Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arm technology, specifically a box-packing robotic arm. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, material packing is done manually, which is inconvenient and requires a significant investment of human resources. To address this issue, robotic arms are being used. A robotic arm is an automated device that mimics certain movements of a human hand and arm to grasp, move products, or operate tools according to a fixed program. It mainly consists of three parts: an actuator, a drive mechanism, and a control system. It can replace heavy human labor to achieve mechanization and automation in production.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202022427132.6 discloses a packing robot, relating to the field of robot technology. It includes a base plate, with columns fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the base plate. Support plates are fixedly connected to the ends of the two columns on the front side and the two columns on the rear side of the upper surface of the base plate, away from the base plate. This invention, by starting a first motor, drives the rotation of a first threaded rod. Since the moving block is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod, the threaded transmission of the first threaded rod can drive the moving block to move back and forth, thus driving the gear to move back and forth within the U-shaped block. This, in turn, drives the moving column, rotating disk, first rotating rod, second rotating rod, third rotating rod, and fixed gripper to move back and forth. The rotation angle between the first, second, and third rotating rods is controlled by the cooperation of the second, third, and fourth motors, making the robot arm more free and flexible, and the grasping more flexible and convenient.
[0004] However, this packing robot still has some shortcomings in actual use. For example, it can only pick up a small number of products at a time, the packing efficiency is average, the packing time is long, and its practicality is poor. In addition, if the clamping force is too large during transportation, the product may be damaged, and if the clamping force is too small, the product may fall off, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a packing robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a packing robot, comprising a robotic arm assembly, wherein a clamping component is fixedly mounted on the front side of the robotic arm assembly;
[0007] The clamping assembly includes a mounting plate, with side plates fixed to both edges of the front side of the mounting plate. Four sliding pillars are fixedly mounted on the front side of the mounting plate. A first clamping plate is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the pillar body of the four sliding pillars. Two second clamping plates are slidably sleeved on the pillar bodies of the four sliding pillars. A threaded rod is rotatably mounted between the inner sides of the two side plates. A sliding plate is threaded to both ends of the threaded rod. Rotating seats are fixedly mounted on the top and bottom of the front and back sides of the two sliding plates. Vertical grooves are opened on both sides of the two second clamping plates. A sleeve shaft is rotatably mounted in each vertical groove. A transmission rod is rotatably sleeved on the top and bottom of the shaft body of the four sleeve shafts. The eight transmission rods correspond one-to-one with the eight rotating seats. The end of the transmission rod away from the second clamping plate is rotatably connected to the rotating seat.
[0008] Preferably, the robotic arm assembly includes a support arm, the front of which has a groove, a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the groove, and a rotating arm is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.
[0009] Preferably, a No. 1 motor is fixedly installed on one side front end of the support arm, and one end of the output shaft of the No. 1 motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the front of the rotating arm, and the threaded rod is a double-ended threaded rod with the threads at both ends arranged in opposite directions.
[0011] Preferably, the two second clamping plates are located in front of and behind the first clamping plate, respectively, and the two second clamping plates are arranged symmetrically.
[0012] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly installed on the front end of the outer side of the side plate on one side, and one end of the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This packing robot controls two secondary clamping plates to move towards the primary clamping plate, thereby clamping the product located between the primary and secondary clamping plates. It can simultaneously clamp multiple products at once, effectively improving the robot's functionality. After clamping, the primary motor is activated, which controls the rotating arm to rotate. The rotation of the rotating arm causes the clamping components to flip, thereby adjusting the clamped product from a vertical position to a horizontal position. This prevents the product from falling between the primary and secondary clamping plates during the packing process, thus enhancing safety. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: including a robotic arm assembly 1, wherein a clamping assembly 2 is fixedly installed on the front side of the robotic arm assembly 1;
[0022] The clamping assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 201. Side plates 202 are fixed to both sides of the front edge of the mounting plate 201. Four sliding pillars 203 are fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting plate 201. A first clamping plate 204 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the pillar of each of the four sliding pillars 203. Two second clamping plates 205 are slidably sleeved on the pillars of the four sliding pillars 203. A threaded rod 207 is rotatably mounted between the inner surfaces of the two side plates 202. Both ends of the threaded rod 207 are threaded. Each of the two slide plates 208 has a rotating seat 209 fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the front and back sides. Each of the two second clamping plates 205 has a vertical groove on both sides, and a sleeve shaft 211 is rotatably installed in each vertical groove. The top and bottom of the shaft of each of the four sleeve shafts 211 are rotatably sleeved with a transmission rod 210. The eight transmission rods 210 correspond one-to-one with the eight rotating seats 209. The end of the transmission rod 210 away from the second clamping plate 205 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 209.
