is squeezed into the mounting groove, thereby clamping and fixing the material box by the elastic force generated by the compression of the spring 8, so that the clamping force of the device on the material box is consistent and avoids excessive compression of the material box, which would damage the material.

[0031] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned lifting components, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly includes an electric push rod 9 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plate 1. The bottom of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 2. A guide assembly is provided between the movable plate 2 and the mounting plate 1.

[0032] The guide assembly includes fixed plates 10 fixedly mounted on the outer walls of both ends of the movable plate 2, and multiple guide rods 11 that are slidably mounted through both fixed plates 10. The top of the guide rods 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 1, and a second limiting block is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the guide rods 11.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, the lifting assembly realizes the vertical lifting of the clamp through the electric push rod 9. The cooperation between the guide rod 11 and the fixed plate 10 ensures the stability of the lifting process. The design of the second limit block prevents the guide rod 11 from derailing during the lifting process, further improving the safety and stability of the system.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a rotating rod 12 rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the movable plate 2. A connecting plate 13 is fixedly mounted at the end of the rotating rod 12. The outer wall of the connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting bracket 3. A first motor 14 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the movable plate 2. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the first motor 14. The end of the rotating shaft 15 passes through the movable plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 12.

[0036] As can be seen from the above, the rotating component drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate through the first motor 14, which in turn drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, thus realizing the horizontal steering function of the fixture and meeting the handling needs in different directions. This design enables the fixture to adapt to complex handling scenarios and further improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes two movable blocks 16 that are slidably disposed at the bottom of the mounting frame 3. The bottom of the two movable blocks 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding two side plates 4. A second motor 17 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the mounting frame 3. A lead screw 18 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the second motor 17. The end of the lead screw 18 away from the second motor 17 is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 3. The lead screw 18 and the two movable blocks 16 are threadedly connected.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, the adjustment component drives the lead screw 18 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction through the second motor 17, which drives the two moving blocks 16 to slide along the mounting frame 3 in opposite or opposite directions, so as to flexibly adjust the spacing of the side plates 4, thereby making it easier to control the clamping plate 5 to clamp and release the material box. This design can adapt to material boxes of different sizes and shapes, reduce the frequency of clamp replacement, and reduce the maintenance cost of the system.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
