Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum profile processing equipment, and in particular to a device for clamping aluminum profiles. Background Art
[0002] In the production process of aluminum profiles, it is necessary to form an oxide film on the surface of the aluminum profile to improve the wear resistance of the aluminum profile and extend its service life. During the oxidation coloring process, the aluminum profile needs to be clamped and fixed, and the fixed aluminum profile is placed in the oxidation solution to complete the oxidation coloring process. During this working process, a clamp is needed to clamp the end of the aluminum profile. The clamp can be a pneumatic oxidation electrophoresis clamp on the market.
[0003] Of course, the aluminum profile clamp can also be an upper row clamp for aluminum oxidation as disclosed in the utility model patent with announcement number CN205907370U, which includes a left clamp assembly and a right clamp assembly, and the left clamp assembly and the right clamp assembly are respectively composed of a hinged part, a clamping part and a protrusion, the hinged part of the left clamp assembly and the hinged part of the right clamp assembly are hinged by an axle pin, the protrusion of the left clamp assembly and the protrusion of the right clamp assembly touch and dock together, and a space is formed between the protrusion and the hinged part; a spring is sleeved on the axle pin, and a fixing card is provided on the hinged part, and the fixing card fixes the spring.
[0004] However, currently, the aluminum profile clamp is basically clamped at the end of the aluminum profile by manual method. Moreover, the staff needs to overcome the force of the torsion spring to open the spacing space of the aluminum profile clamp, thereby increasing the clamping mouth of the aluminum profile clamp and clamping the end of the aluminum profile clamp. This method has the disadvantages of being laborious, labor-intensive and inefficient, which seriously affects the economic benefits of the enterprise. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for clamping aluminum profiles to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.
[0006] The technical solutions adopted to solve the above technical problems are:
[0007] The present invention provides a device for clamping aluminum profiles, the device comprising:
[0008] A clamping manipulator, comprising a clamping jaw, a first driving member and a second driving member; the clamping jaws are provided with two and are symmetrically arranged; the first driving member is connected to the two clamping jaws, and the first driving member can drive the two clamping jaws to move closer to each other to clamp the aluminum profile fixture; the second driving member is connected to the first driving member to drive the first driving member to move in the up and down direction;
[0009] A clamping manipulator is arranged below the clamping manipulator, and the clamping manipulator comprises a spreading claw and a third driving member; the spreading claws are provided with two and are symmetrically arranged; the third driving member is connected to the two spreading claws, and the third driving member can drive the two spreading claws to move away from each other to spread the space between the aluminum profile clamps;
[0010] The driving mechanism is connected to the clamping robot to drive the clamping robot to move in the horizontal direction; the driving mechanism is connected to the clamping robot to drive the clamping robot to move in the horizontal direction.
[0011] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the clamping robot can transfer the aluminum profile clamp to the clamping robot, drive the two clamping jaws to move closer to each other through the first driving member to clamp the aluminum profile clamp, and use the second driving member to adjust the height position of the clamping jaws; the clamping robot can clamp the aluminum profile clamp at the end of the aluminum profile, and under the drive of the driving mechanism, the clamping robot moves horizontally and places the aluminum profile clamp on the spreading claws, and drives the two spreading claws away from each other through the third driving member, and the spreading claws exert a force on the spaced spaces of the aluminum profile clamp to spread the spaced spaces of the aluminum profile clamp, and under the drive of the driving mechanism, the clamping robot moves with the aluminum profile clamp toward the end of the aluminum profile, and after the two spreading claws move closer to each other, the aluminum profile clamp is clamped on the end of the aluminum profile, and the clamping work is automatically completed.
