Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-detachment gripper technology, and specifically discloses an anti-detachment gripper assembly for industrial robots. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial robots, as core equipment in modern industrial production systems, are widely used in various automated production processes. Their operational efficiency and stability directly affect the overall capacity and product quality of the production line. When industrial robots perform tasks such as material handling, parts assembly, and finished product transfer, they need to contact and grasp target objects through gripper components. Among these, the anti-drop gripper component, with its stable control over the grasped object, becomes a key component in ensuring the safety of industrial robot operations and preventing objects from falling and causing damage or production accidents. By definition, the anti-drop gripper component of an industrial robot is a functional component installed on the end effector of an industrial robot, specifically designed to grasp various objects required for industrial production and to prevent objects from falling off during the grasping and handling process. In the operation process of an industrial robot, it plays an important role in connecting the robot and the target object, and is the core medium for realizing the interaction between the robot and materials. In terms of composition, the anti-drop gripper component typically includes a gripping component for direct contact with the object and application of clamping force, as well as a component for supporting the installation of various parts and facilitating the interaction between parts. The support and transmission components that transmit power or coordinate motion, along with other components with different functions, work together to form the overall structure of the anti-detachment gripper assembly. At the fundamental level of its operation, the anti-detachment gripper assembly primarily achieves stable contact with the object's surface by combining gripping force control or suction force, enabling the object to move synchronously with the robot's movements. Furthermore, by specifically designing against factors that could cause the object to detach during the gripping process, it ensures that the object remains stably gripped throughout the operation. In terms of application areas, the anti-detachment gripper assembly's usage scenarios are highly compatible with the application scope of industrial robots. In the automotive manufacturing industry, it can be used to grip automotive parts and body frames, ensuring stable transfer of parts during assembly. In the electronics manufacturing industry, it can gently and firmly grip precision electronic components and circuit boards, preventing damage. In the logistics and warehousing industry, it can be used to grip various packaged goods and turnover boxes, achieving automated goods sorting and handling. In addition, the anti-detachment gripper assembly also plays an important role in many other industrial fields such as machining and food processing.

[0003] Patent CN222200579U discloses an industrial robot gripper. When the gripping arm and moving arm are overloaded, the stress concentration points will cause damage to the gripping arm and moving arm due to excessive stress, and in severe cases, they may even break. At this time, the goods, the broken gripping arm and moving arm will fall directly to the ground. Since there are processing personnel and other workers walking on the ground, and the gripper is too high to be easily observed, and the weight of the goods and gripping arm and moving arm is too large, the time to fall to the ground is very short, and it is difficult for processing personnel to avoid it. This poses a threat to the personal safety of the workers on the ground. Therefore, an industrial robot anti-fall gripper component was invented to address this defect. Summary of the Invention

A closing assembly is connected to two closing assemblies located at the same end of the mounting limiting groove 1, which are connected to a T-shaped sliding rod 315. The T-shaped sliding rod 315 is slidably installed below the mounting limiting groove 1. A vertical block 318 is fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two T-shaped sliding rods 315.

[0034] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5As shown, a fixed shaft 207 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting limit groove rod 1. Two sliding blocks 202 are symmetrically slidably installed on the fixed shaft 207. Each sliding block 202 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of two power cylinders 201.

A fourth transmission shaft 214 is fixedly installed at the end of the second transmission shaft 212 away from the second transmission shaft 212. A moving connecting rod 204 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fourth transmission shaft 214.

[0035] When it is necessary to grasp the packaged goods, the power cylinder 201 is activated, which pushes the sliding block 202 to slide along the fixed shaft 207. The sliding block 202 drives the second connecting block 209 to move through the first connecting rod 203. The second connecting block 209 drives the first transmission shaft 211 to rotate through the limit linkage ring 210. The first transmission shaft 211 drives the support claw 215 to rotate through the motion connecting rod 204. The rotation of the motion connecting rod 204 extends the support claw 215 into the bottom of the packaged goods, and the support claw 215 grasps the packaged goods.

