DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This embodiment provides the following Figure 1 The shown embodiment shows a material taking and unloading fixture for the large handle on the right side of an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes a rotating component 1, and a removal fixture component 2 and an adjustment fixture component 3 are connected to the bottom of the rotating component 1, and the adjustment fixture component 3 is arranged on one side of the removal fixture component 2; the removal fixture component 2 includes a pushing cylinder 21 and a removal fixture 22, and the pushing cylinder 21 is connected to the removal fixture 22; the adjustment fixture component 3 includes an adjusting rotary cylinder 31 and an adjusting fixture 32, and the adjusting rotary cylinder 31 is connected to the adjusting fixture 32.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rotating component 1 is used to rotate the lower removal clamp component 2 and the adjustment clamp component 3 in the horizontal direction, and adjust the posture of the large handle by rotating to the desired angle; the removal adjustment component is used to clamp the large handle, and the removal clamp 22 is pushed by the pushing cylinder 21 to clamp the large handle and remove the large handle from the material frame; the adjustment clamp component 3 is arranged on one side of the removal clamp component 2, and the adjustment clamp 32 is driven by its adjustment rotating cylinder 31 to rotate in the vertical direction on one side of the removal clamp component 2, so that the large handle on the removal clamp 22 on one side can be clamped.

[0029] During the entire process, the push cylinder on the removal clamp component 2 first drives the removal clamp 22 to extend, and the removal clamp 22 clamps one end of the large handle, and the push cylinder is retracted to clamp it up. In the initial state, the adjustment clamp component 3 is in a horizontal state, that is, the removal clamp 22 and the adjustment clamp 32 are perpendicular to each other, so that the adjustment clamp 32 does not affect the clamping work of the removal clamp 22. After clamping the large handle, the adjustment rotating cylinder 31 drives the adjustment clamp 32 to rotate to one side of the removal clamp 22 to clamp the large handle. Its clamping position deviates from the center of mass of the large handle, so that the large handle automatically rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state due to its own weight distribution. Finally, the rotating component 1 controls the removal clamp component 2 and the adjustment clamp component 3 below to rotate horizontally, so that the posture of the large handle can meet the requirements of the area where it needs to be placed. After moving to the area where it needs to be placed, the adjustment clamp 32 returns to its original position and places the large handle on the docking platform.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] This embodiment provides the following Figure 1-5 The shown embodiment shows a material taking and unloading fixture for the large handle on the right side of an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes a rotating component 1, and a removal fixture component 2 and an adjustment fixture component 3 are connected to the bottom of the rotating component 1, and the adjustment fixture component 3 is arranged on one side of the removal fixture component 2; the removal fixture component 2 includes a pushing cylinder 21 and a removal fixture 22, and the pushing cylinder 21 is connected to the removal fixture 22; the adjustment fixture component 3 includes an adjusting rotary cylinder 31 and an adjusting fixture 32, and the adjusting rotary cylinder 31 is connected to the adjusting fixture 32.

[0032] In this embodiment, based on Example 1, the structure of the adjustment fixture component 3 is further optimized, and the adjustment fixture component 3 also includes an adjustment fixture mounting plate 33, a rotating cylinder mounting plate 34 and a turntable 35. The rotating cylinder mounting plate 34 is arranged below the rotating component 1, and the adjustment rotary cylinder 31 is arranged on one side of the rotating cylinder mounting plate 34, and the turntable 35 is arranged on the other side of the rotating cylinder mounting plate 34. The turntable 35 is connected to the adjustment rotary cylinder 31, and the turntable 35 is connected to one end of the adjustment fixture mounting plate 33, and the other end of the adjustment fixture mounting plate 33 is provided with the adjustment fixture 32. Specifically, the rotating cylinder mounting plate 34 is used to fix other components under the rotating component 1; the adjusting rotating cylinder 31 controls the rotation of the turntable 35, and then controls the adjusting fixture mounting plate 33 to rotate around it with the turntable 35 as the center, so as to control the adjustment fixture 32 to move to the side of the removal fixture 22 or away from the side of the removal fixture 22. The adjusting fixture mounting plate 33 can increase the arc of the rotation movement of the adjusting fixture 32, and avoid the interference of the adjusting fixture 32 on the removal fixture 22 when clamping the large handle to the greatest extent. Because if the two are too close when clamping, the large handle may hit the adjusting fixture 32, which will affect the stability of the clamping of the large handle.

