[0022] In order to more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , a multi-station tool-taking manipulator proposed by the present utility model includes a main machine support plate 1, a transverse movement mechanism is fixedly installed on the front side of the main machine support plate 1, a lifting mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the front side of the transverse movement mechanism, a lifting frame plate 3 is fixedly installed on the front side of the lifting mechanism 2, a plurality of mounting holes are formed in the top of the lifting frame plate 3, and a tool-taking device 4 is fixedly installed in the mounting holes.

[0024] In this embodiment, the transverse movement mechanism includes a first servo motor 5, a first lead screw 6 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the first servo motor 5, a transverse movement block 7 is threadedly installed on the outer side of the first lead screw 6, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a support plate 8, a second servo motor 9 is fixedly installed on the front side of the support plate 8, a second lead screw 10 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second servo motor 9, and a lifting block 11 is threadedly installed on the outer side of the second lead screw 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, two first guide plates 12 are fixedly installed on the front side of the main machine support plate 1, two first sliders 13 are slidably sleeved on the outer sides of the first guide plates 12, and the front sides of the transverse movement block 7 and the first slider 13 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the support plate 8.

[0026] In this embodiment, two second guide plates 14 are fixedly installed on the front side of the support plate 8, two second sliders 15 are slidably sleeved on the outer sides of the second guide plates 14, the front sides of the two second sliders 15 are fixedly installed with the same connecting block 16, and the bottom of the connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, a limit plate 17 is fixedly installed on the front side of the support plate 8, a plurality of arc-shaped holes are formed in the top of the limit plate 17, one side of the arc-shaped holes is open, and the arc-shaped holes are adapted to the corresponding tool-taking devices 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, fixing seats 18 are fixedly installed on the front sides of the main machine support plate 1 and the support plate 8. A rotating groove is formed on one side of the fixing seat 18, and the first lead screw 6 and the second lead screw 10 are respectively rotatably installed in the corresponding rotating grooves.

[0029] In this embodiment, the tool picker 4 includes a clamping cylinder, and a tool unit 19 is movably clamped in the clamping cylinder.

[0030] It should be noted that the tool picker and the tool are both matching workpieces of the multi-station manipulator proposed by the present utility model. However, the present utility model mainly introduces the overall operation mode of the multi-station manipulator. Therefore, the tool picker and the tool unit are not described in detail, reducing the patent protection scope of the matching workpieces and avoiding overly broad protection of the matching workpieces.

[0031] In this embodiment, vertical plates 20 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the main machine support plate 1. The two vertical plates 20 are symmetrically arranged, and the entire mechanism is supported and stabilized through the arrangement of the two vertical plates.

[0033] It should be noted that the grooves on the main machine support plate and the support plate can be used to limit the transverse block or lifting block on the threaded rod, ensuring that they move along a predetermined trajectory during movement. The grooves can also be used to help reduce the weight of the plate. Because by cutting grooves on the plate, the use of materials can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall weight. By adding grooves to the plate, the rigidity can be increased to a certain extent, improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure. Adding grooves to the plate can improve the aesthetic appearance, making the structure more delicate. The design of the grooves can make the installation more convenient, facilitating identification and grasping, and can reduce the complexity of processing and installation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the working principle of the device is as follows: First, a plurality of tool pickers 4 are installed on the lifting frame plate 3. The first servo motor 5 is started, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 5 drives the first lead screw 6 to rotate. The first lead screw 6 drives the support plate 8 to move horizontally through the cooperation with the transverse block 7, thereby adjusting the X-axis position of the plurality of tool pickers 4. The second servo motor 9 is started, and the output shaft of the second servo motor 9 drives the second lead screw 10 to rotate. The second lead screw 10 drives the connecting plate and the lifting frame plate 3 to move vertically together through the cooperation with the lifting block 11, thereby adjusting the Y-axis position of the plurality of tool pickers 4, realizing precise positioning of the tool pickers 4. The tool is clamped or released through the clamping mechanism inside the tool picker 4, realizing the function of transporting and transferring the tool.

[0035] Certainly, the present utility model may also have many other implementation manners. Based on this implementation manner, other implementation manners obtained by ordinary technical personnel in this field without any creative work all fall within the scope protected by the present utility model.
