[0030] Example 1

[0031] The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent manipulator, such as Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, it includes: a base 1 and a mechanical claw 2, a moving base 3 is arranged below the base 1, the moving base 3 is connected to the base 1 through an electric lifting mechanism 4, a plurality of first hinge seats 5 are arranged on the periphery of the moving base 3, one end of the mechanical claw 2 is hingedly connected to the first hinge seat 5, a plurality of second hinge seats 6 are arranged on the periphery of the base 1, a connecting rod 7 is arranged between the mechanical claw 2 and the base 1, one end of the connecting rod 7 is hingedly connected to the second hinge seat 6, and the other end of the connecting rod 7 is hingedly connected to the bending part of the mechanical claw 2, an air pipe 8 is arranged on the side of the moving base 3 away from the base 1, and a vacuum suction cup 9 is arranged on the end of the air pipe 8 away from the moving base 3.

[0032] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when using a manipulator to transport parts, first adsorb the vacuum suction cup 9 on the upper surface of the part, and then start the electric lifting mechanism 4. The electric lifting mechanism 4 can use an electric telescopic rod. The electric lifting mechanism 4 can drive the moving seat 3 to move in the direction of the base 1, and the moving seat 3 drives the mechanical claw 2 to rotate. The mechanical claw 2 clamps the outside of the part away from the end of the moving seat 3, and generates negative pressure through the vacuum suction cup 9, which is tightly attached to the clamped part, so that fast clamping can be achieved, and the parts are doubly fixed under the clamping of multiple mechanical claws 2, which improves the stability of the clamped parts and avoids the clamped parts from shifting or falling during the transportation process, so as to achieve the effect of stable transportation, improve safety, and ensure the quality of the parts; whether it is a cylindrical or irregularly shaped part, as long as the center of the upper surface of the part is a plane, it can be adsorbed and adhered to by the vacuum suction cup 9, thereby improving the adaptability of the manipulator.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, Figure 1 As shown, at least four first articulated seats 5 are provided, the mechanical claws 2 correspond to the first articulated seats 5 one by one, and the first articulated seats 5 are distributed in a circular array about the center of the moving seat 3 .

[0035] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: at least four mechanical claws 2 are provided, and the four mechanical claws 2 can provide four contact points, thereby grasping parts more stably, reducing shaking and errors during the grasping process, and improving the grasping accuracy and stability.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] On the basis of Example 1 or 2, Figure 1 As shown, a hook 10 bent inwardly is provided at one end of the mechanical claw 2 away from the moving base 3 .

[0038] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the lower surface of the part can be supported by the hook 10 to prevent the part from slipping between the mechanical claws 2, thereby further improving the stability during the part handling process.

[0039] Example 4

[0040] On the basis of any one of Examples 1-3, Figure 1 As shown, a slot 11 is provided on the side of the mechanical claw 2 close to the air pipe 8 .

[0041] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: a card slot 11 is provided on the inner side of the mechanical claw 2. When the manipulator is used to grasp parts such as gaskets and retaining rings, the edge of the gasket or retaining ring can be stuck in the card slot 11 of the mechanical claw 2 to prevent the parts from falling off, thereby enabling the same manipulator to complete the clamping of different types of automotive parts, thereby improving the applicability of the manipulator.

[0042] Example 5

[0043] On the basis of the fourth embodiment, a pressure sensor is arranged in the card slot 11 , and a controller is arranged on the base 1 . The controller is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the electric lifting mechanism 4 , respectively.

[0044] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the mechanical claw 2 is clamped on the outside of the part, the edge of the part is in the slot 11, and the pressure sensor in the slot 11 can detect the actual pressure of the mechanical claw 2 on the outside of the part. When the actual pressure on the outside of the part reaches the preset pressure range, the controller can control the electric lifting mechanism 4 to stop working, so as to prevent the mechanical claw 2 from clamping the part and ensure the quality of the part. The electric lifting mechanism 4 can stop working automatically and keep the pressure of the mechanical claw 2 on the outside of the part within the preset pressure range, thereby improving the intelligence and automation of the manipulator.

[0045] Example 6

[0046] On the basis of any one of Examples 1-5, Figure 2 As shown, the side walls of the upper end of the air pipe 8 are respectively connected to an exhaust hose 12 and an intake hose 13, a first valve is provided on the exhaust hose 12, and the end of the exhaust hose 12 away from the air pipe 8 is connected to the vacuum pump, a second valve is provided on the intake hose 13, and the end of the intake hose 13 away from the air pipe 8 is connected to the air pump.

