[0046] The server provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Embodiment 1:

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an automated spring disk clamping device, including a machine base 1, a robotic arm 2 and a robotic arm 3, and also includes: an extension arm 4, one end of which is sleeved inside the robotic arm 2, and the other end is movably connected to the robotic arm 3; a driving component 5, which is movably connected between the extension arm 4 and the robotic arm 2, and is used to drive the extension arm 4 to retract.

[0049] Furthermore, the driving assembly 5 includes a slide groove 6, which is arranged at the upper end of the robotic arm 2; a driving block 7, which is movably installed in the slide groove 6; and a telescopic cloth 8, which is movably connected in the slide groove 6; wherein one end of the extension arm 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the driving block 7.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating shaft, which is movably installed at the rear end of the mechanical arm and driven by a motor; a tank chain 10, both ends of which are fixedly connected between the driving block 7 and the rotating shaft.

[0051] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when the position of the manipulator 3 needs to be adjusted, the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate and drive the tank chain 10 to move. One end of the tuck chain is connected to the driving block 7, and the tuck chain drives the driving block 7 to move along the direction of the slide 6. At the same time, the telescopic cloth 8 located on both sides of the driving block 7 expands and shortens respectively with the movement of the driving block 7. The setting of the telescopic cloth 8 makes the driving block 7 more buffering during the movement, and can prevent external dust from falling into the slide 6, thereby reducing the efficiency of the driving block 7. The driving block 7 moves along the slide 6 away from the outer end of the base 1, and the extension arm 4 extends from the mechanical arm 2, thereby lengthening the overall length of the mechanical arm 2. The distance between the manipulator 3 and the machine base 1 is increased; the driving block 7 moves along the slide groove 6 away from the inner end of the machine base 1, and the extension arm 4 moves toward the inside of the manipulator 2, shortening the overall length of the manipulator 2, thereby shortening the distance between the manipulator 3 and the machine base 1. The position of the manipulator 3 can be adjusted according to actual use, and the position of the manipulator 3 and other drive adjustments are all adjusted through the CNC controller. The operation of the equipment can be adjusted according to the processing conditions to achieve automation of the equipment, and the equipment can be distributed among different machine tools according to the continuous processing of the product. The product can be loaded onto the processing machine tool through the manipulator 3 without manual transportation. The automated setting reduces labor and improves processing efficiency.

[0052] Embodiment 2:

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the present embodiment also includes: the manipulator 3 includes a rotating component 11, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the extension arm 4, for driving the turntable 12 to rotate in the vertical direction; the turntable 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating component 11; a pair of support frames 13, which are respectively detachably mounted on the turntable 12; and a pair of suction cups 14, which are respectively fixedly mounted on each support frame 13.

[0054] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 11 includes a rotating cylinder 15, which is fixedly mounted on the head end of the extension arm 4; a connecting block 16, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder 15; a micro motor 17, which is fixedly mounted on the connecting block 16; and a fixed block 18, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the turntable 12 and the side is movably connected to the micro motor 17.

[0055] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of mounting grooves 19 which are evenly distributed on the turntable 12 ; and a gripping chuck 20 which is mounted on the plurality of mounting grooves 19 via fasteners 25 .

[0056] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, since the processing surfaces of different machine tools are different, when the processing surface of the machine base 1 is a parallel surface, only the height and the plane angle need to be adjusted. When the processing surface of the machine base 1 is a vertical surface, the manipulator 3 needs to rotate the vertical angle to clamp the product on the machine tool. A rotating cylinder 15 is installed at the lower end of the extension arm 4 for rotating the parallel angle of the connecting block 16. A micro motor 17 is installed on the driving block 7. The micro motor 17 drives the rotatable fixed block 18. Since the micro motor 17 is vertically connected to the fixed block 18, the lower end of the fixed block 18 is fixedly connected to the turntable 12, and the micro motor The drive 17 can change the vertical angle of the turntable 12, and a support frame 13 is installed on the fixed block 18. The support frame 13 is used to fix the suction cup 14. The suction cup 14 adsorbs the product and then transports it to the machine tool. For example, when the product needs to be transported to a machine tool with a vertical processing surface, the extension arm 4 is first extended along the mechanical arm 2, and then the product is adsorbed by the suction cup 14. After adsorption, the extension arm 4 retracts, and the turntable 12 is rotated by the rotating cylinder 15, which drives the suction cup 14 to rotate in the plane direction, so that the product is close to the machine tool, and then the turntable 12 is driven by the micro motor 17 to rotate 90° in the vertical direction, so that the product can fit the processing surface of the machine tool and the product is effectively clamped.

[0057] Different products can use different gripping devices. The fasteners 25 (bolts, screws, pins, etc.) connecting the turntable 12 and the support frame 13 are unscrewed, the support frame 13 equipped with the suction cup 14 is removed, and a new gripping chuck 20 is installed to the lower end of the turntable 12. The mounting hole of the gripping chuck 20 is aligned with the mounting groove 19 of the turntable 12, and the gripping chuck 20 is fixed to the turntable 12 using the fasteners 25. The applicability of the equipment is improved by the detachable setting of the manipulator 3.

[0058] Embodiment 3:

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, this embodiment also includes: an air suction port 21, which is arranged at the upper end of the suction cup 14; a vacuum chamber 22, which is arranged at the lower end of the suction cup 14 and is connected to the air suction port 21; a plurality of reinforcing ribs 23, which are evenly distributed on the side walls of the vacuum chamber 22; and a plurality of support rods 24, which are respectively fixedly connected to the top of each reinforcing rib 23 and the vacuum chamber 22.

[0060] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when it is necessary to improve the strength of the suction cup 14, reinforcing ribs 23 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the vacuum chamber 22 to improve the compressive strength of the suction cup 14 in the vertical direction, and a support rod 24 is fixedly connected to the top of each reinforcing rib 23, and each support rod 24 is obliquely connected between each reinforcing rib 23 and a fixed surface of the vacuum chamber 22, so that an angle is formed between the reinforcing rib 23 and the support rod 24. The setting of the angle can improve the compressive strength of the suction cup 14 in multiple directions, thereby improving the overall strength of the suction cup 14, effectively preventing the suction cup 14 from deformation or damage, and improving the service life of the suction cup 14.

[0061] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

In addition, the features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.

[0062] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present application.
