[0002] In the field of material handling, the application of robot loading and unloading suction cup mechanisms is becoming increasingly widespread and has become an indispensable part of industrial automation production. However, there are many problems with traditional loading and unloading suction cup mechanisms in practical applications. Traditional loading and unloading suction cup mechanisms often adopt a fixed structure, which is difficult to achieve flexible adjustment. As a result, in practical applications, it is often necessary to replace the entire suction cup mechanism according to the needs of different materials, which not only increases costs but also reduces production efficiency. In addition, the complex structure not only increases the difficulty of manufacturing and maintenance, but also reduces the reliability of the mechanism.

[0003] And it is impossible to realize uninterrupted automatic loading of adjacent workstations. The single machine single workbench mode makes the material handling efficiency low and cannot meet the needs of one machine for multiple uses. This not only limits the flexibility of the production line, but also increases the operating costs of the enterprise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution for a robot supporting a loading and unloading suction cup mechanism: comprising a multi-degree-of-freedom robot 1, the output end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robot 1 is connected to a suction cup top seat 2, a suction cup mechanism is arranged below the suction cup top seat 2, and the suction cup mechanism comprises a left adsorption iron plate 24 and a right adsorption iron plate 23, and a plurality of strong magnet blocks 26 are arranged in an array at the bottom of the left adsorption iron plate 24 and the right adsorption iron plate 23, and a suction cup seat 27 is installed at the bottom of each strong magnet block 26, and a vacuum suction cup 28 is arranged at the end of the suction cup seat 27. The strong magnet block 26 is magnetically connected to the left adsorption iron plate 24 and the right adsorption iron plate 23, and the layout of the vacuum suction cup 28 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the material by magnetic adsorption of the strong magnet block 26, so as to adapt to the handling requirements of different material sizes. During adjustment, applying a force from the side along the strong magnet block 26 can easily move the suction cup position, achieving safety and reliability while providing an easy debugging method for the debugging personnel. This design not only improves the flexibility of the mechanism, but also reduces the cost of replacing the entire suction cup mechanism.

[0021] Among them, multiple groups of horizontal profiles 21 are arranged in parallel on the top of the left adsorption iron plate 24 and the right adsorption iron plate 23, and multiple groups of reinforcement profiles 22 are arranged between adjacent horizontal profiles 21. The suction cup top seat 2 is connected with the horizontal profiles 21 and the reinforcement profiles 22, which improves the stability and bearing capacity of the overall structure.

[0022] Among them, guide strips 25 are installed between the side of the horizontal profile 21 and the left adsorption iron plate 24 and the right adsorption iron plate 23. The guide strips 25 are set in an L shape. A plurality of locking holes 251 are set on the guide strips 25, and the lower locking holes are assembled and connected with the iron plate by bolts, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the positions of the left adsorption iron plate 24, the right adsorption iron plate 23 and the vacuum suction cup 28. A slide groove 211 is set on the horizontal profile 21, and the guide strips 25 are slidably connected with the slide groove 211. The upper locking holes are locked and fixed by bolts. The guide strips 25 can slide along the slide groove 211 and be locked and fixed by bolts, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the positions of the left adsorption iron plate 24, the right adsorption iron plate 23 and the vacuum suction cup 28. The spacing between the left adsorption iron plate 24 and the right adsorption iron plate 23 can be adjusted to adapt to different material sizes, and accurate positioning can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of material handling.

[0023] Working principle: When in use, first install the suction cup mechanism of the utility model at the output end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robot 1 to ensure a stable and reliable connection. Then, according to the size and shape of the material to be transported, by adjusting the position of the strong magnet block 26, the layout of the vacuum suction cup 28 is flexibly adjusted to adapt to different material sizes. During the adjustment process, a force can be applied along the side of the strong magnet block 26 to easily move the suction cup position, thereby achieving fast and accurate layout adjustment.

[0024] Next, the suction cup mechanism is moved to the top of the material to be transported through the precise control of the multi-degree-of-freedom robot 1. Then, the vacuum suction cup 28 is started to generate negative pressure to firmly adsorb the material on the suction cup. During the adsorption process, the adsorption strength of the vacuum suction cup 28 can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the material will not fall off or be damaged.

[0025] After the adsorption is completed, the multi-degree-of-freedom robot 1 will carry the material to the target position according to the preset path and speed. During the handling process, the design of the guide bar 25 and the slide 211 will ensure the stability and positioning accuracy of the suction cup mechanism, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of material handling.

[0026] After reaching the target position, the multi-degree-of-freedom robot 1 will stop moving and control the vacuum suction cup 28 to release the material. At this time, the material will be placed stably at the target position, completing the entire loading and unloading process.

[0027] Through the robot supporting the loading and unloading suction cup mechanism of the utility model, automated, efficient and accurate material handling can be achieved. At the same time, due to the flexibility and adjustability of the suction cup mechanism, the mechanism can adapt to materials of different sizes and shapes, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the production line. In addition, the mechanism also has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing and maintenance, etc., which reduces the operating cost of the enterprise and improves production efficiency.
