Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flexible manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a flexible line processing structure for small-batch, multi-variety products. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as machining and electronic component manufacturing, small-batch, multi-variety production has become the mainstream trend in the industry. The core demand of this model is to meet the rapid switching processing needs of products with different specifications and structures, while ensuring processing efficiency and quality stability. However, the structural design of existing processing lines is difficult to adapt to this demand, and significant shortcomings have been exposed in actual production.

[0003] In current small-batch, multi-variety product processing, the adaptable fixtures have significant limitations. Most fixtures are dedicated structures designed for specific products or have only a limited adjustment range. This not only results in poor versatility but also necessitates complete disassembly and replacement of the corresponding fixture when changing products, leading to cumbersome operations, significant line changeover time, and an inability to achieve rapid switching. Some adjustable fixtures also suffer from limited adjustment dimensions, making them incompatible with products exhibiting significant shape differences and multi-dimensional specification variations. Furthermore, the adjustment process relies on precise manual calibration, which is prone to operational errors leading to insufficient positioning accuracy and consequently affecting the consistency of processing quality. Simultaneously, the lack of continuity in the processing process further exacerbates the efficiency problem. Existing processing lines lack integrated, flexible structures adapted to small-batch, multi-variety production. Fixture changes and product switchovers require downtime, creating production interruptions and significantly reducing the effective processing time per unit time. Furthermore, the lack of coordinated design between different processes necessitates repeated manual intervention for product transfer and positioning between processing stations, extending the production cycle. In addition, the fixed processing line structure prevents flexible adjustments to station layout or processing paths based on product type and processing steps, further disrupting the processing flow. These issues of insufficient fixture adaptability and poor processing continuity interact, making it difficult for the existing processing structure to balance production changeover efficiency and processing quality. Overall processing efficiency remains low, failing to meet the industry's actual demand for efficient and flexible production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a flexible line processing structure for small-batch, multi-variety products.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flexible line processing structure for small batches of multi-variety products, including a base, a rotating platform provided on one side of the base, four circumferentially distributed shells embedded in the side of the base away from the rotating platform, and a rotating plate provided on the inner side of the shells, and four inclined grooves circumferentially opened on the inner side of the rotating plate, and a guide rod for sliding cooperation with the inner side of each inclined groove. The guide rod is fitted with a sliding rod at the end away from the platform, and the sliding rod extends through to the outside of the outer shell. A movable clamping component is snapped onto the end of the sliding rod located on the outside of the outer shell.

[0006] Preferably, the number of guide rods and sliding rods matches the number of inclined slots, and the sliding rods contact the inner wall of the housing and slide against each other.

[0007] Preferably, the outer end of the housing located on the outside of the base and the inner side of the movable clamping member are both adhesively fitted with contact layers.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating rod is fixedly inserted at the inner axis of the rotating plate, and a gear is fixedly inserted at the end of the rotating rod away from the rotating plate on the same axis.

[0009] Preferably, gear one meshes with gear two on the surface of gear one, and there are four of each gear one and gear two. Gear one and gear two correspond to each other with the outer shell. A support rod is fixedly inserted into the inner axis of gear two, and the support rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the base.

[0010] Preferably, the four gears are meshed together with a main gear, and a shaft is fixedly inserted into the inner axis of the main gear, and the shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side of the base.

[0011] Preferably, a drive motor is mounted on the side of the base away from the rotating platform via a mounting bracket, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the shaft via a coupling.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surface of the base near the rotating platform is fitted with mounting parts arranged at equal intervals, and the mounting parts are fixed to the rotating platform by bolts.

[0013] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. During product processing, this device has multi-station synchronous clamping capability, and the clamping positions of the four products can be flexibly arranged according to actual production needs. For example, the station allocation can be completed according to the standard process of loading—processing—unloading. When production needs involve multiple processing stages, the loading and unloading functions can be integrated into one station, allowing a single operator to complete the loading and unloading operations simultaneously. The other three stations can be set up with three different processing steps. During operation, the product can gradually pass through each processing station according to the preset production process, realizing flexible product processing and enabling rapid switching of the product to the target station through rotation drive. This effectively reduces repeated transfer operations caused by product processing stage switching in the workshop and improves the overall production flow efficiency. 2. During the rotation of the rotating plate, the sliding engagement between the guide rod and the inclined groove directly affects the relative position of the moving rod and the outer shell, thereby driving the moving rod to move directionally along the inner wall of the outer shell, and simultaneously causing the moving clamping component to move closer to or away from the center of the outer shell. In practical applications, the moving clamping component achieves precise clamping and fixation of the product by moving closer to the center. This structural design allows for the adaptive clamping of products of different sizes. Under the precise control of the drive motor, the moving clamping component can adjust to the corresponding movement range according to the actual size of the product, ensuring reliable clamping effect for products of different specifications. 3. When the product and base rotate with the rotating platform, for loading or unloading operations, the moving clamps must be released after the product has completed the station change. Simultaneously, the processing station can adaptively adjust the product's placement angle on the outer shell surface according to actual processing needs. This design provides convenience for product station changes and facilitates the synchronous opening and closing of the moving clamps. This processing structure is suitable for continuous processing of the same batch of products. When changing product batches or adjusting product specifications, all work-in-process on the base must be unloaded before starting the processing flow for the new batch, ensuring the standardization of the production process and the precision of product processing. 4. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the product to be processed, place the product on the designated area of ​​the outer shell surface, and make the product within the encirclement of multiple movable clamping parts; at this time, the contact layer set on the outer shell surface can form a close fit and support with the bottom of the product, and during the process of the movable clamping parts moving towards the product and performing clamping action, the contact layer on the inner side of the movable clamping parts and the contact part with the outer side of the product can form flexible protection for the product. Through the design of the contact layer, the risk of scratches, wear and other accidental damage to the product during the clamping process is effectively reduced, ensuring the appearance integrity and processing accuracy of the product after clamping.

