Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts stamping, and in particular to a flip-type end picker. Background Art

[0002] A car is made up of many parts. When producing some auto parts with complex shapes, it is inevitable to stamp both the front and back sides of the parts. Therefore, after the parts are stamped in the previous process, they need to be flipped over and transferred to the next process.

[0003] When stamping the front and back sides of a part, after the part is stamped on the stamping equipment of the previous process, the worker removes the part from the stamping equipment, manually flips it over, and then puts it back on the stamping equipment of the next process, thereby completing the stamping of the front and back sides of the part. However, some automotive parts are heavy and large in size, and it is difficult for workers to manually flip the parts. Multiple workers are required to work together to flip them, and the flipping process takes a lot of time and effort, which seriously reduces the stamping efficiency of the parts and has obvious shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to realize automatic flipping of automobile parts and improve the stamping efficiency of parts, the present application provides a flipping end picker.

[0005] The present application provides a flip-type end picker adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A flip-type end picker comprises a support frame and a manipulator, wherein the support frame is rotatably connected to a flip shaft, the flip shaft is provided with a female disk, the free end of the manipulator is provided with a male disk, the flip shaft and the manipulator are fixedly connected via the male disk and the female disk, the manipulator is used to drive the flip shaft to flip, the flip shaft is provided with a fixing frame, the fixing frame is provided with mounting plates at both opposite ends, each of the mounting plates is provided with a storage frame, and each of the storage frames is provided with a plurality of magnetic suction components for fixing parts.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when stamping the front and back sides of the parts, the robot located near the first process removes the parts from the stamping equipment and transfers them to one end of the storage rack. The magnetic suction component on the storage rack absorbs the parts, and the male disk of the robot arm is connected to the female disk on the flip shaft. The robot drives the flip shaft to rotate, and the flip shaft drives the parts to flip through the storage rack. Then the robot located near the second process removes the flipped parts and transfers them to the stamping equipment. This arrangement realizes the automatic flipping and transportation of parts. The entire stamping process does not require workers to manually carry and fliping, which saves time and effort and improves the stamping efficiency of parts.

[0008] Optionally, the male disk is provided with a plug post, the female disk is provided with a socket that slidably cooperates with the plug post, a slider is provided at one end of the plug post, the inner side wall of the socket is provided with a sliding groove that slidably cooperates with the slider, the inner bottom wall of the socket is provided with an arc groove connected to the sliding groove, a spring is provided on the inner bottom wall of the socket, one end of the spring is connected to a clamping plate, one end of the clamping plate is inserted into the arc groove and slidably cooperates with the arc groove, a clamping groove for inserting the slider is provided on the side wall of the arc groove, and when the spring is in a natural state, the slider is clamped in the clamping groove by the clamping plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when flipping is required, the manipulator drives the plug post to be inserted into the socket, and when the bottom surface of the plug post contacts the surface of the clamping plate, the manipulator presses the plug post. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the slider is transferred from the slide groove to the arc groove. The plug post is rotated to make the slider slide from the arc groove to the connection with the clamping groove. Then the manipulator cancels the downward force on the plug post, and the spring reset drives the clamping plate to reset. The clamping plate clamps the slider in the clamping groove, and the plug post is connected to the inside of the socket. Such a setting only requires simple pressing and rotating operations to achieve a quick connection between the male disk and the female disk, thereby shortening the connection time between the manipulator and the flipping axis, further improving the stamping efficiency of the parts.

[0010] Optionally, the magnetic attraction component includes a strong magnetic cylinder, and a strong magnetic block is fixedly connected to the piston shaft of the strong magnetic cylinder.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the parts are transferred to the storage rack, the strong magnetic cylinder pushes the strong magnetic block to contact the parts. At this time, the strong magnetic block starts to produce strong magnetic attraction to the parts. The method of fixing the parts with strong magnetic cylinder and strong magnetic block avoids the possibility of damage to the parts caused by traditional mechanical clamps. At the same time, the magnetic attraction and fixation are highly flexible and suitable for fixing parts of different shapes.

