Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine feeding technology, and in particular to an industrial robot feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] An industrial robot loading device is an automated device mainly used to automatically feed raw materials or semi-finished products into the processing area of ​​a robot or production line for subsequent processing or assembly operations. This device is designed to improve production efficiency, reduce manual operation, and lower production costs. The core component of the industrial robot loading device is the gripping mechanism.

[0003] In existing industrial robot feeding devices, if the distance between the two mechanical grippers of the gripping mechanism is fixed, the robot can only grip materials of specific sizes and shapes. If the size or shape of the material changes, the fixed grippers may not be able to adapt, resulting in failure to grip or damage to the material. When the products on the production line are diversified, the fixed-distance grippers cannot flexibly adapt to different production needs. This means that every time the product or material is changed, the grippers need to be redesigned or replaced, increasing the adjustment time and cost of the production line. To address this, we propose an industrial robot feeding device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention mainly enhances mechanical strength and prevents detachment, making the flexible joint less prone to breakage and leakage under high pressure and rapid start-stop conditions, thus ensuring the normal operation of the conductive rubber flexible joint.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an industrial robot feeding device, comprising: a robot body, a robotic arm mounted on the robot body, an adjustment component at the end of the robotic arm, two sets of gripping mechanisms mounted on the adjustment component, material below the gripping mechanisms, the gripping mechanisms clamping and grasping the material, and the adjustment component adjusting the distance between the two sets of gripping mechanisms.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustment component includes a moving part and a locking part, the moving part driving one of the material gripping mechanisms to move, and the locking part restricting the movement of the moving part.

[0007] Preferably, the moving component includes a first mounting plate mounted on the end of the material gripping mechanism, two sets of slide rails mounted on the outer wall of the bottom end of the first mounting plate, a first slider slidably connected to the slide rails, a second mounting plate mounted on the outer wall of the first slider, and an auxiliary plate mounted on the side wall of the second mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, a set of material gripping mechanisms is installed on the outer wall of the second mounting plate, the second mounting plate slides on the slide rail via two sets of first sliders, and a locking component is provided inside the auxiliary plate.

[0009] Preferably, the engaging component includes a groove formed in the auxiliary plate, a second slider slidably connected to the groove, an engaging rod connected to the second slider and inserted into the auxiliary plate, a spring wound around the outer wall of the engaging rod, an engaging slot formed in the first mounting plate, and a pull rod installed on the outer end of the engaging rod.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the spring is connected to the outer wall of the second slider, and the other end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary plate.

[0011] Preferably, the engaging grooves are provided in several groups along the length of the first mounting plate, and the diameter of the engaging grooves is set to be equal to the diameter of the engaging rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. High adaptability: Because the spacing between the gripping mechanisms is adjustable, the device can adapt to materials of different sizes and shapes. This means that the same feeding device can be used for the production of multiple products without changing the grippers, thus improving the adaptability of the production line.

[0014] 2. Increased flexibility: When changing products or materials on the production line, operators can quickly adjust the spacing of the gripping mechanism without the need for complex redesign and replacement of the grippers, greatly reducing the adjustment time and cost of the production line.

[0015] 3. Increased production efficiency: The adjustable gripping mechanism allows the robot to adapt to production changes more quickly, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency. The robot can continuously handle different types of materials without interrupting production due to changes in size or shape.

[0016] 4. High reliability: The design of the locking components, such as the cooperation between the locking rod and the locking groove, ensures the stability and reliability of the material gripping mechanism after adjustment. The restoring force of the spring enables the locking mechanism to be firmly locked, preventing displacement during operation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an industrial robot feeding device, comprising: a robot body 1, a robotic arm 2 installed on the robot body 1, an adjustment component 5 at the end of the robotic arm 2, two sets of gripping mechanisms 3 installed on the adjustment component 5, material 4 below the gripping mechanism 3, the gripping mechanism 3 clamping and gripping the material 4, and the adjustment component 5 adjusting the distance between the two sets of gripping mechanisms 3.

[0026] The adjusting component 5 includes a moving part and a locking part. The moving part drives one of the gripping mechanisms 3 to move. The locking part restricts the movement of the moving part. The moving part includes a first mounting plate 51 installed on the end of the gripping mechanism 3, two sets of slide rails 52 installed on the outer wall of the bottom end of the first mounting plate 51, a first slider 53 slidably connected to the slide rails 52, a second mounting plate 54 installed on the outer wall of the first slider 53, and an auxiliary plate 55 installed on the side wall of the second mounting plate 54. The locking part includes a groove 56 opened in the auxiliary plate 55, a second slider 57 slidably connected to the groove 56, a locking rod 58 connected to the second slider 57 and inserted into the auxiliary plate 55, a spring 59 wound on the outer wall of the locking rod 58, a locking groove 510 opened in the first mounting plate 51, and a pull rod 511 installed on the outer end of the locking rod 58.

[0027] When the operator needs to adjust the spacing of the first slider 53, they only need to pull the lever 511 outward, so that the lever 511 drives the locking lever 58 to move outward. The locking lever 58 slides outward in the slide groove 56 through the second slider 57. During the sliding process, the spring 59 is compressed and deformed until the inner end of the locking lever 58 moves out of the locking groove 510, releasing the limit between the auxiliary plate 55 and the first mounting plate 51. At this time, the operator can move the second mounting plate 54, so that the second mounting plate 54 moves along the length direction of the first mounting plate 51 through the auxiliary plate 55, while sliding smoothly on the slide rail 52 through the first slider 53. After the material gripping mechanism 3 installed on the second mounting plate 54 moves to the appropriate position, the pulled lever 511 is loosened. At this time, the restoring force generated by the elasticity of the spring 59 pushes the locking lever 58 to return to its original state, and finally it is inserted into the corresponding locking groove 510 to form a fixed position.

[0028] It is worth noting that a set of gripping mechanisms 3 are installed on the outer wall of the second mounting plate 54. The second mounting plate 54 slides on the slide rail 52 via two sets of first sliders 53. The auxiliary plate 55 is provided with a locking component, which allows the second mounting plate 54 to move back and forth on the slide rail 52, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of gripping mechanisms 3. This sliding mechanism provides a smooth and precise adjustment capability, ensuring precise control of the clamping distance.

[0029] One end of the spring 59 is connected to the outer wall of the second slider 57, and the other end of the spring 59 is connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary plate 55. The function of the spring 59 is to provide elastic force during the adjustment process to help restore and lock the position of the locking part. When the pull rod 511 is pulled, the spring 59 is compressed. When the pull rod is released, the restoring force of the spring helps the locking rod 58 return to its original position, achieving fast and stable locking.

[0030] Several sets of locking grooves 510 are provided along the length of the first mounting plate 51. The diameter of the locking grooves 510 is equal to the diameter of the locking rod 58. This design allows for multiple locking positions and provides greater adjustment flexibility. Operators can select different locking grooves 510 to lock the position of the material gripping mechanism 3 as needed. The diameter of the locking grooves 510 is equal to the diameter of the locking rod, ensuring precise docking and secure locking of the locking parts.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
