Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaft parts processing technology, specifically to a shaft parts pickup. Background Technology
[0002] In the machinery manufacturing industry, shafts are indispensable basic components, playing a vital role in various types of mechanical equipment. As industrial production moves towards automation and intelligence, the production and processing of shafts also need to continuously improve efficiency and precision.
[0003] To improve the efficiency and accuracy of transferring shaft parts, some companies have begun to introduce simple automated equipment with gripping devices. However, most existing gripping devices do not adopt a modular design, and the integration between various components is low. The installation, debugging and maintenance of the equipment require a lot of time and manpower. There is a need for a device that can pick up shaft parts with a high degree of modularity and ensure stable and accurate picking up of shaft parts. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shaft part picker that is highly modular, can automatically pick up shaft parts, and can improve the stability and accuracy of the picking process.
[0005] A shaft-type part picker includes a mounting plate, a connecting assembly, a driving assembly, a picking assembly, and a transmission assembly. The connecting assembly is mounted on the mounting plate, two sets of the driving assemblies are mounted at both ends of the mounting plate, the transmission assembly is mounted at the lower part of the mounting plate, the two sets of picking assemblies are respectively connected to both ends of the transmission assembly, and the driving assembly is connected to the picking assembly.
[0006] In the above solution, the mounting plate enables the connecting component, driving component, picking component, and transmission component to form a modular structure. The connecting component is used to connect the picker to robots, etc. After the picker picks up the shaft parts, the robot can automatically transfer the shaft parts. The driving components at both ends of the mounting plate can drive the transmission component to rotate, and the transmission component can drive the picking component to move to achieve stable and accurate picking of shaft parts. This enables automated picking of shaft parts in the production process and reduces the workload of workers on the production site.
[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes at least two support plates, at least two fixing plates, and a drive member. The fixing plates are connected to the drive member. One side of the fixing plate extends to form a protrusion, which passes through a through hole in the support plate. The support plates are fixed to the mounting plate. The drive rod of the drive member moves through the mounting plate and is connected to a hinge block.
[0008] In the above solution, the fixing plate and the driving component can be connected together by fasteners such as screws. The protrusion on the fixing plate passes through the through hole, and the support plate is fixed on the mounting plate to achieve stable installation of the fixing plate. This allows the driving component to be installed on the support plate and ensures the stability of the driving component. The driving rod of the driving component passes through the mounting plate and connects to the hinge block. In this way, the hinge block can move up and down under the action of the driving rod. By precisely controlling the stroke and speed of the driving rod, the position and force of the picking component can be adjusted according to the size and shape of different shaft parts to ensure the accuracy and stability of the picking action.
[0009] Furthermore, the picking component includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, one end of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate being connected to the transmission component, and a toggle block being connected to the end of the first clamping plate connected to the transmission component, the toggle block being hinged to the hinge block.
[0010] In the above scheme, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate work together to clamp and release shaft parts. The actuating block is hinged to the hinge block. In this way, the hinge block can drive the actuating block to rotate during the lifting process. The actuating block drives the first clamping plate to rotate and can drive the transmission component to move. The transmission component can drive the second clamping plate to rotate, thus realizing the efficient execution of the shaft part picking action.
[0011] Furthermore, the first clamping plate has a first groove at the end away from the transmission component, and the second clamping plate has a second groove at the end away from the transmission component. The first and second grooves are provided with anti-slip textures.
[0012] In the above scheme, the shapes of the first groove and the second groove can be designed according to the contour of the shaft part, and are generally arc-shaped, so as to better fit the outer surface of the shaft part. The friction provided by the anti-slip texture on the first groove and the second groove can achieve stable clamping of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a connecting plate, a first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft. The connecting plate is connected to the lower part of the mounting plate. The two ends of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the two connecting plates. A first gear is sleeved on both ends of the first rotating shaft near the connecting plate, and a second gear is sleeved on both ends of the second rotating shaft near the connecting plate. The first gear meshes with the second gear.
[0014] In the above scheme, the two connecting plates at the bottom of the mounting plate are used to connect the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are connected by meshing first gear and second gear. When the hinge block drives the actuating block to rotate during the lifting process, the actuating block drives the first clamping plate to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft drives the first gear to rotate, thereby driving the second gear to rotate. The second gear drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, so that the second clamping plate rotates with the rotation of the second rotating shaft.
