The device has a magnetic head that generates a magnetic effect when powered on, which can adsorb the column and then transport the column. Finally, the power is disconnected to eliminate the magnetic force on the magnetic head, making it easier to unload the column. The stacked columns are more neatly arranged, which is convenient for subsequent processing. It has the advantage of replacing traditional manual operations and solves the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a grasping device for processing an automobile steering column, comprising a horizontal plate 1, the horizontal plate 1 being connected with a grasping mechanism for grasping the column, the grasping mechanism comprising a magnetic head 5, two connecting rods 10, two connecting cylinders 11, two springs 15, two sliding blocks 16, and a moving block 13. There are multiple grasping mechanisms, and the corresponding number is selected according to actual processing needs, and a single grasping mechanism corresponds to a single steering column. The end of the connecting tube 11 is connected to the moving block 13, one end of the connecting rod 10 is connected to the magnetic head 5, and the other end is inserted into the connecting tube 11. The sliding block 16 is used to guide the connecting rod 10, and the spring 2 15 is used to drive the sliding block 16 to move in the direction close to the magnetic head 5. When grabbing four steering columns, the processing device transports the column to the conveying platform, and the conveying platform transports the column to the designated grabbing position. Then the robot moves the cross plate 1 to press the magnetic head 5 on the steering column. The connecting rod 10 moves up relative to the connecting tube 11, and the spring 2 15 is compressed. The spring 2 15 applies a downward thrust to the magnetic head 5, which can make the connecting surface 12 fit in the connection with the column, making it easy to adsorb and fix the column to prevent the hidden danger of loose delivery and falling during transportation. The moving block 13 is movably connected to the cross plate 1, and the moving block 13 is connected to a positioning mechanism for positioning the moving block 13.

[0021] The top of the transverse plate 1 is connected to a connecting frame 4, which is connected to the robot's mechanical arm. The robot drives the mechanical arm to move the transverse plate 1, thereby facilitating the transportation of the steering column.

[0022] The grabbing mechanism further includes two guide grooves 14 , which are provided in the connecting tube 11 , and the sliding block 16 is slidably connected to the guide grooves 14 . The guide grooves 14 provide good guidance for the sliding block 16 , so that the connecting rod 10 and the magnetic head 5 can move stably.

[0023] The bottom of the magnetic head 5 is provided with a connecting surface 12, the cross section of which is a semicircular structure and matches the diameter of the steering column, making it easy to connect to the steering column. The magnetic head 5 is connected to the midpoint of the steering column to avoid center of gravity shift.

[0024] The second spring 15 is located in the guide groove 14 , and both ends of the second spring 15 are connected to the connecting tube 11 and the sliding block 16 .

[0025] The transverse plate 1 is provided with a plurality of rectangular holes 2 , and the moving blocks 13 are slidably connected to the corresponding rectangular holes 2 , thereby improving the stability of the movement of the moving blocks 13 .

[0026] The positioning mechanism includes a pressing plate 3, a connecting column 6, a spring 17, two positioning rods 8, a slide 17, and a guide block 18. The ends of the connecting column 6 are connected to the guide block 18 and the movable block 13. The slide 17 is disposed within the pressing plate 3, and the guide block 18 is slidably connected to the slide 17. The spring 17 is used to drive the pressing plate 3 toward the movable block 13. The positioning rods 8 are connected to the bottom ends of the pressing plate 3. The pressing plate 3 can be lifted to drive the two positioning rods 8 upward, separating the positioning rods 8 from the positioning slot 9 and releasing the movable block 13. At this time, the spring 17 is stretched, driving the movable block 13 to move, which can synchronously drive the movement of the magnetic head 5, thereby changing the position of the magnetic head 5. This mechanism is suitable for the adsorption and fixation of steering columns of different lengths and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. When the magnetic head 5 is in a suitable position, the pressing plate 3 is released, and the stretched spring 7 drives the pressing plate 3 back to its original position, so that the positioning rod 8 is connected to the corresponding positioning slot 9, thereby limiting the moving block 13 and then locking and fixing the magnetic head 5, thereby improving the stability of the magnetic head 5 and making the operation simple and convenient.

[0027] A plurality of positioning grooves 9 are provided on the top of the transverse plate 1 , and the ends of the positioning rods 8 match the positioning grooves 9 .

[0028] Spring 1 7 is sleeved on the connecting column 6 , and both ends of spring 1 7 are connected to the moving block 13 and the pressing plate 3 .

[0029] The cross-section of the guide block 18 and the slide groove 17 is a regular polygonal structure. When the pressing plate 3 is raised or lowered, the guide block 18 slides in the slide groove 17, so that the pressing plate 3 and the two positioning rods 8 can only move vertically, which facilitates the subsequent docking of the positioning rod 8 with the positioning groove 9.

[0030] Working principle: The robot drives the connecting frame 4 and the cross plate 1 to move, so that the magnetic head 5 is pressed against the corresponding steering column. At this time, the connecting rod 10 and the sliding block 16 move upward relative to the connecting cylinder 11, and the spring 15 is compressed, exerting a downward thrust on the magnetic head 5, so that the connecting surface 12 is connected to the magnetic head 5. Then the magnetic head 5 is connected to the power supply to generate a magnetic effect, which can adsorb the column, and then the column is transported into the box. Finally, the power is disconnected to eliminate the magnetic force on the magnetic head 5, which is convenient for unloading the column. The stacked columns are relatively neat, which is convenient for subsequent processing. The operation is simple and convenient, replacing traditional manual labor, saving time and effort. When facing magnetic heads 5 of different lengths, the pressing plate 3 can be lifted to separate the positioning rod 8 from the positioning slot 9, so as to loosen the moving block 13. At this time, the spring 1 7 is stretched, and then the moving block 13 is driven to move, which can change the position of the magnetic head 5 and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual processing needs. When the magnetic head 5 is in a suitable position, the pressing plate 3 is directly released, and the stretched spring 7 drives the pressing plate 3 back to its original position, so that the positioning rod 8 is docked with the positioning groove 9, thereby limiting and fixing the pressing plate 3, thereby improving the stability of the magnetic head 5 and facilitating connection with the steering column.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
