Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clamps, in particular to the technical field of single-side clamping manipulators, and specifically to a non-powered single-side clamping manipulator for a multi-station drawing die. Background Art
[0002] A multi-station transfer drawing die is a die that transfers the sheet and the drawing blank in the die and completes a specific drawing process between different stations. Compared with the ordinary continuous drawing method, its biggest feature is that the multi-station drawing uses a robot to transfer the sheet, thereby improving the material utilization rate and the diversity of the production process. Therefore, the robot is very important in the multi-station drawing process. In traditional multi-station drawing, the clamping or transfer of the sheet or blank is generally carried out by clamping on both sides at the same time or by clamping on one side with a cylinder. The disadvantage of double-sided clamping is that the robots on both sides block the line of sight, which is inconvenient for mold adjustment and has high cost. Although the single-sided robot solves the problem of line of sight obstruction, it is necessary to add a clamping cylinder to the robot to fix and transfer the parts, which increases the cost and the need to increase the control of the cylinder, which increases instability. Therefore, it is necessary to design a mechanical gripper that can perform single-sided clamping without a cylinder. Summary of the Invention

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the specific embodiments of the present invention. The same figure marks in the drawings represent the same parts. It should be noted that the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Compared to the embodiments shown in the drawings, feasible embodiments within the scope of protection of the present invention may have fewer components, other components not shown in the drawings, different components, differently arranged components, or differently connected components, etc. In addition, two or more components in the drawings may be implemented in a single component, or a single component shown in the drawings may be implemented as multiple separate components.
[0038] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which the present invention belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar terms used in the specification and claims of the present utility model patent application do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, words such as "a" or "an" do not necessarily indicate a quantity limitation. Words such as "include" or "comprising" mean that the elements or objects preceding the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0039] The utility model proposes a non-powered single-sided clamping robot for a multi-station drawing die, which is used in the design process of the single-sided clamping robot. The utility model does not limit the specifications and types of the clamped parts, but the nylon bracket 1, clamping drive channel 12, roller clamping module 2 and elastic drive module 3 structure are particularly suitable for enabling the single-sided clamping robot to have a clamping function without using a cylinder.
[0040] In general, the unpowered single-side clamping manipulator for multi-station drawing dies proposed in the present invention mainly includes: a nylon bracket 1, a clamping drive channel 12, a roller clamping module 2 and an elastic drive module 3. Figure 1 , which shows the arrangement relationship of the nylon bracket 1, the clamping drive channel 12, the roller clamping module 2 and the elastic drive module 3.
[0041] The unpowered single-side clamping manipulator for multi-station drawing dies proposed in this utility model is driven by the manipulator arm to approach the finished product during the clamping process. Figure 7 As shown, the product gradually enters the clamping groove 11, which drives the roller 23 to rotate. At the same time, the roller fixing rod 21 is squeezed and retracted into the clamping drive channel 12, driving the wedge-shaped slider 34 to move into the movable groove 33. At this time, the No. 1 return spring 36 and the No. 2 return spring 38 are squeezed and deformed at the same time, so that the roller fixing rod 21 has the force to move into the clamping groove 11 until the product completely enters the clamping groove 11. At this time, the No. 1 return spring 36 and the No. 2 return spring 38 will be reset to the original position and can provide a certain clamping force while preventing the product from being squeezed and popping out of the clamping groove 11, and limiting the product in the clamping groove 11. The non-powered single-sided clamping manipulator of the multi-station drawing die designed by this technical solution is simple to manufacture and produce, does not require a power source such as a cylinder to achieve single-sided clamping of the product, and will not generate friction on the product during the clamping process.
[0042] The above-mentioned nylon bracket 1 is provided with a clamping groove 11. The nylon bracket 1 is made of nylon and is installed on the robotic arm through threads or the like. The nylon material has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and friction resistance, has a long service life and will not cause surface defects on the surface of the product, especially aluminum products. The clamping groove 11 is set away from the clamping drive channel 12 side according to the shape of the part. If a cylindrical part is clamped, it can be in the shape of a semi-waist hole. The other side of the clamping groove 11 extends outward based on the side wall of the semi-waist hole close to the clamping drive channel 12.

A placement groove 22 is provided in the middle of the other side of the roller fixing rod 21, and a roller 23 is provided with a clearance fit in the placement groove 22. A rivet shaft 24 is passed through the middle of the roller 23, and the top and bottom of the rivet shaft 24 extend straight and are clamped on the upper and lower sides of the roller fixing rod 21. A wedge-shaped groove 25 is provided in the middle of the top of the fixing rod 21. The wedge-shaped groove 25 is inclined in a V-shaped groove bottom. A spring groove 26 is provided in the middle of the side of the roller fixing rod 21 away from the clamping groove 11. The roller 23 can be made of nylon or metal. The roller 23 can rotate freely around the rivet shaft to reduce the sliding friction between the manipulator and the product during clamping, prevent wear on the product surface, and protect the appearance of the product. The wedge-shaped groove 25 cooperates with the wedge-shaped slider in the elastic drive module 3 to limit the maximum extension length of the front end of the fixing rod, thereby preventing the roller fixing rod 21 from extending too long from the clamping drive channel 12 and falling off.
[0045] One side of the elastic drive module 3 is arranged in the clamping drive channel 12 away from the clamping groove 11, and the other side of the elastic drive module 3 is arranged at the top and bottom of the nylon bracket 1 to enter the clamping drive channel 12 and hold the roller clamping module 2. The elastic drive module 3 includes: a limit groove 31, a No. 1 cover plate 32, a No. 1 return spring 36, a wedge-shaped slider 34, a No. 2 cover plate 37 and a No. 2 return spring 38, wherein the limit groove 31 is opened at the top of one side of the nylon bracket 1, the bottom of the limit groove 31 is communicated with the clamping drive channel 12, the top of the limit groove 31 is covered with a No. 1 cover plate 32, the No. 1 cover plate 32 is connected to the nylon bracket 1 by bolts, and the No. A movable groove 33 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the cover plate 32, and a wedge-shaped slider 34 is fitted into the limit groove 31 through a gap.
