By referring to these contents, ordinary technicians in this field should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.
[0023] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a grabbing fixture for a welding robot is provided.
[0024] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a gripping fixture for a welding robot includes a fixture base 1. A centering cylinder 2, a conductive brush 3, and a clamping jaw 4 are provided on both sides of the fixture base 1. The conductive brush 3 is located between the two sets of centering cylinders 2. The clamping jaw 4 is connected to the centering cylinder 2. The centering cylinder 2 is provided with a driving block 21. The clamping jaw 4 is provided with a clamping arm 41, a clamping block 42, and an insulating pad 43. The clamping arm 41 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the centering cylinder 2. The bottom of the clamping arm 41 is connected to the driving block 21 by a bolt. The centering cylinder 2 drives the driving block 21. The side end of the clamping arm 41 is connected to the clamping block 42 by a bolt passing through the clamping arm 41 and the insulating pad 43. The inner side of the clamping block 42 is provided with a V-shaped groove 421. The end surface of the bolt and the clamping arm 41 is padded with a boss insulating pad 44. The driving block 21 drives the clamping arm 41, thereby realizing the loosening and closing of the clamping block 42.
[0025] In one embodiment, a plurality of mounting holes or positioning holes are provided on the surface of the clamp base 1 , thereby facilitating the installation of the centering cylinder 2 , the conductive brush 3 and the clamping jaw 4 on the clamp base 1 .
[0026] In one embodiment, the centering cylinder 2 has a slot 22 at its upper end for the driving block 21 to slide, and a connection hole at its bottom. The driving block 21 slides back and forth in the slot 22 to open or close the clamping arm 41.
[0027] In one embodiment, two sets of conductive brushes 3 are provided. Mounting plates 31 are provided at the side ends of the brushes 3, which are vertically connected to the bottom of the fixture base 1 via the mounting plates 31. Buffer springs 32 are also provided inside the brushes 3. The brushes 3 are cushioned against the workpiece surface by the buffer springs 32. During the conduction of current, the brushes 3, due to their excellent conductivity and appropriate contact structure, can prevent local burns on the fixture and workpiece surfaces caused by arcing and other factors.
[0028] In one embodiment, the clamping arms 41 are L-shaped members, and two groups of clamping arms 41 are arranged to open and close, so that the clamping is more stable.
[0029] In one embodiment, a heat dissipation groove 422 is provided in the middle of the V-shaped groove 421, and the heat dissipation groove 422 extends to the bottom of the clamping block 42. The V-shaped groove 421 can accommodate plates of different thicknesses and plates with poor parallelism, solving the problem of difficult clamping caused by non-parallel upper and lower surfaces.
[0030] Working principle: The centering cylinder 2 controls the driving block 21 to slide back and forth in the slide groove 22, thereby driving the clamping arm 41 to be loosened or closed. The bolt passes through the clamping arm 41, the insulating pad 43 and the clamping block 42 to connect, so that the clamping block 42 and the clamping arm 41 are loosened and closed in unison. A V-groove 421 is provided on the inner side of the clamping block 42, and a heat dissipation groove 422 is provided in the middle of the V-groove 421. The end faces of the bolt and the clamping arm 41 are paved with a boss insulating pad 44. The V-groove 421 is compatible with plates of different thicknesses and plate parallelism differences, has high-precision positioning, and improves the insulation isolation performance, thereby improving the service life of the clamp and the overall work efficiency.
