[0051] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0052] As Figures 1-5 shown, it is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a grasping device.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , this embodiment is used for grasping a cloth 300, and includes a bracket 110, a clamping mechanism 120, an induction mechanism 130, an adaptive mechanism 140, a bottom supporting mechanism 150 and a vision mechanism 160.

[0054] The grasping device of this embodiment has a symmetrical structure. The bracket 110 is used for the installation and support of each component mechanism. The clamping mechanisms 120 are distributed on both sides of the bracket 110. The clamping mechanisms 120 are connected to the bracket 110 and are used for clamping the cloth 300. The sensing mechanisms 130 are correspondingly distributed at positions adjacent to the clamping mechanisms 120. The sensing mechanisms 130 are connected to the bracket 110 and are used for detecting the position of the cloth 300 in the clamping mechanisms 120. The adaptive mechanism 140 is located in the middle of the bracket 110. The adaptive mechanism 140 is connected to the bracket 110 and drives the bracket 110 to move in the vertical direction, increasing the flexibility of the grasping device. The bottom support mechanism 150 is correspondingly arranged with the clamping mechanism 120. The bottom support mechanism 150 is connected to the bracket 110 and is used for supporting the bottom of the cloth 300, increasing the stability during the grasping process of the cloth 300. The vision mechanism 160 is correspondingly arranged with the clamping mechanism 120. The vision mechanism 160 is connected to the bracket 110 and is used for detecting the placement direction of the cloth 300, and then controlling the grasping direction of the grasping device.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanisms 120 are distributed at both ends of the bracket 110. The clamping mechanism 120 includes a first clamping plate 121, a second clamping plate 122, and a first power device 123. One end of the first clamping plate 121 is fixedly connected to the bracket 110, and a first roller 124 is provided at the other end of the first clamping plate 121. One end of the second clamping plate 122 is movably connected to the bracket 110. The first power device 123 drives the second clamping plate 122 to move closer to or away from the first clamping plate 121, and the cloth 300 is clamped by the first clamping plate 121 and the second clamping plate 122. The first power device 123 can be a cylinder. The cylinder is fixedly connected to the bracket 110, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is connected to the second clamping plate 122. The cylinder pushes the second clamping plate 122 to open or close, and cooperates with the fixed first clamping plate 121 to achieve the clamping action.

[0056] When the clamping mechanism 120 is in the open state, the height of the first clamping plate 121 is higher than the extended height of the second clamping plate 122. Therefore, the first roller 124 extends a certain distance. When the grasping device moves downward, the first roller 124 is inserted between two pieces of cloth 300 to separate the two pieces of cloth. As Figure 6 shown, since the cloth 300 will lean against each other in pairs during stacking, when the clamping mechanism 120 descends, the first roller 124 starts to roll driven by the motor. The first roller 124 will first contact the cloth 300. After the first roller 124 drives the cloth 300 to roll a certain distance, the cloth 300 and the cloth 300 will be separated.

[0057] Furthermore, the inner side of the first clamping plate 121 is a first arc surface 121a, and the other end of the second clamping plate 122 is provided with a second arc surface 122b. The first arc surface 121a and the second arc surface 122b are arranged oppositely. Such arc surfaces are fitted to the surface of the cylindrical cloth 300, which can further improve the stability when the cloth 300 is grasped, making the grasping more firm and avoiding the cloth from falling during the transfer process.

[0058] As Figure 7 shown, in the initial state, the air cylinder is in a contracted state, and the clamping mechanism 120 is in an open state; after the clamping mechanism 120 reaches the position, when the sensing mechanism 130 senses the cloth 300, the air cylinder pushes out, and the clamping mechanism 120 is in a closed state.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sensing mechanism 130 includes a second roller 131, a spring 132, a support frame 133, a connecting rod 134, a connecting plate 135 and a first sensor 136. The sensing mechanism 130 is located in the clamping interval of the clamping mechanism 120, that is, the second roller 131 in the sensing mechanism 130 is located between the first clamping plate 121 and the second clamping plate 122 of the clamping mechanism 120, and the first sensor 136 is a proximity sensor. The support frame 133 is fixedly connected to the support 110. The support frame 133 is connected to the upper surface of the support 110, and the support frame 133 is higher than the support 110 by a certain distance; the connecting rod 134 is movably connected to the support frame 133. Specifically, a sleeve is added to the surface of the support frame 133, and then the connecting rod 134 is inserted into the sleeve, and the connecting rod 134 moves up and down telescopically in the sleeve.

