[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a tooling plate positioning structure, wherein the tooling plate positioning structure includes a conveying mechanism 100, a tooling plate 200, and a positioning mechanism 300. The tooling plate 200 is disposed on the conveying section of the conveying mechanism 100; The positioning mechanism 300 includes a positioning block 310 and a driving device 320. The positioning block 310 is located on the side of the tooling plate 200, and the driving device 320 is used to drive the positioning block 310 away from or close to the tooling plate 200.

[0023] In this invention, the conveying section of the conveying mechanism 100 enables continuous movement of the tooling plate 200. The driving device 320 of the positioning mechanism 300 can drive the positioning block 310 to move closer to or further away from the side of the tooling plate 200. During positioning, the positioning block 310 abuts against the tooling plate 200, restricting the conveying of the tooling plate 200; during non-positioning, the positioning block 310 moves away, not affecting the conveying of the tooling plate 200. By positioning the tooling plate 200, the position of the tooling plate 200 and the products it carries, such as children's accessory books, is ensured to be accurate. This facilitates alignment during subsequent processes such as printing or assembly, ensuring processing accuracy. It can also adapt to the continuous positioning requirements in mass production, improving production efficiency.

[0024] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the conveying mechanism 100 includes: A connecting flag 110 is disposed on the conveying part of the conveying mechanism 100 and connects to the tooling plate 200; The connecting flag 110 is provided with a first groove 111, and the groove opening direction of the first groove 111 corresponds to the positioning block 310; The positioning block 310 is shaped to fit the first groove 111.

[0025] In this invention, the connecting flag 110 not only achieves a rigid connection between the tooling plate 200 and the conveying unit, ensuring synchronous conveying, but also, through the shape matching of its first groove 111 with the positioning block 310, allows the positioning block 310 to embed into the first groove 111 during positioning, forming a fitting and limiting position. Compared to simple side-abutment positioning, the shape matching of the groove and the positioning block restricts the displacement of the connecting flag 110, thereby locking the position of the tooling plate 200 and preventing slight displacement of the tooling plate 200 due to vibration or conveying impact. At the same time, the fitting structure disperses the positioning pressure, reduces local wear on the positioning block 310 and the connecting flag 110, and extends the service life of the components. It is suitable for processing scenarios involving precise printing of adhesive on accessory books.

[0026] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the conveying mechanism 100 further includes a guide rail 120, a chain 130, and a drive sprocket 140 for driving the chain 130; The guide rail 120 is aligned with the chain 130. The guide rail 120 is provided with a limiting groove 121, the groove opening of the limiting groove 121 corresponds to the positioning block 310, and one side of the chain 130 slides in cooperation with the limiting groove 121.

[0027] In this invention, by setting a guide rail 120 and a limiting groove 121, one side of the chain 130 slides into the limiting groove 121. On the one hand, the limiting groove 121 guides the chain 130, preventing it from shifting along the width direction during transport and ensuring the stability of the tooling plate 200's transport path. On the other hand, the cooperation between the guide rail 120 and the limiting groove 121 provides a stable positioning reference for the positioning block 310, enabling the positioning block 310 to accurately align with the first groove 111 of the connecting flag 110, reducing positioning deviation. Moreover, when the positioning block 310 approaches the tooling plate 200 from the side until it abuts and is positioned, the limiting groove 121 prevents the chain 130 from detaching from the guide rail 120. The guide rail 120 also provides support for the chain 130, which helps to ensure the stable transport of the tooling plate 200 and improves processing accuracy.

[0028] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the tooling plate positioning structure further includes a support flag 400; The supporting flag 400 is disposed on the conveying part of the conveying mechanism 100 and is used to abut against the bottom of the tooling plate 200.

[0029] In this utility model, the connecting flag 110 enables a rigid connection between the tooling plate 200 and the conveying part of the conveying mechanism 100, ensuring that the conveying part can stably drive the tooling plate 200 to move synchronously; the supporting flag 400 provides support from the bottom of the tooling plate 200, avoiding the force concentration caused by the tooling plate 200 being suspended solely by the connecting flag 110, which helps to ensure the positional stability of the tooling plate 200 during the conveying process, distributes the weight and processing pressure of the tooling plate 200 and the product it carries, reduces the risk of long-term deformation of the connecting flag 110, extends the service life of the overall structure, helps to ensure processing accuracy, and effectively meets the stable conveying of products such as children's accessory books and the processing support requirements that may be involved.

[0030] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, an arc-shaped second groove 410 is provided on the top surface of the flag 400, and the groove opening direction of the second groove 410 corresponds to the tooling plate 200. The bottom of the tooling plate 200 is provided with an abutment block 210 for abutting against the flag 400, and the abutment block 210 is shaped to fit the second groove 410.

