DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation modes.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model is a double workpiece handling clamp, including a robot base 1, a robot body 2 and a handling clamp 3, the handling clamp 3 includes a rotating mounting plate 31, a first clamping device 32 and a second clamping device 33, the rotating mounting plate 31 is connected to the head of the robot body 2, the robot body 2 is fixed to the ground or the equipment platform through the robot base 1, and the first clamping device 32 and the second clamping device 33 are connected to both sides of the rotating mounting plate 31.

[0030] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, multi-angle and multi-directional clamping and carrying operations can be realized through the rotation of the robot body 2 and the rotating mounting plate 31 of the carrying clamp 3, so that the clamp can adapt to more complex production environments and workpiece layouts, and enhance the flexibility and convenience of operation. By optimizing the design of the clamping device and cooperating with advanced sensors and control systems, the clamp can achieve high-precision positioning and stable clamping, which is conducive to reducing production errors and workpiece damage caused by inaccurate positioning or unstable clamping, and improving product quality and production stability.

[0031] The first clamping device 32 includes a first clamping cylinder 321 and a first clamping plate 322. The number of the first clamping plates 322 is two. The first clamping plates 322 are respectively installed at both ends of the first clamping cylinder 321. The first clamping cylinder 321 controls the first clamping plates 322 to clamp inwardly and release.

[0032] The second clamping device 33 includes a second clamping cylinder 331 and a second clamping plate 332. The number of the second clamping plates 332 is 2. The second clamping plates 332 are respectively installed at both ends of the second clamping cylinder 331. The second clamping cylinder 331 controls the second clamping plates 332 to clamp inwardly and release.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, each device includes a clamping cylinder and two clamping plates, which are respectively installed at both ends of the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder controls the inward clamping and loosening of the clamping plates, so that the clamping area is wider and the clamping force is more uniform, thereby ensuring that the workpiece can be stably clamped during the transportation process and is not easy to fall off or shift. The clamping cylinder serves as a power source and can accurately control the opening and closing degree and clamping force of the clamping plates, which helps to adapt to workpieces of different sizes and materials and avoid the problem of over-clamping or under-clamping.

[0034] The robot base 1 includes a fixed base 11 and a driving base 12 . The lower end of the fixed base 11 is fixed to the ground or an equipment platform, the driving base 12 is connected to the upper end of the fixed base 11 , and the rear end of the robot body 2 is connected to the driving base 12 .

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower end of the fixed base 11 is fixed to the ground or the equipment platform, providing stable support, so that the entire transport clamp system is not easy to shake or shift during operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of transportation. The design of the driving base 12 enables the robot body 2 to move and turn within a certain range. This flexibility enables the transport clamp to adapt to production lines with different layouts, facilitating the transportation and positioning of workpieces.

[0036] The rotating mounting plate 31 includes a rotating head 311 and a push-pull cylinder 312 . The number of the push-pull cylinders 312 is 2. The push-pull cylinders 312 are respectively installed on both sides of the rotating head 311 . The first clamping cylinder 321 and the second clamping cylinder 331 are respectively installed on the push-pull cylinders 312 on both sides of the rotating head 311 .

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the rotating head 311 enables the entire clamping device to rotate around the rotating head, thereby adapting to the needs of workpiece handling at different angles and directions. The addition of the push-pull cylinder 312 enables the first clamping cylinder 321 and the second clamping cylinder 331 to move accurately under the drive of the push-pull cylinder. The push-pull cylinder 312 can respond quickly, and the clamping and releasing actions of the first clamping cylinder 321 and the second clamping cylinder 331 can be completed quickly, thereby improving the handling efficiency. In addition, by accurately controlling the force and stroke of the push-pull cylinder, it can adapt to workpieces of different sizes and weights and achieve efficient clamping operations.

[0038] The first clamping plate 322 and the second clamping plate 332 are both provided with clamping claws 4 , and the number of the clamping claws 4 provided on the first clamping plate 322 and the second clamping plate 332 is no less than 4.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple clamps 4 act on the workpiece at the same time, which can disperse the clamping force, make the clamping more uniform and stable, reduce the risk of shaking and falling of the workpiece during transportation, and more flexibly adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes. Whether it is a round, square or irregular shaped workpiece, stable clamping can be achieved through a reasonable clamping layout.

