Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of equipment maintenance technology, specifically to a positioning and storage device for a wedge component. Background Technology

[0002] Many equipment components require stamping processes. For example, in automobiles, hundreds of parts on the car body are formed by stamping using molds. The quality of the mold determines the quality of the formed part. Molds with wedge-shaped components (parts with a wedge-shaped surface and a triangular cross-section) are a commonly used type of stamping mold. They are used to change the vertical motion of the press to horizontal or specific angle motion, completing operations that cannot be achieved with vertical stamping, such as side punching, side flanging, and side shaping. This also results in wedge-shaped components having various specifications. Different specifications of wedge-shaped components have different angles on their wedge surfaces, and their structures and sizes also vary to meet the stamping requirements of different parts in production.

[0003] The wedge components need to be frequently removed from the mold for drilling (creating mounting holes for the punch on the plane adjacent to the wedge surface) or maintenance. Since a single wedge component can weigh several hundred kilograms, it is usually supported by jacks. However, jack support is not stable enough, and during drilling or maintenance operations that require applying force to the wedge component, it is easy for it to tip over. Furthermore, it is not convenient to support wedge components of various sizes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to provide a positioning and storage device for wedge components, which can stably support and position wedge components of various specifications, facilitating maintenance and drilling operations.

[0005] This application provides a positioning and storage device for a wedge component, including a base, a support frame disposed on the base, and an angle adjustment mechanism;

[0006] The support frame includes two support plates arranged at an angle, which are inclined or vertically arranged on the base; and at least one of the two support plates is rotatably connected to the base and can be adjusted by the angle adjustment mechanism so that the two support plates respectively fit and abut against the two adjacent surfaces of the wedge component to clamp and support the wedge component.

[0007] In one possible implementation, both support plates are rotatably connected to the base, and two angle adjustment mechanisms are provided to adjust the support angle of either support plate one-to-one, so as to adjust the storage angle of the wedge component.

[0008] In one possible implementation, one end of the support plate is rotatably connected to the base;

[0009] The angle adjustment mechanism includes a push block that supports and pushes against the support plate and a pushing component that drives the push block to move linearly, so as to adjust the support angle of the support plate on the base.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the push block has an arcuate surface that abuts against the back side surface of the support plate.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the pushing assembly includes a push rod connected to the push block, and the base is provided with a guide groove or guide hole that defines the direction of movement of the push rod.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the push rod is threadedly connected to the base, and one end of the push rod is rotatably connected to the push block and is provided with two stop portions. The two stop portions abut against the opposite sides of the push block to push the push block forward or pull the push block backward.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the base includes a base body, a lifting block protruding from the base body, and support ribs located at both ends of the base body and distributed on both sides of the base body; the push rod passes through the lifting block and is suspended above the base body.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the push block has an inner cavity and an opening connected to the inner cavity is provided on the side plate near the push rod. The first stop of the two stop portions extends into the inner cavity and abuts against the inner wall of the side plate, and the second stop portion abuts against the outer wall of the side plate on the outside of the push block.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the end of the push rod away from the push block is provided with a screw handle or connected to a power component that drives the push rod to rotate.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the base is further provided with an angle scale, which is located on one side of the support plate and disposed at the rotating end of the support plate.

[0017] The positioning and storage device for the wedge component provided in this application has two angled support plates to support the wedge component. The two vertically or inclined support plates can form a V-shaped support groove. At the same time, at least one support plate can be rotated to adjust the support angle. Thus, the included angle between the two support plates can be adjusted to accommodate the wedge surface angle of various sizes of wedge components. The two support plates can respectively conform to the two adjacent surfaces of the wedge component with an angular relationship, thereby forming a clamping triangular support for the wedge component, providing stable support. In other words, this positioning and storage device can provide clamping triangular support for wedge components of various specifications with different inclination angles and sizes, offering high applicability, convenient operation, stable support, and facilitating maintenance and drilling operations.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5This application provides a positioning and storage device for a wedge component, including a base 20, a support frame 10 mounted on the base 20, and an angle adjustment mechanism. The support frame 10 supports the wedge component and includes two support plates 11 arranged at an included angle. For example, one end of the two support plates 11 is close to each other, and the other end is far apart. The two support plates 11 are vertically or inclinedly mounted on the base 20, forming a V-shaped clamping groove between them. Alternatively, the support frame 10 can be described as being V-shaped overall. At least one of the two support plates 11 is rotatably connected to the base 20 and connected to the angle adjustment mechanism. The angle adjustment mechanism can drive the rotatably mounted support plate 11 to rotate, thereby adjusting the support angle of the support plate 11. Thus, the included angle between the two support plates 11 can be adjusted arbitrarily, adapting to the slope angle (i.e., the inclination angle of the wedge surface) of various specifications of wedge components. For example, when placing the wedge component onto the support frame 10, one support portion can be first made to abut against one surface of the wedge component, and then the angle of the other support plate 11 can be adjusted so that it abuts against the other adjacent surface of the wedge component. In this way, the two support plates 11 abut against the two adjacent surfaces of the wedge component respectively, thus clamping and supporting the wedge component.

