Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manipulators, and in particular to a manipulator for producing fire dampers and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the automatic fire damper production line, the robot is usually used as part of the automation integration, working in coordination with other equipment such as fire damper frame forming machines, blade forming machines, support strip forming machines, etc. The robot can accurately complete tasks such as grasping, handling and assembling various components of the fire damper, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] At present, within the scope of existing technologies, when performing the pick-up and placement operations of fire dampers, the robot usually follows a rather cumbersome process: first, the processed fire dampers need to be taken out from the workstation one by one, and then transferred to the preset position; then, the robot needs to return to the discharge area, clamp the new fire damper, and then place it in the processing area. This series of actions is not only time-consuming, but also leads to a clear separation between effective working time and ineffective waiting time, resulting in unnecessary loss of time resources.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional manipulators often rely on built-in pick-up plates to carry fire dampers by clamping on both sides. However, during the movement of the manipulator, slight vibrations may cause fluctuations in the clamping force, which in turn may lead to unstable clamping or even the risk of falling off, which undoubtedly increases the instability of the product during movement. In addition, the fire damper may be contaminated with debris during the processing process. When the pick-up plate clamps the fire damper, these debris will not only affect the stability of the clamping, but may also cause scratches or damage to the surface of the fire damper due to friction, further reducing the quality of the product.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention document proposes a manipulator and method for producing fire dampers. Summary of the invention

[0016] Preferably, the other end of the bidirectional screw is fixedly connected to a first transmission gear, the first transmission gear is meshed with the second transmission gear, and a guide opening is opened on one side of the support frame.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting assembly comprises a roller body, one end of which is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped opening, and the curvature of the arc-shaped opening is smaller than the curvature of the arc-shaped portion;

[0018] A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the roller body, and an I-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the roller body. The I-shaped plate is slidably arranged in the guide opening.

[0020] A method for using a manipulator for producing a fire damper, comprising the following steps:

[0021] S1. When the fire damper is being gripped, the second drive motor drives the second transmission gear to rotate, and the second transmission gear and the first transmission gear are driven to rotate, so that the first transmission gear drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, and the bidirectional screw drives the two nuts to approach each other, so that the two movable bars drive the two gripping parts to move relative to each other, so that the two gripping parts grip the fire damper;

[0022] S2, after clamping, the first driving motor drives the switching shaft to rotate, so that the two clamping components rotate and switch, so that the support frame drives the roller body to move out of the arc portion. Since the curvature of the arc portion is greater than the curvature of the arc mouth, the arc mouth drives the roller body to move, so that the roller body drives the limit plate to move, and the limit plate is pressed against the limit plate, so that the bidirectional screw is locked, and the clamping component that does not clamp the fire damper turns to the bottom, and the roller body follows and moves to the lower arc portion, so that the limit plate and the limit plate remain separated;

[0023] S3, then the manipulator equipment is transferred to the processing area, and the fire damper in the processing area is clamped by the driving component and the clamping component.

[0024] S4. After the processed fire damper is grasped and clamped, the two grasping and clamping components are switched again through the switching component. At this time, the unprocessed fire damper turns to the bottom, and the limit component moves downward through the arc part to disengage from the limit plate. At this time, the fire damper is placed in the processing area. After placement, the two grasping and clamping components are switched again, and the processed fire damper is transferred to the next area through the manipulator equipment. At the same time, the manipulator equipment grasps the unprocessed fire damper again, and then the material grasping operation is repeated in sequence.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a manipulator for producing fire dampers and a method thereof, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The fire damper production robot and method thereof can clamp the processed fire damper by driving the gripping assembly through the driving assembly. After clamping, the two gripping assemblies are driven to rotate by the switching assembly to switch the positions of the gripping assemblies. At this time, the other gripping assembly grips the unprocessed fire damper at the bottom, and then directly feeds the material. After completion, the two gripping assemblies are switched again, and the processed fire damper can be smoothly delivered to the next area. In this way, the material can be grasped and fed by replacing the two gripping assemblies, and there is no need to grab the material and deliver it to the next area and then take the material again, thereby reducing the idle stroke running time of the robot equipment and improving the processing efficiency. In addition, the gripping assembly adopts a switching type, which is simple to operate and has a low cost.

[0027] 2. The fire damper production robot and method thereof, drives the switching shaft to rotate through the first driving motor, so that the gripping assembly rotates, so that the roller body at the bottom is separated from the arc portion, and drives the limit plate to move upward along the arc mouth, so that the limit plate plays a role of limiting the limit plate, thereby ensuring the stability of the gripping assembly gripping the fire damper, and drives the second transmission gear and the first transmission gear through the second driving motor, so that the two-way screw drives the two movable bars to move relative to each other through the two nuts, so that the elastic airbag is exhausted through the air pipe, and the process of the gripping part gripping the fire damper can accelerate the air flow through the air outlet, thereby removing the debris attached to the fire damper, and avoiding the debris after gripping to cause damage to the surface of the fire damper.

[0028] 3. The fire damper production robot and method thereof can complete the clamping of the fire damper by driving the clamping assembly through the driving assembly. After clamping, the two clamping assemblies can be driven to rotate by the switching assembly to switch the positions of the two clamping assemblies, so as to facilitate the subsequent clamping of the fire damper directly in the processing area and reduce unnecessary operations. At the same time, during the switching process, the limit assembly is transferred from the arc portion to the arc mouth. At this time, the limit assembly can be pressed against the limit plate to achieve the function of locking the clamping assembly, thereby achieving the function of direct limiting. This method does not require unnecessary operations, which is not only beneficial to the control of the robot equipment, but also has a simple structure and efficient and flexible operation.

Since the curvature of the arc portion 204 is greater than the curvature of the arc opening 202, the roller body 2071 is driven to move through the curvature of the arc opening 202, so that the roller body 2071 drives the limit plate 2072 to move, and the limit plate 2072 is pressed against the limit plate 209, so that the bidirectional screw 2054 is locked, and the clamping assembly 205 that does not clamp the fire damper turns to the bottom, and the roller body 2071 follows and moves to the lower arc portion 204, so that the limit plate 2072 and the limit plate 209 remain separated;

[0056] S3, then the manipulator device 100 is transferred to the processing area, and the driving component 206 cooperates with the clamping component 205 to clamp the fire damper in the processing area. During the clamping process, the two movable bars 2052 squeeze the elastic airbag 2081, so that the elastic airbag 2081 discharges the gas through the gas pipe 2083 and the gas outlet shell 2084, and the air flow is discharged through the gas outlet 2085 to clean the fire damper;

[0057] S4. After the processed fire damper is grasped and clamped, the two grasping and clamping components 205 are switched again through the switching component 203. At this time, the unprocessed fire damper turns to the bottom, and at this time, the limit component 207 moves downward through the arc portion 204 to disengage from the limit plate 209. At this time, the fire damper is placed in the processing area. After placement, the two grasping and clamping components 205 are switched again, and the processed fire damper is transferred to the next area through the manipulator device 100. At the same time, the manipulator device 100 grasps the unprocessed fire damper again, and then the grasping operation is repeated in sequence.