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example

[0018] refer to Figures 1-5 A flexible line processing structure for small-batch, multi-variety products includes a base 100, a rotating platform 900 on one side of the base 100, four circumferentially distributed outer shells 200 embedded in the side of the base 100 away from the rotating platform 900, and a rotating plate 201 on the inner side of the outer shell 200. The inner side of the rotating plate 201 is provided with four circumferentially shaped grooves 202, and each groove 202 is provided with a guide rod 203 for sliding cooperation with it. The guide rod 203 is fitted with a sliding rod 300 at the end away from the platform, and the sliding rod 300 extends through to the outside of the housing 200. The end of the sliding rod 300 located on the outside of the housing 200 is snapped with a movable clamping member 301.

[0019] Specifically, during product processing, the device features multi-station synchronous clamping capability, and the clamping positions of the four products can be flexibly arranged according to actual production needs. For example, the station allocation can be completed according to the standard process of loading—processing—unloading. When production needs involve multiple processing stages, the loading and unloading functions can be integrated into one station, allowing a single operator to simultaneously complete the loading and unloading operations. The other three stations can be configured with three different processing steps. During operation, the product can gradually pass through each processing station according to the preset production process, achieving flexible product processing and enabling rapid switching of the product to the target station through rotary drive. This effectively reduces repeated transfer operations caused by product processing stage switching within the workshop, improving overall production flow efficiency.

[0020] The number of guide rods 203 and moving rods 300 matches the number of inclined grooves 202, and the moving rods 300 contact the inner wall of the housing 200 and slide together. The outer end of the housing 200 located on the outside of the base 100 and the inner side of the moving clamp 301 are both bonded with contact layers 400.

[0021] Specifically, the linear movement of the guide rod 203 can synchronously drive the moving rod 300 to move accordingly. The moving rod 300 and the inner wall of the outer shell 200 are slidably connected. This connection structure provides a low-friction coefficient motion environment for the movement of the moving rod 300 on the one hand, and guides its movement on the other hand, ensuring that the moving rod 300 can move smoothly within the preset stroke range. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the product to be processed, the product is placed in a designated area on the surface of the housing 200, and the product is within the enclosed range of multiple movable clamping members 301. At this time, the contact layer 400 provided on the surface of the housing 200 can form a close fit and support with the bottom of the product. During the process of the movable clamping member 301 moving towards the product and performing the clamping action, the contact layer 400 on the inner side of the movable clamping member 301 and the contact part with the outer side of the product can form a flexible protection for the product. Through the design of the contact layer 400, the risk of accidental damage such as scratches and wear to the product during the clamping process is effectively reduced, ensuring the appearance integrity and processing accuracy of the product after clamping.

[0022] A rotating rod 500 is fixedly inserted into the inner axis of the rotating plate 201, and a gear 501 is fixedly inserted into the coaxial end of the rotating rod 500 away from the rotating plate 201. A gear 600 meshes with the surface of the gear 501. There are four gears 501 and four gears 600. Both gears 501 and 600 correspond to the outer shell 200. A support rod 601 is fixedly inserted into the inner axis of the gear 600, and the support rod 601 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the base 100.

[0023] Specifically, during the rotation of gear 2 600, stable support is obtained on the inner side of base 100 through support rod 601; and the rotational connection between support rod 601 and base 100 provides a matching guarantee for the smooth rotation of gear 2 600. Based on the meshing transmission characteristics of gear 1 501 and gear 2 600, precise meshing transmission between gear 2 600 and gear 1 501 can be achieved. At this time, gear 1 501, through coaxial installation, synchronously drives the rotating rod 500 and the rotating plate 201 to rotate synchronously and smoothly, ensuring that the rotational angular velocity of the rotating rod 500 and the rotating plate 201 is consistent with that of gear 1 501, thus ensuring the synchronicity and reliability of the transmission process.

