Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palletizing robot technology, and in particular to a palletizing robot with dustproof function. Background Art
[0002] Palletizing robots can neatly and automatically stack (or unstack) packaged goods of different shapes and sizes onto pallets (or production lines, etc.). To fully utilize the pallet area and ensure the stability of stacked materials, the robot is equipped with a material stacking sequence and arrangement setter, capable of handling tasks ranging from low to high speeds, from bags to cartons, and from stacking one product to stacking multiple different products. It is widely used in product handling and palletizing in various fields such as automotive, logistics, home appliances, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage.
[0003] Palletizing robots commonly grip goods using mechanical grippers and vacuum suction. In existing vacuum suction methods, multiple air vents are located below the palletizing robot. When the palletizing robot is not in use, dust passing through these air vents can easily damage the internal structure of the vacuum pump, causing friction and wear, or even jamming, thus affecting the vacuum level. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problem mentioned in the background section that dust passing through the pores can easily damage the internal structure of the vacuum pump, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A dustproof palletizing robot includes a robot mounted on the upper part of a rotating base;
[0006] The robotic arm includes a suction plate, and the suction plate has multiple air holes in the middle.
[0007] The lower end of the suction plate is equipped with two dustproof components for opening and closing the air vents.
[0008] A motor for controlling the rotation of the dustproof component is installed on the side of the suction plate, and a pressure rod for locking the dustproof component is installed on the upper end of the suction plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a bottom support plate for supporting the rotating base is installed at the lower end of the rotating base, and a first cylinder for adjusting the angle of the suction plate is installed at the upper end of the rotating base. A first connecting member for limiting the first cylinder is installed at one end of the first cylinder, and a second cylinder for controlling the rotation of the first connecting member is installed at one end of the first connecting member.
[0010] Furthermore, a connecting part is installed at the upper end of the suction plate, and a second connecting member is installed at the upper end of the connecting part.
[0011] Furthermore, a limiting seat for limiting the motor is installed on the side of the suction plate, and a rotating shaft is installed at the output end of the motor.
[0012] Furthermore, an installation plate for limiting the pressure rod is installed at the upper end of the suction plate, and a control box is installed at one end of the installation plate.
[0013] Furthermore, a disc is mounted on one end of the pressure rod, a piston is mounted on the outside of the disc, and the disc divides the inner cavity of the control box into a power chamber and an air chamber.
[0014] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the control box is equipped with a retaining ring for limiting the position of the disc, and the retaining ring is located inside the air chamber. The power chamber is equipped with a spring for controlling the disc to reset, and the side of the air chamber is machined with a through hole.
[0015] Furthermore, the dustproof assembly includes a dustproof plate, a connecting block is installed at one end of the dustproof plate, a locking block is installed at one end of the connecting block, a locking groove is machined at one end of the locking block for engaging with the pressure rod, and a limiting block is installed at the upper end of the dustproof plate for cooperating with the motor to control the dustproof plate to flip.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] When the pressure rod needs to release the lock on the dustproof component, gas enters the air chamber and pushes the disc, causing the disc to compress the spring. This, in turn, moves the pressure rod into the inner cavity of the control box, moving it away from the dustproof component and releasing its lock. The motor then controls the dustproof component to flip, continuing to seal the air vents. Before the suction plate starts working, the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the limit block simultaneously drives the connecting block to flip, causing the dustproof plate to flip upwards. The locking block simultaneously moves closer to the pressure rod, pushing it towards the control box. When the locking block moves from the upper end to the lower end of the mounting plate, the spring pushes the disc, placing the pressure rod at the upper end of the locking block and sliding it into the slot of the locking groove to limit the dustproof plate, ensuring the suction plate remains stable during operation.

[0030] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, and a clear and complete explanation is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a dustproof palletizing robot, including a robot 01 mounted on the upper end of a rotating base 10. The lower end of the rotating base 10 is equipped with a bottom support plate 11 for supporting the rotating base 10. The upper end of the rotating base 10 is equipped with a first cylinder 12 for adjusting the angle of the suction plate 100. One end of the first cylinder 12 is equipped with a first connecting member 13 for limiting the first cylinder 12. One end of the first connecting member 13 is equipped with a second cylinder 14 for controlling the rotation of the first connecting member 13.
