Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a fixture for automation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Automated equipment, with its wide range of applications, has become a crucial engine driving the development of modern social productivity. Its reach extends to many key industries, including industrial manufacturing, agricultural production, and transportation. Particularly in industrial processing, the application of automation technology has reached unprecedented levels. In the precision processes of industrial processing, automated equipment not only greatly alleviates the labor intensity of operators but also significantly improves production efficiency and product quality through precise control and efficient execution. Taking pipe processing as an example, this stage demands extremely high precision and stability. The specialized clamps in automated equipment, with their precise clamping and reliable limiting functions, ensure the pipe remains stable during processing, laying a solid foundation for high-quality processing results.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent CN220296884U discloses a clamp for automated equipment, which "has a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate, and the inner wall of the first limiting plate has a first limiting groove, and the inner wall of the second limiting plate has a second limiting groove. The internal structure of the first limiting groove and the internal structure of the second limiting groove are the same. A fixing plate is set inside the second limiting groove, and a rubber clamping block is connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate. A spring is installed on the inner surface of the fixing plate, so that when encountering pipes of different sizes, the pipes can be clamped more securely, effectively preventing loosening and improving the flexibility of the clamp during use." In the process of surface processing of pipes, such as painting, in order to ensure that the paint layer can evenly and without omission cover every inch of the outer surface of the pipe, the pipe often needs to be flipped multiple times. However, the current clamp design has limitations and lacks the function of automatically flipping the pipe, which undoubtedly increases the complexity of operation and labor costs. More importantly, the clamp relies on the first limiting plate to achieve a stable clamping of the pipe, but this design also brings drawbacks. During the clamping process, the first limiting plate will inevitably cover part of the pipe surface, forming an obstruction area, which in turn interferes with and restricts the user's operation of fine processing on the obstructed part of the pipe surface, affecting the overall processing efficiency and quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution: a fixture for automated equipment, comprising a worktable, four legs fixedly connected to the lower end of the worktable, two limiting grooves formed at the upper end of the worktable, a moving mechanism provided at the upper end of the worktable, two moving parts of the moving mechanism being slidably connected to the limiting grooves, a driving part of the moving mechanism being located inside the limiting grooves and rotatably connected to the limiting grooves, multiple rotating mechanisms rotatably disposed on the surfaces of the two moving parts of the moving mechanism, one end of one set of rotating mechanisms being fixedly connected to an inner clamping mechanism, and a driving mechanism fixedly disposed on the surface of the moving part of the moving mechanism, the driving mechanism being capable of driving multiple rotating mechanisms to rotate simultaneously.

[0005] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the moving mechanism includes a motor, a bidirectional lead screw, a moving table, a slider, and a fixed plate. The motor is installed at one end of the working table, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw. One end of the bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the end face of the limiting groove. Two sliders are slidably connected inside each of the two limiting grooves. Both sliders are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw. The upper end of the slider is fixedly connected to the moving table, and multiple fixed plates are provided on the upper end of the moving table.

[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating disk, a gear, and a rotating block. The rotating block is rotatably connected to the shaft hole opened on the surface of the fixed plate. One end of the rotating block is fixedly connected to the rotating disk, and the other end of the rotating block is fixedly connected to the gear. One end of the rotating disk is fixedly connected to the inner clamping mechanism.

[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the driving mechanism includes a limiting rod, a telescopic rod, a lifting plate, and a rack. The telescopic rod is installed on the surface of the moving platform, and two limiting rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the moving platform. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod is equipped with a lifting plate. The limiting rod passes through the lifting plate and is slidably connected to the lifting plate. A rack is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting plate, and the rack meshes with a gear.

[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the internal clamping mechanism includes a slide rail, a second bidirectional lead screw, a second motor, a second slider, and a clamping rod. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating disk near the lifting plate. Two second sliders are slidably connected inside the slide rail. A second motor is installed at the upper end of the slide rail. A second bidirectional lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. The second bidirectional lead screw passes through the second slider and is threadedly connected to the second slider. A clamping rod is fixedly connected to one end of the second slider.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The internal clamping mechanism expands outward to clamp one end of the pipe, thus securing a row of pipes to one end of a set of rotating mechanisms. Then, the moving mechanism drives the two sets of rotating mechanisms to move closer together, pressing the row of pipes tightly in the middle, further improving the clamping stability of the row of pipes and ensuring that the pipes will not shift during processing.

[0010] When the lifting end of the drive mechanism rises and falls, it engages with multiple rotating mechanisms to simultaneously drive these mechanisms, thereby rotating a row of pipes. This allows users to perform comprehensive and complete surface finishing operations such as painting on multiple pipes simultaneously, improving processing efficiency.

