[0002] With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, many industries will adopt machine processing to replace manual labor, thereby reducing labor costs. For example, when stacked objects need to be palletized when transporting them, palletizers will be used for intelligent palletizing.

[0003] Palletizing robots are the product of the organic combination of machinery and computer programs, which provide higher production efficiency for modern production. Palletizing machines are widely used in the palletizing industry. When using palletizing robots, mechanical grippers are required to grab objects.

[0004] The existing palletizing robot palletizer grippers mostly adopt an integrated gripper structure (that is, the gripper and the robot arm are integrated). During use, once the gripper part fails, the entire gripper and the robot arm need to be disassembled and maintained for maintenance, which is very troublesome and delays normal work.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new packaging robot palletizer gripper to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a packaging robot palletizer gripper, which solves the problem that the existing palletizer grippers mostly adopt an integrated gripper structure. Once the gripper part fails, the entire gripper and robot arm need to be disassembled and maintained for maintenance, which is very troublesome.

[0008] Two groups of slide grooves are spaced apart on one side of the workbench, two movable seats are slidably arranged between the two slide grooves, and clamping plates are installed on the two movable seats.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a silicone protective pad is provided on opposite sides of the two splints.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a bidirectional screw rod is movably provided inside the two slide grooves through bearings, both ends of the bidirectional screw rod respectively pass through the two moving seats, and the bidirectional screw rod is threadedly connected to the moving seat.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the two bidirectional screws extends out of the workbench and is installed with a worm gear. A plurality of limit seats are arranged at intervals on one side of the workbench. Two worms are movably arranged between the plurality of limit seats. The ends of the two worms that are close to each other are fixedly connected.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a ground rail 1, a robot arm 2 is slidably arranged on the ground rail 1, a first connecting plate 3 is fixed to the top of the robot arm 2, a workbench 4 is arranged on one side of the robot arm 2, and a second connecting plate 5 is fixed to one side of the workbench 4 through a connecting column 7. A plurality of through holes 6 are opened through the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 5, and the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 5 are connected by a plurality of high-strength bolts. When it is necessary to repair the parts on the workbench 4 or replace the clamping plates 10 of different shapes, the staff only needs to remove the bolts between the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 5 to separate the robot arm 2 from the workbench 4. The operation is simple and quick, saving working time. Finally, the spare workbench 4 or the workbench 4 equipped with clamping plates 10 of other shapes can be connected to the top of the robot arm 2.

[0026] Two sets of slide grooves 8 are spaced apart on one side of the workbench 4, and two movable seats 9 are slidingly arranged between the two slide grooves 8. A splint 10 is installed on the two movable seats 9, and a silicone protective pad 11 is provided on the opposite side of the two splints 10.

Both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 12 pass through the two moving seats 9 respectively, and the bidirectional screw rod 12 is threadedly connected to the moving seat 9. One end of the two bidirectional screw rods 12 extends out of the workbench 4 and is installed with a worm gear 13. A plurality of limit seats 14 are arranged at intervals on one side of the workbench 4. Two worms 15 are movably provided between the plurality of limit seats 14. The close ends of the two worms 15 are fixedly connected, and the two worms 15 are respectively engaged with the two worm gears 13. A mounting seat 16 is fixed on one side of the workbench 4. A rotating shaft 17 is movably provided on the mounting seat 16 through a bearing. A motor 18 is installed at the center of one side of the workbench 4. One end of the rotating shaft 17 is connected to the output end of the motor 18 through a coupling. Starting the motor 18 can drive the rotating shaft 17 to rotate.

[0028] A first bevel gear 19 is installed at the other end of the rotating shaft 17, and one end of the worm 15 extends out of the limit seat 14 and is installed with a second bevel gear 20. The first bevel gear 19 is meshed with the second bevel gear 20. When the present palletizing robot is in use, the workbench 4 is moved to the top of the product to be palletized by the robot arm 2, and then the motor 18 is started to drive the rotating shaft 17 to rotate. Under the transmission action of the first bevel gear 19 and the second bevel gear 20, the two worms 15 rotate at the same time, driving the worm gear 13 to rotate accordingly. Under the action of the worm gear 13, the two bidirectional lead screws 12 rotate in the same direction at the same time, driving the two splints 10 to approach each other along the slide groove 8 and finally fix the product. Then the product is transferred to the position to be palletized by the robot arm 2.

[0029] The worm wheel 13 and the worm 15 as well as the first bevel gear 19 and the second bevel gear 20 all adopt closed transmission to reduce friction and wear and increase their service life.

[0030] Working principle of the utility model: When the palletizing robot is in use, the workbench 4 is moved to the top of the product to be palletized by the robot arm 2, and then the motor 18 is started to drive the rotating shaft 17 to rotate. Under the transmission action of the first bevel gear 19 and the second bevel gear 20, the two worms 15 rotate simultaneously, driving the worm wheel 13 to rotate accordingly;

[0031] Under the action of the worm gear 13, the two bidirectional screws 12 rotate simultaneously in the same direction, driving the two clamping plates 10 to approach each other along the slide 8 and finally fix the product. Then the robot arm 2 transfers the product to the stacking position.

[0032] When it is necessary to repair parts on the workbench 4 or replace clamps 10 of different shapes, the staff only needs to remove several bolts between the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 5 to separate the robot arm 2 from the workbench 4. The operation is simple and quick, saving working time. Finally, the spare workbench 4 or the workbench 4 equipped with clamps 10 of other shapes can be connected to the top of the robot arm 2.
