Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste container technology, and in particular to a positioning fixture for positioning the body of a waste container and its main beam. Background Technology
[0002] During the manufacturing process of waste containers, the container body and the container beam need to be assembled and welded together. Because the relative position of the container body and the container beam is difficult to measure during positioning, and this relative position directly affects the opening angle of the container door, many highly automated waste transfer stations have sensors specifically designed to detect the container door opening angle. If the opening angle deviates significantly, the sensors will not detect it, thus affecting a series of subsequent automated actions. Therefore, the relative position of the container body and the container beam is crucial. (See details...) Figure 1 As shown.
[0003] In current technology, the relative position of the container body and the container beam is determined by direct measurement with a tape measure, which is inefficient and has large measurement errors. This results in a large deviation in the opening angle of the container, and the sensor cannot detect the container door, which in turn affects the automated operation of the waste transfer station. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning fixture for positioning the body of a garbage container and the main beam, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A positioning fixture for positioning the body of a garbage container and a main beam includes a handle and a positioning block. One end of the positioning block is provided with the handle, and the other end of the positioning block is provided with an opening. The shape of the opening matches the end profile of the main beam.
[0007] Preferably, the upper inner wall of the opening is a first plane, and the lower inner wall of the opening is a second plane.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the opening near the handle is an inclined surface and an arc surface, one end of the inclined surface is connected to one end of the arc surface, the other end of the inclined surface is connected to the first plane, and the other end of the arc surface is connected to the second plane.
[0009] Preferably, the other end surface of the positioning block is a plane.
[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the positioning block is provided with a first positioning hole, and a first bolt is provided in the first positioning hole.
[0011] Preferably, a second positioning hole is provided at one end of the positioning block, the second positioning hole penetrates the positioning block, and a second bolt is provided in the second positioning hole.
[0012] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0013] (1) In this utility model, the opening design of the upper beam end of the positioning block matches the shape. The operator only needs to align the opening with the end of the beam and insert it to quickly achieve preliminary positioning. Compared with the traditional tape measure measurement, it saves the tedious measurement steps.
[0014] (2) In this utility model, the combination design of the first plane, the second plane, the inclined surface and the arc surface of the opening provides a precise positioning reference and guide for the beam, effectively reducing the positioning deviation.
[0015] (3) In this utility model, the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole and the corresponding bolts can further fix the position of the two after the positioning fixture is connected to the beam, and prevent the positioning block from shifting during the operation of the end face of the container body and the end face of the positioning fixture.
[0016] (4) In this utility model, the convenience of operation is increased by the design of the handle. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0024] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the positioning fixture used for positioning the body of the garbage container and the main beam in this utility model; Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the usage state of the positioning fixture used for positioning the body of a waste container against the main beam in this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment is illustrated, illustrating a positioning fixture for positioning the body of a waste container 8 and its main beam. The fixture includes a handle 1 and a positioning block 2. One end of the positioning block 2 has the handle 1, and the other end has an opening 3. The shape of the opening 3 matches the end profile of the main beam 9, enabling quick and accurate positioning of the fixture 10 to the main beam 9. Traditional tape measure methods rely on operator skills and experience, resulting in a cumbersome and error-prone process. This positioning fixture 10, through the adaptation of the opening 3 to the end of the main beam 9, can directly position the main beam 9 without complex measurement operations, significantly improving positioning efficiency. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shape and size of the positioning block 2 can be designed according to the shape of the container main beam 9 and the positional dimensions of the container body 8 and the main beam 9.
[0025] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the upper inner wall of opening 3 is a first plane 4, and the lower inner wall of opening 3 is a second plane 5. This planar design provides stable support and a positioning reference for the end of the beam 9. The inner wall of opening 3 near handle 1 is an inclined surface 6 and an arc surface 7. One end of the inclined surface 6 is connected to one end of the arc surface 7, the other end of the inclined surface 6 is connected to the first plane 4, and the other end of the arc surface 7 is connected to the second plane 5. This design not only facilitates the smooth insertion of the end of the beam 9 into opening 3, but also provides a certain guiding effect on the beam 9 during insertion, further improving the positioning accuracy. Traditional tape measure measurements are difficult to guarantee positioning accuracy, while in this embodiment, the positioning fixture 10, through the optimized structure of opening 3, can effectively reduce positioning deviation.
