[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0033] Next, the embodiments of the present invention will be described according to the overall structure of the present invention.

[0034] A loading and unloading robot includes a linear drive mechanism 2 on a hanger 1, and a pneumatic finger 3 is provided on the moving part 21 of the linear drive mechanism. Among them, both the linear drive mechanism 2 and the pneumatic finger 3 belong to the prior art. The linear drive mechanism 2 can be a rodless cylinder, preferably a combined structure of a motor, a lead screw, and a slider. The pneumatic finger 3 has fingers that move relative to each other, which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] In order to solve the problem that the clamping method of existing industrial robots has too low applicability, in some embodiments, the fingers of the pneumatic finger 3 include two clamping parts 31 and a shoveling part 32 located at the bottom of the clamping part 31. The shoveling part 32 is perpendicular to the clamping part 31, forming a structure with an L-shaped cross-section. When the clamping part 31 clamps the product, the shoveling part 32 is located at the bottom of the product to form a bottom support, so that the product can be lifted, which can solve the problems in the prior art that soft products are easily deformed by clamping, heavy items are easily loosened and fallen off, and it is difficult to clamp the landing points of special-shaped items. Further, a reinforcing rib 7 is connected between the clamping part 31 and the shoveling part 32, and the reinforcing rib 7 can effectively improve the connection strength between the clamping part 31 and the shoveling part 32.

[0036] To facilitate the shoveling part 32 to shovel under the product, in some preferred embodiments, one side of the shoveling part 32 away from the clamping part 31 is an inclined surface 321 and the lower side of the inclined surface 321 is away from the clamping part 31. This solution reduces the wall thickness of the shoveling part 32 at the shoveling end, and thus it is easy for the shoveling part 32 to shovel under the product bottom. Since the front end of the inclined surface 321 of the shoveling part 32 is thin and likely to scratch the staff, in some embodiments, a side baffle 4 may be connected to the side surface of the shoveling part 32 and the clamping part 31. The side baffle 4 is preferably transparent to facilitate the staff to timely judge whether the product is completely shoveled in.

[0037] After the product is shoveled into the pneumatic finger 3, the product is likely to collide with the clamping part 31. Therefore, in some preferred embodiments, a soft pad 5 is provided on the side of the clamping part 31 close to the shoveling part 32. The soft pad 5 can be made of materials such as intersecting, silica gel, paper skin, etc., and is preferably foam, which is inexpensive and easy to obtain. In this solution, the foam is fixed to the side wall of the clamping part 31 by double-sided tape. In some other embodiments, the foam can also be fixed by components such as glue, screws, etc., or by snap connection.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, a dust leakage channel 6 is provided at the position of the shoveling part 32 close to the clamping part 31. Debris that is mis-shoveled will fall out from the dust leakage channel 6 along with the shoveling of the product, and it is convenient for cleaning inside the shoveling part 32.

[0039] The working process and beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The pneumatic finger 3 can be inserted under the product to lift it, and then the product is moved to the designated position through the linear movement mechanism. Specifically, when the clamping part 31 clamps the product, the shoveling part 32 forms a bottom support at the bottom of the product, so that the product can be lifted, which can solve the problems in the prior art that soft products are easily deformed by clamping, heavy items are easily loosened and fallen off, and it is not easy to clamp the landing points of special-shaped items. Debris that is mis-shoveled will fall out from the dust leakage channel 6 along with the shoveling of the product, and it is convenient for cleaning inside the shoveling part 32.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, the specific embodiments are only explanations of the present utility model and not limitations thereof. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications, substitutions and variations that do not contribute creatively to the embodiments according to needs without departing from the principles and purposes of the present utility model, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by the patent law.