[0027] As can be seen, the positioning and storage device for the wedge component provided in this application forms a V-shaped support groove through two vertically or inclined support plates 11. Simultaneously, at least one support plate 11 is rotatably mounted to adjust its support angle, allowing the included angle between the two support plates 11 to adapt to the angles of various specifications of wedge components. The two support plates 11 can respectively conform to the two adjacent surfaces of the wedge component with an angular relationship, thereby forming a clamping triangular support for the wedge component, providing stable support. In other words, this positioning and storage device can provide clamping triangular support for wedge components with different inclination angles, offering high applicability, convenient operation, stable support, and facilitating maintenance and drilling operations.

[0028] Furthermore, both opposing support plates 11 are rotatably connected to the base 20. Two angle adjustment mechanisms are provided, adjusting the support angle of either support plate 11 one-to-one. This not only provides stable support for various sizes of wedge components, but also allows adjustment of the wedge component's storage angle through the rotation of the two support plates 11. This enables convenient and precise horizontal placement of the plane adjacent to the wedge-shaped surface on the wedge component, improving the horizontality of the plane or the wedge component. This, in turn, improves the verticality and accuracy of drilling, preventing angular deviations in the punch or other components installed within the hole.

[0029] As can be seen, when both support plates 11 of the support frame 10 can be adjusted in angle, the positioning and storage device can not only provide stable support and positioning for various wedge components of different specifications, but also conveniently adjust the fixed angle of each wedge component. Furthermore, it is convenient to ensure the flatness of the mounting surface of the wedge component that needs to be drilled, thereby simplifying the drilling operation and ensuring the verticality of the drilling.

[0030] One end of the support plate 11 is rotatably connected to the base 20; the angle adjustment mechanism includes a push block 32 and a pushing assembly that drives the push block 32 to linear displacement. The push block 32 is used to support and push the support plate 11 from below. By moving the push block 32 closer to or further away from the rotating end of the support plate 11, the tilt angle of the support plate 11 on the base 20 is adjusted, which is also the support angle of the support plate 11 supporting the wedge component.

[0031] Specifically, the base 20 may include a strip-shaped base body 21, on which two sets of upright plates 22 are spaced apart along the length direction, one set corresponding to one support plate 11. Each set includes two upright plates 22 spaced apart and opposite to each other along the width direction of the base 20. The end of the support plate 11 is sleeved on a rotating shaft, which is rotatably inserted horizontally onto the two upright plates 22. In this way, the support plate 11 is rotatably connected to the base 20, and the rotating end is suspended, allowing for smooth rotation. The two upright plates 22 can be connected to both sides of the base body 21 in the width direction by welding or bolts.

[0032] Support ribs 24, distributed on both sides of the base body 21 in the width direction, can be provided at both ends of the base body 21 along its length. Each support rib 24 can be a U-shaped support rib consisting of a base plate and side ribs located on either side of the base plate. At the same end of the base body 21, two support ribs 24 are symmetrically distributed, and the ends of the base plate and the two side ribs of the support rib 24 are connected to the base body 21, providing stable lateral support and balance for the base 20, preventing the base 20 from tipping over and causing the wedge component to fall.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, the push block 32 is placed on the base 20, and the side of the push block 32 facing the support plate 11 has an arc-shaped surface 321. The arc-shaped surface 321 is the actual pushing surface of the support plate 11, and it abuts against the back side surface of the support plate 11. By setting the surface of the push block 32 that contacts the support plate 11 as an arc-shaped surface 321, the contact area with the support plate 11 can be increased when the support plate 11 adjusts its support angle, thus enhancing the stability of the support. In other words, by setting the pushing surface of the push block 32 as an arc-shaped surface 321, it can be ensured that the arc-shaped surface 321 has a surface contact area with the support plate 11 at multiple tilt angles, thus providing stable support for the support plate 11. If the actual pushing surface is an inclined plane (an inclined plane, such as a wedge-shaped surface), the inclined plane can only fully fit with the support plate 11 when the inclination angle of the support plate 11 is the same as the inclination angle of the inclined plane. Once the inclination angle of the support plate 11 changes, the contact between the inclined plane and the support plate 11 will become a line contact, and the contact area will be significantly reduced.

