Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation equipment, in particular to an automated material handling device. Background Art

[0002] Material handling refers to the activities carried out within the same place with the main goal of changing the storage status and spatial position of materials. It is an important link in the logistics system, which is very important for improving the efficiency of warehouse operations and directly affects production efficiency.

[0003] In the existing industrial production process, material handling is an important link. Inside the production workshop, handling equipment is usually used to carry the stacked goods to transfer them to the production line. At present, there are many kinds of handling equipment on the market, such as manipulators, forklifts, trolleys, etc., but there are still many shortcomings in practical applications. The manipulator has a complex structure and is expensive. It is usually used as a fixed-point handling equipment and does not have a convenient mobile function; the forklift requires manual driving and operation, which is dangerous to operate inside the production workshop, and consumes a lot of energy, which is not convenient for short-distance transportation; the trolley requires manual handling and stacking of the goods, and then manpower pushes and moves them, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has high labor intensity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of automated material handling device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The utility model facilitates the convenient transportation and movement of materials through the coordinated work of the translation mechanism, the lifting mechanism and the clamping mechanism, and can flexibly adapt to different working environments and material handling needs. It has a simple structure, strong practicality, and is easy to operate. It effectively solves the use limitations of the original handling equipment in a changing environment and improves the efficiency and accuracy of material handling.

[0015] 2. The utility model can drive the clamping mechanism to move horizontally by means of the translation mechanism, so that the material clamped by the clamping mechanism can be placed at different positions on the pallet, thereby realizing accurate handling of the material.

[0016] 3. A slide rail a is installed at the bottom of the inner side of the support seat, and a slider a is fixed on the top of the translation block, and the slider a is connected with the slide rail a. The slider a cooperates with the slide rail a to provide a guide for the horizontal movement of the translation block, so that the translation block can move horizontally smoothly along the slide rail a, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the translation block during the movement, while reducing friction and resistance, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of translation.

[0017] 4. The lifting mechanism can drive the translation mechanism and the clamping mechanism to move up and down, which is convenient for controlling the position of the clamping mechanism in the vertical direction, and then can transport materials at different heights, and can adapt to the material handling needs at different heights.

[0018] 5. The clamping mechanism is the part of the automated material handling device that comes into direct contact with the material. It is responsible for clamping and carrying the material, making it easier to lift the material from where it is placed, and can clamp and carry the stacked material to the pallet. When the material needs to be clamped, the electric push rod shortens and drives the left movable arm to move inward through the connecting frame. Due to the meshing connection between the gear and the two sets of rack plates, the movement of the left movable arm will drive the right movable arm to move relative to each other. When the two sets of movable arms move toward each other, the clamping plate at the end will clamp the material; when the two sets of movable arms move away from each other, the clamping plate will release the material.

[0019] 6. A layer of rubber pad is attached to the inner side of both sets of clamping plates. The rubber pad can increase the friction between the clamping plate and the material, which helps to hold the material more firmly and prevent the material from slipping or shifting during handling. The rubber pad is soft in texture and can provide a certain degree of protection for the material during the clamping process to avoid scratching or crushing the surface of the material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an automated material handling device includes a chassis 6, two sets of running wheels 7 driven by a motor are installed on both sides of the chassis 6, a pallet 5 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the chassis 6, a gantry 3 is arranged on the upper side of the pallet 5, a lifting mechanism 1 is fixedly arranged on the top of the gantry 3, a translation mechanism 2 is arranged on the lower side of the gantry 3, and a clamping mechanism 4 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the translation mechanism 2. This design solves the problems that the existing handling equipment is often unable to operate in a complex and changeable environment, cannot meet the material handling needs in different situations, has poor adaptability, and has a poor use effect.

[0031] The translation mechanism 2 includes a translation block 21, a threaded screw 22, a support seat 23, a fixed plate 24 and a drive motor 25. The fixed plate 24 is longitudinally arranged inside the gantry 3. The support seat 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 24 by bolts. The threaded screw 22 is assembled on the lower side of the support seat 23. The right end of the support seat 23 is assembled with a drive motor 25, and the output end of the drive motor 25 is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded screw 22 by a coupling. The translation block 21 is sleeved on the threaded screw 22 through a threaded engagement. The design can drive the clamping mechanism 4 to move horizontally through the translation mechanism 2 set, and then the material clamped by the clamping mechanism 4 can be placed at different positions on the support plate 5, so as to realize the precise handling of the material. When the clamping mechanism 4 needs to be moved, the drive motor 25 is started and drives the threaded screw 22 to rotate. Since the translation block 21 is sleeved on the threaded screw 22 through a threaded engagement, when the screw rotates, the translation block 21 will move in a straight line in the horizontal direction along the screw. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the driving motor 25, the moving direction and speed of the translation block 21 and the clamping mechanism 4 connected thereto can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving accurate material handling.

