Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dividers, in particular to a lifting and swinging flange type divider. Background Art

[0002] The lifting and swinging flange type indexer is a type of cam indexer with lifting and swinging functions. The output is a flange design, and the power source drives the cam or shifts the indexing output shaft to complete the lifting and indexing actions. The lifting and indexing actions are performed simultaneously, requiring high-precision processing equipment to ensure indexing accuracy.

[0003] Although the existing lifting and swinging flange type divider can accurately transport materials, since some materials are heavy, the divider shaft needs to rotate to transport the materials, and the rotation will generate centrifugal force. The heavier the mass of the material, the greater the centrifugal force generated. As a result, the shaft on the divider will be subjected to a large pulling force during the process of rotating the divider shaft to transport the materials, and the shaft will easily deform over time.

[0004] Therefore, we designed a lifting and swinging flange type divider to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lifting and swinging flange type divider to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a lifting and swinging flange type divider, which includes a divider body, a shaft body movably inserted on the top of the divider body, and a mechanical arm fixedly installed on the top of the shaft body. The mechanical arm is used to clamp the material and cooperate with the shaft body to perform lifting and swinging transportation, including:

[0007] A first annular groove is provided on the top of the divider body;

[0008] A fixed block is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the robotic arm, and a sliding rod is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed block;

[0009] The limiting rod is movably sleeved on the bottom end of the sliding rod, and the bottom end of the limiting rod is located in the first annular groove;

[0010] The ball is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the limiting rod and is rollingly connected in the first annular groove.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two fixing blocks, and the two fixing blocks are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom of the robotic arm.

[0012] Furthermore, a placement groove is provided at the bottom of the limiting rod, and the ball is rotatably connected in the placement groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the top of the limiting rod, and the bottom end of the sliding rod is slidably inserted in the sliding groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a buffer spring and a damping cylinder are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the limiting rod, the other ends of the buffer spring and the damping cylinder are fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the slide groove, and the buffer spring is movably sleeved on the damping cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, a second annular groove is formed on the inner side wall of the first annular groove, a connecting piece is slidably inserted into the second annular groove, and the other end of the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the shaft body.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that during the rotation of the shaft, the material will pull the robotic arm due to the centrifugal force generated. At this time, the robotic arm transfers the force to the shaft, so that the shaft drives the fixed block, the sliding rod and the limiting rod to slide in the first annular groove. The limiting rod will not only be limited in the first annular groove, but also share the pulling force generated on the shaft, thereby helping to avoid the problem of the shaft being deformed due to being unable to withstand the large pulling force.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the shaft body not only rotates, but also can be lifted and lowered. At this time, the shaft body will drive the fixed block and the slide rod to lift and lower in the slide groove. At the same time, during the lifting process, it can cooperate with the stretching and compression buffer spring, and make the damping cylinder slow down the lifting speed of the slide rod, thereby helping to reduce the vertical pulling force of the shaft body, and further avoid the problem of deformation of the shaft body.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a lifting and swinging flange type divider, comprising a divider body 1, a shaft body 2 movably inserted on the top of the divider body 1 and a mechanical arm 3 fixedly mounted on the top of the shaft body 2, the mechanical arm 3 is used to clamp the material and cooperate with the shaft body 2 to perform lifting and swinging transportation, including,

[0025] The first annular groove 4 is provided on the top of the divider body 1;

[0026] The fixed block 5 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the robot arm 3, and a slide bar 6 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed block 5;

[0027] The limiting rod 7 is movably sleeved on the bottom end of the sliding rod 6, and its bottom end is located in the first annular groove 4;

[0028] The ball 8 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the limiting rod 7 and is rollingly connected in the first annular groove 4 .

[0029] During specific implementation, during the rotation of the shaft body 2, the material will pull the robotic arm 3 due to the centrifugal force generated. At this time, the robotic arm 3 transmits the force to the shaft body 2, so that the shaft body 2 drives the fixed block 5, the sliding rod 6 and the limiting rod 7 to slide in the first annular groove 4. The limiting rod 7 will not only be limited in the first annular groove 4, but also share the pulling force generated on the shaft body 2 for the shaft body 2, thereby helping to avoid the problem of the shaft body 2 being deformed due to being unable to withstand the large pulling force.