[0034] The pushing component includes a push rod 31 connected to the push block 32. The base 20 is provided with a guide groove or guide hole that limits the movement direction of the push rod 31. The push rod 31 passes into the guide groove or guide hole to avoid deviation in the movement direction.

[0035] In some embodiments, the push rod 31 is threadedly connected to the base 20, and the threaded hole on the base 20 forms a guide hole. One end of the push rod 31 is rotatably connected to the push block 32 and is provided with two stops. The two stops abut against the opposite sides of the push block 32 to push the push block 32 forward or pull the push block 32 backward. With this configuration, the angle of the support plate 11 can be adjusted by rotating the push rod 31, and the thread has a self-locking function. After the angle is adjusted, stopping the screwing of the push rod 31 can securely lock the push block 32 and the support plate 11 in that position, enhancing the stability of the support.

[0036] Specifically, the base 20 is also provided with a lifting block 23 protruding from the base body 21; the push rod 31 passes through the lifting block 23 and is suspended above the base body 21. The push rod 31 and the lifting block 23 are threaded together. With this arrangement, the push rod 31 can be connected to the height center of the push block 32, improving the stability of pushing the push block 32; it also facilitates the screwing operation of the push rod 31.

[0037] The end of the push rod 31 furthest from the push block 32 may be provided with a screw handle 313 to enhance the convenience of screwing the push rod 31. Of course, the other end of the push rod 31 may also be connected to a power component, such as a motor, to drive the push rod 31 to rotate, thereby causing the push rod 31 to produce linear displacement and move the push block 32.

[0038] In some embodiments, the push rod 31 may be directly slidably connected to the base 20, and the base 20 may also be provided with a locking structure for the locking support plate 11. For example, the base 20 may be provided with a set screw for pressing the push rod 31 radially from one side of the push rod 31, or the base 20 may be provided with a pin for inserting into the push rod 31 from one side of the push rod 31, and the push rod 31 may have a plurality of positioning holes arranged axially for the pin to be inserted. Alternatively, when the push rod 31 is directly slidably connected to the base 20, the other end of the push rod 31 may be provided with a power component such as a motor to drive the linear displacement of the push rod 31; in this way, the push rod 31 and the push block 32 may also be locked by the self-locking function of the power component.

[0039] The connection between the push rod 31 and the push block 32 can also be a threaded connection. For example, the push block 32 is also provided with a threaded hole for the push rod 31 to be inserted, and the push rod 31 is provided with an external thread.

[0040] Or, such as Figure 5 As shown, the push block 32 has an inner cavity and can be hollow. For example, the push block 32 is a block-shaped body with a hollow inner cavity formed by multiple plates. This does not affect the supporting capacity of the push block 32, but also reduces its weight and improves the ease of moving the push block 32 by rotating the push rod 31. The side plate of the push block 32 near the push rod 31 has an opening connected to the inner cavity. The end of the push rod 31 connected to the push block 32 has two stops. The first stop 311 extends into the inner cavity and abuts against the inner wall of the side plate, while the second stop 312 abuts against the outer wall of the side plate on the outside of the push block 32. In other words, the two stops clamp the side plate. This achieves the connection between the push rod 31 and the push block 32, allowing the push rod 31 to rotate relative to the push block 32 and also to push and pull the push block 32 linearly.

[0041] The two stops can be either strip blocks fixed to the push rod 31 or rings fitted onto the push rod 31.

[0042] In some embodiments, to quickly check the angle of the support plate 11 or to quickly determine whether the wedge component is horizontal, an angle scale is also provided on the base 20. The angle scale is located on one side of the support plate 11 and is set at the rotating end of the support plate 11. The 0 point of the angle scale is aligned with the rotation center line of the support plate 11. In this way, the support angle of the support plate 11 can be intuitively and quickly determined. By using the known inclination angle of the wedge surface on the wedge component for matching calculations, it can be determined whether the plane adjacent to the wedge surface on the wedge component for drilling is in a highly accurate horizontal state, which facilitates a quick leveling operation of the wedge component when drilling is required.
