Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying and guiding technology, specifically a general-purpose five-station guiding and positioning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In automated production, conveyor belts, wire harnesses, and other assembly lines are production line systems used for mass production. By breaking down the production process into multiple steps and setting up conveyor belts or conveyor systems between each step, continuous flow and automated processing of products are achieved during the production process. This production method is commonly used in the manufacturing sector, such as automobile manufacturing, electronic product assembly, and food processing, to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure product quality.
[0003] Currently, products fed via conveyor belts need to be intercepted before being picked up by the picking device. For automatic picking devices, the interception position ensures the accuracy of picking. However, the traditional interception device is too simple and cannot accurately guarantee that the product reaches the picking position, causing the picking device to need to self-position multiple times. In addition, different products require different specifications of interception devices, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, traditional conveyor belts usually position one product at a time, resulting in low efficiency and failing to meet the demand for efficient automated picking. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a universal five-station guide and positioning mechanism, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a universal five-position guide positioning mechanism, comprising supports and mounting side plates. The number of supports is four, with two supports positioned at both ends of a horizontal plate. The bottom of the horizontal plate is provided with a movable guide side plate and a fixed guide side plate. A front guide strip is rotatably provided at one end of each of the movable and fixed guide side plates. The number of mounting side plates is two, with a side-push cylinder provided on the surface of one of the mounting side plates. A linkage frame is located at the drive end of the side-push cylinder, and a side-push plate is located at the bottom of the linkage frame. A stop bar is provided at one end of the mounting side plate.
[0006] Optionally, a groove is provided on one side of the support, and an elongated mounting hole is provided inside the groove.
[0007] Optionally, the surface of the cross plate is provided with an adjustment elongated hole for adjusting the installation position of the guide movable side plate.
[0008] Optionally, both mounting side plates are provided with linear guide rails and limiting blocks on their surfaces.
[0009] Optionally, the bottom of the linkage frame is provided with a slider that is adapted to the linear guide rail.
[0010] Optionally, a connector is provided between the mounting side plate and two of the supports.
[0011] This utility model provides a universal five-station guide and positioning mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This universal five-station guide and positioning mechanism divides the conveyor belt into five feeding positions through the cooperation of movable and fixed guide side plates, guiding five products simultaneously, which greatly improves the guiding efficiency of the mechanism. The rotatable front guide bar allows the mechanism to adjust the material inlet size, thereby improving the flexibility of the mechanism. The side push cylinder, linkage frame, and side push plate are linked together to enable the mechanism to position five products simultaneously, further improving the positioning efficiency.
[0012] 2. This universal five-station guide positioning mechanism, through the grooves on the support and the mounting elongated holes, facilitates the adjustment of the installation height of the horizontal plate. The installation position of the guide movable side plate can be fine-tuned by adjusting the elongated holes. This allows the mechanism to adjust the width of each station according to the product size, expanding its application range and effectively reducing costs. The linear guide rails and sliders improve the stability of the side-push cylinder-driven linkage frame when pushing the product with the side-push plate. The limit blocks limit the left and right translation of the linkage frame, ensuring accurate positioning. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0015] 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.
[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a universal five-station guide positioning mechanism, including a support 1 and a mounting plate 2. A groove 11 is provided on one side of the support 1, and an elongated mounting hole 12 is provided inside the groove 11. The groove 11 and the elongated mounting hole 12 on the support 1 facilitate adjustment of the mounting height of the horizontal plate 3. There are four supports 1, with two supports 1 positioned at each end of a horizontal plate 3. The surface of the horizontal plate 3 is provided with an adjusting elongated hole 13 for adjusting the mounting position of the guide movable side plate 4 and a fixing mounting hole. The mounting position of the guide movable side plate is finely adjusted by adjusting the elongated hole 13, allowing the mechanism to adjust the width of each station according to the product size. To expand the application range of the mechanism and effectively reduce costs, the bottom of the horizontal plate 3 is equipped with a guide movable side plate 4 and a guide fixed side plate 5. The guide movable side plate 4 and the guide fixed side plate 5 are set one-to-one, and there are five guide movable side plates 4 and five guide fixed side plates 5. This allows the mechanism to divide the conveyor belt into five feeding positions and guide five products at the same time, which greatly improves the guiding efficiency of the mechanism. One end of the guide movable side plate 4 and the guide fixed side plate 5 can be rotatably equipped with a front guide bar 6, so there are ten front guide bars 6. Through the rotatably connected front guide bars 6, the size of the material inlet can be adjusted to improve the flexibility of the mechanism. There are two mounting side plates 2. The surfaces of both mounting side plates 2 are provided with linear guide rails 14 and limit blocks 15. The limit blocks 15 limit the left and right translation of the linkage frame, preventing the side push cylinder 7 from over-driving and ensuring accurate positioning. A connector 17 is provided between the mounting side plate 2 and two of the supports 1. The connector 17 can be used to position the mounting side plate 2 and the support 1 to ensure aligned installation and facilitate subsequent positioning. The surface of one of the mounting side plates 2 is provided with a side push cylinder 7. The driving end of the side push cylinder 7 is connected to the linkage frame 8. The bottom of the linkage frame 8 is provided with a slider 16 that matches the linear guide rail 14. The linear guide rail 14 and slider 16 improve the stability when the side push cylinder 7 drives the linkage frame 8 to push the product with the side push plate 9. The bottom of the linkage frame 8 is provided with the side push plate 9 so that the mechanism can position five products at the same time, further improving positioning efficiency. A stop bar 10 is provided at one end of the mounting side plate 2 to block the material coming from the transmission belt.
[0017] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows: First, install the four supports 1 in pairs on the edge of the conveyor belt. Then, connect the two ends of the horizontal plate 3 to the supports 1. Install the guide movable side plate 4 and the guide fixed side plate 5 at the bottom of the horizontal plate 3. The guide movable side plate 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the elongated hole 13 to adjust the width between the guide movable side plate 4 and the guide fixed side plate 5 according to the size of the product, so as to divide the conveyor belt into five positioning stations. Then, the mounting side plate 2 is installed at the rear end of the support 1 and connected by the connector 17, so that the linkage frame 8, with the side push plate 9, is slidably installed on the surface of the linear guide rail 14 of the mounting side plate 2 via the slider 16. Limiting blocks 15 are installed on both sides of the linkage frame 8, and the side push cylinder 7 is installed on one of the mounting side plates 2 and connected to the linkage frame 8. When the incoming material arrives at the front guide bar 6 via the conveyor belt, it is conveyed into the positioning station composed of the guide movable side plate 4 and the guide fixed side plate 5. Then it comes to the stop bar 10, and then the side push cylinder 7 drives the linkage frame 8 to push the product to one side with the side push plate 9 for positioning, so as to cooperate with the material picking device to pick up the material with one side as the reference.
[0018] 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 the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
