Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of jigs, and particularly relates to a modular jig. Background Technology

[0002] Fixtures are specialized tools used in manufacturing to assist in processing, assembly, and inspection. Their main function is to accurately position and fix workpieces or guide tools to ensure production efficiency and product consistency. They can reduce human error, simplify operation, and improve accuracy. They are widely used in machining, electronic assembly, and automobile manufacturing, and are key auxiliary equipment in mass production.

[0003] In conventional fixtures, fixtures are generally customized for a single product. Therefore, the entire fixture set is only suitable for the corresponding product. If the product needs to be upgraded or replaced, or if the same workstation needs to test different types of products, multiple sets of matching fixtures need to be customized, which increases manufacturing costs. The discarded fixtures will also cause a waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular fixture to solve the technical defects described in the background art.

[0005] The modular fixture includes a workbench module, which is fixed within a workstation on a production line or testing line. A base module is mounted on the workbench module, and a support block and a lifting power module are installed on the base module. The support block has a support opening, on which a carrier plate module is supported. The carrier plate module is fixed to the support opening by its own counterweight, allowing it to be lifted upwards from the support opening and separated from it. The top surface of the carrier plate module has a product slot for placing products. The lifting power module is driven by a lifting plate, on which a fixing block is mounted. The lifting power module drives the lifting plate to press the fixing block down onto the product in the product slot, thereby pressing and fixing the product and the carrier plate module.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0007] 1. Because the support block has a support port, the carrier plate module is fixed to the support port by its own counterweight, so that the carrier plate module can be lifted upward from the support port and separated from the support port. At the same time, the product slot for positioning, fixing and guiding the product is set on the carrier plate module. Therefore, when the product needs to be raised and replaced, or when different products need to be tested and processed in the same work station or testing equipment, only a carrier plate module that is compatible with the product needs to be prepared for replacement. There is no need to customize and discard the entire set of fixtures, thereby reducing the equipment preparation cost and avoiding the waste of resources caused by discarding the entire set of fixtures.

[0008] 2. Because the carrier module is fixed to the support port by its own counterweight, the carrier module can be easily replaced and installed;

[0009] 3. When processing, assembling and inspecting the products in the product slot, the lifting power module drives the lifting plate to press the fixing block down onto the products in the product slot, so as to press down and fix the products and the carrier plate module, thereby preventing the products and the carrier plate module from shifting.

[0010] To further optimize the above technical solutions, they can be combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0011] In some implementations, two support blocks are mounted on the base module, each support block having a support opening to support both sides of the carrier plate module through the support openings of the two support blocks;

[0012] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the present invention further achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. It can reduce the materials required for the fabrication of the base module and reduce the weight of the base module;

[0014] 2. Because the two support blocks support the two sides of the carrier plate module, heat dissipation space is provided below the carrier plate module.

[0015] In some implementations, the shape and size of the support opening match the shape and size of the sides of the carrier module;

[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, during the process of the lifting power module driving the lifting plate to press the fixed block down into the product slot, and when the carrier plate module is placed in the support opening, displacement of the carrier plate module can be effectively avoided.

[0017] In some implementations, the lifting plate is equipped with probes for contacting the product;

[0018] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, when the lifting power module drives the lifting plate to press the fixing block down onto the product in the product slot to fix the product, the probe can be used simultaneously with the product to read the data on the product, thereby facilitating auxiliary processing, assembly, and testing of the product.

[0019] In some embodiments, the lifting power module drives a drive plate that moves up and down above it, and one side of the lifting plate is provided with screws or clips for locking with the drive plate.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the lifting plate can be easily disassembled from the drive plate and removed from the fixture. Therefore, when a product needs to be upgraded or when different products need to be tested and processed in the same workstation or testing equipment, it is only necessary to prepare a lifting plate with probes and fixing blocks that are compatible with the product for replacement, thereby further optimizing the equipment manufacturing cost.

[0021] In some implementations, the workbench module is surrounded by a placement part by several limiting and positioning strips, and the base module is placed in the placement part. The base module is fixed in the placement part by its own counterweight, so that the base module can be lifted up from the placement part and separated from the placement part.

[0022] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the present invention further achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. Since the base module is fixed in the placement part by its own counterweight, the base module can be lifted up from the placement part and separated from the placement part. Therefore, the base module can be easily removed from the placement part, that is, the base module can be easily separated from the fixture for maintenance and replacement.

[0024] 2. Since the base module can be easily removed from the placement section and the carrier can be easily removed from the support port, the various components of the fixture can be assembled in a modular manner, thereby enabling different components to be adapted to different products, thus improving the utilization rate and versatility of each component.

