Description

Technical Field

[0002] The requirement for the installation of spacer bars is that the wire clamp of the spacer bars needs to have sufficient gripping force and is not allowed to loosen during long-term operation. Therefore, the spacer bar clamp and the wire need to be locked during installation, and the force required to lock the spacer bar clamp and the wire is very large. For example, Chinese patent CN202411173725.0 discloses a spacer bar installation robot, including a frame, a storage mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a wire clamping mechanism and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism mentioned is used to grasp and push the self-locking of the spacer bars, but the locking mechanism can only be clamped at the position specified by the robot when in use. If the position of the robot fixing the spacer bar is offset, the clamping will fail when locking the spacer bar claw, and if an offset occurs during the clamping of the clamp, the mechanism will be stuck.

The first rotating motor 633 is installed at one end of the second rotating plate 631. The output shaft of the first rotating motor 633 passes through the second rotating plate 631 and is connected to the other end of the first rotating plate 61. The second rotating motor 634 is installed at the other end of the second rotating plate 631. The output shaft of the second rotating motor 634 passes through the second rotating plate 631 and is connected to the rotating joint 7. The driver 64 is installed at one side of the second rotating plate 631 and is connected to the first rotating motor 633 and the second rotating motor 634.

[0046] In this embodiment, first, the first rotating plate 61 is made to make a circular motion along the output shaft of the rotating motor 62 through the rotating motor 62, so that the clamping jaw 9 quickly approaches the chuck 3, and then the first rotary motor 633 is controlled by the driver 64 to make the second rotating plate 631 make a circular motion along the first rotating plate 61, so that the clamping jaw 9 slightly adjusts its position, and then the second rotary motor 634 is controlled by the driver 64 to make the clamping jaw 9 rotate to a position that can just clamp the chuck 3, and then the clamping jaw 9 is driven by the power device 8 to clamp the chuck 3.

[0047] Embodiment 4:

[0048] The basic content is the same as that of Example 1, except that:

[0049] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7A mounting shell 65 is provided between the first rotating plate 61 and the rotating motor 62, and a bearing 67 is connected inside the mounting shell 65. The inner ring of the bearing 67 is sleeved on the output shaft of the rotating motor 62, and a rotating disk 66 is connected to the end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 62. The rotating disk 66 is rotatably connected in the mounting shell 65, and the outer side of the rotating disk 66 is connected to one side of the first rotating plate 61.

[0050] A first housing 635 is provided between the first rotary motor 633 and the second rotating plate 631, a first turntable 636 is provided between the first rotating plate 61 and the second rotating plate 631, the first turntable 636 is fixedly connected to the first rotating plate 61, the second rotating plate 631 is rotatably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the first turntable 636, the first housing 635 is connected to the second rotating plate 631, a first connecting block 637 is connected inside the first housing 635, and the first connecting block 637 is connected to the output shaft of the first rotary motor 633 through a bearing 67.

[0052] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to control the rotation of the clamping clamp 9, the rotating disk 66 is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 62. The rotating disk 66 is connected to the first rotating plate 61 by bolts, and then the first rotating plate 61 can be driven to rotate along the axis of the rotating disk 66. At the same time, the first rotary motor 633 is controlled to rotate by the driver 64. Since the first rotary disk 636 is fixedly connected to the first rotating plate 61, when the first rotary motor 633 rotates, it can be equivalent to the shaft not rotating. The first rotary motor 633 rotates by itself. Since the first rotary motor 633 is connected to the second rotating plate 631 through the first housing 635, it will drive the second rotating plate 631 to rotate along the end of the first rotating plate 61. The rotation of the second rotary motor 634 is controlled by the driver 64, which will drive the rotating seat 639 to rotate. The rotating seat 639 rotates with the clamping clamp 9 through the rotating joint 7, thereby driving the clamping clamp 9 to rotate.
