Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of positioning mechanism technology, specifically relating to an embedded positioning pin. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, precise positioning is required when transporting battery cells and finished batteries on pallets. However, problems such as tilting or shifting during pallet positioning cannot be detected in time. This can lead to mechanical grippers colliding with the machine during the gripping of battery cells and finished batteries, resulting in product scrapping, equipment damage, and fixture damage.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a positioning pin structure for pallet clamp positioning and position detection, to solve the problem of undetectable tilting or offset of pallet clamps during positioning, and to reduce the occurrence of mechanical grippers colliding with the machine. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an embedded positioning pin, which solves the problem of pallet clamps lacking position detection function, which easily causes collisions during the material handling process.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: an embedded positioning pin, including a positioning pin, wherein the positioning pin is inserted into the tray positioning pin hole, the positioning pin is fixedly set in the positioning module mechanism, a proximity switch sensor is set inside the positioning pin, and the positioning pin and the tray positioning pin hole cooperate with each other.
[0006] The positioning module mechanism is used to drive the positioning pin to be inserted into the positioning pin hole of the tray. The positioning module mechanism is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0007] The proximity switch sensor is linearly connected to the electrical control system.
[0008] The proximity switch sensor and the positioning pin are embedded as a single unit.
[0009] The positioning pin has a hollow hole inside, and the proximity switch sensor is inserted into the hollow hole.
[0010] A concave circular groove is formed at the bottom of the hollow hole, and a nut is placed inside the concave circular groove. The nut is placed in conjunction with the concave circular groove.
[0011] The proximity switch sensor is screwed to the nut.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This embedded positioning pin not only provides high-precision positioning, but also detects the tray's position by using an internally embedded proximity switch sensor, which outputs a signal to the electrical control system, forming a closed-loop electrical control system. This solves the problem of collisions during the robotic arm's material handling and feeding process. It avoids product damage, equipment damage, and tray carrier damage caused by collisions, thus reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1
[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embedded positioning pin includes a positioning pin 1, which is inserted into the tray positioning pin hole 6. The positioning pin 1 is fixedly installed in the positioning module mechanism. A proximity switch sensor 2 is installed inside the positioning pin 1. The positioning pin 1 and the tray positioning pin hole 6 cooperate with each other.
[0021] Furthermore, the proximity switch sensor 2 is linearly connected to the electrical control system.
[0022] Furthermore, the proximity switch sensor and the 2 positioning pins 1 are embedded as a single unit. This reduces the size and facilitates detection.
[0023] When this application is in operation, the pallet is transported to the designated position by the conveying system, and then lifted and positioned by the positioning module mechanism. The positioning pin 1 cooperates with the pallet positioning pin hole 6 for positioning. Then, the proximity switch sensor 2 detects whether the pallet is positioned in place. The proximity switch sensor 2 outputs a position signal to the electrical control system to realize the pallet's relative position safety detection function and positioning function. Example 2
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embedded positioning pin includes a positioning pin 1, which is inserted into the tray positioning pin hole 6. The positioning pin 1 is fixedly installed in the positioning module mechanism. A proximity switch sensor 2 is installed inside the positioning pin 1. The positioning pin 1 and the tray positioning pin hole 6 cooperate with each other.
[0025] Furthermore, the proximity switch sensor 2 is linearly connected to the electrical control system.
[0026] Furthermore, the proximity switch sensor and the 2 positioning pins 1 are embedded as a single unit. This reduces the size and facilitates detection.
[0027] Furthermore, the positioning pin 1 has a hollow hole 4 inside, and the proximity switch sensor 2 is inserted into the hollow hole 4.
[0028] Furthermore, a concave circular groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the hollow hole 4, and a nut 3 is provided inside the concave circular groove 5.
[0029] Furthermore, the proximity switch sensor 2 is screwed to the nut 3. The position of the proximity switch sensor 2 can be adjusted using the nut 3.
[0030] In use, the pallet is transported to the designated position by the conveying system, and then lifted and positioned by the positioning module mechanism. The positioning pin 1 cooperates with the positioning pin hole 6 of the pallet for positioning. Then, the proximity switch sensor 2 detects whether the pallet is positioned in place. The proximity switch sensor 2 outputs a position signal to the electrical control system to realize the pallet's relative position safety detection function and positioning function.
[0031] Furthermore, the hollow hole 4 of the positioning pin has two holes with different diameters. The bottom hole allows the proximity switch sensor 2 to pass through but does not allow the nut 3 to pass through. The top hole allows the nut 3 to pass through. The concave groove 5 is mainly used to install the nut 3 and tighten the nut 3, so that the proximity switch sensor 2 can be fixed inside the positioning pin 1 by the two nuts 3. The position of the proximity switch sensor 2 can be adjusted by the nuts 3 to meet a wider range of applications.
