Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile technology, and in particular to a reed barrel transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] The reed is a key component in the fabric weaving process. During fabric production, the reed needs to be cleaned periodically. This involves using a cleaning device to remove dirt from the surface of the reed teeth so that it can be reused. Due to the limitations of the shape and size of the reed teeth themselves, a reed barrel is often used to assemble the reed teeth before transporting them to an ultrasonic cleaning device. Currently, the reed barrel is mainly transported manually. However, since cleaning fluid and abrasive particles need to be added to the reed barrel during cleaning, manual handling can easily lead to fatigue and the barrel being knocked over, making subsequent cleaning difficult. Furthermore, manual handling is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of efficient reed cleaning. Therefore, a reed barrel transport device is needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a reed barrel transfer device to solve the problem of low efficiency in manual transfer of reed barrels in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A reed barrel transfer device, comprising:
[0006] The robotic arm has a base at its bottom supporting it, a gripper at its front end to grip the reed barrel, a gripper base at its bottom, and at least two sets of grippers arranged circumferentially on the gripper base. The grippers are slidably connected to the gripper base radially. A barrel-gripping plate is provided at the bottom end of the grippers away from the gripper base. The outer contour of the barrel-gripping plate is arc-shaped, and the inner contour is a straight inclined surface. An inclined positioning hole is provided in the straight inclined surface, and a positioning bolt is provided in the inclined positioning hole to connect the grippers to the gripper base.
[0007] To achieve the above technical solution, a robotic arm is used to move the gripper to remove the reed barrel from the workstation or place it on the workstation. When gripping the reed barrel, the robotic arm moves the gripper above the reed barrel, and then moves the gripper towards the reed barrel, allowing the gripping plate to extend into the reed barrel. The grippers slide outward on the gripper base, causing the gripping plate to press against the inner wall of the reed barrel, thus achieving the gripping action. Furthermore, the outer contour of the gripping plate is arc-shaped, which improves the contact stability between the gripping plate and the inner wall of the reed barrel. By opening inclined positioning holes in the flat inclined surface and using positioning bolts to connect the grippers to the gripper base, the synchronicity of the grippers' movement with the robotic arm is ensured.
[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sliding base is provided between the root of the gripper and the gripper base. The sliding base is slidably connected to the gripper base radially. The positioning bolt in the inclined positioning hole is connected to the sliding base. The gripper moves synchronously with the sliding base.
[0009] To achieve the above technical solution, by setting a sliding base that is radially connected to the gripper base, the movement stability of the gripper when gripping the reed barrel can be improved. Connecting the positioning bolt in the inclined positioning hole to the sliding base can further ensure the synchronicity and stability of the gripper moving synchronously with the sliding base.
[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, an outer wall positioning hole is provided at the root of the outer wall of the gripper, the outer wall positioning hole is connected to the sliding base by bolts, and a positioning groove is provided between the outer wall positioning hole and the clamping plate, the positioning groove being recessed inward.
[0011] To achieve the above technical solution, by setting the positioning holes on the outer wall in conjunction with the inclined positioning holes, the connection reliability between the gripper and the sliding base can be further improved. The positioning groove between the positioning hole on the outer wall and the clamping plate, with the positioning groove recessed inward, can provide more sufficient installation space when installing bolts in the positioning hole on the outer wall.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding base is T-shaped, with the short side of the sliding base located inside the gripper base, and the long side of the sliding base extending downward out of the gripper base.
[0013] To achieve the above technical solution, by setting the sliding base in a T-shape, when the reed barrel is clamped, the sliding base can provide more stable support after the jaws are pulled downward, ensuring the clamping stability of the reed barrel. The short side of the sliding base is located inside the gripper base, which can improve the support stability when pulled downward. Extending the long side of the sliding base downward out of the gripper base can facilitate the installation of the jaws on the sliding base.
[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, a T-shaped groove is provided at the bottom of the gripper base, and the sliding base slides in conjunction with the T-shaped groove.
[0015] To achieve the above technical solution, the T-shaped groove can be used to limit the movement of the sliding base.
[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the grippers are evenly distributed along the circumference of the bottom of the gripper base.
[0017] To achieve the above technical solution, the grippers are evenly distributed around the bottom of the gripper base, which can improve the stability of the grippers when holding the reed barrel, make the reed barrel bear force evenly, and improve the stability of transportation.
[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the gripper base is provided with two sets at the bottom of the gripper base.
[0019] The above technical solution enables convenient one-time grabbing of reed barrels on two sets of conveyor belts, improving equipment efficiency.
[0020] As described above, the reed barrel transfer device of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by setting a robotic arm to drive the clamping seat, the reed barrel is removed from the workstation or placed on the workstation. When gripping the reed barrel, the robotic arm drives the clamping seat to move above the reed barrel. The robotic arm drives the clamping seat to move towards the reed barrel, so that the clamping plate can extend into the reed barrel. The gripper slides outward on the gripper base, so that the clamping plate abuts against the inner wall of the reed barrel, thereby realizing the gripping action of the reed barrel. Moreover, the outer contour of the clamping plate is an arc contour, which can improve the contact stability between the clamping plate and the inner wall of the reed barrel. By opening an inclined positioning hole in the flat inclined surface, the gripper is connected to the gripper base by positioning bolts, thereby ensuring the synchronicity of the gripper's movement with the robotic arm.

