Ceramic tile grabbing mechanism and mechanical arm for firmly grabbing ceramic tiles

Abstract

The invention relates to a ceramic tile grabbing mechanism and a mechanical arm for grabbing ceramic tiles, which belongs to the technical field of automation equipment, including the splint power unit and tile splint (48), wherein the splint power unit is installed in the grabbing mechanism body (45), the tile splint (48) is disposed below the grabbing mechanism body (45), the splint power unit is connected to the tile splint (48), a splint drive mechanism is arranged between the splint power unit and the tile splint (48), and the splint drive mechanism drives the tile splint (48) to clamp or release the tiles through the rack and pinion. The tile splint of the tile grabbing mechanism is large in contact area with the tile and does not cause damage to the tile, and the splint power unit pushes the tile splint through the splint drive mechanism; the tile is firmly grabbed by the mechanical arm, the working efficiency is high, the tile is not damaged during the grabbing process, and the flexibility is high, so that the tiles can be stacked as needed.

Description

technical field [0001] A ceramic tile grabbing mechanism and a manipulator for firmly grabbing tiles belong to the technical field of automation equipment. Background technique [0002] A manipulator refers to an automatic operating device that can imitate certain functions of the human hand and arm to grab, carry objects or operate tools according to a fixed program. The manipulator is the earliest industrial robot and the first modern robot. The manipulator replaces the heavy labor of people to realize the mechanization and automation of production. It can operate in harmful environments to protect personal safety. Manipulators are widely used in machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, Departments of electronics, light work and atomic energy. [0003] In the ceramic tile production industry, the main function of the manipulator is the transfer of tiles and the stacking of tiles. The existing manipulators can usually complete the movement of the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis. Mo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. It is impossible to change the posture of the tiles, and it can only be transported according to the original posture of the tiles. Therefore, when the tiles are stacked after transshipment, the tiles can only be stacked in the same way, which is less flexible. The environment has high requirements and is inconvenient to use;

[0005] 2. The movement of the manipulator along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis can only run at a constant speed. In order to ensure that the captured tiles will not be damaged during the transfer process, the manipulator needs to run at a low speed, which seriously affects the manipulator. work efficiency;

[0006] 3. When the manipulator moves along the z-axis, the z-axis column will drive the grabbed tiles up and down. Since the number of tiles grabbed each time is different, there will be differences in the weight of the z-axis column when it is lifted each time. The manipulator may vibrate when it is working, and there may be collisions due to the inability to accurately control the moving speed;

[0007] 4. The power device of the existing manipulator is usually a motor, and the motor is usually fixed on the frame. When the manipulator travels too far, especially when it is far away from the motor, the problem of insufficient power will occur due to the excessive transmission distance. And the running speed is also very unstable;

Since the manipulator needs to cooperate with the tile production line, the manipulator cannot be stopped during the daily production process, which requires workers to place pallets during the work of the manipulator, which poses a safety hazard

Moreover, the existing manipulator has relatively high requirements on the position of the pallet. When placing the pallet, it is necessary to place the pallet precisely according to the working position of the manipulator, which is very inconvenient to use.
