Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical palms, in particular to a multifunctional mechanical palm module. Background Art

[0002] Injection molding, also known as injection molding, is a molding process that combines injection and molding. Its advantages include fast production speed, high efficiency, automated operation, a wide variety of designs and colors, shapes ranging from simple to complex, and sizes ranging from large to small. Furthermore, it produces precise product dimensions, is easily updated, and can produce parts with complex shapes. Injection molding is suitable for mass production and the molding of complex shapes. At a certain temperature, completely molten plastic material is stirred by a screw, injected into a mold cavity at high pressure, and cooled and solidified to produce a molded product. This method is suitable for the mass production of complex parts and is one of the most important processing methods.

[0003] After the injection molding of the injection molded product is completed, it needs to be sucked out of the mold by a suction jig driven by a robot. For example, the prior art Chinese patent CN215969926U discloses a convenient suction jig and an injection molding robot for an injection molding robot, comprising a jig base and a plurality of trachea suction cup assemblies, wherein the trachea suction cup assemblies are mounted on the left and right ends of the jig base; the trachea suction cup assembly comprises an trachea and a suction cup, wherein the upper end of the trachea is mounted on the left and right ends of the jig base, an airway is provided inside the trachea and is connected to an external robot, and the suction cup is mounted on the bottom end of the trachea and is used to suck the product.

[0004] However, the existing suction fixture has a single function and can only perform suction on the injection molded finished product, but cannot perform clamping work on other scattered parts. The material picking method is single and the material picking efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0008] According to the multifunctional robot palm module provided by the utility model, the suction tool assembly further includes two positioning pressure heads located on both sides of the vacuum suction cup. The positioning pressure heads are used to press down and position the injection molded product to be sucked, thereby ensuring the stability of the injection molded product when the vacuum suction cup is performing suction operation, thereby ensuring stable suction.

[0009] Based on the above solution, the substrate surface is formed with a reserved hole groove for the installation of the suction assembly. The main function of the reserved hole groove is to provide reserved space for the installation of the slide cylinder, vacuum suction cup components, etc., and also protect the overall structure and aesthetics of the module.

[0010] The multifunctional robotic palm module provided by this utility model has four gripper cylinders mounted on the bottom surface of the baseboard: two gripper cylinders located in the center of the baseboard, and two gripper cylinders located at each corner. The two gripper cylinders in the center of the baseboard and the two gripper cylinders at the two corners are arranged in a rotating array centered on the center of the baseboard. These gripper cylinders enable the grasping, placement, and release of discrete components, providing flexible operation and high precision.

[0011] Based on the above solution, the clamping jaw cylinder is coupled to a movable pressure head located on the centerline between the two clamping jaws. This movable pressure head is connected to the output end of a lifting cylinder, which is upwardly connected to the base plate. The movable pressure head is used to press down and position the part to be clamped, ensuring the stability of the part when the clamping jaw cylinder is performing the clamping operation, ensuring a secure grip.

[0012] Based on the above solution, the front inner wall of the clamping jaw is recessed to form a curved clamping groove, which is adapted to the clamping work of circular parts.

[0013] Based on the above solution, vertical positioning columns are provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the substrate. The main function of the positioning columns is to accurately locate the position between the robot palm module and the mold to ensure that the robot palm module can work smoothly.

[0014] Based on the above solution, a positioning plug having a smaller diameter than the positioning post is formed at the bottom end of the positioning post, so as to facilitate accurate locking between the positioning post and the mold.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of the present invention are: the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The suction device assembly and the clamping claw cylinder can work independently. The suction device assembly is used to suck the injection molded product, and the clamping claw cylinder is used to clamp the dispersed parts. The injection molded product or dispersed parts are moved to the next workstation with the robot palm module. The suction or clamping effect is high, and the suction or clamping is stable and reliable, avoiding falling during the transportation process, thereby ensuring the production quality of the product.

The embodiment of the present invention proposes a multifunctional manipulator palm module, comprising a horizontally arranged base plate 1, a connecting portion 2, i.e., a connecting flange, is provided on one side of the top thereof for connecting to the working end of an external robot; a through hole 11 is provided on the surface of the base plate 1, and two groups of gripper assemblies 3 are arranged in a rotating array with the through hole 11 as the center on the base plate 1, the gripper assemblies 3 comprising a vertically arranged slide cylinder 31 and a vacuum suction cup 32 vertically connected to the output end of the slide cylinder 31, that is, the slide cylinder 31 drives the vacuum suction cup 32 to move up and down so that the vacuum suction cup approaches the injection molded product or moves the sucked injection molded product to the next workstation; a plurality of gripper cylinders 4 are also installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 1, the gripper cylinder 4 having two gripper jaws 41 capable of performing horizontal gripping actions, and the gripper cylinder 4 drives the two gripper jaws 41 to move closer or farther away so as to perform gripping or releasing actions on the secondary product.

[0025] When in use, the suction device assembly 3 and the clamping cylinder 4 can work independently. The suction device assembly 3 is used to suck the injection molded product, while the clamping cylinder 4 is used to clamp the dispersed parts. The injection molded product or dispersed parts are moved to the next workstation with the robot palm module.

[0026] The suction assembly 3 further includes two positioning pressure heads 33 distributed on both sides of the vacuum suction cup 32. The positioning pressure heads are used to press down and position the injection molded product to be sucked, ensuring the stability of the injection molded product when the vacuum suction cup is performing the suction work on the injection molded product, and ensuring stable suction.

[0027] The substrate 1 has pre-set holes 12 on its surface for mounting the gripper assembly 3, namely the slide cylinder 31 and the vacuum cup 32. These holes provide space for mounting the slide cylinder and vacuum cup, while also protecting the overall structure and aesthetics of the module.

[0028] In this embodiment, four gripper cylinders 4 are mounted on the bottom surface of the base plate 1: two in the center, and two at each corner. The two central and two corner gripper cylinders are arranged in a rotating array around the center of the base plate. These multiple gripper cylinders enable the grabbing, placement, and release of discrete components, providing flexible operation and exceptionally high precision.
