[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] AsFigures 1 to 4 As shown, a workpiece flexible taking device, comprising: a fixed base 2, a UR robot 3, a trolley 4, the fixed base 2 is provided with a containing area 21 in the middle; the UR robot 3 is fixed on the fixed base 2, and the UR robot 3 is provided with a flexible manipulator 31; the trolley 4 is provided with moving wheels 41 at the bottom, the trolley 4 can move into or out of the containing area 21, and the trolley 4 is detachably provided with a tooling plate 42, and the tooling plate 42 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 421 for inserting workpieces.

[0027] When the workpiece taking operation is needed, first, the trolley 4 provided with the tooling plate 42 and the workpieces inserted in the tooling plate 42 is moved into the containing area 21 of the fixed base 2 through the moving wheels 41 at the bottom, so that it is in the working range of the UR robot, then the UR robot is started, and the UR robot is accurately positioned to the position of the specific workpiece on the tooling plate 42 by using its own motion control function and the flexible manipulator 31, the flexible manipulator 31 can be self-adapted according to the shape, size and placement attitude of the workpiece, and the workpiece is grasped by the appropriate force and grasping mode, and then the workpiece is carried to the subsequent machining station, and the taking task is completed.

[0028] The taking operation is automatically completed by the UR robot, which reduces the manual intervention, improves the accuracy and efficiency of taking, reduces the error and labor intensity caused by manual operation, and can stably operate in a relatively complex production environment to ensure the continuity of production, avoid the large number of missing workers, and ensure the operation of the production line. Moreover, the worker only needs to push the trolley 4 into the containing area 21 to work normally, and anyone can immediately take up the post.

[0029] Specifically, the trolley 4 is fixed with a handle 43.

[0030] The operator can hold the handle 43 to apply force and adjust the direction more accurately, so that the trolley 4 can accurately enter or exit the containing area 21 of the fixed base 2 during movement.

[0031] Specifically, the trolley 4 is provided with a sink 44 at the upper part, and the tooling plate 42 is at least partially arranged in the sink 44.

[0032] The sink 44 provides a clear placement position for the tooling plate 42, and the tooling plate 42 can be embedded in the sink 44, and the edge of the tooling plate 42 is in contact with the wall surface of the sink 44, so as to accurately position the tooling plate 42 in the horizontal direction, effectively preventing the tooling plate 42 from moving horizontally on the trolley 4, and the tooling plate 42 can be replaced according to the shape of different parts.

[0033] Specifically, the tooling plate 42 is provided with at least one plate taking hole 422.

[0034] The design can make the worker insert the tool into the plate hole 422, and then conveniently take out and replace the tool plate 42 from the groove.

[0035] Specifically, the trolley 4 is provided with two fixed rods 45, the fixed rods 45 are rotationally provided with a plurality of guide wheels 451, the fixed base 2 is fixedly provided with two guide rails 22, the two guide rails 22 are respectively arranged on the corresponding two sides of the accommodating area 21, and the guide rail 22 is provided with a guide surface 221 on the side close to the entrance 211 of the accommodating area 21, and the guide wheel 451 can be in contact with the guide rail 22 to enable the trolley 4 to enter the predetermined position of the accommodating area 21.

[0036] The cooperation of the guide wheel 451 and the guide rail 22 provides a reliable path guide for the trolley 4 to enter the accommodating area 21, when the trolley 4 approaches the accommodating area 21, the guide wheel 451 rolls along the guide rail 22, and since the guide rail 22 is fixed in position and has a regular shape, the movement freedom of the trolley 4 in the horizontal direction can be effectively limited, so that the trolley 4 can only enter the accommodating area 21 along the predetermined straight trajectory.

[0037] Specifically, the fixed rod 45 is located close to the moving wheel 41.

[0038] The fixed rod 45 is arranged at a lower position, so that it is easier to calibrate the position of the trolley 4 during the movement of the trolley 4 pushed by the staff.

[0039] Specifically, the fixed base 2 is fixedly provided with a bumper plate 23, the bumper plate 23 is arranged in the accommodating area 21 and located between the two guide rails 22.

[0040] When the trolley 4 is pushed into the accommodating area 21, the trolley 4 stops after colliding with the bumper plate 23, and the trolley 4 can be better limited.

[0041] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, and the like, are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition and the like between the components in a certain specific posture, as shown in the drawings, and if the specific posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly.
