Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting manufacturing technology, specifically to a tooling fixture for lighting processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the lighting manufacturing industry, traditional processing lines generally employ a discrete positioning method of "one fixture per process": after completing each process, the operator must remove the semi-finished lighting product from the current fixture, then remove the fixture from the workbench, and re-lock it with another set of dedicated fixtures before proceeding to the next process. This model has the following obvious drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Frequent tooling changes and long downtime

[0004] A typical corded light manufacturing line usually involves multiple positioning processes, such as component assembly, battery box assembly, lamp holder contact installation, cap hook screw installation, cap hook fixing, lamp holder cable threading, battery box cover cable threading, cable terminal fixing, and cable pulling. Each time the fixture is changed, 4 to 6 bolts need to be loosened / tightened and the positioning reference needs to be recalibrated. The time wasted in 6 to 8 positioning processes is even greater, which significantly affects the equipment utilization rate.

[0005] 2. High labor intensity; fixtures can easily scratch the lamp body.

[0006] Currently, the industry commonly uses metal or POM fixtures. These fixtures are heavy, and their sharp points can easily scratch the lamp body. Additionally, on-site storage carts are required to store offline fixtures, taking up aisle space. Mixing multiple similar fixtures can easily lead to mistakes and cause dimensional deviations in batch processing.

[0007] Therefore, how to reduce the number of fixture changes and realize the sharing of positioning platforms among multiple processes has become a bottleneck that urgently needs to be overcome in the lamp manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a tooling fixture for lamp processing.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a tooling fixture for lamp processing, including a base and a mounting base, wherein the base is detachably integrated with a wire groove and multiple fixtures for different processing steps, and the fixtures are provided with contour grooves for accommodating various parts of the lamp, and the base is detachably mounted on the mounting base.

[0010] In the above technical solution, by integrating multiple clamps and wire guides on the base, the workers do not need to disassemble the original clamps and replace them with new ones. Instead, they can select the clamps they need to use on the base and use the corresponding clamps to hold the parts to be processed. This saves the workers the step of disassembling and assembling clamps, reduces the labor load, and significantly improves work efficiency. The wire guide is used to press the sealing rings at both ends of the corded light fixture cable into the light fixture.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the mounting base has a mounting groove that matches the shape of the base, and the base is embedded in the mounting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting base has a foolproof protrusion on the bottom of its mounting groove, and the base has a foolproof groove at the corresponding position that engages with the foolproof protrusion.

[0013] Preferably, the base has a label slot.

[0014] Preferably, the cable tray is fixed to the base by the base body, the inner wall of the cable tray housing is provided with a lead channel for guiding the cable, and one end of the cable tray housing along its length is provided with a press-fit semi-plane.

[0015] Preferably, the matrix is ​​made of modified polypropylene, polyethylene, or ABS.

[0016] Preferably, the material of the cable tray housing is one of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, and titanium alloy.

[0017] Preferably, a press-fit housing is detachably installed on the cable tray housing, the end face of one end of the press-fit housing is aligned with the press-fit half-plane, and the press-fit housing and the cable tray housing are mated to form a press-fit full-plane.

[0018] Preferably, the plurality of said clamps are detachably mounted on the base by fasteners.

[0019] Preferably, each of the clamps has a connecting plate fixed to its bottom surface. The connecting plate is detachably connected to the base via a disassembly and assembly structure. The disassembly and assembly structure includes a snap-fit ​​component and a snap-fit ​​mating component. The snap-fit ​​component is slidably connected to one of the connecting plate and the base, and the snap-fit ​​mating component is disposed on the other of the connecting plate and the base. The snap-fit ​​component can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​mating component to snap and fix the connecting plate and the base.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. The tooling fixtures used for processing this lamp integrate multiple clamps and wire guides on the base. Instead of disassembling the original clamps and replacing them with new ones, workers can select the clamps they need from the base and use the corresponding clamps to hold the parts to be processed. This saves workers the steps of disassembling and assembling clamps, reduces labor load, and significantly improves work efficiency. The wire guides are used to press the sealing rings at both ends of the corded lamp cable into the lamp.

