[0043] like Figures 6-11 As shown, the switching assembly also includes a first electric push rod 52 embedded in the output shaft of the stepper motor 51, and a driving gear 53 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first electric push rod 52, and arc-shaped gear racks 54 used in conjunction with the driving gear 53 are fixedly connected on both sides of the supporting seat 3. The first electric push rod 52 first adjusts the meshing stroke between the driving gear 53 and one set of arc-shaped gear racks 54 to a desired position, and then the stepper motor 51 drives the supporting seat 3 on the arc-shaped gear rack 54 to rotate linearly through the driving gear 53 on the first electric push rod 52 that is meshed in place, and the bottom of the supporting seat 3 is respectively provided with a first electric clamp 55, a second electric clamp 56 and a third electric clamp 57 with different clamping arm designs, and the supporting seat 3 drives the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 with different clamping arms to switch according to the clamping style and clamping position of the current item;
[0044] The first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 are distributed in an axially symmetrical state along the central axis of the supporting seat 3, and the angle between them is an acute angle, so that the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 are reasonably distributed, so that their subsequent lifting and switching adjustments will not cause collision interference. The inner cavity of the arc-shaped gear rack 54 is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail 9, and the inner cavity of the arc-shaped guide rail 9 is slidably connected with an arc-shaped slide bar 10 fixedly matched with the side guard frame 4, which plays a role of rotational support for the arc-shaped gear rack 54 and improves the linear rotation stability of the arc-shaped gear rack 54. The center of the bottom of the supporting seat 3 is fixedly connected with an electric cylinder 11 fixedly matched with the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 to control the lifting and lowering of the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57;
[0045] The bottom of the supporting seat 3 is fixedly connected with sliding rods 12 on all sides, and the sliding rods 12 are slidably connected with slide cylinders 13 fixed to the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57. Under the sliding support of the sliding rods 12 and the slide cylinder 13, the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 are stably raised and lowered by the electric cylinder 11, so that they can directly reach the clamping position of the object. The outer side of the supporting seat 3 is fixedly connected with an angle sensor 14, and the outer sides of the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 are fixedly connected with a position sensor 15. The outer side of the supporting seat 3 near the angle sensor 14 is fixedly connected with an industrial camera 16, which monitors and tracks the angles, trajectory positions and images of the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 during switching in real time to ensure that they reach the clamping position of the object accurately.
[0046] The displacement assembly also includes a first slave bevel gear 62 provided on the first main bevel gear 61, and the first slave bevel gear 62 is fixedly connected to a second electric push rod 63, a second main bevel gear 64 is sleeved on the second electric push rod 63, and the second main bevel gear 64 is meshed with a second slave bevel gear 65. After the meshing stroke between the first main bevel gear 61 and the first slave bevel gear 62 is adjusted into place by the second electric push rod 63, the second main bevel gear 64 and the second slave bevel gear 65 are successively driven to rotate by the stepping motor 51 through the first main bevel gear 61 and the first slave bevel gear 62 that are meshed into place. A forward and reverse threaded rod 66 that rotates with the articulated frame 1 is fixedly connected to the second slave bevel gear 65, and both sides of the forward and reverse threaded rod 66 are threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 67. The second slave bevel gear 65 drives the two groups of threaded sleeves 67 on the forward and reverse threaded rod 66 to adjust the displacement toward each other;
[0047] The positioning assembly also includes a sliding member 72 mounted on the threaded sleeve 67 and slidingly engaged with the articulated frame 1. The two sets of threaded sleeves 67 drive the two sets of sliding members 72 to move inward or outward synchronously, and both sides of the bottom of the sliding member 72 are fixedly connected to sliders 73 that slide with the slide groove 71. The top of the sliding member 72 is fixedly connected to a base 74, and the inner side of the base 74 is fixedly connected to a positioning head 75. Both sides of the connector 2 are provided with a slot 76 that engages with the base 74, and both sides of the inner cavity of the slot 76 are provided with a positioning slot 77 that engages with the positioning head 75. The top of the articulated frame 1 is fixedly connected to the docking head 17, and the bottom of the connector 2 is fixedly connected. The part is provided with a docking groove 18 which is engaged with the docking head 17, which plays the role of pre-docking and positioning between the articulated frame 1 and the connecting member 2. The two groups of sliding members 72 drive the two groups of card seats 74 and positioning heads 75 to move inward synchronously and get into the two groups of card slots 76 and positioning slots 77 in the connecting member 2, completing the installation work between the connecting member 2 on the industrial robot and the articulated frame 1 and its entirety. Conversely, the two groups of sliding members 72 drive the two groups of card seats 74 and positioning heads 75 to move outward synchronously and disengage from the two groups of card slots 76 and positioning slots 77 in the connecting member 2, completing the rapid disassembly work between the connecting member 2 on the industrial robot and the articulated frame 1 and its entirety, providing convenience for subsequent maintenance and replacement.