[0012] Optionally, the storage rack body includes a vertically arranged connecting rack, mounting racks are arranged at both ends of the connecting rack, and adjustment grooves are provided on the end surfaces of the connecting rack where the mounting rack and the mounting plate are connected, and the length direction of the adjustment grooves is parallel to the length direction of the connecting rack, and the mounting rack and the mounting plate are slidingly matched with the connecting rack through the adjustment grooves, and a fixing component for fixing the mounting rack and the mounting plate to the connecting rack is provided on the storage rack body.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, the change of the shape of the stamped part may change the adsorption point of the magnetic suction component. In order to ensure the adsorption effect of the magnetic suction component, the mounting frame is slid by adjusting the groove to move the magnetic suction component to a position suitable for adsorbing the part, and then the position of the mounting frame on the connecting frame is fixed by the fixing component. At the same time, when the volume of the part becomes larger, in order to avoid the part from hitting the support frame or the ground and causing damage to the part, the storage rack is slid by adjusting the groove to move the storage rack to an appropriate position on the flip axis, and then the storage rack is fixed to the mounting plate by the fixing component. This arrangement realizes the change of the position of the magnetic suction component and the storage rack, ensuring the smooth progress of the part flipping process.

[0014] Optionally, the fixing assembly includes a fixing block slidably connected to the inside of the adjusting groove, and tightening blocks are provided at both ends of the fixing block. Tightening grooves cooperating with the tightening blocks are provided on the side walls opposite to the adjusting groove. A screw rod is provided on the fixing block, and through holes slidably cooperating with the screw rod are provided on the mounting plate and the mounting frame, and a nut is threadedly connected to the screw rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the storage rack or the mounting rack, loosen the nut until the screw rotates, and the rotation of the screw drives the fixed block to rotate, and the rotation of the fixed block drives the clamping block to move into the adjustment groove. At this time, the clamping effect of the clamping block disappears. After the worker slides the storage rack and the mounting rack to the appropriate position, turn the nut again to rotate the screw. When the screw drives the clamping block to clamp inside the clamping groove, the screw cannot continue to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the nut drives the nut to move on the screw. When the nut is clamped on the mounting plate or the mounting rack, the position of the connecting rack and the storage rack is fixed, and the adjustment work is completed.

[0016] Optionally, a connecting ear plate is provided on the strong magnetic cylinder, and a mounting groove which is slidably matched with the connecting ear plate is opened on the mounting frame, and the connecting ear plate is detachably connected to the mounting groove by the fixing bolt.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the connecting ear plate on the mounting groove can be changed by removing the fixing bolts, which further facilitates workers to change the adsorption position of the magnetic suction component according to the shape of the part, thereby ensuring the smooth adsorption of the magnetic suction component.

[0018] Optionally, the two mounting plates are detachably connected to the fixing frame via the connecting bolts.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage rack can be disassembled on the flip axis through the detachable connection between the mounting plate and the mounting frame. When the storage rack is damaged, the worker can replace the storage rack by removing the connecting bolts, which improves the convenience of the worker's operation.

[0020] Optionally, an anti-skid pad is provided on the strong magnetic cylinder, the anti-skid pad is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the strong magnetic block, and a plurality of anti-skid protrusions are provided on the surface of the anti-skid pad.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the provision of the anti-skid pad and the anti-skid protrusion increases the friction between the strong magnetic block and the parts when they are in contact, thereby reducing the possibility of the parts sliding on the surface of the strong magnetic block and improving the stability of the fixation of the magnetic suction component.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The present application sets a manipulator, a male plate, a female plate and a turning shaft. The manipulator is quickly connected to the turning shaft through the male plate and the female plate, and the turning shaft is turned by the manipulator. Such a setting realizes the automatic turning and transportation of parts. The entire stamping process does not require manual handling and turning by workers, which saves time and labor, and improves the stamping efficiency of parts;

[0024] 2. The present application provides an adjustment slot and a fixing component to adjust the position of the magnetic component on the connecting frame, thereby ensuring stable adsorption of the parts by the magnetic component. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses a flip-type end picker.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 A flipping end picker includes a support frame 01 and a manipulator 02. The support frame 01 is installed between two stamping devices. A flip shaft 1 is rotatably connected to the support frame 01 through a bearing. The top of the flip shaft 1 is fixedly connected to a female disk 2. The free end of the manipulator 02 is fixedly connected to a male disk 3. The flip shaft 1 and the manipulator 02 are fixedly connected through the male disk 3 and the female disk 2. The manipulator 02 is used to drive the flip shaft 1 to realize the flipping operation.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The end of the flip axis 1 away from the mother disk 2 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 4, and the two opposite end surfaces of the fixing frame 4 are detachably connected to a mounting plate 42 through connecting bolts 41. A storage frame 5 is arranged on the mounting plate 42, and the storage frame 5 includes a vertically arranged connecting frame 51, and mounting frames 52 are arranged at both ends of the connecting frame 51 parallel to the length direction. The mounting frame 52 is horizontally arranged and L-shaped, and a plurality of magnetic suction components 6 for fixing parts are arranged on the mounting frame 52. In the present embodiment, three magnetic suction components 6 are arranged on each mounting frame 52.

