Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the following disclosure.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a side-entry four-axis manipulator for a lathe, including a Z-axis moving frame 2, a connecting member 6 is installed on one side of the Z-axis moving frame 2, a slide rail 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting member 6, a connecting frame 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail 7, a steering device 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame 8, three-claw grippers 14 are installed on both sides of the steering device 10, an alternating moving machine 3 is arranged below the Z-axis moving frame 2, two workpiece fixing panels 11 are installed inside the alternating moving machine 3, and a No. 3 driving device 13 is installed inside the alternating moving machine 3, one end of the Z-axis moving frame 2 extends to the top of the three-claw chuck inside the lathe, and the alternating moving machine 3 is arranged on the lower end of the Z-axis moving frame 2. A mounting frame 1 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the motor 3, and the four corners of the lower end of the mounting frame 1 are fixedly connected to support feet 12, one side of the upper end of the mounting frame 1 is fixedly connected to a support frame 9, the Z-axis moving frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 9, one side of the Z-axis moving frame 2 is transmission-connected with a No. 1 drive device 4, and one side of the slide rail 7 is fixedly installed with a No. 2 drive device 5, the output end of the No. 2 drive device 5 is transmission-connected to a connecting frame 8, and the transmission between the No. 2 drive device 5 and the connecting frame 8 is driven by a gear and rack, and the claws of the three-claw gripper 14 are made of silicone soft rubber and other parts that contact the finished product to reduce the wear caused by clamping with the workpiece.
[0022] In this embodiment, after the lathe completes the processing of the workpiece, the operation of the No. 2 driving device 5 and the No. 1 driving device 4 is controlled to control the connecting member 6 to move along the Z axis until it contacts the workpiece. At this time, the three-claw gripper 14 opens the claws and then tightens them to install and clamp the workpiece. Then the connecting member 6 is reset, and the No. 2 driving device 5 controls the connecting frame 8 to move along the Y axis and move downward. At the same time, the steering device 10 is started to rotate the three-claw gripper 14 on the side to face downward, and the workpiece is installed on the workpiece fixing panel 11. After the workpiece is installed on a workpiece fixing panel 11, the No. 3 driving device 13 drives the cross The mobile machine 3 starts to operate, moves the workpiece fixing panel 11 filled with workpieces to one side, and moves the workpiece fixing panel 11 without workpieces installed to the bottom of the Z-axis moving frame 2, and continues to work. In this way, the degree of automation is high, and the workpieces can be automatically picked up and placed. Compared with manual installation, it is safer and will not damage the product.

After the workpiece is installed, the alternating moving machine 3 is started to move the other workpiece fixing panel 11, and the material is continued manually. Then the No. 2 driving device 5 is turned on to control the connecting frame 8 to move downward. At the same time, the three-claw gripper 14 located below is opened until it can contact the workpiece. Then the three-claw gripper 14 is closed to clamp the workpiece, and then the connecting frame 8 is controlled to move upward to take the workpiece out. Then the steering device 10 is started to flip the workpiece horizontally, and the No. 1 driving device 4 is started. Move the connecting piece 6 until the workpiece is moved into the clamping chuck in the lathe. After the clamping chuck is clamped and fixed, the three-jaw gripper 14 is loosened and the connecting piece 6 is retracted to one side. After the workpiece processing is completed, the workpiece is re-clamped and the processed workpiece is installed on the workpiece fixing panel 11 using the steps opposite to the above method. When all the workpieces on the workpiece fixing panel 11 are processed, the alternating moving machine 3 is turned on again, the two workpiece fixing panels 11 are exchanged, and the worker takes out the processed workpiece and re-installs the workpiece to be processed on the workpiece fixing panel 11, and the cycle is repeated.
