Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a rotating workstation with a workstation unlocking mechanism, and belongs to the technical field of automation equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A rotary worktable, also known as a swivel workbench, is a carrier with a rotatable table surface used to carry workpieces and achieve rotation and indexing positioning, meeting the needs of automated workstation layout and switching.
[0003] Traditional rotary workstations only have the requirement of carrying workpieces. That is, the carrier on the rotating switching workstation has the function of carrying workpieces. In order to ensure the stability of carrying workpieces, a locking structure is usually set up to meet the requirements of the rotary switching workstation for securing the workpieces. This prevents problems such as products falling off during the switching process.
[0004] In the existing technology, there is a process for filling tubular structures, which requires loading empty tubes and then passing them through filling and leveling stations before unloading. In the design of the tube stations, it is necessary to ensure the locking of the tubes during station switching, and to release the tubes during loading / unloading and leveling stations.
[0005] Currently, rotary workstations cannot perform locking and unlocking operations on workstations. In addition, there are certain diameter differences in the pipes, and while unlocking is required during vibration, the vibration gap also needs to be limited to prevent the risk of material spillage and tipping. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a rotary worktable with a worktable unlocking mechanism, which addresses the problem that traditional rotary worktables cannot meet the requirements of unlocking and maintaining gaps at specific workstations.

The tube carrier includes a carrier body with a insertion slot and an opening and closing mechanism provided on the carrier body for locking or releasing the tube. The loading / unloading station and the vibrating leveling station are respectively equipped with unlocking mechanisms for driving the opening / closing mechanism to loosen the tube body.
[0008] Preferably, the opening and closing mechanism includes two pipe clamps with opening and closing displacements, the two pipe clamps respectively have relative elastic displacements, each pipe clamp has a radially extending outer end, and each of the two pipe clamps has at least one driving roller on its outer end. The unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking fork with linear displacement. The unlocking fork is provided with two outwardly expanding forks that correspond one-to-one with the outer end. Each outwardly expanding fork is provided with an inclined driving wall for driving the tube clamp to separate relative to each other.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating platform has a central through hole, the base body has a central platform protruding through the central through hole, and the unlocking mechanism is disposed on the central platform.
[0010] Preferably, the vibrating and leveling station is provided with two unlocking mechanisms arranged opposite to each other, and the two unlocking mechanisms of the vibrating and leveling station have a difference in the spacing between their outward-expanding forks.
[0011] Preferably, the carrier body is provided with wings that are slidably engaged with the pipe clamps, and a side stop is provided on the free end of any of the wings. An elastic body is provided between the side stop and the pipe clamp to force the pipe clamp to undergo relative elastic displacement.
[0012] Preferably, the vibratory leveling station includes a vibration mechanism disposed at the bottom of the rotating platform, and the bottom wall of the carrier body is provided with a through channel opposite to the insertion slot.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.
[0024] This utility model provides a rotating workstation with a workstation unlocking mechanism, such as Figure 2 As shown, it is used for filling tube 100.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a base body 1, on which a rotating platform 3 equipped with several tube carriers 2 is provided, and loading and unloading stations 31, filling stations 32, and vibrating stations 33 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the rotating platform 3.
[0026] The tube carrier 2 includes a carrier body 4 with a insertion slot 40 and an opening and closing mechanism 5 provided on the carrier body 4 for locking or releasing the tube.
[0027] The loading / unloading station 31 and the vibrating leveling station 33 are respectively equipped with unlocking mechanisms 6 for driving the opening and closing mechanism 5 to loosen the tube body.
[0028] Detailed implementation process and principle explanation: During the filling operation, the unlocking mechanism 6 of the loading / unloading station 31 triggers the opening / closing mechanism 5 to release the tube body 100. At this time, the tube body 100 is placed in the insertion slot 40 of the tube body carrier 2. After the loading is completed, the unlocking mechanism 6 retracts, and the opening / closing mechanism 5 locks the tube body on the tube body carrier 2.
[0029] Switch the station to the filling station 32 to carry out the filling operation. After the filling is completed, the rotating platform 3 switches the station to the vibrating and leveling station 33. At this time, the unlocking mechanism 6 performs the unlocking operation. The pipe body vibrates in the insertion slot 40 to avoid the workpiece. The vibrating and leveling station 33 performs the vibrating and leveling operation.
[0030] After the vibration leveling operation is completed, the unlocking mechanism 6 of the filling station 32 is disengaged. After the filled pipe is locked, it is switched to the loading and unloading station. At this time, the unlocking operation is carried out to unload the filled pipe.