[0011] The internal clamping method does not obstruct the pipe surface, allowing the entire outer surface of the pipe to be fully exposed during processes such as painting, thereby ensuring processing quality and making the pipe surface treatment more uniform and complete.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a fixture for automated equipment, including a workbench 1, four legs fixedly connected to the lower end of the workbench 1, two limiting grooves 2 opened at the upper end of the workbench 1, a moving mechanism 3 provided at the upper end of the workbench 1, two moving parts of the moving mechanism 3 being slidably connected to the limiting grooves 2, the driving part of the moving mechanism 3 being located inside the limiting grooves 2 and rotatably connected to the limiting grooves 2, multiple rotating mechanisms 4 being rotatably provided on the surfaces of the two moving parts of the moving mechanism 3, one end of one set of rotating mechanisms 4 being fixedly connected to an inner clamping mechanism 5, and a driving mechanism 6 being fixedly provided on the surface of the moving part of the moving mechanism 3, the driving mechanism 6 being able to drive multiple rotating mechanisms 4 to rotate simultaneously.

[0016] In this implementation scheme, the user activates the inner clamping mechanism 5, and the clamping end of the inner clamping mechanism 5 expands outward to clamp one end of the pipe, making a row of pipes stable at one end of a set of rotating mechanisms 4. Then, the user activates the moving mechanism 3, which drives the two sets of rotating mechanisms 4 to move closer to each other, thereby pressing the row of pipes tightly in the middle, thus further improving the clamping stability of the row of pipes. When the row of pipes is painted, the user activates the drive mechanism 6, and the lifting end of the drive mechanism 6 rises and falls. Since the lifting end of the drive mechanism 6 engages with multiple moving mechanisms 3 at the same time, multiple moving mechanisms 3 can be driven to rotate simultaneously during the lifting process, thereby driving the row of pipes to rotate simultaneously. This allows the user to perform a comprehensive and complete painting operation on multiple pipes at the same time. Because the inner clamping method is used, the pipe surface will not be obstructed.

[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the moving mechanism 3 includes a motor 31, a bidirectional lead screw 32, a moving table 33, a slider 34, and a fixed plate 35. The motor 31 is installed at one end of the worktable 1. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 32. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 32 is rotatably connected to the end face of the limiting groove 2. Two sliders 34 are slidably connected inside the two limiting grooves 2. Both sliders 34 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 32. The upper end of the slider 34 is fixedly connected to the moving table 33. Multiple fixed plates 35 are provided on the upper end of the moving table 33.

[0018] In this embodiment, after the user pre-clamps the pipe using the inner clamping mechanism 5, the user starts the motor 31. The output end of the motor 31 drives the bidirectional lead screw 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 34 to slide inside the limiting groove 2, causing the two sets of sliders 34 to move closer to each other. As the two sets of sliders 34 move closer to each other, the two moving platforms 33 move closer to each other, which in turn drives the two sets of rotating mechanisms 4 to move closer to each other through the fixing plate 35. The two sets of rotating mechanisms 4 perform end-face clamping on a row of pipes, thereby improving the stability of the row of pipes.

[0019] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating disk 41, a gear 42, and a rotating block 43. The rotating block 43 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole opened on the surface of the fixed plate 35. One end of the rotating block 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 41, and the other end of the rotating block 43 is fixedly connected to the gear 42. One end of the rotating disk 41 is fixedly connected to the inner clamping mechanism 5.

[0020] In this embodiment, the user activates the drive mechanism 6, causing the lifting end of the drive mechanism 6 to rise and fall. This, in turn, drives multiple gears 42 and rotating blocks 43 to rotate simultaneously through meshing transmission, thereby causing multiple rotating disks 41 to rotate. This causes a row of pipes to rotate simultaneously, making it easier for the user to spray paint the outer surface of the pipes.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a limiting rod 61, a telescopic rod 62, a lifting plate 63, and a rack 64. The telescopic rod 62 is mounted on the surface of the moving platform 33. Two limiting rods 61 are fixedly connected to the surface of the moving platform 33. The lifting plate 63 is mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 62. The limiting rod 61 passes through the lifting plate 63 and is slidably connected to the lifting plate 63. The upper end of the lifting plate 63 is fixedly connected to the rack 64, and the rack 64 meshes with the gear 42.

[0022] In this embodiment, the user activates the telescopic rod 62, which causes the lifting plate 63 to rise and fall. The lifting plate 63 slides on the surface of the limiting rod 61, thereby causing multiple racks 64 to rise and fall simultaneously. Since the racks 64 and gears 42 mesh with each other, multiple gears 42 can be driven to rotate simultaneously. In turn, a row of pipes can be driven to rotate simultaneously through two sets of rotating mechanisms 4 and one set of internal clamping mechanisms 5.

[0023] like Figure 6As shown, the inner clamping mechanism 5 includes a slide rail 51, a double-acting lead screw 52, ​​a motor 53, a slider 54, and a clamping rod 55. The slide rail 51 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating disk 41 near the lifting plate 63. Two sliders 54 are slidably connected inside the slide rail 51. The motor 53 is installed at the upper end of the slide rail 51. The output end of the motor 53 is fixedly connected to the double-acting lead screw 52. The double-acting lead screw 52 passes through the slider 54 and is threadedly connected to the slider 54. One end of the slider 54 is fixedly connected to the clamping rod 55.

[0024] In this embodiment, the user starts the second motor 53, which drives the second bidirectional lead screw 52 to rotate, thereby causing the two second sliders 54 to slide inside the slide rail 51, which in turn causes the two clamping rods 55 to expand. As the two clamping rods 55 expand, one end of the pipe can be clamped internally.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
