Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a product installation and positioning device for intelligent manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production, inspection, or packaging lines, precise positioning and fixing of workpieces are frequently required. For workpieces made of rigid materials (such as metals and hard plastics), matching rigid fixtures are typically used for positioning and clamping via pins, holes, or jaws. This method offers high positioning accuracy and rigidity. However, for many fragile, easily scratched, or complex curved workpieces (such as certain optical components, plastic housings, and silicone products), direct contact clamping with rigid fixtures can easily lead to surface damage or internal stress concentration, resulting in breakage.

[0003] To address these issues, the industry has increasingly adopted the practice of adding transition plates or buffer pads made of elastic materials (such as rubber, silicone, and polyurethane) between the rigid workpiece and the clamp. These elastic workpieces effectively protect the clamped product, and their own deformation capacity can compensate for certain dimensional tolerances. However, due to their soft and easily deformable nature, these elastic workpieces face significant challenges in accurately and stably positioning them on the clamping base. Positioning accuracy is difficult to guarantee: When traditional positioning methods (such as using the same cylindrical pin and round hole as rigid workpieces) are applied to elastic workpieces, local deformation of the workpiece during the insertion process will cause misalignment between the positioning pin and the positioning hole, resulting in poor repeatability of the final installation position of the workpiece, which cannot meet the requirements of high-precision operation.

[0004] Insufficient clamping stability: If only the frictional force of the elastic workpiece is relied upon to prevent relative movement between it and the base, the workpiece is prone to slippage or displacement under the action of vibration or inertial force generated by the operation of the equipment, which poses a safety hazard and affects the processing or assembly quality.

[0005] Poor ease of operation: If the locating pin is forcibly inserted into the elastic hole that is interference-fitted with the pin diameter, the insertion force will be very large, making operation difficult. Moreover, repeated insertion and removal over a long period of time can easily cause permanent deformation or tearing of the elastic locating hole, shortening the service life of the workpiece. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a product installation and positioning device for intelligent manufacturing, providing a positioning device specifically designed for the characteristics of elastic workpieces, which can achieve both rapid and convenient initial installation and ensure high precision and high stability in the final clamping state.

[0007] On one hand, the product installation and positioning device for intelligent manufacturing according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: Clamping base; At least two clamping assemblies are disposed on the clamping base, the clamping assemblies including upwardly facing inserts capable of being inserted into slots for inserting workpieces; A clamping drive assembly is used to drive multiple clamping assemblies to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping drive assembly is capable of driving at least one of the plurality of clamping assemblies to move.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly further includes a first bracket, the plug is disposed on the first bracket, the first bracket is provided with a limiting groove, the limiting groove is used to place the workpiece, and the limiting groove can abut against the peripheral wall of the workpiece.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly further includes a guide rail, and the first bracket is slidable along the guide rail.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly further includes an elastic reset member, which is disposed in the limiting groove. The elastic reset member can abut against the peripheral wall of the workpiece, and the elastic reset member can be driven by elastic force to move the workpiece away from the wall surface where the limiting groove is located.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a position detection component is also included, which is disposed on the clamping base and is used to determine the position of the clamping component.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly is provided with at least two of the aforementioned plugs.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-section of the plug is circular or polygonal.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end of the plug is provided with a ball plug or a cone plug.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping base is provided with an identification component, which is used to detect whether there is a workpiece on the clamping base.

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model have at least the following beneficial effects: This product's installation and positioning device achieves high-precision and high-stability clamping and positioning of flexible materials through synergy with the elastic workpiece. Specifically, during installation, the inserts on the clamping assembly first insert into the wider area near the outer edge of the workpiece slot. This wider slot facilitates quick and smooth insertion of the inserts, achieving initial alignment and pre-fixation, significantly reducing alignment difficulty and improving operational efficiency. Subsequently, under the unified drive of the clamping drive assembly, multiple inserts move synchronously towards the interior of the workpiece, gradually entering the area where the slot width gradually narrows. As the inserts continue to move inward, the slot, due to the elastic recovery characteristics of the workpiece material, applies a gradually increasing radial compressive force to the inserts, forming an effective elastic wrapping and self-locking effect, thereby achieving secondary precise positioning. This process not only significantly improves alignment accuracy and connection rigidity but also maintains stability under vibration or motion conditions, preventing workpiece displacement or loosening.

