Tire transfer robot and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a tire transfer robot which comprises a transfer robot body, a tire grabbing device, an infrared distance measuring sensor and a robot controller, wherein the tire grabbing device is mounted on the transfer robot body; the infrared distance measuring sensor is connected with the robot controller, and is used for detecting the target position in real time and transferring the position information to the robot controller; the robot controller is connected with the transfer robot body. The transfer robot, which is higher in movement and operation precision, has a vertically-hung six-degree-of-freedom rectangular coordinate structure, and the tire grabbing device driven by a cylinder are adopted, the grabbing range is adjustable, and the high-precision and large-stroke movement requirement can be achieved; based on the closed-loop path planning method of a sensor and an intelligent instruction system, the teaching programming time of an operator is saved greatly, and the operation efficiency of the robot is improved; the open-type robot control system structure helps a developer to expand and develop the robot control system in the follow-up stage, and the flexibility of the system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a handling robot and a control method thereof, in particular to a tire handling robot applied to an automobile production line and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of modern industrial automation technology, many manual production and processing work fields have been replaced by industrial robots, and tire handling in the automobile production line has been gradually replaced by industrial robots as a physically heavy and repetitive operation. [0003] However, due to the heavy weight of automobile tires and the tire grabbing device at the end of the robot, currently, the widely used tire handling robots are mainly general-purpose joint robots with large loads, and the purchase and maintenance costs of the robots are relatively high. Most of the industrial robots used for handling use the method of manually teaching the program step by step according to the instructions. The ope...
