[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of robotic arms for retrieving parts, specifically a robotic arm for retrieving automotive air conditioning components. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding is a common processing method in the production of automotive air conditioning parts. After injection molding, the molded parts need to be removed from the mold and transferred for subsequent processing or assembly.

[0003] In the current technology, many production workshops still rely on manual labor to complete the part picking work, which has the following disadvantages: when picking parts manually, improper operation can easily damage the automotive air conditioning parts, increasing production costs and safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a robotic arm for picking up automotive air conditioning parts, in order to solve the problem that improper operation can easily damage automotive air conditioning parts during manual picking, thereby increasing production costs and safety risks.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: a robotic arm for retrieving automotive air conditioning components, comprising a sliding plate, the sliding plate being slidably mounted on a second electric slide rail, a lifting plate being slidably mounted on one side of the sliding plate, a lifting electric slide rail being mounted on one side of the sliding plate, the lifting plate being slidably mounted with the lifting electric slide rail, a loading and unloading plate being mounted on the bottom surface of the lifting plate, a flipping plate being rotatably mounted on one side of the loading and unloading plate, vacuum suction cups being mounted on both sides of the flipping plate, a rotating opening being formed on the bottom surface of the loading and unloading plate, a rotating plate being rotatably mounted inside the rotating opening, a servo motor being mounted on one side of the loading and unloading plate, the output shaft of the servo motor passing through the loading and unloading plate and fixed to one side of the rotating plate, a positioning frame being fixed to one side of the rotating plate, and the flipping plate being slidably inserted into the positioning frame.

[0006] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided on one side of the flip plate, a positioning bolt is threaded onto the positioning frame, one end of the positioning bolt passes through the positioning frame and extends into the interior of the positioning groove, a number of short screws are fixed on the bottom surface of the lifting plate, the bottom end of the short screws passes through the top surface of the loading and unloading plate and extends into the loading and unloading port, and a nut is threaded onto one end of the short screw extending into the loading and unloading port.

[0007] Preferably, a support wall is provided below the second electric slide rail, a first electric slide rail is provided on the top surface of the support wall, a translation plate is slidably provided on the first electric slide rail, the top surface of the translation plate is fixedly installed with the second electric slide rail, and a blocking plate is fixed on one side of the second electric slide rail.

[0008] Preferably, a protective frame is fixed to one side of the supporting wall, an injection mold is slidably disposed on the inner bottom surface of the protective frame, a drive motor is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the protective frame, and a long screw is fixed to one end of the output shaft of the drive motor, the long screw being threadedly connected to the injection mold.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom surface of the injection mold is fixed with two limiting strips, and the inner bottom surface of the protective frame is provided with two limiting openings, and the limiting strips and limiting openings are slidably engaged.

[0010] Preferably, two positioning posts are fixed on one side of the injection mold, and two limiting grooves are opened on one side of the support wall, with the central axes of the positioning posts and the limiting grooves on the same main line.

[0011] Preferably, the protective frame has observation openings on three sides, and a transparent plate is installed inside each observation opening. Both the protective frame and the bottom surface of the supporting wall are fixed with two pads.

[0012] Preferably, two mounting plates are fixed on one side of the support wall, and a conveyor belt is provided between the two mounting plates.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the robotic arm for retrieving automotive air conditioning components, which adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following beneficial effects: 1. By using a horizontally moving sliding plate and a vertically moving lifting plate to bring the vacuum suction cup close to the surface of the parts, the parts can be removed and transferred using the vacuum suction cup, which reduces the consumption of human resources, production costs and safety risks. Second, the translation plate can slide horizontally on the first electric slide rail, and the sliding plate can slide horizontally on the second electric slide rail, so that the position of the flip plate can be adjusted to correspond with the position of the automotive air conditioning parts, ensuring that the vacuum suction cup and the surface of the parts can be tightly adhered and adsorbed, thus expanding the range of adaptability for picking up parts of different specifications. 3. When the motor is working, the rotating output shaft will drive the long screw to rotate synchronously. Utilizing the threaded connection between the long screw and the injection mold, the injection mold will slide inside the bottom surface of the protective frame. The limit strip will slide synchronously inside the limit port, which can drive the injection mold to move closer to or away from the injection port. When the injection mold and the injection port are in contact, the positioning pin will be inserted inside the limit groove to ensure the accuracy of the injection mold and the injection port during injection. 4. During the injection molding process of automotive air conditioning parts, the staff can observe the injection molding process of the internal automotive air conditioning parts through a transparent plate. During the injection process, the solution that falls into the limiting port will drip through the limiting port onto the bottom surface, preventing the solution from solidifying in the limiting port and hindering the sliding of the limiting strip. The removed parts will be carried by the robotic arm and placed on the conveyor belt, making it convenient for the staff to transfer the injection-molded automotive air conditioning parts.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a robotic arm for retrieving automotive air conditioning parts includes a sliding plate 1, which is slidably mounted on a second electric slide rail 15. The sliding plate 1 is characterized by having a lifting plate 2 slidably mounted on one side of the sliding plate 1, and a lifting electric slide rail 3 mounted on the other side of the sliding plate 1. The lifting plate 2 and the lifting electric slide rail 3 are slidably mounted together. A loading / unloading plate 4 is mounted on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 2. A flipping plate 6 is rotatably mounted on one side of the loading / unloading plate 4. Vacuum suction cups 7 are mounted on both sides of the flipping plate 6. A rotating opening 8 is formed on the bottom surface of the loading / unloading plate 4, and a rotating plate 9 is rotatably mounted inside the rotating opening 8. A servo motor 5 is mounted on one side of the loading / unloading plate 4. The output shaft passes through the loading and unloading plate 4 and is fixed to one side of the rotating plate 9. A positioning frame 10 is fixed to one side of the rotating plate 9. The flip plate 6 is slidably inserted into the positioning frame 10. The vacuum suction cup 7 is connected to the air pump's suction pipe through a hose. A positioning groove 11 is opened on one side of the flip plate 6. A positioning bolt 12 is threaded onto the positioning frame 10. One end of the positioning bolt 12 passes through the positioning frame 10 and extends into the interior of the positioning groove 11. Several short screws 31 are fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting plate 2. The bottom end of the short screws 31 passes through the top surface of the loading and unloading plate 4 and extends into the loading and unloading port 32. A nut is threaded onto one end of the short screws 31 that extends into the loading and unloading port 32.