[0012] The present invention delivers the aluminum profile clamp to the opening claws of the clamping robot through the clamping robot, and uses the third driving member to drive the opening claws to move away from each other, thereby overcoming the action force of the torsion spring on the aluminum profile clamp and opening the clamping mouth of the aluminum profile clamp, without the need for manual operation, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the device further includes:
[0014] a fourth driving member connected to the third driving member to drive the third driving member to move in the up-down direction; the driving mechanism is connected to the fourth driving member to drive the fourth driving member to move in the horizontal direction;
[0015] A supporting platform is located below the clamping manipulator and is used for placing the aluminum profile clamp.
[0016] A support platform is provided below the clamping manipulator, which is used for the clamping manipulator to clamp the aluminum profile fixture and transfer it to the support platform. Under the operation of the fourth driving member, the clamping manipulator can descend, so that the open claw can be inserted into the space between the aluminum profile fixtures on the support platform, and under the drive of the driving mechanism, the clamping manipulator drives the aluminum profile fixture to move to the end of the aluminum profile. With such a design, the support platform acts as a transfer station, which is convenient for the clamping manipulator to place the aluminum profile fixture on the support platform while the clamping manipulator clamps the end of the aluminum profile, without waiting for the clamping manipulator to reset, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0017] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the support platform is provided with an opening; the clamping manipulator is arranged below the support platform, and the two spreading claws can pass through the opening from bottom to top and move in the horizontal direction;
[0018] The device also includes:
[0019] A clamping piece is arranged above the opening and can abut against the top surface of the aluminum profile clamp;
[0020] A swinging member connected to one end of the clamping member, the swinging member is provided with a connecting shaft, the axial direction of the connecting shaft is consistent with the moving direction of the clamping manipulator and the direction of the clamping manipulator;
[0021] A fixing seat connected to the supporting platform, the fixing seat being provided with a connecting hole, the connecting shaft being provided in the connecting hole;
[0022] The torsion spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the connecting shaft, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the fixing seat.
[0023] The clamping piece is arranged above the opening, and the swinging piece is provided with a connecting shaft, which is rotatably connected with the fixing seat through the connecting shaft. Moreover, the setting of the torsion spring can cause the clamping piece to remain suspended. When the clamping manipulator sends the aluminum profile clamp to between the support platform and the clamping piece, the clamping piece can abut against the top surface of the aluminum profile clamp, thereby clamping the aluminum profile clamp placed on the support platform to avoid the aluminum profile clamp from being misaligned, which causes the clamping manipulator to be unable to pick up the aluminum profile clamp. Moreover, the clamping manipulator is arranged below the support platform. In order to avoid the clamping manipulator being obstructed by the clamping piece when moving horizontally, the support platform is provided with an opening, so that the two opening claws can pass through the opening upwards under the drive of the fourth driving member and be inserted into the spaced space of the aluminum profile clamp. Then, under the action of the driving mechanism, the opening claws drive the aluminum profile clamp to move horizontally.
[0024] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the clamping member is a round rod, the axial direction of the clamping member is consistent with the axial direction of the connecting shaft, and the other end of the clamping member is provided with a guide portion that is tilted upward.
[0025] The clamping piece is a round rod with a smooth surface and no edges and corners, which can reduce the friction between the clamping piece and the aluminum profile fixture. The axial direction of the clamping piece is consistent with the axial direction of the connecting shaft, which can increase the area of pressure applied by the clamping piece to the aluminum profile fixture, thereby preventing the aluminum profile fixture from rotating horizontally. An upward-curved guide part is set at the other end of the clamping piece. When the clamping manipulator sends the aluminum profile fixture to the support platform, the guide part plays a good guiding role, so that the aluminum profile fixture can be smoothly moved to the position between the support platform and the clamping piece.
[0026] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the driving mechanism includes:
[0027] Support seat;
[0028] A linear guide rail connected to the support seat, wherein the length direction of the linear guide rail is consistent with the moving direction of the clamping manipulator;
[0029] A sliding block connected to the linear guide rail;
[0030] A first mounting seat, which is provided with the sliding block; the first mounting seat is connected to the fourth driving member;
[0031] A second mounting seat, which is provided with the sliding block; the second mounting seat is connected to the second driving member, and the second mounting seat is connected to the first mounting seat;
[0032] A driving device is arranged on the supporting seat, and the driving device is connected to the first mounting seat or the second mounting seat to drive the first mounting seat to move.
