Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manipulators, and more specifically, to a loading manipulator for washing machine production. Background Art

[0002] A manipulator is a robot driven by energy sources such as motors, hydraulics, and pneumatics. It can perform heavy, repetitive, high-precision, high-risk tasks, usually has multi-degree-of-freedom motion performance, and can replace manual operations. Manipulators are generally used for operations such as assembly, handling, and processing on industrial production lines.

[0003] In order to ensure product quality and reduce the workload of production line workers and the production cost of products, the loading of components or raw materials during the production of washing machines has gradually replaced workers with manipulators.

[0004] At present, the main function of the loading manipulator for washing machine production on the market is to move the processed parts on one machine to the machine that needs to perform the next step of processing by using a vacuum chuck through the manipulator. Therefore, between every two processing machines, a manipulator will be set up to operate the production line. However, most of the existing manipulators are fixed between two groups of machines to work. After several years of use, some faults may often occur. When one of the manipulators is damaged, it may cause the entire production line to stop working until the damaged manipulator is repaired, and the entire production line can continue to work, which will reduce the working efficiency of the production line.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, this application proposes a loading manipulator for washing machine production. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a loading manipulator for washing machine production.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: A housing of the loading manipulator for washing machine production is in a cavity shape and has an opening on one side. A base is connected to the end of the housing close to the ground, and a manipulator is arranged above the base;

[0008] A moving mechanism is arranged on both sides of the base and is used to control the device to be in a moving state or a working state;

[0009] A lifting mechanism is arranged inside the housing and is used to control the overall up and down movement of the manipulator;

[0010] The moving mechanism includes a first motor for driving. One end of the first motor is connected to a support plate. A baffle is connected to the top of the support plate near the base side. The output shaft of the first motor is connected to a first screw rod. Installation blocks are connected to both sides of the base, and the first screw rod is inserted into the installation blocks.

[0011] The baffle can prevent the support plate from rotating when the screw rod rotates.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a second motor for driving. The second motor is connected to one end inside the housing, and its output shaft is connected to a second screw rod. One end of the second screw rod is installed in the other end of the housing through a bearing, and a threaded seat is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second screw rod.

[0013] The height of the manipulator can be adjusted according to the height of the assembly line.

[0014] Preferably, universal wheels for facilitating the movement of the device are connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting plate for preventing the installation block from derailing is connected to the top end of the first screw rod.

[0016] Preferably, a manipulator for handling is connected to one side of the threaded seat.

[0017] Preferably, support arms are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the base. The top of the support arms is fixedly connected to a top plate, and the top end of the housing is connected to the bottom of the top plate.

[0018] To enable the lifting mechanism to work stably.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. By providing a moving mechanism and wheels, when the first motor drives the first screw rod to rotate, it can be realized that the wheels contact the ground or the support plate contacts the ground. When the manipulator fails, the wheels can be adjusted to contact the ground, and a replaceable and normally working manipulator can be used, thereby solving the problem that when one manipulator is damaged, the entire assembly line may stop working until the damaged manipulator is repaired, and the overall work efficiency of the assembly line will be reduced.

[0021] 2. By providing a lifting mechanism, according to the working height of the assembly line, the height of the manipulator can be adjusted by controlling the second motor to drive the second screw rod to rotate, so that the manipulator can adapt to different assembly lines. When one manipulator fails, the manipulator of another assembly line can also replace the failed manipulator. Description of the Drawings
