Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning fixture technology, and in particular to a positioning fixture for die-cutting paper cups and bowls. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial production of paper containers such as paper cups and bowls, the die-cutting process is a key step that determines the quality of the product. Its core requirement is to accurately fix the paper blank with positioning fixtures to ensure that the die-cutting cutter can complete the cutting process according to the preset trajectory. However, existing positioning fixtures have the following technical defects in practical applications: First, the positioning accuracy is insufficient, which easily leads to die-cutting misalignment and poor fixture compatibility, resulting in low changeover efficiency. Traditional fixtures mostly adopt mechanical rigid positioning structures, and their horizontal reference relies on manual calibration and mechanical installation accuracy, making it difficult to eliminate accumulated errors. During long-term use, due to factors such as equipment vibration and component wear, the horizontal deviation between the fixture and the die-cutting device will gradually increase, causing the die-cutting position of the paper blank to shift, resulting in problems such as skewed cuts and out-of-tolerance dimensions. The misalignment phenomenon is more prominent for paper cups and bowls with varying tapers. The clamping mechanism of the fixture is mostly designed with a fixed size, and the corresponding positioning module needs to be replaced for paper cups and bowls with different diameters and tapers. The replacement process requires not only machine shutdown but also manual recalibration, which severely restricts the rapid changeover requirements of flexible production lines. Secondly, the automation level is low, relying on manual intervention and insufficient clamping stability, which can easily lead to workpiece damage. Traditional fixtures have a single clamping method, relying on rigid mechanical clamping, which can easily cause deformation of thin paper blanks due to excessive clamping force. Under the impact and vibration of high-speed die cutting, the workpiece is prone to micro-displacement. In addition, some fixtures do not have effective anti-vibration structures. Vibration caused by the impact force of the tool during processing can cause the positioning reference to drift, further exacerbating the decline in die cutting accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a pneumatic component is provided on one outer wall of the clamping member.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a structured design. Through an innovative design combining an infrared-sensing pneumatic adaptive horizontal leveling system, a pneumatic integrated elastic composite clamping mechanism, and negative pressure adsorption for coordinated positioning, the device achieves multi-dimensional performance improvements. Regarding positioning accuracy, the infrared-sensing-based pneumatic adaptive horizontal leveling system plays a crucial role. This system effectively eliminates the die-cutting misalignment problem caused by accumulated mechanical installation errors in traditional fixtures through real-time detection and micron-level lifting compensation. Simultaneously, the synergy between the pneumatic integrated elastic composite clamping mechanism and negative pressure adsorption ensures a repeatability accuracy of ±0.05mm for the die-cutting position. The combination of these two mechanisms, along with the pneumatic locking mechanism, ensures high leveling accuracy. The automatic locking after cutting avoids positional drift caused by processing vibration, significantly improving the accuracy of die cutting. In terms of production efficiency, the fully automatic infrared sensor leveling system requires no manual intervention, reducing equipment debugging time and greatly improving the production line changeover efficiency. The pneumatic integrated elastic composite clamping mechanism can be compatible with various specifications of workpieces without changing modules, further shortening the changeover time and enabling the equipment to adapt to high-speed continuous die cutting conditions. The production cycle of a single process is effectively shortened. The fixture can also achieve zero-damage flexible positioning. The elastic constraint force and negative pressure adsorption work together to avoid deformation of thin-walled workpieces. At the same time, the adsorption force increases the fit of the bottom surface of the workpiece, effectively suppressing displacement caused by die cutting impact, greatly reducing the scrap rate and improving product quality.

A cavity 7 is opened on the upper surface of the fixed platform 1, and a second threaded hole 8 is opened on the upper surface of the fixed platform 1. The cylinder 9 is clamped inside the cavity 7, and a screw 10 is provided on the cylinder 9, with the screw 10 threaded into the second threaded hole 8. A telescopic rod 11 is installed inside the cylinder 9. A third threaded hole 12 is opened on the telescopic rod 11, and a short bolt 13 is threaded into the third threaded hole 12. A lifting platform 14 is installed on the cylinder 9. A fourth threaded hole 15 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the lifting platform 14, and a short bolt 13 is threaded into the fourth threaded hole 15. An infrared detector 16 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the lifting platform 14. A connection hole 17 and an air inlet 18 are opened inside the lifting platform 14. An adsorption cover 19 is installed on the bottom outer surface of the lifting platform 14. A first suction pipe 20 and a second suction pipe 21 are respectively installed on both sides of the adsorption cover 19. One end of the first suction pipe 20 and the second suction pipe 21 are sleeved in the air inlet 18, and an adsorption hose 22 is sleeved at the end of the second suction pipe 21. A stabilizing platform 23 is provided inside the connecting hole 17. The stabilizing platform 23 has an adsorption hole 24 and a slot 25. A clamping member 26 is provided on the upper surface of the stabilizing platform 23. A guide rod 28 is provided at the bottom of the clamping member 26 and is engaged in the slot 25. A telescopic tube 29 is provided at one end of the guide rod 28. A spring 31 is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic tube 29. A storage tube 30 is sleeved at one end of the telescopic tube 29. A pneumatic component 27 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the clamping member 26. For horizontal leveling, when the fixture is started, the infrared detector 16 integrated at the fixture end immediately begins to work, detecting the relative position of the fixture end and the die-cutting device in real time. The infrared detector 16 transmits the detected position deviation signal to the control system. The control system adjusts the position deviation accordingly. The data-driven cylinder 9 performs lifting and lowering movements. During the workpiece positioning and clamping process, when the paper cup or bowl is placed in the positioning area of the fixture end, the system responds quickly. The pneumatic component 27 at the top moves under the command of the control system, applying a horizontal clamping force to the workpiece. At the same time, the spring 31 at the bottom is compressed, generating a reverse constraint force. These two forces work together to automatically adjust the clamping force according to the diameter and taper of the workpiece, achieving radial adaptive clamping of the paper cup or bowl. Almost simultaneously with the operation of the pneumatic integrated elastic composite clamping mechanism, the negative pressure adsorption system integrated into the fixture base also starts synchronously. The multi-channel adsorption hood 19 is connected to the high-response air pump 6 through the flexible adsorption hose 22. The air pump 6 works rapidly to generate negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure...The bottom surface of the paper cup or bowl is firmly adhered to the positioning surface at the end of the clamp. This negative pressure adhesion not only constrains the workpiece axially but also further enhances the stability of the workpiece during processing, effectively suppressing displacement that may be caused by die-cutting impact.
