Detailed implementation manners

[0040] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] Generally, when using a manipulator to take out the glassware 200, if the glassware 200 is stored in a container, such as after the large glassware 200 is formed in the container or the small glassware 200 for daily use is cooked in a pot, at this time, whether it is to clamp the glassware 200 with a ware edge 210 from the side or to clamp the glassware 200 without a ware edge 210 from above, the manipulator cannot achieve it. To solve the above problems, Embodiment 1 is proposed;

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , a glassware taking-out manipulator for taking out the glassware 200 from the container 100. An embedding groove 110 is formed on the container 100, and the glassware 200 is fitted in the embedding groove 110. A ware edge 210 is arranged on the glassware 200. The glassware taking-out manipulator includes a base 300;

[0044] The base 300 includes a base seat 310. A motor 320 is arranged on the base seat 310. A support seat 330 is arranged on the output shaft of the motor 320. The mounting seat 400 is connected to the support seat 330;

[0045] The base 300 is provided with a mounting seat 400, and two grasping mechanisms 500 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting seat 400;

[0046] The grasping mechanism 500 includes a lifting assembly 530 connected to the mounting seat 400. An upper fixture 510 is arranged on the lifting assembly 530, and a lower fixture assembly 520 is arranged on the upper fixture 510;

[0047] After controlling the two upper fixtures 510 to be placed in parallel on both sides of the upper end of the ware edge 210 through the two lifting assemblies 530, controlling one side of the upper fixture 510 to push the ware edge 210 to make it tilt through one side of the lifting assembly 530, and then clamping the ware edge 210 through the upper fixture 510 and the lower fixture assembly 520 on the other side to take out the glassware 200;

[0048] The lower fixture assembly 520 includes a first sliding groove 521 formed on the upper fixture 510, and a lower fixture 522 is slidably arranged in the first sliding groove 521.

[0049] In this embodiment: The base 300 can be replaced according to the specific situation of clamping the glassware 200. For example, when clamping the large glassware 200, the base 300 can be mechanically driven. Among them, the base seat 310 is installed on the ground, and the operation of the motor 320 can drive the support seat 330 and the mounting seat 400 to rotate for the handling process. The mounting seat 400 can also be installed on a handling vehicle. Or when dealing with the small glassware 200, the mounting seat 400 is changed to be handheld.

[0050] For the glassware 200 with the feature of the vessel edge 210, it can be set that the vessel edge 210 is completely located within the slot 110, or the distance between the bottom edge of the vessel edge 210 and the slot 110 is such that the fixture cannot extend in from the side. At this time, after the two upper fixtures 510 respectively contact the symmetric two sides at the upper end of the vessel edge 210, if one of the upper fixtures 510 is lowered to tilt the glassware 200 in the other direction, the lower fixture 522 on the other upper fixture 510 can slide out along the arc-shaped first chute 521 to jointly clamp one side edge of the vessel edge 210 with the upper fixture 510.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] To achieve the complete process of grasping the glassware 200 from within the slot 110, Embodiment 2 is proposed;

[0053] This embodiment is an improved explanation based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-10 , a first airbag 523 is further provided within the first chute 521, and the two ends of the first airbag 523 are respectively connected to the lower fixture 522 and the inner wall of the first chute 521;

[0054] The lifting assembly 530 includes a connecting arm 531 connected to the mounting base 400. A telescopic arm 532 is slidably arranged within the connecting arm 531. A second airbag 533 is further provided within the connecting arm 531, and the two ends of the second airbag 533 are respectively connected to the connecting arm 531 and the telescopic arm 532;

[0055] The grasping mechanism 500 further includes a connecting assembly 540, and the upper fixture 510 is connected to the telescopic arm 532 through the connecting assembly 540;

[0056] The lifting assembly 530 further includes a second chute 534 opened on the mounting base 400. The connecting arm 531 is slidably connected within the second chute 534. A spring 535 is further provided within the second chute 534, and the two ends of the spring 535 are respectively connected to the connecting arm 531 and the inner wall of the second chute 534;