[0024] The four gears 600 mesh together with the main gear 602. The inner shaft of the main gear 602 is fixedly inserted with the shaft 700, and the shaft 700 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the base 100. The side of the base 100 away from the rotating platform 900 is fitted with the drive motor 701 by a mounting bracket, and the output end of the drive motor 701 is fixedly sleeved with the shaft 700 by a coupling.

[0025] Specifically, during the operation of the drive motor 701, the synchronous drive shaft 700 and the main gear 602 rotate smoothly; the four gears 600 evenly distributed around the outer circumference of the main gear 602 transmit power by relying on the inherent characteristics of gear meshing transmission, and during this meshing transmission process, the rotation direction of the four gears 600 remains synchronous and consistent, ensuring the coordination and stability of the multi-gear transmission. The drive motor 701 is mounted and supported on one side of the base 100 by a snap-fit ​​assembly structure between the mounting bracket and the base 100, which ensures the operational stability of the drive motor 701 and provides a reliable guarantee for the stable realization of subsequent gear transmission and related functions.

[0026] The outer surface of the base 100 near the rotating platform 900 is fitted with mounting parts 800 arranged at equal intervals, and the mounting parts 800 are fixed to the rotating platform 900 by bolts.

[0027] Specifically, in the use of the rotary platform 900, this structure is an existing mature technology, which will not be described in detail here. Through the cooperation of the mounting part 800 and the external bolts, a firm and tight installation with the base 100 is achieved. After the rotary platform 900 is started, it can stably drive the base 100 to rotate smoothly in a circular motion. This provides the workstation switching function required in the processing flow for the base 100 and related components and products assembled on it, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the processing procedure switching.

[0028] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During product processing, this device can reliably clamp and fix the product, providing a stable guarantee for the accurate implementation of subsequent processing steps. This device has multi-station synchronous clamping capability, enabling the simultaneous and reliable clamping and fixing of four products. The clamping positions of the four products can be flexibly arranged according to actual production needs, such as completing the station allocation according to the standard process of loading—processing—unloading. When production needs involve multiple processing stages, the loading and unloading functions can be integrated into one station, allowing a single operator to simultaneously complete the loading and unloading operations. The other three stations can be respectively arranged for three different processing steps.

[0029] After the rotating platform 900 starts running, it will drive the base 100 and the clamped and fixed products to rotate synchronously, so that the products can pass through each processing station step by step according to the preset production process. This not only realizes the flexible processing of products, but also enables the rapid switching of products to the target station through rotation drive, effectively reducing the repeated transfer operations caused by product processing links in the workshop and improving the overall production flow efficiency.

[0030] In practical use, the operator places the product on a designated area of ​​the outer casing 200, ensuring the product is within the enclosure of multiple movable clamping parts 301. Then, the drive motor 701 is activated. The drive motor 701 rotates the shaft 700 and the main gear 602. At this time, the four gears 600, evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer side of the main gear 602, transmit power based on the inherent characteristics of gear meshing. During the rotation of the gears 600, they mesh with gear 501. Gear 501, through coaxial mounting, synchronously drives the rotating rod 500 and the rotating plate 201 to rotate synchronously and smoothly.

[0031] During the rotation of the rotating plate 201, the moving rod 300 achieves a linkage connection with the rotating plate 201 through the cooperation design of the guide rod 203 and the inclined groove 202. Since the moving rod 300 is constrained by the inner wall of the outer shell 200 and cannot produce angular displacement, when the rotation of the rotating plate 201 causes a change in the angle of the inclined groove 202, the sliding cooperation between the guide rod 203 and the inclined groove 202 directly affects the relative positional relationship between the moving rod 300 and the outer shell 200. This drives the moving rod 300 to move directionally along the inner wall of the outer shell 200, and simultaneously drives the moving clamping component 301 to move closer to or away from the center of the outer shell 200. In the application scenario, the moving clamping component 301 initially maintains a preset distance from the center of the outer shell 200. After the product is placed and positioned stably, the moving clamping component 301 achieves precise clamping and fixing of the product by moving closer to the center.

[0032] When the product and base 100 rotate with the rotating platform 900, for the operation requirements of the loading or unloading station, the clamping and fixing of the moving clamp 301 on the product must be released after the product has completed the station change. At the same time, the processing station can adaptively adjust the placement angle of the product on the surface of the outer shell 200 according to the actual processing requirements. This design not only provides convenience for product station switching, but also realizes the convenient operation of synchronous opening and closing of the moving clamp 301. This processing structure is suitable for continuous processing of products in the same batch. When it is necessary to change the product batch or adjust the product specifications, it is necessary to ensure that all work-in-process above the base 100 has completed the unloading operation before the processing flow of the new batch of products can be started, so as to ensure the standardization of the production process and the product processing accuracy.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