[0047] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the vacuum suction cup 9 is adsorbed on the surface of the part, the second valve is closed, and the first valve and the vacuum pump are opened. The vacuum pump can extract the air in the vacuum suction cup 9 through the air pipe 8, and negative pressure is generated in the vacuum suction cup 9, so that the vacuum suction cup 9 is tightly attached to the surface of the part, thereby enhancing the adsorption force of the vacuum suction cup 9 and preventing the part from falling during transportation. When the part is transported to the specified position, the electric lifting mechanism 4 is first controlled to extend so that the mechanical claw 2 is separated from the outside of the part, and then the first valve is closed, and the second valve and the air pump are opened. The air pump can transport external air to the vacuum suction cup 9 through the air pipe 8, so that the vacuum suction cup 9 is separated from the surface of the part. When the mechanical claw 2 is released, the vacuum suction cup 9 is still close to the part, thereby avoiding accidental contact with the part when the mechanical claw 2 is released, thereby changing the position of the part, thereby improving the accuracy of the part transportation position.

[0048] Example 7

[0049] On the basis of Example 6, Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, a connecting pipe 14 is arranged in the trachea 8, an inner thread is arranged on the inner wall of the trachea 8, an outer thread is arranged on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 14, the outer wall of the connecting pipe 14 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the trachea 8, a straight groove 15 is arranged on the bottom wall of the connecting pipe 14, an annular protrusion is arranged on the inner wall of the bottom of the connecting pipe 14, a connecting pipe 16 is slidably arranged above the annular protrusion, a mounting hole 17 is arranged on the side wall of the lower end of the connecting pipe 16, an elastic rope 18 is arranged in the mounting hole 17, one end of the elastic rope 18 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 17, and the other end of the elastic rope 18 is connected to the upper surface of the annular protrusion, a partition 19 is arranged in the connecting pipe 16, and the partition 19 divides the connecting pipe 16 from top to bottom into a first cavity 20 and a second cavity 21, and a plurality of filter holes 22 are arranged near the side wall of the lower end of the connecting pipe 16, the filter holes 22 penetrate the side wall of the connecting pipe 16, and one end of the filter holes 22 is connected to the inside of the second cavity 21.

[0050] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the connecting pipe 14 is connected to the internal thread of the air pipe 8 through the external thread, a connecting pipe 16 is arranged in the connecting pipe 14, and a partition 19 is arranged in the connecting pipe 16. When the vacuum pump is working, the vacuum pump extracts the gas in the air pipe 8, which can make the connecting pipe 16 slide on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 14 away from the vacuum suction cup 9, and the elastic rope 18 is stretched. When the filter hole 22 moves to the outside of the connecting pipe 14, the filter hole 22 is connected with the inside of the air pipe 8, and the gas in the vacuum suction cup 9 can enter the connecting pipe 16 through the connecting pipe 14, and then flow into the air pipe 8 after being filtered through the filter hole 22, and be extracted to the outside by the vacuum pump. Since there may be impurities on the surface of the parts, When the vacuum pump is used to extract air, impurities will be sucked into the air pipe 8. Large impurities will block the air pipe 8 and even damage the vacuum pump. Therefore, a plurality of filter holes 22 are provided on the side wall of the connecting pipe 16. The filter holes 22 can intercept impurities in the connecting pipe 16 to prevent the vacuum pump from absorbing more impurities and being damaged, thereby extending the service life of the vacuum pump; a straight groove 15 is provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe 14. When removing the connecting pipe 14, only a straight screwdriver needs to be aligned with the straight groove 15 at the lower end of the connecting pipe 14 to drive the connecting pipe 14 to rotate, thereby taking the connecting pipe 14 out of the air pipe 8 for maintenance of the connecting pipe 14. There is no need to remove the entire air pipe 8, which provides convenience for maintenance.

[0051] Example 8

[0052] On the basis of Example 7, Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, a moving plate 23 is slidably arranged in the first cavity 20, a sliding column 24 is arranged on the lower surface of the moving plate 23, the sliding column 24 and the moving plate 23 are integrally formed, the lower end of the sliding column 24 passes through the partition 19 and extends into the second cavity 21, a first elastic member 25 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding column 24, the lower end of the first elastic member 25 is connected to the bottom wall of the first cavity 20, the upper end of the first elastic member 25 is connected to the contact plate 26, the contact plate 26 is arranged on the outside of the sliding column 24, a first air hole 27 is arranged near the upper end of the sliding column 24, and the upper end of the first air hole 27 passes through the first air hole 27. The first connecting hole 28 is arranged at the lower end of the first air hole 27, and the first connecting hole 28 is located between the second cavity 21 and the first cavity 20. A cleaning plate 29 is arranged in the second cavity 21, and the center of the cleaning plate 29 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 24, and the outer periphery of the cleaning plate 29 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second cavity 21. A second elastic member 30 is arranged in the second cavity 21, and one end of the second elastic member 30 is connected to the upper surface of the cleaning plate 29, and the other end of the second elastic member 30 is connected to the top wall of the second cavity 21.