[0031] In one specific embodiment, the opening and closing mechanism 5 includes two pipe clamps 51 with opening and closing displacements. The two pipe clamps 51 have relative elastic displacements. Each pipe clamp 51 has a radially extending extension end 511. At least one drive roller 512 is provided on the extension end of each of the two pipe clamps.
[0032] The unlocking mechanism 6 includes an unlocking fork 61 with linear displacement. The unlocking fork 61 is provided with two outwardly extending forks 611 that correspond one-to-one with the outer end. Each outwardly extending fork is provided with an inclined driving wall 612 for driving the tube clamp to separate relative to each other.
[0033] Specifically, the pipe clamp 51 is initially in an elastically clamped state. When the pipe body 100 is loaded, the unlocking fork 61 moves horizontally linearly toward the opening and closing mechanism 5. The inclined drive wall 612 of the outward expansion fork 611 squeezes the drive roller 512, thereby forcing the two pipe clamps 51 to separate. At this time, the insertion slot 40 is exposed, and the pipe body 100 is embedded and mounted.
[0034] After the unlocking fork retracts, the two pipe clamps 51 elastically reset, clamping and locking the pipe body 100.
[0035] Of course, the above refers to mechanical opening and closing drive structures. Whether it is a mechanical or contact-type opening and closing locking trigger mechanism, it is within the scope of protection of this case.
[0036] In one specific embodiment, the rotating platform 3 is provided with a central through hole 30, and the base body 1 is provided with a central platform 10 protruding through the central through hole, and the unlocking mechanism 6 is provided on the central platform.
[0037] The design of the central through-hole and central platform facilitates the installation of the unlocking mechanism 6, resulting in a more compact overall layout.
[0038] In one specific embodiment, the vibrating station 33 is provided with two oppositely arranged unlocking mechanisms 6, and the two unlocking mechanisms of the vibrating station have a difference in the spacing between the outward-expanding forks.
[0039] Specifically, the pipes have a certain diameter difference. During vibration operation, in order to ensure the vibration space, there is a requirement for the gap between the outer peripheral wall of the pipe and the insertion groove 40. Through two differentiated unlocking mechanisms 6, the vibration gap of the pipes with different specifications can be adjusted, so that the vibration leveling effect and stability can be guaranteed.
[0040] In one specific embodiment, the carrier body 4 is provided with wings 41 that correspond one-to-one with sliding connecting pipe clamps, and a side stop 42 is provided on the free end of any wing. An elastic body 43 is provided between the side stop and the pipe clamp to force the pipe clamp to elastically displace relative to each other.
[0041] By incorporating the elastomer 43, the requirement that the two pipe clamps initially maintain a relative clamping state is met.
[0042] In one specific embodiment, the vibratory leveling station 33 includes a vibration mechanism 7 disposed at the bottom of the rotating platform, and a through channel 44 opposite to the insertion slot is provided on the bottom wall of the carrier body 4. The vibration mechanism 7 is provided with a vibration end 70 having lifting displacement for passing through the rotating platform and the through channel 44 to fit the tube body.
[0043] During the vibration leveling operation, the vibrating end 70 is lifted and then comes into contact with the bottom of the tube body 100 to perform the vibration leveling operation. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a certain vibration gap between the tube body 100 and the insertion groove 40 after unlocking.
[0044] In one specific embodiment, a filling mechanism 8 is provided on the filling station 32, and the filling mechanism 8 is provided with a filling part that has lifting and adjusting displacement.
[0045] Material is filled into the pipe body 100 through the filler section.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the base body 1 is provided with a material detection unit 11 that corresponds to the loading and unloading station, the filling station, and the vibrating and leveling station respectively; the pipe carrier 2 is provided with a detection window 20 that is opposite to the material detection unit.
[0047] The detection window 20 provides relative detection alignment for the material detection unit 11, satisfying the monitoring of workstations and the presence or absence of materials, and realizing automated monitoring of turnover.
[0048] As described above, this invention enables automated tube filling, fulfilling the needs of tube locking and loading / unloading in the rotation switching position, as well as the loosening operation at the filling station, with efficient and smooth operation. It meets the differentiated unlocking requirements of the filling station and adapts to the needs of tubes of different sizes. The opening and closing mechanism and the unlocking mechanism are designed in a simple and ingenious manner, while the unlocking mechanism has high space utilization, resulting in a more compact overall layout.
[0049] The term "comprising" or any other similar term is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus / device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent in such process, method, article, or apparatus / device.
[0050] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
