A quick-change mandatory locking device for robot end tools

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of mechanical processing equipment, in particular to a quick-change forced locking device for a robot end tool, comprising a manipulator, a mounting plate fixedly connected to the end of the manipulator, a tool plate locked and connected to the mounting plate, a locking mechanism and a control The end of the installation disk and the tool disk to be contacted is provided with a strong magnetic attraction component, the tool disk is provided with an induction mechanism for detecting the installation disk, and the locking mechanism includes a number of A locking assembly, the control device includes a controller and a sensor assembly that is electrically connected to the controller, the sensor assembly is arranged on the mounting plate, and all the locking assemblies are electrically connected to the controller. The powerful electromagnet and all solenoid valves cooperate to lock the tool tray at the same time, which provides double protection to avoid accidental falling off and eliminate the safety hazard of quick tool change at the end of the robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanical processing equipment, in particular to a quick-change mandatory locking device for a robot end tool. Background technique [0002] A robot end effector refers to any tool that is connected to the edge (joint) of the robot and has a certain function. This could include robotic grippers, robotic tool changers, robotic collision sensors, robotic rotary couplers, robotic pressure tools, compliance devices, robotic spray guns, robotic deburring tools, robotic arc welding torches, robotic electric welding torches, and more. The robot end effector is usually considered as the peripheral equipment of the robot. The quick change of the robot end tool has been used in the automobile manufacturing industry for many years. However, during the operation and debugging process, the quick change of the robot end tool generally adopts a pneumatic locking method. , tools often fall off accidentally. At present, most of t...

The robot end effector is usually considered as the peripheral equipment of the robot. The quick change of the robot end tool has been used in the automobile manufacturing industry for many years. However, during the operation and debugging process, the quick change of the robot end tool generally adopts a pneumatic locking method. , tools often fall off accidentally. At present, most of the manufacturers who use the quick change of robot end tools on the market use pneumatic solenoid valves to achieve locking. The confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, and there is a security risk