[0018] Furthermore, this structure fully utilizes the elastic properties of the workpiece itself. Through the cooperation of the tapered groove and the plug-in, it achieves reliable locking while avoiding excessive compression or damage to the workpiece, thus extending its service life. The overall device has a reasonable structure and is suitable for intelligent manufacturing scenarios that require frequent assembly and disassembly and have high requirements for positioning repeatability.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-14 A basic embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a manufacturing system for intelligent manufacturing, comprising: 100 racks; The feeding device 200 is located on the frame 100. The feeding device 200 includes a material trough 220, which can hold multiple workpieces 800. The engraving device 300 includes an engraving machine mounted on a frame 100. The engraving device 300 is used to engrave the surface shape of a workpiece 800. The spraying device 400 includes a spraying mechanism for spraying paint onto the surface of the carved workpiece 800, thereby covering the surface of the workpiece 800 with paint. The printing device 500 includes a printer, which is mounted on a frame 100 and is used to print on the painted surface of a workpiece 800. The transport device 600 is located on the frame 100. The transport device 600 is used to transport the workpiece 800 sequentially from the feeding device 200, the engraving device 300, the spraying device 400, and the printing device 500.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, this arrangement achieves at least the following effects: the material trough 220 accommodates multiple workpieces 800, providing a foundation for continuous system operation. After the manufacturing system receives the pattern data to be engraved and printed, the transport device 600 transports the workpieces 800 from the loading device 200 to the engraving machine. The engraving machine precisely engraves the surface of the workpieces 800 according to the preset pattern, initially forming a pattern structure with a three-dimensional shape; at this time, the surface of the workpieces 800 is still relatively rough.

[0031] After the engraving process is completed, the transport device 600 sends the workpiece 800 into the spraying device 400. The spraying mechanism evenly sprays paint onto the surface of the engraved workpiece 800, forming a smooth and even paint surface, which not only enhances the appearance and texture but also provides an ideal base for subsequent printing processes.

[0032] Subsequently, workpiece 800 is conveyed to printing device 500, where the printer performs high-precision color printing based on the sprayed paint surface, making the pattern rich in color and clear in detail, ultimately forming a complete decorative image on workpiece 800.

[0033] A basic embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a processing method applied to a manufacturing system for intelligent manufacturing, comprising the following steps: Take out the workpiece 800; Engraving: Place workpiece 800 into the engraving machine and engrave the surface shape of workpiece 800. Cleaning: Remove burrs remaining on the workpiece surface after the engraving process (800 steps). Painting involves spraying paint onto the surface of the 800 workpiece after carving, thus covering the surface of the workpiece 800 with paint. Printing is performed on the painted surface of the workpiece 800. Disassembly: The workpiece 800 is broken down into the mounting plate and the product.

[0034] It also includes the following steps: Cleaning removes burrs and debris remaining on the surface of workpiece 800 after the engraving process. This cleaning step removes burrs and debris generated during engraving, ensuring even paint adhesion and improving the surface quality and appearance of the final product 820.

[0035] Disassembly involves breaking down workpiece 800 into mounting plate 810 and product 820. Workpiece 800 is quickly disassembled. Mounting workpiece 800 onto mounting plate 810 is equivalent to putting a protective cover on product 820, preventing damage to other parts of product 820 during processing and ensuring an aesthetically pleasing product.

[0036] It should be noted that both the engraving machine and printer used in this system are mature industrial equipment. The engraving machine uses CNC technology to achieve high-precision three-dimensional processing of various materials, capable of performing complex processes such as cutting, engraving, and hollowing, and is widely used in advertising production, craft processing, mold development, and other fields. In this system, its main function is to engrave the surface of the workpiece 800 into a preset three-dimensional shape. The printer is responsible for accurately outputting digital image information to the surface of the physical workpiece 800, achieving high-fidelity transfer from data to physical object, and reproducing the color and detail of the pattern.

[0037] It should be noted that the transport device 600 is a multi-axis robot, also known as a single-axis manipulator, electric slide, or linear module. It is an industrial automation device built using an XYZ Cartesian coordinate system as its mathematical model and driven by servo motors or stepper motors. Its core components include a controller, servo motors, reduction gear sets, and ball screws. The motion trajectory is generated through multi-point interpolation and supports guided teaching programming or coordinate positioning operations.

