It is understood that in other embodiments, the bag taking and bag delivering robot of the filling machine of the present application is not limited to be used only on the filling machine, but can also be used to suck other light and thin sheet products and deliver them to a designated location, which is not limited here.
[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 The overall structural diagram of the bag-taking and bag-delivering robot in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The bag-taking and bag-delivering robot provided by the present application includes a base 10 installed on the filling machine, and a first rotating shaft 20 is arranged on the base 10. The first rotating shaft 20 can rotate on the base 10. A large arm 30 and a middle arm 40 are installed on the first rotating shaft 20. The large arm 30 has a first end 31 and a second end 32. The first end 31 of the large arm 30 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 20 and is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 20. When the large arm 30 rotates with the first end 31 as the center, the first rotating shaft 20 also rotates with it, so that the robot can be Figure 3 or Figure 4In the two states, the second end 32 of the upper arm 30 is connected to the first telescopic rod 50, one end of the first telescopic rod 50 is hinged to the upper arm 30, and the other end is hinged to a fixed bracket on the filling machine through a connecting piece 51, and the first telescopic rod 50 is used to drive the upper arm 30 to rotate around the first end 31.
[0027] See also Figure 5 The middle arm 40 has a third end 41 and a fourth end 42. The third end 41 of the middle arm 40 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 20 and fixedly connected to the first end 31 of the upper arm. When the upper arm 30 rotates around the first end 31, the middle arm 40 rotates around the third end 41.
[0028] See also Figure 2 A first gear 60 and a second gear 70 are provided inside the middle arm 40. The first gear 60 and the second gear 70 are connected by a chain transmission. The first gear 60 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 20 and fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 20. When the first rotating shaft 20 rotates, the first gear 60 rotates with the first rotating shaft 20, thereby driving the second gear 70 to rotate.
[0029] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 A second rotating shaft 80 is provided on the fourth end portion 42 of the middle arm 40. Specifically, a sleeve 43 penetrating the interior of the middle arm 40 is provided on the fourth end portion 42. The second rotating shaft 80 is rotatably inserted into the sleeve 43, and one end of the second rotating shaft 80 is located inside the middle arm 40. The second gear 70 is sleeved on one end of the second rotating shaft 80 located inside the middle arm 40 and is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 80. When the first gear 60 drives the second gear 70 to rotate, the second gear 70 drives the second rotating shaft 80 to rotate.
