Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of guide rod cleaning technology, and in particular to an industrial robot end effector mechanism for automobile brake chassis assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial robots are multi-jointed manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom machines widely used in the industrial field. They have a certain degree of automation and can achieve various industrial processing and manufacturing functions by relying on their own power and control capabilities. Industrial robots are widely used in various industrial fields such as electronics, logistics, and chemicals.

[0003] For most industrial robot end effectors mounted on automotive brake chassis, the sliding transfer of materials on the moving guide rails generally satisfies the need for ease of material transfer and processing. However, for some industrial robot end effectors moving on the guide rails, which are usually located at a high position, it is not convenient to clean dust and impurities from the guide rails. This causes the end effector to easily come into contact with and rub against the impurities and dust on the guide rails during use, resulting in environmental pollution of the workspace. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an industrial robot end effector mechanism for assembling automotive brake chassis, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an industrial robot end effector mechanism for assembling automotive brake chassis, comprising a robot guide rod; an end effector is slidably connected to the surface of the robot guide rod; a cleaning and protective ring is fixedly installed on the surface of the end effector; a cleaning guide ring is fixedly installed on the inner side of the cleaning and protective ring; a built-in storage groove is provided on the inner side of the cleaning and protective ring; an external guide rod is fixedly installed on the lower side of the cleaning and protective ring; an internal guide rod is slidably connected to the inner side of the external guide rod; a first spring is slidably connected to the inner side of the internal guide rod; the two ends of the first spring are respectively fixedly installed on the inner side of the external guide rod and the upper end of the internal guide rod; and a storage box is provided on the surface of the end effector.

[0006] Preferably, the cleaning protective ring is located on the outside of the robot guide rod, and the cleaning guide ring is in the shape of an inclined arc.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the built-in guide rod is pointed.

[0008] Preferably, the storage box is located below the built-in guide rod.

[0009] Preferably, a docking plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the storage box, and a docking slot is opened on the surface of the machine end effector, with the surface of the docking plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the docking slot.

[0010] Preferably, a fixed pin is slidably connected to the inner side of the end effector, and a second spring is slidably sleeved on the surface of the fixed pin. The two ends of the second spring are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed pin and the inner side of the end effector.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the docking plate is provided with a fixing groove, the surface of the fixing pin is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the fixing groove, and the inner thread of the machine end effector is connected to an external stud.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] (1) The end effector mechanism of the industrial robot used for automotive brake chassis assembly can guide and clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the robot guide rod by cleaning the inclined arc shape of the guide ring. The cleaned dust will fall on the inner wall of the built-in collection groove. Therefore, after the dust is collected on the inner side of the cleaning protective ring, it will be guided to the inner side of the collection box by the external guide rod and the internal guide rod. This method ensures the ease of cleaning the dust on the robot guide rod, reduces the tediousness of the traditional robot guide rod that needs to be cleaned regularly, and improves the convenience of cleaning and collecting the dust on the robot guide rod, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the working space environment.

[0014] (2) The industrial robot end effector mechanism for assembling automotive brake chassis, by retracting the built-in guide rod to the inside of the external guide rod until the storage box and the machine end effector are docked, the built-in guide rod is matched with the slot on the storage box. The built-in guide rod is pushed into the slot of the storage box by the elasticity of the compressed first spring to form a docking match, thereby ensuring the ease of dust and impurity collection docking of the storage box.

[0015] (3) The industrial robot end effector mechanism used for automotive brake chassis assembly enters the inner wall of the fixed slot through the elastic force of the compressed second spring by the fixed pin. At this time, the operator controls the external stud to rise on the inner side of the machine end effector to limit and fix the fixed pin, thereby making the storage box docked with the machine end effector through the docking plate. This method ensures the ease of dust collection in the storage box and the ease of disassembly and cleaning of dust between the storage box and the machine end effector, and ensures the convenience of docking operation between the storage box and the machine end effector.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0024] In the description of this invention, terms such as greater than, less than, and exceeding are understood to exclude the stated number, while terms such as above, below, and within are understood to include the stated number. The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: an industrial robot end effector mechanism for assembling automobile brake chassis, including a robot guide rod 1, with a machine end effector 2 slidably connected to the surface of the robot guide rod 1. The machine end effector 2 is an industrial robot mechanism for assembling automobile brake chassis, and at this time, the machine end effector 2 can perform gripping and transfer operations of automobile brake chassis assembly materials.

