Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling tray technology, specifically to a marking structure for tooling trays. It aims to solve the problem of wear and detachment of markings caused by external forces such as friction and compression during the transfer and stacking of tooling trays, and to ensure the long-term clarity and traceability of the markings. Background Technology

[0002] In actual production, tooling trays frequently undergo transfer and stacking operations. During these processes, mechanical friction, compression, and collisions between trays or between trays and equipment can cause the following typical problems with surface identification markings:

[0003] (1) Wear and tear. When markings, especially printed ink or sticker markings, come into direct contact with and slide relative to the surface of adjacent trays, the ink layer or sticker substrate is easily scratched, resulting in blurred characters / patterns, broken lines or even complete disappearance; although metal engraved markings are resistant to friction, they may become difficult to identify due to oxidation or deformation of the contact surface during long-term stacking.

[0004] (2) Detachment problem. Due to the insufficient durability of adhesive, adhesive labels are prone to peeling, delamination or even detachment under repeated pressure, temperature and humidity changes or solvent corrosion, ultimately losing their function as information carriers.

[0005] (3) Information failure risk. Wear or detachment of labels directly leads to the loss of key information such as material batch and specifications, which in turn causes accidents such as mislabeling and incorrect material tray loading on the production line. In severe cases, it may lead to the scrapping of the entire batch of products due to failure of material traceability, increasing the cost of quality control and the risk of production stoppage.

[0006] With the advancement of intelligent manufacturing, the high reliability, long lifespan, and anti-interference capabilities of tooling tray markings have become crucial for ensuring accurate material traceability and production line efficiency. However, existing technologies have not yet provided a systematic solution to the core pain point of "mechanical damage during transfer and stacking." There is an urgent need for a new technology that balances protection, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness to address the problem of material information failure caused by marking wear / detachment. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention aims to address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by developing an identification structure that can effectively protect the surface identification marks of tooling trays and prevent them from wearing off during transfer and stacking. This is of great significance for improving the reliability of material management and reducing quality risks in the fields of electronic manufacturing and industrial automation.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0009] A marking structure for a tooling tray includes a tooling tray with a detachable label on its top surface. The top surface of the tooling tray has a mounting groove for accommodating the label, which is movably placed flat within the mounting groove. The groove opening has a retaining edge formed at the midpoint of its left and right sides, extending towards each other along the plane of the groove opening to block the left and right sides of the label. The gap between the bottom surface of the retaining edge and the bottom of the mounting groove is greater than the thickness of the label, creating space for the label to move up and down within the mounting groove. When the label is tilted to its limit in the front-to-back direction, its front and rear edges are precisely located at the bottom edge and the opening edge of the mounting groove, respectively, and the top surface of the label is in contact with the edge of the bottom surface of the retaining edge.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] (1) The sign is installed in the mounting slot rather than directly exposed on the top surface of the tooling tray. This reduces the probability of wear and detachment of the sign due to mechanical external force from both physical isolation and dynamic buffering when the tooling tray is transferred and stacked, and significantly extends the clear maintenance period of the sign.

[0012] (2) When the sign is tilted to the limit in the front-to-back direction in the mounting groove, its front and back edges are exactly located at the bottom edge of the mounting groove and the opening edge of the mounting groove, respectively. In this position, the sign can be removed from the mounting groove with tweezers for easy replacement.

[0013] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 1. Tooling tray; 2. Label; 3. Mounting groove; 4. Edge guard; 5. Operating port; 6. Clearance groove. Detailed Implementation

[0020] Combination Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a marking structure for a tooling tray 1, including a tooling tray 1, wherein a detachably connectable label 2 is provided on the top surface of the tooling tray 1; the top surface of the tooling tray 1 is provided with a mounting groove 3 for accommodating the label 2, and the label 2 is movably placed flat in the mounting groove 3; the groove opening of the mounting groove 3 forms a retaining edge 4 at the middle of the left and right sides, and the retaining edges 4 extend towards each other along the plane where the groove opening is located, for blocking the left and right sides of the label 2; the gap between the bottom surface of the retaining edge 4 and the bottom of the mounting groove 3 is greater than the thickness of the label 2, for forming a space for the label 2 to move up and down in the mounting groove 3; when the label 2 is tilted to its limit in the front-back direction, its front and rear sides are exactly located at the bottom edge of the mounting groove 3 and the opening edge of the mounting groove 3, respectively, and the top surface of the label 2 is exactly in contact with the edge of the bottom surface of the retaining edge 4.

[0021] In the above embodiment, the sign 2 can move up and down in the mounting groove 3. Even when the sign 2 is tilted to the limit in the front-back direction, the edges on its front and back sides can only be located at the bottom edge of the mounting groove 3 and the opening edge of the mounting groove 3, respectively. Furthermore, the top surface of the sign 2 is in contact with the bottom edge of the baffle 4. Therefore, under the restriction of the baffle 4, the sign 2 cannot freely come out of the mounting groove 3.

[0022] In the above embodiments, the label 2 is not directly exposed on the top surface of the tooling tray 1, and can move up and down in the mounting groove 3. This reduces the probability of wear and detachment of the label due to mechanical external force from both physical isolation and dynamic buffering dimensions when the tooling tray 1 is transferred and stacked, and significantly extends the clear maintenance period of the label.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the sign 2 is tilted to its limit in the front-to-back direction within the mounting groove 3, its front and rear edges are exactly located at the bottom edge and the opening edge of the mounting groove 3, respectively. In this position, the sign 2 can be removed from the mounting groove 3 using tweezers for easy replacement.

[0024] Better, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the tooling tray 1 is also provided with an operating port 5 that communicates with the rear edge of the mounting groove 3. The left and right widths of the operating port 5 are smaller than those of the nameplate 2, making it easier to insert tweezers into the operating port 5 to pick up the nameplate 2.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the depth of the operating port 5 is greater than that of the mounting groove 3, and the bottom of the mounting groove 3 forms a clearance groove 6 with the same depth as the operating port 5. The clearance groove 6 is exactly connected to the front end of the operating port 5. With this configuration, when the sign 2 is placed flat, it can be directly grasped by inserting tweezers into the operating port 5 and the clearance groove 6 to tilt it and then remove it.

[0026] Better, such as Figure 2 As shown, the operating port 5 and the mounting groove 3 are aligned in the left and right directions, so that when the tweezers pick up the label 2, they can roughly hold it in the middle of the label 2. Therefore, the force on the left and right sides of the label 2 is more balanced, which makes it easier to operate.

[0027] Better, such as Figure 2 As shown, the corners where the guard edge 4 and the groove of the mounting groove 3 meet are rounded, which is both aesthetically pleasing and, to a certain extent, increases the blocking range of the sign 2, making it more difficult for the sign 2 to fall out of the mounting groove 3.

[0028] Preferably, a QR code is provided on the top surface of the sign 2. Of course, other identification marks can be provided on the top surface of the sign 2.

[0029] 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.
