[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a truck clamp body box stacking robot gripper includes a support arm 1, a positioning pin 2, a clamping clamp cylinder 3, a clamping clamp 4, a push rod cylinder 5, a push rod assembly 6, and a truck clamp body 7. One end of the support arm 1 is connected to the box stacking robot, and a positioning pin 2 is installed on the side plate 11 at the other end. The positioning pin 2 is used to insert into the positioning hole 71 of the truck clamp body 7 to be stacked.

[0037] A clamping clamp cylinder 3 is installed in the support arm 1, and a clamping clamp 4 is installed on the telescopic ends on the left and right sides of the clamping clamp cylinder 3 respectively. The clamping ends of the two clamping clamps 4 for clamping the truck clamp body 7 are both located on the outside of the side plate 11; a push rod cylinder 5 is installed in the support arm 1, and the telescopic rod of the push rod cylinder 5 is connected to the push rod assembly 6. The push rod cylinder 5 pushes the push rod assembly 6 to abut against the side of the truck clamp body 7, so that the truck clamp body 7 is locked with the two clamping clamps 4.

[0038] The truck clamp body box stacking robot gripper described in the utility model replaces manual handling and improves the level of production automation. The truck clamp body is positioned by positioning pins, and the clamping clamp and the push rod assembly are used in conjunction with each other to quickly lock the truck clamp body, accurately grasp and place the truck clamp body, greatly improve the box stacking efficiency, reduce production costs, and ensure the safety and accuracy of the operation process.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two positioning pin mounting holes 12 are provided on the side plate 11 , and the positioning pin 2 is mounted on the side plate 11 through the positioning pin mounting holes 12 .

[0040] The positioning pin mounting hole 12 is a substantially oblong hole.

[0041] The cross-sectional shape of the connection between the positioning pin 2 and the side plate 11 is the same as the shape of the positioning pin mounting hole 12 .

[0042] In actual use, the positioning pin mounting hole 12 is a substantially oblong hole, which prevents the positioning pin 2 and the side plate 11 from rotating, improves structural stability, and reduces the risk of the positioning pin 2 loosening or falling off.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping pliers cylinder 3 includes a cylinder body 31, a mounting plate 1 32 and a mounting plate 2 33, and a mounting plate 1 32 is respectively installed on the telescopic ends on the left and right sides of the cylinder body 31, and a mounting plate 2 33 is installed above each mounting plate 32, and the mounting plate 2 33 is connected to the clamping pliers 4.

[0044] The cylinder body 31 is provided with a telescopic rod 1 34 and a telescopic rod 2 35 with opposite movement directions. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1 34 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 32 on one side of the cylinder body 31, and the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 2 35 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 32 on the other side.

[0045] In actual use, the number of the telescopic rod 1 34 and the telescopic rod 2 35 are both two, and the mounting plate 1 32 is provided with four mounting holes, which are arranged in a rectangular shape. Two of the mounting holes are used for fixed connection with one of the telescopic rods, and the other two mounting holes are used for the other telescopic rod to pass through.

[0046] The two telescopic rods 1 34 are arranged diagonally, and the telescopic ends are fixedly connected to one mounting plate 1 32; the two telescopic rods 2 35 are arranged diagonally, and the telescopic ends are fixedly connected to the other mounting plate 1 32, providing a more balanced and stable clamping force.

[0047] The clamping jaw cylinder 3 is a bidirectional cylinder. When the clamping jaw cylinder 3 moves the telescopic ends of telescopic rod 1 34 and telescopic rod 2 35 outward, it drives mounting plate 1 32 outward, thereby driving the two clamping jaws 4 outward, into a loose state. When the clamping jaw cylinder 3 moves the telescopic ends of telescopic rod 1 34 and telescopic rod 2 35 inward, it drives mounting plate 1 32 inward, thereby driving the two clamping jaws 4 inward, hooking onto the truck clamp body 7, into a clamped state.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two clamping pliers 4 are symmetrically arranged, and the clamping ends of the clamping pliers 4 are provided with clamping grooves.

[0049] In actual use, the symmetrical arrangement of the clamping jaws 4 ensures that the clamping force is evenly distributed on both sides when clamping the truck clamp body 7, avoiding unstable clamping or damage to the workpiece due to uneven force. The two clamping jaws 4 can act simultaneously on the truck clamp body, reducing the risk of tilting or slipping caused by unilateral clamping. The shape and size of the clamping groove can be adjusted according to the specific shape of the truck clamp body to meet different clamping requirements.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two clamping clamp through holes 13 are provided above the positioning pin mounting hole 12 of the side plate 11 for cooperating with the clamping clamp 4 to move left and right and provide guidance. The clamping clamp 4 is connected to the clamping clamp cylinder 3 through the clamping clamp through holes 13, and the clamping clamp through holes 13 are oblong holes.

[0051] In actual use, when the clamping clamp cylinder 3 is working, the clamping clamp 4 will move left and right in the clamping clamp through hole 13. The clamping clamp through hole 13 is an oblong hole, which facilitates the left and right movement of the clamping clamp 4 to clamp and release the truck clamp body 7, so that the clamping clamp can more accurately adjust the clamping force to adapt to truck clamp bodies of different sizes and shapes.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the push rod assembly 6 includes a push plate 61 and a push rod 62, the push plate 61 is located in the support arm 1, and is connected to the telescopic rod of the push rod cylinder 5; the push rod 62 is installed on the push plate 61, and a push rod through hole 14 is provided on the side plate 11, and the push rod through hole 14 is located between the two clamping clamp through holes 13 of the side plate 11, and one end of the push rod 62 can pass through the push rod through hole 14.

[0053] In actual use, when the clamping pliers 4 is in the clamping state, the telescopic rod of the push rod cylinder 5 extends to push the push plate 61, so that the push rod 62 moves along the push rod through hole 14 and presses against the side of the truck clamp body 7 to lock the truck clamp body 7.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bushing 141 is installed in the push rod through hole 14 , and both ends of the bushing 141 are fixed to the side plate 11 through a pressing plate 142 .

[0055] In actual use, the use of bushing 141 can reduce direct friction between push rod 62 and push rod through hole 14, thereby reducing wear and improving the stability and durability of the push rod. Securing bushing 141 with pressure plate 142 can ensure that push rod 62 remains stable during movement, reducing the risk of shaft displacement or disengagement due to vibration or impact.

[0056] Working principle of the truck clamp box stacking robot gripper:

[0057] When the truck clamp body needs to be moved, the clamping clamp cylinder 3 is controlled to move the telescopic ends of the two telescopic rods 1 34 and the two telescopic rods 2 35 outward respectively, driving the two mounting plates 1 32 to move outward respectively, thereby driving the two clamping clamps 4 to move outward respectively and be in a loose state;

[0058] Insert the two positioning pins 2 into the two positioning holes 71 on the side of the truck clamp body 7, and control the clamping clamp cylinder 3 to move the telescopic ends of the two telescopic rods 1 34 and the two telescopic rods 2 35 inward respectively, thereby driving the two clamping clamps 4 to move inward respectively and hook the two sides of the truck clamp body 7;

[0059] The telescopic rod of the push rod cylinder 5 is extended to push the push plate 61 to move, so that the push rod 62 moves and presses against the side of the truck clamp body 7, thereby locking the truck clamp body 7; the truck clamp body 7 is placed in the preset position in the packaging box by the robot, and then the truck clamp body 7 is released to complete a working cycle.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
