Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model is applied to the technical field of material transfer, and particularly relates to a manipulator compatible with different tray suction cup mechanisms. Background Art

[0002] As a frequently used part of automation, the manipulator is a carrier or product for automated line handling. The automated handling of products in a tray usually involves installing a carrier at the lifting end of the Z-axis of the manipulator. Most manipulator Z-axis are equipped with a single-specification carrier, which can only handle one specification of product at a time. This has certain limitations and the handling efficiency is relatively low. For example, a Chinese patent with publication number CN218747741U discloses a material tray handling manipulator, which can only handle one specification of material tray at a time. If the material needs to be changed, the suction cup needs to be removed and the spacing between the suction nozzles needs to be adjusted. The operation process is relatively cumbersome and is not conducive to improving work efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a manipulator with a compact structure, low cost, and the ability to pick up and place multiple trays, which is compatible with different tray suction cup mechanisms. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a manipulator with a compact structure, low cost, and capable of taking and placing materials from multiple trays and compatible with suction cup mechanisms of different trays.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: the utility model includes a mounting block, the mounting block is provided with a first driving cylinder driven in a horizontal direction and a second driving cylinder driven in a vertical direction, the action end of the first driving cylinder is provided with a first mounting bar, the action end of the second driving cylinder is provided with a second mounting bar and a third driving cylinder driven in a horizontal direction, the fixed end of the second driving cylinder is provided with a third mounting bar, the action end of the third driving cylinder is provided with a fourth mounting bar, the first mounting bar, the second mounting bar, the third mounting bar and the fourth mounting bar are arranged in sequence and arranged in parallel, and each mounting bar is provided with a plurality of suction nozzles.

[0005] It can be seen from the above scheme that the first mounting bar cooperates with the third mounting bar to complete the transfer of Trays of one specification, and the second mounting bar cooperates with the fourth mounting bar to complete the transfer of Trays of another specification. The manipulator is compatible with different Trays, and the suction cup mechanism has a compact structure and low cost. A single mechanism can realize material picking and transportation at different positions of multiple Trays, and a variable distance mechanism realizes different working position spacing, thereby realizing the sharing of multiple Trays without disassembly, and realizing the staggered spacing between different products, which solves the problems of structural redundancy and increased cost.

[0006] A preferred solution is that each mounting strip is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped holes, and the suction nozzles are arranged at both ends of the waist-shaped holes.

[0007] A preferred solution is that the suction nozzles of the first mounting bar and the suction nozzles of the third mounting bar are symmetrically distributed, and the suction nozzles of the second mounting bar and the suction nozzles of the fourth mounting bar are symmetrically distributed.

[0008] A preferred solution is that the first driving cylinder and the second driving cylinder are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting block.

[0009] A preferred solution is that the action end of the third driving cylinder is connected to a horizontally arranged limit column, the fixed end of the third driving cylinder is connected to a stop block, and the limit column cooperates with the stop block.

[0010] A preferred solution is that the manipulator is compatible with different Tray cup suction cup mechanisms and further includes a moving module, and an action end of the moving module is connected to the top end of the mounting block. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a mounting block 1, and the mounting block 1 is provided with a first driving cylinder 2 driven in a horizontal direction and a second driving cylinder 3 driven in a vertical direction, the action end of the first driving cylinder 2 is provided with a first mounting bar 4, the action end of the second driving cylinder 3 is provided with a second mounting bar 5 and a third driving cylinder 6 driven in a horizontal direction, the fixed end of the second driving cylinder 3 is provided with a third mounting bar 7, and the action end of the third driving cylinder 6 is provided with a fourth mounting bar 8, the first mounting bar 4, the second mounting bar 5, the third mounting bar 7, and the fourth mounting bar 8 are arranged in sequence and in parallel, and each mounting bar is provided with a plurality of suction nozzles 9.

[0016] When the first Tray is delivered to the position by the external conveyor line, the first driving cylinder 2 retracts and the second driving cylinder 3 extends to complete the matching of the size and spacing of the corresponding Trays. All cylinders are locked, and the manipulator moves to the first material picking position. The manipulator descends, and the suction nozzle absorbs the first Tray and moves it up to the placement position. After the product is placed, the manipulator moves to the second material picking position to pick up the material, and the cycle is repeated.

[0017] When the second Tray is delivered to the position by the external conveyor line, the first driving cylinder 2 extends and the second driving cylinder 3 retracts to complete the matching of the size and spacing of the corresponding Trays. All cylinders are locked, and the manipulator moves to the third material picking position. The manipulator descends, and the suction nozzle absorbs the first Tray and moves it up to the placement position. After the products are placed, the manipulator moves to the fourth material picking position to pick up the materials, and the cycle is repeated.

[0018] The first mounting bar 4 and the third mounting bar 7 form a group to complete the transfer of Tray plates of one specification, and the second mounting bar 5 and the fourth mounting bar 8 form another group to complete the transfer of Tray plates of another specification. The third driving cylinder 6 is used to adjust the distance between the fourth mounting bar 8 and the second mounting bar 5, and avoid the third mounting bar 7 at the same time.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, each mounting bar is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped holes 10, and the suction nozzle 9 is arranged at both ends of the waist-shaped hole 10. The suction nozzle 9 can adjust the position of the suction nozzle 9 in the waist-shaped hole 10 according to the suction position of the corresponding tray, and has good compatibility.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction nozzles of the first mounting bar 4 and the third mounting bar 7 are symmetrically distributed, and the suction nozzles of the second mounting bar 5 and the fourth mounting bar 8 are symmetrically distributed.