[0027] Furthermore, a cleaning and protective ring 3 is fixedly installed on the surface of the end effector 2. The cleaning and protective ring 3 is located on the outside of the robot guide rod 1. A cleaning guide ring 4 is fixedly installed on the inside of the cleaning and protective ring 3. The cleaning guide ring 4 is in the shape of an inclined arc. An internal storage groove 5 is opened on the inside of the cleaning and protective ring 3. An external guide rod 6 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the cleaning and protective ring 3. An internal guide rod 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the external guide rod 6. A first spring 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the internal guide rod 7. The two ends of the first spring 8 are fixedly installed on the inside of the external guide rod 6 and the upper end of the internal guide rod 7, respectively. The lower end of the internal guide rod 7 is pointed. A storage box 9 is provided on the surface of the end effector 2. The storage box 9 is located below the internal guide rod 7.

[0028] Specifically, when the end effector 2 slides on the surface of the robot guide rod 1, the cleaning guide ring 4 inside the cleaning protective ring 3 on the end effector 2 contacts and slides on the surface of the robot guide rod 1. The inclined arc shape of the cleaning guide ring 4 can guide and clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the robot guide rod 1. The cleaned dust will fall on the inner wall of the built-in collection slot 5. Therefore, after the dust is collected inside the cleaning protective ring 3, it will be guided to the inside of the collection box 9 through the external guide rod 6 and the internal guide rod 7 for collection. This method ensures the ease of cleaning the dust on the robot guide rod 1, reduces the tediousness of the traditional robot guide rod 1 requiring regular cleaning of dust and impurities, and improves the convenience of cleaning and collecting the dust on the robot guide rod 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the working space environment.

[0029] Specifically, when the storage box 9 is installed by docking with the end effector 2, the storage box 9 will squeeze the tip of the built-in guide rod 7, thereby causing the built-in guide rod 7 to be stored inside the external guide rod 6 until the storage box 9 and the end effector 2 are docked. At this time, the built-in guide rod 7 will fit into the slot on the storage box 9. The built-in guide rod 7 will be pushed into the slot of the storage box 9 by the elasticity of the compressed first spring 8 to form a docking fit, thereby ensuring the ease of dust and impurity collection docking of the storage box 9.

[0030] Furthermore, a docking plate 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the storage box 9, and a docking groove 11 is opened on the surface of the end effector 2. The surface of the docking plate 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the docking groove 11. A fixing pin 12 is slidably connected to the inner side of the end effector 2. A second spring 13 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the fixing pin 12. The two ends of the second spring 13 are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the fixing pin 12 and the inner side of the end effector 2. A fixing groove 14 is opened on the surface of the docking plate 10, and the surface of the fixing pin 12 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the fixing groove 14. An external stud 15 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the end effector 2.

[0031] Specifically, after the operator controls the docking plate 10 on the storage box 9 to dock with the docking slot 11, until the fixed pin 12 and the fixed slot 14 are docked and matched, the fixed pin 12 is pushed into the inner wall of the fixed slot 14 by the elastic force of the compressed second spring 13. At this time, the operator controls the external stud 15 to rise inside the end effector 2 of the machine to limit and fix the fixed pin 12, so that the storage box 9 is docked and fixed with the end effector 2 of the machine through the docking plate 10. This method ensures the ease of dust collection in the storage box 9 and the ease of disassembly and cleaning of dust between the storage box 9 and the end effector 2, and ensures the convenience of docking operation between the storage box 9 and the end effector 2.

[0032] Working principle: An industrial robot end effector mechanism for assembling automotive brake chassis. When the end effector 2 slides on the surface of the robot guide rod 1, the cleaning guide ring 4 inside the cleaning protective ring 3 on the end effector 2 contacts and slides on the surface of the robot guide rod 1. The inclined arc shape of the cleaning guide ring 4 can guide and clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the robot guide rod 1. The cleaned dust will fall on the inner wall of the built-in collection groove 5. Therefore, after the dust is collected inside the cleaning protective ring 3, it will be guided to the inside of the collection box 9 for collection through the external guide rod 6 and the internal guide rod 7.

[0033] After the operator controls the docking plate 10 on the storage box 9 to dock with the docking slot 11, until the fixed pin 12 and the fixed slot 14 are docked and matched, the fixed pin 12 is pushed into the inner wall of the fixed slot 14 by the elastic force of the compressed second spring 13. At this time, the operator controls the external stud 15 to rise inside the end effector 2 of the machine to limit and fix the fixed pin 12, so that the storage box 9 is docked and fixed with the end effector 2 of the machine through the docking plate 10.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
