DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 The structure of the bottle-grabbing mechanism for tracking in this embodiment is set as follows:
[0021] The clamping jaws 11 of the three-jaw pneumatic finger 1 face downward, and a connecting piece 12 for assembly with external equipment is installed on the top. A clamping block 3 and a straightening block 4 are installed on each clamping jaw 11 through a clamping arm 2. Each clamping block 3 and a straightening block 4 are arranged one above and one below, and are equidistantly spaced in a circumferential direction around the central axis of the three-jaw pneumatic finger 1. With the opening and closing of each clamping jaw 11, each clamping block 3 is either closed toward the center or opened away from the center, and each straightening block 4 is either closed toward the center or opened away from the center, with the central axis of the three-jaw pneumatic finger 1 as the center.
[0022] The glass bottle 5 to be grasped is located directly below the mechanism, with the bottle mouth facing upwards. The opened clamping blocks 3 and the straightening blocks 4 are located outside the bottle mouth of the glass bottle 5, the retracted clamping blocks 3 are clamped on the bottle mouth of the glass bottle 5, and the retracted straightening blocks 4 are adaptively pressed on the connection between the bottle mouth and the shoulder of the glass bottle 5.
[0023] In the specific implementation, the corresponding structural settings also include:
[0024] The three clamping jaws 11 of the three-jaw pneumatic finger 1 are equidistantly distributed in the circumferential direction, and a clamping arm 2 is arranged on the clamping jaw 11. The clamping block 3 and the straightening block 4 are installed by the clamping arm 2. Through the clamping of the clamping block 3 and the straightening of the straightening block 4, while providing a stable clamping force, it prevents the glass bottle 5 from swinging and falling during the grasping and moving process, so that the mechanism has both clamping and straightening functions.
[0025] The clamping block 3 is made of polyurethane, which can increase the friction force on the glass bottle 5, further improve the clamping force, and avoid damage to the bottle mouth.
[0026] The straightening block 4 is made of silicone, which can reduce damage to the glass bottle 5 during the grasping process. The elasticity of the silicone material can ensure full contact between the straightening block 4 and the bottle body, improve compatibility with position errors of the glass bottle 5, and prevent collision during the grasping process.
[0027] The clamping block 3 contacts the bottle mouth of the glass bottle 5 with the clamping surface 34, and the bottom of the clamping surface has a chamfer 31. The design of the chamfer 31 can effectively increase the position compatibility relative to the bottle mouth when grasping.
[0028] The clamping block 3 is fastened to the clamping arm 2 through a threaded fixing plate 32 and a bolt hole sleeve 33 by bolts, so that the clamping block 3 is easy to disassemble, assemble and replace.
[0029] The lower end of the clamping arm 2 is folded outward along the radial direction of the three-claw pneumatic finger 1, and the folded section is installed with a straightening block 4. The straightening block 4 contacts the glass bottle 5 with a straightening surface 41, and the straightening surface is tilted according to the inclination angle of the bottle shoulder at the pressed position.
[0030] Example of working process:
[0031] The entire mechanism can be assembled on external equipment through a connecting piece 12, for example, it can be installed at the end of a robot as an end effector, and move with the external equipment to the top of a single glass bottle 5 transported on the flat-top chain, so that the clamping arm 2 surrounds the periphery of the bottle mouth, and the three-claw pneumatic finger 1 is retracted, driving the clamping arm 2 and the clamping block 3 and the straightening block 4 on the clamping arm 2 to retract synchronously, and the three clamping blocks 3 are used to clamp the bottle mouth of the bottle, and the straightening block 4 is used to press on the connection between the bottle mouth and the bottle shoulder, so as to clamp and straighten the bottle, and then the glass bottle 5 grasped by the mechanism is driven by an external device to leave the flat-top chain and be transferred to the next workstation such as a carrier or a bottle stack.
[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
