Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of manipulators, and in particular to a clamping mechanism for naked parts. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the development of the times, in industrial production, due to high labor costs and low efficiency, production needs cannot be met. Therefore, robots occupy an irreplaceable position in industrial production. In the design of robots, the end gripper is an indispensable device. Due to different working conditions, the structure of the gripper is also different, and it is even subdivided into a special field of manipulators. In view of the assembly and maintenance problems of high-density electronic equipment due to small installation space, dense equipment, and limited operating space, most of the research on manipulators on the market today is aimed at realizing intelligent grasping and putting back, and there are few studies on the assembly of screw-mounted parts. There are also grippers for the purpose of rotation, but the grasping and rotating manipulators are mostly axially fed, which may cause interference when targeting screw-mounted parts. In addition, some manipulators are large in size and are not suitable for working in a small space. Moreover, this type of manipulator is large in size. If it is made smaller directly, the processing technology requirements will be higher and the investment cost will be higher.

[0003] Moreover, the traditional manipulator adopts the axial feeding mode and needs to rotate continuously during the rotation process, so there is a disadvantage: there can be no other interference in the axial direction of the screw-mounted parts. As disclosed in publication number CN111215882A, a bolt disassembly and installation tool capable of remote operation is characterized in that it comprises a fixed component (1), a rotating component (2), a translation component (3), a lifting component (4) and a sleeve component (5), wherein the fixed component (1) and the translation component (3) are respectively installed on both sides of the rotating component (2), and the fixed component (1), the rotating component (2) and the translation component (3) are sequentially distributed, the translation component (3) is slidably connected to the rotating component (2) and moves horizontally on the rotating component (2), the lifting component (4) is slidably connected to the end of the translation component (3) and moves vertically in a direction parallel to the central axis of the translation component (3), the sleeve component (5) is connected to the lifting component (4) via an electric impact wrench (6), the fixed component (1) is used for being in fixed contact with the operated equipment, and the sleeve component (5) acts on the bolt to realize the disassembly and installation of the bolt. If there is a wire at the end of the screw-mounted part, the ordinary manipulator may cause the wire to be entangled with the manipulator during the rotation process, causing damage to the part or the manipulator, so a radial feed manipulator is needed to overcome this shortcoming. However, if the radial feed manipulator is to rotate, it will inevitably occupy a larger space around it to accommodate the manipulator's rotation process, which runs counter to our purpose. Therefore, a mechanical gripper that can feed radially and is small in size is urgently needed.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be regarded as an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art known to a person skilled in the art.

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] Embodiment 1:

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism for disassembling and assembling screw-mounted parts includes a frame assembly 1, a swing frame assembly 2, a driving member 3, a clamping jaw assembly 4, a cam 5, and a rotating assembly 6;

[0056] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the frame assembly 1 includes a first main frame 11 and a second main frame 12. The bottom of the first main frame 11 extends to the side to form an L-shaped structure. The first main frame 11 and the second main frame 12 are connected together by bolts at the bottom. The vertical cross-section of the connected frame assembly 1 is U-shaped, so that the upper parts of the first main frame 11 and the second main frame 12 are spaced apart. The top of the first main frame 11 extends to the side to form an arc-shaped slide rail 111, and the bottom of the swing frame assembly 2 forms a sliding connection with the arc-shaped slide rail 111; Figure 3 As shown, an arc-shaped slide groove 121 is provided at the top of the second main frame 12 near the side of the first main frame 11, and the bottom of the swing frame assembly 2 is also slidably connected to the arc-shaped slide groove 121; in addition, the top of the second main frame 12 is connected to an arc-shaped mounting plate 122, which is a section of the arc-shaped top surface of the second main frame 12 extending toward the center of the circle, and the arc-shaped mounting plate 122 is used to install the arc-shaped rack 62.

[0057] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the swing frame assembly 2 includes a first swing frame 21, a second swing frame 22, a second return spring 23, and a first hanging rod 24. The bottom of the first swing frame 21 is provided with a U-shaped slide groove, so that the bottom of the first swing frame 21 can be slidably connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 111 at the top of the first main frame 11, and the bottom of the second swing frame 22 has an arc-shaped plate extending to the side, so that the bottom of the second swing frame 22 can be slidably connected to the arc-shaped slide groove 121 at the top of the second main frame 12; the first swing frame 21 is fixedly connected to the driving member 3 by a plurality of bolts, and the second swing frame 22 is arranged at an interval with the first swing frame 21. A first hanging rod 24 is connected to the bottom side of the first swing frame 21, and the top of the second return spring 23 is connected to the first hanging rod 24. A second hanging rod 112 is connected to the bottom side of the first main frame 11, and the bottom of the second return spring 23 is connected to the second hanging rod 112. The function of the second return spring 23 is to pull the rotated swing frame assembly 2 back to the initial state. Two ends of the pin shaft 43 at the hinge point of the clamping jaw assembly 4 are respectively connected to the top end of the first swing frame 21 and the top end of the second swing frame 22 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 is a stepping motor, which can rotate along with the rotation of the swing frame assembly 2 , and provides power output for the cam 5 and the rotating assembly 6 .