[0053] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the vacuum pump is working, as the gas in the air pipe 8 is extracted, the movable plate 23 slides in the first cavity 20 in the direction away from the vacuum suction cup 9, and the movable plate 23 drives the sliding column 24 and the contact plate 26 to slide in the direction away from the vacuum suction cup 9, and the first elastic member 25 is stretched. At the same time, the sliding column 24 drives the connecting pipe 16 to slide in the direction away from the vacuum suction cup 9 through the first elastic member 25, so that the filter hole 22 is connected with the inside of the air pipe 8, so that the air in the vacuum suction cup 9 is filtered and extracted to the outside. When the manipulator moves the part to the specified position, the air pump works alone. As the air pump is started, the air entering the air pipe 8 can push the movable plate 23 and the sliding column 24 to slide in the direction close to the vacuum suction cup 9, and the sliding column 24 is on the partition 19 slides downward, the first connecting hole 28 is gradually connected with the inside of the second cavity 21, the air entering the air pipe 8 can flow into the first connecting hole 28 through the first air hole 27, and flow into the second cavity 21 through the first connecting hole 28, the air entering the second cavity 21 can push the cleaning plate 29 to slide towards the direction close to the vacuum suction cup 9, and the cleaning plate 29 can clean the inner wall of the second cavity 21 when sliding along the inner wall of the second cavity 21, and scrape off the impurities intercepted by the filter hole 22, and the scraped impurities can fall through the lower end of the connecting pipe 16, and the cleaning plate 29 can realize automatic cleaning of the inner wall of the second cavity 21, avoid clogging of the filter hole 22, and ensure the efficiency of the vacuum pump when evacuating, and the cleaning process does not require manual participation, thereby improving the degree of automation and reducing labor intensity.

[0054] Example 9

[0055] On the basis of Example 8, Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, a second air hole 31 is disposed at the lower end of the sliding column 24 , the lower end of the second air hole 31 is connected to the interior of the second cavity 21 , second connecting holes 32 are disposed on both sides of the second air hole 31 , and one end of the second connecting hole 32 is connected to the interior of the second cavity 21 .

[0056] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: as the cleaning plate 29 slides downward, when the cleaning plate 29 slides below the second connecting hole 32, the second connecting hole 32 is connected to the inside of the second cavity 21 above the cleaning plate 29, and air flows into the second connecting hole 32 through the second cavity 21 above the cleaning plate 29, and flows into the second air hole 31 through the second connecting hole 32, and finally is ejected from the second air hole 31. The ejected air can accelerate the falling of impurities and can provide air for the inside of the vacuum suction cup 9, so that the vacuum suction cup 9 is automatically separated from the surface of the part, further improving the degree of automation of the manipulator, and the air blown out through the second air hole 31 can also blow away impurities that fall on the surface of the part, thereby improving the cleanliness of the surface of the part.

[0057] Example 10

[0058] On the basis of Example 9, Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, a driving plate 33 is arranged outside the sliding column 24, and the center of the driving plate 33 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 24, and connecting rods 34 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the driving plate 33, one end of the connecting rod 34 is hingedly connected to the outer wall of the driving plate 33, and the other end of the connecting rod 34 is hingedly connected to one end of the driving rod 35, and the driving rod 35 extends away from one end of the connecting rod 34 into a sliding cavity 36, and the sliding cavity 36 is arranged on the outer wall of the connecting tube 14, and a pressure block 37 is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity 36, and an inward inclined surface is arranged on one end of the pressure block 37 away from the driving rod 35, and a third elastic member 38 is arranged on the outer wall of the driving rod 35, and one end of the third elastic member 38 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity 36, and the other end of the third elastic member 38 is connected to the side wall of the pressure block 37.

[0059] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the manipulator is not in use, the vacuum pump and the air pump do not start working. At this time, the pressing block 37 contacts the outer wall of the connecting pipe 14, and the connecting pipe 16 cannot slide in the connecting pipe 14, thereby improving the reliability of the connecting pipe 16. The connecting pipe 16 can play a dust-proof role for the air pipe 8, and all dust enters the second cavity 21 and cannot flow into the air pipe 8, thereby preventing external dust from entering the vacuum pump or the air pump, and extending the service life of the vacuum pump and the air pump; when the vacuum pump is working, the moving plate 23 drives the contact plate 26 to move through the sliding column 24. When the contact plate 26 and the driving plate 33 When the lower surface contacts, the contact plate 26 drives the driving plate 33 to move upward, and the driving plate 33 drives the driving rod 35 to slide into the first cavity 20 through the connecting rod 34, and the driving rod 35 drives the pressing block 37 to separate from the inner wall of the connecting tube 14. At this time, the connecting tube 14 can slide upward, so that the filter hole 22 is connected to the inside of the air pipe 8. The driving plate 33 can also limit the contact plate 26 to prevent the sliding column 24 from sliding too long.