[0038] This equipment adopts a modular design, using an aluminum profile base to achieve both high strength and lightweight construction, enabling it to perform handling, positioning, transfer, and loading / unloading functions.

[0039] refer to Figures 2-3 In some embodiments, the feeding device 200 further includes a discharging mechanism 210. The trough 220 has a stacking area where multiple workpieces 800 can be stacked vertically. A discharge port is located at the bottom of the trough 220, and the discharging mechanism 210 can enter and exit the discharge port. The discharging mechanism 210 can drive the bottommost workpiece 800 out of the trough 220. The workpieces 800 are stacked vertically within the trough 220. The discharging mechanism 210 includes a linear motor that moves in a straight line. When the discharging mechanism 210 enters or exits the discharge port, it can push the bottommost workpiece 800 out of the trough 220. The workpieces 800 automatically fall under gravity, achieving continuous discharge and improving feeding efficiency.

[0040] In some embodiments, the engraving device 300 further includes a first clamping mechanism for clamping the workpiece 800 and fixing it in place. The first clamping mechanism is a product mounting and positioning device, which will be described in detail later. The first clamping mechanism is used to stably fix the workpiece 800 during the engraving process, ensuring engraving accuracy and processing quality, and preventing the pattern forming effect from being affected by the displacement of the workpiece 800.

[0041] In some embodiments, the printing process further includes a second clamping mechanism for clamping the workpiece 800 and fixing it in place. This second clamping mechanism is a product mounting and positioning device, used to stably fix the workpiece 800 during the printing process, ensuring engraving accuracy and processing quality, and preventing the workpiece 800 from shifting and affecting the printing effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, the painting mechanism includes: Rotating frame 411 is rotatably mounted on frame 100; Jet drive 412 is used to drive the rotating frame 411 to rotate; The jetting element 413 is located on the rotating frame 411, and the outlet of the jetting element 413 faces the workpiece 800. The jetting element 413 is capable of ejecting airflow. Paint can 414 is mounted on rotating frame 411, and the outlet of paint can 414 faces the outlet of jet 413.

[0043] In this setup, after the transport device 600 transports the workpiece 800 to the spraying device 400, the outlets of the jet nozzle 413 and the paint can 414 are arranged in an intersecting direction. After the jet nozzle 413 sprays gas, it creates a low pressure at the outlet of the paint can 414. The lower outlet pressure and higher internal pressure cause the paint in the can to be automatically discharged. Through the high-speed flow of the high-speed airflow, the paint is sprayed out as a mist. The jet nozzle 413 is oriented towards the workpiece 800, which can coat the surface of the workpiece 800. The rotating frame 411 can rotate relative to the workpiece 800, which can change the orientation of the jet nozzle 413, expand the coverage area, and achieve uniform spraying from multiple angles. Furthermore, by spraying paint back and forth, the paint thickness can be effectively increased, so that the paint surface completely covers the workpiece 800 after the initial carving, making the paint surface smoother and flatter, which is beneficial for subsequent printing. If the paint can 414 condenses into clumps at the outlet, the high-speed airflow can disperse the clumps, preventing the paint can 414 from becoming blocked and affecting subsequent operations.

[0044] In some embodiments, the jet drive 412 is a telescopic power member, with one end rotatably connected to the frame 100 and the other end rotatably connected to the rotating frame 411. The telescopic power member can drive the rotating frame 411 to rotate based on the frame 100. The jet drive 412 drives the rotating frame 411 to rotate around an axis through telescopic movement, realizing flexible adjustment of the spraying angle and enhancing the uniformity and adaptability of the spraying.

[0045] refer to Figures 4-6 In some embodiments, the spraying apparatus 400 further includes a cleaning mechanism, which includes: Box 421; Jet gun 422 is located in housing 421; The filter mechanism 423 includes an exhaust fan and an exhaust pipe. The exhaust fan is used to discharge the gas inside the housing 421, and the exhaust pipe is connected to the inside of the housing 421. The exhaust fan is located in the exhaust pipe. Drawer 424 is used to place workpiece 800. Drawer 424 can be inserted into or moved away from box 421.

