Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automobile production equipment technology, specifically relating to a material transfer device between floor levels in a pickup truck. Background Technology
[0002] Normally, welding production lines are laid out on a single plane for convenient logistics. However, in a pickup truck body-in-white welding project, the welding line for the pickup truck's middle floor required a separate assembly station due to space constraints. This assembly station has two stations: one on the first floor and one on the second floor. Materials need to be moved from the second floor to the first floor for additional welding at this assembly station, and then placed back into the material racks on the first floor after welding. Therefore, a device for transferring materials from the second-floor station to the first-floor station is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the urgent need in existing technologies for a device to transfer materials from a second-floor workstation to a first-floor workstation, a material transfer device between floor levels in a pickup truck is provided.
[0004] The material transfer device between floors in a pickup truck includes a frame, a lifting mechanism, a second-floor positioning mechanism, and a first-floor positioning mechanism; The frame has a first floor and a second floor, with an opening between the first floor and the second floor for the lifting mechanism to pass through; The lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame, a positioning clamp, and a lifting cylinder. The lifting frame is mounted on the frame via a linear guide mechanism. The positioning clamp is mounted on the lifting frame for positioning and fixing materials. The lifting cylinder is mounted on the frame, and its rod end is connected to the lifting frame. The second-floor positioning mechanism includes a fixed plate, a sliding plate, a second-floor positioning fixture, and a push cylinder. The fixed plate is installed on the second-floor floor, the sliding plate is installed on the fixed plate via a linear guide mechanism, the second-floor positioning fixture is installed on the sliding plate, and the push cylinder is installed on the fixed plate. The rod end of the push cylinder is connected to the sliding plate. The first-floor positioning mechanism is installed on the first-floor floor and is used to position and fix materials.
[0005] The aforementioned material transfer device between floor levels in the pickup truck includes two sets of positioning mechanisms for the second floor, arranged symmetrically front and back.
[0006] The aforementioned material transfer device between floors in the pickup truck has four positioning mechanisms symmetrically arranged on the first floor, one on the left and one on the right.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: to realize the accurate transfer of materials from the second floor to the first floor. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0009] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model, the technical solution adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.
[0010] like Figure 1 As shown, the material transfer device between floors in the pickup truck consists of a frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a second-floor positioning mechanism 3, and a first-floor positioning mechanism 4.
[0011] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a first floor 11 and a second floor 12, with an opening in the middle between the first floor 11 and the second floor 12 for the lifting mechanism 2 to pass through.
[0012] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a lifting frame 21, a positioning clamp 22, and a lifting cylinder 23. The lifting frame 21 is mounted on the frame 1 via a linear guide mechanism. The positioning clamp 22 is mounted on the lifting frame 21 for positioning and fixing materials. The lifting cylinder 23 is mounted on the frame 1, and its rod end is connected to the lifting frame 21.
[0013] like Figure 4 As shown, there are two sets of second-floor positioning mechanisms 3, symmetrically arranged front and back, including a fixed plate 31, a sliding plate 32, a second-floor positioning fixture 33, and a push cylinder 34. The fixed plate 31 is installed on the second-floor floor 12, the sliding plate 32 is installed on the fixed plate 31 through a linear guide mechanism, the second-floor positioning fixture 33 is installed on the sliding plate 32, and the push cylinder 34 is installed on the fixed plate 31. The rod end of the push cylinder 34 is connected to the sliding plate 32.
[0014] like Figure 2 As shown, four positioning mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on the first floor floor 11, left and right, front and back, for positioning and fixing materials.
[0015] Explanation of the working principle of transferring materials from the second floor to the first floor. For example... Figure 1As shown, after the material is processed at the workstation on the second-floor floor 12, it is positioned on the second-floor positioning mechanism 3. At this time, the lifting cylinder 34 extends, pushing the lifting frame 21 upwards. The positioning clamp 22 on the lifting frame 21 holds the material and continues to rise, causing the material to detach from the second-floor positioning mechanism 3. Then, the lifting cylinder 34 retracts, pulling back the second-floor positioning clamp 33, allowing space for the material to descend. Next, the lifting cylinder 23 retracts, moving the lifting frame 21 along with the material downwards until the material falls onto the first-floor positioning mechanism 4. It then continues to move downwards until the positioning clamp 22 detaches from the material and stops. This completes the transfer of material from the second floor to the first floor. The material processing continues at the workstation on the first-floor floor 11.
[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
