Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling robot technology, and in particular to a material handling robot with a buffer structure. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing of steel-cased batteries, it is necessary to move the batteries into or out of the production line. This is typically done using a robotic gripper to improve automation and production efficiency. However, existing robotic grippers require a moving cylinder to position them directly above the battery before moving them downwards to contact and grasp the battery. This contact exerts a pressing force on the battery, which can easily flatten the casing. Excessive pressure can also damage the internal structure, rendering the battery unusable. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a gripping robot with a buffer structure, which aims to provide a gripping robot that can grip and protect steel-cased batteries.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a material handling robot with a buffer structure, including a driving component, a gripping component, and a buffer component. The buffer component includes a buffer frame, the driving end of the driving component is connected to the buffer frame, the buffer frame is provided with a buffer guide rail and a buffer slider, the buffer slider is slidably disposed on the buffer guide rail, and an assembly frame is provided on the buffer slider. The gripping component is assembled on the lower surface of the assembly frame.

[0005] Specifically, the gripper includes a suction block, and an assembly block is provided at the lower end of the assembly frame, with the suction block installed on the lower surface of the assembly block.

[0006] Specifically, the buffer frame is provided with a spring guide rod, which is located above the assembly frame, and the lower end of the spring guide rod is connected to the upper end of the assembly frame.

[0007] Specifically, the driving component includes a driving cylinder and a rotary motor. A connecting plate is provided on one side of the rotary motor. The piston rod end of the driving cylinder is connected to the connecting plate and drives the rotary motor to reciprocate in the vertical direction. The motor shaft end of the rotary motor is connected to the buffer component.

[0008] Specifically, the rotating motor has a rotating frame at the end of its shaft, the buffer is fixedly connected to the rotating frame, a rotating induction switch is provided on the outer shell of the rotating motor, and a sensing block corresponding to the rotating induction switch is provided on the rotating frame. The rotating frame achieves rotational positioning through the cooperation of the rotating induction switch and the sensing block.

[0009] Specifically, the rotary induction switch is provided with an induction slot, and when the rotary motor stops rotating, the induction block is located in the induction slot.

[0010] This utility model's technical solution involves setting a buffer frame on the drive component and then placing the gripper on the buffer frame. The buffer slider and buffer rail work together to achieve contact buffering when gripping or releasing steel-cased batteries, thereby avoiding hard contact between the gripping robot and the steel-cased batteries and improving the yield of steel-cased batteries.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a material-gripping robot with a buffer structure includes a drive component, a gripper component, and a buffer component. The buffer component includes a buffer frame. The drive end of the drive component is connected to the buffer frame. The buffer frame is provided with a buffer guide rail 10 and a buffer slider 11. The buffer slider 11 is slidably mounted on the buffer guide rail 10. An assembly frame 13 is provided on the buffer slider 11, and the gripper component is assembled on the lower surface of the assembly frame 13. When gripping steel-cased batteries, by setting the buffer frame on the drive component and then setting the gripper component on the buffer frame, the contact buffering during gripping or unloading of steel-cased batteries is achieved through the cooperation of the buffer slider 11 and the buffer guide rail, thereby avoiding hard contact between the material-gripping robot and the steel-cased batteries and improving the yield of steel-cased batteries.

[0018] The gripping component includes a suction block 12, and an assembly block 14 is provided at the lower end of the assembly frame 13. The suction block 12 is installed on the lower surface of the assembly block 14. In this embodiment, by providing the assembly block 14 at the lower end of the assembly frame 13 and then installing the suction block 12 on the lower surface of the assembly block 14, the suction block 12 can grip and pick up the steel-cased battery, thereby facilitating stable gripping and transportation of the steel-cased battery.

[0019] A spring guide rod 15 is provided on the buffer frame, located above the assembly frame 13, with its lower end connected to the upper end of the assembly frame 13. In this embodiment, the spring guide rod 15 on the buffer frame facilitates the guiding and positioning of the assembly frame 13, thereby improving the buffering effect.

[0020] The driving component includes a driving cylinder and a rotary motor 16. A connecting plate 17 is provided on one side of the rotary motor 16. The piston rod end of the driving cylinder is connected to the connecting plate 17 and drives the rotary motor 16 to reciprocate in the vertical direction. The motor shaft end of the rotary motor 16 is connected to a buffer component. In this embodiment, the driving cylinder drives the rotary motor 16 to move in the vertical direction, thereby facilitating the gripping or unloading of the steel-cased battery. At the same time, the rotary motor 16 rotates the steel-cased battery, thereby facilitating the rotation of the steel-cased battery to change its angle before placement.

[0021] A rotating frame is provided at the end of the motor shaft of the rotary motor 16. A buffer is fixedly connected to the rotating frame. A rotary induction switch 18 is provided on the outer casing of the rotary motor 16. A sensing block 19 corresponding to the rotary induction switch 18 is provided on the rotating frame. The rotating frame achieves rotational positioning through the cooperation of the rotary induction switch 18 and the sensing block 19. The rotary induction switch 18 is provided with a sensing slot. When the rotary motor 16 stops rotating, the sensing block 19 is located in the sensing slot. In this embodiment, the rotary induction switch 18 and the sensing block 19 are provided to control the rotation angle of the rotary motor 16, thereby achieving directional rotation of the steel-cased battery.