[0033] The first mounting seat is fixed to the fourth driving member, the first mounting seat is provided with a sliding block, the second mounting seat is fixed to the second driving member, the second mounting seat is provided with a sliding block, and a linear guide is provided on the support seat, and the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat can move back and forth smoothly along the linear guide through the sliding connection between the sliding block and the linear guide. Moreover, the first mounting seat is connected to the second mounting seat, and the driving device is arranged on the support seat and connected to the first mounting seat or the second mounting seat, so as to realize the synchronous movement of the clamping manipulator and the clamping manipulator, and reduce the energy consumption of the driving mechanism.
[0034] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the driving device is a synchronous belt linear module. The use of the synchronous belt linear module can accurately control the horizontal movement positions of the clamping manipulator and the clamping manipulator.
[0035] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the first driving member is a finger cylinder, the second driving member is a first telescopic cylinder, and the fourth driving member is a second telescopic cylinder. This design makes the movement of the clamping claw and the spreading claw more rapid and stable, which is conducive to improving work efficiency.
[0036] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the clamping jaws are provided with clamping surfaces, and both sides of the clamping surfaces are provided with limiting parts, and the clamping surfaces and limiting parts of the two clamping jaws can fit with the side surfaces of the aluminum profile clamp. The clamping jaws are provided with clamping surfaces and limiting parts located on both sides of the clamping surfaces. When the two clamping jaws are brought close to each other to clamp the aluminum profile clamp, the clamping surfaces and limiting parts can fit with the side surfaces of the aluminum profile clamp, thereby preventing the aluminum profile clamp from moving relative to the clamping jaws, thereby causing the spread jaws of the clamping manipulator to be unable to accurately insert into the spaced space of the aluminum profile clamp.
[0037] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the third driving member includes:
[0038] A pin shaft, the axis of which extends in the up-down direction; both of the two spreading claws are provided with hinge holes, and the pin shaft is arranged in the hinge holes;

[0041] The third telescopic cylinder has a telescopic rod hinged to the other ends of the two connecting rods; the third telescopic cylinder is connected to the shell.
[0042] Two connecting rods are provided, and the two connecting rods are hinged to the two spreading claws one by one to form a scissor-fork structure; the two spreading claws are hinged to each other, and a pin is provided at their hinges, and two positioning holes are correspondingly provided on the shell, and the two ends of the pin are correspondingly inserted into the positioning holes to realize the positioning of the pin; and a third telescopic cylinder is provided, and the connecting rods are hinged to the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder. When the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder is extended or shortened, the two spreading claws can be moved closer to or away from each other around their hinges, thereby loosening or spreading the aluminum profile clamp.

Under the drive of the third telescopic cylinder, the connecting block can move along the slide groove, and the slide groove has a limiting and supporting effect on the connecting block, which not only prevents the connecting block from shaking, but also reduces the force on the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder, thereby preventing the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder from bending.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , several embodiments of the device for clamping aluminum profiles of the present invention are given below.
[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, the main structure of the existing aluminum profile clamp 200 is basically the same as the upper row clamp disclosed in the utility model patent with announcement number CN205907370U, which is formed by a first clamping arm 210 and a second clamping arm 220 connected by a hinge shaft and a torsion spring. Under the action of the torsion spring, the first clamping arm 210 and the second clamping arm 220 can clamp the end of the aluminum profile. A spacing space 230 and a clamping opening 240 are formed between the first clamping arm 210 and the second clamping arm 220.
[0064] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device for clamping aluminum profiles, the device comprising: a clamping robot 600, a clamping robot 700 and a driving mechanism.