[0046] This design isolates the painting area from the outside environment through the housing 421, preventing paint mist and debris from polluting the environment. The air gun 422 removes residual debris from the surface of the workpiece 800, which is collected within the housing 421. An exhaust fan expels dust-laden gas through an exhaust duct, and a filter mechanism 423 prevents harmful substances from escaping. The drawer-type structure 424 facilitates the clamping and retrieval of the workpiece 800, improving operational convenience and safety.

[0047] It should be noted that the jet nozzle of the jet gun 422 can be directed towards the workpiece 800 or towards the periphery of the workpiece 800. Directing it towards the workpiece 800 can directly blow away the burrs on the workpiece 800, while directing it towards the periphery of the workpiece 800 can promote circulation within the housing 421, dispersing the burrs into the housing 421, which is beneficial for exhaust fan exhaust.

[0048] In some embodiments, the housing 421 is provided with a front cover plate, which is detachably installed on the housing 421. The front cover plate is provided to facilitate maintenance of the internal structure of the housing 421.

[0049] In some embodiments, the housing 421 and the front cover are provided with a latch and a hook, and the latch and the hook cooperate to allow the front cover to be mounted on the housing 421.

[0050] In some embodiments, the front cover is provided with a handle. The handle facilitates the installation of the front cover.

[0051] In some embodiments, a placement platform is also included, which is disposed on the frame 100 and is used to place the workpiece 800.

[0052] In some embodiments, the placement platform is located on the positioning rod, which is used to position the workpiece 800.

[0053] In some embodiments, the paint can 414 is detachably mounted on the rotating frame 411. The detachable design of the paint can 414 facilitates the replacement and replenishment of paint, adapts to the production needs of multiple batches and multiple colors, and improves system flexibility and maintenance convenience.

[0054] In some embodiments, the rotating frame 411 is provided with an insertion hole, the axis of which points toward the outlet of the jet 413, and the paint can 414 is detachably mounted in the insertion hole. The insertion hole is configured to predetermine the orientation of the paint can 414, facilitating control over the orientation of the opening of the paint can 414.

[0055] In some embodiments, a filter element is provided. The filter element is used to filter impurities in the air and prevent air pollution.

[0056] In some embodiments, the housing 421 is provided with guide rails, and the drawer 424 can slide along the guide rails, allowing the drawer 424 to be inserted into or moved away from the housing 421. The guide rails guide the drawer 424 to slide smoothly, ensuring a sealed fit with the housing 421 when closed, and facilitating the loading and unloading of workpieces 800 when open, thereby improving operational efficiency and system sealing.

[0057] In some embodiments, the jetting element 413 is provided with a flow valve 415, which is used to control the flow rate of the jetting element 413. The flow valve 415 can precisely adjust the airflow speed, thereby controlling the amount of paint mist sprayed and the uniformity of coverage to meet the coating requirements of different workpieces 800.

[0058] Reference Figure 10-12 In some embodiments, a disassembly device 700 is also included, which is used to disassemble the workpiece 800 into a mounting plate 810 and a product 820. The disassembly device 700 is used to separate the product 820 from the mounting plate 810 after processing, which facilitates finished product collection and plate recycling, and achieves efficient disassembly and resource reuse.

[0059] In some embodiments, the disassembly device 700 includes: The second support 710 is provided on the frame 100. The second support 710 is provided with a positioning groove for placing the workpiece 800. The crimping mechanism 720 includes a crimping drive 721 and a crimping head 722. The crimping head 722 is provided with a first baffle 723. When the crimping head 722 approaches and crimps the mounting plate 810 portion of the workpiece 800, the first baffle 723 is located above the positioning groove. When the crimping head 722 moves away from the workpiece 800, the first baffle 723 moves away from the positioning groove along with the crimping head 722. The lifting head 730 is located in the positioning groove and can abut against the product 820 part of the workpiece 800.

