Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a manipulator, in particular to a manipulator for blanking and picking up sliding buckles. Background Art

[0002] Please refer to the attached drawings in the manual. Figure 1 , a slider 200 with an irregular shape, a ring structure and a through hole 201 in the center. After the slider 200 is injection molded, it needs to be demolded along the central axis direction of the through hole 201. In the prior art, there are generally two ways to unload the slider 200. The first is that the mold directly ejects the slider, so that the slider 200 is separated from the mold cavity and falls, and then the workers collect the fallen slider 200; the second is that the slider 200 is demolded so that one end of the slider extends out of the mold and the other end remains in the mold cavity. If an ordinary suction cup or grasping robot is used, due to the irregular shape of the slider 200, it is not stable and firm to absorb or grasp it, and it is easy to fall or miss in the mold cavity. Therefore, workers still need to take the slider 200 out of the mold cavity in time; the above two methods require workers to manually operate, which is labor-intensive and inconvenient to unload, so the injection molding efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a sliding buckle unloading and picking robot which is convenient and quick in unloading, improves the automation level of sliding buckle injection molding equipment, and improves the efficiency of sliding buckle injection molding.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the sliding buckle blanking and picking robot provided by the utility model includes a driving mechanism, a bracket, a negative pressure suction device and a lateral limiting device; the output end of the driving mechanism is connected to the bracket to drive the bracket to move; the lateral limiting device includes a telescopic device and a buckle plate; the telescopic device is arranged on the bracket and the telescopic end is connected to the buckle plate to drive the buckle plate to translate, and the buckle plate extends a buckling portion along the translation direction on the side facing away from the telescopic device; the negative pressure suction device is arranged on the bracket, and the suction direction of the negative pressure suction device intersects with the translation direction of the buckle plate.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a telescopic device and a gusset plate, and extends a gusset plate from the gusset plate, and utilizes the telescopic device to drive the gusset plate to translate, so that the gusset plate's gusset portion can be inserted into the through hole of the slider, thereby positioning the slider to prevent it from sliding and falling; and provides a negative pressure suction device, and makes the suction direction of the negative pressure suction device intersect with the translation direction of the gusset plate, so that the negative pressure suction device can be sucked onto the surface of the slider. Therefore, the slider can be held by the gusset plate when it is demoulded and has not completely left the mold cavity, and then self-absorbed by the negative pressure suction device, so that the slider can be taken out stably and firmly, thereby greatly improving the convenience of unloading, and eliminating the need for workers to manually take out parts, greatly improving the degree of automation of injection molding equipment, and improving the efficiency of slider injection molding.

[0006] Preferably, the lateral limiting device further comprises a connecting block connected between the output end of the telescopic device and the gusset plate. The provision of the connecting block allows for easy installation and removal of the output end of the telescopic device and the gusset plate, thereby improving assembly convenience.

[0012] Preferably, the driving mechanism further comprises a rotation driving mechanism, which is arranged between the vertical driving mechanism and the bracket to drive the bracket to rotate. The provision of the rotation driving mechanism can improve the flexibility of the driving mechanism to facilitate the removal of items.

[0013] Preferably, the slider has a through hole passing through at least one end thereof for the buckling portion to be inserted, and an outer side surface of the slider is provided with a downwardly concave suction surface for the negative pressure suction device to be sucked in.

