[0035] This utility model provides a material tray clamping carrier 100, which is suitable for loading material trays. The material tray includes a material shaft and two material plates disposed at both ends of the material shaft along its axial direction. The material strip is wound around the material shaft and clamped by the two material plates. When in use, one end of the material strip can be unwound from the material tray. By applying tension, the material strip can be continuously rolled out of the material tray for loading operations. When the material strip is not in use or is being transferred, it is necessary to ensure that the material strip is stable on the material tray and does not get caught in or rolled out during the transfer of the material tray.
[0036] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the material tray clamping carrier 100 includes a loading seat 1 and a material strip limiting structure 2. The loading seat 1 forms an arc-shaped loading groove and a baffle 14 disposed in the loading groove. The baffle 14 extends along the length direction of the loading groove. The loading groove has two groove sidewalls located on both sides of the baffle 14, wherein at least one of the groove sidewalls is detachable, and one of the groove sidewalls and the baffle 14 are clamped together on both sides of a material plate of the material tray. The material strip limiting structure 2 is disposed at one end of the length direction of the loading groove. A guiding area is formed on the material strip limiting structure 2. The material strip limiting structure 2 includes a positioning structure 22 and a pressing structure 23 disposed corresponding to the guiding area. The positioning structure 22 is used to restrict the movement of the material strip that wraps out of the material tray, and the pressing structure 23 is used to flatten the material strip in the guiding area.
[0037] In this embodiment, the loading groove can accommodate a material tray, and the groove sidewall and the baffle 14 together clamp the material plate on both sides of the tray, thereby limiting the material plate in the axial direction and thus limiting the entire tray. Furthermore, the arc-shaped loading groove can accommodate trays of various sizes, and the circumferential limiting effect of the arc-shaped loading groove prevents the tray from rolling out of the loading groove, making the tray clamping carrier 100 suitable for loading various trays. Moreover, the positioning structure 22 of the material strip limiting structure 2 can position the stamp holes on the material strip to prevent slippage. The pressing structure 23 can press the portion of the material strip that has wrapped around into the guiding area, thereby preventing the material strip from warping and keeping it flat, facilitating loading and improving work efficiency.
[0038] Among them, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the loading seat 1 includes a base 11 and detachable first loading sidewalls 12 and second loading sidewalls 13 disposed on both sides of the base 11. A first arcuate surface 111 is formed on the base 11, which is recessed downwards. The first loading sidewalls 12 and the second loading sidewalls 13 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first arcuate surface 111 in the width direction and together with the first arcuate surface 111, they enclose the loading groove. The baffle rib 14 is disposed on the first arcuate surface 111. The bottom surface of the base 11 is planar, and the first arcuate surface 111 is formed on the top surface of the base 11. It should be noted that when the tray clamping carrier 100 is in normal use, the bottom surface of the base 11 is facing downwards for placement on the ground or other support platform. The loading groove is axially oriented horizontally and is semi-circular. Extension arms extending vertically can be provided at both ends of the groove opening. These extension arms increase the height of the loading groove, thus preventing the tray from easily rolling out when placed inside. Furthermore, both the first loading sidewall 12 and the second loading sidewall 13 are detachable, making them easier to replace and maintain, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0039] Furthermore, a plurality of cylindrical pins 15 are provided on the loading seat 1. The plurality of cylindrical pins 15 are spaced apart on the first arc-shaped surface 111 along the length direction of the loading groove. The axial direction of each cylindrical pin 15 extends along the width direction of the loading groove. The plurality of cylindrical pins 15 reduces the friction between the material tray and the material tray when the material tray is placed in the loading groove, thereby making the rotation of the material tray smoother when the material strip is wound out.
[0040] The first loading sidewall 12 is also provided with multiple through holes; the second loading sidewall 13 has a hollow area that matches the baffle rib 14. On the one hand, this makes the first loading sidewall 12 and the second loading sidewall 13 lighter, and on the other hand, it also facilitates the corresponding detection device to detect the material tray (e.g., scan the material tray).
[0041] Since multiple tray clamping carriers 100 are typically placed within a loading frame during use, a structure that mates with the loading frame is provided on the side of each tray clamping carrier 100 to ensure more stable placement. Specifically, in conjunction with... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the tray clamping carrier 100 also includes two insertion blocks 3, which are detachably disposed at both ends of the loading groove along its length. Each insertion block 3 has an insertion groove 31 extending vertically, and the bottom end of each insertion groove 31 gradually widens from top to bottom to form a guide opening. Each insertion groove 31 is adapted to be inserted into an insertion post on the side wall of the loading frame, thereby fixing the tray clamping carrier 100 within the loading frame. The guide opening at the lower end of the insertion groove 31 makes it easier for the tray clamping carrier 100 to be inserted. Moreover, since the side of the tray clamping carrier 100 is prone to rubbing against the side of the loading frame when it is inserted and removed from the loading frame, the two insertion blocks 3 are made detachable, making it easier to replace them after they wear out.