[0060] In this configuration, the positioning groove is used to accommodate and initially position the workpiece 800, ensuring its stability during disassembly. During operation, the pressing mechanism 720 presses down under the action of the driving component, pressing down the mounting plate 810 portion of the workpiece 800 through the pressing joint 722; simultaneously, the lifting head 730 remains stationary, abutting against and lifting the product 820 portion of the workpiece 800. Through the coordinated action of the pressing joint 722 and the lifting head 730, opposing separation forces are formed between the mounting plate 810 and the product 820, thereby achieving rapid and smooth separation of the product 820 from the mounting plate. The first baffle 723 moves synchronously above the positioning groove when the pressing joint 722 approaches the workpiece 800, effectively blocking and limiting the product 820 at the moment of its release, effectively preventing the product 820 from popping out, excessively displacing, or falling due to the elastic recovery of the mounting plate 810 or the release of the lifting force, greatly improving the safety and reliability of the disassembly process and ensuring orderly collection of finished products. This ingenious structural design enables the simultaneous completion of separation and limiting functions, making it particularly suitable for automated disassembly of workpieces 800 with flexible connection structures.

[0061] It should be noted that the positioning groove does not have to be a mounting recess structure; it can also be a planar structure, as long as it can provide a position for placing the workpiece at 80°.

[0062] In some embodiments, the crimp connector 722 is rotatably and telescopically mounted on the second bracket 710. The crimping drive member 721 can drive the crimp connector 722 to rotate away from the workpiece 800, so that the crimp connector 722 is away from the workpiece 800 and positioned above the side of the positioning groove. The crimping drive member 721 can also drive the crimp connector 722 to rotate closer to the workpiece 800, so that the crimp connector 722 abuts against the workpiece 800 and is positioned directly above the positioning groove. The structure of the crimp connector 722 and the crimping drive member 721 can refer to existing telescopic rotary motors, which can drive the crimp connector 722 to perform telescopic and rotational movements. Through the rotation of the drive member, the crimp connector 722 can approach and abut against the workpiece 800 during crimping, and away from directly above the positioning groove when not crimping, preventing the transport device 600 from touching the crimp connector 722 when transporting the workpiece 800.

[0063] It should be noted that "directly above" refers to the area directly above the plane occupied by the positioning groove, while "side above" refers to the area not directly above the positioning groove within the area.

[0064] In some embodiments, at least two crimping mechanisms 720 are provided, and the two crimping mechanisms 720 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning groove. The symmetrical arrangement of the crimping joints 722 ensures that the workpiece 800 is subjected to balanced force, avoids positioning deviation or damage to the product 820 caused by uneven loading, and improves the stability and reliability of the disassembly process.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second bracket 710 is provided with a positioning shaft 711, which is used to position the mounting plate 810. The positioning shaft 711 engages with the holes on the mounting plate 810 to achieve precise positioning of the plate and ensure the accuracy of the pressing and lifting operations.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second bracket 710 is provided with a clamping groove 712 near the positioning groove, and the clamping groove 712 is recessed in the direction of approaching the positioning groove. The structure of the clamping groove 712 facilitates the gripper of the transport device 600 to grasp the workpiece 800, thereby improving the ease of operation and positioning accuracy of loading and unloading.

[0067] In some embodiments, the disassembly device 700 includes a tilting and discharging mechanism, and the second support 710 is rotatably mounted on the frame 100. The tilting and discharging mechanism includes: The flip drive 740 is used to drive the second bracket 710 to rotate; The second baffle 750 is located on one side of the second bracket 710; The material trough is located below the second baffle 750; After the flipping drive 740 drives the second bracket 710 to rotate, the product 820 can abut against the second baffle 750 under the action of rotational force.

[0068] The flipping drive 740 drives the second support 710 to rotate, and the centrifugal force causes the separated product 820 to be thrown out in a predetermined direction. The mounting plate 810 of the workpiece 800 is fixed by the pressing mechanism 720. The product 820 on the workpiece 800 floats on the surface. By rapidly rotating the second support 710, the product 820 can be detached from the second support 710 and abut against the second baffle 750. After being limited by the second baffle 750, it falls into the material tank, realizing automatic discharge and collection.

[0069] In some embodiments, the frame 100 is provided with a rotation limiting groove 110, which is arranged around the rotation direction of the second bracket 710. The second bracket 710 is provided with a limiting rod 713, which can slide along the rotation limiting groove 110. By driving the second bracket 710, the limiting rod 713 of the second bracket 710 can slide along the rotation limiting groove 110, thereby restricting the limiting rod 713 within the rotation limiting groove 110 and limiting the rotation angle of the second bracket 710.

