The carrier 11 is used for loading jigs (which are used for loading products) or directly loading products. It should be understood that for the whole conveyor line body, the conveying direction here refers to the direction in which the carriers 11 are conveyed on the conveyor line body.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a carrier positioning device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 3 is a schematic position diagram of a positioning block of a carrier when the positioning block enters a clamping space of the carrier positioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the carrier positioning device 100 includes a support 102, a first clamping block 110, a second clamping block 120, and an unlocking member 130. The first clamping block 110 is mounted on the support, the second clamping block 120 is movably mounted on the support 102, the second clamping block 120 and the first clamping block 110 are arranged on the support 102 in a staggered manner in the front-back direction along the conveying direction, a clamping space is formed between the first clamping block 110 and the second clamping block 120, and the second clamping block 120 can be driven by the positioning block 12 to swing so that the positioning block 12 enters the clamping space and is close to the first clamping block 110. The unlocking member is connected to the second clamping block 120 and can be driven by the positioning block 12 moving to the clamping space to unlock, so as to drive the second clamping block 120 to move close to the first clamping block 110 to clamp the positioning block 12.

So, after carrier 11 carried the station, through its locating piece 12 and the contact of second clamp piece 120 and unblock piece 130, can accomplish the location and the clamping action to carrier 11 to can realize the location to carrier 11 fast, efficiency is higher, thereby can effectively improve the speed of transmission line body 10.

In some embodiments, the carrier positioning device 100 further includes a first driving element 140, when the product loaded on the positioned carrier is processed, the unlocking element 130 is driven to reset by the first driving element 140, and when the unlocking element 130 is reset, the second clamping block 120 is driven to move away from the first clamping block 110 to release the positioning block 12, so that the carrier 11 is in a movable state, and can be conveyed by the conveyor line body 10 to continue to move along the conveying direction.

With reference to fig. 1 and 2, it can be understood that the carrier positioning device 100 is disposed on a path of the carrier 11 passing through the transmission line body 10. Accordingly, the passing carrier 11 is positioned by the first gripper block 110 and the second gripper block 120, and after the corresponding processing is completed, in order to continue the movement of the carrier 11 in the conveying direction, it is necessary to release the position limitation of the positioning block 12 in the conveying direction by the first gripper block 110 in addition to the release of the positioning block 12. Therefore, in some embodiments, the carrier positioning device 100 further includes a second driving element 150, and the second driving element 150 is at least used for driving the first clamping block 110 to move, so that the positioning block 120 can move along the conveying direction. Specifically, the second driving element 150 can drive at least the first clamping block 110 to move downwards under the condition that the positioning block 12 is released, so that the positioning block 120 is not limited to move along the conveying direction. It is easily conceivable that the carrier positioning device 100 as a whole can be vertically and drivingly connected to the lateral side of the transmission line body 10 through the second driving member 150. Thus, the carrier positioning device 100 can be driven by the second driving element 150 to move vertically relative to the transmission line body 10, so that the carrier 11 continues to move along the conveying direction.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the mount 102 is mounted to a side of the transmission line body 10. Which serves as an installation reference for the first clamping block 110, the second clamping block 120, the unlocking member 130, etc. Wherein the first clamping block 110 is fixedly installed on the support 102, when the carrier 11 needs to be positioned, the initial position of the first clamping block 110 should be able to block the movement of the positioning block 12. For example, the positioning block 12 has a plate shape, and the rear portion thereof has a flat surface, and the first clamp block 110 also has a plate shape, and an end thereof facing the positioning block 12 has a flat surface. After the positioning block 12 is moved to contact the first clamping block 110, the two blocks are in surface connection, so that the positioning block 12 is positioned at a correct position.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the carrier positioning device 100 further includes a slide carriage 160 capable of moving in the conveying direction, the second clamping block 120 and the unlocking member 130 are hinged to the slide carriage 160, and the slide carriage 160 can be slidably connected to the support 102 in various known manners, such as by a guide rail. Therefore, after the carrier 11 is conveyed to the station, the positioning block 12 can continue to move along the conveying direction by the contact of the positioning block 12, the second clamping block 120 and the unlocking piece 130, that is, the second clamping block 120 completes the avoiding action by rotating around the hinge shaft. The unlocking member 130 can perform an unlocking operation by rotating around the hinge shaft, and the sliding base 160 is triggered to move along the conveying direction, so as to drive the second clamping block 120 to move along the conveying direction, so as to clamp the positioning block 12, thereby positioning the carrier 11.