[0060] The lower end of the connecting rod 134 is connected to the second roller 131. The spring 132 is sleeved in the connecting rod 134, and the spring 132 is located between the second roller 131 and the support frame 133. Under the elastic action of the spring 132, the connecting rod 132 moves up and down telescopically in the sleeve. The upper end of the connecting rod 134 is higher than the support frame 133, and the upper end is connected to the connecting plate 135. There is a first sensor 136 above the connecting plate 135. The first sensor 136 is suspended above the connecting plate 135, and the two are arranged oppositely. The first sensor 136 is fixedly connected to the support frame 133. Through the elastic action, the distance between the connecting plate 135 and the first sensor 136 is variable. When the distance between the two meets the predetermined distance, the first sensor 136 will send a corresponding control instruction to the control terminal of the grasping device.

[0061] In this embodiment, the working principle of the sensing mechanism 130 is as follows:

[0062] When the second roller 131 is not under an external force, its height is higher than the lower surface of the bracket 110, that is, it extends a certain distance. At this time, the spring 132 is in a relaxed state. When the clamping mechanism 120 moves downward and the cloth 300 enters the clamping interval between the first clamping plate 121 and the second clamping plate 122 of the clamping mechanism 120, as the cloth 300 enters, the surface of the cloth 300 contacts the second roller 131 in the clamping interval. The roller design can reduce the friction force in contact with the cloth 300. At this time, the second roller 131 is under the external force of the cloth 300 and compresses the spring 132, and drives the connecting plate 135 connected by the connecting rod 134 to move upward. The distance between the connecting plate 135 and the first sensor 136 decreases. When the distance decreases to a predetermined range, the first sensor 136 sends a closing signal to the clamping mechanism 120, and the first clamping plate 121 and the second clamping plate 122 of the clamping mechanism 120 close to clamp the cloth 300. After the clamping mechanism 120 puts down the cloth 300, the second roller 131 and the connecting plate 135 return to their original positions under the elastic action of the spring 132.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adaptive mechanism 140 is located in the middle of the bracket 110. The adaptive mechanism 140 includes a rotating shaft 141, a base 142, a first telescopic mechanism 143 and a second telescopic mechanism 144. The first telescopic mechanism 143 and the second telescopic mechanism 144 can both be cylinders.

[0064] Among them, the base 142 is located in the middle of the bracket 110. The lower part of the base 142 is connected to the bracket 110 through the rotating shaft 141. The bracket 110 can rotate up and down around the rotating shaft 141 to form a structure similar to a seesaw. A flange is provided above the base 142, and a moving mechanism such as a manipulator can be connected through the flange. The first telescopic mechanisms 143 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the base 142. The first telescopic mechanisms 143 are installed on both sides of the base 142, and the telescopic ends of the first telescopic mechanisms 143 are hinged to the bracket 110. By changing the stroke of the first telescopic mechanisms 143 on both sides, the inclination of the bracket 110 can be changed. The second telescopic mechanism 144 is located between the base 142 and the bracket 110. The second telescopic mechanism 144 is installed below the base 142. The telescopic end of the second telescopic mechanism 144 is arranged opposite to the bracket 110. The number of the second telescopic mechanisms 144 is four and they are arranged at the four corners. When the second telescopic mechanisms 144 extend simultaneously and abut against the lower surface of the bracket 110, the bracket is in a horizontal state at this time.

[0065] In actual situations, when the cloth 300 is placed, due to reasons such as inconsistent roll diameters of the cloth 300 and improper manual operation, the cloth 300 may be inclined in the vertical direction. The adaptive mechanism 140 can automatically adapt to the inclination of the cloth 300. Such as Figure 8As shown, when the clamping mechanism 120 approaches the cloth 300, the first telescopic mechanisms 143 on both sides of the base 142 in the adaptive mechanism 140 are in a free state, and the second telescopic mechanism 144 is in a contracted state. The clamping mechanism 120 can adapt to the inclination of the cloth 300 and fit with the cloth 300. After the clamping mechanism 120 clamps the cloth 300 and lifts it into the air, the first telescopic mechanism 143 and the second telescopic mechanism 144 are simultaneously pushed out to keep the cloth 300 horizontal.

[0066] Specifically, the bottom supporting mechanism 150 includes a second power device 151, a rotating mechanism 152 and a baffle 153. The second power device 151 is connected to the bracket 110, the second power device 151 is connected to the rotating mechanism 152, and the rotating mechanism 152 is connected to the baffle 153. The second power device 151 can be a cylinder.

