Gripping device and method for grabbing products

Abstract

The invention provides a gripping device. The gripping device is provided with an propping mechanism, a gripping mechanism and a connecting mechanism by which the propping mechanism and the gripping mechanism are connected, wherein the propping mechanism is provided with a base, a mounting seat mounted on the base and a cylinder mounted on the mounting seat and downwardly providing a driving force; the gripping mechanism is provided with a fixed plate, sucker connecting rods fixed on the fixed plate and vacuum suckers located under and communicated with the sucker connecting rods; the connecting mechanism is provided with a bearing block fixed below the base, a rotating shaft accommodated in the bearing block and a connecting seat connected with the rotating shaft; the connecting seat is fixedly connected with the fixed plate. The cylinder downwardly outputs a driving force to enable an output shaft to be propped against the connecting seat, so that the vacuum suckers cannot rotate, then the vacuum suckers suck products, during extraction, the output shaft is divorced from the connecting seat, and by virtue of the movably connected connecting mechanism, the products can be reliably sucked by the vacuum suckers in the running process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automation equipment used in assembly lines, in particular to a grabbing device for grabbing heavy objects and a method for grabbing products. Background technique [0002] With the development of economy and technology, automation equipment is more and more widely used in industrial production, and the problems of low labor efficiency and high cost are replaced by automation equipment. Especially when grasping and shifting heavy objects, automation equipment can solve the problem of low labor efficiency to a large extent. In the prior art, there are many automatic grabbing devices, and grabbing devices with different structures are designed for different types of products. The grabbing devices include different mechanisms such as driving devices, control devices, and grabbing devices. Corresponding grabbing device to grab the product. [0003] The grabbing device in the prior art is the direct connection between...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The grabbing device in the prior art is the direct connection between the output shaft of the holding mechanism and the grabbing mechanism with the vacuum suction cup. The above-mentioned grabbing device has the following disadvantages: if the product and the vacuum sucker are not perpendicular to each other, the vacuum The suction cup may not be able to hold the product well and cause air leakage, which may cause the product to fall off during the extraction process

Especially for complex products, such as the panel of the air conditioner internal unit is uneven and has a large arc surface, the vacuum suction cup cannot hold the panel at one time

Sometimes on the processing line of the air conditioner inner unit, the panel installed on the air conditioner inner unit needs to be opened, and the parts under the panel are processed or inspected, and the existing grabbing device cannot realize this function
