[0004] When using the above technology, we found that the following technical problems exist in the prior art: when the prior art clamps the workpiece, due to the harsh working environment of the machine tool processing, the dust and particles on the surface of the workpiece will cause the electric clamp to detach, thereby causing damage to the workpiece. For this reason, we designed a lathe loading and unloading robot to provide another technical solution to the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a lathe loading and unloading robot to address the above-mentioned technical problems. The robot can be adjusted in multiple directions through the base, telescopic arm, linkage arm and support arm, thereby driving the support block and the electric gripper to clamp the workpiece. The air is blown out from the slide along the duct through the output end of the fan, thereby cleaning the dust on the surface of the workpiece and improving the clamping stability of the electric gripper.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4A lathe loading and unloading manipulator comprises a base 1, the top of the base 1 is rotatably connected to a support arm 12, the top of the support arm 12 is rotatably connected to a linkage arm 2, one end of the linkage arm 2 is fixed to a telescopic arm 3, the output end of the telescopic arm 3 is fixed to a support block 7, both sides of the support block 7 are rotatably connected to electric grippers 4, a fan 5 is fixed to one side of the support arm 12, a connecting pipe 11 is fixed inside the support block 7, the output end of the fan 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 11 through a conduit, and the bottom end of the outer side of the connecting pipe 11 is slidably connected to a slide cylinder 9,

[0029] The base 1, telescopic arm 3, linkage arm 2 and support arm 12 are adjusted in multiple directions, thereby driving the support block 7 and the electric gripper 4 to grip the workpiece, and the air is blown out from the slide 9 along the conduit through the output end of the fan 5, thereby cleaning the dust on the surface of the workpiece and improving the gripping stability of the electric gripper 4;

[0030] The two ends of the support block 7 are fixed with limiting grooves 8, and the inner side of the limiting grooves 8 is slidably connected with the slide cylinder 9;

[0031] The slide cylinder 9 is limited by the limiting groove 8, so that the slide cylinder 9 can be extended and retracted with the support block 7;

[0032] A limit ring 13 is fixed to the bottom end of the outer side of the connecting tube 11, and springs 14 are evenly fixed to the top of the limit ring 13. The top of the spring 14 is fixed to the slide cylinder 9, and a wind resistance cylinder 10 is fixed to the inner side of the slide cylinder 9. Wind resistance blades 15 are evenly fixed between the wind resistance cylinder 10 and the wind resistance blades 15, and a blowing port is opened at the bottom end of the slide cylinder 9;

[0033] When the electric gripper 4 clamps the workpiece, the air is made to flow out from the blowing port of the slide cylinder 9 along the conduit through the output end of the fan 5, and the design of the wind resistance cylinder 10 and the wind resistance blade 15 blocks the air, so that the wind resistance cylinder 10 and the wind resistance blade 15 block the air and drive the slide cylinder 9 to slide toward the workpiece, thereby compressing the spring 14, so that the slide cylinder 9 can extend out of the support block 7 to clean the workpiece, thereby improving the cleanliness of the workpiece surface;

Since the above-mentioned base 1, linkage arm 2, telescopic arm 3, electric clamp 4, support block 7 and support arm 12 are existing public technologies, they are not elaborated in detail here. When the electric clamp 4 clamps the workpiece, the air is discharged from the blowing port of the slide 9 along the duct through the output end of the fan 5, and the design of the wind resistance cylinder 10 and the wind resistance blade 15 blocks the gas, and then the gas drives the slide 9 to clean the workpiece in the direction of the workpiece, thereby improving the cleanliness of the workpiece surface and improving the stability of the clamping of the electric clamp 4.
