Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manipulators, in particular to a non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking manipulator. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of plate-shaped products, a common problem is that when the products are completed, if they are allowed to fall freely, they are easy to scratch each other, which not only seriously affects the appearance quality of the products, but also may cause damage to the product functions, thereby increasing the defective rate.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, many companies have chosen manual material sorting, that is, manually sorting, stacking and placing the products. However, manual material sorting is not only inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production, but also long-term manual operation can easily lead to worker fatigue, which in turn affects the quality of product sorting.

[0004] With the continuous development of automation technology, robots are increasingly used in production lines to replace manual labor to complete various operations.

[0005] In the production process of plate-shaped products, although some companies have tried to use robots for material discharging operations, the existing robot design solutions still have some shortcomings. For example, external robots usually need to wait until the product is completely out of the production equipment before they can take the material, which to a certain extent limits the improvement of production efficiency.

[0006] In addition, the structural design of the existing manipulator has relatively poor mobility, which is not conducive to adjusting the position or replacing parts to cooperate with different equipment, and is not conducive to achieving multiple uses of one machine.

[0007] Therefore, how to design a robot that can pick up and place plate-shaped products at high speed and stably and can adapt to different production environments and product characteristics has become a technical problem to be solved by the present utility model. Utility Model Content

[0008] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking robot for the defects existing in the above-mentioned prior art, so as to solve the problem of how to improve production efficiency and product quality and reduce the defective product rate raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the utility model are as follows:

[0010] A non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking manipulator, comprising a mounting support frame, an up-and-down sliding mechanism, a lateral sliding mechanism, a bracket, a fixture mounting plate and a fixture;

[0011] An up-and-down sliding mechanism is arranged on the mounting support frame, and a lateral sliding mechanism is arranged on the up-and-down sliding mechanism;

[0012] The lateral sliding mechanism includes a walking pulley;

[0013] The bracket includes a rear portion and a front portion;

[0014] The rear part of the bracket is fixedly connected to the walking pulley;

[0015] The front part of the bracket is fixedly connected to the fixture mounting plate;

[0016] A jig is fixedly arranged on the jig mounting plate.

[0017] As a further solution of the utility model, the bracket is a triangular bracket or a trapezoidal bracket.

[0018] As a further solution of the utility model, the non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking robot also includes a conveyor belt, which is located below the fixture.

[0019] As a further solution of the utility model, a non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking robot is arranged at the discharge port of the product processing equipment.

[0020] As a further solution of the utility model, the lateral sliding of the lateral sliding mechanism enables the fixture to include a first position located above the conveyor belt and a second position located in the discharge port of the product processing equipment.

[0021] As a further solution of the utility model, the non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking robot also includes a reinforced support frame, and the up and down sliding mechanism is fixedly arranged on the mounting support frame through the reinforced support frame.

[0022] As a further solution of the utility model, the non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking robot also includes running wheels and supporting columns, and the four corners of the bottom of the mounting support frame are respectively provided with running wheels and supporting columns.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0024] 1. The manipulator forms a "semi-penetrating" structure through the bracket. This design enables the manipulator to carry out material picking operations in advance before the product is completely out of the production equipment. This improvement not only greatly shortens the waiting time, but also effectively improves production efficiency. Compared with the "completely external" method of traditional manipulators, this manipulator is more compact and efficient in the material picking process.

[0025] 2. The "semi-penetrating" structure also gives the manipulator greater flexibility and adaptability. Since the manipulator can intervene in the material collection process in advance, it can better adapt to the material discharging rhythm and method of different production equipment, thereby reducing production interruptions or adjustment time caused by equipment differences. This flexibility is particularly important for the diversified and small-batch production mode on modern production lines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] See also Figure 1—3, in the embodiment of the utility model, a non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking manipulator includes a mounting support frame 1, an up-and-down sliding mechanism 2, a lateral sliding mechanism 3, a bracket 4, a fixture mounting plate 5 and a fixture 6. These components cooperate with each other to enable the manipulator to perform pick-and-place tasks quickly and accurately.

