Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric power materials, in particular to a gripper of a picking robot. Background Art

[0002] The six major categories of power materials are divided into generators, power equipment, power transmission and transformation equipment, power equipment, power electronic equipment, electromagnetic measuring instruments, etc. Reasonable classification and analysis of power materials can provide a good basis for planning and building warehousing and distribution systems, designing and manufacturing general power loading and unloading equipment, and calculating reasonable storage capacity.

[0003] Most existing electric power materials are picked using robots. Since the shape of the gripper itself is fixed, when faced with electric power materials with different outer wall shapes, the staff is required to replace the gripper at the output end of the robot, which reduces the overall practicality of the device. In addition, the gripper and the robot are mostly fixedly connected by bolt assemblies, so the process of replacing the gripper is too cumbersome, which reduces the overall picking efficiency and increases the workload of the staff.

[0004] In summary, when the above structure is used to face electrical materials with different shapes of outer walls, the staff needs to replace the gripper at the output end of the robot, and the process of replacing the gripper is too cumbersome, which reduces the overall picking efficiency and increases the workload of the staff. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a gripper for a picking robot to solve the technical problem that when facing different electrical materials, the staff needs to replace the gripper at the output end of the robot, and the process of replacing the gripper is too cumbersome, which reduces the overall picking efficiency and increases the workload of the staff.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a gripper of a picking robot, comprising a bracket and an insert block, the top of the bracket is connected to a connecting seat, and a clamping plate is arranged at the bottom of the bracket, a slot cooperating with the insert block is opened in the connecting seat, and a limit rod is elastically arranged in the slot, the outer wall of the insert block is symmetrically provided with limit holes cooperating with the limit rod, an elastic air bag is arranged in the slot, and a clamping air bag cooperating with the elastic air bag is installed on the inner wall of the clamping plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the plug-in block is inserted into the slot of the connecting seat. At this time, the limit rod will slide to both sides, and the limit rod will be inserted into the limit hole under the action of the elastic component, thereby completing the connection of the entire bracket. When the plug-in block is inserted into the inside of the slot, the elastic airbag at the bottom will be squeezed, so that the gas in the elastic airbag is discharged into the clamping airbag. Under the action of the clamping airbag, it is convenient to improve the overall clamping stability when the outer wall of the power material has different shapes.

[0008] The utility model is further configured that an air cavity cooperating with the elastic airbag is arranged in the bracket, and an air pipe is connected to the bottom of the air cavity, and the other end of the air pipe is connected to the clamping airbag.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the elastic airbag is squeezed by the bottom of the insert, the gas in the elastic airbag will be discharged into the air cavity at the bottom, and the gas will be discharged into the clamping airbag along the air pipe under the action of the air pipe.

[0010] The utility model is further configured that one end of the limit rod and the bottom end of the insert block are both configured in an arc shape.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug block slides toward the bottom, the arc-shaped setting makes it easier for the plug block to squeeze the limit rod to both sides, ensuring that the limit rod slides stably in the connecting seat and preventing it from getting stuck during the insertion process.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that the contact surface between the limiting rod and the limiting hole is configured to be rough.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rough setting increases the sliding friction between the two, preventing the limiting rod from slipping out of the limiting hole when it is slightly vibrated.

[0014] The utility model is further configured that the limiting rod is located on the top of the elastic airbag, and the extending end of the limiting rod blocks the elastic airbag.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the plug block will first contact the limit rod during the process of sliding downward, ensuring that the plug block slides vertically in the slot, and subsequently when the plug block slides out of the slot, one end of the limit rod can block the elastic airbag to prevent the airbag from extending too much, causing the clamped airbag to become too deflated.

[0016] The utility model is further configured such that the clamping plate and the bracket are detachably arranged.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and the detachable setting, when facing larger-sized electrical materials, it is convenient for the staff to replace the clamping plate itself, thereby further improving the overall practicality of the device.

[0018] The utility model is further configured such that the outer wall of the insert block is in contact connection with the inner wall of the slot.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the inserting block slides into the slot, it is ensured that the inserting block can slide in a vertical state.

[0020] The utility model is further configured that the outer wall of the limit rod is connected to a sliding block, and a compression spring is connected to one side of the sliding block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the insert block squeezing the limit rod, the compression spring itself will be in a compressed state. Subsequently, when the limit hole and the limit rod are at the same horizontal height, the restoring force of the compression spring itself is used to ensure that the limit rod can be reset and inserted into the inside of the limit hole.

[0022] In summary, the utility model mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The utility model provides a slot in the connecting seat. When connecting, the insert block is inserted into the slot of the connecting seat. At this time, the limit rod will slide to both sides. When the limit hole on the insert block moves to be flush with the limit rod, the limit rod is inserted into the limit hole under the action of the elastic component, thereby completing the connection of the entire bracket. This connection method reduces the disassembly burden of subsequent staff and further improves the overall picking efficiency;

[0024] 2. The utility model provides an elastic airbag in the slot, and an air cavity connected to the elastic airbag is provided in the bracket. When the plug is inserted into the slot, the elastic airbag at the bottom will be squeezed, so that the gas in the elastic airbag is discharged into the air cavity, and then the gas is discharged into the clamping airbag under the action of the air pipe. Under the action of the clamping airbag, it is convenient for power materials with different shapes on the outer wall to improve the overall clamping stability and reduce the frequency of overall replacement of the gripper by the staff.

At this time, the limiting rod 4 will slide to both sides, and when the limiting hole 9 on the insert block 3 moves to be flush with the limiting rod 4, the limiting rod 4 is inserted into the limiting hole 9 under the action of the elastic component, thereby completing the overall connection work of the bracket 1. This connection method reduces the subsequent staff's The burden of disassembly is reduced, and the overall picking efficiency is further improved. An elastic airbag 8 is arranged in the slot 7, and an air cavity 10 cooperating with the elastic airbag 8 is arranged in the bracket 1. An air pipe 11 is connected to the bottom of the air cavity 10, and the other end of the air pipe 11 is connected to the clamping airbag 6. When the elastic airbag 8 is squeezed by the bottom of the plug-in block 3, the gas in the elastic airbag 8 will be discharged into the air cavity 10 at the bottom. Under the action of the air pipe 11, the gas is discharged into the clamping airbag 6 along the air pipe 11, and a clamping airbag 6 is installed on the inner wall of the clamping plate 5. Under the action of the clamping airbag 6, it is convenient for the power materials with different shapes on the outer wall to improve the stability of the overall clamping and reduce the frequency of overall replacement of the gripper by the staff.

[0035] See also Figure 3 One end of the limit rod 4 and the bottom end of the plug block 3 are both arranged in an arc shape. When the plug block 3 slides toward the bottom, the arc shape facilitates the plug block 3 to squeeze the limit rod 4 to both sides, ensuring that the limit rod 4 slides stably in the connecting seat 2 and preventing it from getting stuck during the insertion process.
