[0038] In order to grasp the housing and stator of the motor and facilitate the automatic assembly of the motor, this embodiment provides a grasping mechanism and a robot. Figures 1 to 5 The specific contents of this embodiment are described in detail. It should be noted that the first direction mentioned in this embodiment is Figure 1 The X direction in this embodiment is Figure 1 The Y direction in this embodiment is Figure 1 The Z direction in .

[0039] The grabbing mechanism in this embodiment includes a mounting frame 100, a first grabbing module 200 and a second grabbing module 300. The first grabbing module 200 includes a first mounting plate 201, a telescopic member 202 and two first clamping claws 203. The first mounting plate 201 is arranged on the mounting frame 100. The two first clamping claws 203 are arranged on the first mounting plate 201 at intervals along the first direction. One end of the telescopic member 202 is connected to one of the first clamping claws 203, and the other end of the telescopic member 202 is connected to the other first clamping claw 203. The telescopic member 202 is used to make the two first clamping claws 203 approach or move away from each other. The second grabbing module 300 includes a second mounting plate 301 and a plurality of clamping claw cylinders 302. The second mounting plate 301 is arranged on the mounting frame 100. The plurality of clamping claw cylinders 302 are arranged on the second mounting plate 301 at intervals along the second direction for simultaneously grabbing multiple stators. The clamping claw cylinder 302 has at least two second clamping claws 3021 that can move radially. Exemplarily, the telescopic member 202 includes a telescopic cylinder, which is connected to the first clamping jaw portion 203 via a floating joint. Each clamping jaw cylinder 302 is vertically arranged along the third direction.

[0040] The grabbing mechanism provided by the utility model comprises a first grabbing module 200 for grabbing the outer shell of the motor, and under the action of the telescopic member 202, the two first clamping claws 203 can be clamped on the outer wall of the outer shell for transportation. The second grabbing module 300 is used to grab the stator of the motor, wherein the interior of the stator is hollow, and the clamping claw cylinder 302 has at least two second clamping claws 3021 that can move radially. After the second clamping claws 3021 are inserted into the inner cavity of the stator, they are radially moved so that the second clamping claws 3021 abut against the inner wall surface of the stator for transportation. The first grabbing module 200 and the second grabbing module 300 are respectively installed on the installation frame 100, and after the installation frame 100 is set on the rotating mechanical arm of the robot, the first grabbing module 200 or the second grabbing module 300 can be switched by rotation, so that the robot with the grabbing mechanism can grab both the outer shell and the stator of the motor, shortening the assembly cycle of the motor and facilitating the mass production of the motor.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 1 Combination Figure 5 As shown, the first grabbing module 200 further includes a guide rail 204 and a slide 205. The guide rail 204 is disposed on the first mounting plate 201 and extends along the first direction. The slide 205 is disposed at the bottom of the first clamping jaw portion 203 and is slidably connected to the guide rail 204. By adding the guide rail 204 and the slide 205, the first clamping jaw portion 203 can be slidably disposed on the first mounting plate 201, thereby reducing the movement resistance of the first clamping jaw portion 203.

[0042] Furthermore, the first gripping module 200 further includes a first stroke limiter 206 and a second stroke limiter 207, which are spaced apart along the first direction on the first mounting plate 201, and the slide 205 is located between the first stroke limiter and the second stroke limiter. The spacing between the first stroke limiter 206 and the second stroke limiter 207 is designed according to actual use needs, and by adding the first stroke limiter 206 and the second stroke limiter 207, the movable stroke range of the first clamping claw portion 203 on the slide 205 can be limited.

[0043] Optionally, the first gripping module 200 further includes two position detection sensors 208, a Z-shaped connecting plate 209 is provided on the side wall of the first mounting plate 201, and the two position detection sensors 208 are arranged on the Z-shaped connecting plate 209 at intervals along the first direction, and a column 2051 is provided on the side wall of the slide 205, and the column 2051 is used to shield the position detection sensor 208. The position information of the two position detection sensors 208 has been calibrated in advance in the PLC controller, and when the column 2051 shields the corresponding position detection sensor 208, the controller can know the position of the first clamping claw part 203 on the first mounting plate 201. The two position detection sensors 208 can be used to determine whether the first gripping module 200 is tightened and loosened in place, and the extension or retraction position of the cylinder can be detected more accurately.

[0044] Optionally, a strip hole 2091 extending along the first direction is provided on the Z-shaped connecting plate 209. A threaded column is provided on the position detection sensor 208, and the position detection sensor 208 is mounted on the strip hole 2091 through a nut. Since the strip hole 2091 extends along the first direction, it is convenient for an operator to adjust the position detection sensor 208 along the first direction.

[0045] Furthermore, the mounting frame 100 includes a first mounting frame 101, a second mounting frame 102, and a third mounting frame 103 connected in sequence, a first mounting plate 201 is arranged on the first mounting frame 101, a second mounting plate 301 is arranged on the second mounting frame 102, and the third mounting frame 103 is used to connect the rotating mechanical arm of the robot. The first mounting frame 101, the second mounting frame 102, and the third mounting frame 103 form a triangular stable structure, which improves the overall structural strength of the mounting frame 100.

[0046] Exemplarily, the first mounting frame 101 extends along a first direction, the second mounting frame 102 extends along a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The mounting frame 100 is a right triangle structure, and a quick-change plate 400 is provided on the third mounting frame 103. The quick-change plate 400 is detachably connected to the rotating mechanical arm of the robot. This function can better meet the assembly requirements of more different models of motors.

[0047] Further, the first gripping module 200 further includes a base plate 2010 having a positioning pin 20101, and a connection hole 2031 is provided at the top of each first clamping claw portion 203, and a fastener 2011 passes through the connection hole 2031 and is connected to the base plate 2010. The base plate 2010 can be replaced for different shells to meet the requirements of compatibility with different shells. Optionally, the fastener 2011 can be, but is not limited to, a bolt or a screw.

[0048] Furthermore, a positioning strip 2012 with a first limiting step is provided on the inner wall of the first clamping jaw 203, and a second limiting step is provided on the side of the substrate 2010, and the second limiting step abuts against the first limiting step. The positioning strip 2012 can limit the substrate 2010 by the misaligned cooperation between the first limiting step and the second limiting step.

[0049] Alternatively, if Figure 1 Combination Figure 3 As shown, a self-reflective photoelectric sensor 500 is installed on both the first mounting plate 201 and the second mounting plate 301 to detect whether the gripping claw of the gripping module has grasped an object. The self-reflective photoelectric sensor 500, also known as a reflective photoelectric sensor or a mirror-reflective photoelectric sensor, is a sensor that uses optical principles to detect, measure and judge object properties or environmental conditions. Its working principle is mainly based on the photoelectric effect and reflection principle. A beam of light is generated by a built-in light emitting diode (LED) or laser or other emitting light source. The light is reflected by the object to be measured and received by the photosensitive element, and then processed by the relevant circuit to obtain the required information.

[0050] This embodiment also provides a robot, which includes a rotating robotic arm and the grasping mechanism mentioned above. The mounting frame 100 of the grasping mechanism is connected to the rotating robotic arm, and can grasp the housing and stator of the motor, which is helpful for the automated assembly of the motor.

[0051] Note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described here, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