[0033] The adjustment fixture 32 in this embodiment is described in further detail below. Figure 1-2 , Attachment Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment fixture 32 includes an adjustment jaw cylinder 321, a left inner support arm 322, and a right inner support arm 323. The adjustment jaw cylinder 321 is connected to the left inner support arm 322 and the right inner support arm 323, respectively. After the removal fixture 22 removes the handle, the adjustment fixture 32 moves to one side of the removal fixture 22. At this point, the adjustment fixture 32 is located at a corresponding position on one side of the handle. The adjustment jaw cylinder 321 drives the left inner support arm 322 and the right inner support arm 323 to open, so that in the open position, they clamp the handle by internally expanding. In other words, the left inner support arm 322 and the right inner support arm 323 move away from each other, each supporting the inner wall of the handle's two sides to clamp the handle. This arrangement avoids conflict with the gripping position of the removal fixture 22. When gripping the handle, the removal fixture 22 is configured to grip the outer edges of the handle, so that they do not interfere with each other.

[0034] The left inner support arm 322 and the right inner support arm 323 in this embodiment are further described in detail as shown in the attached drawings. Figure 4As shown, the left and right inner support arms 322 and 323 are each provided with a rotating shaft 324 on opposite sides of the handle. Connected to the rotating shaft 324 is an inner support rubber pad 325. The contact point between the inner support rubber pad 325 and the handle is offset from the center of mass of the handle. Therefore, when the left and right inner support arms 323 are clamped in an open position, the inner support contact point is offset from the center of mass of the handle, allowing the handle to automatically rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position due to the weight distribution of the handle itself.

[0035] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 324 is connected to the left inner support arm 322 or the right inner support arm 323 through a bearing 326 , and a bearing block 327 is provided between the rotating shaft 324 and the left inner support arm 322 or the right inner support arm 323 .

[0036] The rotating component 1 in this embodiment is described in further detail as shown in the attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the rotating component 1 includes a rotating cylinder 11, a docking flange 12, a first material picking mounting plate 13, a second material picking mounting plate 14, a cylinder mounting plate 15 and a rotating mounting plate 16; the first material picking mounting plate 13 and the second material picking mounting plate 14 are vertically connected to each other, one side of the first material picking mounting plate 13 is connected to the rotating cylinder 11 through the cylinder mounting plate 15, the bottom of the rotating cylinder 11 is connected to the docking flange 12, the bottom of the docking flange 12 is connected to the rotating mounting plate 16 through the second material picking mounting plate 14, and the removal clamp component 2 and the adjustment clamp component 3 are arranged below the rotating mounting plate 16. Among them, the rotating cylinder 11 is used to drive the docking flange 12 to rotate; the first material picking mounting plate 13 and the cylinder mounting plate 15 are used to install and fix the rotating cylinder 11; the second material picking mounting plate 14 is used to install the docking flange 12; the rotating mounting plate 16 is used to install and fix the removal clamp component 2 and the adjustment clamp component 3 below, so that the docking flange 12 can rotate by driving the rotating mounting plate 16 and then rotate the removal clamp component 2 and the adjustment clamp component 3, so that the large handle is rotated to the posture required for discharge.

[0037] Preferably, an oil-free bushing 17 is provided on the docking flange 12 .

[0038] The removal fixture component 2 in this embodiment is described in further detail in the attached drawings. Figure 1-3As shown, the removal fixture component 2 also includes a floating joint 23, a removal gripper cylinder mounting base 24, a linear guide 25, and a linear rail connecting plate 26; the floating joint 23 is arranged below the ejection cylinder 21, and the floating joint 23 is connected to the linear rail connecting plate 26, and the linear rail connecting plate 26 is connected to the removal gripper cylinder mounting base 24 via the linear guide 25, and the removal gripper cylinder mounting base 24 is connected to the rotating mounting plate 16, and one end of the linear rail connecting plate 26 is provided with the removal fixture 22. Among them, the floating joint 23 is used to flexibly connect the linear rail connecting plate 26, and the linear rail connecting plate 26 is connected to the removal gripper cylinder mounting base 24 via the linear guide 25. In actual use, the installation posture of the removal fixture 22 can be adjusted by adjusting these structures.