[0065] Among them, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping manipulator 600 includes a clamping jaw 640, a first driving member and a second driving member. The clamping jaw 640 can be made of a metal material. Two clamping jaws 640 are provided and are symmetrically arranged about the front-back direction. The clamping jaw 640 is provided with a clamping surface 670, and the left and right sides of the clamping surface 670 are both provided with a limiting portion 660. The clamping surfaces 670 and the limiting portion 660 of the two clamping jaws 640 form a clamping cavity 650, and can fit with the side of the aluminum profile clamp 200 to prevent the aluminum profile clamp 200 from moving relative to the clamping jaw 640.
[0066] The first driving member is connected to the two clamping jaws 640, and the first driving member can drive the two clamping jaws 640 to move closer to each other to clamp the aluminum profile clamp 200. In this embodiment, the first driving member is a finger cylinder 630, and when the finger cylinder 630 works, the two clamping jaws 640 can quickly move closer or farther away.
[0067] In addition, the first driving member can also be two telescopic cylinders that respectively drive the two clamping jaws 640 to move closer together; or, each clamping jaw 640 is provided with a rack, and the output shaft of the motor is provided with a gear, wherein the rack of one clamping jaw 640 is located above the gear, and the rack of the other clamping jaw 640 is located below the gear, and is meshed and connected with the two racks through the gear. When the motor is working, the gear drives the two racks to move simultaneously, thereby achieving the mutual approach of the two clamping jaws.
[0068] The second driving member is connected to the first driving member to drive the first driving member to move in the up-down direction. In this embodiment, the second driving member is the first telescopic cylinder 610. The telescopic rod of the first telescopic cylinder 610 is connected to the connecting plate 620 located above the first telescopic cylinder 610, and the first driving member is connected to the connecting plate 620. When the telescopic rod of the first telescopic cylinder 610 is extended, the clamping claw 640 moves upward; otherwise, the clamping claw 640 moves downward. Of course, the first telescopic cylinder 610 can also be arranged above the connecting plate 620.
[0069] In addition, the second driving member can also be a screw transmission mechanism, a synchronous belt linear module, an electric push rod, etc.
[0070] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the clamping robot 700 is disposed below the clamping robot 600. The clamping robot 700 includes a spreading claw 750 and a third driving member 740.
[0071] The opening claw 750 can be made of metal material, and two opening claws 750 are provided and are symmetrically arranged about the front-back direction. In this embodiment, the opening claw 750 is composed of a swing arm 748 and a cylindrical body 749, and the cylindrical body 749 is arranged above the swing arm 748, and the cylindrical body 749 is integrally formed with the left end of the swing arm 748.
[0072] The cylindrical portion 749 can be inserted into the spacing space 230 of the aluminum profile clamp 200. When the cylindrical portions 749 move away from each other, the cylindrical portions 749 will exert force on the wall surface of the spacing space 230 of the aluminum profile clamp 200, causing the clamping opening 240 of the aluminum profile clamp 200 to increase, so that it can clamp on the end of the aluminum profile.
[0073] The cylindrical body 749 is used to prevent damage to the wall surface of the space 230 of the aluminum profile fixture 200. According to actual selection, the cylindrical body 749 can also be replaced by a prismatic body.
[0074] The third driving member 740 is connected to the two opening claws 750 , and the third driving member 740 can drive the two opening claws 750 to move away from each other to open the space 230 of the aluminum profile clamp 200 .
[0075] In this embodiment, the third driving member 740 includes a pin shaft 747 , a connecting rod 745 , a housing 742 and a third telescopic cylinder 741 .
[0076] The axis of the pin 747 extends along the up-down direction (ie, the Z axis). Both of the two opening claws 750 are provided with hinge holes, in which the pin 747 is arranged, and the aperture of the hinge hole is suitable for the diameter of the pin 747.
