[0024] Furthermore, a positioning column slidably sleeved with the abutting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving plate. A U-shaped frame is rotatably connected between the two ends of the clamping frame. The U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the abutting plate.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0026] 1. The linear motor can drive the moving seat to move on the slide rail, thereby driving the four-axis manipulator to move horizontally. The telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder can drive the end of the swing arm to rotate around the end rotatably connected to the moving seat. At the same time, the stepping motor at the bottom of the right-angle seat can drive the rotating plate to rotate, so as to drive the clamping mechanism to complete a variety of complex actions for moving and feeding. By inserting the mounting posts on both side walls of the docking cylinder in the pneumatic adjustment mechanism into the limiting plates on both sides of the rotating cylinder, and then starting the electric rod to drive the two clamping half-rings to merge and clamp and position the docking cylinder and the rotating cylinder. In this way, the rotating cylinder can be connected to the docking cylinder, and pneumatic means can be used to clamp objects or adsorption structures. It can also facilitate the replacement or maintenance of the clamping structure at the end of the manipulator. At the same time, the output end of the driving motor can drive the spur gear to mesh and rotate with the toothed ring, so as to drive the rotating cylinder and its bottom structure to rotate accordingly, so as to drive the end of the manipulator to adjust the direction for clamping and feeding various objects.

[0027] 2. The air pump, rotating cylinder and docking cylinder can pump the air in the cavity plate. Since each positioning cylinder is connected to the cavity plate, a negative pressure state will be maintained in the four positioning cylinders, so as to drive the sliding table and the closing plate to drive the telescopic cylinder to contract into the positioning cylinder until the abutting plate on the outer wall of the telescopic cylinder abuts against the side wall of the object, so that the telescopic cylinder is positioned. Then, when the closing plate continues to move, it will be separated from the sliding table. The closing plate drives the two round rods to slide with the sliding table, so that the first compression spring is compressed. Through the round hole two opened on the closing plate, it can be connected to the round hole two in the sliding table, so that the cavity plate can be connected to the connecting pipe. The air in the telescopic pipe can be extracted through the connecting pipe. The contraction of the telescopic pipe can drive the translation column at the end to translate. Since there are multiple notches in the bottom chute of the translation column, the translation column can slide and fit with multiple ball head columns outside the rotating table, so as to drive the rotating table and the worm to rotate, and then drive the worm wheel and the rotating shaft to rotate. The bottom circular plate is synchronously driven to rotate through the rotating shaft. Then, the circular plate drives one end of the linkage rod to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the other end of the linkage rod can drive the moving plate to move outward. The moving plate can drive the driving rod, and then the end of the driving rod can drive the clamping frame to rotate in the U-shaped frame, so that the clamping frames in the four protective covers can clamp the material. By making the four telescopic cylinders first contract until the abutting plate abuts against the side wall of the material and then clamping, the manipulator can easily adjust the position of the clamping structure adaptively according to the shape of the material and then clamp it. Compared with the existing parallel claw structure, this manipulator can conveniently clamp and feed irregularly shaped materials.

[0028] 3. When feeding plate-like materials or materials with smooth and flat surfaces, the output end of the servo motor can drive the partition, the sliding table and the telescopic cylinder to flip 180 degrees, so that the circular hole remains connected to the connecting hole, and the suction cup on the outer wall of the telescopic cylinder is adjusted from the vertical upward direction to the vertical downward direction. Similarly, when the telescopic cylinder is contracted to the point where the abutment plate and the side of the material are abutted, the closing plate and the sliding table are separated, and then the air is sucked into the curved pipe through the connecting hole, so that multiple suction cups are used to adsorb and feed plate-like materials or materials with smooth and flat surfaces, and the position of the suction cup can be adjusted according to the shape of the plate-like material for adsorption. Therefore, it can adaptively adjust and then adsorb according to the shape of the plate-like material, so it is convenient to feed materials of different sizes. The manipulator can therefore quickly adjust the feeding method according to the type of material, and can facilitate the movement and feeding of various types of materials through clamping and adsorption, thereby improving the scope of use of the manipulator.

Specific embodiments

[0042] 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 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.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1-12 In an embodiment of the present invention, a four-axis transfer and feeding manipulator includes:

[0044] The multi-axis drive mechanism 100 is used to drive the manipulator to perform multi-axis rotation or movement to complete complex actions; the installation mechanism 200 is used to disassemble or install the clamping structure at the end of the manipulator; the pneumatic adjustment mechanism 300 is used to adjust the connection between the pneumatic source and the clamping structure or the adsorption structure and to adjust the relative position of the clamping structure or the adsorption structure. The pneumatic adjustment mechanism 300 is provided with an adsorption structure; the object clamping mechanism 400 is used to clamp an object; the object clamping mechanism 400 includes: a telescopic tube 401, which is in pneumatic connection with the pneumatic adjustment mechanism 300; a self-locking transmission unit, which is connected to the output end of the telescopic tube 401, and the movement of the end is only controlled by its input end; a clamping bracket 415, which is connected to the output end of the self-locking transmission unit and is used to clamp an object.