[0035] The bracket 4 is a triangular bracket or a trapezoidal bracket, so as to facilitate access to the discharge port 12; the mounting support frame 1 is provided with an up-and-down sliding mechanism 2, which enables the manipulator to move in the vertical direction. The up-and-down sliding mechanism 2 is provided with a transverse sliding mechanism 3, which further enhances the flexibility of the manipulator, allowing it to move freely in the horizontal direction. Through the sliding of the two-axis slide rail, this not only greatly enhances the flexibility of the manipulator, but also enables it to move freely in the horizontal and vertical directions. Through the precise matching of the two-axis slide rail sliding, the operating structure of the manipulator shows excellent stability.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the manipulator realizes its sliding and stopping functions through the precise coordination and control of the slide rail and the pulley. This combination of slide rails and pulleys ensures that the manipulator can move to the desired position accurately and stably with its high precision and reliability. This technology for achieving precise sliding and positioning has been widely recognized and applied in the field and belongs to the existing technology category well known to ordinary technicians.

[0037] The lateral sliding mechanism 3 includes a walking pulley 7, which is a key component for achieving lateral movement. The design of the walking pulley 7 ensures the stability and accuracy of the manipulator during lateral movement, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the pick-and-place operation.

[0038] The bracket 4 is an important supporting structure in the manipulator, and it includes a first long side corner 8 and a second long side corner 9. This design not only improves the overall stability of the manipulator, but also makes the manipulator Figure 1 After the connection, a structure is formed that facilitates exploration into the discharge port 12 of the product processing equipment 11 .

[0039] A jig 6 is fixedly mounted on the jig mounting plate 5, and the jig 6 is a component that directly contacts the product. The design of the jig 6 is customized according to the shape and characteristics of the product to ensure that the product can be stably adsorbed during the pick-up and placement process to avoid damage and falling of the product. At the same time, the principle of adsorption and the magnitude of the adsorption force are known to ordinary technicians in the field, and they are all parts that can be selectively set according to needs.

[0040] The support 4 is designed in the shape of an isosceles right triangle. This structural form enables the manipulator to maintain compactness while also having high rigidity and stability.

[0041] Since the utility model adopts a "probe-type" structure, the force problem of the manipulator needs to be specially considered during design. In order to ensure the stability and service life of the manipulator, the product should be a relatively light plate-shaped product. This design consideration is mainly to avoid the need to adopt a support connection structure that is too hard and too costly due to excessive weight.

[0042] In practical applications, ordinary technicians in this field can select a suitable supporting connection structure according to the specific product weight and the structural characteristics of the manipulator to ensure the stability and economy of the manipulator. This selection and optimization process belongs to an extended implementation method known to ordinary technicians in this field.

[0043] The strength and stability of the connection are also important factors to be considered when designing a manipulator. In the design of the connection part, the utility model adopts the connection method and structure well known to ordinary technicians in the field to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection. The specific selection and optimization of these connection methods and structures also belong to the extended implementation methods known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0044] The non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking manipulator also includes a conveyor belt 10, which is located below the fixture 6 and can be used to store the products taken out from the discharge port 12 of the product processing equipment 11, and can be further transported. In addition, due to the existence of the upper and lower sliding mechanism 2, when the conveying plane of the conveyor belt 10 is lower than a certain horizontal height of the discharge port 2, the upper and lower sliding mechanism 2 can also be used to move up and down, so that the products can be stacked, but it should be noted that the highest horizontal height of this stack should not be higher than the horizontal height of the discharge port 12 to avoid this stacking affecting the manipulator's exploration into the discharge port 12, which are all extended implementation methods known to ordinary technicians in this field. In addition, the design of the conveyor belt 10 enables the manipulator to achieve continuous operation when picking up and placing products 16, thereby improving production efficiency. At the same time, the conveyor belt 10 can also transport the product to a specified location, which is convenient for processing and handling in subsequent processes.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the cooperation between the non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking manipulator and the conveyor belt of the utility model realizes the automatic stacking and efficient conveying of products. Through the precise pick-and-place operation of the manipulator, the products are neatly stacked on the conveyor belt, avoiding the confusion and damage that may occur during the manual material sorting process. This not only greatly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs, but also significantly improves the product yield rate. The conveyor belt continuously and stably transports the stacked products to the unloading end, which is convenient for manual collection and processing, and further optimizes the production process.