[0077] There are two connecting rods 745. One end of one of the connecting rods 745 is hinged to one end of one of the opening claws 750, and one end of the other connecting rod 745 is hinged to one end of the other opening claw 750. The other ends of the two connecting rods 745 are hinged to the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder 741, so that the connecting rods 745 and the opening claws 750 form a scissor-fork structure.
[0078] The housing 742 is formed by two symmetrical parts connected by bolts. The housing 742 is provided with two positioning holes 744, and the two ends of the pin 747 are respectively inserted into the two positioning holes 744 to achieve the positioning of the pin 747, and the pin 747 cannot move.
[0079] The third telescopic cylinder 741 is connected to the housing 742 by bolts, and the third telescopic cylinder 741 is located on the right side of the housing 742 .
[0080] When the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder 741 is extended or shortened, since the pin shaft 747 is fixed to the shell 742, the two spreading claws 750 are prompted to swing around their hinges (i.e., the pin shaft 747) through the action of the connecting rod 745, so that they move closer to or away from each other, thereby loosening or spreading the aluminum profile clamp 200.
[0081] Furthermore, the housing 742 is provided with a slide groove 743, the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder 741 is provided with a connecting block 746, and the two connecting rods 745 are both hinged to the connecting block 746, and when the third telescopic cylinder 741 drives the connecting block 746 to move left or right, the connecting block 746 can move back and forth along the slide groove 743. The slide groove 743 has a limiting and supporting effect on the connecting block 746, which not only prevents the connecting block 746 from shaking, but also reduces the force on the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder 741, thereby preventing the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder 741 from bending.
[0082] The driving mechanism is connected to the clamping robot 600 to drive the clamping robot 600 to move in the horizontal direction; the driving mechanism is connected to the clamping robot 700 to drive the clamping robot 700 to move in the horizontal direction.
[0083] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a mounting seat and two synchronous belt linear modules. The two synchronous belt linear modules are arranged on the mounting seat and are respectively connected to the clamping manipulator 600 and the clamping manipulator 700 in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to enable the clamping manipulator 600 and the clamping manipulator 700 to move in the horizontal direction respectively.
[0084] In this embodiment, the clamping robot 600 is located above the clamping robot 700. When the synchronous belt linear module is working, the clamping robot 600 can place the aluminum profile clamp 200 on the clamping robot 700. At this time, the two opening claws 750 are inserted into the spaced space 230 of the aluminum profile clamp 200. After the two opening claws 750 move away from each other, the clamping mouth 240 of the aluminum profile clamp 200 is opened. When another synchronous belt linear module is working, the clamping robot 700 sends the aluminum profile clamp 200 to the end of the aluminum profile. After the opening claws 750 move closer to each other, the aluminum profile clamp 200 returns to its original state due to its torsion spring, thereby clamping the end of the aluminum profile.
[0085] The clamping robot 700 moves in the left and right directions, and the clamping robot 600 can move in the front and back directions or in the left and right directions.
[0086] Of course, a screw drive mechanism or a telescopic cylinder may also be used instead of the synchronous belt linear module.
[0087] The present invention delivers the aluminum profile clamp 200 to the opening claw 750 of the clamping robot 700 through the clamping robot 600, and uses the third driving member 740 to drive the two opening claws 750 to move away from each other, thereby overcoming the force of the torsion spring on the aluminum profile clamp 200 and opening the clamping mouth 240 of the aluminum profile clamp 200, saving time and effort, and requiring no manual operation, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.
[0088] In actual work, a device for clamping the aluminum profile is respectively arranged at both ends of the aluminum profile to automatically clamp the two ends of the aluminum profile.
[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the device for clamping aluminum profiles also includes: a fourth driving member and a supporting platform 910.
[0090] The fourth driving member is connected to the third driving member 740 of the clamping robot 700 to drive the third driving member 740 to move in the up-down direction. The driving mechanism is connected to the fourth driving member to drive the fourth driving member to move in the horizontal direction.
