Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of truss robots for palletizing, and specifically relates to a truss robot for palletizing. Background Technique

[0002] In modern industrial production, especially in fields such as logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing, the palletizing operation of materials is a common and important task. Traditional palletizing methods usually rely on manual operation. However, manual palletizing is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive, and it is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0003] With the continuous progress of technology, robot technology has been widely applied in the industrial field. Truss robots have been introduced into palletizing work because they can perform precise and efficient movements in three-dimensional space.

[0004] In existing truss robots for palletizing, although they can achieve the grasping and handling of materials, there are still some deficiencies. For example, during the process of clamping and moving materials, if the clamping is not firm enough, the materials may fall off the clamping plate. Once the materials fall off, it may pose a serious safety threat to the surrounding personnel and equipment, resulting in casualties and equipment damage.

[0005] To solve this problem, some existing solutions usually involve adding complex sensors and detection devices to monitor the clamping state of materials in real time and taking emergency braking or other protective measures when they may fall off. However, these solutions often require the introduction of a large number of electrical components and complex control systems, which not only increase the cost and complexity of the equipment but also raise the difficulty and cost of subsequent maintenance.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a truss robot for palletizing. Through the setting of a protection component, this device can prevent safety accidents caused by the falling off of materials, thereby improving safety. At the same time, it does not require the setting of any electrical components, reducing financial investment and facilitating subsequent maintenance. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a truss robot for palletizing. Through the setting of a protection component, this device can prevent safety accidents caused by the falling off of materials, thereby improving safety. At the same time, it does not require the setting of any electrical components, reducing financial investment and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0008] The technical solutions adopted by this utility model are specifically as follows:

[0009] A truss robot for palletizing, comprising four columns. At the top of every two columns, there is a first hollow housing. Inside the first hollow housing, there is a longitudinal movement component. On the longitudinal movement component, there is a second hollow housing. On the second hollow housing, there is a transverse movement component. On the transverse movement component, there is an electric telescopic rod. At the bottom of the electric telescopic rod, a U-shaped frame is installed. On the U-shaped frame, there is a rotation component. On the rotation component, there is a clamping plate. And at the bottom of the U-shaped frame, there are two connecting plates, and on each connecting plate, there is a protection component;

[0010] The protection component includes an inclined chute opened on the connecting plate. Inside the chute, there is a sliding block. At the bottom of the sliding block, there is a protection plate.

[0011] Further, the transverse movement component includes a first motor arranged on the first hollow housing. At the output end of the first motor, a first threaded rod is installed. A first threaded sleeve is sleeved on the first threaded rod. At the top of the first threaded sleeve, there is a first connecting block. The top of the first connecting block is connected to the second hollow housing.

[0012] Further, on the first hollow housing, there are symmetric first fixing blocks. Between the two first fixing blocks, there is a first guiding shaft. The first connecting block is sleeved on the first guiding shaft.

[0013] Further, the transverse movement component includes a second motor arranged on the second hollow housing. At the output end of the second motor, a second threaded rod is installed. A second threaded sleeve is sleeved on the second threaded rod. At the top of the second threaded sleeve, there is a second connecting block. The bottom of the second connecting block is connected to the electric telescopic rod.

[0014] Further, on the second hollow housing, there are symmetric second fixing blocks. Between the two second fixing blocks, there is a second guiding shaft. The second connecting block is sleeved on the second guiding shaft.

[0015] Further, the rotation component includes a third motor arranged on the U-shaped frame. At the output end of the third motor, there is a rotating rod. The end of the rotating rod away from the third motor penetrates the U-shaped frame. And on the rotating rod, there are opposite threads. On the opposite threads, there is a clamping plate.

[0016] Further, a limiting block is arranged inside the chute.

[0017] Further, a first smooth surface is arranged on the outer side of the sliding block, and a second smooth surface is arranged on the inner wall of the chute.

