[0033] In an embodiment of the utility model, the upper portion of the assembly plate 1 is provided with a limiting plate 6, the limiting plate 6 is connected with the end of the robot, the top surface of the assembly plate 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting seats 7, specifically, four mounting seats 7 are arranged, and the four mounting seats 7 are clamped and arranged on the circumferential outer side of the limiting plate 6, and the limiting plate 6 is limited above the assembly plate 1 through the mounting seat 7. It should be noted that the limiting plate 6 is not connected with the assembly plate 1, so that the limiting plate 6 has a certain movement space on the inner side of the four mounting seats 7, that is, the assembly plate 1 can have a certain front and back and left and right floating space relative to the limiting plate 6, so that the pressure disc can be smoothly separated from the old rubber bucket, and the phenomenon of being stuck does not occur. Moreover, in the process that the pressure disc enters the new rubber bucket later, the position of the new rubber bucket is adjusted, and the pressure disc is further ensured to smoothly enter the new rubber bucket, so that the rubber bucket is replaced smoothly.

[0036] Preferably, the top end of the piston rod is in the shape of a cone, and the tip of the cone faces the limiting plate 6, the piston rod in the shape of a cone is more easily inserted into the limiting hole 20, avoiding the damage of the whole device caused by the piston rod failing to enter the limiting hole 20 during the elongation process.

[0038] It should be noted that when the piston rod is in the retracted state, the bottom surface of the limiting plate 6 abuts against the four second limiting steel balls 12 under the action of gravity, and the top surface of the limiting plate 6 does not contact the four first limiting steel balls 11 or the top surface of the limiting plate 6 does not simultaneously release the four first limiting steel balls 11, so as to ensure that assembly plate 1 has a certain floating space in front and back and left and right relative to the limiting plate 6, so that the pressure plate can enter or leave the glue bucket more quickly.
[0039] When the piston rod is in the elongated state, the bottom surface of the limiting plate 6 abuts against the four second limiting steel balls 12 under the jacking force of the piston rod, and the top surface of the limiting plate 6 abuts against the four first limiting steel balls 11, so that the assembly plate 1 cannot float up and down relative to the limiting plate 6 in the vertical plane while ensuring that the assembly plate 1 cannot shift in the horizontal plane relative to the limiting plate 6, thereby ensuring that the rubber bucket is always in a stable state when the robot drives the overall device to carry the rubber bucket. Moreover, each second limiting steel ball 12 is located directly below a first limiting steel ball 11, which can ensure that the first limiting steel ball 11 and the second limiting steel ball 12 jointly act on the limiting plate 6, thereby further enhancing the stability of the assembly plate 1 relative to the limiting plate 6.
[0040] Preferably, a plurality of groups of pad plates 13 are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the limiting plate 6, the side surface of each group of pad plates 13 abuts against the first limiting steel ball 11 and the second limiting steel ball 12 respectively, and each group of pad plates 13 is fixed on the upper and lower side surfaces of the limiting plate 6 by means of a countersunk screw.

[0041] In an embodiment of the utility model, the top surface of the assembly plate 1 is symmetrically provided with two baffle plates 14, and the two baffle plates 14 are arranged on the two sides of the limiting plate 6. The baffle plates 14 limit the left and right floating space of the limiting plate 6, thereby preventing the limiting plate 6 from being separated from above the assembly plate 1. In addition, the side surface of the baffle plate 14 is provided with a first bolt rod 15, the first bolt rod 15 is threadedly connected with the baffle plate 14, and the first bolt rod 15 is perpendicular to the side surface of the limiting plate 6. The first bolt rod 15 limits the movement range of the limiting plate 6 along the axis direction of the first bolt rod 15, and the length of the first bolt rod 15 extending out of the inner side of the baffle plate 14 can be adjusted to accurately adjust the left and right floating space of the assembly plate 1 relative to the limiting plate 6.
[0042] Meanwhile, the side surface of the mounting seat 7 is provided with a second bolt rod 16, the second bolt rod 16 is threadedly connected with the mounting seat 7, and the second bolt rod 16 is perpendicular to the side surface of the limiting plate 6. The first bolt rod 15 limits the movement range of the limiting plate 6 along the axis direction of the second bolt rod 16, that is, the length of the second bolt rod 16 extending out of the inner side of the mounting seat 7 can be adjusted to accurately adjust the front and back floating space of the assembly plate 1 relative to the limiting plate 6.
[0043] In an embodiment of the utility model, the inner side surface of the clamping jaw 4 is arc-shaped, and a plurality of anti-skid pads 17 are arranged on the inner side surface of the clamping jaw 4. Specifically, the anti-skid pads 17 are column-shaped and are arranged at equal intervals on the inner side surface of the clamping jaw 4. The anti-skid pads 17 can enhance the friction between the rubber bucket and the clamping jaw 4, thereby ensuring that the clamping jaw 4 stably clamps the rubber bucket.
[0044] Preferably, the anti-skid pad 17 is made of rubber material, which has certain elastic deformation capacity, so as to avoid damage to the structure of the rubber bucket due to excessive force of the clamping jaw 4, and the rubber material can provide greater friction to increase the clamping effect on the rubber bucket.
[0045] Further, the third limiting bolt 18 is arranged on the inner side of the two clamping jaws 4, and the minimum distance between the two clamping jaws 4 is limited by the two third limiting bolts 18, so as to prevent the two clamping jaws 4 from continuously approaching each other after holding the rubber bucket tightly, thereby avoiding that the clamping force of the clamping jaw 4 on the rubber bucket is too large to cause the barrel wall of the rubber bucket to be damaged and affect the entry of the pressure plate, and further playing a role in protecting the rubber bucket.
[0046] In use, the robot drives the overall device to move near the old rubber bucket, the clamping jaw cylinder 3 drives the clamping jaw 4 to hold the old rubber bucket tightly, the pressure plate is taken out from the old rubber bucket, the robot drives the overall device to move the old rubber bucket away from the working area, the clamping jaw cylinder 3 drives the clamping jaw 4 to hold the new rubber bucket tightly, the robot drives the overall device to carry the new rubber bucket to the working area, and the pressure plate is lowered into the new rubber bucket to complete the replacement of the rubber bucket.
[0047] In summary, the clamping jaw cylinder 3 cooperates with the robot to replace manual carrying, thereby saving a lot of manpower and resources and improving the replacement efficiency of the rubber bucket. Meanwhile, the position of the new rubber bucket is detected by the industrial camera 5, so as to ensure the position accuracy after the replacement of the rubber bucket, the pressure plate normally rises and falls in the new rubber bucket in the later period, and the production efficiency is further improved.
