Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a gripping robot for use with conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, with the continuous improvement of automation, conveying equipment is widely used in the process of product transmission and handling. However, simple conveying equipment often struggles to achieve precise gripping, positioning, and placement of products. Traditional manual operation methods are inefficient and cannot guarantee high precision and stability, failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency production. While some existing robotic arms can perform gripping functions to a certain extent, they still have shortcomings in positioning accuracy, gripping stability, and adaptability to products. For example, some robotic arms have simple gripping structures that are prone to damaging products. They also lack efficient and precise positioning methods, leading to inaccurate product placement and affecting subsequent processing or assembly procedures. Therefore, developing a robotic arm that works closely with conveying equipment and possesses high-precision positioning and stable gripping capabilities is of significant practical importance.

In the gripping section, the gripping device quickly adjusts its height position by utilizing the smooth movement of the gripping sliding block within the slide groove. The symmetrically arranged grippers, in conjunction with the vertically extendable auxiliary fixing device, achieve stable gripping. In the positioning section, the visual positioning device, with its high-precision camera and image processing device, achieves real-time capture and precise positioning of the product's position, ensuring accurate gripping operations. The buffer pads on the inner side of the grippers effectively prevent damage during product gripping. The overall device has a high degree of automation, effectively improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and protecting product quality.