[0036] As attached Figure 4 To the attached Figure 10As shown, the limiting arc groove 302 is coaxial with the first transmission shaft 211. An approaching inclined rod 307 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the positioning arc block 301. The approaching inclined rod 307 is inclined towards the direction of the mounting limiting groove rod 1. The distance between the approaching inclined rod 307 and the side of the mounting limiting groove rod 1 gradually decreases in the vertically downward direction. An approaching inclined groove 308 is provided on the approaching inclined rod 307, penetrating the approaching inclined rod 307. The limiting arc groove 302 and the approaching inclined groove 308 smoothly connect. The closing assembly includes a second connecting rod 303, which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the first transmission shaft 211. The second connecting rod 303 is located away from the first transmission shaft 211. One end of the first connecting shaft 304 is rotatably mounted with a second connecting shaft 304, which is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the limiting arc groove 302.

An intermediate connecting shaft 312 is fixedly mounted on the end of the sliding shaft 310 away from the third connecting shaft 309. A fourth connecting rod 311 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the intermediate connecting shaft 312.

[0037] As attached Figure 5 To the attached Figure 10 As shown, a first horizontal bar 316 is fixedly installed on the side of the support claw 215. A first horizontal groove 317 is provided on the side of the first horizontal bar 316 away from the support claw 215. A T-shaped sliding rod 315 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the first horizontal groove 317. A third connecting block 314 is fixedly installed on the side of the T-shaped sliding rod 315. A fourth connecting shaft 313 is fixedly installed on the third connecting block 314. The fourth connecting shaft 313 is rotatably connected to the end of the fourth connecting rod 311 away from the middle connecting shaft 312. When the second connecting shaft 304 contacts the contact switch 306, the side of the moving connecting rod 204 in the length direction is parallel to the direction of gravity.

[0038] When the first transmission shaft 211 rotates, it drives the second connecting shaft 304 to slide along the limiting arc groove 302 via the second connecting rod 303. When the second connecting shaft 304 contacts the contact switch 306, the side of the moving connecting rod 204 in the length direction is parallel to the direction of gravity. At this time, the upper end face of the support claw 215 is in contact with the lower end face of the item packaging box. At the same time, the contact switch 306 sends an electrical signal to the power cylinder 201, and the power cylinder 201 stops working. When the second connecting shaft 304 slides along the limiting arc groove 302, the second connecting shaft 304 drives the middle connecting shaft 312 to move towards the item packaging box via the third connecting rod 305. At this time, the middle connecting shaft 312 drives the T-shaped sliding rod 315 and the vertical block 318 to slide along the first horizontal groove 317 towards the item packaging box. Then, the T-shaped sliding rod 315 clamps the side of the item packaging box, and the vertical block 318 limits the upper side of the item packaging box.

[0039] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 As shown, motor 404 is electrically connected to contact switch 306. Each output end of motor 404 is fixedly mounted with a drive shaft 403. The drive shaft 403 is rotatably connected to the motion link 204. The pushing assembly includes an eccentric wheel 401, which is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 403. The connection between the eccentric wheel 401 and the drive shaft 403 is offset from the center of gravity of the drive shaft 403. A fifth connecting shaft 406 is fixedly mounted on the eccentric wheel 401. A fifth link 407 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the fifth connecting shaft 406. A second crossbar 402 is fixedly mounted on the side of the motion link 204. A second horizontal groove 405 is provided on the side of the second crossbar 402. The second horizontal groove 405 passes through the second crossbar 402. A moving block 409 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the second horizontal groove 405. A sixth connecting shaft 408 is fixedly mounted on the side of the moving block 409. The sixth connecting shaft 408 is rotatably connected to the end of the fifth link 407 away from the fifth connecting shaft 406.

[0040] When the second connecting shaft 304 contacts the contact switch 306, the contact switch 306 sends an electrical signal to the motor 404. The motor 404 drives the eccentric wheel 401 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 401 drives the moving block 409 to slide along the inner wall of the second horizontal groove 405 through the fifth connecting rod 407. This, in turn, drives the first lifting rod 410 and the second lifting rod 411 to slide in a direction away from the transmission shaft 403, thereby supporting the bottom of the product packaging box through the first lifting rod 410 and the second lifting rod 411.

