[0028] The utility model provides an end fixture for loading and unloading equipment, which forms a first clamping space and a second clamping space respectively by setting a first clamping component and a second clamping component, so that the fixture can flexibly adapt to products of different shapes and sizes, especially for components such as the middle frame of a mobile phone with complex contours and hollow structures, it can achieve more accurate and stable clamping, thereby improving the versatility and compatibility of the production line. The third clamping member and the fourth clamping member of the second clamping component are respectively set on both sides of the first clamping component. Such a layout is not only beneficial to the overall balance and stability of the fixture, but also can effectively utilize space, reduce the interference of the fixture with the surrounding environment or other equipment during operation, and improve the overall efficiency and safety of the production line. Since the clamping component adopts a modular design, the fixture is more convenient and quick when maintenance and adjustment are required. At the same time, according to the production needs of different models of products, the clamping components can be quickly replaced or adjusted to achieve rapid model change of the production line and reduce debugging time and cost. Example

[0029] The present invention provides an end fixture for loading and unloading equipment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the jig body 10 includes a first connecting surface 110 and a second connecting surface 120; a first clamping component 20, the first clamping component 20 includes a first clamping member 210 and a second clamping member 220, and a first clamping space 230 is provided between the first clamping member 210 and the second clamping member 220; a second clamping component 30, the second clamping component 30 includes a third clamping member 310 and a fourth clamping member 320, and a second clamping space 330 is provided between the third clamping member 310 and the fourth clamping member 320; the first clamping component 20 and the second clamping component 30 are both arranged on the second connecting surface 120, and the third clamping member 310 and the fourth clamping member 320 are respectively provided on both sides of the first clamping component 20.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, more specifically, the embodiment of the present invention provides an end fixture of a loading and unloading device that further includes a positioning assembly 40. The positioning assembly 40 includes a first positioning member 410 and a second positioning member 420. The first positioning member 410 and the second positioning member 420 are respectively arranged on either side of the first clamping space 230. It can be understood that the positioning assembly 40 is mainly used to assist the first clamping assembly 20 in completing the clamping operation. During the clamping process, the first positioning member 410 and the second positioning member 420 can push the product to achieve the product's alignment relative to the first clamping assembly 20, thereby facilitating the first clamping assembly 20 to clamp the product.

[0031] As can be understood, the introduction of the positioning assembly 40, particularly the first and second positioning members 410 and 420, respectively positioned on either side of the first clamping space 230, enables preliminary positioning of the product prior to the clamping operation. This effectively addresses the difficulty in clamping caused by the unstable position or posture of the product. By pushing the product to achieve alignment, the first clamping assembly 20 can more accurately clamp the product to the predetermined position, thereby improving the accuracy and success rate of clamping. During the clamping process, the positioning assembly 40 not only serves to straighten the product but also, to a certain extent, limits the product's range of movement, providing a stable clamping environment for the first clamping assembly 20. This dual safeguard mechanism significantly enhances clamping stability and reduces the likelihood of clamping failures or product damage caused by product shaking or deviation. Thanks to the auxiliary function of the positioning assembly 40, the first clamping assembly 20 can complete the clamping operation more quickly and accurately. This not only shortens the processing time of a single product, but also reduces the number of readjustments or retries required due to clamping failures, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency and production capacity of the production line. In automated loading and unloading equipment, the automated operation of the positioning assembly 40 reduces the need for manual intervention, making the entire gripping process smoother and more efficient. Operators only need to monitor the equipment's operating status, eliminating the need to frequently adjust product position or posture, thereby streamlining the operational process and reducing labor intensity. The coordinated operation of the positioning assembly 40 and the gripping assembly enables the end fixture to better adapt to products of varying shapes, sizes, and materials. This high adaptability enables the fixture to be widely used in a variety of production scenarios, improving equipment utilization and flexibility.

[0032] Specifically, the positioning assembly 40 further includes a first positioning drive member 430, which is connected to the first positioning member 410 and / or the second positioning member 420. It is understandable that the first positioning drive member 430 can drive the first positioning member 410 and / or the second positioning member 420 to move in a parallel direction relative to the jig body 10, so that the first positioning member 410 and the second positioning member 420 are closer to or farther away from each other. More specifically, the positioning assembly 40 further includes a second positioning drive member 440, which is connected to the first positioning drive member 430. It is understandable that the second positioning drive member 440 can drive the first positioning member 410 and / or the second positioning member 420 to move in a vertical direction relative to the jig body 10, so that the first positioning member 410 and / or the second positioning member 420 are closer to or farther away from the jig body 10.

[0033] In this way, by introducing the first positioning drive member 430 and the second positioning drive member 440, the positioning assembly 40 can precisely control the first positioning member 410 and the second positioning member 420 in the parallel direction and the vertical direction. This multi-dimensional movement capability enables the jig to flexibly adjust the position and posture of the positioning members according to different product characteristics and clamping requirements, thereby achieving effective positioning and clamping of products with complex shapes and irregular sizes. The bidirectional drive function of the positioning assembly 40 enables the first positioning member 410 and the second positioning member 420 to cooperate with each other to push the product to the predetermined position at different speeds and forces. This adaptability not only improves the accuracy and stability of clamping, but also can reduce the impact and damage to the product itself to a certain extent, ensuring product quality and production safety.

