For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a fixing mechanism for a robot to take a watch, including: a limiting mechanism 2 and a horizontal pushing mechanism 3.
[0027] Among them, the limiting mechanism 2 includes a limiting cylinder 21 and a limiting baffle 22. The limiting baffle 22 is arranged at the movable end of the limiting cylinder 21, and the movable end of the limiting cylinder 21 telescopically moves in the direction toward and away from the surface on the conveyor 1. The horizontal push mechanism 3 includes a horizontal push cylinder 31 and a horizontal push plate 32. The horizontal push plate 32 is arranged at the movable end of the horizontal push cylinder 31, and the movable end of the horizontal push cylinder 31 telescopically moves in the direction toward and away from the surface on the conveyor 1. In this embodiment, the surface is transported and moved from right to left on the conveyor 1, and the limiting cylinder 21 and the horizontal push cylinder 31 are arranged at the opposite front and rear sides of the conveyor 1, and the limiting baffle 22 and the horizontal push plate 32 are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the surface on the conveyor 1.
[0028] When the meter moving on the conveyor 1 passes between the limit baffle 22 and the push plate 32, the limit cylinder 21 and the push plate 31 are started, and the limit baffle 22 and the push plate 32 move relatively and clamp the meter, which is convenient for the manipulator to clamp and transfer. In order to ensure the stable and efficient implementation of the fixed operation, a detection mechanism 6 for detecting whether there is a meter between the limit baffle 22 and the push plate 32 is provided on the conveyor 1, and it is linked with the limit cylinder 21 and the push cylinder 31. When it is detected that the meter moves between the limit baffle 22 and the push plate 32, the limit cylinder 21 and the push cylinder 31 are started to clamp the meter, and then the manipulator clamps it. When the meter is not detected between the limit baffle 22 and the push plate 32, the limit cylinder 21 and the push cylinder 31 are reset.
[0029] At the same time, in order to better clamp and fix the gauge at the specified position and facilitate the robot to clamp, the left and right ends of the limit baffle 22 are provided with a limit part 23 for limiting the positioning of the gauge. In addition, in order to better apply to gauges of various sizes, the limit baffle 22 includes a connecting plate 24 and a limit plate 25. The connecting plate 24 is arranged at the movable end of the limit cylinder 21. Both ends of the connecting plate 24 are provided with a limit plate 25 that can be moved and adjusted along the conveying direction of the conveyor 1, that is, the limit plate 25 can be moved left and right and arranged at the left or right end of the connecting plate 24, and the ends of the two limit plates 25 that are away from each other are provided with a limit part 23 extending toward the direction of the gauge on the conveyor 1; the limit baffles 22 of different lengths can limit gauges of different sizes, and have a wide applicability. The gauge can be clamped and fixed at a predetermined position in conjunction with the flat push plate 32. The limit cylinder 21 and the push cylinder 31 are both installed on the front and rear sides of the conveyor 1 with adjustable positions (left and right or front and back), and can be adjusted as needed to fix the position of the table on the conveyor 1 to prepare for subsequent robot clamping operations.
[0030] In order to better and more accurately clamp and transfer all the meters one by one, a blocking assembly is provided on the conveyor 1, which is located on the right side of the limit mechanism 2 or the horizontal push mechanism 3, and includes a blocking cylinder and a blocking member. The blocking cylinder is provided on one side of the conveyor 1, and the blocking member is provided on the movable end of the blocking cylinder that telescopes toward and away from the top of the conveyor 1, and is used to block the meters on the conveyor 1 from continuing to move. When the meter on the left side of the blocking assembly has not been clamped and fixed and clamped and transferred by the manipulator, the blocking cylinder will drive the blocking member to move in the forward direction of the meter to block the meter on its right from passing. When the meter is clamped and transferred and no other meter needs to be clamped and fixed, the blocking cylinder is reset, and the blocking member will not block the meter, which will continue to move left under the action of the conveyor 1 until it is clamped and fixed, thereby improving the orderliness of the clamping and transfer of the meter, ensuring the clamping efficiency and quality of the manipulator, and being stable, efficient, safe and reliable.
[0031] At the same time, in this embodiment, two sets of fixing mechanisms are provided on the conveyor, which can clamp and fix the table tools simultaneously or alternately, thereby reducing the waiting time of the robot and improving work efficiency.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the push plate 32 is movably mounted on the movable end of the push cylinder 31 through the buffer assembly 4. The buffer assembly 4 includes a buffer seat 41, a buffer spring 42, a buffer rod 43 and a fastener 44. The buffer seat 41 is fixed to the movable end of the push cylinder 31. One end of the buffer rod 43 extending in the front-to-back direction is fixed to the end of the push plate 32 away from the instrument. The other end of the buffer rod 43 passes through the buffer seat 41. The fastener 44 is adjustably mounted on the other end of the buffer rod 43 and is located on the side of the buffer seat 41 away from the push plate 32, which is used to prevent the buffer rod 43 from detaching from the buffer seat 41. The buffer spring 42 is sleeved on the buffer rod 43 and is located between the push plate 32 and the buffer seat 41. In order to ensure the operation stability of the push plate 32, two groups of buffer springs 42, buffer rods 43 and fasteners 44 are provided on the buffer seat 41 and the push plate 32.
[0033] When the gauge passes between the push plate 32 and the limit baffle 22, the limit cylinder 21 and the push cylinder 31 are both started to clamp the gauge. During this process, due to the action of the buffer assembly 4, the buffer spring 42 will be compressed, and the push plate 32 has a certain amount of activity space, and has a certain elasticity for clamping the gauge, which can clamp the gauge while reducing damage to the gauge. At the same time, a protective pad 5 is provided at one end of the limit baffle 22 and the push plate 32 that contacts the gauge to further protect the gauge and increase the friction with the contact surface of the gauge to ensure the clamping effect.
[0034] The fixing mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can accurately and efficiently clamp and fix the gauge, preparing for the subsequent manipulator to clamp and transfer the gauge. It is efficient, stable, flexible, practical, and has a wide range of applications.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