[0070] In some embodiments, the angle between the width of the rotating limiting groove 110 and the axis of the second bracket 710 is 20-40 degrees. This angle range ensures that the product 820 can be effectively disengaged while avoiding impact or abnormal displacement caused by excessive flipping, thus optimizing the discharge effect.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second support 710 includes a positioning part, a rotating shaft part, and a rotating part from the inside out. A positioning groove is provided in the positioning part, the rotating shaft part is rotatably provided in the frame 100, and a limiting rod 713 is provided in the rotating part. The second support 710 adopts a modular structure design. The positioning part is responsible for positioning the workpiece 800, the rotating shaft part realizes the flipping function, and the rotating part cooperates with the control mechanism to ensure the motion accuracy and reliability of the system.

[0072] In some embodiments, a temporary storage rack 120 is also included. The temporary storage rack 120 is disposed on the rack 100 and has multiple storage positions for placing workpieces 800. The temporary storage rack 120 is used to temporarily store processed workpieces 800, which facilitates batch management and flexible scheduling, and improves the continuity of the production process and warehousing efficiency.

[0073] refer to Figure 8-9 In one embodiment, a product installation and positioning device for smart manufacturing. This device can be applied to a workpiece 800, which is made of an elastic material. At least two slots 812 are provided on the lower part of the workpiece 800, and the slots 812 are arranged opposite to each other. The width of the slots 812 decreases from the circumferential direction towards the interior of the workpiece 800. The product mounting and positioning device includes: Clamping base 910; At least two clamping assemblies 920 are disposed on the clamping base 910. Each clamping assembly 920 includes an upwardly positioned insert 921 for inserting into a slot 812 of the workpiece 800. The clamping drive assembly 930 is used to drive multiple clamping assemblies 920 to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0074] According to embodiments of the present invention, by such a configuration, at least the following effects can be achieved: The product 820 installation and positioning device, through its synergistic action with the elastic workpiece 800, achieves high-precision and high-stability clamping and positioning of flexible materials. Specifically, during installation, the insert 921 on the clamping assembly 920 first inserts into the wide area near the outer side of the slot 812 on the workpiece 800. The wider slot at this location facilitates the quick and smooth insertion of the insert 921, achieving initial alignment and pre-fixation, significantly reducing alignment difficulty and improving operational efficiency. Subsequently, under the unified drive of the clamping drive assembly 930, multiple inserts 921 move synchronously towards the interior of the workpiece 800, gradually entering the area where the slot width gradually narrows. As the inserts 921 continue to move inward, the slot 812, due to the elastic recovery characteristics of the workpiece 800 material, applies a gradually increasing radial compressive force to the inserts 921, forming an effective elastic wrapping and self-locking effect, thereby achieving secondary precise positioning. This process not only significantly improves alignment accuracy and connection rigidity but also maintains stability under vibration or motion conditions, preventing the workpiece 800 from shifting or loosening.

[0075] Furthermore, this structure fully utilizes the elastic properties of the workpiece 800 itself. Through the cooperation of the tapered slot 812 and the plug-in 921, reliable locking is achieved while avoiding excessive compression or damage to the workpiece 800, thus extending its service life. The overall device has a reasonable structure and is suitable for intelligent manufacturing scenarios that require frequent assembly and disassembly and have high requirements for positioning repeatability. It has good engineering applicability and promotional value.

[0076] In some embodiments, the clamping drive assembly 930 is capable of moving at least one of the plurality of clamping assemblies 920. Effective clamping can be achieved by the clamping drive assembly 930 moving only a portion of the plurality of clamping assemblies 920, while the remaining assemblies can be fixed in place. This configuration reduces the number of power components, lowers system complexity and manufacturing costs, while still ensuring reliable clamping performance.

[0077] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 920 further includes a first bracket, on which the insert 921 is disposed. The first bracket has a limiting groove for placing the workpiece 800, and the limiting groove can abut against the peripheral wall of the workpiece 800. The clamping assembly 920 has a first bracket with a limiting groove, which can abut against the peripheral wall of the workpiece 800 during clamping. This structure not only provides a stable mounting base for the insert 921, but its limiting groove itself can also play a role in auxiliary positioning and radial limiting. When the first bracket moves to the inner wall of the limiting groove and contacts the workpiece 800, it can automatically stop to prevent over-clamping and enhance the reliability and safety of operation.

