Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical handling, and particularly relates to a hook handling module. Background Art

[0002] In modern manufacturing and logistics industries, automated handling equipment has become a key factor in improving production efficiency. Among them, hook handling is a common application scenario, especially in fields such as garment manufacturing and automotive parts production. However, existing hook handling equipment, especially the jaw system, generally has the problem of unstable clamping, which seriously affects production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Traditional hook handling equipment usually adopts simple mechanical jaws or pneumatic jaws. These jaws often lack consideration for accurately positioning and firmly clamping the hook in design. Therefore, during the handling process, the hook is prone to shaking, slipping, or position deviation. This instability not only reduces the handling efficiency but also may cause damage to the hook or errors in subsequent processes, thus affecting the overall production quality.

[0004] The instability of existing jaws is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

[0005] 1. Lack of an effective positioning mechanism: Most jaws cannot accurately position the hook, resulting in different clamping positions each time, increasing the difficulty of subsequent operations.

[0006] 2. Uneven clamping force: Due to the simple structure of the jaws, it is difficult to apply appropriate clamping force to hooks of different sizes and weights, easily causing problems such as over-tight or over-loose clamping.

[0007] These problems not only affect production efficiency but also increase the workload of operators. In some production environments with high precision requirements, unstable clamping may even lead to the stagnation of the entire production line. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hook handling module that can achieve stable clamping, accurate positioning, and good adaptability to solve the problem of unstable clamping of existing jaws. Summary of the Utility Model

[0008] To solve the above problems, the utility model discloses a hook handling module.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present application discloses a hook handling module, comprising:

[0010] A linear conveying mechanism;

[0011] A pneumatic jaw assembly installed on the linear conveying mechanism, the pneumatic jaw assembly comprising a pair of jaws;

[0012] A limiting component disposed on the pair of clamping jaws, the limiting component includes limiting blocks disposed at the roots of each of the clamping jaws, and the limiting blocks extend along the length direction of the clamping jaws;

[0013] Wherein, an inclined guide surface extending gradually from top to bottom is provided on the inner side of the bottom end of each of the clamping jaws of the pneumatic clamping jaw assembly.

[0014] An elastic pressing block is provided at the front end of the limiting block, and the elastic pressing block is used to press against the hook.

[0015] A vertical clamping surface is provided on the clamping jaw corresponding to the upper side of the inclined guide surface for contact and cooperation with the side of the hook.

[0016] A transition surface is provided between the inclined guide surface and the clamping surface.

[0017] In a possible implementation manner, the transition surface is an arc surface or a chamfer surface.

[0018] The solution of the present application realizes the precise positioning and stable clamping of the hook by providing an inclined guide surface on the inner side of the bottom end of the clamping jaw and combining with the limiting blocks at the roots. It reduces the risks of shaking, slipping or position deviation of the hook during handling. The design of the inclined guide surface enables the hook to automatically adjust its position during the clamping process, achieving accurate positioning without manual intervention, improving the operation efficiency and reducing human errors.

[0022] The present utility model will be further clarified below in conjunction with the specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and not to limit the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" respectively refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a specific component.

[0023] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1-3 shown, a hook handling module includes:

[0024] A linear conveying mechanism 1, a platform driven by a linear slide rail or a cylinder, for moving the entire handling module along a fixed straight path;

[0025] The pneumatic gripper assembly 2 mounted on the linear conveying mechanism 1, the pneumatic gripper assembly 2 includes a pair of grippers 21; a gripper device driven by compressed air, mounted on the linear conveying mechanism 1. It includes a pair of grippers 21 that can open and close, and the opening and closing actions of the grippers are controlled by air pressure;

[0026] The limit assembly 3 provided on the pair of grippers 21, the limit assembly 3 includes limit blocks 31 provided at the root of each gripper 21, and the limit blocks 31 extend along the length direction of the gripper 21; the limit blocks 31 extend along the length direction of the gripper to form a fixed stop structure.

[0027] Wherein, a guiding inclined surface 22 that gradually inclines and extends from top to bottom is provided on the inner side of the bottom end of each gripper 21 of the pneumatic gripper assembly 2.

[0028] In the initial state, the grippers 21 are in the open state. When the handling module approaches the hook to be picked up, the linear conveying mechanism 1 moves the pneumatic gripper assembly 2 to a suitable position. The grippers 21 start to close, and the guiding inclined surface 22 at their bottom ends first contacts the bottom of the hook. As the grippers continue to close, the guiding inclined surface 22 will guide the hook to move upward. The hook is lifted until it touches the limit block 31. The grippers are completely closed, and the hook is firmly clamped between the guiding inclined surface 22, the inner side of the grippers, and the limit block 31.

[0029] The design of the guiding inclined surface 22 can automatically guide the hook to the correct position during the picking process, reducing the positioning error. The limit block 31 provides a stable stop point for the top of the hook. Combined with the clamping force of the grippers, it forms two fixed points, the upper and the lower, which can fix the hook more firmly and prevent it from displacing or rotating during the handling process.

[0030] Embodiment 2: As Figures 2-3 shown, an elastic pressing block 32 is provided at the front end of the limit block 31, and the elastic pressing block 32 is used to press against the hook.

[0031] In a specific implementation, the elastic pressing block 32 can be made of an elastic material (such as rubber, elastic polyurethane, etc.), or it can be a pressing block with a spring mechanism.

[0032] The elastic pressing block 32 may be installed at the front end of the limit block 31, that is, the side facing the hook, by means of bolt fixation, bonding, or embedding.

[0033] When the hook is clamped by the grippers 21 and lifted upward along the guiding inclined surface 22, the top of the hook will contact the elastic pressing block 32 at the front end of the limit block 31. The elastic pressing block 32 will be slightly deformed or compressed due to the contact, and apply a downward elastic pressure to the top of the hook.

[0034] During the clamping process, the elastic pressing block 32 can buffer the impact between the hook and the limiting block, reducing the risk of damage to the hook. The elastic pressing block 32 can adapt to the slight inclination or unevenness at the top of the hook to a certain extent, ensuring better contact and positioning.

[0035] Embodiment 3: As Figure 3 shown, a vertical clamping surface 23 is provided on the upper side of the clamping jaw 21 corresponding to the guiding inclined surface 22 for contact and cooperation with the side portion of the hook.

[0036] A transition surface is provided between the guiding inclined surface 22 and the clamping surface 23. In a possible implementation manner, the transition surface 24 is an arc surface or a chamfer surface.

[0037] When the clamping jaw 21 starts to close, the hook first contacts the guiding inclined surface 22 and is guided to move upward. As the clamping jaw continues to close, the hook rises along the guiding inclined surface 22, passes through the transition surface 24, and finally its side portion contacts the vertical clamping surface 23. The transition surface 24 (whether it is an arc surface or a chamfer surface) provides a smooth transition area for the hook, reducing the abrupt edges and corners. Finally, the hook is firmly clamped between the vertical clamping surface 23 and the opposite clamping jaw. Compared with the design with only inclined surfaces, adding the vertical clamping surface 23 significantly improves the clamping stability and reduces the risk of shaking or sliding of the hook during the clamping process.

[0038] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