[0039] Further, the removal fixture 22 is described in further detail, as shown in the attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the removal clamp 22 includes a removal gripper cylinder 221, a left gripper finger 222, and a right gripper finger 223. The removal gripper cylinder 221 is disposed on the linear rail connecting plate 26, and the left gripper finger 222 and the right gripper finger 223 are disposed below the removal gripper cylinder 221. When removing the large handle, the removal gripper cylinder 221 drives the left gripper finger 222 and the right gripper finger 223 to extend downward and grip the large handle.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] This embodiment provides the following Figure 1-5 The shown embodiment shows a material taking and unloading fixture for the large handle on the right side of an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes a rotating component 1, and a removal fixture component 2 and an adjustment fixture component 3 are connected to the bottom of the rotating component 1, and the adjustment fixture component 3 is arranged on one side of the removal fixture component 2; the removal fixture component 2 includes a pushing cylinder 21 and a removal fixture 22, and the pushing cylinder 21 is connected to the removal fixture 22; the adjustment fixture component 3 includes an adjusting rotary cylinder 31 and an adjusting fixture 32, and the adjusting rotary cylinder 31 is connected to the adjusting fixture 32.

[0042] The adjustment fixture component 3 also includes an adjustment fixture mounting plate 33, a rotating cylinder mounting plate 34 and a turntable 35. The rotating cylinder mounting plate 34 is arranged below the rotating component 1, the adjustment rotary cylinder 31 is arranged on one side of the rotating cylinder mounting plate 34, and the turntable 35 is arranged on the other side of the rotating cylinder mounting plate 34. The turntable 35 is connected to the adjustment rotary cylinder 31, and the turntable 35 is connected to one end of the adjustment fixture mounting plate 33. The adjustment fixture 32 is set at the other end of the adjustment fixture mounting plate 33.

[0043] The adjustment fixture 32 includes an adjustment jaw cylinder 321, a left inner support arm 322, and a right inner support arm 323. The adjustment jaw cylinder 321 is connected to the left inner support arm 322 and the right inner support arm 323, respectively. A rotating shaft 324 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the left inner support arm 322 and the right inner support arm 323. An inner support rubber pad 325 is connected to each of the rotating shafts 324. The contact point between the inner support rubber pad 325 and the large handle is offset from the center of mass of the large handle.

[0044] In this embodiment, based on the second embodiment, in order to further ensure that the large handle does not rotate excessively when it rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state, as shown in the attached Figure 1-2 As shown, the end of the adjustment fixture mounting plate 33 on which the adjustment fixture 32 is mounted is also provided with a handle stop plate 36. The handle stop plate 36 is located above the adjustment fixture mounting plate 33, while the adjustment fixture 32 is located below it. The handle stop plate 36 is located at the rear end of the adjustment fixture mounting plate 33. When the handle is rotated to a horizontal position, one end of the handle stop plate 36 contacts the handle stop plate 36. This stops the handle from rotating, thereby limiting the handle's position and maintaining it horizontally, preventing it from over-rotating or tipping over, and improving its stability when it rotates to a horizontal position. The left and right inner support arms 322 and 323 are inclined and curved, enabling them to smoothly clamp the handle and allow it to rotate automatically.

[0045] Example 4:

[0046] This embodiment provides the following Figure 1-5 The shown embodiment shows a material taking and unloading fixture for the large handle on the right side of an air conditioner outdoor unit, which includes a rotating component 1, and a removal fixture component 2 and an adjustment fixture component 3 are connected to the bottom of the rotating component 1, and the adjustment fixture component 3 is arranged on one side of the removal fixture component 2; the removal fixture component 2 includes a pushing cylinder 21 and a removal fixture 22, and the pushing cylinder 21 is connected to the removal fixture 22; the adjustment fixture component 3 includes an adjusting rotary cylinder 31 and an adjusting fixture 32, and the adjusting rotary cylinder 31 is connected to the adjusting fixture 32.