[0078] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 920 further includes a guide rail along which the first support can slide. By setting the guide rail to guide the sliding of the first support, it is ensured that all clamping assemblies 920 move accurately and smoothly in a predetermined direction, avoiding skewness or jamming, and further improving positioning accuracy and system repeatability.

[0079] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 920 further includes an elastic reset member 950, which is disposed in the limiting groove. The elastic reset member 950 can abut against the peripheral wall of the workpiece 800. Driven by elastic force, the elastic reset member 950 can move the workpiece 800 away from the wall surface of the limiting groove. By providing an elastic reset member 950 (such as a spring, elastic pad, etc.) in the limiting groove, a pushing force is automatically applied to the workpiece 800 after the clamping driving force is released, causing it to move away from the wall surface of the limiting groove. This pushing force helps to push the insert 921 from the narrow area of ​​the slot 812 back to the wide area, effectively solving the problem of separation difficulties caused by residual friction between the elastic slot 812 and the insert 921, making the disassembly of the workpiece 800 more convenient and effortless.

[0080] In some embodiments, a position detection component is also included. The position detection component is disposed on the clamping base 910 and is used to position the clamping component 920. By installing a position detection component (such as a photoelectric sensor, position switch, etc.) to monitor the position of the clamping component 920 in real time, the clamping stroke can be precisely controlled, effectively preventing workpiece 800 from being crushed or structurally damaged due to excessive movement, thus improving the intelligence and safety of the system.

[0081] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 920 is provided with at least two inserts 921. Providing at least two inserts 921 on a single clamping assembly 920 can significantly increase the contact points and constraint forces with the workpiece 800 slot 812, forming a more stable multi-point positioning, effectively suppressing the rotation or slight displacement that the workpiece 800 may produce when under force, and improving the overall rigidity of the clamping.

[0082] In some embodiments, the clamping base 910 is provided with an identification component for detecting whether the clamping base 910 has a workpiece 800. The identification mechanism is an infrared sensor, which can identify whether there is a workpiece 800 on the clamping base 910.

[0083] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the plug 921 is circular or polygonal. The cross-section of the plug 921 can be designed in various shapes such as circular and polygonal. A circular cross-section facilitates smooth insertion and uniform force distribution; a polygonal cross-section (such as square or hexagonal) provides better anti-torsion performance, and users can flexibly choose according to specific anti-torsion requirements.

[0084] In some embodiments, the end of the plug 921 is provided with a ball-shaped plug or a conical plug. Providing a ball-shaped or conical plug at the end of the plug 921 can significantly reduce the difficulty of alignment when inserting into the card slot 812, and play a good guiding role, so that the plug 921 can be smoothly inserted even if there is a slight misalignment with the card slot 812, thereby improving the error tolerance and convenience of operation.

[0085] In one embodiment, a product 820 mounting carrier 810 for smart manufacturing includes: The carrier plate body is made of elastic material; Storage slot 811 is located on the carrier plate body; At least two slots 812 are provided opposite to each other on the carrier plate body. The width of the slot 812 on the side closer to the edge of the carrier plate body is greater than the width of the slot on the side closer to the middle of the carrier plate body.

[0086] According to embodiments of the present invention, by such a configuration, at least the following effects can be achieved: When used in conjunction with the corresponding clamping base 910, the mounting plate 810 achieves a highly efficient, stable, and adaptable installation effect with its elastic structure. Specifically, the clamping base 910 includes at least two clamping components 920, each with an upward-facing insert 921. During installation, the insert 921 is first inserted into the edge of the corresponding slot 812 on the mounting plate body. This slot is wider, facilitating quick and smooth entry of the insert 921 for initial positioning. Subsequently, under the action of the clamping drive component 930, multiple inserts 921 move synchronously towards the center of the mounting plate body. As the insert 921 advances into the area where the slot width gradually narrows, the slot 812, due to its material elasticity, exerts a gradually increasing compressive force on the insert 921, thereby achieving secondary precise positioning and effectively improving alignment accuracy and connection stability.