[0023] During use, when removing the injection-molded automotive air conditioning parts, the sliding plate 1 slides on the second electric slide rail 15, causing the lifting plate 2 to approach the parts, which in turn causes the flipping plate 6 to stick to one side of the parts. At this time, the air in the vacuum suction cup 7 is extracted by the air pump, and the automotive air conditioning parts are firmly adsorbed on one side of the flipping plate 6. Before removing the parts, the staff will first remove the positioning bolts 12 on the positioning frame 10, and then push the flipping plate 6 to slide up and down inside the positioning frame 10 to adjust the height of the vacuum suction cup 7, so as to avoid the vacuum suction cup 7 being unable to contact the surface of the parts and increase the applicable range of the robotic arm when picking up parts. When the parts are removed, the output shaft of the servo motor 5 rotates during operation, which drives the rotating plate 9 to rotate 90 degrees and drives the flipping plate 6 to rotate 90 degrees synchronously. The horizontally moving sliding plate 1 and the vertically moving lifting plate 2 drive the vacuum suction cup 7 to approach the surface of the parts. The vacuum suction cup 7 is used to remove and transfer the parts, which reduces the consumption of human resources, production costs and safety risks.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a support wall 27 is provided below the second electric slide rail 15, and a first electric slide rail 13 is provided on the top surface of the support wall 27. A translation plate 14 is slidably provided on the first electric slide rail 13. The top surface of the translation plate 14 is fixedly installed with the second electric slide rail 15, and a blocking plate 16 is fixed on one side of the second electric slide rail 15.

[0025] In use, the translation plate 14 can slide horizontally on the first electric slide rail 13, and the sliding plate 1 can slide horizontally on the second electric slide rail 15, thereby adjusting the position of the flip plate 6 and aligning the flip plate 6 with the position of the automotive air conditioning parts, ensuring that the vacuum suction cup 7 and the surface of the parts can adhere tightly to each other, thus expanding the range of adaptability for picking up parts of different specifications.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a protective frame 17 is fixed to one side of the support wall 27. An injection mold 18 is slidably mounted on the inner bottom surface of the protective frame 17. A drive motor 19 is mounted on the inner bottom surface of the protective frame 17. A long screw 20 is fixed to one end of the output shaft of the drive motor 19. The long screw 20 is threadedly connected to the injection mold 18. Two limiting strips 22 are fixed to the bottom surface of the injection mold 18. Two limiting ports 21 are opened on the inner bottom surface of the protective frame 17. The limiting strips 22 and the limiting ports 21 are slidably engaged. Two positioning posts 23 are fixed to one side of the injection mold 18. Two limiting grooves 24 are opened on one side of the support wall 27. The central axes of the positioning posts 23 and the limiting grooves 24 are on the same main line.

[0027] During use, when the drive motor 19 is working, the rotating output shaft will drive the long screw 20 to rotate synchronously. Utilizing the threaded connection between the long screw 20 and the injection mold 18, the injection mold 18 will slide inside the bottom surface of the protective frame 17. The limiting strip 22 will slide synchronously inside the limiting port 21, which can drive the injection mold 18 to move closer to or away from the injection port. When the injection mold 18 and the injection port are in contact, the positioning post 23 will be inserted inside the limiting groove 24 to ensure the accuracy of the connection between the injection mold 18 and the injection port during injection.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, observation ports 25 are provided on three sides of the protective frame 17. A transparent plate 26 is provided inside the observation port 25. Two pads 30 are fixed on the bottom surface of both the protective frame 17 and the support wall 27. Two mounting folding plates 28 are fixed on one side of the support wall 27. A conveyor belt 29 is provided between the two mounting folding plates 28.

[0029] During use, when the automotive air conditioning parts are injection molded, the staff can observe the injection molding process of the internal automotive air conditioning parts through the transparent plate 26. During the injection process, the solution that falls into the limiting port 21 will pass through the limiting port 21 and drip onto the bottom surface, preventing the solution from solidifying in the limiting port 21 and hindering the sliding of the limiting strip 22. The removed parts will be carried by the robotic arm and placed on the conveyor belt 29, making it convenient for the staff to transfer the injection-molded automotive air conditioning parts.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