[0046] The manipulator also cooperates with the product processing equipment 11, and the product processing equipment 11 includes a discharge port 12. In this way, when the product 16 is processed, the fixture 6 on the manipulator can penetrate into the discharge port 12 to absorb the product, and through the cooperation of the up and down sliding mechanism 2 and the horizontal sliding mechanism 3 of the mounting support frame 1, the product 16 at the discharge port 12 of the product processing equipment 11 is adsorbed and placed on the conveyor belt 10, so that the product can be taken out from the discharge port 12 in time, which not only improves the production efficiency, but also reduces the cost and error of manual operation.

[0047] The lateral sliding of the lateral sliding mechanism 3 enables the jig 6 to flexibly switch between two positions: a first position located above the conveyor belt 10 and a second position located in the discharge port 12 of the product processing equipment 11. When the jig 6 is in the first position, it can place the product 16 on the conveyor belt 10; and when the jig 6 is in the second position, it can be lowered by the up-down sliding mechanism 2 to contact and adsorb the product 16, and then raised by the up-down sliding mechanism 2, and the jig 6 is moved to the top of the conveyor belt 10 with the product 16 by the lateral sliding mechanism 3, so as to take out the product from the discharge port 12 of the product processing equipment 11.

[0048] In order to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the manipulator, the non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking manipulator further includes a reinforcing support frame 15. The reinforcing support frame 15 firmly fixes the up-and-down sliding mechanism 2 on the mounting support frame 1, effectively preventing the manipulator from shaking and deflecting when moving at high speed. This not only improves the pick-and-place accuracy of the manipulator, but also prolongs its service life.

[0049] The non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking manipulator is also equipped with a running wheel 13 and a support column 14. The running wheel 13 enables the manipulator to be easily moved when needed, while the support column 14 provides a stable support for the manipulator. The running wheels 13 and the support columns 14 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting support frame 1, which not only ensures the smooth operation of the manipulator, but also facilitates the installation and maintenance of the manipulator.

[0050] The non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking manipulator of the utility model has achieved a significant improvement in the material taking efficiency by adopting a unique "semi-penetrating" structural design. This innovative design is mainly applied to the discharge port 12 with a certain discharge area, so that the manipulator can take the material in advance before the product is completely discharged from the discharge port.

[0051] In order to achieve this function, a conveying method known to ordinary technicians in the field needs to be used inside the discharge port 12 to stably and accurately convey the product to the discharge port. This conveying method can ensure that the position and posture of the product during the discharge process meet the requirements of the manipulator to pick up the material, thereby achieving efficient and accurate material picking operations.

[0052] As for the specific product processing equipment 11, its type and structure are not limited by the present invention. In fact, the manipulator of the present invention can be used in conjunction with various types of product processing equipment, as long as the discharge ports of these equipment meet the above requirements. For example, the product processing equipment 11 can be a blister machine, and the plate-shaped product 16 formed by the blister machine is located at its discharge port.

[0053] The non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking manipulator of the utility model realizes a significant improvement in material taking efficiency through a "semi-penetrating" structural design. At the same time, its application objects are mainly discharge ports with a certain discharge area, as well as the conveying methods and product processing equipment matched therewith. These are all extended implementation methods known to ordinary technicians in this field.

[0054] Since the utility model adopts a "semi-penetrating" structure, its application objects are mainly a discharge port 12 with a certain discharge area, and the inside of the discharge port can be transported to the processing port by a method known to ordinary technicians in the field, so as to cooperate with the "semi-penetrating" material collection of the robot arm of the utility model. For example, what the product processing equipment 11 can be, all belong to the extended implementation methods known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0055] Embodiment 1:

[0056] This embodiment provides a specific application of a non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking robot to demonstrate its technical principles and how to solve the technical problems described in the background technology.

[0057] On the production line, after the plate-like product is processed by the product processing equipment 11, it needs to be taken out from the discharge port 12 and placed in a suitable position to avoid scratching each other. The non-standard high-speed two-axis side-taking robot in this embodiment is installed on one side of the product processing equipment 11 to automatically and efficiently complete this task.

