[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9 The present embodiment provides a wood soaking robot, including a mounting base 1, wherein the mounting base 1 is provided with two slides 4 which can move synchronously in opposite directions on a guide rail 3 through a double-rod cylinder 2, and the bottom of the slide 4 is provided with a clamping jaw 5 which is integrally formed therewith, and a limit block 51 can be detachably installed on the clamping jaw 5 through a connecting screw 52, and a plurality of positioning holes 53 which cooperate with the connecting screw 52 are opened on the clamping jaw 5.
[0031] In the utility model, during the soaking process of wood, the manipulator is used to realize the handling and moving of the processed wood. When the manipulator is working, the manipulator is connected to the mechanical arm through the connecting frame on the top of the mounting seat 1, so that the mechanical arm can drive the manipulator to move. When the mechanical arm drives the manipulator to move to the position of the wood to be clamped, the manipulator moves downward so that the two clamping claws 5 are located on both sides of the wood to be clamped. At this time, the double-rod cylinder 2 in the mounting seat 1 is started and retracted. When the double-rod cylinder 2 is retracted, its two output ends drive the slide 4 to move synchronously on the guide rail 3. The movement of the slide 4 drives the two clamping claws 5 to realize synchronous retraction. When the clamping claws 5 are retracted, the two clamping claws 5 clamp and fix the wood, thereby realizing the grabbing of the wood. The mechanical arm cooperates with multiple manipulators to effectively move the wood to be soaked into the soaking pool;
[0032] The detachably connected limit block 51 on the clamp 5 cooperates with the clamp 5 to clamp the wood more firmly, and the several positioning holes 53 opened on the clamp 5 along its length direction can adjust the limit block 51 to different positions. By adjusting the position of the limit block 51, the clamp 5 can be flexibly adapted to wood of different widths, ensuring that various woods can be stably and effectively limited, thereby improving the versatility of the manipulator, and by reasonably adjusting the position of the limit block 51, the contact points between the clamp 5 and the wood can be more reasonably distributed, so that the gripping force is evenly distributed on the surface of the wood, reducing the risk of wood slipping or damage due to uneven force.
[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a chip removal mechanism 6 for cleaning wood chips and dust on the robot is arranged on the outside of the mounting base 1, and the chip removal mechanism 6 includes a mounting box 61 detachably mounted on the mounting base 1, and a draft fan 62 and a filter screen 63 located in the air inlet direction of the draft fan 62 are arranged inside the mounting box 61, and a pipe assembly 64 connected to the clamping jaw 5 is arranged on the mounting box 61, and the pipe assembly 64 includes a pipe joint 641 connected to the mounting box 61, and an absorption pipe 642 passing through the clamping jaw 5, and the pipe joint 641 is connected to the absorption pipe 642 via a connecting hose 643.
[0034] When the manipulator is used to grab the wood, the induced draft fan 62 in the installation box 61 is started to discharge the air in the installation box 61 from the exhaust port on one side thereof, thereby generating negative pressure suction inside the installation box 61. The negative pressure suction is transmitted to the absorption pipe 642 through the connecting hose 643 on the pipe joint 641. The absorption pipe 642 passes through the clamping jaws 5 and is located above the limit block 51. When the manipulator clamps the wood, the negative pressure suction in the installation box 61 can suck the wood chips and dust attached to the wood into the installation box 61, and then filter them through the filter net 63, thereby absorbing the wood chips and dust on the wood. Since the clamping jaws 5 move when clamping the wood, the suction pipe 642 passes through the clamping jaws 5 and is located above the limit block 51. The absorption tube 642 and the pipe joint 641 are connected by a connecting hose 643 to ensure that the suction force can absorb the wood chips and dust without affecting the movement of the clamping claw 5. The wood chips and dust adhering to the surface of the wood can be absorbed and cleaned by the chip removal mechanism 6 when the manipulator clamps the wood, preventing the wood chips and dust from entering the soaking liquid along with the wood and causing contamination of the soaking liquid. It also avoids the wood chips and dust from hindering the full contact between the soaking liquid and the wood, so that the soaking liquid can better penetrate into the interior of the wood, ensuring uniform soaking and improving the soaking quality of the wood. In addition, the chip removal mechanism 6 can prevent wood chips and dust from entering the interior of the manipulator, avoid wear of key components inside the manipulator, and extend the service life of the manipulator.
[0035] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the chip removal mechanism 6 also includes a collecting assembly 65 arranged at the bottom of the installation box 61, and the collecting assembly 65 includes a collecting bucket 651 connected to the installation box 61, and a discharge port 652 is arranged at the bottom of the collecting bucket 651, and a sealing cover 653 is threadedly connected to the discharge port 652.
[0036] Among them, the wood chips and dust on the wood enter the installation box 61 and are filtered through the filter screen 63 inside it. As the filter screen 63 intercepts and filters, the filtered wood chips and dust will fall due to gravity when the chip removal mechanism 6 is not working. The fallen wood chips and dust fall into the collecting bucket 651. The operator can unscrew the sealing cover 653 on the discharge port 652 to discharge the wood chips and dust from the discharge port 652 to complete the cleaning work.
[0037] Specifically, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the chip removal mechanism 6 also includes a cleaning component 66, which includes a brush 662 abutting against the filter screen 63 through a fixed plate 661, the fixed plate 661 is connected to the slide seat 4 through a connecting rod 663, the filter screen 63 is detachably connected to the installation box 61 through a positioning plate 631, and the positioning plate 631 is provided with a positioning terminal 632 that passes through the filter screen 63.
[0038] The connecting rod 663 is connected to the slide 4 after passing through the installation box 61 and the installation seat 1. When the double-rod cylinder 2 starts the slide 4 to move to drive the clamping claw 5 to open and close to grab the wood, the movement of the slide 4 will drive the fixed plate 661 to move through the connecting rod 663, and the moving fixed plate 661 will clean the filter surface of the filter 63 through the brush 662, so that the blockage on the filter 63 can be removed in time, so that the filter 63 always maintains a good permeability state, ensuring that the chip removal mechanism 6 continues to filter wood chips and dust efficiently and maintains a stable chip removal performance.
[0039] When the filter 63 is worn out after long-term use and needs to be replaced and repaired, the nut on the positioning end 632 is unscrewed, and then the filter 63 can be pulled out from the positioning end 632 of the positioning plate 631 for disassembly, thereby facilitating the replacement of the filter 63.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
