Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of transportation devices, in particular to an annular tracking loading station. Background Technique

[0002] At present, the loading and transportation are generally set as linear transportation, which occupies a large space, and the loading is manual loading, so there is room for improvement. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an annular tracking loading station to solve the problems put forward in the above background technique, which has the advantage of efficient transportation.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: an annular tracking loading station, including a housing, a placing plate is arranged in the middle of the housing, a mechanical gripper is installed on the upper side of the housing, the mechanical gripper includes a plurality of connecting arms, a gripping plate is installed at the bottom of the plurality of connecting arms, a rotating rod is hinged on the upper side of the connecting arm, one end of the rotating rod is provided with a driving member for driving the rotating rod to rotate, a gripping cylinder is arranged in the middle of the gripping plate, and the gripping cylinder is connected with a suction nozzle.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving members are arranged in multiple numbers and correspond to the rotating rods one by one. Starting the driving members drives the rotating rods to rotate, and then drives the connecting arms to rotate. The simultaneous rotation and coordinated operation of the plurality of connecting arms can drive the gripping plate to move and slightly flip. The movement of the gripping plate drives the gripping cylinder to move, and then drives the suction nozzle to move. The transportation process is as follows: the workpiece is placed on the placing plate. After the gripping plate moves above the workpiece, start the gripping cylinder to drive the suction nozzle to move. When the suction nozzle moves above the workpiece, it sucks the workpiece. Then, let the plurality of connecting arms operate simultaneously to drive the gripping plate to move. The movement of the gripping plate drives the suction nozzle that grips the workpiece to move, thus realizing the transfer of the workpiece. When the workpiece is transferred to the predetermined position, the suction nozzle no longer adsorbs the workpiece, and the workpiece falls, achieving the purpose of transporting the workpiece as a whole.

[0006] As a further scheme of the utility model: the driving member includes a driving motor fixedly connected to the top of the housing, and the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the rotating rod.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving motor can drive the rotating rod to rotate.

[0008] As a further scheme of the utility model: a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the housing, a rotating motor is installed on the lower side of the fixing plate, and the rotating motor is connected to the placing plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor can drive the placing plate to rotate, so that the workpiece on the placing plate can rotate in a cycle, reducing the movement path of the gripping plate.

[0010] As a further solution of the utility model: a vibration cylinder is installed on the lower side of the fixing plate, the vibration cylinder is connected to a vibration rod, and the fixing plate is provided with a through groove penetrating the fixing plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the vibrating cylinder drives the vibrating rod to move and strike the placement plate, so that the workpiece on the placement plate can be hit and turned over, making it easier for the subsequent suction nozzle to absorb the workpiece.

[0012] As a further solution of the utility model: a visual camera and a light source are arranged above the shell.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the visual camera and the light source plays a guiding role in the grasping of the placement plate, so that the suction nozzle can accurately grasp the workpiece.

[0014] As a further solution of the utility model: a feeding conveyor belt is arranged on the side of the shell, and conveying rollers are arranged at both ends of the feeding conveyor belt, one of the conveying rollers is connected to a driving belt, and a driving gear is arranged at the other end of the driving belt, and the driving gear is provided with a conveying motor that drives the driving gear to rotate, and the shell is fixedly connected to a fixed frame above the feeding conveyor belt.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying motor is started to drive the driving gear to rotate and then drive the driving belt to run. The operation of the driving belt drives one of the conveying rollers to rotate and then drives the feeding conveyor belt to run. After the technician places the workpiece on one end of the feeding conveyor belt, the workpiece can enter the placement plate along the feeding conveyor belt to play the role of feeding.

[0016] As a further solution of the utility model: the rotating motor is fixedly connected to a fixing disk, and a limiting bent plate is connected above the fixing disk.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor only drives the placement plate to rotate, but does not drive the fixed plate to rotate. When the placement plate rotates, the limit bent plate and the fixed plate do not rotate accordingly. The limit bent plate can not only provide a limiting effect, but also provide a fulcrum for the technician to place his palm.

[0018] As a further solution of the utility model: each group of the connecting arms is hinged to the same connecting rod, and a plurality of the connecting rods are connected to the grabbing plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple groups of connecting arms are hinged to the connecting rod, and the grabbing plate is driven to move by the rotation of the multiple groups of connecting arms.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] The driving members are provided in multiple numbers and correspond to the rotating rods one by one. When the driving members are started, they drive the rotating rods to rotate, and then drive the connecting arms to rotate. The simultaneous rotation and coordinated operation of multiple groups of connecting arms can drive the grasping plate to move and slightly flip. The movement of the grasping plate drives the grasping cylinder to move, and then drives the suction nozzle to move. The transportation process is as follows: The workpiece is placed on the placement plate. After the grasping plate moves above the workpiece, the grasping cylinder is started to drive the suction nozzle to move. When the suction nozzle moves above the workpiece, it sucks the workpiece. Then, multiple groups of connecting arms are operated simultaneously to drive the grasping plate to move. The movement of the grasping plate drives the suction nozzle that grasps the workpiece to move, thereby realizing the transfer of the workpiece. When the workpiece is transferred to the predetermined position, the suction nozzle no longer adsorbs the workpiece, and the workpiece falls, achieving the purpose of transporting the workpiece as a whole.
