Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material handling, specifically to an item gripping mechanism for loading and unloading equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing enterprises, AGVs are a common type of transportation equipment used to transport materials between various stages of production.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN220299684U discloses a material handling device. This device includes a support base connected to a transport device; an extension plate that slides horizontally above the support base and extends outwards from above the support base; and a positioning gripping mechanism located at the bottom of the clamping positioning plate for gripping items. With the extension plate and positioning gripping mechanism, the extension plate can extend from above the support base, and after the positioning gripping mechanism clamps the item, it slides back above the support base to load the item. Alternatively, after the positioning gripping mechanism clamps the item above the support base, it extends from above the support base to unload the item. This eliminates the need for manual loading and unloading, reducing manpower. However, in this solution, during the gripping and placement of items in the AGV, the gripping mechanism cannot classify the types of items, easily causing different items to mix together. This requires manual separation by operators, reducing work efficiency and increasing the workload of workers. Therefore, we propose an item gripping mechanism for loading and unloading equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an item gripping mechanism for loading and unloading equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A gripping mechanism for loading and unloading equipment includes: a base, the top surface of which is connected to a plurality of support rods, and the top surface of which is connected to a mounting plate; and a gripping assembly disposed inside the mounting plate for gripping items.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a gripping component, when the trolley loaded with items is parked on one side of the base, the operator starts the gripping component to grab the items on the trolley, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid loading, unloading and sorting.

[0008] Preferably, the gripping assembly includes: a movable plate, which is sleeved inside the mounting plate, and a gripping plate is provided on the bottom surface of the movable plate, with two sliding grooves formed on the bottom surface of the gripping plate; a bidirectional lead screw, which is movably sleeved inside the sliding grooves, and a fixing plate is sleeved on the bidirectional lead screw.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up fixed plates, during use, the operator can rotate the bidirectional screw, which will drive the fixed plates to move closer to each other, thereby grabbing and fixing the items in the trolley and achieving the purpose of grabbing.

[0010] Preferably, the gripping assembly further includes an instrument slot, which is formed on the bottom surface of the gripping plate, and an industrial camera is connected inside the instrument slot.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up an industrial camera, during use, the operator connects the industrial camera to the programmable logic controller. During the grasping process, the industrial camera captures the shape and markings of the items, and with the help of image processing and recognition algorithms, identifies the specific shape and type of the items. This allows the grasping component to classify and load / unload the grasped items, improving work efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, a first motor is connected to one side of the gripping plate, a first gear is connected to the drive shaft of the first motor, and a second gear adapted to the first gear is connected to the bidirectional lead screw.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a first motor, the operator starts the first motor during the gripping process. The rotation of the first motor drive shaft drives the first gear to rotate, and the rotation of the first gear drives the second gear to rotate, thereby driving the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of providing driving force for the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0014] Preferably, two movable slots are formed on one side of the inner side of the mounting plate, and a second motor is connected inside the movable slot. A rotating shaft is connected to the drive shaft of the second motor, and the rotating shaft is threaded and threadedly connected to the movable plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a second motor, the operator starts the second motor during sorting. The second motor drives the shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft can move the mounting plate horizontally, allowing the items grabbed by the gripping plate to move horizontally. This facilitates the sorting and placement of the grabbed items and reduces the workload of the operators.

[0016] Preferably, an electric push rod is connected to the inner bottom surface of the movable plate, one end of the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod is connected to the top surface of the gripping plate, and multiple placement slots are provided on the top surface of the base.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting up placement slots, different types of items can be classified and stored in the placement slots, and the gripping plate can be moved by the electric push rod telescopic shaft, thereby adjusting the gripping height and improving practicality.

[0018] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0019] By setting up fixed plates, operators can rotate a bidirectional lead screw during use, which moves the fixed plates closer together to grip and secure items in the trolley, achieving the gripping purpose. By installing an industrial camera, operators connect it to a programmable logic controller (PLC). During the gripping process, the industrial camera captures the shape and markings of the items, and image processing and recognition algorithms identify the specific shape and type of the items. This allows the gripping component to classify and load / unload the gripped items, improving work efficiency.

[0020] By setting up a first motor, the operator starts the first motor during gripping, which drives the first gear to rotate via the drive shaft. The rotation of the first gear drives the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the double-sided lead screw to rotate, thus providing driving force for the rotation of the double-sided lead screw. By setting up a second motor, the operator starts the second motor during sorting, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft drives the mounting plate to move horizontally, allowing the gripping plate to move the gripped items horizontally, facilitating the sorting and placement of the gripped items and reducing the workload of the operators.
