Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a multi-style material-retrieving manipulator, comprising a body 1, a material bin 2 being provided on the upper surface of the body 1, a Y-axis slide 4 being provided above the material bin 2, a primary guide column 5 being fixedly mounted on one side of the lower surface of the Y-axis slide 4, and a secondary guide column 13 being fixedly mounted on the other side of the lower surface of the Y-axis slide 4;

[0026] Please refer to the instruction manual for details Figure 3-5As shown, a connecting column 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the primary guide column 5, and two groups of secondary material-retrieving claws 9 and two groups of linear clamps 10 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting column 8 by bolts. The secondary material-retrieving claws 9 and the linear clamps 10 are evenly spaced and circumferentially distributed through the center point of the connecting column 8. The secondary material-retrieving claws 9 and the linear clamps 10 are arranged opposite to each other in pairs. The outer surfaces of the secondary material-retrieving claws 9 and the linear clamps 10 are provided with fixing holes 12 that are evenly spaced and linearly distributed. Each secondary material-retrieving claw 9 and the linear clamp 10 are provided with an L-shaped clamp 11, and the L-shaped clamp 11 is provided with a secondary hole that is adapted to the fixing hole 12.

[0027] According to the above structure, when the first manipulator structure of this structural design is in use, the relative structural design of the two L-shaped clamping jaws 11 can be used in conjunction with the structure between the L-shaped clamping jaws 11 to complete the clamping and picking of the material, and the spacing between the L-shaped clamping jaws 11 can be adjusted by installing in the fixing holes 12 at different positions, thereby changing the overall mechanical clamping size. The clamping distance between the L-shaped clamping jaws 11 has dynamic adjustability, so that the first mechanical clamping structure of the utility model has good size structure adaptability, and can be dynamically adjusted according to materials of different sizes, effectively reducing the limitations of use and having a good size application range;

[0028] Furthermore, a bidirectional cylinder 6 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the side of the first-level guide column 5 by a fixing bolt, and the output rods on both sides of the bidirectional cylinder 6 are fixedly installed with a first-level material-retrieving claw 7;

[0029] With this structural design, the two-way air cylinder 6 can drive the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 to expand outwards through the output rod. At this time, the distance between the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 increases, and the material can be placed between the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7. When the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 are retracted inwardly under the action of the two-way air cylinder 6, the distance between the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 is reduced, so that the material between them can be clamped. Through the driving effect of the two-way air cylinder 6, the first-level material-grabbing claws can be expanded, embraced, and retracted to clamp the material, thereby having an automated material mechanical clamping effect. The second mechanical clamping structure of the utility model adopts a vertical surface clamping structural design. Therefore, by cooperating with the above-mentioned first mechanical clamping structure, the utility model can mechanically clamp the material on the horizontal surface in the same device, and can also fixedly clamp the material on the vertical surface, thereby having the use effect of dual working surfaces and multiple clamping, effectively reducing the limitations caused by the existing single-sided clamping and improving the performance of use.

[0030] Furthermore, a nozzle plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the secondary guide column 13, and a plurality of evenly distributed vacuum nozzles 15 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the nozzle plate 14;

[0031] This structural design can fix the material by negative pressure adsorption through the vacuum suction nozzle 15, thereby achieving a negative pressure adsorption transfer and fixation effect, improving the fixation diversity of the utility model robot when transferring materials, having better use effect and good practicality.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the normal axial transmission of the Y-axis slide 4 of the present invention and ensure the displacement effect, a column 3 is fixedly installed on the back of the fuselage 1, and an X-axis threaded slide 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the column 3. The X-axis threaded slide 16 is threadedly connected to the Z-axis threaded slide 17;

[0033] Among them, the Z-axis threaded slide 17 is threadedly connected to the Y-axis threaded slide 18, and the Y-axis threaded slide 18 is slidably connected to the Y-axis slide 4;

[0034] The X-axis threaded slide 16, the Z-axis threaded slide 17 and the Y-axis threaded slide 18 are all common threaded transmission structures, that is, common threaded transmission structures composed of a motor, a screw, a threaded seat and a guide rail;

[0035] In this structure, the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to the screw, which is threadedly connected to the threaded seat. At the same time, the threaded seat is slidably connected to the guide rail. When the motor rotates during operation, it drives the screw to rotate through the output shaft. When the screw rotates, the threaded seat threadedly connected thereto will perform axial linear displacement, thereby ensuring normal thread transmission operation. Since the above-mentioned transmission assembly is a commonly used transmission structure in industrial machinery and has become a public and mature technical solution, this specification does not elaborate on it in detail.

[0036] The present invention has an X-axis threaded slide 16, a Z-axis threaded slide 17 and a Y-axis threaded slide 18, which can drive the robot below to move left and right, up and down, and forward and backward respectively when each transmission component is working, thereby ensuring a normal material picking effect and having the effect of three-axis linkage, effectively reducing usage limitations.

[0037] Working principle: When the first manipulator structure of the present invention is in use, the relative structural design of the two L-shaped clamping jaws 11 is used to complete the work of clamping and picking up materials through the structure between the L-shaped clamping jaws 11. The spacing between the L-shaped clamping jaws 11 can be adjusted by installing the fixing holes 12 in different positions, thereby changing the overall mechanical clamping size. The clamping distance between the L-shaped clamping jaws 11 has dynamic adjustability, so that the first mechanical clamping structure of the present invention has good size structure adaptability, and can dynamically adjust the clamping size according to materials of different sizes, effectively reducing the limitations of use and having a good size application range.

[0038] At the same time, the bidirectional air cylinder 6 can drive the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 to expand outwards through the output rod. At this time, the distance between the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 increases, and the material can be placed between the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7. When the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 are retracted inwardly under the action of the bidirectional air cylinder 6, the distance between the two first-level material-grabbing claws 7 is reduced, so that the material between them can be clamped. Through the driving effect of the bidirectional air cylinder 6, the first-level material-grabbing claws can be expanded, embraced and retracted to clamp the material, thereby having an automated material mechanical clamping effect. The second mechanical clamping structure of the utility model adopts a vertical surface clamping structural design. Therefore, by cooperating with the above-mentioned first mechanical clamping structure, the utility model can mechanically clamp the material on the horizontal surface in the same device, and can also fixedly clamp the material on the vertical surface, thereby having the use effect of dual working surfaces and multiple clamping, effectively reducing the limitations caused by the existing single-sided clamping and improving the performance of use.

[0039] Finally, the vacuum suction nozzle 15 can be used to fix the material under negative pressure, thereby achieving a negative pressure adsorption transfer and fixation effect, thereby improving the fixation diversity of the manipulator when transferring materials, having a better use effect and good practicality;

[0040] The manipulator of the present invention is provided with an X-axis threaded slide 16, a Z-axis threaded slide 17 and a Y-axis threaded slide 18. When each transmission component is working, the X-axis threaded slide 16, the Z-axis threaded slide 17 and the Y-axis threaded slide 18 can drive the manipulator below to perform left and right, up and down, and front and back displacement respectively, thereby ensuring normal material picking, transfer and discharge work, and ensuring the normal clamping and transfer work of the manipulator. At the same time, it has the use effect of three-axis linkage, effectively reducing the limitations of use.

[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
