Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moxa stick processing and manufacturing technology, specifically to a positioning clamp for picking up and placing paper sleeves. Background Technology
[0002] Moxibustion, as one of the traditional Chinese medicine therapies, has gained increasing popularity among consumers in recent years. With the booming development of the moxibustion industry, various moxibustion devices have appeared on the market, among which the suspended moxibustion cylinder is particularly popular due to its unique design. A suspended moxibustion cylinder typically consists of an outer paper sleeve, an inner support, and a bottom cloth piece. The outer paper sleeve provides protection, the inner support suspends the moxa stick, preventing it from directly contacting the inner wall of the paper sleeve, and the bottom cloth piece wraps around the bottom of the cylinder to prevent ash from falling during moxibustion. The bottom cloth piece is secured by a fixing sleeve fitted over the outer wall of the paper sleeve. A crucial step in the manufacturing process of the suspended moxibustion cylinder is placing the inner support, which holds the moxa stick, into the paper sleeve. This process requires the paper sleeve to be grasped and placed neatly, and then the inner support is suspended within it using other mechanisms. A positioning fixture is needed to ensure the neat placement of the paper sleeve. This fixture not only positions the paper sleeve but also allows for the successful installation of the cloth fixing sleeve after the inner support is placed. Designing a positioning fixture that meets these production requirements is a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0003] To meet the above technical requirements, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning clamp for picking up and placing paper sleeves, which can neatly place the paper sleeves inside the clamp after they are picked up, making positioning convenient, and can also realize the installation of subsequent components of the moxibustion tube.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a positioning fixture for picking up and placing paper sleeves, comprising several fixtures arranged on a turntable; the fixture has a base, with a recessed groove in the center of the base, and a positioning shaft extending out of the base surface in the center of the recessed groove; a spring ring and a positioning sleeve are arranged sequentially from bottom to top along the bottom edge of the recessed groove; the positioning sleeve can move up and down by compressing the spring ring under external force; the top of the positioning sleeve extends out of the base, and the portion of the positioning sleeve extending out of the base has symmetrical notches and guide openings, with guide pins in the two guide openings to prevent the positioning sleeve from deviating when moving up and down; a locking platform is provided on the inner wall of the positioning sleeve near the top; when the turntable rotates, the paper sleeves are continuously picked up and placed onto each fixture by the gripping mechanism.
[0005] Furthermore, the base edge is evenly provided with several fixing holes for connecting to the turntable.
[0006] The part of the positioning sleeve that extends out of the base is higher than the part of the positioning shaft that extends out of the base.
[0007] The line connecting the centerlines of the two notches and the two guide openings is perpendicular.
[0008] The clamping mechanism includes a support, a transverse linear module located above the support, and a longitudinal linear module located on the transverse module. A clamping component is provided on the longitudinal linear module to position the paper sleeve on the clamp.
[0009] The gripping assembly includes a gripping frame fixed on the longitudinal linear module. The end of the gripping frame is provided with two pneumatic claws. Each pneumatic claw is connected to a gripping arm. The gripping arm can open and close under the drive of the pneumatic claw. When the gripping arm is closed, it extends into the paper sleeve. When the gripping arm is open, the paper sleeve is placed into the fixture under the alternating control of the transverse linear module and the longitudinal linear module.
[0010] When this utility model is in use, the turntable is started, and the paper sleeve supply device continuously delivers paper sleeves. Under the alternating drive of the horizontal linear module and the vertical module, the gripping component in the gripping mechanism closes and extends into the paper sleeve. When the gripping arm opens, it fixes the paper sleeve and then grips the paper sleeve to the top of the fixture. At this time, the turntable stops rotating, and the gripping arm places the paper sleeve onto the positioning shaft of the fixture. In actual use, the positioning sleeve will move up and down by compressing the spring ring by external force. During this movement, in order to prevent the positioning sleeve from deviating from the direction, a guide pin is set at the guide opening.
[0011] Once a paper sleeve is placed in the fixture at a certain workstation, the turntable rotates again, waiting for the next paper sleeve to be picked up by the gripping mechanism and placed into the fixture at a new workstation, repeating this workflow.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by cooperating with the clamping mechanism, the paper sleeve can be accurately placed in the fixture, which facilitates subsequent processes; the degree of automation is high and the work efficiency is greatly improved.