[0030] See Figure 1-4 As shown, there are two fixing blocks 5, which are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the robot arm 3. The arrangement of two fixing blocks 5 indicates that there are two limit rods 7 and two balls 8, which can ensure the balance of the two sides of the shaft body 2, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven force on the two sides of the shaft body 2.

[0031] See Figure 1-4 A placement groove 9 is provided at the bottom of the limit rod 7, and the ball 8 is rotatably connected in the placement groove 9, which facilitates the multi-degree-of-freedom rotation of the ball 8 at the bottom of the limit rod 7 to avoid the problem of motion interference.

[0032] See Figure 1-4A slide groove 10 is provided at the top of the limit rod 7, and the bottom end of the slide rod 6 is slidably inserted in the slide groove 10. A buffer spring 11 and a damping cylinder 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the limit rod 7. The other ends of the buffer spring 11 and the damping cylinder 12 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the slide groove 10, and the buffer spring 11 is movably sleeved on the damping cylinder 12.

[0033] During specific implementation, based on the above implementation, the shaft body 2 will not only rotate, but also be able to rise and fall. At this time, the shaft body 2 will drive the fixed block 5 and the slide rod 6 to rise and fall in the slide groove 10. At the same time, during the lifting process, the stretching and compression buffer spring 11 can be coordinated, and the damping cylinder 12 can slow down the lifting speed of the slide rod 6, thereby helping to reduce the vertical tension of the shaft body 2, and further avoiding the problem of deformation of the shaft body 2.

[0034] See Figure 1-4 A second annular groove 13 is formed on the inner sidewall of the first annular groove 4. A connector 14 is slidably inserted into the second annular groove 13. The other end of the connector 14 is fixedly connected to the shaft body 2. Since the mechanical arm 3 drives the slide bar 6 to generate an upward pulling force on the limit rod 7 when the shaft body 2 is raised or lowered, the connector 14 can be used to limit the limit rod 7 in the second annular groove 13 to prevent the ball 8 from separating from the inner bottom wall of the first annular groove 4. Therefore, the limit rod 7 can only rotate within the first annular groove 4 and cannot be raised or lowered.

[0035] In addition, the divider body 1 usually also includes a flange design output. The flange design enables it to be matched with a larger diameter disc, with strong adaptability and a separate lifting type design. This series can be designed as a separate lifting type, so that the shaft body 2 can move up and down independently, and the flange performs intermittent segmentation to achieve complex movements and power sources. The power source drives the cam to drive or toggle the indexing output shaft to complete the lifting and indexing movements, and the lifting and indexing movements are carried out synchronously. In addition, the shaft body 2 can be set as a hollow output shaft, and the middle output shaft can be designed to be hollow, which is convenient for matching with the gas and oil pressure rotary joint and easy to control the clamping of the fixture. Since the divider body 1 is a prior art, it will not be described in detail in this description.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, first connect the electrical appliances inside and outside the divider body 1 to the external power supply, and then when the divider body 1 is turned on and off, the shaft body 2 can be rotated while the lifting and lowering control mechanical arm 3 is used to clamp the material and transfer it to the specified position. However, during the rotation of the shaft body 2, the material will pull the mechanical arm 3 due to the centrifugal force generated. At this time, the mechanical arm 3 transmits the force to the shaft body 2, so that the shaft body 2 drives the fixed block 5, the sliding rod 6 and the limiting rod 7 to slide in the first annular groove 4. The limiting rod 7 will not only be limited in the first annular groove 4, but also share the pulling force on the shaft body 2, thereby helping to avoid the problem of the shaft body 2 being deformed due to being unable to withstand the large pulling force.

[0037] In addition, the shaft body 2 not only rotates, but also can be raised and lowered. At this time, the shaft body 2 will drive the fixed block 5 and the slide rod 6 to rise and fall in the slide groove 10. At the same time, during the lifting process, it can cooperate with the stretching and compression buffer spring 11, and make the damping cylinder 12 slow down the lifting speed of the slide rod 6, thereby helping to reduce the vertical pulling force of the shaft body 2, and further avoid the problem of deformation of the shaft body 2.