[0047] The rotating component 1 includes a rotating cylinder 11, a docking flange 12, a first material picking mounting plate 13, a second material picking mounting plate 14, a cylinder mounting plate 15 and a rotating mounting plate 16; the first material picking mounting plate 13 and the second material picking mounting plate 14 are vertically connected to each other, one side of the first material picking mounting plate 13 is connected to the rotating cylinder 11 through the cylinder mounting plate 15, the bottom of the rotating cylinder 11 is connected to the docking flange 12, the bottom of the docking flange 12 is connected to the rotating mounting plate 16 through the second material picking mounting plate 14, and the removal clamp component 2 and the adjustment clamp component 3 are arranged below the rotating mounting plate 16.

[0048] This embodiment is based on the second embodiment. In order to further ensure the accurate positioning during rotation and achieve 90° accurate positioning, as shown in the attached Figure 1-3 As shown, a limited square block 121 is provided on the docking flange 12 , and a limited rotating seat 141 is provided on the second material taking mounting plate 14 . The limited rotating seat 141 is provided on one side of the docking flange 12 .

[0049] When the rotary cylinder 11 drives the docking flange 12 to rotate, the limiting square block 121 on the docking flange 12 contacts and fits with the limiting rotating seat 141 of the second material taking mounting plate 14, so that the docking flange 12 rotates accurately to 90°, achieving precise positioning of the rotation.

[0050] In actual use, the angle required for precise positioning can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the limiting rotating seat 141.

[0051] The motion process of the present invention:

[0052] As attached Figure 5 As shown, first, the entire clamp moves to the material removal area, and the pushing cylinder on the removal clamp component 2 drives the removal clamp 22 to extend, and the left clamping finger 222 and the right clamping finger 223 of the removal clamp 22 clamp one end of the large handle 4 in the closed position, driving the removal clamp 22 to retract and remove the large handle 4 from the material frame. When taking it out, the large handle 4 is in a vertical state; and the adjustment clamp component 3 in the initial state is in a horizontal state, that is, at this time the removal clamp 22 and the adjustment clamp 32 are perpendicular to each other, so that the adjustment clamp 32 will not affect the clamping work of the removal clamp 22.

[0053] After the handle 4 is clamped, the adjustment cylinder 31 drives the adjustment clamp 32 to rotate to one side of the removal clamp 22. The removal clamp cylinder 221 drives the left inner support clamp arm 322 and the right inner support clamp arm 323 to open, and clamp the handle 4 in the open position by internal expansion. The left inner support clamp arm 322 and the right inner support clamp arm 323 are respectively provided with an inner support rubber pad 325. The contact point of the inner support rubber pad 325 is offset from the position of the center of mass of the handle 4, so that the handle 4 automatically rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state due to the weight distribution of the body. At this time, the handle limit plate 36 installed on the other side of the left inner support clamp arm 322 and the right inner support clamp arm 323 makes the handle 4 touch the handle limit plate 36 after rotating to the horizontal state, thereby limiting the position of the handle 4.

[0054] Finally, the rotating cylinder 11 in the rotating part 1 drives the docking flange 12 to rotate, and through the contact between the limiting square block 121 and the limiting rotating seat 141, precise positioning of 90° rotation is achieved. Then the entire clamp moves to the area where it needs to be placed, the clamp 32 is adjusted to return to its position, and the clamping claw cylinder 321 is adjusted to drive the left and right inner support clamping arms 323 to retract, and the large handle 4 is placed on the docking carrier.

[0055] The present invention's primary function is to serve as a fixture for gripping and placing various workpieces requiring position adjustment, particularly for the removal and placement of large handles. By coordinating various structures, the gripping posture and position are transformed during adjustment, allowing the handle to automatically rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position by its own weight distribution. This structure effectively removes material from the right handle of an air conditioner outdoor unit, meeting loading requirements within the required cycle. The material removal and placement functions are integrated into the fixture, enabling simultaneous, one-time adjustment of the right handle's position during the fixture's movement, shortening the time required for secondary adjustments.

[0056] In summary, after reading the present invention document, ordinary technicians in this field can make various other corresponding transformation schemes based on the technical solutions and technical concepts of the present invention without creative mental work, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
