Technical Field
[0001] This utility model applies to the field of operating table equipment and provides a workpiece lifting and distributing operating table. Background Technology
[0002] In electronic component manufacturing plants, assembly workstations on the production line are crucial work platforms for workers to perform various production operations such as assembly, testing, and debugging. Assembly workstations are typically equipped with various tools, equipment, and material storage areas. Workers perform component assembly, soldering, testing, and other process operations according to production task requirements. The design of these workstations needs to ensure worker comfort while providing sufficient space and tool storage to improve production efficiency and ensure product quality.
[0003] However, in modern assembly line production, especially when handling heavy workpieces, workers need to expend more physical strength. The existing workpiece conveying method of the assembly line is usually continuous, that is, the workpieces are automatically conveyed to each workstation in sequence, and workers need to place the workpieces one by one on the operating table and process them one by one. In this process, workers will have great inconvenience in picking up, moving and processing the workpieces, thus affecting work efficiency.
[0004] Currently, although robotic arms can be used to transport workpieces, this method not only requires high equipment costs, but also the mainstream robotic arms cannot be well adapted to the handling of relatively heavy workpieces. Therefore, a simple and efficient solution is needed to transport workpieces of a certain weight from the assembly line to the operating table. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, the present invention aims to provide a workpiece lifting and distribution operating platform to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The device includes a frame and a movable fixture. A front table and a rear table are installed on the top of the frame, with a gap between the front table and the rear table. A universal ball bearing module located at the bottom of the gap and a lifting device capable of lifting are installed on the frame. A locking mechanism is installed on both the front table and the rear table.
[0006] The lifting device can lift the movable fixture located on top of the universal ball bearing module to the corresponding positions of the front and rear tabletops, and the locking mechanism can fix the movable fixture between the front and rear tabletops.
[0007] Furthermore, the lifting device includes a lifting device for vertical lifting and lowering, and a conveyor belt device fixedly connected to the top output end of the lifting device.
[0008] Furthermore, the side of the movable tooling is provided with a slot, and the locking mechanism is located at the corresponding positions of the front and rear tabletops and the slot.
[0009] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes receiving grooves provided on the front and rear tabletops, with an opening on the side of the receiving groove near the moving fixture, a sliding groove penetrating the tabletop at the top of the receiving groove, a slider slidably disposed inside the receiving groove, and an operating handle passing through the sliding groove fixedly connected to the top of the slider.
[0010] Furthermore, the main body of the universal ball bearing module includes a metal frame, and the top of the metal frame is uniformly arranged with rolling balls.
[0011] Furthermore, limit plates are installed at the bottom of the front and rear tabletops, and the limit plates are located on both sides along the running direction of the moving tool.
[0012] Furthermore, a work frame is fixedly connected to the top of the frame, and a vertically arranged perforated plate is installed on the work frame.
[0013] Furthermore, a display screen is mounted on the perforated plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a tri-proof light is installed on the top of the work rack.
[0015] Therefore, this utility model can achieve automatic lifting, distribution and fixing of workpieces through the coordinated operation of universal ball bearing module, lifting device and locking mechanism, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of workpiece processing, reduces the labor intensity of manual operation, and at the same time ensures the stability and accuracy of workpieces during processing.

[0024] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0026] See Figure 1-5The purpose of this utility model is to provide a workpiece lifting and distributing operating platform, including a frame 1 and a movable fixture 4. The movable fixture 4 is a supporting structure for the operating platform, which can support the workpiece 40 to be processed. The frame 1 is an aluminum alloy frame structure, and a table for the user to process parts is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. The table includes a front table 31 and a rear table 32, with a gap between the front table 31 and the rear table 32. A universal ball bearing module 11 located at the bottom of the table and a lifting device 21 that can be raised and lowered are fixedly connected to the frame 1.
[0027] Specifically, the main body of the omnidirectional ball bearing module 11 includes a metal frame structure. Rolling balls are evenly arranged on the top of the metal frame, and the ball bearings have smooth surfaces that allow them to rotate freely in all directions. The omnidirectional ball bearing module 11 is located at the corresponding position in the gap between the front table 31 and the rear table 32, and its position is within the travel range of the lifting device 21. That is, when the lifting device 21 is at the lower part of its lifting travel, the omnidirectional ball bearing module 11 is located at the top or parallel position of the lifting device 21; when the lifting device 21 is at the higher part of its lifting travel, the omnidirectional ball bearing module 11 is located at the bottom position of the lifting device 21.
[0028] Meanwhile, the lifting device 21 can transport the movable tool 4 upward to the corresponding positions of the front table 31 and the rear table 32. The front table 31 and the rear table 32 are fixedly connected with locking mechanisms 5 that cooperate with the movable tool 4. The locking mechanisms 5 can fix the movable tool 4 on the same plane of the front table 31 and the rear table 32. In other words, the lifting device 21 can lift the movable tool 4 located on top of the universal ball bearing module 11 upward to the corresponding positions of the front table 31 and the rear table 32, and then the locking mechanisms 5 can fix the movable tool 4 between the front table 31 and the rear table 32.
[0029] Therefore, in practical use, the universal ball bearing module 11 is used in conjunction with the conveyor belt device on the assembly line. During on-site assembly, the universal ball bearing module 11 is positioned between two conveyor belt devices on the factory assembly line. The workpiece 40, transported by the conveyor belt device, can be pushed onto the universal ball bearing module 11 of this device. When the workpiece 40 is transported to the top of the universal ball bearing module 11, the multi-directional rotational characteristics of the balls allow the moving fixture 4 to slide easily relative to the balls. That is, the moving fixture 4 can slide to the designated position on the top of the universal ball bearing module 11 under the push of the conveyor belt (or under the pushing action of the moving fixture 4 behind it).