Specifically, the second clamping block 120 includes an opposite hinge end and a clamping end 121, the second clamping block 120 is hinged to the sliding seat 160 through the hinge end, a touch guide surface 122 is disposed at an end of the clamping end 121, and when the positioning block 12 moves in the conveying direction, the positioning block 12 can be in contact fit with the touch guide surface 122 to enable the clamping end 121 to rotate around a rotating shaft of the hinge end, so that the clamping end 121 moves downward for a certain distance, and no longer has a limit on the positioning block 12 in the conveying direction, and further the positioning block 12 can continue to move in the conveying direction.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the clamping end 121 of the second clamping block 120 is an upwardly convex hook and the abutment guide surface 122 is a sloped surface. When the positioning block 12 moves in the conveying direction, the clamping end 121 pivots about the hinge end by touching the inclined surface to apply a moment to the second clamping block 120. The hook of the clamping end 121 hooks the positioning block 12 when the second clamping block 120 moves close to the first clamping block 110, so as to cooperate with the first clamping block 110 to position the positioning block 12 at a precise position. The hook of the clamping end 121 on the side facing the first clamping block 110 may be a contact surface matching the shape of the positioning block 12. For example, the positioning block 12 has a plate shape, the rear portion thereof has a plane, and the hook portion is also a plane on the side facing the first clamping block 110. When the second clamping block 120 moves toward the first clamping block 110 and contacts the positioning block 12, the two are in surface contact, so that the positioning block 12 is positioned at a precise position.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the first clamping block 110 is configured in a door shape, and the sliding base 160 is slidably connected to the support 102 and located below the first clamping block 110 in the door shape. In this way, the second clamping block 120 is hinged in the middle of the slide 160, below the first clamping block 110. The structure is simple and compact, and the arrangement is facilitated.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, after the positioning block 12 enters the clamping space through the second clamping block 120, in order to clamp and position the positioning block 12 by the second clamping block 120, a first reset member 170 is further included. The first reset member 170 is connected to the second clamping block 120 for driving the clamping end 121 thereof to reset. For example, the first restoring member 170 may be a coil spring, one end of which is connected to the slider and the other end of which abuts against the bottom of the clamping end 121. Thus, when the positioning block 12 touches the touch guide surface 122, the clamping end 121 moves downward for a certain distance to compress the coil spring, so that, when the positioning block 12 is separated from the touch guide surface 122, the clamping end 121 returns to the initial state under the restoring force of the coil spring, and cooperates with the first clamping block 110 to position the positioning block 12 at the correct position.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the unlocking element 130 is directly or indirectly connected to the second clamping block 120, and after the positioning block 12 moves along with the carrier in the conveying direction and the positioning block 12 enters the clamping space through the second clamping block 120, the positioning block 12 is triggered to drive the second clamping block 120 to move close to the first clamping block 110 to clamp the positioning block 12, so as to position the carrier 11. Specifically, the unlocking member 130 has two unlocking members 130, and the two unlocking members 130 are symmetrically and hingedly connected to both sides of the sliding base 160 so as to be distributed on both sides of the second clamping block 120, whereby the structure is simple and compact, the arrangement is facilitated, and the whole apparatus is also made to operate stably and reliably.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, fig. 4 is a top view of the unlocking member 130 of the carrier positioning device according to the embodiment of the present invention after unlocking. In some embodiments, the sliding seat 160 is connected to the support 102 through the elastic member 180, the unlocking member 130 includes a locking portion 131 and a touching portion 132, and the support 102 is provided with a position limiting portion 101 in fit connection with the locking portion 131. When the locking portion 131 is coupled to the position-limiting portion 101, the touching portion 132 is located in the clamping space, and the touching portion 132 can be touched by the positioning block 12 moving to the clamping space to rotate around the hinge shaft, so that the locking portion 131 is separated from the position-limiting portion 101 of the holder 102. When the locking portion 131 is separated from the limiting portion 101, the unlocking member 130 is unlocked, and the sliding base 160 drives the unlocking member 130 and the second clamping block 120 to move along the conveying direction under the action of the elastic member 180. Thereby, the second clamping block 120 is moved toward the first clamping block 110 and is brought into contact with the positioning block 12, so that the positioning block 12 is positioned at a correct position. The touching portion 132 has an inclined guiding surface, so that when the positioning block 12 touches the guiding surface, the end where the touching portion 132 is located moves downward for a certain distance to drive the locking portion 131 to rotate and move downward, so as to separate from the limiting portion 101.

It should be understood that, since the first clamping block 110 is fixed relative to the support 102, the position-limiting portion 101 cooperatively connected with the locking portion 131 may be provided on the first clamping block 110, that is, the position-limiting portion 101 cooperatively connected with the locking portion 131 may be provided on the support 102 or the first clamping block 110. Similarly, the sliding base 160 may be connected to the first clamping block 110 by an elastic member 180.

Referring to fig. 3, it will be understood that, when the touching portion 132 is located in the clamping space when the locking portion 131 is in the fitting connection with the stopper portion 101, the elastic member 180 provides a restoring force of the movement of the slider 160 in the transferring direction, and at this time, the unlocking member 130 is in the locked state due to the fitting connection of the locking portion 131 with the stopper portion 101. The locked state here means a state in which the second clamping block 120 is in an initial position not clamping the positioning block 12, and when the positioning block 12 continues to move by the second clamping block 120, the locking portion 131 is separated from the stopper 101 by contacting the touching portion 132, so that the unlocking member 130 is in an unlocked state. At this time, the sliding base 160 moves along the conveying direction under the restoring force of the elastic member 180, and simultaneously drives the second clamping block 120 hinged to the sliding base 160 and the unlocking member 130 to move together along the conveying direction, so as to clamp the positioning block 12. The elastic member 180 may be a coil spring, and the coil spring is in a compressed state in the locking state.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in some embodiments, the end of the sliding seat 160 is further provided with a pushing portion 161, and the first driving member 140 can act on the pushing portion 161. For example, the first driving member 140 is a cylinder, and a piston rod of the cylinder extends to push the pushing portion 161, so that the sliding seat 160 moves toward a direction opposite to the conveying direction, so that the locking portion 131 and the limiting portion 101 are restored to a state of being engaged with each other, that is, the unlocking member 130 is in a locked state.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the two unlocking elements 130 are further connected with a second restoring element 190, and the second restoring element 190 may be a coil spring, one end of which is connected to the sliding base 160, and the other end of which is connected to the end of the unlocking element 130 where the touching portion 132 is located. When the positioning block 12 is disengaged from the clamping space, the end is rotated about the hinge shaft by the restoring force of the coil spring, so that the locking portion 131 and the stopper portion 101 are restored to the state of the fitting connection.
