[0001] This utility model relates to the field of claw disc technology, specifically a ring-shaped centering claw disc. Background Technology
[0002] A centering jaw disc is a device for gripping parts, making it convenient for handling parts.
[0003] A centering gripper typically consists of a housing, a motor, a transmission assembly, and grippers. When centering and gripping a ring-shaped part, the motor usually drives the grippers to move through the transmission assembly, so that the grippers clamp and limit the part. Then, the gripper moves the part to transport it.
[0004] Traditional centering jaw disks typically use two side grippers to grasp ring-shaped parts, resulting in poor gripping stability. Furthermore, when dealing with irregular ring-shaped parts, it is inconvenient to automatically adjust to their shape, making it difficult for the centering jaw disk to grasp irregular ring-shaped parts. To address these issues, the inventors proposed a ring-shaped part centering jaw disk. Utility Model Content

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when gripping irregular ring parts, the robotic arm first moves the connecting arm 1 and the outer shell 2 to the upper side of the irregular ring part, so that the lower side of the outer shell 2 fits against the upper side of the irregular ring part. Then, the power unit is activated, and the power unit drives the adjustment unit to operate through the transmission unit. With the assistance of the limiting unit and the rolling unit, the adjustment unit drives the positioning unit to approach the irregular ring part. When the outer side of the positioning unit fits against the irregular ring part, the irregular ring part squeezes the positioning unit. After the positioning unit limits the irregular ring part, the power unit is turned off. Then, the robotic arm moves the connecting arm 1 and the outer shell 2, so that the connecting arm 1 and the outer shell 2 transport the irregular ring part through the positioning unit. By setting up a gripping mechanism, the gripping stability is enhanced. At the same time, it can automatically adjust according to the shape of the irregular ring part, thereby facilitating the gripping of more types of ring parts and improving the applicability of the claw plate.
[0021] The power unit includes a motor 3 and a transmission rod 4. The motor 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting arm 1 near the housing 2.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor 3 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 3 drives the transmission rod 4 to rotate, which facilitates the provision of power output.
[0023] The transmission unit includes a first gear 5 and a second gear 6, and the first gear 5 is fixed to the side of the transmission rod 4 away from the motor 3. The second gear 6 meshes with the outer side of the end of the first gear 5 away from the transmission rod 4.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission rod 4 rotates and drives the first gear 5 to rotate, so that the first gear 5 drives the second gear 6 and the external threaded rod 7 to rotate through meshing with the second gear 6. By setting the first gear 5 and the second gear 6, it is convenient to transmit power.
[0025] The adjustment unit includes an external threaded rod 7, an internal threaded plate 8, and a clamping plate 9.

The end of the external threaded rod 7 away from the second gear 6 is connected to the outer casing 2. The internal threaded plate 8 is sleeved on the outer side of the middle end of the external threaded rod 7. The clamping plate 9 is fixed to the side of the internal threaded plate 8 away from the external threaded rod 7.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the second gear 6 drives the external thread rod 7 to rotate, so that the external thread rod 7 meshes with the internal thread plate 8, causing the internal thread plate 8 to drive the clamping plate 9 to move.
[0027] The limiting unit includes a limiting block 10 and a rubber pad 11. The limiting block 10 is fixedly connected to both sides of the internal thread plate 8. The end of the limiting block 10 away from the internal thread plate 8 is inserted and slidably inserted into the outer shell 2. The rubber pad 11 is fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting block 10.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when the internal thread plate 8 moves, it drives the limiting block 10 and the rubber pad 11 to move, so that the limiting block 10 and the rubber pad 11 limit the movement of the internal thread plate 8.
[0029] The rolling unit includes a roller 12 and a limiting rod 13. The roller 12 is inserted inside the limiting block 10. The limiting rod 13 is fixedly connected to both sides of the roller 12, and the side of the limiting rod 13 away from the roller 12 is connected to the limiting block 10.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, when the limiting block 10 moves, it drives the roller 12 and the limiting rod 13 to move, so that the roller 12 rolls against the inner wall of the outer shell 2 under the limitation of the limiting rod 13, and the internal thread plate 8 moves with the help of the rolling of the roller 12.
[0031] The locking unit includes a locking rod 14 and a spring 15. The locking rod 14 is inserted into the opposite end of the locking plate 9, and the spring 15 is inserted into the middle of the locking rod 14. The end of the spring 15 away from the locking rod 14 is fixed to the locking plate 9, and the end of the spring 15 inserted into the locking rod 14 is fixed to the locking rod 14.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping plate 9 drives the rubber pad 114 and the spring 15 to approach the irregular ring part, and the clamping rod 14 limits the protruding part of the irregular ring part.
[0033] The three sets of second gears 6 mesh on the outside of the first gear 5, and the three sets of second gears 6 are equidistant.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the three sets of second gears 6 are equidistantly arranged outside the first gear 5, which facilitates the operation of the three sets of second gears 6 by the first gear 5.
[0035] Working Principle: When gripping an irregular ring-shaped part, the robotic arm first moves the connecting arm 1 and the outer shell 2 to the upper side of the irregular ring-shaped part, so that the lower side of the outer shell 2 fits against the upper side of the irregular ring-shaped part. Then, the motor 3 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 3 drives the transmission rod 4 and the first gear 5 to rotate. After the first gear 5 rotates, it meshes with the second gear 6, which in turn drives the external thread rod 7 to rotate. After the external thread rod 7 rotates, it meshes with the internal thread plate 8, which, with the assistance of the limiting block 10, the rubber pad 11, the roller 12, and the limiting rod 13, moves the clamping plate 9. The limiting block 10 and the rubber pad 11 limit the movement of the internal thread plate 8. At the same time, when the limiting block 10 moves, it drives the roller 12 and the limiting rod 13 to move, so that the roller 12, limited by the limiting rod 13, fits against the inner wall of the outer shell 2. The movement is aided by the rolling of roller 12 to move the internal thread plate 8. When the clamping plate 9 moves the clamping rod 14 and spring 15 close to the irregular ring part, the clamping rod 14 first fits against the irregular ring part. Then, part of the clamping rod 14 is squeezed into the clamping plate 9 by the protruding part of the irregular ring part and compressed into the spring 15. The clamping rod 14 that is not squeezed continues to move closer to the irregular ring part. When the clamping rod 14 wraps around the protruding part of the irregular ring part, the motor 3 is turned off. The mechanical arm drives the connecting arm 1 and the outer shell 2 to move. The outer shell 2 moves the irregular ring part for transport by the clamping plate 9, clamping rod 14 and spring 15. When the irregular ring part is transported to the designated location, the motor 3 is started, so that the output shaft of the motor 3 drives the transmission rod 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby allowing the clamping plate 9 to move the clamping rod 14 and spring 15 back to their original position and separate from the irregular ring part.
[0036] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
