The compression spring 508 is pressed into the inner top of the locating sleeve 504, and the bottom of the compression spring 508 is attached to the upper end surface of the locating shaft 505. The upper end surface of the locating shaft 505 is installed with a linear bearing 503. The left and right sides of the locating shaft 505 are fixedly provided with locating pins 502. The locating pins 502 are inserted into the locating sleeve 504. A round nut 506 is fixedly installed above the outer surface of the locating sleeve 504. A washer 507 is fixedly arranged on the top of the locating shaft 505 by bolts.

[0032] In this embodiment, the diameter of the washer 507 is larger than the diameter of the upper opening of the positioning sleeve 504 , so as to prevent the positioning shaft 505 from moving downward and ensure the position of the positioning shaft 505 .

[0033] The device uses 7075 aluminum alloy plate as the gripper support, which is in a C-shaped structure. When the gripper grabs the workpiece for loading, it avoids the spindle pull rod of the CNC grinding machine equipment. The gripper plate has three slots for adjusting the position of the electromagnet tooling to achieve the processing of products of different specifications. The transition plate, support, flange connected to the robot, 3 sets of single-sided electromagnet tooling and electromagnet are installed on the gripper plate. The connection support is in an "I" structure, which can avoid the grinding wheel in the horizontal CNC grinding equipment. The electromagnet is installed on the positioning shaft by threaded connection. Two positioning pins are installed on the positioning shaft. A compression spring is placed inside the positioning sleeve. A linear bearing is installed on the large end face side. Then the positioning shaft equipped with the electromagnet and the positioning pin is passed through the linear bearing and the compression spring. The two positioning pins are inserted into the pin hole of the positioning sleeve to prevent the electromagnet from rotating. On the small end face of the positioning sleeve, the gasket is assembled and the positioning shaft is fixed with bolts. The electromagnet is installed on the gripper plate and has a certain amount of floating, which ensures that the electromagnet is more reliable when adsorbing the workpiece and extends the service life of the tooling parts. When the workpiece is processed and automatically stacked, the gripper electromagnet plane exceeds the robot flange plane, ensuring that the gripper does not interfere with the pallet and the products placed on the pallet when it is completely flat. This overcomes the problems of automatic loading and unloading of horizontal CNC grinders during the automated processing of disc parts, the horizontal grinder can be placed in an automated production line, and automatic stacking.

[0034] In this embodiment, the electromagnet 501 includes an annular through groove 5011, an annular embedded groove 5012, a through ring 5013, an inner ring 5014 and an exhaust hole 5015. The bottom of the electromagnet 501 is provided with an annular through groove 5011, the top of the annular through groove 5011 is penetrated by an annular embedded groove 5012, a through ring 5013 is penetrated in the annular through groove 5011, the top of the through ring 5013 is fixedly provided with an inner ring 5014, and exhaust holes 5015 are provided on both sides of the inner ring 5014.

[0035] In this embodiment, the width of the inner ring 5014 is greater than the width of the through ring 5013 , and the inner ring 5014 is connected to the annular embedding groove 5012 in an airtight manner.

[0036] In this embodiment, the through ring 5013 and the inner ring 5014 are made of rubber, and when the inner ring 5014 is attached to the bottom of the annular embedding groove 5012, the bottom horizontal height of the through ring 5013 is lower than the bottom horizontal height of the electromagnet 501, and when the inner ring 5014 is attached to the top of the annular embedding groove 5012, the bottom horizontal height of the through ring 5013 is equal to the bottom horizontal height of the electromagnet 501.

[0037] The utility model is provided with a through ring 5013 and an inner ring 5014. When the electromagnet 501 does not contact the workpiece, the through ring 5013 extends out of the annular through groove 5011. When the electromagnet 501 contacts the workpiece, the through ring 5013 contacts the workpiece first, thereby preventing hard contact between the electromagnet 501 and the workpiece, thereby ensuring the service life of the electromagnet 501. When the electromagnet 501 moves downward, the inner ring 5014 moves upward along the annular embedded groove 5012, thereby squeezing the gas in the annular embedded groove 5012. The gas in the annular embedded groove 5012 buffers the inner ring, thereby alleviating the contact impact force.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] The robot drives the electromagnetic adsorption gripper to move above the workpiece. When the three groups of electromagnets 501 installed on the positioning shaft 505 touch the workpiece, the electromagnet is guaranteed to completely adsorb the workpiece. Under the action of the compression spring 508, the electromagnet 501 floats upward, thereby avoiding hard contact between the electromagnet 501 and the workpiece, causing the robot to misjudge overload, making the electromagnet 501 more reliable when adsorbing the workpiece, extending the service life of the tooling parts. The gripper adsorbs the workpiece and enters the CNC mill. Through the C-shaped structure, it avoids the CNC mill spindle pull rod and clamping plate, and the support structure is connected to avoid the grinding wheel in the horizontal CNC mill equipment. The charging of the electromagnet 501 is controlled by the program. , release the magnet to complete the automatic loading and unloading of products on the horizontal CNC grinding equipment; when the workpiece is processed and automatically stacked, the plane of the gripper electromagnet 501 exceeds the plane of the robot flange to ensure that the gripper does not interfere with the pallet and the products placed on the pallet when it is completely flat. During the working movement, under the action of the positioning pin 502, the electromagnet will not be displaced or rotated. When changing the model, you only need to use a special wrench to loosen the round nut 506 and move the electromagnet tooling to the position of the three notches on the gripper plate 4 to meet the processing of products of different specifications and models; when disassembling, you only need to unscrew the round nut 506 to complete the tooling disassembly, which is convenient and quick.

[0040] The above are only preferred implementations of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model. These should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model. These will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