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the clamping jaw assembly 4 includes a first clamping jaw 41, a second clamping jaw 42, a pin 43, and a first reset spring 44. The first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 are in a W-shaped structure or a 3-shaped structure. After the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 are connected, they are in an "8"-shaped structure with the upper and lower ends open. The middle part of the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 is hinged, with the hinge point as the boundary. The upper end of the hinge point is the clamping end, and the lower end of the hinge point is the application end. The clamping end is used to clamp the nut, and the application end is used to apply the clamping force. The hinge point of the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 is connected to the swing frame assembly 2 through the pin 43. The two ends of the first reset spring 44 are respectively connected to the application ends of the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42, and are used to reset the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 when the nut is no longer clamped.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, the structures of the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 are basically the same, but in order to ensure that the clamping ends of the two can clamp the nut, the width of the second clamping jaw 42 is greater than that of the first clamping jaw 41. This embodiment is described by taking the composition of the first clamping jaw 41 as an example. The first clamping jaw 41 includes a clamping jaw body 411 and a claw finger 412. The clamping end of the clamping jaw body 411 includes an adjustment groove. The claw finger 412 includes an adjustment block and a locking bolt hole. The adjustment block is slidably connected to the adjustment groove, and the locking bolt hole passes through the adjustment block. The claw finger 412 is slidably connected to the adjustment groove through the adjustment block, and the clamping radius between the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 can be adjusted. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the adjustment block can be fixed by the locking bolt. Through the adjustment of the claw finger 412, nuts with different outer diameters can be adapted, and the use is more flexible.

[0061] As shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), the cam 5 is a symmetrical structure, wherein the far repose angle δ1 corresponds to a clamped state, and the near repose angle δ0 corresponds to a relaxed state. The position indicated by the arrow in Figure 7(a) is position O. As shown in Figure 7(b), during the rotation process, the jaw assembly 4 cooperates with the jaw assembly 4 to enable the jaw assembly 4 to achieve clamping and relaxing actions, and clamping and relaxing are performed twice each during the 360-degree rotation.

[0062] like Figure 2As shown, the rotating assembly 6 includes an incomplete gear 61 and an arcuate rack 62. The incomplete gear 61 is a symmetrical structure. The incomplete gear 61 and the arcuate rack 62 form an engaged and non-engaged state, wherein the engaged state corresponds to the clamping state of the clamping jaw assembly 4. The arcuate rack 62 is connected to the frame assembly 1. As the incomplete gear 61 rotates, a rotational torque is given to the swing frame assembly 2 to realize the swinging action. The second reset spring 23 is connected to the swing frame assembly 2 and the frame assembly 1 to realize the return action.

[0063] In this embodiment, the module of the arc-shaped rack 62 is 0.5-1.0, preferably 0.7; the number of teeth ranges from 15-22, preferably 18, and the pitch circle diameter is 98 mm.

[0064] This embodiment achieves clamping, swinging, etc. through the meshing of the incomplete gear 61 and the arc-shaped rack 62 through a purely mechanical structure, thereby improving the stability of the clamping mechanism. The driving member 3 can be a stepper motor. Within the fixed speed range of the stepper motor, the failure rate of the clamp is low, and no complicated control system is required. It only needs to control the speed of the stepper motor.

[0065] In this embodiment, the mechanical principle diagram is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, there are 4 spatial degrees of freedom, 4 low pairs, 2 high pairs, and the disc cam has no relative motion with the incomplete gear 61, so 1 degree of freedom needs to be subtracted. Therefore:

[0066] F=6n-5P l -P h -1, that is: F-6*4-5*4-2-1=1.

[0067] The clamping mechanism in this embodiment adopts a stepping motor, the number of prime movers is equal to the number of degrees of freedom of the mechanism, and the electric clamp has a definite movement.

[0068] The motion process of this embodiment:

[0069] Clamping rotation: As shown in FIG9(a), the driving member 3 is actuated, and the cam 5 is located within the far repose angle and enters the clamping state. This embodiment takes clockwise rotation as an example and is described with reference to point A1, that is, the two ends (end A1 and end A2) of the cam 5 with longer dimensions abut against the application ends of the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42, so that the clamping ends of the first clamping jaw 41 and the second clamping jaw 42 are clamped; at this time, as shown in FIG9(b), the action of the driving member 3 will simultaneously drive the incomplete gear 61 to rotate, and the toothed portion (point B1) of the incomplete gear 61 begins to mesh with the arc-shaped rack 62, thereby driving the swing frame assembly 2, the clamping jaw assembly 4, and the cam 5 to rotate rightward around the center of the arc-shaped rack 62, and the second return spring 23 is stretched;

[0070] After rotating for a certain distance, as shown in FIG9(c), the cam 5 is about to leave the far repose angle and enter the near repose angle, and the A1 end has abutted against the outermost edge of the second clamp 42, that is, the two longer ends of the cam 5 abut against the application ends of the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42, and the clamping is about to end; as shown in FIG9(d), at this time, the toothed part of the corresponding incomplete gear 61 is about to end the meshing with the internal rack and is about to enter the toothless part.