[0022] 2. The tooling fixtures used in the processing of this lamp are designed with anti-misfit bosses and anti-misfit grooves. By utilizing the characteristic that the two can only be inserted in a single relative position, the two possible installation states caused by the geometric symmetry of the mounting groove are eliminated. When the base is rotated, the anti-misfit bosses and anti-misfit grooves interfere with each other, and the base cannot sink. This forces the user to complete the assembly only in the correct direction, completely avoiding reverse installation errors.

[0023] 3. The tooling fixtures used for processing this lamp have a wire groove design that allows workers to align the sealing ring with the sealing groove with one hand and pull the wire with the other, thereby reducing the difficulty of pressing the sealing ring. In addition, this solution does not require fixing the lamp to the workbench, so it is more convenient to move the lamp. There is no need for fixing and disassembly steps, and there is no need to adopt a large-volume design, which reduces equipment costs and improves the ease of use.

[0024] 4. The tooling and fixtures used in the processing of this lamp are made of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and titanium alloy, which are all lightweight metals with low density and high tensile strength, and can meet the requirements of tensile strength and light weight of the wire trough shell.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The tooling fixture for lamp processing in this solution includes a base 1 and a mounting base 2. The base 1 is detachably integrated with a wire groove 3 and multiple fixtures 4 for different processing steps. The fixtures are provided with contour grooves for accommodating various parts of the lamp. The base 1 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 2.

[0037] In the above technical solution, by integrating multiple clamps 4 and wire guide grooves 3 on the base 1, the workers do not need to disassemble the original clamps 4 and replace them with new ones. Instead, they can select the clamps 4 they need to use on the base 1 and use the corresponding clamps 4 to clamp the parts to be processed. This saves the workers the step of disassembling and assembling the clamps 4, reduces the labor load, and significantly improves work efficiency. The wire guide groove is used to press the sealing rings at both ends of the corded lamp cable into the lamp.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, multiple clamps 4 are detachably mounted on the base 1 by fasteners.

[0039] In the above technical solution, when the clamp 4 is damaged, the fastener can be removed, thereby separating the clamp 4 from the base 1, which makes it convenient to replace the clamp 4.

[0040] It should be noted that the first fastener and the fastener can be a bolt paired with a nut, stud, screw or other existing fastener.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In some other embodiments, a connecting plate 6 is fixed to the bottom surface of each clamp 4. The connecting plate 6 is detachably connected to the base 1 through a disassembly structure 7. The disassembly structure 7 includes a snap-fit ​​member 71 and a snap-fit ​​mating member 72. The snap-fit ​​member 71 is slidably connected to one of the connecting plate 6 and the base 1, and the snap-fit ​​mating member 72 is disposed on the other of the connecting plate 6 and the base 1. The snap-fit ​​member 71 can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​mating member 72 to snap-fit ​​and fix the connecting plate 6 and the base 1. When the snap-fit ​​member 71 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​mating member 72, the bottom surface of the snap-fit ​​member 71 is parallel to the mounting surface of the base 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 6 is installed on the base 1 by the snap-fit ​​part 71 and the snap-fit ​​mating part 72. The factory can install different clamps 4 with connecting plates 6 on the base 1 according to different processes. When needed, the workers can directly take out the base 1 and the clamps 4 on it, and then directly fix the base 1 to the workbench by bolts or other means. After the processing is completed, when the clamps 4 are not needed, only the base 1 needs to be disassembled, instead of disassembling the clamps 4 one by one from the workbench.