[0018] The technical effects obtained by this utility model are:

[0019] First, when clamping the material, the longitudinal movement component drives the clamping plate to move longitudinally, and the transverse movement component drives the clamping plate to move transversely, so as to adjust the position. Then, the electric telescopic rod drives the clamping plate to move downward, so that the material is located between the clamping plates. At this time, the state is as Figure 4 shown. Then, the moving component drives the clamping plate to clamp the material. After clamping, the electric telescopic rod makes the U-shaped frame drive the clamping plate to move upward. When the U-shaped frame moves upward, the sliding block moves downward inside the chute due to gravity. Because the chute is inclined, the sliding block drives the protection plate to move downward and leftward or rightward, as Figure 5 shown. Thus, when the material moves upward, protection is carried out to prevent the phenomenon that the material on the clamping plate falls off due to unstable clamping and causes a safety accident. At the same time, it moves to the palletizing position through the transverse movement component and the longitudinal movement component. The electric telescopic rod drives the material to move downward. The first thing it contacts is the protection plate. The protection plate is driven by the extrusion force to drive the sliding block to move inside the chute, so as to return to its original position and no longer carry out protection. Then, the moving component opens the clamping plate to palletize the material. Through the setting of the protection component, the device can prevent safety accidents caused by the falling of the material, thus improving safety. At the same time, there is no need to set any electrical components, reducing the financial investment and facilitating subsequent maintenance. Description of the Drawings

[0027] In order to make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will specifically describe this utility model in combination with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text only describes one or several specific implementation manners of this utility model, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed for this utility model.

[0028] As Figures 1-5 shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is specifically as follows: A truss robot for palletizing includes four columns 1. At the top of every two columns 1, a first hollow housing 2 is provided. Inside the first hollow housing 2, a longitudinal movement component is provided. On the longitudinal movement component, a second hollow housing 3 is provided. On the second hollow housing 3, a transverse movement component is provided. On the transverse movement component, an electric telescopic rod 4 is provided. At the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 4, a U-shaped frame 5 is installed. On the U-shaped frame 5, a rotating component is provided. On the rotating component, a clamping plate 6 is provided. And at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 5, two connecting plates 7 are provided. On each connecting plate 7, a protection component is provided;

[0029] The protection component includes an inclined chute 8 opened on the connecting plate 7. Inside the chute 8, a sliding block 9 is provided. At the bottom of the sliding block 9, a protection plate 10 is provided.

[0030] Its working principle is as follows: First, when clamping the material, the longitudinal movement component drives the clamping plate 6 to move longitudinally, and the transverse movement component drives the clamping plate 6 to move transversely, so as to adjust the position. Then, the electric telescopic rod 4 drives the clamping plate 6 to move downward, so that the material is located between the clamping plates 6. At this time, the state is as Figure 4 shown. Then, the moving component drives the clamping plate 6 to clamp the material. After clamping, the electric telescopic rod 4 makes the U-shaped frame 5 drive the clamping plate 6 to move upward. When the U-shaped frame 5 moves upward, the sliding block 9 moves downward inside the chute 8 due to gravity. Because the chute 8 is inclined, the sliding block 9 drives the protection plate 10 to move downward and leftward or rightward, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, when the material moves upward, it is protected to prevent the phenomenon that the material on the clamping plate 6 falls off due to unstable clamping, resulting in a safety accident. At the same time, it is moved to the palletizing position through the horizontal moving component and the vertical moving component. The electric telescopic rod 4 drives the material to move downward. The first contact is the protection plate 10. The protection plate 10 is driven by the extrusion force to drive the sliding block 9 to move inside the chute 8, so as to return to its original position and no longer carry out protection. Then, when passing through the moving component, the clamping plate 6 is opened to palletize the material. Through the setting of the protection component, the device can prevent safety accidents caused by the falling of the material, thereby improving safety. At the same time, there is no need to set any electrical components, reducing the financial investment and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0031] Among them, the vertical moving component includes a first motor 11 arranged on the first hollow housing 2. The output end of the first motor 11 is provided with a first threaded rod 12. A first threaded sleeve 13 is sleeved on the first threaded rod 12. The top of the first threaded sleeve 13 is provided with a first connecting block 14. The top of the first connecting block 14 is connected to the second hollow housing 3.

