Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of archive management, and in particular to a manipulator for archive storage and access. Background Art

[0002] At present, the use of intelligent filing cabinets is very common. They are used to store files of various models, classifications and categories. The existing intelligent filing cabinets are very troublesome to access, and are generally operated manually, which requires a lot of manpower and equipment investment, seriously affecting the efficiency of management staff, which is very inconvenient and makes work efficiency very low.

[0003] Therefore, the above issues are issues that should be considered and addressed in the design and use of archive access. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a manipulator for file access, and the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A manipulator for storing and retrieving archives, comprising a movable manipulator arm and a storage and retrieval mechanism connected to the movable manipulator arm, wherein the storage and retrieval mechanism is arranged at the end of the manipulator arm, the storage and retrieval mechanism comprises a support, a suction cup assembly and a separate opening and closing door arranged on the support, the suction cup assembly comprises a suction cup, a motor seat is arranged on the support, a clutch assembly is arranged on the motor seat, the opening and closing door is connected to the clutch assembly via a connecting rod, the opening and closing door comprises a connecting seat and a self-opening and closing double door arranged on the connecting seat, and magnets are arranged on both end surfaces of the connecting seat.

[0006] A further improvement of the present invention is that the suction cup assembly also includes an air pipe and a vacuum pump, the air pipe is arranged on the support, one end of the air pipe is connected to the suction cup, and the other end is connected to the vacuum pump.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that: an inclined rod is provided on the support, the connecting rod includes a fixed rod and a movable rod, the fixed rod is arranged at the bottom of the inclined rod, and the outer end of the fixed rod and the suction cup are on the same vertical horizontal line, and a fixed seat is provided at the bottom of the movable rod, and an electromagnet is provided on the fixed seat.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the clutch assembly includes a motor and a lead screw arranged at the output end of the motor, a movable nut is provided on the lead screw, one end of the connecting rod is connected to the movable nut via a connecting plate, and a zero point sensor for limiting the movable nut is provided on the side of the motor seat.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that: a base plate is provided on the connecting seat, cylindrical columns are provided at both ends of the base plate, a door leaf is sleeved on the upper position of the column, a torsion spring is provided at the outer periphery of the column corresponding to the position of the door leaf, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the column, and the other end is connected to the door leaf.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that: concave cavities are provided at both ends of the connecting seat, cushion blocks matching the concave cavities are provided in the concave cavities, through holes are provided on the cushion blocks, and the bottom of the column is arranged in the through holes.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that: a support block is sleeved on the column, and a connecting plate connecting the two columns is provided between the two columns above the support block.

[0012] The present invention provides a file access mechanical arm, which is used for accessing file boxes in existing file cabinets. The mechanical arm uses a mobile trolley and a mechanical arm to drive the access mechanism to move forward, backward, left, right, up and down, and then uses a clutch component to separate and adsorb the opening and closing doors to achieve the purpose of accessing the file boxes.

[0013] Working principle: To take out the file, the mechanical arm aligns the suction cup with the position of the file box, and the suction cup directly absorbs the file box, and then the mechanical arm lifts it up to a certain height (because there are guardrails along the edges of the existing filing cabinets, it is necessary to lift the file box to a height beyond the edge of the book column), and then the mechanical arm moves backward to take out the file;

[0014] Archiving: When archiving, first place the detachable opening and closing door at the position where the files need to be stored in the filing cabinet (the filing cabinet is made of metal, and the opening and closing door is adsorbed by magnets). The overall action is achieved by the motor driving the connecting rod, and the suction cup pushes the sucked file box from the opening and closing door until the file box is placed in the compartment of the filing cabinet bucket board. After the file box is placed in place, the suction cup is released, and then the opening and closing door is sucked by the electromagnet using the connecting rod, and then the whole thing is lifted up and returned to its position.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: its structure is simple, the operation is simple and convenient, the personnel cost and time cost of file access are greatly reduced, the file management is convenient, and the automatic access function of the file can be better realized, avoiding the problem that the file box is inconvenient to store after opening during long-term use, and the opening is automatically closed by the opening and closing door during the storage process until the file box enters the file cabinet, and has a very broad application prospect.
