AI Technical Summary
When removing and rotating stacked handle rings, existing manipulators have many functional components, resulting in large size and heavy weight, making it difficult to complete the operation quickly and stably.
The removal device and the ring stacking device are operated separately. The removal device is only responsible for removing the handle ring, and the ring stacking device is responsible for adjusting the direction and releasing it. Functional components are reduced, stability is ensured by vacuum suction cups and clamping parts, and lifting and rotating drive devices are used to achieve fast and stable stacking.
The handle rings can be quickly and stably removed and stacked, which reduces the volume and weight of the robot and improves the speed of entering and exiting the mold and the operational stability.
