Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool cart technology, and in particular to a tool cart tray placement fixture. Background Technology

[0002] The automated packaging equipment for milling cutters constructs a complete tool protection system through the coordinated design of the milling cutter storage box and its lid. The milling cutter storage box is injection molded from high-strength engineering plastics such as POM or PA66, with an internal honeycomb-shaped cushioning structure. Each unit can precisely position a single milling cutter, ensuring a tool spacing of ≥3mm during transportation and preventing edge collisions. The lid is sealed to the milling cutter storage box via snap-fit ​​or screw connection, forming a sealed space with a dustproof rating of IP54. The sidewall thickness of the milling cutter storage box is ≥2.5mm, with embedded EVA shock-absorbing pads that can absorb more than 80% of the vibration energy during transportation. The edges of the milling cutter storage box are equipped with angled guide grooves to match the gripping mechanism of the automated production line's robotic arm, achieving a positioning accuracy of ±0.1mm and eliminating packing misalignment caused by manual intervention. The lid contains a built-in desiccant compartment, which, together with a breathable membrane, achieves humidity control, making it particularly suitable for the long-term storage of cobalt-based alloy milling cutters.

[0003] In the automated packaging process of milling cutters, a tool cart tray placement fixture is required to place milling cutter storage boxes in batches. Existing tool cart tray placement fixtures have shortcomings in feeding the milling cutter storage boxes; they cannot automatically push the storage boxes to the loading station where they will be picked up by the robotic arm gripper, nor can they automatically release the seal on the opening of the storage box after it arrives at the loading station.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the existing tool cart tray placement fixture to better meet the loading requirements of the milling cutter storage box. Summary of the Invention