[0058] Specifically, the mounting support frame 1 of the manipulator is firmly mounted on the ground, and is provided with an up-and-down sliding mechanism 2 and a lateral sliding mechanism 3. The up-and-down sliding mechanism 2 enables the fixture mounting plate 5 to move up and down in the vertical direction, while the lateral sliding mechanism 3 enables the fixture mounting plate 5 to move left and right in the horizontal direction through the walking pulley 7.

[0059] A jig 6 is fixedly arranged on the jig mounting plate 5. The jig 6 has an adsorption function and can stably adsorb the plate-shaped product. The first long side corner 8 of the bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the walking pulley 7, and the second long side corner 9 is fixedly connected to the jig mounting plate 5. The isosceles right triangle structural design ensures the stability of the jig 6 during the up and down sliding and lateral sliding process.

[0060] The fixture mounting plate 5 mentioned in the above description is fixed with a fixture 6 having an adsorption function, and the application of this adsorption function belongs to the scope of the prior art. Specifically, the structure and principle of adsorption and how to achieve a stable adsorption effect are all technologies that are well known and can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field.

[0061] The fixture 6 can stably adsorb the plate-shaped product through the adsorption function, which is based on the maturity and reliability of the adsorption technology itself. In practical applications, the stability and effect of adsorption will be affected by many factors, such as the material of the adsorption surface, the magnitude of the adsorption force, and the adsorption environment. However, these factors are conventional factors that technicians in this field will consider and control when designing and implementing adsorption solutions.

[0062] During the operation of the manipulator, when it needs to pick up materials, the lateral sliding mechanism 3 drives the walking pulley 7 to drive the fixture mounting plate 5 and the fixture 6 to slide horizontally, so that the fixture 6 moves from the first position to the second position. In the second position, the fixture 6 partially penetrates into the discharge port 12 of the product processing equipment 11. Then, the up-down sliding mechanism 2 drives the fixture mounting plate 5 and the fixture 6 to move downward, so that the fixture 6 contacts the product at the discharge port 12, and stably adsorbs the product through the adsorption function.

[0063] Next, the up-down sliding mechanism 2 drives the jig mounting plate 5 and the jig 6 to move upward, and at the same time, the lateral sliding mechanism 3 drives the walking pulley 7 to drive the jig mounting plate 5 and the jig 6 to slide horizontally, so that the jig 6 returns from the second position to the first position. In the first position, the jig 6 is located above the conveyor belt 10. At this time, the up-down sliding mechanism 2 drives the jig mounting plate 5 and the jig 6 to move downward, placing the product on the conveyor belt 10.

[0064] In this way, the non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking manipulator in this embodiment can complete the pick-up and placement operations of plate-shaped products at a high speed and stably, avoiding mutual scratching between products and improving product quality. At the same time, its flexible structural design enables the manipulator to adapt to the needs of different production environments and product characteristics. At the same time, since the size of the fixture can be replaced as needed, it is conducive to matching different product processing equipment 11, making it easy to achieve multiple uses of one machine.

[0065] In addition, the manipulator in this embodiment further includes components such as a reinforced support frame 15, a running wheel 13 and a supporting column 14, which further enhance the stability and mobility of the manipulator. The reinforced support frame 15 is used to fix the up and down sliding mechanism 2 on the mounting support frame 1, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the manipulator; the running wheel 13 and the supporting column 14 enable the manipulator to be easily moved and positioned.

[0066] Compared with the traditional external robot design, the non-standard high-speed two-axis side-picking robot provided in this application has achieved significant optimization and innovation in structure and function.

[0067] First, the manipulator forms a "semi-insertable" structure through the bracket. This design enables the manipulator to carry out material picking operations in advance before the product is completely out of the production equipment. This improvement not only greatly shortens the waiting time, but also effectively improves production efficiency. Compared with the "completely external" method of traditional manipulators, this manipulator is more compact and efficient in the material picking process.

[0068] Secondly, the "semi-penetrating" structure also gives the robot greater flexibility and adaptability. Since the robot can intervene in the material collection process in advance, it can better adapt to the material discharging rhythm and method of different production equipment, thereby reducing production interruptions or adjustment time caused by equipment differences. This flexibility is particularly important for the diversified and small-batch production mode on modern production lines.

[0069] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms such as "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixation" and "screw-on" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly defined, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0070] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
