Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel tape measure positioning and clamping technology, and in particular to a device for positioning a steel tape measure with a pneumatic sliding structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the hardware tool manufacturing industry, steel tape measures are commonly used measuring tools. During the production process, steel tape measures need to be stably fixed to ensure the accuracy of subsequent processing, testing and other procedures. At present, most of the fixing devices for steel tape measures in the industry are special clamps, but one clamp can only be used for one specification of steel tape measure.

[0003] In actual production scenarios, steel measuring tapes come in various specifications, such as length, width, and thickness. When switching to produce products of different specifications, operators must disassemble the original fixtures and replace them with new fixtures of the corresponding specifications. This process is not only time-consuming but also requires operators to possess certain professional skills to ensure the installation accuracy after the fixture replacement. Frequent fixture replacement operations directly increase production downtime and significantly reduce production efficiency. At the same time, the additional manual operation also increases labor costs. Furthermore, repeated disassembly and installation of fixtures can lead to wear and tear on the connecting parts of the device, affecting the overall stability and service life of the equipment, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern production lines for efficient and flexible production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to provide a device for positioning a steel tape measure with a pneumatic sliding structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for positioning a steel tape measure with a pneumatic sliding structure, comprising:

[0007] A pallet base plate, on which a first limiting block and a second limiting block are fixedly connected;

[0008] The rack and pinion are fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the pallet;

[0009] A slider is slidably connected to the bottom plate of the tray, and the slider is slidably connected to the rack; a clamping limit block is fixedly connected to the slider, and a clamping block is fixedly connected to the clamping limit block;

[0010] A sliding rod is slidably connected to a slider, and a positioning boss is connected to the sliding rod. When the sliding rod slides, the positioning boss engages with the rack.

[0011] Preferably, a first sheet metal baffle is fixedly connected to the slider, and a spring is fixedly connected to the first sheet metal baffle. The end of the spring away from the first sheet metal baffle is fixedly connected to the positioning boss.

[0012] Preferably, an elastic retaining ring is fixedly connected to the slider, and a plug is fixedly connected to the elastic retaining ring.

[0013] Furthermore, both the slide rod and the plug are connected with sealing rings.

[0014] Preferably, an air pipe elbow is fixedly connected to the slider, the air pipe elbow is connected to the slider, and when the air pipe elbow supplies air to the slider, the slide rod slides in the slider.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a device for positioning a steel tape measure with a pneumatic sliding structure, which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through its sliding clamping structure and rack and pinion mechanism, combined with replaceable left and right tooling plates, can adapt to the fixing needs of steel measuring tapes of different lengths and widths. There is no need to replace the entire fixture set; simply adjusting the position of the clamping blocks or replacing the appropriate tooling plates allows for switching between different product specifications. This effectively solves the problem of poor adaptability of traditional dedicated fixtures and significantly improves the flexibility of the production line.

[0017] 2. This utility model achieves rapid unlocking and locking of the clamping device by means of pneumatic control. The operator only needs to vent the air to disengage the positioning boss from the rack, push the slider to the appropriate position, and then cut off the air to complete the fixation. The entire adjustment process does not require complicated mechanical disassembly, which greatly shortens the preparation time for product replacement and improves the production efficiency per unit time.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] Reference Figures 1-2 A device for positioning a steel tape measure with a pneumatic sliding structure, comprising:

[0024] The pallet base plate 4 has a first limiting block 16 and a second limiting block 17 fixedly connected to it.

[0025] Rack 13 is fixedly connected to the pallet base plate 4;

[0026] The slider 5 is slidably connected to the bottom plate 4 of the tray, and the slider 5 is slidably connected to the rack 13; a clamping limit block 10 is fixedly connected to the slider 5, and a clamping block 11 is fixedly connected to the clamping limit block 10.

[0027] A first tooling plate 14 and a second tooling plate 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 4 of the pallet. The first tooling plate 14 and the second tooling plate 15 are used to hold the limiting steel tape measure.

[0028] A second sheet metal baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 10, which is used to limit the clamping block 11.

[0029] The slide rod 7 is slidably connected to the slider 5, and a positioning boss 9 is connected to the slide rod 7. When the slide rod 7 slides, the positioning boss 9 is engaged in the rack 13.

[0030] A first sheet metal baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the slider 5, and a spring 3 is fixedly connected to the first sheet metal baffle 8. The end of the spring 3 away from the first sheet metal baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the positioning boss 9.

[0031] An elastic retaining ring 18 is fixedly connected to the slider 5, and a plug 6 is fixedly connected to the elastic retaining ring 18.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-2 In use, the steel tape measure to be fixed is placed on the first tooling plate 14 and the second tooling plate 15, so that the two sides of the steel tape measure abut against the first limiting block 16 and the second limiting block 17 respectively, completing the initial limiting; air is introduced into the slider 5 through the air pipe elbow 1, the air pushes the slide rod 7 to slide in the slider 5, driving the positioning boss 9 to move, causing the compression spring 3 to be compressed. At this time, the positioning boss 9 disengages from the tooth groove of the rack 13, the slider 5 is unlocked, and can slide back and forth along the rack 13;

[0033] When the limit is applied, the staff manually pushes the slider 5 so that it slides along the rack 13, which drives the clamping limit block 10 and the clamping block 11 to move synchronously.

[0034] It should be noted that the relative position of the clamping block 11 and the steel tape measure should be observed until the clamping block 11 is in contact with the surface of the steel tape measure and the preset clamping force is reached.

[0035] It should also be noted that when the spring 3 pushes the positioning boss 9 to move and lock the rack 13, the gas on the right side of the slide rod 7 can be discharged in the opposite direction through the air pipe elbow 1.

[0036] After the steel tape measure is clamped, the air pipe elbow 1 stops supplying air, the air pressure inside the slider 5 disappears, and the compression spring 3 pushes the positioning boss 9 to move in the opposite direction through elastic reset, embedding it into the tooth groove of the rack 13, thereby achieving mechanical locking of the slider 5. At this time, the clamping block 11 maintains the clamping state on the steel tape measure, completing the process of fixing the steel tape measure.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 When it is necessary to remove the steel tape measure, air is circulated again through the air pipe elbow 1, and the steps are repeated to disengage the positioning boss 9 from the rack 13.

[0038] Then manually push slider 5 to move clamping block 11 away from the steel tape measure. After removing the product, turn off the air source. Slider 5 will automatically lock in the initial position, completing one operation cycle.

[0039] Both the slide rod 7 and the plug 6 are connected to sealing rings 2.

[0040] By using the sealing ring 2 on the slide rod 7 and the plug 6, the sealing of the slide rod 7 in the inner hole of the slider 5 can be guaranteed, thus ensuring that the slide rod 7 can slide stably.

[0041] An air pipe elbow 1 is fixedly connected to the slider 5. The air pipe elbow 1 is connected to the slider 5, and when the air pipe elbow 1 supplies air to the slider 5, the slide rod 7 slides in the slider 5.

[0042] The tracheal elbow 1 is used to connect to the external tracheal tube.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
