Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a vacuum chuck end effector tooling used in an automated tandem production line for automotive cold stamping parts. Background Technology
[0002] Cold-stamped parts are stamped using cold stamping dies. A single stamped part may require 4-5 stamping dies. During production, these dies are installed on automated tandem presses, with each stamping operation performed in a different die. A robot uses vacuum suction cups to transfer the stamped parts from each operation to the next. Within each operation, the stamped parts may need to be stretched or shortened, requiring the suction cup fixtures to have the necessary functionality. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vacuum suction cup end effector tooling, which can pick up and move stamping parts to meet the stamping requirements in different molds.
[0004] The technical solution provided by this utility model is: a vacuum suction cup end effector tooling, including a bracket and a mounting plate set on the bracket, a linear guide rail fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate, a vacuum suction cup device slidably connected on the linear guide rail, a cylinder provided on the mounting plate, and the piston rod of the cylinder fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup device.
[0005] Two sets of vacuum suction cup devices are slidably connected on the linear guide rail, and the two sets of vacuum suction cup devices are arranged along the direction of the linear guide rail; the mounting plate is provided with two cylinders that drive the two sets of vacuum suction cup devices respectively, and the piston rods of the corresponding cylinders are fixedly connected to the corresponding vacuum suction cup devices.
[0006] The vacuum suction cup device includes a base, on which multiple support rods are connected by a lockable hinge structure. Each support rod is connected to a vacuum suction cup, and the base is slidably connected to a linear guide rail.
[0007] When the cylinder moves, it drives the suction cup device to move linearly along the direction of the linear guide rail. This allows the suction cup device to hold and move the stamping workpiece, enabling it to be stamped in different molds. When two sets of vacuum suction cup devices are slidably connected on the linear guide rail, it is possible to shorten or lengthen the distance between two parts. Attached Figure Description
[0008] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0009] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model includes a bracket 1 and two mounting plates 2 arranged on the bracket 1 and located on the same straight line. A straight guide rail 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each mounting plate 2. A vacuum suction cup device 5 is slidably connected on the straight guide rail 4. Each mounting plate 2 is provided with a cylinder 3 that drives the corresponding vacuum suction cup device 5 to move. The piston rod of the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the corresponding vacuum suction cup device 5.
[0010] The vacuum suction cup device 5 includes a base 9, on which multiple support rods 8 are connected via a lockable hinge structure. Each support rod 8 is connected to a vacuum suction cup 6. The base is slidably connected to a linear guide rail. (See attached diagram) Figure 1 As shown, the lockable hinge structure is a clamp structure, which consists of two semi-circular clamp halves 7 that are joined together and connected by bolts. The upper semi-circular clamp halves 7 are fixedly connected to the support rod 8. Loosening the bolts and rotating the clamp halves can adjust the angle of the support rod, thereby adjusting the position of the vacuum suction cup.
[0011] The present invention adopts the above structure. First, the vacuum suction cup 6 is started and the parts 10 and 11 are attracted. Then, the cylinder 3 is started. When the cylinder 3 moves, the cylinder 3 drives the vacuum suction cup device 5 to move in a straight line along the direction of the linear guide rail 4. Thus, the two vacuum suction cup devices 5 can attract the two parts 10 and 11 on the left and right sides and move them to shorten or lengthen the distance.