[0067] As Figure 9 shown, after the clamping mechanism 120 clamps the cloth 300, the baffle 153 of the bottom supporting mechanism 150 of the cloth 300 rotates to the bottom of the cloth 300 under the action of the rotating mechanism 152, and then the second power device 151 lifts the baffle 153, and the baffle 153 will support the cloth 300 to prevent the cloth 300 from accidentally falling.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vision mechanism 160 is connected to the bracket 110. The vision mechanism 160 can specifically be a camera device. The vision mechanism 160 can obtain an image of the cloth 300 vertically downward, judge the placement direction of the cloth 300, and then adjust the clamping direction of the clamping mechanism 120.

[0069] In other embodiments, a second sensor 170 and a flipping mechanism 180 are further included. The second sensor 170 is connected to the bracket 110 through the flipping mechanism 180. The second sensor 170 can specifically be a distance sensor, and the flipping mechanism 180 can specifically be a flipping cylinder. The flipping mechanism 180 can drive the second sensor 170 to flip by a certain angle, so as to obtain the coordinate data of the cloth. As Figure 10 shown, in the left figure, when the direction of the second sensor 170 is downward, the Z-axis direction coordinate of the cloth can be obtained. In the right figure, after the second sensor 170 follows the flipping device 180 and flips 90 degrees, the direction is horizontal, and the Y-axis direction coordinate of the cloth can be obtained.

[0070] As Figure 11 shown, it is an embodiment of a manipulator provided by the present invention.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 11, this embodiment includes the grasping device 100 in the above embodiment, and further includes a manipulator body 300. The manipulator body 300 is connected to the grasping device 100, specifically by flange connection. The manipulator body 300 is used to move the grasping device 100 to a specified position.

[0072] The present invention also provides an embodiment of a material taking method, which is used to realize the grasping and moving of cloth, and is implemented by the above grasping device embodiment, including the following steps:

[0073] The grasping device is moved to a first predetermined position by the manipulator body;

[0074] The vision mechanism acquires the direction of the cloth, and the grasping device adjusts the direction of the clamping mechanism according to the cloth direction;

[0075] The grasping device moves downwards to make the cloth enter the clamping mechanism;

[0076] The induction mechanism detects whether the cloth is at a second predetermined position. If so, the clamping mechanism closes and the grasping device moves upwards;

[0077] The adaptive mechanism is started to make the cloth parallel to the horizontal plane, and the bottom supporting mechanism supports the bottom of the cloth;

[0078] The grasping device moves to a third predetermined position, and the clamping mechanism opens.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the specific process of the material taking method is as Figure 12 shown, including the following steps:

[0080] S100. The manipulator body moves the grasping device to a transition point;

[0081] S200. The grasping device moves until it is directly above the cloth stacking of the vision mechanism;

[0082] S300. The data processing terminal judges the direction of the cloth according to the image acquired by the vision mechanism;

[0083] S400. The manipulator body moves the grasping device until the second sensor moves to directly above the first roll of cloth, and measures the Z-axis coordinate of the cloth roll;

[0084] S500. The manipulator body moves the grasping device until the second sensor moves to the side of the first roll of cloth. The second sensor is flipped 90 degrees through the flipping mechanism so that the second sensor is horizontally placed, and the Y-axis coordinate of the cloth roll is measured;

[0085] S600. The first roller starts to roll. The manipulator body moves the grasping device to the coordinate position of the cloth. The first roller separates the first roll of cloth, and then the clamping mechanism fits the cloth;

[0086] S700. The clamping mechanism closes to clamp the cloth. The manipulator body lifts the clamping mechanism, the cylinder of the adaptive mechanism extends, making the cloth parallel to the horizontal plane, and the bottom support mechanism supports the bottom of the cloth.

[0087] S800. The manipulator body moves the grasping device to the designated feeding port.

[0088] S900. The clamping mechanism opens, the cloth is placed at the designated feeding port, and return to step S100 to repeat the above steps.

[0089] In summary, in the embodiments provided by the present invention, the cloth is grasped by the clamping mechanism, the direction of the cloth is judged by the vision mechanism, and then the grasping direction of the clamping mechanism is adjusted. The position of the cloth in the clamping mechanism is judged by the sensing mechanism to achieve accurate grasping, and the flexibility of the grasping device can be increased by the adaptive mechanism. The embodiments provided by the present invention have the advantages of accurate grasping, good stability and high automation degree.