[0031] In this invention, the arc-shaped second groove 410 on the top surface of the flag 400 matches the shape of the abutment block 210 of the tooling plate 200. On the one hand, the arc-shaped groove can precisely limit the abutment block 210, preventing the tooling plate 200 from shifting along the conveying direction or width direction during conveying, which is especially suitable for high-precision conveying scenarios (such as parts that need to undergo printing, assembly, etc.). On the other hand, the arc-shaped structure achieves smooth contact between the abutment block 210 and the flag 400, reducing wear caused by hard contact. While stabilizing the tooling plate 200 through a certain fitting effect, the pressure borne by the tooling plate 200 can be distributed on the flag 400 through the second groove 410. When the tooling plate 200 shakes slightly, it acts as a buffer, preventing the product from shifting due to vibration, which helps to improve conveying stability and ensure processing accuracy.

[0032] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the connecting flag 110 is close to the middle of the tooling plate 200; The supporting flag 400 is close to one end of the tooling plate 200.

[0033] The number of connecting flags 110 can be two or more, specifically arranged symmetrically in the middle of the tooling plate 200. The number of supporting flags 400 can be two or more, specifically arranged symmetrically with respect to the connecting flags 110 and located at the front and rear ends of the tooling plate 200 in the conveying direction.

[0034] In this invention, the support flag 400 improves the conveying stability of the tooling plate 200 and facilitates the alignment and positioning of the positioning block 310 and the connecting flag 110. Specifically, the connecting flag 110 is located near the middle of the tooling plate 200, and the support flag 400 is located near one end of the tooling plate 200. Adjusting the layout of the connecting flag 110 and the support flag 400 makes the force on the tooling plate 200 more balanced. The connecting flag 110 in the middle provides the main traction force, while the support flag 400 at the end provides support from the edge, forming a stable support structure with connection in the middle and support at the end. This effectively avoids warping deformation of the tooling plate 200 caused by concentrated stress points, and is especially suitable for conveying long tooling plates 200 or heavy products, ensuring rigid support in the processing environment. At the same time, the tooling plate 200 can remain horizontal as a whole, providing a stable bearing foundation for subsequent product processing.

[0035] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the top surface of the flag support 400 includes an inner end protrusion 420 and an outer end protrusion 430, the inner end protrusion 420 and the outer end protrusion 430 are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the connecting flag 110, and the second groove 410 is located between the inner end protrusion 420 and the outer end protrusion 430. The inner end protrusion 420, the second groove 410 and the outer end protrusion 430 are smoothly transitioned; The height of the outer end protrusion 430 is greater than the height of the inner end protrusion 420.

[0036] In this invention, the inner protrusion 420, the second groove 410, and the outer protrusion 430 on the top surface of the flag support 400 form a segmented structure with smooth transitions between each part. The inner protrusion 420 and the outer protrusion 430 located on both sides of the second groove 410 can enhance the fitting effect between the abutment block 210 and the second groove 410, improving the support stability. Moreover, the inner protrusion 420 and the outer protrusion 430 can form a bidirectional limit on the abutment block 210 from both sides of the second groove 410, further preventing the tooling plate 200 from shifting; on the other hand, the smooth transition structure avoids sharp corner collisions between components. When the tooling plate 200 rotates with the conveying section (such as in the flipping section), the abutment block 210 can smoothly detach from or contact the flag support 400 along the smooth surface without jamming or impact, reducing component wear, while ensuring smooth conveying and improving the reliability of continuous equipment operation.

[0037] Specifically, by setting the height of the outer protrusion 430 to be greater than that of the inner protrusion 420, it can adapt to the working conditions when the conveying mechanism 100 rotates in a cycle, facilitating rapid and stable conveying after the tooling plate 200 flips, and aiding in subsequent alignment with the positioning block 310. When the conveying mechanism 100 is in a cycle, its conveying part drives the tooling plate 200 into the flipping section during the cycle. At this time, the conveying part is connected to the tooling plate 200 through the connecting flag 110, and the abutment block 210 located at the bottom of the tooling plate 200 will disengage from the second groove 410. When the conveying resumes, the abutment block 210 will re-embed into the second groove 410. When moving to a turning point, the supporting flag 400 rotates around the connecting flag 110 and engages or disengages from the abutment block 210. By adjusting the height of the inner protrusion 420 to be lower, it can better adapt to the relative rotation of the supporting flag 400, facilitating the disengagement or re-entry of the abutment block 210 and engagement with the second groove 410. After the conveying is restored, the higher outer protrusion 430 can guide the abutment block 210 to slide smoothly into the second groove 410, ensuring that the tooling plate 200 quickly returns to a stable supporting state. During the supporting process, the supporting pressure of the tooling plate 200 can be dispersed through a certain lateral decomposition, reducing the local stress concentration of the conveying mechanism 100, which is conducive to ensuring the stable supporting and conveying of the tooling plate 200, improving processing accuracy and the service life of the equipment.