[0045] The self-locking transmission unit includes a translation column 402 fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic tube 401. A chute 403 is formed at the bottom of the translation column 402. A plurality of notches are equidistantly arranged in the chute 403. A rotating table 404 is arranged at the bottom of the translation column 402. A plurality of ball head columns 405 are annularly and slidably connected in the rotating table 404. An extrusion spring two 406 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating table 404 is sleeved outside the ball head column 405. A worm 407 is fixedly connected to the center position of the rotating table 404. A worm gear 409 is meshed and connected to one side of the worm 407. A rotating shaft 408 is fixedly sleeved at the center position of the worm gear 409. A round plate 410 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 408. One end of a linkage rod 411 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the round plate 410. The other end of the linkage rod 411 is rotatably connected to a moving plate 412. One end of a driving rod 414 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the moving plate 412. The other end of the driving rod 414 is rotatably connected to the clamping bracket 415.

[0046] Two abutting plates 322 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the telescopic cylinder 305. A protective cover 306 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic cylinder 305. A positioning column 413 slidably sleeved with the abutting plate 322 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving plate 412. A U-shaped frame 416 is rotatably connected between the two ends of the clamping bracket 415. The U-shaped frame 416 is fixedly connected to the abutting plate 322.

[0047] Specifically, the air pump 202, the rotating cylinder 203, and the docking cylinder 301 can be used to pump out the air in the cavity plate 303. Since each positioning cylinder 304 is connected to the cavity plate 303, a negative pressure state is maintained in the four positioning cylinders 304, which can drive the sliding table 307 and the closing plate 312 to drive the telescopic cylinder 305 to contract into the positioning cylinder 304 until the abutting plate 322 on the outer wall of the telescopic cylinder 305 abuts against the side wall of the object, so as to keep the telescopic cylinder 305 positioned. Then, when the closing plate 312 continues to move, it will separate from the sliding table 307. The closing plate 312 drives the two round rods 308 to slide relative to the sliding table 307, causing the first compression spring 309 to be compressed. Through the circular hole two 317 opened on the closing plate 312, it can communicate with the circular hole two 317 in the sliding table 307, so that the cavity plate 303 can communicate with the connecting pipe 321. Through the connecting pipe 321, air can be pumped out of the telescopic pipe 401. The contraction of the telescopic pipe 401 can drive the translation column 402 at the end to translate. Since there are multiple notches in the bottom chute 403 of the translation column 402, the translation column 402 will cause the notches to slide and fit with multiple ball head columns 405 outside the rotating table 404, so as to drive the rotating table 404 and the worm 407 to rotate, and then drive the worm gear 409 and the rotating shaft 408 to rotate. The rotating shaft 408 synchronously drives the circular plate 410 at the bottom to rotate, and then the circular plate 410 drives one end of the linkage rod 411 to rotate around the rotating shaft 408, so that the other end of the linkage rod 411 can drive the moving plate 412 to move outward. The moving plate 412 can drive the driving rod 414, and then the end of the driving rod 414 can drive the clamping bracket 415 to rotate in the C-shaped frame 416, so that the clamping brackets 415 in the four protective covers 306 can clamp the material. By first contracting the four telescopic cylinders 305 until the abutting plate 322 abuts against the side wall of the material and then clamping, the manipulator can easily adaptively adjust the position of the clamping structure according to the shape of the material and then clamp it. Compared with the existing parallel jaw structure, this manipulator can conveniently clamp and feed irregularly shaped materials;

[0048] When the clamping bracket 415 rotates to clamp the material, the translation column 402 continues to move, causing the notches to drive the multiple ball head columns 405 outside the rotating table 404 to contract into the rotating table 404. At the same time, the second compression spring 406 can squeeze the ball head columns 405 to quickly reset, causing the rotating table 404 to stop rotating. Therefore, the clamping bracket 415 maintains the clamping force on the material without increasing, thus avoiding damage to the material caused by excessive clamping force. Through the connection method of the worm 407 and the worm gear 409, the position of the rotating shaft 408 can be locked, so that the clamping bracket 415 can be prevented from rotating in the reverse direction and loosening the clamping of the material.

[0054] In specific implementation, when feeding plate-shaped materials or materials with smooth surfaces, the output end of the servo motor 314 can drive the partition plate 313, the sliding table 307, and the telescopic cylinder 305 to flip 180 degrees, so that the circular hole 316 remains connected to the connecting hole 315, so that the suction cup 320 on the outer wall of the telescopic cylinder 305 is adjusted from the vertical upward direction to the vertical downward direction. Similarly, when the telescopic cylinder 305 is retracted to the abutment plate 322 and the side of the material abut, the closing plate 312 and the sliding table 307 are separated, and then the material is passed through the connecting hole 316. 15 pairs of curved pipes 318 suck air, thereby utilizing multiple suction cups 320 to adsorb and feed plate-like materials or materials with smooth and flat surfaces, and the positions of the suction cups 320 can be adjusted for adsorption according to the shapes of the plate-like materials, so that the shapes of the plate-like materials can be adaptively adjusted and then adsorbed, thereby facilitating the feeding of materials of different sizes. The present manipulator can therefore quickly adjust the feeding method according to the types of materials, and can facilitate the movement and feeding of various types of materials through the two methods of clamping and adsorption, thereby improving the scope of use of the manipulator.
