Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suction cup gripper technology, specifically a suction cup gripper for a welding workstation. Background Technology

[0002] Suction cup grippers are a key component of robots or automated equipment, usually installed at the end of a robotic arm, used to grasp objects of different shapes and materials. They are widely used in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, food processing and other fields to help achieve efficient and precise automated operations.

[0003] In the process of using a suction cup gripper for adsorption and fixation, the adsorption and fixation position is often only one point. At this time, for some workpieces that are slightly larger or have uneven weight distribution, single-point adsorption and fixation cannot meet the stability requirements of adsorption. Therefore, it is necessary to design a suction cup gripper that can adsorb at multiple points. Secondly, when adsorbing the workpiece, the position of the suction cup needs to avoid rough or hollow areas on the upper surface of the workpiece. If the adsorption position of the suction cup gripper cannot be easily adjusted, it will cause great trouble in actual operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suction cup gripper for a welding workstation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a main mounting base and an auxiliary mounting sleeve. The auxiliary mounting sleeve is installed around the main mounting base. A main suction head is installed at the bottom of the main mounting base, and a secondary suction head is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary mounting sleeve.

A telescopic rod is fixed to one end of the rotating rod. The end of the telescopic rod is slidably connected to the end sleeve and fixed by a locking bolt. A rotating seat is fixed to the outside of the main mounting base at a position corresponding to the rotating rod.

[0006] Preferably, the upper end of the telescopic rod is provided with positioning grooves at equal intervals, and the positions of the positioning grooves are aligned with the positions of the locking bolts.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing component includes an arc-shaped toothed plate and a telescopic gear. The rotating seats are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main mounting seat. Each rotating seat is rotatably connected to a pair of rotating rods. The arc-shaped toothed plate is fixed to the outer side of the end of the rotating rod and meshes with the arc-shaped toothed plates in the rotating seat on the same side.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a main mounting base 1 and an auxiliary mounting sleeve 2. The auxiliary mounting sleeve 2 is installed around the main mounting base 1. A main suction head 11 is installed at the bottom of the main mounting base 1, and a secondary suction head 21 is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary mounting sleeve 2. A connecting rod 3 is provided between the main mounting base 1 and the auxiliary mounting sleeve 2. The connecting rod 3 is composed of a rotating rod 31 and an end sleeve 32. A telescopic rod 33 is fixed to one end of the rotating rod 31. The end of the telescopic rod 33 is slidably connected to the end sleeve 32 and secured by a locking bolt 34. The telescopic rod 33 is fixed with equidistant positioning grooves 35 on its upper end. The positioning grooves 35 are aligned with the locking bolts 34. When the bottom of the locking bolts 34 enters the positioning grooves 35, the extension and retraction of the end sleeve 32 at the end of the telescopic rod 33 can be avoided. A rotating seat 4 is fixed on the outside of the main mounting base 1 and at a position corresponding to the rotating rod 31. One end of the rotating rod 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 4 and is equipped with a fixing component. The auxiliary suction head 21 is at the same height as the bottom of the main suction head 11. A connecting flange 12 is fixed on the upper end of the main mounting base 1.

[0019] The fixing assembly includes an arc-shaped toothed plate 51 and a telescopic gear 52. The rotating seats 4 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main mounting base 1. Each rotating seat 4 is rotatably connected to a pair of rotating rods 31. The arc-shaped toothed plate 51 is fixed to the outer side of the end of the rotating rod 31, and the arc-shaped toothed plates 51 in the rotating seat 4 on the same side are engaged. The telescopic gear 52 is installed in the rotating seat 4 and is located between the arc-shaped toothed plates 51. The telescopic gear 52 is engaged with the arc-shaped toothed plates 51. A storage groove 53 is opened on the inner wall above the rotating seat 4. The upper end of the telescopic gear 52 is slidably connected in the storage groove 53. A threaded rod 54 is rotatably connected in the storage groove 53. The bottom of the threaded rod 54 is threadedly connected in the telescopic gear 52. The upper end of the threaded rod 54 extends out of the rotating seat 4 and is fixed with a knob 56. A guide rod 55 is fixed in the storage groove 53 and located outside the threaded rod 54. The bottom of the guide rod 55 is slidably connected in the telescopic gear 52.

[0020] Working Principle: First, the entire device is connected to the welding machine wall using the connecting flange 12. During the adsorption process, the main suction head 11 and the auxiliary suction head 21 adsorb the workpiece from above, using vacuum adsorption to maintain the stability of the workpiece adsorption. This is the conventional vacuum suction cup adsorption principle, so it will not be elaborated on in detail. If the workpiece is large, the connecting rod 3 can be extended so that the auxiliary suction head 21 can assist in adsorption on the upper surface of the workpiece, increasing the stability of the workpiece during welding movement. Secondly, the connecting rod 3 can be rotated and its end extended or retracted as needed to adjust the adsorption position of the auxiliary suction head 21 on the upper surface of the workpiece, ensuring stable adsorption by the auxiliary suction head 21. During this process, due to the end sleeve... The 32 is slidably connected to the front end of the telescopic rod 33. Therefore, after loosening the locking bolt 34, it can freely extend and retract, changing the straight-line distance between the auxiliary suction head 21 and the main suction head 11. Secondly, when it is necessary to rotate the connecting rod 3, the knob 56 can be rotated to drive the threaded rod 54 to rotate, which in turn drives the telescopic gear 52 to extend and retract. After the telescopic gear 52 is stored inside the storage groove 53, the engagement between the telescopic gear 52 and the arc-shaped toothed plate 51 is released, thereby achieving the purpose of free rotation of the connecting rod 3. Conversely, after the telescopic gear 52 extends, it can simultaneously engage with the arc-shaped toothed plate 51, thereby fixing the rotating rod 31 and ultimately achieving the purpose of quickly adjusting the position of the auxiliary suction head 21.