[0015] Furthermore, the transmission assembly also includes an outer cover, which is connected to the connecting plate to form an accommodating space, and the first gear and the second gear are located within the accommodating space.
[0016] In the above solution, there is often a lot of dust and metal debris in the industrial production environment. The outer cover forms a relatively closed containment space, which can effectively block dust and debris from entering and prevent them from adhering to the first and second gears. Moreover, the outer cover encloses the gears in the containment space, avoiding direct contact between personnel and moving parts, thus improving safety.
[0017] Furthermore, the actuating block includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part is sleeved on the end of the first rotating shaft. The first connecting part is connected to the first clamping plate by a fastener. The second connecting part is connected to the hinge block by a connecting pin.
[0018] In the above scheme, the first connecting part of the toggle block is sleeved on the end of the first rotating shaft and connected to the first clamping plate by fasteners. This connection method ensures a tight fit between the toggle block and the first rotating shaft and the first clamping plate. The second connecting part and the second connecting pin are connected to the hinge block. When the hinge block is raised or lowered, the second connecting part will rotate around the second connecting pin as the axis, thereby driving the first connecting part to rotate. The first connecting part can drive the first clamping plate to rotate. The design of the toggle block makes the power transmission more direct and rapid, so that the first clamping plate can respond to the movement of the hinge block in a timely manner, thereby improving the working efficiency of the entire pickup assembly.
[0019] This utility model discloses a shaft part picker with high modularity, enabling automatic picking of shaft parts and improving picking stability and accuracy. The mounting plate allows the connecting assembly, drive assembly, picking assembly, and transmission assembly to form a modular structure. The connecting assembly connects the picker to robots, etc., so that after picking up the shaft parts, the picker can automatically transfer them via robots. The drive assemblies at both ends of the mounting plate drive the transmission assembly to rotate, which in turn drives the picking assembly to achieve stable and accurate picking of shaft parts. This enables automated picking of shaft parts during production, reducing the workload of workers on the production line. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention provides a shaft-type parts pickup device in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a shaft part picker, comprising a mounting plate 1, a connecting assembly 2, a driving assembly 3, a picking assembly 5, and a transmission assembly 4. The connecting assembly 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 1, two sets of driving assemblies 3 are mounted at both ends of the mounting plate 1, and the transmission assembly 4 is mounted at the lower part of the mounting plate 1. The two sets of picking assemblies 5 are respectively connected to both ends of the transmission assembly 4, and the driving assemblies 3 are connected to the picking assemblies 5. The mounting plate 1 enables the connecting assembly 2, driving assembly 3, picking assembly 5, and transmission assembly 4 to form a modular structure. The connecting assembly 2 is used to connect the picker to robots, etc., so that after the picker picks up the shaft part, the shaft part can be automatically transferred by the robot, etc. The driving assemblies 3 at both ends of the mounting plate 1 can drive the transmission assembly 4 to rotate, and the transmission assembly 4 can drive the picking assembly 5 to move, thereby achieving stable and accurate picking of the shaft part. This enables automated picking of shaft parts during the production process and reduces the workload of workers on the production site.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 3 includes at least two support plates 31, at least two fixing plates 32, and a drive member 33. The fixing plates 32 are connected to the drive member 33. A protrusion 321 extends from one side of the fixing plate 32 and passes through the through hole of the support plate 31. The support plate 31 is fixed on the mounting plate 1. The drive rod 331 of the drive member 33 moves through the mounting plate 1. The drive rod 331 of the drive member 33 is connected to a hinge block 34. The fixing plate 32 and the driving component 33 can be connected together by fasteners such as screws. The protrusion 321 on the fixing plate 32 passes through the through hole, and the support plate 31 is fixed on the mounting plate 1 to achieve stable installation of the fixing plate 32. Thus, the driving component 33 is installed on the support plate 31, and the stability of the driving component 33 is ensured. The driving rod 331 of the driving component 33 passes through the mounting plate 1 and is connected to the hinge block 34. In this way, the hinge block 34 can move up and down under the action of the driving rod 331. By precisely controlling the stroke and speed of the driving rod 331, the position and force of the picking component 5 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of different shaft parts to ensure the accuracy and stability of the picking action.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the picking component 5 includes a first clamping plate 51 and a second clamping plate 52. One end of the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 is connected to the transmission component 4. The end of the first clamping plate 51 connected to the transmission component 4 is connected to a toggle block 53, which is hinged to a hinge block 34. The first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 cooperate to clamp and release shaft-like parts. The toggle block 53 is hinged to the hinge block 34, so that the hinge block 34 can drive the toggle block 53 to rotate during the lifting and lowering process. The toggle block 53 drives the first clamping plate 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission component 4 to move. The transmission component 4 can drive the second clamping plate 52 to rotate, thus realizing the efficient execution of the shaft-like part picking action.