[0038] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the tooling plate 200 is hollowed out.

[0039] In this invention, the hollow design of the tooling plate 200 significantly reduces its own weight, decreases the power consumption of the conveying mechanism 100, and lowers the load on the connecting flag 110 and the supporting flag 400. This helps ensure positioning accuracy over long-term use, further extends the service life of the components, and facilitates cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, the hollow design allows for clearance space based on the processing requirements of the parts list, enhancing the versatility of the tooling plate 200 structure.

[0040] The working principle of the tooling plate positioning structure of this utility model is as follows: After the tooling plate positioning structure is activated, the power source of the conveying mechanism 100 first drives the drive sprocket 140 to rotate, causing the chain 130 to circulate along a preset path. The tooling plate 200 is rigidly connected to the chain 130 through the connecting flag 110. The connecting flag 110 is fixed on the chain 130 and close to the center of the tooling plate 200 (it can be symmetrically arranged). When the chain 130 rotates, the connecting flag 110 drives the tooling plate 200 to move synchronously, ensuring that there is no relative slippage between the tooling plate 200 and the chain 130, providing a stable foundation for subsequent positioning. At the same time, one side of the chain 130 slides into the limiting groove 121 of the guide rail 120. The limiting groove 121 guides the chain 130, preventing the chain 130 from deviating in the width direction, indirectly ensuring the accuracy of the conveying path of the tooling plate 200. The guide rail 120 also provides support for the chain 130, further improving the conveying stability.

[0041] When the tooling plate 200 is conveyed to the positioning station by the chain 130, the positioning mechanism 300 starts to work: the drive device 320 receives a control signal and drives the positioning block 310 to move closer to the side of the tooling plate 200 until the positioning block 310 is embedded in the first groove 111 on the connecting flag 110. Since the positioning block 310 and the first groove 111 are in shape to fit together, a fitting limit is formed, which restricts the displacement of the connecting flag 110, thereby locking the position of the tooling plate 200 and preventing the tooling plate 200 from being slightly offset due to vibration or conveying impact, thus ensuring processing accuracy; at this time, the supporting flag 400 (fixed on the chain 130 and close to the tooling plate 200) is positioned. The tooling plate 200 provides support from the bottom of the tooling plate 200 (which can be symmetrically set at the front and rear ends in the conveying direction). The abutment block 210 at the bottom of the tooling plate 200 matches the arc-shaped second groove 410 on the top surface of the support flag 400. The abutment block 210 is embedded in the second groove 410, which on the one hand forms a vertical limit on the tooling plate 200 to ensure that the tooling plate 200 remains horizontal and avoids vertical shaking during positioning, which would cause height deviation. It also facilitates the alignment of the positioning block 310 with the first groove 111. On the other hand, the arc-shaped structure disperses the bearing pressure of the tooling plate 200, reduces hard contact wear, and buffers slight vibrations to prevent product displacement.

[0042] The inner end protrusion 420, the second groove 410, and the outer end protrusion 430 on the top surface of the supporting flag 400 are arranged sequentially in a direction away from the connecting flag 110, and the three are smoothly transitioned together. The height of the outer end protrusion 430 is greater than that of the inner end protrusion 420. The protrusions on both sides enhance the fitting effect between the abutment block 210 and the second groove 410, forming a bidirectional limit, further preventing the tooling plate 200 from shifting. When the chain 130 drives the tooling plate 200 into the flipping section, the abutment block 210 smoothly disengages from the second groove 410 along the smooth transition surface, avoiding sharp corner collisions that cause jamming. When the chain 130 resumes horizontal conveying, the higher outer end protrusion 430 guides the abutment block 210 to slide back into the second groove 410, quickly restoring stable support, adapting to the cyclic working conditions of the chain 130, and reducing local stress concentration.

[0043] After positioning is completed (such as product printing or pre-assembly positioning), the drive device 320 drives the positioning block 310 away from the first groove 111 of the connecting flag 110, releasing the positioning restriction. The tooling plate 200 continues to be conveyed to the next process with the chain 130. The tooling plate 200 adopts a hollow design, which reduces its own weight, reduces the power consumption of the conveying mechanism 100 and the load on the connecting flag 110 and the supporting flag 400, while facilitating cleaning and maintenance and reserving space for product processing, thus improving the versatility of the structure.

[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