[0048] like Figure 12-13 As shown, when the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 of different clamping arms are switched according to the current position and type of the article, the stability is poor, which causes them to shake and tilt, which is not conducive to the accurate clamping of the article. A limiting component used in conjunction with the switching component is provided on the other side of the side guard frame 4, and the limiting component includes a slide 81 diagonally opened on the outside of the side guard frame 4, and a stabilizing gear 82 is engaged with another set of arc-shaped gear racks 54. The arc-shaped gear rack 54, which is driven by the driving gear 53 to move in an arc trajectory, also drives the stabilizing gear 82 to rotate accordingly, and the outer side of the stabilizing gear 82 is fixedly connected to a ratchet 83 through a rotating shaft and rotates with the side guard frame 4. Ratchet pawls 84 are clamped on both sides of the ratchet 83, and the pawls 84 are fixedly connected to a gear fixed to the side guard frame 4 The spring 85 with fixed fit, under the elastic limit fit of the spring 85, the stabilizing gear 82 drives the pawl 84 on the ratchet 83 to jump the teeth, and the arc-shaped tooth rack 54 restricts the switching movement of the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 on the supporting seat 3, thereby improving the stability during the switching process. The outer side of the pawl 84 is fixedly connected to a lever 86 that slides with the sliding mouth 81, and the outer side of the side guard frame 4 is diagonally hinged with an electric telescopic rod 87 that hinges with the lever 86. If the restrictive measures on the arc-shaped tooth rack 54 need to be released, the two electric telescopic rods 87 are controlled to drive the two levers 86 to push outward in the sliding mouth 81, forcing the two levers 86 to drive the two pawls 84 to disengage from the ratchet 83, thereby releasing the restrictive measures of the stabilizing gear 82 on the arc-shaped tooth rack 54.
[0049] The working principle of an industrial robot gripping mechanism is as follows: according to the gripping style and placement position of the current item, the first electric push rod 52 is first controlled to open and drive the driving gear 53 to move forward and clamp to the meshing part of the arc gear rack 54, and then the stepping motor 51 is controlled to open and drive the arc gear rack 54 to rotate linearly in the forward or reverse direction through the meshing driving gear 53. The articulated frame 1 plays an articulated support role on the supporting seat 3, and the arc guide rail 9 and the arc slide bar 10 play a sliding limit role on the arc gear rack 54. Under the forward or reverse linear rotation of the arc gear rack 54, the first electric clamp 55 and the second electric clamp 55 are driven by the supporting seat 3. The movable clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 are switched accordingly. During this period, the angle sensor 14 and the position sensor 15 have been monitoring the switching angles and trajectories of the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 and the third electric clamp 57 in real time. The industrial camera 16 tracks and locates the switched images to ensure that they are accurately switched to the clamping style and placement position that suits the current item. Then, the electric cylinder 11 on the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 or the third electric clamp 57 currently in place is controlled to open. With the sliding limit cooperation of the slide rod 12 and the slide cylinder 13, the electric cylinder 11 After driving the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 or the third electric clamp 57 to move down to the clamping position of the article for clamping operation, the stepping motor 51 is first controlled to pause, and then the first electric push rod 52 is controlled to close and drive the driving gear 53 to move backward to disengage from the meshing part of the arc-shaped gear rack 54 to the initial position. At the same time, the arc-shaped gear rack 54 drives the supporting seat 3 and its entire linear forward or reverse rotation. During this period, the supporting seat 3 drives the stabilizing gear 82 to rotate forward or reverse accordingly through another set of arc-shaped gear racks 54. The stabilizing gear 82 drives the ratchet 83 to move accordingly through the rotating shaft. Under the support and cooperation of the two springs 85, The two pawls 84 are driven to jump teeth on the ratchet 83, and the ratchet 83 and the two pawls 84 provide a restraining measure for the stabilizing gear 82 and the other set of arc-shaped gear racks 54, thereby stabilizing the support base 3 and the entirety thereof. If it is necessary to release the restraining measures on the support base 3 and the entirety thereof, the two electric telescopic rods 87 are controlled to open and drive the two levers 86 to press outward in the sliding opening 81. The two levers 86 drive the two pawls 84 to disengage from the surface of the ratchet 83 and compress the two springs 85. The two pawls 84 are then disengaged from the ratchet 83, and the restraining measures on the support base 3 and the entirety thereof are released.
[0050] When the first electric clamp 55, the second electric clamp 56 or the third electric clamp 57 needs to be disassembled and repaired, the second electric push rod 63 is first controlled to open and drive the first slave bevel gear 62 to move down and engage with the first main bevel gear 61, and then the stepping motor 51 is controlled to open again and drive the first slave bevel gear 62 to rotate through the first main bevel gear 61 engaged in place, and the first slave bevel gear 62 successively drives the second main bevel gear 64 and the second slave bevel gear 65 to rotate, and the second slave bevel gear 65 drives the forward and reverse threaded rod 66 rotates in the opposite direction, and the forward and reverse threaded rods 66 drive the two groups of threaded sleeves 67 to move outward synchronously. With the slider 73 and the slide groove 71 acting as a sliding limit for the sliding member 72, the two groups of threaded sleeves 67 drive the two groups of sliding members 72 to move outward, and the two groups of sliding members 72 drive the two groups of clamping seats 74 and positioning heads 75 to disengage from the clamping grooves 76 and positioning grooves 77 on both sides of the connecting member 2. After the docking joint 17 is disengaged from the docking groove 18, the clamping measures between the articulated frame 1 and the connecting member 2 can be released, and it can be separated from the industrial robot for regular maintenance.
[0051] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the stepper motor 51, electric push rod, electric clamp, electric telescopic rod 87 and various sensors need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be repeated in detail.
[0052] The power supply circuits of the stepping motor 51 , the electric push rod, the electric clamp, the electric telescopic rod 87 and various sensors are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