[0020] In order to explain the technical content, structural features and effects achieved by the present invention in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the sliding buckle blanking and picking-up manipulator 100 of the present invention is suitable for blanking a sliding buckle 200. The sliding buckle 200 has a through hole 201 passing through both ends thereof, and an outer side surface of the sliding buckle 200 is provided with a downwardly concave suction surface 202. The cross section of the sliding buckle 200 is arc-shaped. The sliding buckle blanking and picking-up manipulator 100 includes a driving mechanism 1, a bracket 2, a negative pressure suction device 3 and a lateral limiting device 4; the output end of the driving mechanism 1 is connected to the bracket 2 to drive the bracket 2 to move; the lateral limiting device 4 includes a telescopic device 41 and a pinch plate 42; the telescopic device 41 is provided on the bracket 2 and the telescopic end is connected to the pinch plate 42 to drive the pinch plate 42 to translate. The pinch plate 42 extends a pinching portion 421 along the translation direction on the side facing away from the telescopic device 41. The pinching portion 421 is bent relative to the main body of the pinch plate 42, so that the pinch plate 42 has an L-shaped structure as a whole. The cross-sectional shape of the snap-fit portion 421 is the same as that of the through hole 201. The snap-fit portion 421 can be inserted into the through hole 201, thereby limiting the slider 200 horizontally and vertically, so that the central axis of the slider 200 is in a horizontal direction, to prevent the slider 200 from falling. The lateral limiting device 4 also includes a connecting block 43, which is connected between the output end of the telescopic device 41 and the gusset plate 42 by screws. The provision of the connecting block 43 allows the output end of the telescopic device 41 and the gusset plate 42 to be easily installed and disassembled, thereby improving the convenience of assembly. The telescopic device 41 is a cylinder, which is connected to an air supply device (not shown). The negative pressure suction device 3 is disposed on the bracket 2 and located on the outside of the bracket 2 relative to the lateral limiting device 4. The suction direction of the negative pressure suction device 3 intersects the translation direction of the pinch plate 42. More specifically, the suction direction of the negative pressure suction device 3 is perpendicular to the translation direction of the pinch plate 42, allowing the negative pressure suction device 3 to be attracted to the outer side of the slider 200. In this embodiment, the negative pressure suction device 3 and the lateral limiting device 4 are symmetrically disposed at both ends of the bracket 2. This allows the slider unloading and retrieval robot 100 to unload multiple sliders 200 simultaneously, thereby increasing unloading speed.

[0022] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The negative pressure suction device 3 includes a suction nozzle 31, a negative pressure generating device (not shown), and a buffer mouthpiece 32. The suction nozzle 31 is mounted on the bracket 2, and the output end of the negative pressure generating device is connected to the suction nozzle 31. The buffer mouthpiece 32 is mounted at the suction point of the suction nozzle 31. This prevents the suction nozzle 31 from crushing the surface of the slider 200, thereby protecting the slider 200.

[0023] For example Figure 2As shown, the driving mechanism 1 includes a transverse driving mechanism 11, a longitudinal driving mechanism 12 and a vertical driving mechanism 13. The output end of the transverse driving mechanism 11 is connected to the longitudinal driving mechanism 12, the output end of the longitudinal driving mechanism 12 is connected to the output end of the vertical driving mechanism 13, and the output end of the vertical driving mechanism 13 is connected to the bracket 2 to drive the bracket 2 to move in three-dimensional space. The driving mechanism 1 also includes a rotation driving mechanism 14, which is arranged between the vertical driving mechanism 13 and the bracket 2 to drive the bracket 2 to rotate. The provision of the rotation driving mechanism 14 can improve the flexibility of the driving mechanism 1 to facilitate the removal of items. In addition, the driving mechanism 1 can also be a multi-axis robotic arm, which can also drive the bracket 2 to move in three-dimensional space.

[0024] Combining the above and Figure 1 and Figure 5 The following is a detailed description of the blanking principle of the sliding buckle blanking and picking robot 100 of the present invention, as follows:

[0025] First, after injection molding, the slider 200 is ejected from the mold. The drive mechanism 1 then drives the bracket 2 to the side of the mold. Next, the telescopic device 41 drives the clasp plate 42 to move horizontally. The clasp portion 421 on the clasp plate 42 extends horizontally and inserts into the through-hole 201 at one end of the slider 200, thereby securing the slider 200. The suction nozzle 31 of the negative pressure suction device 3 then generates negative pressure on the buffer nozzle 32, which causes the slider 200 to be sucked onto the buffer nozzle 32. The drive mechanism 1 then drives the slider 200 completely out of the mold and onto the unloading position for unloading.

[0026] The cam 421 of the rear panel 200 is engaged with the rear panel 200 and the rear panel 200 is engaged with the rear panel 200, thereby preventing the cam 421 from sliding off and falling off.

[0027] The structure and injection molding principle of the injection molding equipment involved in the sliding buckle blanking and picking robot 100 of the present invention are well known to ordinary technicians in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
