Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotic arm technology, and specifically proposes a roller surface machining and clamping robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] Functional rollers are a type of roller designed to perform specific technological functions. They generally consist of a metal roller shaft and functional layers processed and attached to the surface of the metal roller shaft. Functional layers include soft coatings, hard and brittle coatings, and precision coatings. Soft coatings mainly include copper layers, rubber layers, foam layers, and polymer coatings, while hard and brittle coatings mainly include chromium layers and ceramic coatings. Precision coatings mainly include engraving and printing layers. The processing of functional rollers is mainly divided into roller shaft blank processing and functional layer processing. During the processing, it is necessary to clamp and grasp the roller shaft. This invention provides a roller shaft surface processing clamping robot, mainly for clamping and grasping large functional rollers with a large length-to-diameter ratio at different processing stages, and is especially suitable for processing and clamping small batches of different types of functional rollers.

[0003] To achieve specific process functions, in the current technology, in order to avoid damage, indentation, deformation or scratches to the functional layer, flexible clamping structures or clamping structures with adjustable stiffness are often used to clamp and grasp the functional rollers. However, the following problems still exist.

[0004] 1. The existing clamping structure is basically a single clamping end; the same clamping robot is used for clamping in the roller blank processing stage and the functional layer processing stage. However, the surface of the roller blank may have impurities such as oil, dust and rust particles. The clamping end is easily contaminated by the surface of the roller blank, which may cause potential damage to the clamping of the functional layer.

[0005] 2. Existing flexible clamping structures only focus on making flexible contact with the functional layer at the clamping end. In addition, clamping structures with adjustable stiffness, such as airbags and soft grippers, are only suitable for grasping small or irregular objects. They cannot provide continuous and uniform axial support for large functional rollers with large length-to-diameter ratios. They are more prone to bending deformation due to the weight of the functional rollers themselves and their large deflection. Furthermore, they are prone to uneven clamping pressure distribution and local stress concentration in the clamping section of the functional layer, which can damage the functional layer.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a roller shaft 7 surface processing clamping robot (hereinafter referred to as the robot) includes a beam frame 1 and four gripper assemblies 2 mounted on the beam frame 1. The beam frame 1 includes a beam 11 and two horizontally sliding frames 12 mounted on the beam 11. The four gripper assemblies 2 are divided into two groups and correspondingly mounted on the two sliding frames 12, and the two groups of gripper assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged relative to each other in the sliding direction of the sliding frames 12. The two gripper assemblies 2 on the same sliding frame 12 are symmetrically arranged relative to each other in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding frame 12, and are used to jointly clamp the roller shaft 7.

