Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ton barrel metal frame technology, and more specifically, it relates to a multi-station turntable tooling for quickly assembling ton barrel metal frames. Background Technology

[0002] A tonne container metal frame is an external structure used to support and protect large plastic containers. It is usually made of carbon steel, stainless steel or galvanized steel and has corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of ton container metal frames, the tubular structure of the metal frame can be mainly divided into two categories according to different design requirements and actual application scenarios: round tube frames and square tube frames. Round tube frames have advantages in some occasions where they need to withstand multi-directional pressure and have certain requirements for space utilization, while square tube frames exhibit higher structural stability and rigidity due to their square shape.

[0004] However, in the existing assembly process, due to the wide variety of pipe types and specifications, it is usually necessary to manually identify the type and specifications of the pipes. This method is not only inefficient, but also easily affected by human factors. Once an error occurs, it may lead to assembly failure, requiring disassembly and reassembly with the correct pipes; or it may damage the pipes and cause material waste.

[0005] To address these issues, a multi-station turntable fixture for rapid assembly of tonne container metal frames is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a support is evenly arranged below the multi-station turntable, and a roller is rotatably connected inside the support, the roller being able to fit against the bottom of the multi-station turntable.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the detection mechanism includes a support plate, a fixed ring disposed on the top of the support plate, a variable element evenly disposed on one side of the fixed ring, a movable ring disposed on the side of the variable element away from the fixed ring, and an adjusting cylinder disposed at one end of the fixed ring.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a fixing groove is provided on the side wall of the fixing ring near the changing component, and the fixing groove is distributed in a circumferential manner.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: movable grooves are evenly provided on the side wall of the movable ring, the movable grooves are arc-shaped and distributed in a circumferential manner, the movable grooves are opposite to the fixed grooves, and the output end of the adjusting cylinder is hinged to one side of the movable ring.

[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: Example 1, see Figures 1-5 A multi-station turntable fixture for rapid assembly of ton barrel metal frames includes a workbench 1, a rotary motor 2 is provided on the top of the workbench 1, a multi-station turntable 3 is provided at the output end of the rotary motor 2, and clamping components 4 are evenly provided on the top of the multi-station turntable 3; the clamping components 4 include a clamping cylinder 41 and a clamping plate 42 rotatably connected to the clamping end of the clamping cylinder 41. The top of the workbench 1 is also symmetrically provided with horizontal electric linear slide rails 5, and electric sliders 51 are slidably connected on the horizontal electric linear slide rails 5. The top of the electric sliders 51 is provided with lifting cylinders 52, and the top of the lifting cylinders 52 is provided with detection mechanisms 6.

[0019] The operator can clamp the round or square tube using the clamping device 4. Specifically, the clamping cylinder 41 is activated, which drives the clamping plates 42 at both ends to rotate, thereby allowing the two clamping plates 42 to clamp the outer wall of the round or square tube.

[0020] Subsequently, the rotary motor 2 starts, driving the multi-station turntable 3 to rotate, thereby allowing the round or square tube to be inspected to rotate to the middle of the two inspection mechanisms 6. Then, the electric slider 51 starts and slides along the horizontal electric linear slide rail 5, driving the corresponding inspection mechanism 6 to approach the two ends of the round or square tube respectively, and fitting it onto the outer wall of the corresponding ends. This allows the inspection mechanism 6 to both mechanically inspect the cross-section of the pipe and identify the pipe specifications, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0021] When the lifting cylinder 52 is activated, it can push the corresponding detection mechanism 6 to rise and fall, aligning it with the height of the pipeline.

[0022] See Figures 1-2 Furthermore, a support 31 is evenly arranged below the multi-station turntable 3, and a roller 32 is rotatably connected inside the support 31. The roller 32 can fit against the bottom of the multi-station turntable 3.

[0023] During the rotation of the multi-station turntable 3, the roller 32 will also rotate within the bracket 31, thereby reducing friction and providing support for the multi-station turntable 3.

[0024] See Figures 3-5 Furthermore, the testing mechanism 6 includes a support plate 61, a fixed ring 62 disposed on the top of the support plate 61, a variable element 63 evenly disposed on one side of the fixed ring 62, a movable ring 64 disposed on the side of the variable element 63 away from the fixed ring 62, and an adjusting cylinder 65 disposed at one end of the fixed ring 62.

[0025] A fixing groove 621 is provided on the side wall of the fixing ring 62 near the changing part 63, and the fixing groove 621 is distributed in a circumferential manner.

[0026] Movable grooves 641 are evenly provided on the side wall of the movable ring 64. The movable grooves 641 are arc-shaped and distributed in a ring. The movable grooves 641 are arranged in the opposite ring to the fixed grooves 621. The output end of the adjusting cylinder 65 is hinged to one side of the movable ring 64.

[0027] See Figures 3-5 Furthermore, the variable component 63 includes a variable plate 631, an insert 632 disposed on the side wall of the variable plate 631, and a movable pin 633 disposed on the side wall of the variable plate 631 away from the insert 632; the variable plate 631 is triangular, the insert 632 can be slidably inserted into the corresponding fixed groove 621, and the movable pin 633 can be slidably inserted into the corresponding movable groove 641; a laser range sensor 634 is also disposed at one end of the variable plate 631.

[0028] When the regulating cylinder 65 is activated, its telescopic end pushes the movable ring 64 to rotate, which causes the movable ring 64 to move the corresponding movable pin 633 through the movable groove 641. In turn, the movable pin 633 can slide in the corresponding movable groove 641 through the changing plate 631. Since the fixed groove 621 is distributed in a ring, the changing plates 631 slide against each other, which changes the contact area and angle between the changing plates 631. This allows the diameter of the space formed between the changing plates 631 to increase or decrease, thus ensuring a tight fit against the outer wall of the pipe.

[0029] When the shapes of square tubes and round tubes are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, or when manual labor is extremely fatigued, the above inspection method can be used. If the tube is round, the space formed between the two plates 631 can tightly fit the outer wall of the round tube. If the tube is square, four gaps will appear in the space formed, thus ensuring assembly efficiency.

[0030] The laser rangefinder sensor 634 is used to identify the diameter of a pipe, thereby identifying the pipe's size and specifications. Its principle is to measure the inner / outer diameter of the pipe through laser triangulation or time-of-flight method.

[0031] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