[0034] The first clamping assembly 20 may further include a first driving member 240, which is connected to the first clamping member 210 and / or the second clamping member 220. It is understood that the first driving member 240 can drive the first clamping member 210 and / or the second clamping member 220 to move in a parallel direction relative to the fixture body 10, so that the first clamping member 210 and the second clamping member 220 move closer to or further away from each other. More specifically, a protrusion 250 may be provided at one end of the first clamping member 210 and / or the second clamping member 220. The protrusion 250 can be used to assist or enhance the gripping of items.

[0035] In this way, the introduction of the first driving member 240 enables the first clamping member 210 and the second clamping member 220 to move relative to each other in parallel directions, thereby achieving effective clamping of products of different sizes and shapes. This dynamic adjustment capability significantly improves the adaptability and flexibility of the clamping assembly, allowing the jig to easily cope with various complex production needs. The bump 250 can assist the clamping member to fit more closely to the surface of the product, increase the stability and reliability of the clamping, and can also disperse the clamping force to a certain extent, reducing damage to the product itself. Especially when clamping fragile or easily deformed products, the role of the bump 250 is more significant. Since the first clamping assembly 20 has the ability to dynamically adjust and is equipped with the bump 250 to enhance the clamping effect, the entire clamping process is faster and more accurate. This helps to shorten the production cycle, improve production efficiency, and reduce downtime and cost losses caused by clamping failure.

[0036] Specifically, the second gripping assembly 30 also includes a second driving member 340, with the third gripping member 310 and the fourth gripping member 320 each connected to a second driving member 340. It will be appreciated that the second driving member 340 can drive the third gripping member 310 and / or the fourth gripping member 320 to move vertically relative to the jig body 10, causing the third gripping member 310 and / or the fourth gripping member 320 to move closer to or further from the jig body 10. More specifically, each of the third gripping member 310 and the fourth gripping member 320 is provided with a clamping jaw 350 at one end. The clamping jaw 350 can be used to grip blister packs or similar items. The introduction of the second driving member 340 enables the third gripping member 310 and the fourth gripping member 320 to move independently in the vertical direction, enhancing the flexibility of the gripping assembly. The design of the clamping jaw 350 is one of the highlights of the second gripping assembly 30. They are specifically designed for gripping blister packs and similar items, providing a more secure grip and reducing the risk of slippage or displacement. This targeted clamping method not only improves the accuracy of clamping, but also protects the clamped objects from damage, ensuring the smooth progress of the production process.

[0037] It is understandable that the end fixture of the loading and unloading equipment provided by the embodiment of the present invention is compatible with the four functions of picking up and placing the hamburger jig, picking up and placing the hamburger jig cover, picking up and placing the product, and picking up and placing the blister box. The original jig could only pick up and place the product and the blister box. The new jig has a simpler structure and concise wiring. The entire jig adopts a clamping method, which has many advantages compared to suction cup suction. For example, the clamp clamping has good centering, does not require complex debugging when changing products, saves debugging time, meets the purpose of point-to-point displacement of the robot, does not require re-debugging the robot jig position, has good batch importability, and meets the consistency requirements of multiple machines. The application of the new jig can eliminate the structure of re-positioning the product, that is, there is no need for secondary positioning, because the clamping has good centering and meets the point-to-point displacement requirements. In this way, a precision engraving machine can complete the precision engraving of the front and four sides of the product. The previous solution could only meet the precision engraving of the front and two sides, and could not rotate 90° to engrave the other two sides. The new jig uses the robot's sixth axis to complete a 90° rotation. The new fixture avoids debugging difficulties during product changes and saves debugging time. It can grip products that meet the required dimensions within the 350° travel range of the gripper. Previously, we considered using a quick-release robot end fixture, but now we don't have to worry about this issue with the new fixture, effectively avoiding the problem. The original fixture was approximately 5 kg, and the robot's load mass was 7 kg. In theory, the lighter the weight of the robot's end fixture, the better. However, in situations where acceleration and deceleration requirements are relatively high, the heavier the mass, the greater the inertia of the robot's end fixture. If the inertia of the robot's motor cannot match the weight of the load, the robot will frequently issue alarm prompts or even be damaged. The new fixture weighs only 3.5 kg, further reducing the load on the robot's end, making the robot more flexible and efficient. By saving a lot of debugging time, the production line's production capacity has been greatly improved, saving manpower.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention provides an end fixture for loading and unloading equipment, which forms a first clamping space and a second clamping space respectively by setting a first clamping component and a second clamping component, so that the fixture can flexibly adapt to products of different shapes and sizes, especially for components such as the middle frame of a mobile phone with complex contours and hollow structures, it can achieve more precise and stable clamping, thereby improving the versatility and compatibility of the production line. The third clamping member and the fourth clamping member of the second clamping component are respectively arranged on both sides of the first clamping component. Such a layout is not only beneficial to the overall balance and stability of the fixture, but also can effectively utilize space, reduce the interference of the fixture with the surrounding environment or other equipment during operation, and improve the overall efficiency and safety of the production line. Since the clamping component adopts a modular design, the fixture is more convenient and quick when maintenance and adjustment are required. At the same time, according to the production needs of different models of products, the clamping components can be quickly replaced or adjusted to achieve rapid model change of the production line and reduce debugging time and cost.

[0039] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
