Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of handling fixtures, and in particular to an automated and flexible automatic fixture for turnover boxes. Background Art

[0002] Turnover boxes are a common material storage unit and are often used for the transfer and temporary storage of materials in industrial production. Since turnover boxes are usually made of plastic and the box body is easily deformed, the clamping method determines the safety and reliability of the turnover box during transportation.

[0003] Turnover boxes are usually stacked in multiple layers. Currently, most of the handling of turnover boxes is done manually or with the assistance of a power-assisted crane for stacking and unstacking. This is labor-intensive and inefficient. Although a 3D camera is installed on a conventional automated fixture to provide the fixture with accurate coordinates and guide the automated fixture to grasp. However, there is a risk that conventional automated fixtures will be compatible with the cumulative position error when turnover boxes are stacked in multiple layers. In addition, since turnover boxes are usually made of plastic, the box body is easily deformed, and the grasping position may be inaccurate during grasping, posing a certain safety risk. Therefore, there is a need for an automated and flexible turnover box automatic fixture that can accommodate the cumulative position error when multiple layers are stacked, thereby realizing the automated production of turnover box transfers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an automatic clamp for turnover boxes to overcome or at least partially solve the above problems. The clamp can accommodate the cumulative position error when turnover boxes are stacked in multiple layers, thereby realizing the automated production of turnover box transfer.

[0036] Among them, during the downward movement of the main frame, the heads of the four positioning cone pins 104 of the four positioning detection mechanisms 1 enter the interior of the turnover box 22. When the position of the turnover box 22 is offset, the inclined surface of the positioning cone pin 104 contacts the inner wall of the turnover box 22. As the positioning detection mechanism 1 continues to move downward as a whole, the positioning cone pin 104 moves upward relative to the linear bearing 102, so that the compression spring 103 is compressed.

[0042] In order to facilitate the installation of the positioning detection mechanism 1, the embodiment of the present application can be provided with a bearing seat 101, and the linear bearing 102 is connected to the clamp top plate 2 through the bearing seat 101. The positioning detection mechanism 1 further comprises a detection switch 108 connected to the bearing seat 101 through a switch bracket 107, and the detection switch 108 is used to detect the position of the positioning taper pin 104. The turnover box gripper positioning detection mechanism 1 is provided with a protection function, and the detection switch 108 can detect the compression amount of the compression spring 103.

[0045] The specific structure and use method of the automatic clamp for the turnover box provided by the present application will be described in detail below by taking the suction cup assembly as an example.

[0046] The connection relationship of each part of the turnover box automatic clamp comprises:

[0047] The clamp top plate 2, the two cylinder mounting plates 13 and the two clamp side support plates 3 are connected together to build a clamp main frame, and the two clamp side support plates 3 are each provided with two sliding guide rails 11 and two positioning detection mechanisms 1. The gripper bottom plate 4 is fixed on the gripper connecting plate 5, the gripper connecting plate 5 and the gripper top plate 7 are connected together through the two gripper support angle plates 6 to build a gripper main body, the proximity switch 8 is installed on the gripper connecting plate 6, two suction cup connecting steel pipes 10 are installed on each gripper top plate 7, the vacuum suction cup 9 is connected to the lower side of the suction cup connecting steel pipe 10, and the gripper top plate 7 is connected to the sliding blocks of the two sliding guide rails 11, so that the gripper main body can move along the direction of the sliding guide rail 11.

[0048] The two-stroke cylinder 12 is fixed to the cylinder mounting plate 13. The front end of the cylinder telescopic rod is equipped with a cylinder connector 14, which is connected to the gripper top plate 7. A bearing mounting plate 15 is connected to the two clamp side support plates 3. The bearing mounting plate 15 is mounted on the bearing 16. The balance bar 18 is connected to the bearing 16 via a rotating pin 17. The two ends of the balance bar 18 are each connected to a connecting bar 19 via a hinge pin 17. The other end of the connecting bar 19 is connected to the connecting bar mounting block 21 on the gripper connecting plate 5 via a hinge pin 20.

[0049] The connection relationship of the turnover box automatic fixture positioning detection mechanism 1 is as follows: a linear bearing 102 is fixed to the bearing seat 101, a spring stopper 105 is mounted on the positioning cone pin 104, the upper part of the positioning cone pin 104 passes through the linear bearing 102 and is connected to the positioning cone pin stopper 106 to prevent the positioning cone pin 104 from falling due to gravity. The compression spring 103 is mounted on the positioning cone pin 104 and is located between the spring stopper 105 and the bearing seat 101. The switch bracket 107 is installed on the fixture top plate 2. The switch bracket 107 is equipped with a detection switch 108 and is installed as a whole on the bearing seat 101 to detect the position of the positioning cone pin 104.

