Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass product technology, and in particular to a robotic arm for grasping glass products. Background Technology
[0002] Glass products are a general term for household and industrial products made primarily from glass. Glass is a relatively transparent solid that forms a continuous network structure when molten, and gradually increases in viscosity and hardens without crystallizing during cooling. During processing, glass products require the use of robotic arms for handling and transporting the glass.
[0003] Current gripping devices, when using robotic arms to grasp glass products, cannot grasp multiple glass products at the same time, which affects gripping efficiency. In addition, most current robotic arms are fixed inside the device, making them inconvenient to disassemble. If the robotic arm malfunctions, it is difficult to quickly disassemble and replace it. Moreover, current gripping devices can only move the robotic arm in one horizontal direction, which has certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

A connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the third slider via a connecting rod. A rack plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting block. Multiple mounting cylinders are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting plate. Each mounting cylinder has symmetrically symmetrically rotatably connected incomplete gears to its inner wall. A clamping half-ring is fixedly connected to the side wall of each incomplete gear. One end of the clamping half-ring extends through the through hole to the outside of the mounting cylinder.
[0006] Preferably, each groove is a cuboid structure, the third slider is a cuboid structure, the third slider abuts against the inner wall of the groove, the rack plate has symmetrical teeth on both side walls, each mounting cylinder is located in the same vertical direction as the groove, each incomplete gear is meshed with the rack plate, and each clamping half ring has an anti-slip sleeve at the end away from the incomplete gear.
[0007] Preferably, a first sliding groove is provided on the top wall of the inner chamber of the box. The first sliding groove has a cuboid structure. A first motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box. A first lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. One end of the first lead screw passes through the side wall of the box and is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the first sliding groove. A first slider is threadedly connected to the side wall of the first lead screw. The first slider has a cuboid structure and abuts against the inner wall of the first sliding groove.
[0008] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first slider. The fixing plate has a cuboid structure. A second sliding groove is opened at the bottom end of the fixing plate. A second motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate. A second lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. One end of the second lead screw passes through the side wall of the fixing plate and is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the second sliding groove. A second slider is threadedly connected to the side wall of the second lead screw. The second slider abuts against the inner wall of the second sliding groove.
[0009] Preferably, a hydraulic push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second slider, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of the hydraulic push rod. The connecting plate has symmetrical sliding holes.
[0010] Preferably, the sliding hole sidewall has a slot, the sliding hole sidewall has a rectangular groove, the rectangular groove sidewall has a pull rod that is slidably connected through it, and the pull rod is fixedly connected to a limit rod at one end of the rectangular groove sidewall.
[0011] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rectangular groove, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting rod.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The first motor rotates forward, driving the first lead screw to rotate, causing the first slider to move horizontally to the left. Conversely, the first motor rotates backward, driving the first lead screw to rotate, causing the first slider to move horizontally to the right, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the clamping half-ring. The second motor rotates forward, driving the second lead screw to rotate, causing the second slider to move the clamping half-ring forward. Conversely, the second motor rotates backward, driving the second lead screw to rotate, causing the second slider to move the clamping half-ring backward, thereby adjusting the horizontal and vertical position of the clamping half-ring. By adjusting the horizontal and vertical positions of the clamping half-ring, it is possible to grip glass products in various positions inside the box, improving the practicality of the device. 2. The third motor reverses, driving the third lead screw to rotate, which in turn causes the third slider to move the rack plate upward in the horizontal direction through the connecting rod. By utilizing the meshing of the rack plate and the incomplete gear, the two clamping half rings move closer to each other, thereby clamping the glass product. The bottom of the mounting plate is equipped with multiple sets of clamping half rings, which can clamp multiple glass products at once, improving the gripping efficiency. Then, the hydraulic push rod drives the clamping half rings to rise, thereby gripping the glass product. 3. Pull the two levers outward to compress the springs into the rectangular groove, causing the limiting rod to leave the slot and the insert rod, thus releasing the limiting effect on the insert rod and allowing for quick disassembly of the mounting plate. During installation, simply insert the insert rod into the sliding hole. After releasing the levers, the limiting rod will reset under the action of the spring, allowing it to pass through the insert rod and lock into the slot, limiting the insertion rod and facilitating quick replacement and installation.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0017] Reference Figures 1-5 A robotic arm for gripping glass products includes a housing 1 and a mounting plate 13. Multiple grooves 14 are formed on the inner wall of the mounting plate 13. A third motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top wall of each groove 14. The third motor 15 is a forward and reverse reversible motor. A third lead screw 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 15. A third slider 17 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the third lead screw 16. A connecting block 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the third slider 17 via a connecting rod. A rack plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting block 18. Multiple mounting cylinders 20 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting plate 13. Multiple sets of clamping semi-rings 23 are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 13, allowing for simultaneous gripping. This device holds multiple glass products, improving gripping efficiency. Each mounting cylinder 20 has symmetrical through holes 21 on its side wall. The inner wall of the mounting cylinder 20 is symmetrically connected to an incomplete gear 22. Each incomplete gear 22 has a clamping half-ring 23 fixedly connected to its side wall. One end of the clamping half-ring 23 passes through the through hole 21 and extends to the outside of the mounting cylinder 20. The third motor 15 reverses, driving the third lead screw 16 to rotate, thereby causing the third slider 17 to drive the rack plate 19 to move upward in the horizontal direction through the connecting rod. By utilizing the meshing action between the rack plate 19 and the incomplete gear 22, the two clamping half-rings 23 move closer to each other, thereby clamping the glass products.