[0032] A slide rail a26 is installed at the bottom of the inner side of the support seat 23, and a slider a27 is fixed on the top of the translation block 21, and the slider a27 is connected with the slide rail a26. The slider a27 cooperates with the slide rail a26 to provide a guide for the horizontal movement of the translation block 21, so that the translation block 21 can move horizontally smoothly along the slide rail a26, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the translation block 21 during the movement, while reducing friction and resistance, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of translation.

[0033] The lifting mechanism 1 includes a reduction motor 11, a winch 12, a steel wire rope 13, a fixed pulley 14 and a movable pulley 15. The winch 12 is fixedly arranged on the top of the gantry 3. The reduction motor 11 is arranged at the rear side of the winch 12, and the output shaft of the reduction motor 11 is fixedly connected to the shaft inside the winch 12. Two groups of steel wire ropes 13 are wound in the same direction on the winch 12. The fixed pulleys 14 are installed on the left and right sides of the top structure of the gantry 3. There are two groups of movable pulleys 15 and they are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the top of the fixed plate 24. The two groups of steel wire ropes 13 are respectively drawn out from the winch 12, bypass the fixed pulley 14 and wind around the movable pulley 15, and the ends of the steel wire ropes 13 are fixedly connected to the gantry 3. The lifting mechanism 1 can drive the translation mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 4 to move up and down, which is convenient for controlling the position of the clamping mechanism 4 in the vertical direction, and then can carry materials at different heights, and can meet the material handling needs at different heights. When the clamping mechanism 4 needs to be raised or lowered, the reduction motor 11 starts and drives the winch 12 to rotate. The rotation of the winch 12 will roll up or release the wire rope 13, and after changing the direction through the fixed pulley 14, the wire rope 13 will pull the movable pulley 15 up or down. Since the movable pulley 15 is connected to the translation mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 4, the translation mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 4 will move in the vertical direction accordingly, thereby driving the material to move up and down. By accurately controlling the rotation direction and speed of the reduction motor 11, the clamping mechanism 4 can be accurately positioned and moved in the vertical direction.

[0034] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a suspension frame 41, a fixed bracket 42, a back plate 43, a clamping plate 44, a movable support arm 45, a rack plate 46, a gear 47, an electric push rod 410 and a connecting frame 411. The top of the suspension frame 41 is fixedly connected to the translation block 21, and the left side of the suspension frame 41 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 42 by bolts. A back plate 43 is fixedly arranged on the left side of the fixed bracket 42. Two groups of staggered L-shaped movable support arms 45 are arranged on the left side of the back plate 43, and clamping plates 44 are installed on the outer sides of the ends of the two groups of movable support arms 45. Rack plates 46 are installed on the opposite inner sides of the two groups of movable support arms 45. A rotatable gear 47 is installed on the front side of the back plate 43, and the gear 47 is meshed and connected with the two groups of rack plates 46. An electric push rod 410 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the back plate 43, and a connecting frame 411 is fixedly arranged on the rear side of the left movable support arm 45, and the connecting frame 411 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 410. The clamping mechanism 4 is the part of the automated material handling device that is in direct contact with the material. It is responsible for clamping and carrying the material, facilitating the lifting of the material from the place where it is placed, and can clamp and carry the stacked material to the pallet 5. When the material needs to be clamped, the electric push rod 410 is shortened, and the left movable arm 45 is driven to move inward through the connecting frame 411. Due to the meshing connection between the gear 47 and the two sets of rack plates 46, the movement of the left movable arm 45 will drive the right movable arm 45 to move relative to each other. When the two sets of movable arms 45 move toward each other, the clamping plate 44 at the end will clamp the material; when the two sets of movable arms 45 move away from each other, the clamping plate 44 will release the material.

[0035] A layer of rubber pad 441 is attached to the inner side of the two sets of clamping plates 44. The rubber pad 441 can increase the friction between the clamping plates 44 and the material, which helps to hold the material more firmly and prevent the material from slipping or shifting during the handling process. The rubber pad 441 is soft in texture and can provide a certain degree of protection for the material during the clamping process to avoid scratching or crushing the surface of the material.

[0036] The upper and lower sides of the front side of the back plate 43 are equipped with slide rails b48, and the rear sides of the two groups of movable arms 45 are respectively provided with multiple groups of sliders b49, and the sliders b49 are connected with the slide rails b48. Through the precise matching of the slide rails b48 on the back plate 43 and the sliders b49 on the movable arms 45, the clamping mechanism 4 can achieve stable and accurate linear motion. The matching connection of the sliders b49 and the slide rails b48 not only ensures the linearity and stability of the movement of the movable arms 45, but also reduces the friction resistance during the movement, making the movement of the clamping mechanism 4 smoother and more efficient.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not limitations on the implementation methods of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. All obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