[0050] The working process of the turnover box automatic gripper includes:

[0051] When it is necessary to grab the turnover box 22, the robot drives the automatic gripper of the turnover box to move to the top of the turnover box 22, so that the four positioning cone pins 104 of the positioning detection mechanism 1 stay above the four corners inside the turnover box 22. As the robot drives the automatic gripper of the turnover box to move downward, the heads of the four positioning cone pins 104 of the positioning detection mechanism 1 enter the interior of the turnover box 22. When the position of the turnover box 22 shifts, the inclined surface of the positioning cone pin 104 contacts the inner wall of the turnover box 22. As the positioning detection mechanism 1 continues to move downward as a whole, the positioning cone pin 104 The relative linear bearing 102 moves upward, causing the compression spring 103 on the positioning cone pin 104 to be compressed. The positioning cone pin 104 will be subjected to the downward reaction force of the compression spring 103. The positioning cone pin 104 then applies a lateral force through the conical surface in contact with the inner wall of the turnover box 22. The continuous downward movement of the positioning detection mechanism 1 as a whole will cause the compression of the spring to continue to increase, thereby causing the lateral force of the positioning cone pin 104 on the turnover box 22 to continue to increase until the position of the turnover box 22 is corrected, thereby eliminating the cumulative position error of the turnover box 22 when multiple layers are stacked. After the turnover box automatic gripper is lowered into place, the two double-stroke cylinders 12 work, driving a stroke to drive the gripper connecting plate 5 to close, and then the automatic gripper rises as a whole, so that the gripper bottom plate lifts the turnover box 22 up, realizing the grasping and transportation of the turnover box 22.

[0052] The automatic gripper for turnover boxes can grab the turnover box cover, and the working process includes:

[0053] After the robot drives the automatic gripper of the turnover box to move to the top of the turnover box cover, the two double-stroke cylinders 12 work, driving the two-stage stroke to move the vacuum suction cup 9 to the turnover box cover. The robot drives the automatic gripper of the turnover box to move downward, so that the four vacuum suction cups 9 contact the turnover box cover and adsorb it, and then the automatic gripper rises as a whole, driving the turnover box cover to rise, thereby realizing the grasping and transfer of the turnover box cover.

[0054] The turnover box claw positioning detection mechanism 1 is provided with a protection function. The detection switch 108 can detect the compression amount of the compression spring 103. When the spring compression amount reaches the maximum set value, the positioning cone pin limit plate 106 at the tail of the positioning cone pin 104 will be detected by the detection switch 108, reminding the device that the force applied by the positioning cone pin 104 to the turnover box has reached the limit value.

[0055] The proximity switch 8 can be used to detect the presence or absence of the turnover box 22 when the automatic gripper grabs the turnover box 22.

[0056] The turnover box claw adopts a bottom-covering design, and the gripper base plate 4 will extend into the handle of the turnover box 22 when the claw grabs, which greatly eliminates the risk of the turnover box 22 falling during transportation.

[0057] The turnover box claw is designed with a linkage mechanism. The linkage lever mechanism composed of a bearing, a rotating pin 17, a balance bar 18, a connecting bar 19, a hinge pin, etc. can ensure the synchronization of the movement of the grab plates on both sides and improve the stability of the equipment.

[0058] In summary, the automatic clamp for turnover boxes provided by the present application can accommodate the cumulative position error when turnover boxes are stacked in multiple layers, thereby realizing the automated production of turnover box transportation. The automatic gripper for turnover boxes can accommodate the grabbing and transportation of turnover box covers. The positioning detection mechanism of the turnover box gripper is provided with a protection function. The detection switch can detect the compression amount of the compression spring. When the compression amount of the spring reaches the maximum set value, the positioning cone pin limit plate at the tail of the positioning cone pin will be detected by the detection switch, reminding the equipment that the force applied by the positioning cone pin to the turnover box has reached the limit value. The proximity switch can be used to detect the presence or absence of the turnover box when the automatic gripper grabs the turnover box. With the bottom-covering design, the gripper bottom plate will extend into the turnover box handle when the gripper grabs, which greatly eliminates the risk of falling during the turnover box transportation process. The linkage lever mechanism composed of bearings, rotating pins, balance bars, connecting bars, hinge pins, etc. can ensure the synchronization of the movement of the grab plates on both sides and improve the stability of the equipment.
