Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printing and dyeing equipment, in particular to a manipulator of a liquid dripping machine. Background Art

[0002] A dropper, also known as a dropper, is a production equipment that can quickly and accurately obtain a mixed solution of a specified color according to a formula. Specifically, multiple powder cans containing powders of corresponding colors are taken out in a certain proportion and mixed in a dye bottle to form solutions of different colors. The solutions in these dye bottles are then dripped into the dye cup in a certain proportion by a dropper device to obtain a mixed solution of the specified color.

[0003] The traditional dropper's manipulator has a simple structure and only has a single function, such as grabbing a powder can, grabbing a dye bottle, or opening the switch component of the powder can. Therefore, it is necessary to equip manipulators with different functions to complete the above actions, which makes the entire structure complicated and inconvenient to operate.

These drawings form part of the disclosure of this invention and are primarily used to illustrate the embodiments and, in conjunction with the relevant description in the specification, to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. By referring to these drawings, those skilled in the art will understand other possible implementations and the advantages of this invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar reference numerals are generally used to represent similar components.

[0017] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a manipulator for a liquid dropping machine (hereinafter referred to as the manipulator), which is assembled on the Z-axis motion module of the liquid dropping machine to be used for motion control of the powder tank, dye bottle and other processing tools of the liquid dropping machine.

[0019] The manipulator of this embodiment includes a mounting bracket 3, an air gripper 2 and a liftable pressing plate 1 assembled on the mounting bracket 3, wherein the air gripper 2 and the pressing plate 1 are arranged up and down.

[0020] Air gripper 2 is used to grip and release the dripping machine. Figure 2 The powder tank 7 shown and Figure 3 The dye bottle 8 shown has two clamping jaws 21 that can clamp each other. The inner side of the clamping jaws 21 is set to a curved surface, and the curved surface matches the head shape of the powder tank 7 and the bottle mouth shape of the dye bottle 8 respectively, so as to ensure that the curved surface of the clamping jaws 21 clamps the head of the powder tank 7 and the bottle mouth of the dye bottle 8.

[0021] The pressing plate 1 is used to control the opening and closing of the feeding hole 73 of the powder tank 7, and has a clearance window 11 for the head of the powder tank 7 and the bottle mouth of the dye bottle 8 to pass through. When the pressing plate 1 is pressed down, the head of the powder tank 7 passes through the clearance window 11 and presses down the movable part 71 of the switch component of the powder tank 7 to open the feeding hole 73.

[0022] The manipulator of this embodiment also includes a lifting cylinder 4, a guide rod 9 and a guide seat 10. The lifting cylinder 4 and the guide seat 10 are both fixed to the mounting bracket 3. The upper end of the guide rod 9 is fixed to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 4. The lower end of the guide rod 9 can be slid through the guide seat 10 and fixed to the pressure plate 1. Specifically, the guide seat 10 is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide rod 9. The guide rod 9 can be slidably passed through the guide groove to enable the lifting cylinder 4 to drive the pressure plate 1 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0023] In addition, this embodiment adopts the powder tank 7 belonging to the prior art, the drop hole 73 of the powder tank 7 is located at the bottom thereof, and the movable part 71 of the switch member is located in the middle of the powder tank 7, and its specific details are not described in detail.

[0024] The powder tank 7 and dye bottle 8 of the liquid dropper are clamped and released by the air gripper 2, and the opening and closing of the drop hole 73 of the powder tank 7 are controlled by the pressure plate 1. The air gripper 2 and the pressure plate 1 are both mounted on the same mounting bracket 3 to form a manipulator of the liquid dropper, so that the same manipulator can not only grasp and release the powder tank 7 and dye bottle 8, but also take into account the switch component of opening the powder tank 7. In addition, the manipulator of this embodiment has a compact structure and is easy to operate.

[0025] In another preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder of the air gripper 2 and the lifting cylinder 4 are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting bracket 3 to form a more compact mounting structure.

[0026] In another preferred embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the manipulator of this embodiment also includes a driving motor 6 and a discharge sleeve 5. The powder tank 7 is provided with a screw for facilitating the discharge of the powder inside it. The driving motor 6 is fixed on the mounting bracket 3. When the discharge sleeve 5 is sleeved on the upper end portion 72 of the head of the screw protruding from the powder tank 7, the driving shaft of the driving motor 6 is fixedly connected to the discharge sleeve 5 to drive the discharge sleeve 5 to rotate and drive the screw to rotate, thereby realizing that the rotating screw drives the powder in the powder tank 7 to flow toward the discharge hole 73.

[0027] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to the form and details of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims, and all of these changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
