DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Embodiment: A bag breaking machine gripper, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a bag grabbing part and a shaking part. The bag grabbing part includes a bag returning assembly. The bag grabbing part includes a bracket plate 1, two claw thorn rows 2 and two claw thorn rotating cylinders 3. The two claw thorn rows 2 are both located below the bracket plate 1. The two claw thorn rows 2 are both rotatably connected to the bracket plate 1 and the connection is located at both ends of the bracket plate 1. The claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 is used to drive the claw thorn row 2 to rotate. After the two claw thorn rows 2 rotate, the claw tips of the two claw thorn rows 2 face back to back. When grabbing, the two claws penetrate from the middle of the material bag, and then the claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 drives the two claws to rotate, and the two claw thorn rows 2 are turned outward, so the tip part of the claw thorn row 2 will support the edge of the material bag, avoiding the problem of residual material caused by the corners of the material bag and the multi-layer material bag falling down, which can save materials and avoid waste.

[0021] The two claw thorn rotating cylinders 3 are fixed above the bracket plate 1 through the first bracket 4, and a flip rod 5 is arranged on the claw thorn row 2. The claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 is rotatably connected with the claw thorn row 2 through a connecting shaft. The claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 passes through the bracket plate 1 and is connected with the flip rod 5. The output shaft of the claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 is rotatably connected with the flip rod 5 through a connecting shaft. Since the connecting shaft between the output shaft of the claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 and the flip rod 5 is closer to the middle part of the bracket plate 1 than the connecting shaft between the claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 and the first bracket 4, when the output shaft of the claw thorn rotating cylinder 3 is extended, the claw thorn row 2 can be turned outward. A limiting plate 6 is arranged on the bracket plate 1, and the limiting plate 6 is used to limit the maximum rotation angle of the claw thorn row 2 to avoid excessive flipping of the claw thorn row 2.

[0022] The shaking part includes a shaking cage 7, one end of the shaking cage 7 is provided with a second bracket 8, and the other end is provided with a rotating connecting frame 9, the second bracket 8 is rotatably connected to a shaking cylinder 17, the output end of the shaking cylinder 17 is rotatably connected to the bracket plate 1, the rotating connecting frame 9 is rotatably connected to the bracket plate 1, and the reciprocating motion of the output end of the shaking cylinder 17 can realize the swing of the bracket plate 1, which can better avoid material residue.

[0023] The shaking part also includes a flange connecting plate 10 for fixing the gripper of the bag breaking machine. The flange connecting plate 10 is connected to the shaking cage frame 7 and the flange connecting plate 10 through a shock-absorbing spring 11. The flange connecting plate 10 can be connected to the industrial robot. The shock-absorbing spring 11 can reduce the vibration of the shaking part transmitted to the industrial robot, reduce mechanical vibration, and increase mechanical life.

[0024] The bag returning assembly includes a bag returning plate 12 and a push plate cylinder 13 for driving the bag returning plate 12 to move linearly. Both ends of the bag returning plate 12 are connected to the lower surface of the bracket plate 1 through guide rods 14. The operation of the push plate cylinder 13 can cause the material bags pierced by the claw piercing row 2 to be detached.

[0025] The claw thorn row 2 includes a main rod 15, both ends of which are rotatably connected to the bracket plate 1, and a plurality of claw thorn heads 16 are arranged on the main rod 15 along the length direction of the main rod 15. The arrangement density of the claw thorn heads 16 located at both ends of the main rod 15 is greater than the arrangement density of the claw thorn heads 16 located in the middle of the main rod 15.

[0026] The bag breaker gripper includes an initial state, a bag holding state, a shaking state, and a bag retreat state in sequence. The bag breaker gripper cycles through the four states in sequence when working continuously. When the bag breaker gripper is in operation, it is first in the initial state. At this time, the tip of the claw piercing row 2 is vertically downward, the push plate cylinder 13 is retracted, and the shaking cylinder 17 stops running. After the claw piercing row 2 pierces the material bag, it enters the bag holding state, the claw piercing rotating cylinder 3 runs, the claw piercing row 2 flips outward, and the tip part of the claw piercing row 2 will support the edge of the material bag to ensure the stability of the edge of the material bag. Then it enters the shaking state, the shaking cylinder 17 runs, the bracket plate 1 swings back and forth, and finally enters the bag retreat state, the push plate cylinder 13 runs, and the bag retreat plate 12 pushes the material bag down.

[0027] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