[0040] Both ends of the first clamping plate 322 and the second clamping plate 332 are provided with positioning devices 5 , and the positioning devices 5 are pressed against both ends of the workpiece to locate the position of the workpiece when the clamping jaws 4 clamp the workpiece.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the positioning device 5 enables the workpiece to be accurately positioned at a predetermined position during the clamping process. By abutting against both ends of the workpiece, the movement of the workpiece in the horizontal and vertical directions can be limited, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0042] The robot body 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 and a transporting shaft 22. The transporting shaft 22 is installed on one end of the rotating shaft 21 and rotates to work within a horizontal rotation range of 360°. The other end of the rotating shaft 21 is installed on the driving base 12 and rotates to work within a horizontal rotation range of 360°.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating axis 21 and the transport axis 22 can both rotate horizontally 360°, and the robot body 2 can work in an all-round range without being restricted by a fixed direction or angle, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the work. The rotation of the transport axis 22 enables the robot to quickly and accurately transport workpieces in different directions.

[0044] The transport shaft 22 includes a main shaft 221 and a swing shaft 222 . The swing shaft 222 is connected to the rotating shaft 21 . The lower end of the main shaft 221 is connected to the rotating shaft 21 . The main shaft 221 controls the rotation direction and angle of the rotating shaft 21 .

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, the spindle 221 can control the rotation direction and angle of the rotating axis 21, which enables the robot body 2 to flexibly adjust the posture and position of the workpiece during the handling process. If the orientation of the workpiece needs to be changed or it needs to be placed at a specific angle, it can be achieved through the precise control of the spindle 221.

[0046] The first clamping device 32 and the second clamping device 33 are both provided with a mounting block 6 . The mounting block 6 on the first clamping device 32 connects the push-pull cylinder 312 and the first clamping cylinder 321 , and the mounting block 6 on the second clamping device 33 connects the push-pull cylinder 312 and the second clamping cylinder 331 .

[0047] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting block 6 is used as a connecting component, so that the connection between the clamping device, the cylinder and the push-pull cylinder is more modular, which not only simplifies the assembly process of the entire mechanism, but also makes the subsequent maintenance and replacement of parts more convenient. When the cylinder needs to be replaced or the clamping device needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to disassemble and reinstall the mounting block without making large-scale changes to the entire mechanism.

[0048] The driving base 12 is provided with a cable interface 121 , which is arranged on the top side of the driving base 12 .

[0049] During the specific implementation of the utility model, the entire mechanism is first installed on a designated ground or equipment platform, the lower end of the fixed base 11 is fixed to the ground or equipment platform to ensure the stability of the entire robot structure, the driving base 12 is connected to the upper end of the fixed base 11, and is provided with a cable interface 121 for connecting power and signal lines to provide power and control signals for the robot.

[0050] The rear end of the robot body 2 is connected to the driving base 12. Through the control of the driving base 12, the robot body 2 can achieve flexible movement. The robot body 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 and a transport shaft 22, wherein the rotating shaft 21 is responsible for horizontal 360° rotation, and the transport shaft 22 achieves more complex transport movements through the cooperation of the main shaft 221 and the swing shaft 222.

[0051] The carrying clamp 3 is a key part for carrying workpieces. The rotating mounting plate 31 is connected to the head of the robot body 2. Through the cooperation of the rotating head 311 and the push-pull cylinder 312, the rotation and push-pull actions of the clamp component can be realized. The first clamping device 32 and the second clamping device 33 are respectively connected to the two sides of the rotating mounting plate 31. Through the control of the first clamping cylinder 321 and the second clamping cylinder 331, the inward clamping and releasing actions of the first clamping plate 322 and the second clamping plate 332 can be controlled respectively.

[0052] A plurality of clamping jaws 4 are provided on the first clamping plate 322 and the second clamping plate 332 for directly clamping the workpiece. At the same time, a positioning device 5 is also provided on the clamping jaw 4. The positioning device 5 is against both ends of the workpiece when the clamping jaw 4 clamps the workpiece, and is used to locate the position of the workpiece to ensure that the workpiece is clamped accurately and stably.

[0053] In actual operation, by controlling the movement of the robot body 2 and the clamping action of the carrying clamp 3, the simultaneous carrying of two workpieces can be achieved. The carrying clamp 3 is positioned to the position of the workpiece through the coordinated movement of the rotating axis 21 and the carrying axis 22. Then, by controlling the action of the first clamping cylinder 321 and the second clamping cylinder 331, the first clamping plate 322 and the second clamping plate 332 are clamped inward. Through the cooperation of the clamp 4 and the positioning device 5, the workpiece is stably clamped. Finally, the workpiece is transported to the specified position again through the movement of the robot body 2.

[0054] During the whole process, the power supply and signal lines connected through the cable interface 121 provide the robot with stable power and precise control signals, ensuring the smooth progress of the whole handling process.