[0033] The robotic arm provided by this invention is mainly used for gripping and grasping large functional rollers with a large length-to-diameter ratio. It can also be used as a shared robotic arm in processing areas for multi-process machining of the roller shaft 7 surface, cooperating with multiple processing stations for rapid gripping and placement, thus significantly improving the efficiency of the robotic arm. In this embodiment, the robotic arm can be fixed to the lifting end of a crane capable of horizontal and vertical movement via a lifting beam 11. The relative span of the two sets of gripper assemblies 2 can be adjusted by the relative movement of the two sliding frames 12 to accommodate gripping roller shafts 7 of different lengths. Using two sets of gripper assemblies 2 to grip the portions near both ends of the roller shaft 7 avoids bending and deformation at both ends caused by gripping the middle of the roller shaft 7 with a large length-to-diameter ratio, and enhances the stability and safety of gripping. Furthermore, two cylinders (not shown in the figure) can be horizontally mounted on the lifting beam 11, and the two sliding frames 12 can be correspondingly fixed to the output ends of the two cylinders.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the gripper assembly 2 includes a sliding base 3 horizontally slidably mounted on a sliding frame 12, with the sliding base 3 and the sliding frame 12 arranged perpendicularly to each other in their sliding directions. Two cylinders (not shown in the figure) are fixedly mounted on the sliding frame 12 via fixed seats. The output ends of the two cylinders are fixedly connected to the sliding bases 3 in the two gripper assemblies 2 mounted on the same sliding frame 12 via bolts. A gripper frame 4 is mounted on the sliding base 3. The gripper frame 4 includes a base frame 42, which consists of two side guide plates 421 arranged horizontally opposite to each other and two sliding groove plates 422. The two sliding groove plates 422 are fixed between the two side guide plates 421 by bolts and assembled into a rectangular frame structure. The sliding groove plates 422 have a groove along the sliding frame 12. 2. A sliding groove extending in the sliding direction; a rotating arm 41 is fixed to the outer wall of one of the side guide plates 421 by bolts, and the rotating arm 41 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the sliding base 3; the base frame 42 is equipped with a rigid clamping part 5 and a flexible clamping part 6 for clamping the roller shaft 7; the rigid clamping part 5 mainly clamps and contacts the roller shaft 7 on the surface of the blank layer, while the flexible clamping part 6 mainly clamps and contacts the roller shaft 7 on the surface of the functional layer; in this embodiment, an existing stepper motor with a brake self-locking function is also fixed on the sliding base 3 by a motor fixing seat, and the output shaft of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating arm 41. The stepper motor drives the gripper frame 4 to rotate 180 degrees, and the positions of the rigid clamping part 5 and the flexible clamping part 6 can be switched.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rigid clamping part 5 includes a clamping plate base 51 fixed to the outer wall of two sliding plates 422 by bolts. A rigid clamping plate 52 is fixed to the clamping plate base 51 by bolts. An isosceles trapezoidal slot is formed on the rigid clamping plate 52 to clamp and contact the roller shaft 7. When the rigid clamping part 5 is switched to the clamping state, the slots of the rigid clamping plates 52 in the two jaw assemblies 2 on the same sliding base 3 are facing each other.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the flexible clamping part 6 includes a flexible clamping plate 61 and an adjusting assembly 62 for adjusting the support stiffness of the flexible clamping plate 61; the flexible clamping plate 61 includes elastic springs 611 welded to the inner walls of two side guide plates 421 at both ends along its length; a connecting plate 612 and a flexible pad 613 are tightly installed on one side of the elastic springs 611; the connecting plate 612 is fixed to the elastic springs 611 and the side guide plates 421 connected to the rotating arm 41 by bolts. The pad 613 is made of rubber and is glued and fixed to the elastic spring 611; the elastic spring 611 is a thin sheet of spring steel, and the long sides of the elastic spring 611 have partial edge contact with the connecting plate 612 and the flexible pad 613 to improve the stability and integrity of the assembly of the connecting plate 612 and the flexible pad 613 on the elastic spring 611; the flexible pad 613 is used to clamp and contact the roller 7, and the clamping surface of the flexible pad 613 is an arc-shaped concave surface.

[0037] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the adjustment assembly 62 includes multiple support sliders 64. The long sides of the elastic spring 611 are provided with guide rails extending along its length. The side of the elastic spring 611 facing away from the flexible pad 613 is the back end, and the guide rails are located at the back end of the elastic spring 611. Multiple support sliders 64 are slidably mounted between the two guide rails. Multiple support sliders 64 are also slidably mounted between the grooves of the two slide plates 422. Each support slider 64 is in support contact with the back end of the elastic spring 611. An adjustment beam 63 is slidably mounted between the two side guide plates 421. The adjustment beam 63 extends vertically... The spring 611 slides along its back end face. Two parallel guide strips 632 are embedded and fixed on the adjusting beam 63. Each guide strip 632 has a guide hole extending along its length. The support slider 64 furthest from the connecting plate 612 is fixed to the adjacent side guide plate 421 by screws. A hinge pin 66 is arranged between each pair of adjacent support sliders 64. Two connecting rods 65 are hinged to each hinge pin 66, and the two connecting rods 65 are correspondingly hinged to the two adjacent support sliders 64. All hinge pins 66 slide at both ends along the guide holes of the two guide strips 632. Two connecting blocks 631, L-shaped and correspondingly adjacent to the two side guide plates 421, are fixed to the adjusting beam 63 by bolts. Adjusting cylinders 67 are fixed to the outer walls of both side guide plates 421 by bolts, and the output end of each adjusting cylinder 67 is fixedly connected to the adjacent connecting block 631 by bolts.