[0071] Loosen and return: as shown in FIG10( a), the cam 5 is located within the near-rest angle and enters a loosened state, that is, the two longer ends (A1 end and A2 end) of the cam 5 no longer abut against the application ends of the first jaw 41 and the second jaw 42. Under the action of the first return spring 44, the clamping ends of the first jaw 41 and the second jaw 42 are loosened; at this time, as shown in FIG10( b), the driving member 3 is actuated and drives the incomplete gear 61 to rotate, but the toothed portion of the incomplete gear 61 is no longer engaged with the arc-shaped rack 62, and the second return spring 23 contracts to rotate the swing frame assembly 2, the jaw assembly 4, and the cam 5 counterclockwise and will be pulled back.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 11( a ), the driving member 3 continues to rotate, and the cam 5 enters the far repose angle again, entering the clamping state; at this time, the end A1 abuts against the lowest point of the first clamping jaw 41; as shown in FIG. 11( b ), at this time, the toothed portion (at B2) on the other side of the incomplete gear 61 begins to mesh with the arc-shaped rack 62, and then drives the swing frame assembly 2, the clamping jaw assembly 4, and the cam 5 to rotate rightward around the center of the arc-shaped rack 62, and the second return spring 23 is stretched again;

[0073] After rotating for a certain distance, the cam 5 is close to the rest angle and enters a loosened state. The toothed portion of the incomplete gear 61 is no longer engaged with the arc-shaped rack 62, and the second return spring 23 contracts to pull back the swing frame assembly 2, the clamping jaw assembly, and the cam 5; at this point, a 360° rotation is completed.

[0074] During one rotation of the cam 5, two clamping and two loosening are achieved.

[0075] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 is used to realize the simultaneous rotation of the cam 5 and the incomplete gear 61. The rotation of the cam 5 can realize the intermittent loosening and clamping of the jaw assembly 4. The incomplete gear 61 periodically meshes with the arc-shaped rack 62 through the gear part and the gearless part to realize the rotation and return of the swing frame. When the jaw assembly 4 is clamped, the incomplete gear 61 drives the driving member 3, the jaw assembly 4, the cam 5, and the swing frame assembly 2 to rotate together. When the jaw assembly 4 is relaxed, the incomplete gear 61 returns to the center.

[0076] When installing the nut in this embodiment, the nut is inserted from the side, and the driving member 3 moves forward to cause the cam 5 to rotate until it abuts against the clamping jaw assembly 4 to put it in a clamping state. Then the incomplete gear 61 rotates clockwise and stops rotating after a certain angle. At this time, the cam 5 does not abut against the clamping jaw assembly 4, the clamping jaw assembly 4 is reset, and the swing frame assembly 2 is reset; the driving member 3 continues to rotate, and the above action is repeated; when removing the nut, the driving member 3 can move in the opposite direction.

[0077] In this embodiment, the toothed portion of the incomplete gear 61 corresponds to the far repose angle of the cam 5, and the toothless portion of the incomplete gear 61 corresponds to the near repose angle of the cam 5. The cooperation between the incomplete gear 61 and the cam 5 achieves the functions of clamping, screwing, loosening, returning to the original position and continuing to clamp and screw. In this way, the principle of tightening a nut from the side by hand is imitated. After screwing for a period of time, it returns to the original position and continues to screw until the nut is removed or installed. This creatively solves the problem that the robot cannot automatically disassemble and assemble in a small space, and the clamping force remains unchanged, and the workpiece will not be damaged. In this embodiment, clamping and swinging are achieved with only one driving member 3, which greatly saves space and simplifies the structure. It can also reset after rotating a certain angle. Even if it is entangled with the wire, it can loosen the wire automatically without affecting other parts.

[0078] During use of this embodiment, only part of the clamping jaw assembly is inserted, and the swing amplitude can be determined by the number of teeth, so a small amplitude of twisting can be achieved. The small size is particularly suitable for use in narrow spaces.

[0079] Embodiment 2:

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the clamping mechanism for disassembling and assembling screw-mounted parts further includes a base assembly 7, the base assembly 7 includes a base body 71, a guide rod 72, and a third return spring 73. The base body 71 is a U-shaped frame, and the bottom of the frame assembly 1 passes through at least two guide rods 72, and the two ends of the guide rod 72 are connected to the two sides of the base body 71. The third return spring 73 is sleeved on the guide rod 72 and the two ends are respectively abutted against the base body 71 and the frame assembly 1.

[0081] The third return spring 73 is mainly used to balance the axial displacement and return to the original position during the process of tightening or loosening the nut.

[0082] The base assembly 7 can be connected to other structures such as a robot to achieve automated assembly and disassembly.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 12( a ) and FIG. 12( b ), this embodiment is particularly suitable for operation in a box with a narrow space. The clamping jaw assembly 4 only needs to be inserted into the box to simulate the human hand screwing from the side, and it is not easy to interfere with the wire.
