Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transportation, specifically a pallet positioning fixture for irregularly shaped sheet materials. Background Technology

[0002] Automated stamping is a new type of process that integrates mechanical manufacturing, materials science, control engineering and digital technology. Its core objective is to achieve mass production of complex parts through high-precision and high-efficiency intelligent mechanical modules and tooling, while meeting the current market's demands for flexible, intelligent and green manufacturing.

[0003] Automated stamping retains the advantages of traditional die-stamping production, such as high efficiency, good quality, low cost, and energy and raw material savings. Furthermore, by replacing manual labor with intelligent robots, it not only reduces personnel safety risks and labor costs but also significantly improves production efficiency – a win-win situation. Because of this increased efficiency, the speed bottleneck in the entire processing flow is primarily concentrated in tooling and raw material switching processes. However, traditional automated positioning pallets can only handle pre-defined shapes like rectangular sheets, and cannot limit irregularly shaped raw materials or intermediate sheets during processing. Therefore, separate pallet settings are required for various sheet shapes, making pallet changes time-consuming, costly, space-consuming, and difficult to manage, thus significantly impacting production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a material pallet that can be applied to various shapes of sheet metal. When faced with irregularly shaped incoming materials, the material can be quickly changed to meet the shape requirements of the sheet metal, thereby reducing production preparation time and ensuring the stability of automation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pallet positioning fixture for irregularly shaped boards, which aims to solve the problem that existing pallets can only be used for boards of the same shape, requiring multiple types of pallets to adapt to boards of different shapes, thus reducing the overall process efficiency.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a pallet positioning fixture for irregularly shaped sheet metal, including a pallet base and a pallet panel. The pallet base includes multiple pallet support legs set at the corners, and each pallet support leg is provided with a lifting lug for hoisting. The pallet panel is provided with multiple positioning adjustment rods. The aforementioned tray panel includes an outer frame and an inner frame. The outer frame includes two sets of outer transverse connecting rods and outer longitudinal connecting rods connected end to end in sequence. The inner frame includes several longitudinal inner rods and transverse inner rods.

The lower end of each positioning adjustment rod is moved and engaged in the aforementioned longitudinal or transverse sliding groove.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, each longitudinal inner rod and each transverse inner rod is a square tube, and the longitudinal inner rods and the transverse inner rods are arranged in a cross shape.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the longitudinal and transverse slides are interconnected.

[0010] As one embodiment of this utility model, each positioning adjustment rod includes, from top to bottom, an adjustment rod body, a snap-fit ​​rod body, and a fixed end. The snap-fit ​​rod body is provided with a square snap-fit ​​surface, and the shape of the square snap-fit ​​surface matches the longitudinal or transverse sliding groove.

[0011] As one embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting rod body includes an intermediate rod and a rotating rod, the rotating rod is sleeved on the intermediate rod, and the rotating rod is provided with a clamping end face.

[0012] As one embodiment of this utility model, the above-mentioned fixed end includes a fixed threaded post and a fastening nut.

[0013] As one embodiment of this utility model, the above-mentioned tray support feet are provided in a certain number, which are respectively located at the four right-angle vertices of the tray base. Each tray support foot includes, from bottom to top, a support base, a support connecting column and a support connecting seat. The support connecting column is a square tube.

[0014] As one embodiment of this utility model, a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the top of the above-mentioned support connecting seat, and the shape of the snap-fit ​​groove matches the shape of the above-mentioned support base block.

[0015] As one embodiment of this utility model, the above-mentioned outer transverse connecting rod and outer longitudinal connecting rod are arranged in a rectangular shape, and the two ends of each outer transverse connecting rod and outer longitudinal connecting rod are respectively connected to the adjacent support connecting column.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model, by opening longitudinal and transverse sliding grooves on each inner rod, allows the positioning adjustment rod to move flexibly within the grooves. It can flexibly adjust the position of the positioning adjustment rod according to the specific shape and size of the irregular plate material, thereby achieving precise positioning of the irregular plate material, effectively improving the consistency and safety of loading and unloading. The flexible and convenient operation also reduces the labor intensity and operation time of workers, further improving production efficiency.

[0017] 2. The positioning adjustment rod adopts a sleeve structure of a middle rod and a rotating rod. The rotating rod is equipped with a clamping end face. By rotating the rotating rod, the irregularly shaped sheet metal can be clamped and fixed. The operation is simple and convenient. Because the positioning adjustment rod can move freely within the longitudinal and transverse slides, and the inner rods are arranged in a cross shape, the fixture can adapt to the positioning needs of irregularly shaped sheet metal of different shapes and sizes. Whether the sheet metal is regular or irregular in shape, precise positioning can be achieved by adjusting the position of the positioning adjustment rod, greatly improving the versatility and adaptability of the fixture.

The locking rod body 32 of the positioning adjustment rod 3 has a square locking surface 320 that matches the shape of the groove, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the positioning adjustment rod 3 during movement. This design allows the tooling to flexibly adjust the position of the positioning adjustment rod 3 according to the specific shape and size of the irregularly shaped sheet material, achieving precise positioning of the irregularly shaped sheet material, effectively improving the consistency and safety of loading and unloading. Simultaneously, the flexible and convenient operation reduces the labor intensity and operating time of workers, further improving production efficiency.

[0043] The adjusting rod 31 of the positioning adjusting rod 3 adopts a sleeve structure of an intermediate rod 311 and a rotating rod 312. The rotating rod 312 is provided with a clamping end face 313. By rotating the rotating rod 312, the irregularly shaped sheet metal can be clamped and fixed. The operation is simple and convenient. Since the positioning adjusting rod 3 can move freely within the longitudinal slide groove 2210 and the transverse slide groove 2220, and the inner rods are arranged in a cross shape, the tooling can adapt to the positioning requirements of irregularly shaped sheet metal of different shapes and sizes. Whether the sheet metal is regular or irregular in shape, precise positioning can be achieved by adjusting the position of the positioning adjusting rod 3, reducing production preparation time while ensuring the stability of automation, greatly improving the versatility and adaptability of the tooling.

[0044] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them.