[0023] In this embodiment, the robotic arm assembly 1 includes a support arm 101. The front of the support arm 101 has a groove, in which a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted. A rotating arm 103 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.
[0024] A first motor 102 is fixedly installed on one side front end of the support arm 101. One end of the output shaft of the first motor 102 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. When the first motor 102 is started, the rotating arm 103 is controlled to rotate under the action of the first motor 102. The rotation of the rotating arm 103 can drive the clamping assembly 2 to flip, thereby adjusting the clamped product from a vertical state to a flat state. This prevents the product from falling between the first clamping plate 204 and the second clamping plate 205 during the packing process of the robot arm, thus improving safety.
[0025] The mounting plate 201 is fixedly mounted on the front of the rotating arm 103. The threaded rod 207 is a double-ended screw with opposite thread directions at both ends. The two second clamping plates 205 are located in front of and behind the first clamping plate 204, respectively, and are symmetrically arranged. A second motor 206 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the outer side of the side plate 202 on one side. One end of the output shaft of the second motor 206 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 207. When the second motor 206 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 207 to rotate. When the threaded rod 207 rotates, it drives the two sliding plates 208 to move away from each other. When the two sliding plates 208 move away from each other, it pulls one end of the transmission rod 210 to move. When one end of the transmission rod 210 moves, it pulls the two second clamping plates 205 to move towards the first clamping plate 204, thereby clamping the product located between the first clamping plate 204 and the second clamping plates 205.
[0026] In use, the clamping assembly 2 is lowered by an external drive device, so that it fits over the product to be clamped, even if the product is between clamping plate 204 and clamping plate 205. Then, motor 206 is started. The rotation of motor 206 drives threaded rod 207 to rotate. The rotation of threaded rod 207 drives two sliding plates 208 to move away from each other. The movement of the two sliding plates 208 will pull one end of transmission rod 210 to move. The movement of one end of transmission rod 210 will pull the two clamping plates 205. 5. Move towards clamping plate 204 to clamp the product between clamping plate 204 and clamping plate 205. After clamping, start motor 102. Under the action of motor 102, control the rotating arm 103 to rotate. The rotation of rotating arm 103 can drive the clamping component 2 to flip, thereby adjusting the clamped product from a vertical position to a flat position. This prevents the product from falling between clamping plate 204 and clamping plate 205 during the packing process of the robot arm, thus improving safety.
[0027] Meanwhile, the robotic arm can also be adapted to packing operations of products of more sizes. By simply controlling the two slide plates 208 to move closer to each other, the two second clamping plates 205 can be controlled to move further apart, thereby increasing the distance between the two second clamping plates 205 and the corresponding first clamping plate 204, making it easier for products of different specifications to enter the clamping assembly 2.
[0028] In summary, this packing robot controls two secondary clamping plates 205 to move towards the primary clamping plate 204, thereby clamping the product located between the primary clamping plate 204 and the secondary clamping plate 205. It can simultaneously clamp multiple products at once, effectively improving the functionality of the robot. After clamping, the primary motor 102 is activated, which controls the rotating arm 103 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating arm 103 causes the clamping assembly 2 to flip, thereby adjusting the clamped product from a vertical position to a horizontal position. This prevents the product from falling between the primary clamping plate 204 and the secondary clamping plate 205 during the packing process, thus enhancing safety.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
