[0032] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, to solve the problems existing in the background art, a casing classification and collection device is provided in this embodiment, which includes a manipulator, a casing clamping assembly 101 and a casing collection assembly. The casing clamping assembly 101 includes two groups of clamping pieces 105, a connecting member 108 and a finger cylinder 107. The connecting member 108 is connected to the output end of the manipulator, the finger cylinder 107 is arranged on the connecting member 108, and the two groups of clamping pieces 105 are connected to the output end of a group of finger cylinders 107; the manipulator drives the finger cylinder 107 and the clamping pieces 105 to move synchronously through the connecting member 108 to achieve the movement in the X, Y, and Z directions and the three-way rotation. The finger cylinder 107 can drive the two groups of clamping pieces 105 to move in the same or opposite directions to clamp or release the telescoped casing. The casing clamping assembly 101 is installed on the sixth axis joint of the industrial manipulator. Preferably, the connecting member 108 is a connecting rod.
[0033] The casing collection assembly is arranged on one side of the manipulator. The casing collection assembly includes a tooling table 102 and a collection and accommodation member placed on the tooling table 102. There is a first preset angle between the bottom surface of the collection and accommodation member and the horizontal plane of the tooling table 102. The range of the first preset angle is 10 - 45°, and the collection and accommodation member can place casings of different grades.
[0034] In this embodiment, the manipulator drives the finger cylinder 107 to move to the casing shrinking machine, uses the finger cylinder 107 to drive the clamping piece 105 to clamp the casing at the casing shrinking machine, and receives the casing quality classification signal from the shrinking machine. The robot calculates the position where it needs to be placed into the classification collection device according to the program. The manipulator drives the casing clamped by the clamping piece 105 to move to the collection and accommodation part. The finger cylinder 107 drives the clamping piece 105 to open, and the casing falls into the set collection and accommodation part. Then the manipulator returns to the initial position.
[0035] From the discharging of the casing from the casing shrinking machine to the position of the classification collection and accommodation part, no manual operation is required throughout the process, saving manpower and improving work efficiency.
[0036] The bottom surface of the above-mentioned collection and accommodation part forms a first preset angle with the horizontal plane of the tooling table 102. The range of the first preset angle is 10° - 45°, so as to ensure that the collection and accommodation part has a certain inclination, so that the placed casing rolls towards one side under the influence of gravity, avoiding the irregular scattering of the casing to both sides inside the collection and accommodation part after being put in, and avoiding manual re-arrangement of the casing again.
[0037] Preferably, the first preset angles are 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 45°.
[0038] Preferably, the above-mentioned collection and accommodation part is a collection basket. A plurality of collection baskets are arranged in a row side by side. The collection baskets are respectively the first collection basket 110 for placing high-quality casings, the second collection basket 111 for placing good-quality casings, and the third collection basket 112 for placing defective casings.
[0039] Preferably, the clamping piece 105 is fixed to the output end of the finger cylinder 107 by bolts.
[0040] Preferably, the mounting hole of the clamping piece 105 is a slot-shaped hole. The slot-shaped hole enables the clamping piece 105 to have a certain adjustment space. By adjusting the mounting position of the screw in the slot-shaped hole, the mounting position of the clamping piece 105 can be adjusted to adapt to casings with different outer diameters.
[0041] Preferably, a weight-reducing hole is provided on the clamping piece 105. The weight-reducing hole is arranged at the middle position of the clamping piece 105 to facilitate reducing the weight of the clamping piece 105 and making the movement of the manipulator more flexible. The weight-reducing hole in this embodiment is square. In other embodiments, the number of weight-reducing holes on each clamping piece is one.
[0042] Preferably, the tooling table 102 includes a frame base and an inclined bracket. The inclined bracket is arranged on the frame base. The collection and accommodation part is placed on the inclined bracket. The upper plane of the inclined bracket forms a first preset angle with the horizontal plane.
[0043] Preferably, the manipulator includes a manipulator base 103, a manipulator body 100 disposed on the manipulator base 103, and a pneumatic control box disposed on the manipulator body 100. The pneumatic control box is used to control the operation of the finger cylinder and detect whether the gripper holds the casing.
[0044] The pneumatic control includes a cylinder solenoid valve and a detection photoelectric sensor. The cylinder solenoid valve is connected to the finger cylinder 107, and the detection photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether the gripper 105 holds the casing.
[0045] The working principle of the casing classification and collection device in this embodiment is as follows: The manipulator moves to the feeding position of the casing shrinking machine, and the casing clamping device is docked with the dropping position of the casing of the casing shrinking machine. The distance between the grippers 105 of the casing clamping device is adjusted to meet the size of the casing diameter. When the casing falls onto the grippers 105, the finger cylinder 107 closes the grippers 105, and the grippers 105 clamp the casing. The manipulator simultaneously captures the casing quality classification signal fed back by the shrinking machine. The manipulator moves to directly above the casing classification and collection device, and the manipulator simultaneously captures the casing quality classification signal fed back by the casing shrinking machine. The manipulator performs actions to move to the working table position, classifies the quality of the casing installed by the manipulator, places it into the corresponding collection container, and opens the finger cylinder 107. Subsequently, the manipulator returns to the waiting position and continues to wait for the feeding signal of the next casing from the shrinking machine.
[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