[0025] In some embodiments, one of the limiting positioning bars is provided with clamping screws for clamping and locking the base module within the placement portion;

[0026] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the base module is locked and fixed by clamping screws, which can effectively prevent displacement when the base module is placed in the placement section, when the carrier plate module is placed in the support opening, and when the lifting power module drives the lifting plate to press the fixing block down onto the product in the product slot.

[0027] In some embodiments, the workbench module is equipped with a casing for surrounding the base module, and the top of the casing has an opening for the conveying mechanism to pick up and place products in the product slot, to pick up and place the carrier plate module in the support opening, and to pick up and place the base module in the placement section.

[0028] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the enclosure effectively provides physical protection for the various mechanisms within the workbench module.

[0029] In some embodiments, a cover is hinged to the open side of the enclosure, and a support rod is installed on one side of the enclosure to support the cover and keep it in an open or closed state.

[0030] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the material protection performance of the enclosure is improved by setting a cover on the opening of the enclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, this specific embodiment will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this specific embodiment provides a modular fixture, which includes a workbench module 1, a base module 2, a carrier plate module 5, and a lifting plate 4. The workbench module 1 is used to fix itself in a workstation on a production line or testing line.

[0041] The workbench module 1 is equipped with several limiting and positioning strips 11, which surround the placement part 12. The base module 2 is placed inside the placement part 12 and is fixed to the placement part 12 by its own counterweight, so that the base module 2 can be lifted upward from the placement part 12 and separated from it. One of the limiting and positioning strips 11 is provided with a clamping screw 13 for clamping and locking the base module 2 inside the placement part 12.

[0042] The base module 2 is equipped with support blocks 21 and a lifting power module 3. There are at least two support blocks 21, each with a support opening 22. The shape and size of the support opening 22 match the shape and size of the two sides of the carrier plate module 5, so that the two sides of the carrier plate module 5 can be supported by the support openings 22 of the two support blocks 21. The carrier plate module 5 is fixed to the support opening 22 by its own counterweight, allowing the carrier plate module 5 to be lifted upwards from the support opening 22 and separated from it. The top surface of the carrier plate module 5 has a product slot 51 for placing products. The lifting power module 3 drives a drive plate 31 that moves up and down above it. The lifting module can be selected as a cylinder, lead screw module, or other module capable of driving the plate 31 to move up and down. One side of the lifting plate 4 is provided with screws or clips for locking with the drive plate 31. A fixing block 41 and a probe 42 are installed on the lifting plate 4, and the other side of the lifting plate 4 extends above the product slot 51. The lifting power module 3 is used to drive the lifting plate 4 to press the fixing block 41 down into the product slot 51 to fix the product and the carrier plate module 5, and at the same time, drive the probe 42 to contact the product.

[0043] The workbench module 1 is also equipped with a casing 6 for surrounding the base module 2. The top of the casing 6 is provided with an opening 61. The opening 61 is used for the conveying mechanism to pick up and put down products in the product slot 51, to pick up and put down the carrier plate module 5 in the support port 22, and to pick up and put down the base module 2 in the placement part 12. A cover 62 is hinged to one side of the opening 61 of the casing 6. A support rod 63 is installed on one side of the casing 6 to support the cover 62 and keep it in the open or closed state.

[0044] The following is an instruction manual for using a modular fixture as described in this specific embodiment.

[0045] When a product needs to be upgraded or replaced, or when different products need to be tested and processed in the same workstation or testing equipment, the base module 2 can be selectively engaged by operating the clamping screw 13. At this time, the base module 2 can be lifted upwards from the placement part 12 and separated from it. The base module 2 can then be removed from the modular fixture for replacement with another base module 2 compatible with the product. When installing another base module 2, the base module 2 simply needs to be placed within the placement part 12, where it is fixed in place by its own counterweight. Afterwards, the base module 2 is clamped and locked by operating screws or clips. Alternatively, the carrier plate module 5 can be lifted upwards from the support opening 22 and separated from it. The carrier plate module 5 can then be removed from the modular fixture for replacement with another carrier plate module 5 compatible with the product. When installing another carrier plate module 5, the carrier plate module 5 simply needs to be placed on the support opening 22, where it is fixed in place by its own counterweight. Since the lifting plate 4 is equipped with a fixing block 41 for pressing down the product and a probe 42 for contacting the product, after replacing it with a base module 2 or carrier module 5 that is compatible with the product, the lifting plate 4 can be removed from the drive plate 31 by operating the screws or clips used to fix the lifting plate 4 to the drive plate 31. After that, the lifting plate 4 can be removed from the modular fixture and replaced with another lifting plate 4 that is compatible with the product.

[0046] Based on the above, the workbench module 1, base module 2, carrier plate module 5, and lifting plate 4 can all be easily assembled as modular components, thereby enabling the adaptation of the corresponding base module 2, carrier plate module 5, and lifting plate 4 for different products.
