Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the loading and unloading robotic arm for glass bottle production includes a base plate 1, a protective shell 2 mounted on the top of the base plate 1, a support plate 3 rotatably mounted on the top of the protective shell 2, a motor 4 for driving the support plate 3 to rotate inside the support plate 3, a fixed column 13 that passes through the top surface of the protective shell 2 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 3, the fixed column 13 is rotatably connected to the protective shell 2, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the fixed column 13 through a connecting plate, and a fixed box 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 3.

[0020] Motor 5 drives the fixed column 13 to rotate, and the fixed column 13 drives the support plate 3 and the fixed box 5 to rotate, which can realize the adjustment of the angle of the fixed box 5.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a crossbar 6 is movably connected to the front end of the fixed box 5. A telescopic cylinder 14 is installed on the top inside the fixed box 5. A sliding groove is opened on the front end face. A T-shaped plate 15 is installed at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 14. A protruding strip extending to the inside of the sliding groove is fixedly connected to the side of the T-shaped plate 15. A positioning plate 16 is fixedly connected to the other end of the crossbar 6. The positioning plate 16 is installed on the protruding strip by bolts.

[0022] The extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 14 causes the T-shaped plate 15 to move the crossbar 6 up and down, thus adjusting the height of the crossbar 6.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of crossbar 6 is rotatably connected to crossbar 7, the end of crossbar 6 is fixedly connected to mounting plate 17, and motor 18 is mounted on the top. The output shaft of motor 18 passes through mounting plate 17 and is connected to crossbar 7 through connecting plate 2.

[0024] Motor 218 drives crossbar 27 to rotate, which can adjust the angle between crossbar 16 and crossbar 27.

[0025] A finger cylinder 8 is installed at one end of the crossbar 2 7. The two output ends of the finger cylinder 8 are equipped with grippers 9. The end of the crossbar 2 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2 19. The finger cylinder 8 is installed on the mounting plate 2 19.

[0026] By operating the finger cylinder 8, the two grippers 9 can be opened or closed, thereby enabling the gripping or releasing of the glass bottle opening.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a vertical plate 10 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1 on one side of the protective shell 2. A mounting frame 11 is movably installed on the side of the vertical plate 10 away from the protective shell 2. Three infrared ranging sensors 12 are installed inside the mounting frame 11, and the three infrared ranging sensors 12 are respectively installed at both ends and the middle of the mounting frame 11. A positioning frame 20 is fixed to the rear end of the mounting frame 11 and sleeved on the outside of the vertical plate 10. A bolt is threaded through and installed on the positioning frame 20, and the end of the bolt abuts against the vertical plate 10.

[0028] By using three infrared ranging sensors 12 to measure the position of the same glass bottle, the bottle can be positioned, making it easier to grip. The height of the infrared ranging sensors 12 can be adjusted by sliding the mounting frame 11 along the vertical plate 10 and then tightening the bolts, allowing the height of the sensors to be adjusted according to the height of the glass bottle.

[0029] In practical use, this device is powered by an external power source, and the linkage and control between various components are achieved through an external control system. When it is necessary to transfer glass bottles on the conveyor belt to the processing station, the glass bottles on the conveyor belt can be positioned by three infrared ranging sensors 12. This utility model uses motor 5 to drive the fixed box 5 to rotate, which can adjust the angle between the fixed box 5 and the crossbar 6. The extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 14 causes the T-shaped plate 15 to move the crossbar 6 up and down, which can adjust the height of the crossbar 6. Motor 2 18 drives the crossbar 2 7 to rotate, which can adjust the angle between the crossbar 6 and the crossbar 2 7. The two grippers 9 are closed by the finger cylinder 8 to grasp the glass bottle. After the glass bottle is grasped, the telescopic cylinder 14 retracts, and with the work of motor 5 and motor 2 18, the glass bottle can be transferred to the top of the processing station. The telescopic cylinder 14 extends, and then the two grippers 9 are opened by the finger cylinder 8, which can place the glass bottle on the processing station.