[0043] When installing the clamp 4 with the connecting plate 6 onto the base 1, first place the connecting plate 6 in the reserved position on the base 1, and then control the movement of the snap-fit ​​71 to insert the snap-fit ​​71 into the snap-fit ​​mating part 72. If you want to remove the connecting plate 6 directly from the base 1, the side of the snap-fit ​​71 facing the base 1 will abut against the snap-fit ​​mating part 72, making it impossible for the connecting plate 6 to detach from the base 1, thus fixing the connecting plate 6 to the base 1. When it is necessary to remove the connecting plate 6, the snap-fit ​​71 needs to be pulled out from the snap-fit ​​mating part 72 first, and then the connecting plate 6 can be directly removed from the base 1.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component 72 includes a snap-fit ​​boss 721 and a snap-fit ​​interface 722. The snap-fit ​​interface 722 is disposed on the side of the snap-fit ​​boss 721. The snap-fit ​​component 71 is adapted to the snap-fit ​​interface 722. The disassembly and assembly structure 7 also includes a mating groove 73. The mating groove 73 is opened at the corner where the bottom surface of the connecting plate 6 intersects with any side surface. The snap-fit ​​boss 721 is disposed on the base 1 and can be inserted into the mating groove 73.

[0045] When the bottom of the connecting plate 6 is flat and the base 1 is flat, it is difficult to fix the connecting plate 6 to the base 1. In order to facilitate the fixing of the connecting plate 6, this application designs a snap-fit ​​boss 721 on the base 1. During the process of the connecting plate 6 fitting into the base 1, the snap-fit ​​boss 721 will gradually be inserted into the groove. When the snap-fit ​​boss 721 is fully inserted into the groove, the snap-fit ​​component 71 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​interface 722 to fix the connecting plate 6 and the base 1.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are two snap-fit ​​pieces 71 and two snap-fit ​​interfaces 722. The two snap-fit ​​interfaces 722 are located on opposite sides of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 721. In order to more stably fix the base 1 and the connecting plate 6, two sliding grooves 75 connected to the mating groove 73 are provided in one connecting plate 6. The two snap-fit ​​pieces 71 are slidably connected in the corresponding sliding grooves 75 and mating grooves 73 respectively. The two snap-fit ​​pieces 71 can fix the base 1 and the connecting plate 6 from both sides at the same time.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the disassembly and assembly structure 7 also includes a spring 74, a sliding groove 75 is provided on the connecting plate 6, the snap-fit ​​member 71 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 75, the spring 74 is provided in the sliding groove 75, and the two ends of the spring 74 respectively abut against the snap-fit ​​member 71 and the bottom of the sliding groove 75. The area of ​​the longitudinal section of the snap-fit ​​member 71 facing the base 1 gradually decreases along the direction in which the snap-fit ​​member 71 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​mating member 72.

[0048] In this application, the snap-fit ​​component 71 has an inclined surface facing the base 1 shown. During the process of the protrusion being inserted into the groove, the protrusion will squeeze the inclined surface of the snap-fit ​​component 71, and the snap-fit ​​component 71 will gradually move into the connecting plate 6. The spring 74 is compressed until the snap-fit ​​component 71 moves to the vicinity of the opening of the card interface 722. The spring 74 drives the snap-fit ​​component 71 to extend and insert into the card interface 722. Through the spring 74 and the inclined surface of the snap-fit ​​component 71, the connecting plate 6 can be installed on the base 1 by direct insertion, which simplifies the installation process.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 6 Preferably, the top of the mounting base 2 is provided with a mounting groove 8 that matches the shape of the base 1, and the base 1 is embedded into the mounting groove 8.

[0050] In the above technical solution, the mounting groove 8 facilitates the user to align the base 1 with the mounting seat 2, improving the alignment efficiency of the base 1 and the mounting seat 2. This allows the user to fix the base 1 and the mounting groove 8 together using the first fastener. In addition, since the base 1 is located in the mounting groove 8, when the base 1 is subjected to a horizontal force, the base 1 will not slide relative to the mounting seat 2 due to the limiting effect of the mounting groove 8, thus preventing the base 1 from falling off. When it is necessary to remove the base 1 from the mounting seat 2, the base 1 can be removed from the mounting seat 2 by simply moving the base 1 upwards.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 7 to 8 Preferably, the mounting base 2 is provided with a foolproof protrusion 9 on the bottom of its mounting groove 8, and the base 1 is provided with a foolproof groove 10 that is inserted and matched with the foolproof protrusion 9 at the corresponding position. Both the foolproof protrusion 9 and the foolproof groove 10 are set to one side of either central axis of the mounting groove 2.

