Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of rubber coating technology, and in particular to a portable rubber coating robot capable of replacing rubber tape. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the popularity of rubber-coated robots, the emergence of rubber-coated robots has significantly improved the quality of rubber-coated products and reduced labor costs, with very good results. However, the existing rubber-coated robots are basically only focused on rubber-coated work. Although they are highly efficient, when the tape roll installed on the rubber-coated robot is used up, the rubber-coated robot needs to stop and wait for manual replacement of the new tape roll before it can continue to work. This process not only wastes time, but also brings labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The winding disc includes a quick-change button, a winding disc structure frame, and a tape roll holder. A boss is formed on the end surface of the winding disc structure frame to facilitate the removal and replacement of the winding disc clamping claws. The central part of the winding disc structure frame is provided with a hollow feature with an opening to facilitate the passage of the object to be encapsulated. The winding disc structure frame is provided with a slit to facilitate the passage of the tape. There are two quick-change buttons, which are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the winding disc structure frame. The tape roll holder is fixed to the winding disc structure frame.

[0007] The quick-change button includes an inner tube, an outer tube, an outer cover, a compression spring, a steel ball and a retaining spring. The inner tube is fixedly connected to the winding disk structure frame. A steel ball groove for placing the steel ball is provided on the inner wall of the inner tube. The outer tube is sleeved on the outer side of the inner tube and is restricted by the retaining spring located at the top of the inner tube.

The outer tube is provided with a circle of outer tube annular groove along the circumferential direction, and a circle of annular platform is formed below the outer tube annular groove along the circumferential direction.

[0008] The winding disk replacement gripper includes two manipulator grippers and a drive mechanism. The two manipulator grippers are installed in an "eight" shape below the drive mechanism. The inner sides of the manipulator grippers are provided with gripper grooves that match the bosses. The drive mechanism drives the opening and closing of the two manipulator grippers to clamp or release the winding disk.

[0009] The rubber-coated robot body includes a rubber-coated robot body, a connecting support plate and a quick-change pin. The connecting support plate is fixedly connected to the rotating half-tooth of the rubber-coated robot body. There are two quick-change pins, which are fixedly connected to the connecting support plate at positions corresponding to the two quick-change buttons. The quick-change pins are inserted into the inner cylinder, and a circle of quick-change pin annular grooves are respectively opened on the two quick-change pins along the circumferential direction; through the pressing and release of the outer cover by the two robot fingers, the steel ball is squeezed into the quick-change pin annular groove by the annular table or moved into the annular groove of the outer cylinder, thereby realizing the locking and separation of the winding disk and the rubber-coated robot body.

[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the inner cylinder is larger than the diameter of the quick-change pin.

[0011] Preferably, the width of the steel ball groove of the inner cylinder is greater than the diameter of the steel ball.

[0012] The present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

The inner tube 111 is fixedly connected to the winding disk structure frame 12. A steel ball groove for placing the steel ball 115 is opened on the inner wall of the inner tube 111. The outer tube 112 is sleeved on the outside of the inner tube 111 and is restricted by the retaining spring 116 located at the top of the inner tube 111 to prevent the outer tube 112 from falling off. When the outer tube 112 and the inner tube 111 fall together, a compression spring 114 is installed in the middle gap part, and the outer cover 113 is fixedly connected to the outer tube 112, which plays a role in protecting the internal structure of the quick-change button 11; through the pressing and releasing of the outer cover 113 by the two manipulator fingers 31, the steel ball is squeezed by the annular platform 112-1 into the quick-change pin annular groove 23-1 or the movable outer tube annular groove 112-2, thereby realizing the locking and separation of the winding disk 1 and the rubber-coated manipulator body 2.

[0038] The diameter of the inner tube 111 is larger than the diameter of the quick-change pin 23 .

[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, the process of disassembling the winding disk provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0046] The two manipulator fingers 31 open outward and move downward at the same time until the two quick-change buttons 11 are pressed. At this time, the steel ball 115, the quick-change pin annular groove 23-1, and the annular groove 112-2 are at the same height, the compression spring 114 is compressed, and the steel ball 115 moves into the annular groove 112-2. The quick-change pin 23 is separated from the quick-change button 11, and the winding disk 1 is unlocked from the rubber-coated manipulator body 2. The manipulator fingers 31 clamp inward until the boss 12-1 is stuck in the finger groove 31-1 and cooperates with each other. The winding disk replacement jaws 3 drive the winding disk 1 to move upward to separate it from the rubber-coated manipulator body 2.

[0047] The process of replacing the winding disk provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0048] The two manipulator fingers 31 clamp the new winding disk 1 and move it to the top of the rubber-coated manipulator body 21, and then move downward until the quick-change pin 23 is inserted into the inner tube 111. When the new winding disk 1 is aligned and contacted with the rubber-coated manipulator body 2, the two manipulator fingers 31 are opened, the boss 12-1 is separated from the finger groove 31-1, and then the winding disk replacement clamp 3 moves upward until the manipulator fingers 31 are separated from the quick-change button 11. At this time, the steel ball 115, the quick-change pin annular groove 23-1 and the annular platform 112-1 are at the same height, and the steel ball 115 is squeezed into the quick-change pin annular groove 23-1 by the annular platform 112-1, so that the winding disk 1 is connected and locked with the rubber-coated manipulator body 2.