[0057] The connecting assembly 540 includes two movable slots 541 symmetrically opened within the telescopic arm 532. Two sliders 542 are symmetrically arranged on the upper fixture 510, and the two sliders 542 are respectively slidably connected within the two movable slots 541. A third airbag 543 is further provided within the telescopic arm 532, and the two ends of the third airbag 543 are respectively connected to the telescopic arm 532 and the upper fixture 510;

[0058] The connecting assembly 540 further includes two limiting slots 544 symmetrically opened within the telescopic arm 532, and the two limiting slots 544 are respectively communicated with the two movable slots 541;

[0059] The gripping mechanism 500 further includes an extension assembly 550, which includes a third slide groove 551 provided on the upper fixture 510, a resisting block 552 slidably disposed in the third slide groove 551, a fourth air bag 553 is further disposed in the third slide groove 551, and two ends of the fourth air bag 553 are respectively connected to the resisting block 552 and the inner wall of the third slide groove 551;

[0060] Set the second airbag 533 on one side to a1, the third airbag 543 to b1, the first airbag 523 to c1, and the fourth airbag 553 to d1, and set the second airbag 533 on the other side to a2, the third airbag 543 to b2, the first airbag 523 to c2, and the fourth airbag 553 to d2.

[0061] In this embodiment: first, b1 and b2 are expanded to the maximum extent, so that the two upper clamps 510 can respectively drive the two sliders 542 to slide into the two limit grooves 544. The slider 542 is square and the limit groove 544 is circular, and the midpoints of the two coincide, so that the slider 542 can rotate in the limit groove 544, and the two upper clamps 510 are in a state of free rotation. C1 and c2 are both evacuated to the minimum expansion state, so that the two lower clamps 522 are stored back in the first slide groove 521. D1 is evacuated to the minimum expansion state so that the resistance block 552 on the a1 side is stored in the third slide groove 551, and D2 is inflated to the maximum expansion state so that the resistance block 552 on the a2 side extends out. The purpose is that when the vessel edge 210 is completely located inside the embedded groove 110, the upper clamp 510 cannot extend into the embedded groove 110, but the resistance block 552 can.

[0062] Then, a1 and a2 are expanded synchronously to drive the two upper clamps 510 to descend synchronously. The two upper clamps 510 move to above the edge 210 of the vessel and then stop. At this time, a1 stops inflating.

[0063] Then, a2 is allowed to continue to inflate to drive the telescopic arm 532 and the upper clamp 510 on the a2 side to descend, so that the resistance block 552 contacts the vessel edge 210 and continues to push downward, tilting the vessel edge 210 toward the a1 side, so that the vessel edge 210 contacts the upper clamp 510 on the a1 side.

[0064] Then c1 is expanded and maintained to allow the lower clamp 522 to slide out and cooperate with the upper clamp 510 to clamp the vessel edge 210 from the upper and lower sides to complete the fixation. At this time, d2 can be evacuated and contracted to allow the resistance block 552 on the a2 side to be retracted. At the same time, a2 is evacuated to allow the telescopic arm 532 on the a2 side to rise to the same height as the telescopic arm 532 on the a1 side.

[0065] Then, evacuate to the minimum through b1 and b2, so that the sliders 542 on the two upper jigs 510 slide into the movable slots 541. The movable slots 541 are rectangular slots, the width of which is equal to that of the sliders 542, and there is an arc transition between the limiting slots 544 and the movable slots 541. During the process of sliding into the movable slots 541, the two sliders 542 will drive the two upper jigs 510 to rotate to the horizontal state, so as to rotate the vessel edge 210 to the horizontal so that the vessel edge 210 also contacts the upper jig 510 on the a2 side.

[0066] At this time, it is possible to inflate and maintain through c2 so that the lower jig 522 on the a2 side also slides out to cooperate with the upper jig 510 to clamp the other side of the vessel edge 210.

