DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model includes a loading rack, a joint manipulator mechanism and a control system. The control system directs the joint manipulator mechanism to clamp a single curtain piece 7 from the loading rack and place it on the receiving table of the next process. When the single curtain piece 7 on one side of the loading rack is clamped, the loading rack is controlled to rotate. The joint manipulator mechanism includes a manipulator base 1, a manipulator component 2 and a clamp assembly 3. The manipulator component 2 is a six-axis manipulator, fixed by the manipulator base 1, and equipped with a clamp assembly 3; the clamp assembly 3 includes a mounting seat 31, a support 32, a clamping cylinder 33 and a clamp 34. The mounting base 31 is connected to the robotic arm component 2, and a support member 32 is connected below it.

The longitudinal section of the clamping plate 34 is "L"-shaped, and its long plate section is used to clamp the single curtain piece 7, and the short plate section serves as a bottom support for the single curtain piece 7. By arranging two clamping cylinders 33 on the support member 32, the clamp assembly 3 can clamp two positions of the single curtain piece 7 at the same time, which is more conducive to ensuring the balance of the curtain piece during the clamping and transfer process.

[0023] like Figure 3 、 4 As shown, the loading rack includes a support assembly 4 and a rotating assembly 5 located at the support assembly 4, the support assembly 4 includes a base plate 41, a caster 49 located at the lower end surface of the base plate and a plurality of columns 42 arranged longitudinally upward in the middle of the base plate, a crossbeam 43 is provided on the top of the plurality of columns, a plurality of diagonal braces 44 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the columns, the diagonal braces 44 on the same horizontal row are at the same height, and each diagonal brace 44 is provided with a plurality of support seats 45 for placing single curtain pieces 7, and a plurality of single curtain pieces 7 are placed between two support seats 45 and are clamped at one time by a joint robotic arm mechanism, and the caster 49 is a universal wheel and is provided at the four corners of the base plate.

[0024] The rotating assembly 5 of the present invention includes a rotating motor 52, a gear set 53 and a rotating shaft 54. The rotating motor 52 is connected to the control system and is assembled on the base plate 41 through a motor support. The gear set 53 includes a first gear and a second gear that are meshed with each other. The first gear is connected to the output end of the rotating motor 52, and the second gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 54. The rotating shaft 54 ​​is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the base plate 41. When the single curtain piece 7 on one side of the loading rack is clamped, the gear set 53 is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 52, and then the loading rack is driven to rotate, turning the other side of the loading rack close to the joint robotic arm mechanism to facilitate its clamping of the single curtain piece 7 on this side.

[0025] like Figure 5As shown, a plurality of grooves 46 are provided on one side of the diagonal support 44 connected to the support seat 45, and a positioning protrusion (not shown in the figure) cooperating therewith is provided at the bottom of the support seat 45. By inserting the support seat 45 into different grooves and adjusting the distance between the two support seats 45, the number of individual curtain pieces 7 that can be placed between the two support seats 45 is limited, that is, the number of individual curtain pieces 7 that can be placed between every two support seats 45 is certain, and thus the number of individual curtain pieces 7 that can be clamped by the articulated robotic arm mechanism is also certain, and there is no need to count the number of individual curtain pieces 7 a second time.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating assembly 5 also includes a lifting cylinder 55, a fixed column 56 and a fixed seat 57. The lifting cylinder 55 is connected to the control system and is assembled in the center of the base plate 41 through a Z-shaped fixing part. Its output end is connected to the fixed column 56.

A positioning block is provided on the lower end surface of the base plate, and the proximity switch 59 cooperates with the positioning block 48.

[0028] A positioning mark 6 is provided on the ground corresponding to the loading rack of the present invention, and the positioning mark 6 includes a bottom plate mark 61 and a caster mark 62.

[0029] Working process: Manually push the loading rack to the predetermined position to ensure that the positioning block 48 and the proximity switch 59 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the base plate 41. The control system commands the lifting cylinder 55 to push the fixed seat 57 against the ground. The articulated robotic arm mechanism clamps the single curtain piece 7 on the diagonal support 44 of the loading rack in turn and places it on the receiving table of the next process. When the single curtain piece 7 on one side of the loading rack is clamped, the control system commands the rotating motor 52 to drive the gear set to rotate, and the loading rack rotates with the fixed column 56 as the center. When the positioning block 48 rotates to the side of the proximity switch 59, the control system immediately turns off the rotating motor 52, and the articulated robotic arm mechanism continues to clamp the single curtain piece 7 until the single curtain piece 7 is clamped.