[0026] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a reed barrel transfer device, including a base 2 supporting the bottom of a robotic arm 1, a clamping seat 3 at the front end of the robotic arm 1 for clamping the reed barrel, a gripper base 4 at the bottom of the gripper base 3, at least two sets of grippers 5 arranged circumferentially on the bottom of the gripper base 4, the grippers 5 being slidably connected to the gripper base 4 radially, a barrel clamping plate 6 at the bottom of the grippers 5 away from the gripper base 4, the outer contour of the barrel clamping plate 6 being an arc shape, the inner contour of the barrel clamping plate 6 being a straight inclined surface, and an inclined positioning hole 7 being opened in the straight inclined surface, with a positioning bolt in the inclined positioning hole 7 to connect the grippers 5 to the gripper base 4.
[0028] By setting up a robotic arm 1 to drive the gripper 3, the reed barrel is removed from the workstation or placed on the workstation. When gripping the reed barrel, the robotic arm 1 drives the gripper 3 to move above the reed barrel. The robotic arm 1 drives the gripper 3 to move towards the reed barrel, so that the gripping plate 6 can extend into the reed barrel. The gripper 5 slides outward on the gripper base 4, so that the gripping plate 6 abuts against the inner wall of the reed barrel, thereby realizing the gripping action of the reed barrel. The outer contour of the gripping plate 6 is arc-shaped, which can improve the contact stability between the gripping plate 6 and the inner wall of the reed barrel. By opening a sloping positioning hole 7 in the flat sloping surface, the gripper 5 is connected to the gripper base 4 by positioning bolts, thereby ensuring the synchronicity of the movement of the gripper 5 with the robotic arm 1.
[0029] A sliding base 8 is provided between the root of the gripper 5 and the gripper base 4. The sliding base 8 is slidably connected to the gripper base 4 radially. The positioning bolt in the inclined positioning hole 7 is connected to the sliding base 8. The gripper 5 moves synchronously with the sliding base 8. By setting the sliding base 8 to slide radially connected to the gripper base 4, the movement stability of the gripper 5 when gripping the reed barrel can be improved. Connecting the positioning bolt in the inclined positioning hole 7 to the sliding base 8 can further ensure the synchronicity and stability of the gripper 5 moving synchronously with the sliding base 8.
[0030] An outer wall positioning hole 9 is provided at the root of the outer wall of the gripper 5. The outer wall positioning hole 9 is connected to the sliding base 8 by bolts. A positioning groove 10 is provided between the outer wall positioning hole 9 and the clamping plate 6. The positioning groove 10 is recessed inward. By providing the outer wall positioning hole 9 in conjunction with the inclined positioning hole 7, the connection reliability between the gripper 5 and the sliding base 8 can be further improved. The positioning groove 10 between the outer wall positioning hole 9 and the clamping plate 6, with the positioning groove 10 recessed inward, can provide more sufficient installation space when installing bolts in the outer wall positioning hole 9.
[0031] The sliding base 8 is T-shaped, with its short side located inside the gripper base 4 and its long side extending downwards out of the gripper base 4. By making the sliding base 8 T-shaped, when the reed barrel is gripped, the sliding base 8 can provide more stable support after the gripper 5 is subjected to downward pulling force, ensuring the gripping stability of the reed barrel. The short side of the sliding base 8 being located inside the gripper base 4 can improve the support stability when subjected to downward pulling force. Extending the long side of the sliding base 8 downwards out of the gripper base 4 makes it convenient to install the gripper 5 on the sliding base 8.
[0032] The bottom of the gripper base 4 is provided with a T-shaped groove 11, and the sliding base 8 slides in conjunction with the T-shaped groove 11. The T-shaped groove 11 can limit the sliding base 8. The grippers 5 are evenly distributed around the bottom of the gripper base 4. The even distribution of the grippers 5 around the bottom of the gripper base 4 can improve the stability of the grippers 5 when holding the reed barrel, make the reed barrel evenly stressed, and improve the stability of the transfer.
[0033] The gripper base 4 has two sets at the bottom of the gripper base 3, which can easily grab two sets of reed barrels on the conveyor belt at one time, improving the working efficiency of the equipment.
[0034] This invention utilizes a robotic arm to move a gripper base, allowing the reed barrel to be removed from or placed on the workstation. When gripping the reed barrel, the robotic arm moves the gripper base above it, causing it to move towards the barrel. This allows the gripping plate to extend into the barrel, while the grippers slide outwards on the gripper base, pressing the gripper plate against the inner wall of the barrel. This achieves the gripping action. The curved outer contour of the gripper plate improves the contact stability between the gripper plate and the inner wall of the barrel. An inclined positioning hole is provided within the straight inclined surface, and positioning bolts connect the grippers to the gripper base, ensuring the synchronous movement of the grippers with the robotic arm.
[0035] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. All equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
