Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of box furnace technology, specifically relating to a material positioning device for heat generation in a box furnace. Background Technology

[0002] A box furnace is an industrial heating device with a closed box structure. It typically consists of a furnace body, heating elements, a temperature control system, and a furnace door. It generates high temperatures within a closed space through the heating elements and precisely regulates the temperature inside the furnace with the help of the temperature control system. It is widely used in heat treatment processes such as annealing, quenching, and tempering of metal materials, as well as sintering, baking, or annealing of materials such as ceramics and glass. It can provide a stable and controllable high-temperature heating environment for various workpieces or materials, meeting the requirements of different processes for parameters such as temperature and holding time.

[0003] The existing box furnace thermoforming production line consists of a press, an automation system and a heating furnace. The current production process is as follows: mold setting → placing the material into the mold cavity for positioning → adjusting the feeding hand → adjusting the shuttle machine → adjusting the centering platform → unstacking and positioning the material.

[0004] However, this process requires step-by-step debugging in sequence, which has obvious limitations: automated debugging cannot be carried out simultaneously during the mold-building stage, resulting in the preparation time for a set of molds being the sum of the mold-building and automated debugging (about 3-4 hours). The preparation cycle is too long, which seriously restricts production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0020] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a material positioning device for heat generation in a box furnace, including a support rod 1, with support columns 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the support rod 1, and a positioning column 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 2. The positioning column 3 is an octagonal column, and a fixing component is provided inside the positioning column 3. A moving groove 4 is opened inside the support column 2, and a control component 6 is provided inside the moving groove 4. The fixing component includes a limiting slide groove 301 opened on the side surface of the positioning column 3, and a support plate 302 is rotatably connected inside the limiting slide groove 301. A second support plate is hinged to the lower end of the support plate 302. 303, the lower end of the support plate 303 is rotatably connected to a movable slider 304, the movable slider 304 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 301, the positioning column 3 has a movable groove 305 inside, the fixing assembly also includes a connecting block 306 slidably connected inside the movable groove 305; the side surface of the connecting block 306 is fixedly connected to the movable slider 304, the top of the connecting block 306 is fixedly connected to a cone 307, the outer side of the cone 307 is movably sleeved with a conical ring 308, the radius of the conical ring 308 is larger than that of the cone 307, and the outer side of the conical ring 308 is inclined.

[0022] Multiple shapes can be welded to the top of the support rod 1, making it convenient for workers to position the shapes. The positioning column 3 can be inserted into the positioning hole of the box furnace to wait for the positioning position. The fixing component inside the positioning column 3 provides movement space for the support plate 1 302, support plate 2 303 and moving slider 304 through the limiting slide groove 301. When the connecting block 306 moves in the moving groove 2 305, it will drive the moving slider 304 to slide along the limiting slide groove 301, and then push the support plate 1 302 outward through the support plate 2 303. Together with the support column 2, it can achieve the upper and lower clamping and fixing of the table, improving the safety and stability of the positioning column 3 insertion. This utility model welds the pre-positioned material to the top of the support rod 1, and with the linkage of multiple components, the positioning column 3 and the platform are self-adaptively fixed. It can work with the support column 2 to clamp and fix the platform from top to bottom, preventing the positioning device from loosening due to vibration when the box furnace is working. It also makes it convenient for workers to quickly position the material, thereby effectively improving the accuracy and convenience of the workers' mold-building operation and facilitating the subsequent automated debugging.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a helical spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 306, and the lower end of the helical spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning post 3. A partition plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the moving groove 4.

[0024] The spiral spring 8 at the bottom of the connecting block 306 is compressed, which will exert a downward pulling force on the connecting block 306. Under natural conditions, the connecting block 306 can be held in place. At this time, the moving slider 304 is located below the limiting slide groove 301, and the support plate 302 is in a vertical state. The partition plate 5 in the moving groove 4 divides the moving groove 4, provides support for the spiral spring 602 in the control component 6, and limits the movement range of the control component 6.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control component 6 includes a pressing column 601 that is slidably connected inside the moving groove 4. A connecting column 603 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pressing column 601, and the connecting column 603 penetrates the interior of the partition plate 5. A spiral spring 602 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the pressing column 601 and at the top of the partition plate 5. A conical clamp 604 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting column 603, and a pressing pad 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressing column 601.

[0026] Control component 6 controls the state of the fixing component through a pressing operation: When pressing the pad 7, the pressing column 601 slides downward along the moving groove 4, compressing the spiral spring 602 at the top of the partition plate 5. At the same time, the connecting column 603 drives the conical clamp 604 to move downward, squeezing the cone 307 and locking it to the outside of the cone 307. After releasing the pressing pad 7, the tension of the spiral spring 602 pulls the cone 307, causing the connecting block 306 to rise, thereby unfolding the support plate 302 and cooperating with the positioning column 3 to achieve the alignment of the platform. The device is clamped from top to bottom. When the operator presses the pad 7 again, the pressure is greater than the first press, causing the conical chuck 604 to descend and engage with the outer side of the conical ring 308. Since the outer side of the conical ring 308 is sloped, a secure engagement cannot be achieved. Then, the tension of the helical spring 8 causes the connecting block 306 to descend, thereby resetting the support plate 302 and releasing the clamp on the tabletop. The operator can then remove the device from the tabletop. This invention, through the design of the control component 6, effectively improves the safety and convenience of fixing the positioning column 3, facilitating its use and further enhancing its practicality.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the first movable slot 4 and the second movable slot 305 are connected, and the conical chuck 604 is located directly above the cone 307 and the conical ring 308.

[0028] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0029] When using the device, the operator first selects the position of the material, and then welds the device to the bottom of the material.

[0030] When the material needs to be positioned later, simply insert the positioning pin 3 into the positioning hole of the box furnace, press the pad 7 to make the pressing pin 601 slide down along the moving groove 4 and compress the spiral spring 602 at the top of the partition plate 5, the connecting pin 603 drives the conical chuck 604 through the connected moving groove 305, squeeze the cone 307 and lock it on the outside, after releasing the pad 7, the tension of the spiral spring 602 pulls the cone 307 and drives the connecting block 306 to rise, the moving slider 304 slides up along the limiting groove 301, and pushes the support plate 302 to unfold through the support plate 303, which works with the support pin 2 to clamp and fix the table surface from top to bottom, thereby achieving rapid positioning of the material;

[0031] When the device needs to be removed, the operator presses the pad 7 again with greater force than the first time, causing the conical chuck 604 to descend. Since it cannot be firmly locked onto the outside of the inclined surface of the conical ring 308, the two will separate. At this time, the tension of the helical spring 8 pulls the connecting block 306 down, and the sliding slider 304 slides down, causing the support plate 302 to reset. After the clamping is released, the device can be removed from the table.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