[0037] Reference Figure 1When stamping the front and back sides of the parts, the robot located near the first process removes the parts from the stamping equipment and transfers them to one end of the storage rack 5. The magnetic suction component 6 on the storage rack 5 absorbs the parts, and the male disk 3 of the robot 02 is connected to the female disk 2 on the flip axis 1. The robot 02 drives the flip axis 1 to rotate, and the flip axis 1 drives the storage rack 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the storage rack 5, the parts to be stamped are flipped to the other side of the flip axis 1. At the same time, the storage rack 5 in an unloaded state moves to the other end to prepare to receive new parts. Then the robot located near the second process removes the flipped parts and transfers them to the stamping equipment. This setting realizes the automatic flipping and transportation of parts. The entire stamping process does not require workers to manually carry and flip, which saves time and effort and improves the stamping efficiency of parts.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom surface of the male disk 3 on the manipulator 02 is fixedly connected with a plug post 31, and the female disk 2 is provided with a socket 21 that slides with the plug post 31. Two sliders 311 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug post 31 near one end of the female disk 2. A slide groove 211 for sliding the two sliders 311 is provided on the inner side wall opposite to the socket 21. An arc groove 212 corresponding to and communicating with the two slide grooves 211 is provided on the inner peripheral side wall of the socket 21. A spring 213 is provided in the socket 21. The spring 213 One end is connected to the inner bottom wall of the socket 21, and the other end is connected to a clamping plate 214, which includes an integrally formed circular bottom plate and two arc-shaped plug-in plates, which are inserted into the corresponding arc-shaped grooves 212 and slidably matched with the arc-shaped grooves 212. The inner side walls of the two arc-shaped grooves 212 are provided with clamping grooves 215 that are clamped with two sliders 311. When the spring 213 is in a natural state, the two sliders 311 are clamped inside the clamping grooves 215 by the clamping plate 214.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3When the flip shaft 1 needs to be connected to the robot 02, the robot 02 drives the plug post 31 to be inserted into the socket 21. When the bottom surface of the plug post 31 contacts the surface of the clamping plate 214, the robot 02 presses the plug post 31 downward. At this time, the spring 213 is compressed, and the slider 311 moves from the slide groove 211 to the arc groove 212. The robot 02 rotates the plug post 31 to make the slider 311 slide from the arc groove 212 to the connection with the clamping groove 215. Then the robot 02 cancels the push of the plug post 31. Under the action of the downward force, the spring 213 is reset, driving the clamping plate 214 to reset, and the clamping plate 214 presses the slider 311 in the clamping groove 215. Under the restriction of the clamping groove 215, the plug post 31 cannot rotate in the socket 21, thereby realizing the connection between the manipulator 02 and the flip shaft 1. Such a setting only requires simple pressing and rotating operations to realize the quick connection between the male disk 3 and the female disk 2, thereby shortening the connection time between the manipulator 02 and the flip shaft 1, and further improving the stamping efficiency of the parts.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 The magnetic attraction component 6 includes a strong magnetic cylinder 61 arranged on the mounting frame 52, and a strong magnetic block 62 is fixedly connected to the piston shaft of the strong magnetic cylinder 61. An anti-skid pad 7 is fixedly connected to the strong magnetic cylinder 61. The anti-skid pad 7 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the strong magnetic block 62, and a plurality of anti-skid protrusions 71 are connected to the surface of the anti-skid pad 7. In the present embodiment, the anti-skid pad 7 and the anti-skid protrusions 71 are both made of rubber material. When the parts are transferred to the storage rack 5, the strong magnetic cylinder 61 pushes the strong magnetic block 62 to contact the parts. At this time, the strong magnetic block 62 starts to produce strong magnetic attraction of the parts. At the same time, the anti-skid pad 7 and the anti-skid protrusions 71 increase the friction force when the strong magnetic block 62 contacts the parts, reduce the possibility of the parts sliding on the surface of the strong magnetic block 62, and improve the stability of the fixation of the magnetic attraction component 6.