[0038] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the flexible clamping part 6 mainly clamps the functional layer surface of the functional roller shaft 7; multiple support sliders 64 provide rigid support for the flexible clamping plate 61. Each support slider 64 is a single rigid support point. Although the overall support is discrete, the number of support sliders 64 can be reasonably increased to reduce the discreteness. At the same time, the flexible clamping plate 61 uses a whole piece of elastic spring sheet 611 as the inner skeleton of the flexible pad 613, which enhances the uniformity of the distribution of the support force of multiple support sliders 64 after being indirectly transmitted to the flexible pad 613 through the elastic spring sheet 611, further reducing the discreteness. In addition, the flexible pad 613 with the arc concave surface clamps and contacts the roller shaft 7, forming a surface contact, which also improves the uniformity of pressure distribution. In actual use, it can be approximated that the support stiffness acting on the flexible pad 613 is uniformly distributed along the distribution direction of the support sliders 64, so the defect of stress concentration in the clamping of the functional layer caused by discrete point support can be ignored. In this embodiment, the support area of ​​the multiple support sliders 64 covers the connection section between the flexible pad 613 and the elastic spring 611, and extends to the connection section between the connecting plate 612 and the elastic spring 611. This ensures that the support stiffness of the connection section between the flexible pad 613 and the elastic spring 611 remains uniformly distributed. When gripping a functional roller with a large length-to-diameter ratio, it can provide continuous and uniform support in the axial direction of the roller shaft 7. Combined with the gripping method of the two sets of gripper assemblies 2 close to both ends of the roller shaft 7, it can suppress the bending deformation of the roller shaft 7 due to its own weight and large deflection, improve the uniformity of the gripping pressure distribution, avoid local pressure concentration, and better protect the functional layer. In addition, the connecting plate 612 compensates for the problem of insufficient support strength in the connection section with the elastic spring 611 due to the partial support of the support sliders 64.

[0039] When processing the same batch of functional rollers, the support stiffness of the flexible clamping plate 61 is pre-adjusted according to the surface hardness and precision requirements of the functional layer. During adjustment, two adjusting cylinders 67 are activated, and the adjusting beam 63 is slid through the connecting block 631. Then, the adjusting beam 63 pushes all the hinge pins 66 through the guide hole strip 632. The hinge pins 66 slide along the guide hole and further drive the non-fixed support sliders 64 to slide evenly with one of the fixed sliders as a reference through the connecting rod 65. The support stiffness actually acting on the flexible pad 613 is adjusted by adjusting the support density of multiple support sliders 64 on the elastic spring 611. After debugging, the standard is that no indentation or other damage occurs after the flexible pad 613 comes into contact with the functional layer. The clamping mode suitable for clamping the functional layer is set, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 The diagram shows the state of the flexible clamping part 6 under different support stiffnesses. It should be added that the robot's teach pendant can preset multiple clamping modes, each clamping mode for a different functional layer, facilitating rapid switching between multiple modes during processing.

[0040] The processing of the functional roller shaft 7 is roughly divided into two stages: first, the roller shaft 7 blank is processed, and then the functional layer is processed. It should be noted that in the functional layer processing stage, depending on the processing technology of different functional roller shaft 7 surfaces, the functional layer may be divided into multiple coating surface processing processes.

[0041] When processing the roller shaft 7 blank, it can be gripped and held by the rigid clamping part 5. Specifically, by rotating the rotating arm 41, the rigid clamping part 5 is rotated to the clamping state. During gripping, on the same sliding frame 12, the two sliding bases 3 slide towards each other, so that the roller shaft 7 is clamped in the slots of the two sets of rigid clamping plates 52. Then, the crane drives the robot arm to grip and move, completing the gripping and releasing of the roller shaft 7 blank during the processing stage. The clamping state is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0042] During functional layer processing, the roller shaft 7 can be gripped and held using the flexible clamping part 6. Specifically, the flexible clamping part 6 is rotated to the clamping position by rotating the rotating arm 41. During gripping, the two sliding bases 3 slide towards each other on the same sliding frame 12, so that the roller shaft 7 is clamped between the flexible pads 613 of the two sets of flexible clamping plates 61. Then, the crane drives the robot arm to grip and move, completing the gripping and releasing of the roller shaft 7 in the functional layer processing stage. The clamping state is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0043] In the blank processing stage of roller 7, rigid clamping part 5 is used for clamping. On the one hand, the rigid clamping part 5 makes the clamping operation more convenient and stable through rigid clamping. On the other hand, the rigid clamping part 5 and the flexible clamping part 6 are used for clamping in the two major processing stages of roller 7 respectively. The division of labor avoids mixing and is conducive to the protection of the functional layer.