[0087] Furthermore, the storage slot 811 is used to support various products 820. Its structure, made of elastic material, not only accommodates the products 820 through moderate deformation during installation but also has a certain degree of dimensional tolerance, adapting to products 820 that are slightly larger or smaller than the standard size, thus enhancing the versatility and practicality of the carrier plate. Through the synergistic effect of at least two oppositely arranged slots 812 and plug-in 921, the carrier plate body is subjected to balanced elastic clamping forces from both sides during clamping, further enhancing the stability of the entire installation structure and effectively preventing the carrier plate from shifting during vibration or movement. This makes it suitable for applications in intelligent manufacturing environments with high requirements for positioning accuracy and reliability.

[0088] It should be noted that the corresponding clamping device for the mounting plate 810 includes at least: Clamping base 910; At least two clamping components 920 are provided on the clamping base 910. Each clamping component 920 includes an upwardly positioned insert 921 that can be inserted into a card slot 812. The clamping drive assembly 930 is used to drive multiple clamping assemblies 920 to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0089] In some embodiments, a disassembly groove 813 is also included, which extends along the length or width of the carrier plate body. By providing the disassembly groove 813 along the length or width of the carrier plate body, the overall rigidity of the solid elastic structure under stress can be effectively alleviated, making it easier for users to expand the storage groove 811 by squeezing when installing or disassembling the product 820, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving assembly efficiency.

[0090] It should be noted that the length and width directions refer to the length and width of the rectangular carrier plate structure.

[0091] In some embodiments, the storage slot 811 is disposed on one side of the carrier plate body, and the disassembly slot 813 is disposed on the opposite side of the carrier plate body. Distributing the storage slot 811 and the disassembly slot 813 on two opposite surfaces of the carrier plate body not only optimizes the structural spatial distribution and avoids interference, but also helps to form a more uniform elastic deformation zone in the storage slot 811 area, thereby improving the fit and stability of the product 820 during installation.

[0092] In some embodiments, the disassembly slot 813 can penetrate vertically through the carrier plate body or partially through the carrier plate body. The disassembly slot 813 can be designed to penetrate vertically or partially through the carrier plate body according to actual needs, so as to meet the expansion function while taking into account the overall structural strength and space utilization of the carrier plate body, and adapt to the installation requirements of products 820 of different sizes.

[0093] In some embodiments, the width of the middle section of the disassembly groove 813 is greater than the width of the two sides of the disassembly groove 813. The greater width of the middle section of the disassembly groove 813 allows it to have better deformation capability at the corresponding placement groove 811 position, making it easier to place and remove the product 820; while the narrower areas on both sides maintain the edge structural strength, ensuring the overall shape stability of the carrier plate during the clamping process.

[0094] In some embodiments, the slot 812 includes an insertion portion 812a and a limiting portion 812b sequentially from the circumferential direction to the inward direction of the carrier plate body. The insertion portion 812a is circular, and a narrowed bottleneck opening is provided between the insertion portion 812a and the limiting portion 812b. The slot 812 is provided with a circular insertion portion 812a, a narrowed bottleneck opening, and a limiting portion 812b sequentially from the outside to the inside, forming a two-stage positioning mechanism of "guidance-locking". After the plug-in 921 smoothly enters through the insertion portion 812a, it is elastically contracted and squeezed when passing through the bottleneck opening, and quickly locks after entering the limiting portion 812b, enhancing positioning reliability and operating feel.

[0095] In some embodiments, a fixing hole 814 is also included. The fixing hole 814 is disposed in the carrier plate body and extends vertically through the carrier plate body. The vertically extending fixing hole 814 on the carrier plate body can be used to cooperate with additional positioning pins or bolts to achieve auxiliary positioning of the product 820 or further fixation of the carrier plate itself, thereby expanding the flexibility of the carrier plate in use.

[0096] In some embodiments, the edges of the carrier plate body are chamfered or rounded. Chamfering or rounding the edges of the carrier plate body prevents sharp edges from scratching the product 820 or operators, improving safety and facilitating the placement and removal of the carrier plate at the workstation.

[0097] In some embodiments, the storage slot 811 is a rectangular slot or a circular slot. The storage slot 811 can be designed as a rectangular slot, a circular slot or other geometric shapes according to the shape of the product 820, to enhance the adaptability to different types of products 820 and expand the application range.