[0026] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation, the other end surface of the positioning block 2 is flat, which facilitates its fit with the container body 8 and achieves stable support for the container body 8.
[0027] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the positioning block 2 is provided with a first positioning hole, which penetrates the upper end of the positioning block 2 and communicates with the opening 3. A first bolt is installed in the first positioning hole. A second positioning hole is provided at one end of the positioning block 2, which penetrates the positioning block 2. A second bolt is installed in the second positioning hole. The arrangement of the first positioning hole, the first bolt, the second positioning hole, and the second bolt further fixes the position of the positioning fixture 10 and the main beam 9 after they are connected, preventing displacement during subsequent operations and ensuring positioning stability. When the end face of the container body 8 contacts the positioning block 2, the positioning fixture 10 may be subjected to a certain external force, which may lead to positioning deviation. The tightening of the first and second bolts effectively avoids this situation, ensuring that the positioning accuracy is maintained throughout the welding process.
[0028] In this embodiment, the handle 1 and the positioning block 2 are welded together, and the positioning block 2 can be easily operated through the handle 1. Two threaded holes are provided on the beam 9, which are opposite to the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole, for cooperating with the first bolt and the second bolt.
[0029] In use, the operator holds the handle 1 of the positioning fixture 10 and aligns the opening 3 at the other end of the positioning block 2 with the end of the main beam 9. Due to the inclined surface 6 and arc surface 7 of the inner wall of the opening 3 near the handle 1, the end of the main beam 9 can be inserted into the opening 3 relatively smoothly. During insertion, the inclined surface 6 and arc surface 7 act as guides, allowing the end of the main beam 9 to accurately fall into the position defined by the first plane 4 and the second plane 5, achieving initial positioning. After the end of the main beam 9 is inserted into the opening 3 and its position is initially determined, the first bolt is passed through the first positioning hole and into the corresponding threaded hole and tightened, so that the positioning block 2 and the main beam 9 are initially fixed in the vertical direction, preventing the positioning block 2 from shifting in the vertical direction. Then, the second bolt is passed through the second positioning hole and into the corresponding threaded hole and tightened, further fixing the relative position of the positioning block 2 and the main beam 9, ensuring that the positioning block 2 will not move in the horizontal direction, completing the fixed connection between the positioning fixture 10 and the main beam 9. At this time, the main beam 9 has achieved accurate and stable positioning through the positioning fixture 10. The pre-positioned main beam 9 is placed on a suitable workbench, and then the container body 8 is hoisted above the main beam 9, aligning it with the main beam 9 according to design requirements. At this point, the positioning fixture 10 provides an accurate positioning reference for the relative position of the container body 8 and the main beam 9. Operators can quickly adjust the position of the container body 8 based on the positional relationship between the positioning fixture 10 and the main beam 9 to achieve the ideal relative position. After the container body 8 and the main beam 9 are in position, welding can proceed. During welding, because the positioning fixture 10 is tightly fixed to the main beam 9 with bolts, it effectively resists external forces generated during welding, ensuring that the container body 8 and the main beam 9 do not shift relative to each other during welding. This ensures the accurate relative position of the welded container body 8 and the main beam 9, thereby guaranteeing that the opening angle of the container door meets design requirements. After the welding operation is completed, first use a tool to loosen the second bolt and remove it from the second positioning hole. Then loosen the first bolt and remove it. Then the operator holds the handle 1 and pulls the positioning fixture 10 out from the opening 3 at the end of the beam 9 to complete the disassembly of the positioning fixture 10 for the next use.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