[0032] The first connecting member 13 is movably mounted on the central longitudinal support frame of the rotating base 10. A transverse support frame is located in the middle of the first connecting member 13. Activation of the second cylinder 14 causes the first connecting member 13 to rotate, thereby causing the support frame on the first connecting member 13 to move the robotic arm 01. The central part of the robotic arm 01 is movably mounted on the transverse support frame of the first connecting member 13. Activation of the first cylinder 12 allows adjustment of the gripping angle of the robotic arm 01.
[0033] The robotic arm 01 includes a suction plate 100, with a connecting part 110 mounted on its upper end, and a second connecting member 120 mounted on the upper end of the connecting part 110. Multiple air holes 130 are provided in the middle of the suction plate 100 to facilitate the gripping of goods. Two limiting seats 140 are mounted on the sides of the suction plate 100 to limit the movement of the motor 150, facilitating the limiting of the two dustproof components 02.
[0034] Two dustproof components 02 for opening and closing the air vents 130 are installed at the lower end of the suction plate 100. When the robot arm 01 is not using the device, the dustproof components 02 close the air vents 130 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the air vents 130 and causing damage to the equipment.
[0035] The suction plate 100 is equipped with a motor 150 for controlling the rotation of the dustproof component 02, and the output end of the motor 150 is equipped with a rotating shaft 151.
[0036] The upper end of the suction plate 100 is equipped with a pressure rod 170 for locking the dustproof component 02. This ensures that after the dustproof component 02 is flipped and moved to the upper end of the suction plate 100, it is less likely to fall off during the operation of the suction plate 100, thus preventing it from affecting the gripping of goods. A disc 171 is fixedly installed at one end of the pressure rod 170. A piston 172 is fixedly installed on the outside of the disc 171, and the disc 171 divides the inner cavity of the control box 180 into a power chamber 1 and an air chamber 2.
[0037] Two mounting plates 160 for limiting the pressure rod 170 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the suction plate 100. A control box 180 is installed on one end of the mounting plate 160, and the pressure rod 170 slides in the inner cavity of the control box 180.
[0038] The inner cavity of the control box 180 is equipped with a retaining ring 181 for limiting the position of the disc 171, and the retaining ring 181 is located in the air chamber 2. The power chamber 1 is equipped with a spring 182 for controlling the disc 171 to reset. The spring 182 pushes the disc 171 toward the retaining ring 181. The side of the air chamber 2 is machined with a through hole 183, which facilitates the external air pump to deliver gas into the through hole 183 through the air supply pipe.
[0039] When the pressure rod 170 needs to release the lock on the dustproof component 02, the gas reaches the air chamber 2 and pushes the disc 171, causing the disc 171 to squeeze the spring 182, thereby driving the pressure rod 170 to move into the inner cavity of the control box 180. The pressure rod 170 moves away from the dustproof component 02, releasing the lock on the dustproof component 02. The motor 150 controls the dustproof component 02 to flip over and continue to block the air hole 130.
[0040] The dustproof assembly 02 includes a dustproof plate 200. A connecting block 210 is fixedly installed at one end of the dustproof plate 200, and a locking block 220 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting block 210. A locking groove 221 for engaging with the pressure rod 170 is machined at one end of the locking block 220. A limiting block 230 for cooperating with the motor 150 to control the dustproof plate 200 to rotate is installed at the upper end of the dustproof plate 200. A rotating shaft 151 is fixedly installed in the middle cavity of the limiting block 230, so that when the motor 150 drives the rotating shaft 151 to rotate, the limiting block 230 drives the dustproof plate 200 to rotate synchronously.
[0041] Before the suction plate 100 starts working, the motor 150 drives the rotating shaft 151 to rotate. The limiting block 230 simultaneously drives the connecting block 210 to flip, causing the dustproof plate 200 to flip upward. The locking block 220 simultaneously moves closer to the pressure rod 170, pushing the pressure rod 170 towards the control box 180. When the locking block 220 moves from the upper end of the mounting plate 160 to the lower end of the mounting plate 160, the spring 182 pushes the disc 171, so that the pressure rod 170 is at the upper end of the locking block 220 and slides into the groove of the locking slot 221 to limit the dustproof plate 200, so that the suction plate 100 remains stable during operation.
[0042] Based on the above description and accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can understand and implement this utility model. Furthermore, any non-creative modifications made to this utility model by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