[0091] In this embodiment, the fourth driving member is the second telescopic cylinder 710. The connecting seat 720 is provided with a guide rail extending in the up-down direction, the third driving member 740 is provided with a slider 730, the slider 730 is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the telescopic rod of the second telescopic cylinder 710 is connected to the slider 730.
[0092] By using the guide rail, the slider 730 and the second telescopic cylinder 710, when the telescopic rod of the second telescopic cylinder 710 is working, the slider 730 can move up and down smoothly and quickly along the guide rail, so that the height position of the clamping robot 700 can be adjusted.
[0093] Of course, the fourth driving member can also adopt a screw transmission mechanism, an electric push rod, a synchronous belt linear module, etc.
[0094] The support platform 910 is located below the clamping robot 600 to place the aluminum profile fixture 200. The support platform 910 can be a metal plate supported by a bracket.
[0095] A support platform 910 is provided below the clamping robot 600, and is used for the clamping robot 600 to clamp the aluminum profile fixture 200 and transfer it to a set position of the support platform 910. The clamping robot 700 can be lowered under the operation of the fourth driving member, so that the opening claw 750 can be inserted from top to bottom into the spacing space 230 of the aluminum profile fixture 200 on the support platform 910, and under the driving of the third driving member 740, the opening claw 750 will open the aluminum profile fixture 200. Then, under the driving of the driving mechanism, the clamping robot 700 drives the aluminum profile fixture 200 to move to the end of the aluminum profile.
[0096] With this design, the support platform 910 acts as a transfer station, which makes it convenient for the clamping robot 600 to clamp the aluminum profile clamp 200 and transfer it to the support platform 910 while the clamping robot 700 clamps the end of the aluminum profile. There is no need to wait for the clamping robot 700 to reset, which is beneficial to improving work efficiency.
[0097] In this embodiment, the clamping robot 700 moves in the left-right direction, and the clamping robot 600 can move in the front-back direction or the left-right direction. The cylindrical part 749 of the clamping robot 700 faces downward.
[0098] Furthermore, the moving directions of the clamping robot 700 and the clamping robot 600 are consistent, both moving in the left-right direction. In addition, the driving mechanism includes: a support seat 550, a linear guide rail 560, a sliding block, a first mounting seat 570, a second mounting seat 580 and a driving device.
[0099] Two linear guide rails 560 are provided and connected to the support base 550 by bolts. The length direction of the linear guide rail 560 is consistent with the moving direction (ie, the Y axis) of the clamping robot 700 .
[0100] The sliding block is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 560 .
[0101] The sliding block is disposed at the bottom of the first mounting seat 570 ; the first mounting seat 570 is connected to the fourth driving member via bolts.
[0102] The bottom of the second mounting seat 580 is provided with the sliding block; the second mounting seat 580 is connected to the second driving member by bolts. In addition, the second mounting seat 580 is connected to the first mounting seat 570 by a connecting rod 590, so that the distance between the first mounting seat 570 and the second mounting seat 580 is constant, and the first mounting seat 570 and the second mounting seat 580 can move synchronously.
[0103] The driving device is disposed on the supporting seat 550 , and is connected to the first mounting seat 570 or the second mounting seat 580 to drive the first mounting seat 570 or the second mounting seat 580 to move.
[0104] In this embodiment, the driving device is a synchronous belt linear module. The synchronous belt linear module includes a servo motor 510, a driving pulley 520, a belt 530 and a driven pulley 540. The servo motor 510 is mounted on a support seat 550, the driving pulley 520 is arranged on the output shaft of the servo motor 510, and the driven pulley 540 is arranged on the support seat 550 and can rotate. The belt 530 is wound between the driving pulley 520 and the driven pulley 540.
[0105] The second mounting seat 580 is fixed to the belt 530 via a belt clamp. When the servo motor 510 is working, the belt 530 can drive the second mounting seat 580 to move in the left or right direction.
[0106] The driving device can also be a screw-type linear module, a telescopic cylinder, etc.