[0041] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4As shown, the side of the second lifting rod 411 away from the first lifting rod 410 is fixedly connected to the support rod 501. A limit block 503 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second horizontal groove 405, and the limit block 503 is slidably connected to the support rod 501. The support rod 501 is hollow inside and an electromagnet is installed inside. A contact switch is fixedly installed on the end face of the support rod 501 away from the second lifting rod 411. The contact switch is electrically connected to the electromagnet. In the initial state, the end face of the support rod 501 away from the second lifting rod 411 coincides with the end face of the second crossbar 402 away from the eccentric wheel 401. When the second lifting rod 411 slides in a direction away from the drive shaft 403, it pushes the support rod 501 to slide along the inner wall of the limit block 503, thereby causing the protective net 502 to slide in a direction away from the drive shaft 403. When the contact switches of the support rods 501 on both sides come into contact with each other, the electromagnet inside the support rod 501 is activated, thereby completing the docking of the support rods 501 on both sides through the magnetic force of the electromagnet. Then, the protective net 502 protects the packaging box of the goods and prevents the packaging box of the goods from falling.

[0042] The working principle of this device is as follows.

[0043] (i) When it is necessary to grasp the packaging box, the power cylinder 201 is activated, and the power cylinder 201 pushes the sliding block 202 to slide along the fixed shaft 207. The sliding block 202 drives the second connecting block 209 to move through the first connecting rod 203. The second connecting block 209 drives the first transmission shaft 211 to rotate through the limit linkage ring 210. The first transmission shaft 211 drives the support claw 215 to rotate through the motion connecting rod 204. The rotation of the motion connecting rod 204 extends the support claw 215 into the bottom of the packaging box. The support claw 215 grips the packaging box. When the first transmission shaft 211 rotates, it drives the second connecting shaft 304 to slide along the limiting arc groove 302 via the second connecting rod 303. When the second connecting shaft 304 contacts the contact switch 306, the side of the moving connecting rod 204 in the length direction is parallel to the direction of gravity. At this time, the upper end face of the support claw 215 is in contact with the lower end face of the packaging box. At the same time, the contact switch 306 sends an electrical signal to the power cylinder 201, and the power cylinder 201 stops working.

[0044] (ii) When the second connecting shaft 304 slides along the limiting arc groove 302, the second connecting shaft 304 drives the middle connecting shaft 312 to move closer to the product packaging box through the third connecting rod 305. At this time, the middle connecting shaft 312 drives the T-shaped sliding rod 315 and the vertical block 318 to slide along the first horizontal groove 317 towards the product packaging box. Then, the T-shaped sliding rod 315 clamps the side of the product packaging box, and the vertical block 318 limits the upper side of the product packaging box.

[0045] (iii) When the second connecting shaft 304 contacts the contact switch 306, the contact switch 306 sends an electrical signal to the motor 404. The motor 404 drives the eccentric wheel 401 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 401 drives the moving block 409 to slide along the inner wall of the second horizontal groove 405 through the fifth connecting rod 407. This drives the first lifting rod 410 and the second lifting rod 411 to slide in a direction away from the transmission shaft 403, thereby supporting the bottom of the item packaging box through the first lifting rod 410 and the second lifting rod 411.

[0046] (iv) When the second lifting rod 411 slides in the direction away from the drive shaft 403, it pushes the support rod 501 to slide along the inner wall of the limit block 503, thereby driving the protective net 502 to slide in the direction away from the drive shaft 403. When the contact switches of the support rods 501 on both sides come into contact with each other, the electromagnet inside the support rod 501 is activated, thereby completing the docking of the support rods 501 on both sides through the magnetic force of the electromagnet. Then, the protective net 502 protects the packaging box of the goods and prevents the packaging box of the goods from falling.
