[0002] Tire production factories produce thousands of tires every day. The handling and stacking of tires is a very important issue. After the tires are produced, they often need to be stacked. At this time, a robot is needed. In the prior art, traditional robots mostly grab the outer ring of the tire when grabbing the tire. Its stability is often low, and the tire is prone to fall when moving, and the use effect is not good. At the same time, in the process of transit storage of finished products or semi-finished products in the tire factory's stereoscopic warehouse, the entry and exit of tires involves a lot of handling work. Due to the variety of tire specifications, tires of different specifications require corresponding robots for gripping and transportation. The applicability of traditional robots is poor, resulting in reduced handling efficiency. Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure is studied and improved, and a tire automatic grabbing robot is provided to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0033] Example:

[0034] See also Figure 1-5 A tire automatic grasping manipulator comprises a mounting base 1, a rotating shaft 2 is installed at the top center position of the mounting base 1, a central gear 3 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting base 1, and the central gear 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 2, three planetary gears 4 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting base 1 through a pin shaft 9, the planetary gears 4 are meshed with the outer periphery of the central gear 3, a circular arc swing arm 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the planetary gear 4, a clamp 6 is installed at the bottom of one end of the circular arc swing arm 5, a driving mechanism 7 is arranged at the top of the mounting base 1, and is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 2, and three clamps 8 are arranged at the top of the mounting base 1.

[0035] See also Figure 2 The rotating shaft 2 passes through the center of the mounting seat 1 and is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1 through a bearing.

[0036] See also Figure 4The clamp 6 includes a connecting rod 601 fixed to the end of the arc swing arm 5 away from the planetary gear 4, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 601 is fixedly connected with a spherical clamp 602. When in use, the spherical clamp 602 is made of soft material and will not scratch the tire surface.

[0037] See also Figure 2 The driving mechanism 7 includes a support base 701 fixed at the top center position of the mounting base 1, a servo motor 702 is installed on the top of the support base 701, and the output shaft of the servo motor 702 is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 2 through a coupling 703.

[0038] See also Figure 5 The clamp 8 includes a clamping cylinder 801 fixed to the top of the mounting base 1, the output end of the clamping cylinder 801 is fixedly connected to an adjusting arm 802, the bottom of one end of the adjusting arm 802 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 803, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 803 is fixedly connected to a spherical clamp 804. When in use, the spherical clamp 804 is made of soft material and will not scratch the tire surface. At the same time, with the cooperation of the clamping cylinder 801 and the adjusting arm 802, the spherical clamp 804 can be extended to the sidewall of the tire and clamped to prevent the tire from falling during transportation and improve its stability.

[0039] See also Figure 1 The three planetary gears 4 and the three clamping cylinders 801 are equidistantly distributed at the bottom and top edge positions of the mounting seat 1 , and each clamping cylinder 801 is arranged between two adjacent planetary gears 4 .

[0040] When in use: the tire is placed flat in the material area, the manipulator moves to the top of the tire, the manipulator moves downward, and stops when the spherical clamp 804 moves to the bottom of the tire mouth. At this time, the circular arc swing arm 5 is in a retracted state. When grabbing, the servo motor 702 works and drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate through the coupling 703. The central gear 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 and can rotate around the center point of the rotating shaft 2. Since the planetary gear 4 is meshed with the central gear 3, when the central gear 3 rotates, the planetary gear 4 is driven to rotate synchronously. The circular arc swing arm 5 is pushed by the planetary gear 4 and unfolds with the central gear 3 as the center. The spherical clamp 1 602 extends to the bottom of the tire mouth and fits tightly with the mouth. At this time, the clamping cylinder 801 is started to extend its spherical clamp 2 804 to the tire sidewall position and clamp it. In this way, under the action of the spherical clamp 1 602 and the spherical clamp 2 804 inside and outside the tire, the tire is clamped and fixed. With the assistance of the external motion device, the tire can be easily transported to the designated area, realizing full-automatic tire transportation, short grabbing and transportation time, suitable for the clamping and transportation of tires of different sizes, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation work, and also improving the stability of grabbing, avoiding the tire from falling during transportation.