[0041] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The change in the shape of the stamped parts may change the optimal adsorption point of the magnetic component 6, and the adsorption effect of the magnetic component 6 on the parts will become worse. At the same time, when the size of the parts changes, the parts may come into contact with the support frame 01 or the ground after being transferred to the storage rack 5, causing the parts to be damaged by bumps and the like during the flipping process.

[0042] In order to solve the above problems, adjustment grooves 8 are provided on the end surfaces where the connecting frame 51 is connected to the mounting frame 52 and the mounting plate 42. The length direction of the adjustment grooves 8 is parallel to the length direction of the connecting frame 51. The mounting frame 52 and the mounting plate 42 are slidably connected to the connecting frame 51 through the adjustment grooves 8, and a fixing component 9 is provided on the storage rack 5.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The fixing assembly 9 includes a fixing block 91 slidably connected to the inside of the adjusting groove 8, and a tightening block 92 is integrally formed at both ends of the fixing block 91. A tightening groove 81 cooperating with the tightening block 92 is provided on the inner side wall opposite to the adjusting groove 8. A screw 93 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 91, and a through hole 10 slidably cooperating with the screw 93 is provided on the mounting plate 42 and the mounting frame 52. A nut 94 is threadedly connected to the end of the screw 93 away from the fixing block 91.

[0044] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the storage rack 5 or the mounting rack 52, the nut 94 is loosened until the screw 93 rotates. The rotation of the screw 93 drives the fixing block 91 to rotate. The rotation of the fixing block 91 drives the tightening block 92 to move into the adjustment slot 8. At this time, the tightening effect of the tightening block 92 disappears. After the worker slides the storage rack 5 and the mounting rack 52 to the appropriate position, the nut 94 is turned again to rotate the screw 93. When the screw 93 drives the tightening block 92 to tighten against the inside of the tightening slot 81, the screw 93 cannot continue to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the nut 94 drives the nut 94 to move on the screw 93. When the nut 94 is tightened against the mounting plate 42 or the mounting rack 52, the position of the connecting rack 51 and the storage rack 5 is fixed, and the adjustment work is completed.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to further improve the flexibility of the position of the strong magnetic component, a connecting ear plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the strong magnetic cylinder 61, and a mounting groove 12 that slides with the connecting ear plate 11 is opened on the mounting frame 52. The connecting ear plate 11 is detachably connected to the mounting groove 12 by a fixing bolt 13.

[0046] When the position of the magnetic attraction component 6 on the mounting bracket 52 needs to be adjusted, the worker loosens the fixing bolt 13 and then slides the connecting ear plate 11. When the connecting ear plate 11 drives the strong magnetic cylinder 61 to move to a suitable position, the fixing bolt 13 is tightened.

[0047] The implementation principle of a flip-type end picker in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when stamping the front and back sides of a part, a robot located near the first process removes the part from the stamping equipment and transfers it to one end of the storage rack 5, and the magnetic suction component 6 on the storage rack 5 absorbs the part, and then the robot 02 drives the plug post 31 to insert into the inside of the socket 21, and when the bottom surface of the plug post 31 contacts the surface of the clamping plate 214, the robot 02 presses the plug post 31 downward, and at this time the spring 213 is compressed, and the slider 311 moves from the slide groove 211 to the arc groove 212, and the robot 02 rotates the plug post 31 to make the slider 311 slide from the arc groove 212 to the connection with the clamping groove 215, and then the robot 02 cancels the downward force on the plug post 31, and the spring 213 resets the belt The movable clamping plate 214 is reset, and the clamping plate 214 presses the slider 311 in the clamping groove 215. Under the restriction of the clamping groove 215, the plug post 31 cannot rotate in the socket 21, and the connection between the manipulator 02 and the flip axis 1 is completed. The manipulator 02 drives the flip axis 1 to rotate, and the flip axis 1 drives the storage rack 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the storage rack 5, the parts to be stamped are flipped to the other side of the flip axis 1. At the same time, the storage rack 5 in an unloaded state moves to the other end to prepare to receive new parts. Then the robot located near the second process removes the flipped parts and transfers them to the stamping equipment. This setting realizes the automatic flipping and transportation of parts. The entire stamping process does not require workers to manually carry and flip, which saves time and effort and improves the stamping efficiency of parts.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