[0032] The first motor 11 drives the first threaded rod 12 to rotate. The first threaded rod 12 drives the first threaded sleeve 13 to drive the first connecting block 14 to drive the second hollow housing 3 to move longitudinally, so that the clamping plate 6 moves longitudinally.

[0033] Furthermore, symmetric first fixing blocks are arranged on the first hollow housing 2. A first guide shaft 15 is arranged between the two first fixing blocks. The first connecting block 14 is sleeved on the first guide shaft 15.

[0034] When the first connecting block 14 moves, it also moves on the first guide shaft 15 to conduct guiding.

[0035] At the same time, the horizontal moving component includes a second motor 16 arranged on the second hollow housing 3. The output end of the second motor 16 is provided with a second threaded rod 17. A second threaded sleeve 18 is sleeved on the second threaded rod 17. The top of the second threaded sleeve 18 is provided with a second connecting block 19. The bottom of the second connecting block 19 is connected to the electric telescopic rod 4.

[0036] The second motor 16 drives the second threaded rod 17 to rotate. The second threaded rod 17 drives the second threaded sleeve 18 to drive the second connecting block 19 to drive the electric telescopic rod 4 to move horizontally, so that the clamping plate 6 moves horizontally.

[0037] Furthermore, symmetric second fixing blocks are arranged on the second hollow housing 3. A second guide shaft 20 is arranged between the two second fixing blocks. The second connecting block 19 is sleeved on the second guide shaft 20. When the second connecting block 19 moves, it also moves on the second guide shaft 20 to conduct guiding.

[0038] The rotating assembly includes a third motor 21 disposed on the U-shaped frame 5. A rotating rod 22 is provided at the output end of the third motor 21. One end of the rotating rod 22 away from the third motor 21 penetrates through the U-shaped frame 5, and opposite threads are provided on the rotating rod 22. Clamping plates 6 are provided on the opposite threads.

[0039] The third motor 21 drives the rotating rod 22 to rotate, so that the two clamping plates 6 move relatively or oppositely, thereby clamping and releasing the material.

[0040] A limiting block is provided inside the chute 8. Limiting can be carried out through the limiting block, thereby preventing the sliding block 9 from sliding out of the chute 8.

[0041] A first smooth surface is provided on the outside of the sliding block 9, and a second smooth surface is provided on the inner wall of the chute 8. The first smooth surface and the second smooth surface can reduce the sliding friction of the sliding block 9 inside the chute 8, so as to ensure that the sliding block 9 can move inside the chute 8 when the sliding block 9 is affected by gravity or extrusion.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, when clamping the material, the clamping plate 6 is driven to move longitudinally by the longitudinal moving assembly, and the clamping plate 6 is driven to move transversely by the transverse moving assembly to perform position adjustment. Then, the clamping plate 6 is driven to move downward by the electric telescopic rod 4, so that the material is located between the clamping plates 6. At this time, the state is as Figure 4 shown. Then, the clamping plate 6 is driven by the moving assembly to clamp the material. After clamping, the U-shaped frame 5 drives the clamping plate 6 to move upward through the electric telescopic rod 4. When the U-shaped frame 5 moves upward, the sliding block 9 moves downward inside the chute 8 due to gravity. Because the chute 8 is inclined, the sliding block 9 drives the protection plate 10 to move downward and leftward or rightward, as Figure 5 shown. Thus, when the material moves upward, protection is carried out to prevent the phenomenon that the material on the clamping plate 6 falls off due to unstable clamping, causing a safety accident. At the same time, it is moved to the palletizing position through the transverse moving assembly and the longitudinal moving assembly. The electric telescopic rod 4 drives the material to move downward. The first thing that touches is the protection plate 10. The protection plate 10 is driven by the extrusion force to drive the sliding block 9 to move inside the chute 8, so as to return to its original position and no longer carry out protection. Then, the clamping plate 6 is opened through the moving assembly to palletize the material. Through the setting of the protection component, the device can prevent safety accidents caused by the falling of the material, thereby improving safety. At the same time, no electrical components need to be set, reducing the financial investment and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0043] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model. Structures, devices, and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present utility model are implemented according to conventional means in the art without special instructions and limitations.
