Switch to lateral transfer or longitudinally fed.
The double-bucket is that the longitudinal rail vertical with the slide rail is symmetrical arranged in the both sides of the slide rail, and in institute
State and storage position is set on longitudinal rail.
Two groups of clamping cylinders and one group of telescopic alignment pin are set respectively in the both sides of the working position, with the clamping gas
Cylinder is held tightly to form one-time positioning structure to the fixture BASE plates slid onto on the working position, is inserted with the telescopic alignment pin
Preformed hole on fixture BASE plates after one-time positioning forms secondary positioning structure.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the beneficial effect that:
1st, having benefited from the multi-vehicle-type storage switching device of the present invention, multi-vehicle-type position operation altogether can be achieved, flexibility switches, point
Position storage, breaches the limitation of the most four vehicles operations of existing structure, meets that more multi-vehicle-type needs, applicability are more extensive;
2nd, slid compared to existing cross switching mechanism, the piece uploading position of the achievable work vehicle of the present invention and working position,
Possesses the conveying capacity between station.Compared to existing cross switching mechanism can only " one " font be linear slides back and forth, the present invention
Horizontal, straight skidding can be achieved, mechanism is more flexible;
3rd, by using such a rail-changer equipment, the structure of working position is simplified, it is complicated to avoid existing lift
Structure, it is easier to which adjustment installation, structural stability are improved, and cost is reduced;
4th, due to the Flexible production of achievable more multi-vehicle-type, more spaces and cost has been saved, has been beneficial to create more warps
Ji benefit.