[0067] Finally, evacuate a1 and a2 synchronously, so that the two telescopic arms 532 rise synchronously, which can drive the glass vessel 200 to rise smoothly to complete the taking-out process. For subsequent handling, the motor 320 can drive the mounting seat 400 and the glass vessel 200 as a whole to rotate to the handling point, and then lower the vessel edge 210 through inflation of a1 and a2, and evacuate c1 and c2 to loosen the vessel edge 210.

[0068] During the process of taking out the vessel edge 210, the two connecting arms 531 are respectively slidably mounted in the two second sliding slots 534, can be adjusted along with the movement of the vessel edge 210, and are elastically reset by the two springs 535.

[0069] Embodiment 3

[0070] To control the evacuation, inflation, deflation and maintaining the inflated state of several air bags, Embodiment 3 is proposed;

[0071] This embodiment is an improved description based on Embodiment 2. Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-7 , a driving mechanism 600 is further provided on the mounting seat 400. The driving mechanism 600 includes a gas circuit system 610 provided on the mounting seat 400. The gas circuit system 610 is respectively connected to the first air bag 523, the second air bag 533, the third air bag 543 and the fourth air bag 553 through several first air pipes 620;

[0072] An air pump 630 is provided on the mounting seat 400. The air pump 630 is connected to the gas circuit system 610 through a second air pipe 640.

[0073] In this embodiment: The gas path system 610 can be a precision gas path system such as a gas path block controlled by an electronic device. By connecting one of the airbags to the second air tube 640 through the gas path system 610, the air pump 630 can pump air into or out of the airbag, and control the rate of air pumping or inflation. When one of the airbags is blocked, its inflated state can be maintained, or a sensor for the degree of airbag inflation can be provided to fill the airbag with gas to maintain its inflated state when the internal gas of the airbag is compressed due to external force extrusion. The first air tube 620 is a flexible tube that can be stretched and folded.

[0074] Embodiment 4

[0075] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-10 , a method for removing a glassware by a removal manipulator, including the following steps:

[0076] S1. After controlling the two upper clamps 510 to align with both upper sides of the edge of the ware 210 by the motor 320, control b1 and b2 to inflate to the maximum inflated state and maintain it, control c1 and c2 to deflate to the minimum inflated state and maintain it, control d1 to deflate to the minimum inflated state and maintain it, control d2 to inflate to the maximum inflated state and maintain it through the driving mechanism 600. Then, control a1 and a2 to start inflating and expanding synchronously through the driving mechanism 600. After the two upper clamps 510 reach the upper side of the edge of the ware 210, stop inflating a1, and continue to inflate and expand a2 so that the contact block 552 on the upper clamp 510 on the a2 side contacts the edge of the ware 210 and pushes the edge of the ware 210 downward, so that the edge of the ware 210 contacts the upper clamp 510 on the a1 side obliquely;

[0077] S2. Control c1 to inflate and expand to the maximum state and maintain it through the driving mechanism 600, so that the lower clamp 522 on the a1 side clamps one end of the edge of the ware 210, and control d2 to deflate to the minimum inflated state and maintain it, so that the contact block 552 on the a2 side is retracted into the upper clamp 510 on the a2 side;

[0078] S3. Control a2 to deflate to the same inflated state as a1 through the driving mechanism 600, so that the two upper clamps 510 are at the same height. Then, control b1 and b2 to deflate to the minimum inflated state and maintain it, so that the two upper clamps 510 rotate to the horizontal state and lift, so that the edge of the ware 210 rotates to the horizontal state and contacts the upper clamp 510 on the a2 side. Then, control c2 to inflate and expand to the maximum state and maintain it to clamp the other end of the edge of the ware 210;

[0079] S4. Control a1 and a2 to deflate synchronously through the driving mechanism 600, so that the two upper clamps 510 rise synchronously to take out the glassware 200.

[0080] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
