Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting equipment, and more specifically, to a feeding mechanical claw for wheel hub casting. Background Art

[0002] In the aluminum wheel manufacturing industry, loading, as the primary step in the casting process, has a direct impact on the overall production line flow and the quality of the final product. Currently, most manufacturers still rely on traditional manual loading. While this method has met production needs to a certain extent, its inherent limitations are becoming increasingly prominent, becoming a bottleneck restricting the industry's development.

[0003] Traditional manual loading relies on the operator's physical strength and experience, manually moving the wheel hub raw material into the casting mold. This method is simple and straightforward, but it has the following drawbacks: manual loading is time-consuming and limited by manpower, making it difficult to achieve high-speed, continuous operation, which seriously restricts the overall production capacity of the production line. Manual operation often makes it difficult to ensure the precise position and angle of each loading, which can easily lead to casting defects and affect the stability and consistency of product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a feeding robot gripper for wheel hub casting.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model discloses a feeding robot claw for wheel hub casting, comprising a connecting flange, a mounting column connected to the front side of the connecting flange, a center rod connected to the front side of the mounting column, a telescopic cylinder installed on the upper part of the center rod, the end of the telescopic cylinder away from the connecting flange is driven and connected to a hoop plate, an air blowing nozzle is installed on the hoop plate, a gear sleeve arm plate and a filter arm plate are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the connecting flange, a gear sleeve air claw is installed on the end of the gear sleeve arm plate away from the connecting flange, the gear sleeve air claw is driven and connected to two clamping fingers, and a filter air claw is installed on the end of the filter arm plate away from the connecting flange, and the filter air claw is driven and connected to two movable fingers.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting arm is connected to the side of the filter arm plate opposite to the side where the filter air claw is installed, and a positioning cone is installed on the mounting arm.

[0008] Furthermore, an anti-skid pad is installed on the side where the two clamping fingers are relatively close to each other, and the anti-skid pad is located at the end of the clamping finger away from the gear sleeve air gripper.

[0009] Furthermore, positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the connecting flange, and mounting blocks are connected to one end of the gear sleeve arm plate and the filter arm plate close to the connecting flange, and the mounting blocks are installed in the positioning grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, a fluid infusion cup is connected to the front end of the central rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a protective plate is installed on the central rod, and the protective plate is located on the side of the telescopic cylinder.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the robotic gripper can continuously and stably complete actions such as grasping, carrying, and releasing. Compared with the traditional manual loading method, the production efficiency is greatly improved and the production cycle can be shortened; the need for direct manual participation in high-risk operations such as high temperature and heavy object handling is reduced, thereby greatly reducing the incidence of work-related accidents and ensuring the safety and health of production personnel.

[0016] 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.

[0017] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 The figure shows a wheel hub casting loading robot gripper, including a connecting flange 1, which is used to connect to the robot component, ensuring a stable and accurate connection of the overall structure. Multiple hollow interfaces are opened on the connecting flange 1, effectively reducing weight while ensuring sufficient strength and providing multiple options for the layout of gas lines.

[0018] The front side of the connecting flange 1 is connected to the mounting post 2, which is connected to the front side of the mounting post 2. The front side of the mounting post 2 is connected to the center rod 3, and the front end of the center rod 3 is connected to the refill cup 4. The refill cup 4 is mainly used to feed the casting filtrate in the mold after it shrinks for a period of time. The refill cup 4 has a hollow double-layer structure that can effectively keep the filtrate warm. During operation, the robot reaches a designated position to receive the molten filtrate. After receiving the refill command, it refills the filtrate into the mold gate, thus completing the shrinkage function.

[0019] A telescopic cylinder 5 is mounted on the top of the center rod 3. The end of the telescopic cylinder 5, away from the connecting flange 1, is driven by a clamp plate 6. Mounted on this clamp plate 6 is an air nozzle 7, which is connected to an air pump via a pipe. The clamp plate 6 connects the air nozzle 7 to the drive end of the telescopic cylinder 5, forming a stable holding structure that prevents the air nozzle 7 from falling out during frequent telescopic and retracting operations. The telescopic cylinder 5 drives the clamp plate 6 to adjust the position of the air nozzle 7. The air nozzle 7 is used to clean the mold interior before or after release, further ensuring product quality.

[0020] The left and right sides of the connecting flange 1 are respectively equipped with a gear sleeve arm plate 14 and a filter arm plate 9. The end of the gear sleeve arm plate 14 away from the connecting flange 1 is equipped with a gear sleeve air gripper 15, which is driven by two clamping fingers 16. The gear sleeve air gripper 15 drives the two clamping fingers 16 to move closer or farther away to achieve the clamping, grasping or releasing of the gear sleeve.

[0021] A filter air gripper 10 is installed at the end of the filter arm plate 9 away from the connecting flange 1. The filter air gripper 10 is driven and connected to two movable fingers 11. The filter air gripper 10 can drive the two to rotate relatively close or away, so as to adapt to conical filters of different sizes or postures, thereby achieving precise grasping.

[0022] Furthermore, a mounting arm 12 is connected to the side of the filter arm plate 9 opposite to the one on which the filter gripper 10 is mounted, and a positioning cone 13 is mounted on the mounting arm 12. The positioning cone 13 is used to quickly locate the center of the conical filter when grabbing it and to support the conical filter to maintain a certain posture, thereby improving the grabbing accuracy and discharge accuracy of the conical filter.

[0023] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad 17 is installed on the side where the two clamping fingers 16 are relatively close to each other, and the anti-slip pad 17 is located at the end of the clamping finger 16 away from the gear sleeve air claw 15. The anti-slip pad 17 can increase the friction between the clamping finger 16 and the gear sleeve to prevent the gear sleeve from slipping during transportation.

[0024] Furthermore, positioning slots 18 are defined on both the left and right sides of the connecting flange 1. Mounting blocks 19 are connected to the ends of the gear sleeve arm plate 14 and the filter arm plate 9 near the connecting flange 1. The mounting blocks 19 on the gear sleeve arm plate 14 and the filter arm plate 9 are installed within the corresponding positioning slots 18. Specifically, the mounting blocks 19 have several through-holes, and threaded holes are provided on the side of the connecting flange 1 at positions corresponding to the positioning slots 18. Bolts pass through the through-holes of the mounting blocks 19 and are screwed into the threaded holes of the connecting flange 1. The mounting blocks 19 are secured by bolts, thereby securing the gear sleeve arm plate 14 and the filter arm plate 9 to the side of the connecting flange 1.

[0025] Furthermore, a protective plate 8 is installed on the center rod 3, and the protective plate 8 is located on the side of the telescopic cylinder 5 to prevent external factors such as high-temperature filtrate from damaging the claw structure, air path and line, while improving operational safety.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
