[0014] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of a single chuck of the end picker of the utility model;

[0015] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the distribution of four chucks of the end picker of the utility model;

[0016] Figure 4 This is a diagram of the use status of the end picker for removing waste edges after stamping of the utility model (the finished product and the waste edges are separated). DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the specific implementation method thereof is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0018] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The best embodiment of the utility model is an end picker for removing waste edges after stamping, comprising a mechanical arm 1, four chucks 2 and a plurality of vacuum suction cups 3, wherein:

[0019] A mounting plate 4 is provided on the robot arm 1; four chucks 2 are provided on the outer periphery of the mounting plate 4, and the four chucks 2 are distributed at 90 degrees between each other, and a plurality of vacuum suction cups 3 are respectively provided in the middle of the mounting plate 4;

[0020] Each chuck 2 is composed of a fixed rod 21, a movable rod 22, a cylinder 23, a sensor 24, a first adjustment block 25 and a second adjustment block 26. The top of the fixed rod 21 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 4, and the bottom of the fixed rod 21 is connected to the first adjustment block 25; the cylinder 23 and the sensor 24 are arranged on the fixed rod 21 one above and one below; the top of the movable rod 22 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 23, and the bottom of the movable rod 23 is connected to the second adjustment block 26; a clamping space for accommodating the scrap edge is formed between the first adjustment block 25 and the second adjustment block 26. When in use, the vacuum suction cup 3 sucks the product, and the first adjustment block 25 and the second adjustment block 26 of each chuck 2 clamp the scrap edge respectively. The cylinder 23 and the sensor 24 of each chuck 2 are respectively connected to the controller.

[0021] A product sensing sensor 31 is arranged near the vacuum suction cup 3 , and the product sensing sensor 31 is also connected to the controller.

[0022] The end picker for removing waste edge after stamping of the utility model, when in use, after stamping is completed, the middle finished product 6 is sucked by the vacuum suction cup 3, and the position of the finished product 6 is detected by the product sensing sensor 31. When taking materials, the controller controls the cylinder 23 of the four clamps 2 to push out, and the cylinder 23 drives the second adjustment block 26 away from the first adjustment block 25 through the movable rod 23, so that the first adjustment block 25 and the second adjustment block 26 are in an open state, firstly, the waste edge 5 is pressed down by pressing the mechanical arm 1 to ensure that it is separated from the finished product 6, and then the vacuum suction cup 3 is used to suck the finished product 6, and the first adjustment block 25 should just fit the upper end surface of the waste edge 5. At the same time, the sensor 24 detects the existence of the waste edge and feeds back a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the cylinder 23 to change from the push-out state to the retracted state, so that the cylinder 23 drives the second adjustment block 26 to approach the first adjustment block 25 through the movable rod 23, and clamps the waste edge 5. After the product is taken out of the stamping machine by the mobile robot 1, the controller first controls the cylinders 23 of the four chucks 2 to push out, so that the first adjustment block 25 and the second adjustment block 26 are in an open state to release the waste edge 5, and then the finished product 6 is placed in the next sequence for subsequent stamping production.

[0023] The end picker for removing waste edges after stamping of the utility model requires attention during the actual debugging process that the position of the first adjustment block 25 and the second adjustment block 26 of the chuck 2 must be lower than the position of the vacuum suction cup 3 when picking up the material, and the waste edge 5 must be pressed downward when clamping the material. In this way, the position of the waste edge 5 will be lower than the finished product 6 after the material is picked up, so that the waste edge 5 can be completely separated from the finished product 6.

[0024] In summary, the end picker for removing waste edges after stamping of the utility model enables waste materials to be smoothly separated from products, thereby improving stamping efficiency.

[0025] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, any changes or modifications to the above embodiments will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
