[0025] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification, but the present utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] A lifting gripper for a degumming rack, as Figures 1-3 shown, includes a bottom plate 6. A lifting mechanism for driving the bottom plate 6 to move up and down is arranged on the top surface of the bottom plate 6, and a clamping mechanism is arranged on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 6. A claw 5 is arranged at each end of the clamping mechanism; the claw 5 includes a claw plate for making movable contact and limiting with the degumming rack, and through holes for inserting cylinders on the side wall of the degumming rack are arranged on the claw plate.
[0028] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3, which is arranged above the bottom plate 6. A lifting cylinder 1 is arranged on the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3. The front end of the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 1 penetrates through the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3 and is connected to the top surface of the bottom plate 6. A plurality of linear bearings 2 are arranged between the bottom plate 6 and the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3. The bottom of the linear bearing 2 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 6, and the upper part of the linear bearing 2 penetrates through the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3.
[0029] The linear bearing 2 slides in the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3 under the drive of the lifting cylinder 1.
[0030] Preferably, two linear bearings 2 are arranged.
[0031] A connecting plate for connecting with other fixed devices is further arranged on the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3. The other fixed devices are not limited to trusses, robots, etc., and are all prior arts. Just realizing the working function, no special limitation is made.
[0032] The clamping mechanism is connected to the bottom surface of the bottom plate 6 through a linear guide rail 10 and a slider, so as to realize the sliding of the clamping mechanism on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 6.
[0033] The clamping mechanism includes a clamping cylinder 4, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 6. The front ends of the cylinder rods on both sides of the clamping cylinder 4 are respectively connected with connecting pieces, and the connecting pieces are connected with the claw 5.
[0034] The jaw 5 further includes a jaw connecting plate. One end face of the jaw connecting plate is connected to the jaw 5. The top surface of the jaw connecting plate is connected to the connecting member, and the bottom surface of the jaw connecting plate is connected to the slider.
[0035] On one side where the cylinder rod of the clamping cylinder 4 extends, an adjusting bracket 7 is arranged adjacent thereto. A rubber bolt 8 for limiting is arranged at the bottom of the adjusting bracket 7. The adjusting bracket 7 is fixed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 6. The rubber bolt 8 is used to limit the extreme position of the jaw 5 to avoid scraping.
[0036] The clamping cylinder 4 is preferably a centering cylinder.
[0037] The through hole is preferably a long hole, and the bottom is of a trapezoidal structure.
[0038] Preferably, two clamping mechanisms are provided. Correspondingly, two linear guides 10 are preferably provided.
[0039] The gripper is also equipped with a PLC control system. The lifting cylinder 1 and the clamping cylinder 4 are respectively connected to the PLC control system, and neither is limited to a specific model, as long as its working function can be achieved.
[0040] During specific operation, taking the fixation of the gripper on the truss as an example, the lifting gripper for the degumming rack is fixed on the truss through the connecting plate on the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3. The lifting mechanism is combined with the truss, enabling the gripper to avoid obstacles around the roller path and grasp and lift the degumming frame. When it is necessary to grasp the degumming rack through the lifting gripper for the degumming rack, the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 1 drives the lifting cylinder mounting bracket 3, and then drives the clamping mechanism and the jaw 5 to move downward. The linear bearing 2 plays a guiding role during the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 1. Before the lifting cylinder 1 extends, the clamping cylinder 4 first opens to the maximum stroke. The linear guide 10 is used to ensure that the driven jaw 5 can always move in a straight line. After the lifting cylinder 1 extends in place, the clamping cylinder 4 contracts. The sensor of the degumming rack itself will give a feedback signal. The clamping cylinder 4 drives the jaw 5 to be limited by the through hole and the cylinder on the degumming rack. The jaw 5 tightly grasps the degumming rack. After the clamping cylinder 4 gives a feedback signal after clamping, the lifting cylinder 1 retracts. The truss moves to the roller path for placing the degumming rack, and the above actions are repeated in reverse to complete the transfer of the degumming rack.