[0018] The third slider 17 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 14 to prevent the third slider 17 from rotating during movement. The two side walls of the rack plate 19 are symmetrically provided with teeth. Each mounting cylinder 20 is located in the same vertical direction as the groove 14. Each incomplete gear 22 is meshed with the rack plate 19. Each clamping half ring 23 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve at the end away from the incomplete gear 22 to increase the friction between the clamping half ring 23 and the glass product and prevent the glass product from falling and causing damage.
[0019] The top inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 2. A first motor 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 1. A first lead screw 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 3. One end of the first lead screw 4 passes through the side wall of the housing 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the first sliding groove 2. A first slider 5 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the first lead screw 4. When the first motor 3 rotates forward, it drives the first lead screw 4 to rotate, causing the first slider 5 to move to the left in the horizontal direction. Conversely, when the first motor 3 rotates backward, it drives the first lead screw 4 to rotate, causing the first slider 5 to move to the right in the horizontal direction. This drives the clamping half ring 23 to adjust its horizontal position. The first slider 5 abuts against the inner wall of the first sliding groove 2, preventing the first slider 5 from rotating during movement.
[0020] A fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first slider 5. A second slide groove 7 is opened at the bottom end of the fixed plate 6. A second motor 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 6. The second motor 8 is a forward and reverse motor. A second lead screw 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 8. One end of the second lead screw 9 passes through the side wall of the fixed plate 6 and is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the second slide groove 7. A second slider 10 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the second lead screw 9. The second motor 8 drives the second lead screw 9 to rotate in the forward direction, so that the second slider 10 drives the clamping half ring 23 to move forward. Conversely, the second motor 8 drives the second lead screw 9 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the second slider 10 drives the clamping half ring 23 to move backward, thereby adjusting the horizontal and longitudinal position of the clamping half ring 23. The second slider 10 abuts against the inner wall of the second slide groove 7 to prevent the second slider 10 from rotating during movement.
[0021] The bottom end of the second slider 10 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic push rod 11, which drives the clamping half ring 23 to rise and fall. The movable end of the hydraulic push rod 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 12, and the connecting plate 12 has symmetrical sliding holes 25.
[0022] The sliding hole 25 has a slot 26 on its side wall and a rectangular groove 27 on its side wall. A pull rod 28 is slidably connected through the side wall of the rectangular groove 27. A limit rod 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 28 on its side wall. Pulling the two pull rods 28 outward causes the pull rod 28 to compress the spring 30 into the rectangular groove 27, causing the limit rod 29 to leave the slot 26 and the insertion rod 24, releasing the limit on the insertion rod 24, thereby allowing the mounting plate 13 to be quickly disassembled.
[0023] A spring 30 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rectangular groove 27, and one end of the spring 30 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting rod 29. A plug rod 24 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 13. One end of each plug rod 24 is slidably connected through the sliding hole 25. One end of the limiting rod 29 passes through the side wall of the plug rod 24 and is inserted into the slot 26. After the pull rod 28 is released, the limiting rod 29 is reset under the action of the spring 30, thereby allowing the limiting rod 29 to pass through the plug rod 24 and be locked inside the slot 26, limiting the insertion of the plug rod 24, thus enabling quick replacement and installation.
[0024] In this invention, when it is necessary to grip glass products, the first motor 3 is activated. The first motor 3 is a forward and reverse reversible motor. The forward rotation of the first motor 3 drives the first lead screw 4 to rotate, causing the first slider 5 to move horizontally to the left. Conversely, the reverse rotation of the first motor 3 drives the first lead screw 4 to rotate, causing the first slider 5 to move horizontally to the right, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the clamping half-ring 23. In addition, the second motor 8 is activated. The forward rotation of the second motor 8 drives the second lead screw 9 to rotate, causing the second slider 10 to move the clamping half-ring 23 forward. Conversely, the reverse rotation of the second motor 8 drives the second lead screw 9 to rotate, causing the second slider 10 to move the clamping half-ring 23 backward, thereby adjusting the horizontal and vertical position of the clamping half-ring 23. By adjusting the horizontal and vertical positions of the clamping half-ring 23, the clamping half-ring 23 can grip glass products in various positions inside the box 1, improving the practicality of the device. After adjusting the position of the clamping half-ring 23, the hydraulic push rod 11 is activated, which lowers the clamping half-ring 23. Then, the third motor 15 is activated. The third motor 15 is a forward and reverse motor. By reversing the third motor 15, the third lead screw 16 is rotated, which causes the third slider 17 to move the rack plate 19 upward in the horizontal direction through the connecting rod. The meshing action of the rack plate 19 and the incomplete gear 22 brings the two clamping half-rings 23 closer together, thereby clamping the glass product. The bottom of the mounting plate 13 has multiple sets of clamping half-rings 23, which can clamp multiple glass products at once, improving the gripping efficiency. Then, the hydraulic push rod 11 drives the clamping half-rings 23 to rise, thereby gripping the glass product. The end of the clamping half-ring 23 away from the incomplete gear 22 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip sleeve to increase the friction between the clamping half-ring 23 and the glass product, preventing the glass product from falling and being damaged. If the clamping half-ring 23 malfunctions, it needs to be disassembled and replaced. Pull the two pull rods 28 outward to compress the spring 30 into the rectangular groove 27, causing the limiting rod 29 to leave the slot 26 and the insertion rod 24, thus releasing the limitation on the insertion rod 24 and allowing the mounting plate 13 to be quickly disassembled. During installation, simply insert the insertion rod 24 into the sliding hole 25. After releasing the pull rod 28, the limiting rod 29 will reset under the action of the spring 30, so that the limiting rod 29 passes through the insertion rod 24 and is locked in the slot 26, limiting the insertion rod 24 and allowing for quick replacement and installation.