[0028] As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the first clamping plate 51 has a first groove 511 at the end away from the transmission component 4, and the second clamping plate 52 has a second groove 521 at the end away from the transmission component 4. The first groove 511 and the second groove 521 are provided with anti-slip textures. The shapes of the first groove 511 and the second groove 521 can be designed according to the contour of the shaft-like part, generally being arc-shaped, which allows for better contact with the outer surface of the shaft-like part. The friction provided by the anti-slip textures on the first groove 511 and the second groove 521 enables stable clamping of the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 4 includes a connecting plate 41, a first rotating shaft 42, and a second rotating shaft 43. The connecting plate 41 is connected to the lower part of the mounting plate 1. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft 43 are rotatably connected to the two connecting plates 41. A first gear 44 is sleeved at the two ends of the first rotating shaft 42 near the connecting plate 41, and a second gear 45 is sleeved at the two ends of the second rotating shaft 43 near the connecting plate 41. The first gear 44 and the second gear 45 mesh. The two connecting plates 41 at the lower part of the mounting plate 1 are used to connect the first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft 43. The first rotating shaft 42 and the second rotating shaft 43 are connected by transmission through the meshing first gear 44 and the second gear 45. When the hinge block 34 drives the actuating block 53 to rotate during the lifting and lowering process, and the actuating block 53 drives the first clamping plate 51 to rotate, the first rotating shaft 42 rotates and drives the first gear 44 to rotate, thereby driving the second gear 45 to rotate. The second gear 45 drives the second rotating shaft 43 to rotate, so that the second clamping plate 52 rotates with the rotation of the second rotating shaft 43.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 4 further includes an outer cover 46, which is connected to the connecting plate 41 to form an accommodating space, within which the first gear 44 and the second gear 45 are located. Industrial production environments often contain a large amount of dust and metal debris. The outer cover 46 forms a relatively enclosed accommodating space, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering and adhering to the first gear 44 and the second gear 45. Furthermore, the outer cover 46 encloses the gears within the accommodating space, preventing direct contact between personnel and moving parts, thus improving safety.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the actuating block 53 includes a first connecting portion 531 and a second connecting portion 532. The first connecting portion 531 is sleeved on the end of the first rotating shaft 42 and is connected to the first clamping plate 51 by fasteners. The second connecting portion 532 is connected to the hinge block 34 by a connecting pin. The first connecting portion 531 of the actuating block 53 is sleeved on the end of the first rotating shaft 42 and is connected to the first clamping plate 51 by fasteners. This connection method ensures a tight fit between the actuating block 53 and the first rotating shaft 42 and the first clamping plate 51. The second connecting portion 532 is connected to the hinge block 34 by a second connecting pin. When the hinge block 34 rises and falls, the second connecting portion 532 rotates around the second connecting pin, thereby driving the first connecting portion 531 to rotate. The first connecting portion 531 can drive the first clamping plate 51 to rotate. The design of the actuating block 53 makes the power transmission more direct and rapid, enabling the first clamping plate 51 to respond to the movement of the hinge block 34 in a timely manner, thus improving the working efficiency of the entire pickup assembly 5.
[0032] The present invention relates to a shaft-type parts picker. When a shaft-type part needs to be clamped, the drive rod 331 of the drive member 33 descends, causing the hinge block 34 to descend. Under the action of the hinge block 34, the actuating block 53 drives the first clamping plate 51 to rotate. The first clamping plate 51 drives the first rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 42, under the transmission action of the first gear 44 and the second gear 45, drives the second rotating shaft 43 to rotate. In this way, the first clamping plate 51 and the second clamping plate 52 can move closer to each other to clamp the shaft-type part. When it is necessary to release the shaft-type part, the drive rod 331 of the drive member 33 moves in the opposite direction.
