[0030] Next, in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present utility model, but the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0031] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the present utility model discloses a vision-based intelligent steel grabber device, including a housing 1, a first steel grabbing device 2, and a second steel grabbing device 3. A connecting flange is provided at the top of the housing 1, and the connecting flange is used to connect with an external lifting arm or a device with the same function. An installation groove 11 is opened at the bottom of the housing 1. The housing 1 has a U-shaped plate structure. A vertical plate 12 is fixedly provided in the installation groove 11. The vertical plate 12 divides the installation groove 11 into two areas. One area is used to install the first steel grabbing device 2, and the other area is used to install the second steel grabbing device 3. First slideways 121 are opened on both surfaces of the vertical plate 12. The first slideways 121 extend along the width direction of the installation groove 11. These two first slideways 121 are respectively used for sliding connection with the first steel grabbing device 2 and the second steel grabbing device 3.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3, the first steel grabbing device 2 includes a first adjusting structure 21, a second adjusting structure 22, an electromagnet assembly 23, and a vision camera 24. The first adjusting structure 21 can adjust the position of the electromagnet assembly 23 along the length direction of the installation groove 11 (i.e., the X direction). As an implementation manner, the first adjusting structure 21 includes a third slider 211 and an electric push rod 212. The third slider 211 is slidably disposed in the first slideway 121. The third slider 211 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the electric push rod 212. The electric push rod 212 extends along the X direction. The movable end of the electric push rod 212 is fixedly connected to the electromagnet assembly 23.
[0033] The second adjusting structure 22 can adjust the electromagnet assembly 23 along the width direction of the installation groove 11 (i.e., the Y direction). As an implementation manner, each of the two opposite side walls of the housing 1 is provided with a second slideway 13. The heights of the two second slideways 13 are the same. The second slideway 13 extends along the length direction of the installation groove 11. The second adjusting structure 22 includes a first slider 221, a motor 222, a lead screw 223, a limiting rod 224, and a second slider 225. Figure 2 Taking... as an example, the first slider 221 is slidably disposed in the second slideway 13 on the left side. The first slider 221 is fixedly connected to the motor 222. The output end of the motor 222 is drivingly connected to one end of the lead screw 223, that is, the motor 222 can drive the lead screw 223 to rotate. The other end of the lead screw 223 is rotatably connected to the second slider 225. The second slider 225 is slidably disposed in the second slideway 13 on the right side. The two ends of the limiting rod 224 are respectively fixedly connected to the first slider 221 and the second slider 225.
[0034] The electromagnet assembly 23 includes a fourth slider 231 and an electromagnet 232. The fourth slider 231 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 223. The limiting rod 224 passes through the fourth slider 231 to prevent the fourth slider 231 from rotating along with the lead screw 223. The side of the fourth slider 231 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the electric push rod 212. An electromagnet 232 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fourth slider 231. A vision camera 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the electromagnet 232. The lowermost end of the vision camera 24 is higher than the lowermost end of the electromagnet 232. The vision camera 24 can automatically identify the position of the steel, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the electromagnet assembly 23 by the first adjusting structure 21 and the second adjusting structure 22.
[0035] The structure of the second steel grabbing device 3 is the same as that of the first steel grabbing device 2, and the installation method is also the same, which will not be elaborated here. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown in... the first steel grabbing device 2 and the second steel grabbing device 3 are arranged in mirror symmetry in the installation groove 11. At this time, the vertical plate 12 is the mirror surface.
[0036] During use, the electric push rod 212 is started, and the electric push rod 212 adjusts the position of the electromagnet assembly 23 in the X direction. The motor 222 is started, and the motor 222 drives the lead screw 223 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the fourth slider 231 on the lead screw 223 and further adjusting the position of the electromagnet assembly 23 in the Y direction. When the electromagnet 232 is located above the steel, the adjustment is stopped. The electromagnet 232 is energized to grab the steel, and the steel is moved to the target position by the lifting arm and then the steel is released.
[0037] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