[0042] The material strip limiting structure 2 is mainly used to limit and flatten the wound material strip. Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the material belt limiting structure 2 includes a guide block 21 located at one end of the loading seat 1 along its length. The guide block 21 has a guide groove 211 with its opening facing upwards. The inner side of the guide groove 211 forms the guide area, and the bottom of the guide groove 211 forms the guide surface. The positioning structure 22 is located on one side of the guide groove 211 and is used to restrict the movement of the material belt. The pressing structure 23 is movably located at the opening of the guide groove 211 and is used to press against the material belt to ensure the flatness of the material belt.
[0043] Preferably, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a receiving cavity 212 is provided on the guide block 21, and a through hole communicating with the receiving cavity 212 is provided on the guide surface; the positioning structure 22 includes a positioning block 221 rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity 212, and an elastic member 224 abutting against the positioning block 221. A positioning protrusion 222 is provided on one side of the positioning block 221. The positioning block 221 rotates relative to the receiving cavity 212, so that the positioning protrusion 222 has a positioning state extending out of the through hole and a contracted state retracted into the through hole. When the positioning protrusion 222 extends out of the through hole to extend out of the guide surface, the positioning protrusion 222 can be inserted into the stamp hole on the material strip, thereby preventing the material strip from moving along its length direction and better realizing the positioning of the material strip. When the material strip is being fed, the positioning protrusion 222 can be subjected to external force to retract into the through hole. Simultaneously, the rotation of the positioning block 221 presses against the elastic element 224, causing the elastic element 224 to be in an elastic energy storage state. When the external force on the positioning protrusion 222 is removed, and under the elastic action of the elastic element 224, the positioning block 221 can automatically switch from the retracted state and remain in the positioning state, allowing the positioning protrusion 222 to return to its position extending beyond the guide surface, thus limiting the material strip. The elastic element 224 can be configured as a torsion spring or a telescopic spring, etc.
[0044] Furthermore, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting arm 213 is also provided in the accommodating cavity 212; the positioning block 221 has a rotating part and a limiting protrusion 223 provided on one side of the rotating part, the positioning protrusion 222 is provided on one radial side of the rotating part, the elastic member 224 and the positioning protrusion 222 are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the rotating part, when in the positioning state, the limiting protrusion 223 abuts against the limiting arm 213 to restrict the positioning block 221 from continuing to rotate in the direction from the contracted state to the positioning state switching. For example, when the positioning protrusion 222 is subjected to an external force, the positioning block 221 can rotate counterclockwise, allowing the positioning protrusion 222 to retract into the through hole; and when the external force on the positioning protrusion 222 is removed, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 224, the positioning block 221 can be driven to rotate clockwise in the opposite direction, thereby causing the positioning protrusion 222 to extend out of the through hole, and when the positioning protrusion 222 extends into place, the limiting protrusion 223 just abuts against the limiting arm 213, thereby preventing the positioning block 221 from rotating too much.
[0045] The pressing structure 23 includes a pressing plate 231, which is generally flat. One side of the pressing plate 231 is rotatably connected to the guide block 21. A rotating hole is provided on the pressing plate 231. A rotating shaft protrudes from the periphery of the opening of the guide groove 211. The rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the rotating hole, thereby allowing the pressing plate 231 to be rotatably connected to the guide groove 211. By rotating the pressing plate 231, the other side of the pressing plate 231 can move closer to or further away from the through hole, thus being in a state of pressing the material strip or moving away from the material strip. Furthermore, the pressing plate 231 is provided with a relief groove 232 at the corresponding through hole. When the pressing plate 231 is pressed onto the material strip, the positioning protrusion 222 is also extended out of the guide surface. The relief groove 232 allows the positioning protrusion 222 to extend into the relief groove 232 when the pressing plate 231 is pressed onto the guide groove 211 without causing interference.
[0046] Furthermore, a first magnetic attraction part is provided on one of the pressing plate 231 and the guide block 21, and a second magnetic attraction part is provided on the other. The first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part are magnetically attracted to each other, so that at least a part of the pressing plate 231 is set to fit against the guide surface, and can provide a certain pressing force on the material strip to ensure better flatness of the material strip. Moreover, when disassembling the material tray, the pressing plate 231 can be opened directly when the material strip is pulled out from the guide groove 211, making the picking and putting of the material tray more convenient.
[0047] This utility model also provides a tray loading device, including a loading frame and a plurality of the above-mentioned tray clamping carriers 100. The plurality of tray clamping carriers 100 are arranged side by side in the loading frame along the width direction of their loading slots, making it more convenient to transfer and store the plurality of tray clamping carriers 100.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