[0107] The drive mechanism with this structure can not only realize the synchronous movement of the clamping robot 600 and the clamping robot 700, but also reduce the energy consumption of the drive mechanism, without setting up two units to drive the clamping robot 600 and the clamping robot 700 respectively.
[0108] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the support platform 910 is provided with an opening 911, which may be a U-shaped opening. The clamping robot 700 is arranged below the support platform 910, and the two opening claws 750 can pass through the opening 911 from bottom to top and move in the horizontal direction.
[0109] In addition, the device for clamping aluminum profiles further includes: a clamping member 920, a swinging member 930, a fixing seat 940 and a torsion spring.
[0110] The clamping member 920 is disposed above the opening 911 and can abut against the top surface of the aluminum profile clamp 200. In this embodiment, the clamping member 920 is a round rod with a smooth surface and no edges and corners, which can reduce the friction between the clamping member 920 and the top surface of the aluminum profile clamp 200. Of course, the clamping member 920 can also be a metal member or a plastic member of other shapes.
[0111] The axial direction of the clamping member 920 is consistent with the axial direction of the connecting shaft (ie, the Y axis), which can increase the area of pressure applied by the clamping member 920 to the aluminum profile clamp 200, thereby preventing the aluminum profile clamp 200 from rotating horizontally.
[0112] The other end (ie the right end) of the clamping member 920 is provided with an upwardly tilted guide portion 921 , and the guide portion 921 and the clamping member 920 are integrally formed.
[0113] The distance between the clamping member 920 and the supporting platform 910 is slightly smaller than the height of the aluminum profile clamp 200. When the clamping robot 600 sends the aluminum profile clamp 200 to the supporting platform 910, the guide part 921 plays a good guiding role, allowing the aluminum profile clamp 200 to move smoothly to the position between the supporting platform 910 and the clamping member 920.
[0114] The rear end of the swing member 930 is connected to the left end of the clamping member 920, and the front end of the swing member 930 is provided with a connecting shaft, and the axial direction of the connecting shaft is consistent with the moving direction of the clamping robot 700 and the direction of the clamping robot 600 (i.e., the Y axis). The swing member 930, the clamping member 920 and the connecting shaft are integrally formed. The swing member 930 can be in a square shape, a cylindrical shape, etc.
[0115] The fixing seat 940 is connected to the supporting platform 910 by bolts. The fixing seat 940 is provided with a connecting hole. The hole diameter of the connecting hole is suitable for the diameter of the connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is installed in the connecting hole.
[0116] The torsion spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft, and one end of the torsion spring is connected to the connecting shaft. Specifically, a positioning column can be set on the circumference of the connecting shaft, one end of the torsion spring is snap-connected to the positioning column, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the fixing seat 940.
[0117] The clamping member 920 is arranged above the opening 911, and the swinging member 930 is provided with a connecting shaft, which is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 940 through the connecting shaft. In addition, through the setting of the torsion spring, the clamping member 920 can be kept in a suspended state. When the clamping robot 600 sends the aluminum profile clamp 200 to between the supporting platform 910 and the clamping member 920, the clamping member 920 can abut against the top surface of the aluminum profile clamp 200, thereby clamping the aluminum profile clamp 200 placed on the supporting platform 910, avoiding the aluminum profile clamp 200 from being misaligned, resulting in the clamping robot 700 being unable to open the aluminum profile clamp 200.
[0118] Moreover, the clamping robot 700 is arranged below the supporting platform 910. In order to prevent the clamping robot 700 from being obstructed by the clamping member 920 when moving horizontally, the supporting platform 910 is provided with an opening 911, so that the two spreading claws 750 can pass through the opening 911 upwards under the drive of the fourth driving member and be inserted into the spaced space 230 of the aluminum profile clamp 200. Then, under the action of the driving mechanism, the spreading claws 750 drive the aluminum profile clamp 200 to move horizontally.
[0119] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are specifically described above, but the invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
