[0053] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0054] Embodiment 1:

[0055] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the present utility model provides a feeding manipulator device for a cold heading machine, including: a feeding robotic arm 1 for conveying materials, a cold heading machine 2 located on one side of the feeding robotic arm 1 for processing bars, a connecting arm 3 arranged on the feeding robotic arm 1, and an annular frame 4 arranged on the connecting arm 3.

[0056] In order to enable the feeding robotic arm 1 to clamp bars of different sizes and achieve the transportation and processing of bars of different sizes, a clamping structure for clamping and positioning the material is arranged on the annular frame 4, and a linkage structure for controlling the clamping structure is arranged on the connecting arm 3 and the clamping structure.

[0057] Among them, two groups of clamping structures are arranged. Each group of clamping structures includes a connecting ring 5 rotatably installed on the annular frame 4, two first movable shafts 501 and two second movable shafts 502 arranged on one side of the connecting ring 5 to provide a rotation fulcrum, two first clamping plates 503 rotatably installed on the two first movable shafts 501, two second clamping plates 504 rotatably installed on the two second movable shafts 502. The two second clamping plates 504 and the two first clamping plates 503 are arranged in a cross manner. Four guide blocks 505 are slidably installed on the two first clamping plates 503 and the two second clamping plates 504. Two first fixed shafts 506 and two second fixed shafts 507 are rotatably installed on the four guide blocks 505. The two first fixed shafts 506 and the two second fixed shafts 507 are both arranged on one side of the annular frame 4. A plurality of guide components arranged on the corresponding guide blocks 505 to limit the moving direction of the first clamping plate 503. During the rotation of the connecting ring 5, the space between the cross - arranged first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 can be reduced. By controlling the double - shaft motor 602 to drive the gear 601 to rotate in the reverse direction, the space between the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 can be increased, so as to be adjusted as needed. In the case of continuous reduction of the space, the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 can drive the corresponding rubber pads 508 to squeeze on the bar, clamping the bar.

[0058] Among them, the guide component includes a guide hole 509 opened on the inner wall of the guide block 505. The first clamping plate 503 is slidably installed in the guide hole 509. During the movement of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504, they can slide in the guide hole 509 on the corresponding guide block 505, avoiding the deviation of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504.

[0059] Among them, rubber pads 508 for increasing the clamping friction are arranged on the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504. The two rubber pads 508 are arranged in a cross manner. By setting the rubber pads 508, the friction can be increased when contacting the bar, making the clamping of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 more stable.

[0060] Among them, the linkage structure includes two toothed rings 6 arranged on two connecting rings 5, two gears 601 rotatably installed on both sides of the connecting arm 3 for transmission, the two gears 601 are respectively meshed with the two toothed rings 6, a driving assembly arranged on the two gears 601 for driving the two gears 601 to rotate, a limiting assembly arranged on the connecting ring 5 for limiting the rotation position of the connecting ring 5, and the rotating gear 601 can drive the connecting ring 5 to rotate through meshing with the toothed ring 6.

[0061] Among them, the driving assembly is a dual-axis motor 602 arranged on the inner wall of the connecting arm 3. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 602 penetrate through the connecting arm 3 and are respectively arranged on the two gears 601. When the dual-axis motor 602 is turned on, the two output ends of the dual-axis motor 602 can drive the two gears 601 to rotate respectively.

[0062] Among them, the limiting assembly includes an annular groove 603 opened on the inner wall of the connecting ring 5 and a limiting ring 604 arranged on the annular frame 4. The limiting ring 604 is rotatably installed in the annular groove 603. During the rotation of the connecting ring 5, the connecting ring 5 can rotate on the limiting ring 604 through the annular groove 603, thereby avoiding the offset of the connecting ring 5 during the rotation process.

[0063] Embodiment 2:

[0064] On the basis of Embodiment 1, in order to prevent the bar material from falling off from below during the conveying process, a protective structure for shielding the bottom of the clamping structure to prevent the material from falling is arranged on the connecting arm 3, which can shield and support the lower part of the bar material.

[0065] Among them, the protective structure includes two auxiliary motors 7 respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting arm 3, two connecting rods 701 respectively arranged on the output ends of the two auxiliary motors 7, and two protective baffles 702 respectively arranged on the two connecting rods 701 for shielding the material. The two protective baffles 702 are both located at the bottom side of the annular frame 4. When clamping the material, the material can be placed at the edge of the material table. Thus, when clamping the material, it can be avoided that the protective baffle 702 contacts the material table or the material, so that the protective baffle 702 can be lower than the position of the material. After picking up the bar material, the auxiliary motor 7 can be turned on to make its output end rotate in the reverse direction, driving the two protective baffles 702 to flip and reset, and shielding and supporting the bottom of the bar material.

[0066] Working principle: When clamping bar materials, the auxiliary motors 7 on both sides can be turned on, so that the output ends of the auxiliary motors 7 drive the connecting rods 701 to flip. The flipped connecting rods 701 can drive the protective baffles 702 to flip and move away from the bottom side of the annular frame 4, disengaging the shielding of the annular frame 4. At this time, the positions of the connecting arm 3 and the annular frame 4 can be moved by controlling the feeding robotic arm 1. The bar material can be vertically placed on the material table, and the annular frame 4 can be sleeved on the material from top to bottom. At the same time, the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 are distributed around the material. At this time, the dual-axis motor 602 can be turned on. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 602 can drive the two gears 601 to rotate respectively. The rotating gears 601 can drive the connecting ring 5 to rotate through meshing with the toothed ring 6. The continuously rotating connecting ring 5 can drive a plurality of first movable shafts 501 and a plurality of second movable shafts 502 to perform circular motion, so that the first movable shafts 501 and the second movable shafts 502 can drive one end of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 to flip and perform circular motion respectively. The other ends of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 slide in the guide holes 509 on the corresponding guide blocks 505, avoiding the deviation of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504. At the same time, the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 can drive the corresponding guide blocks 505 to rotate as the angle changes, so that the guide blocks 505 can rotate on the corresponding first fixed shaft 506 or second fixed shaft 507. During this process, the space between the cross-set first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 can be reduced. By controlling the dual-axis motor 602 to drive the gear 601 to rotate in the reverse direction, the space between the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 can be increased, so that it can be adjusted according to needs. When the space is continuously reduced, the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 can drive the corresponding rubber pads 508 to squeeze on the bar, clamping the bar, so as to facilitate transportation by the feeding robotic arm 1. When clamping the material, the material can be placed at the edge of the material table. Thus, when clamping the material, the protective baffle 702 can be prevented from contacting the material table or the material, making the protective baffle 702 lower than the position of the material. After picking up the bar, the auxiliary motor 7 can be turned on to make its output end rotate in the reverse direction, driving the two protective baffles 702 to flip back to their original positions, covering and supporting the bottom of the bar to improve stability.

[0067] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and their equivalent technologies, the present utility model is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