[0052] In the above technical solution, the setting of the anti-misfit boss 9 and the anti-misfit groove 10 utilizes the characteristic of plugging in with a unique relative position to eliminate the two installable states caused by the geometric symmetry of the mounting groove 8; when the base 1 is rotated in a different direction, the anti-misfit boss 9 and the anti-misfit groove 10 interfere with each other in space, and the base 1 cannot sink, thereby forcing the user to complete the assembly only in the correct direction, completely avoiding reverse installation errors.

[0053] Preferably, the cable tray 3 is fixed to the base 1 by the base 11, the inner wall of the cable tray 3 housing is provided with a lead channel for guiding the cable, and one end of the cable tray 3 housing along its length is provided with a press-fit semi-plane 12.

[0054] In the above technical solution, when the sealing ring needs to be installed, the worker can place the wire in the lead-in channel of the wire groove 3 housing, so that the sealing ring abuts against the pressing half-plane 12. Then, the wire is pulled, and the wire drives the lamp to move. The sealing ring enters the sealing groove under the pressure of the lamp. During this process, the worker can align the sealing ring with the sealing groove with one hand and pull the wire with the other hand, thereby reducing the difficulty of pressing the sealing ring. Moreover, this solution does not require the lamp to be fixed on the workbench, so it is more convenient to move the lamp. There is no need for fixing and disassembly steps, and there is no need to adopt a large-volume design, which reduces the equipment cost and improves the ease of use.

[0055] Preferably, the matrix 11 is made of modified polypropylene, polyethylene or ABS.

[0056] In the above technical solution, since the plastic matrix 11 does not need to rub against the wire, the requirement for tensile strength is low. It only needs to meet the requirements of light weight and low price. ABS is an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, which is a recyclable material. After it is scrapped, it can be crushed and reused, which meets the requirements of green manufacturing.

[0057] Preferably, the material of the housing of the cable tray 3 is one of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and titanium alloy.

[0058] In the above technical solutions, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and titanium alloy have low density, are lightweight metals, and have high tensile strength, which can meet the requirements of tensile strength and light weight of the casing of the wire groove 3.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9Preferably, a press-fit housing 13 is detachably installed on the housing of the wire channel 3. The end face of one end of the press-fit housing 13 is aligned with the press-fit half-plane 12, and the press-fit housing 13 and the housing of the wire channel 3 are connected to form a press-fit full-plane.

[0060] In the above technical solution, the detachable design enables the installation and removal of the press-fit housing 13, thereby facilitating the placement of the wire into the wire channel 3 housing and the press-fit housing 13; the end alignment structure ensures that the press-fit housing 13 and the wire channel 3 housing form a complete press-fit plane, avoiding tilting or deformation of the sealing ring due to positioning deviation during the press-fit process, improving the sealing assembly accuracy. At the same time, since the press-fit housing 13 and the wire channel 3 housing together form a complete press-fit plane, when pressing the sealing ring, only the wire needs to be pulled once to install the sealing ring on the lamp, without the need to rotate the sealing ring and the lamp for secondary press-fit.

[0061] For example, a slot is provided on the top of the wire guide 3 housing, and a tongue is provided at the bottom of the press-fit housing 13 to be inserted into the slot, so that the tongue and the slot can be detachably connected; another example is that the wire guide 3 housing and the press-fit housing 13 are connected by a magnetic attraction component, which includes a first magnet installed on the wire guide 3 housing and a second magnet installed on the press-fit housing 13.

[0062] Preferably, the base 1 is provided with a label slot 5, which is used to place a nameplate so that production line workers can identify the model of the fixture 4.

[0063] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