[0030] Example 1
[0031] In one embodiment, the movable fixture 4 is driven by the frictional force at the top of the conveyor belt, moving to the top of the universal ball bearing module 11, and then manually pushed to the designated position. Upon reaching the designated position, the lifting device 21 raises the movable fixture 4 to the same plane as the front table 31 and the rear table 32. The worker then secures the movable fixture 4 using the locking mechanism 5, and then the lifting device 21 lowers. After the worker completes their operation on the workpiece 40, the lifting device 21 rises again. After the worker releases the locking mechanism 5, the lifting device 21 lowers to place the movable fixture 4 back onto the universal ball bearing module 11, and then it is manually pushed into the next conveyor belt.
[0032] It is worth noting that the movement of the movable tool 4 onto the universal ball bearing module 11 is caused by the friction of the conveyor belt. The subsequent movement of the movable tool 4 to its designated position can be manually pushed by an operator or by an auxiliary pushing device. On the other hand, if too many movable tools 4 are supplied by the front-end logistics line, an automatic gear shifter outside this device can be used to control the number of movable tools 4 arriving. Since this solution aims to provide an operating platform capable of lifting and distributing, the above components will not be described in detail here.
[0033] While the simple transport of workpiece 40 can be easily handled by manual pushing, a more preferred embodiment is provided below to further improve efficiency and solve the problem of manual transport of workpiece 40:
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, the lifting device 21 includes a lifting device 2 for vertical lifting and lowering, and a conveyor belt device fixedly connected to the top output end of the lifting device 2. The principle of the conveyor belt device is the same as that of the common belt conveyors on the market, which are driven by a drive motor to drive the conveyor belt for cyclic transmission.
[0036] In summary, in this embodiment, after the moving fixture 4 moves onto the universal ball bearing module 11, the lifting device 21 slightly moves up a certain distance to contact the bottom of the moving fixture 4. At this time, the conveyor belt on the lifting device 21 can continue to drive the workpiece 40 to move. After moving to the position corresponding to the locking mechanism 5, it stops, and then the subsequent steps are completed in the same way as in Embodiment 1. Therefore, this embodiment can further optimize the transportation process of the workpiece 40, enabling the workpiece 40 to be automatically returned to and locked.
[0037] See appendix Figure 4Preferably, the movable tooling 4 has slots 41 on its side. Slots 41 are located on both sides of the movable tooling 4 near the front table 31 and the rear table 32. Both the front table 31 and the rear table 32 are equipped with locking mechanisms 5 corresponding to the slots 41. Each locking mechanism 5 includes a receiving groove 301 on the front table 31 and the rear table 32. The receiving groove 301 has an opening on its side near the movable tooling 4. The top of the receiving groove 301 has a sliding groove 302 that penetrates the table. A slider 51 is slidably disposed inside the receiving groove 301. An operating handle 52 passing through the sliding groove 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 51. The operator can insert the slider 51 into the slot 41 on the side of the movable tooling 4 using the operating handle 52, thereby achieving a fixed and limited position of the movable tooling 4.
[0038] Preferably, a limiting plate 12 for limiting the movement of the movable tool 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the table. The limiting plate 12 is located on both sides of the movable tool 4 along the direction of the production line, which can prevent the movable tool 4 from shifting when moving on the top of the universal ball bearing module 11.
[0039] Preferably, a work frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, and a vertically arranged perforated plate 61 is fixedly connected to the work frame 6. Various auxiliary devices for work are installed on the perforated plate 61. In this embodiment, the auxiliary devices include a display screen 62 and a socket 63. The display screen 62 provides intuitive operation guidance for the staff, and the socket 63 allows for convenient use of various electrical appliances. Staff can also flexibly select and install different auxiliary devices according to actual work needs, providing them with more convenient and efficient working conditions.
[0040] Preferably, a tri-proof lamp 64 is fixedly connected to the top of the work rack 6, and the tri-proof lamp 64 provides sufficient and stable lighting for the work area.
[0041] In summary, in practical use, the workpiece lifting and distribution operating table of this utility model can achieve efficient workpiece flow and auxiliary processing. When the conveyor belt of the factory production line transports the workpiece 40 to the position of the universal ball bearing module 11, the lifting device 21 rises slightly to contact the bottom of the moving fixture 4. At this time, the conveyor belt on the lifting device 21 continues to move the workpiece 40 to the position corresponding to the locking mechanism 5 and then stops. The operator inserts the slider 51 into the slot 41 on the side of the moving fixture 4 by operating the operating handle 52 of the locking mechanism 5, thus fixing and limiting the moving fixture 4. Then, the lifting device 21 descends, and the operator can perform processing operations on the workpiece 40 at the plane positions of the front table 31 and the rear table 32. After processing is completed, the lifting device 21 rises again, the operator releases the locking mechanism 5, and the lifting device 21 descends to the position corresponding to the next conveyor belt. The conveyor belt on the lifting device 21 continues to move the workpiece 40 to send the moving fixture 4 into the next conveyor belt, and so on in a cycle. While the worker is processing the workpiece 40, the conveyor belt device on the lifting device 21 at the bottom can also continue to participate in the transportation of the workpiece 40.
[0042] Therefore, through the coordinated operation of the universal ball bearing module 11, the lifting device 21, and the locking mechanism 5, the device can automatically lift, distribute, and fix the workpiece, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of workpiece processing, reducing the labor intensity of manual operation, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the workpiece during processing. Furthermore, the perforated plate 61 on the workbench 6 and its installed auxiliary devices, such as the display screen 62 and socket 63, provide workers with more convenient and efficient working conditions. The tri-proof lamp 64 also provides sufficient and stable lighting for the work area, ensuring the smooth progress of the work.
[0043] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
