[0027] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments are illustrative only and do not limit the scope of the present application unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present application or its application or uses.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail herein. However, where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices can be considered part of the present application.

[0030] In all of the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely illustrative and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of exemplary embodiments can have different values.

[0031] It should be noted that like references and characters herein relate to like items throughout the figures, and once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present application, a material taking mechanism is provided. Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The material taking mechanism of the present application comprises a mounting seat 1 and a floating assembly. The floating assembly is provided with a material taking piece 2, which is suitable for clamping a workpiece. The floating assembly is movably connected to the mounting seat 1. The floating assembly can move in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the material taking piece 2 to move, so as to adjust the position of the material taking piece 2.

[0033] In this example, the floating assembly is provided with a material taking piece 2 for clamping a workpiece. The floating material taking piece 2 is movably arranged on the mounting seat 1 and can move in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the material taking piece 2 to move, so as to adjust the position of the material taking piece 2, so that the material taking piece 2 can accurately and stably grasp the workpiece.

[0034] The workpiece is installed in the magazine, and the workpiece is provided with a clamping position. Since there is an assembly error when the workpiece is installed in the magazine, the position of the clamping position is also error. When the material taking mechanism clamps the workpiece from the magazine, the material taking piece 2 clamps the workpiece through the clamping position. The floating assembly can move relative to the mounting seat 1, so as to drive the material taking piece 2 to move, so as to adjust the position of the material taking piece 2, so that the material taking piece 2 can accurately correspond to the position of the clamping position of the workpiece, so that the material taking piece 2 can accurately and stably clamp the workpiece.

[0035] In this example, the material taking piece 2 can be a negative pressure suction cup, which is arranged at the lower end of the floating assembly. The upper end of the magazine has an opening, and the upper surface of the workpiece has an adsorption position. When the material taking mechanism clamps the workpiece, the floating assembly is moved to adjust the position of the negative pressure suction cup, so that the negative pressure suction cup can be aligned with the adsorption position on the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be stably adsorbed. Among them, the negative pressure suction cup can be arranged in multiple, for example, two, three, four or five, so as to stably adsorb the workpiece.

[0036] Of course, the material taking piece 2 can also be a mechanical claw or the like structure, which can be determined by the person skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0037] In one example, as shown in Figure 3 The floating assembly includes a floating plate 3 and a universal ball bearing 4, the floating plate 3 and the mounting seat 1 are movably connected through the universal ball bearing 4, and the material taking piece 2 is arranged on the floating plate 3.

[0038] As shown in Figure 3 In this example, the floating plate 3 is movably connected to the mounting seat 1 through the universal ball bearing 4. The material taking piece 2 is installed at one end of the floating plate 3, and the material taking piece 2 can be moved by driving the floating plate 3 to move. The floating plate 3 and the mounting seat 1 are connected through the universal ball bearing 4, so as to improve the smoothness and stability of the movement of the floating plate 3.

[0039] The universal ball bearing 4 is installed on the floating plate 3, and the ball in the universal ball bearing 4 can abut against the mounting seat 1, and the ball can roll along the mounting seat 1, so that the floating plate 3 can move smoothly. Alternatively, the universal ball bearing 4 can also be installed on the mounting seat 1, and the ball in the universal ball bearing 4 abuts against the surface of the floating plate 3. The specific arrangement of the universal ball bearing 4 can be determined by the person skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0040] As shown in Figure 3As shown in the example, a plurality of universal ball bearings 4 are arranged at intervals. By arranging a plurality of universal ball bearings 4, the stability of the floating plate 3 is further improved. For example, the universal ball bearings 4 can be arranged in a ring shape or a matrix shape. The number of universal ball bearings 4 can be three, four, five, six, etc. The number of universal ball bearings 4 can be determined by the actual situation.

[0041] In one example, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting base 1 includes a first fixed plate 11 and a second fixed plate 12, the first fixed plate 11 is connected to the second fixed plate 12, and the floating plate 3 is located between the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12. The floating plate 3 is movably connected to the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12 through universal ball bearings 4.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this example, the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12 are arranged at intervals, and the floating plate 3 is arranged between the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12. One end of the floating plate 3 is movably connected to the first fixed plate 11 through a universal ball bearing 4, and the other end of the floating plate 3 away from the first fixed plate 11 is movably connected to the second fixed plate 12 through a universal ball bearing 4. The taking member 2 is arranged at the end of the floating plate 3 away from the first fixed plate 11. The second fixed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 11 to limit the relative position of the floating plate 3 in the vertical direction with respect to the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12, so that the two ends of the floating plate 3 can be movably connected to the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12, respectively.

[0043] The universal ball bearings 4 between the floating plate 3 and the first fixed plate 11 and the universal ball bearings 4 between the floating plate 3 and the second fixed plate 12 have the same structure. The number of universal ball bearings 4 between the floating plate 3 and the first fixed plate 11 can be two, three, four, five, or six, etc. The number of universal ball bearings 4 between the floating plate 3 and the second fixed plate 12 can be two, three, four, five, or six, etc. The number of universal ball bearings 4 can be determined by the actual situation.

[0044] In this example, the floating plate 3, the first fixed plate 11, and the second fixed plate 12 can be made of metal materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, or sheet metal parts, etc. The number of universal ball bearings 4 can be determined by the actual situation.

[0045] In one example, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the mounting base 1 also includes a connecting shaft 13, the floating plate 3 is provided with a clearance hole 31, the connecting shaft 13 passes through the clearance hole 31, one end of the connecting shaft 13 is connected to the first fixing plate 11, and the other end is connected to the second fixing plate 12.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in this example, the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12 are fixedly connected by a connecting shaft 13. The floating plate 3 is provided with a clearance hole 31 through it along the thickness direction. The connecting shaft 13 passes through the clearance hole 31. One end of the connecting shaft 13 along the axial direction is connected to the first fixed plate 11 by fasteners such as screws or bolts, and the other end of the connecting shaft 13 is connected to the second fixed plate 12 by fasteners such as screws or bolts.

[0047] The inner diameter of the clearance hole 31 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting shaft 13 to allow the floating plate 3 to move. For example, the clearance hole 31 can be a round hole, and the connecting shaft 13 can be a cylindrical shaft, with the diameter of the clearance hole 31 being larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft 13. The clearance hole 31 can also be an elliptical hole or a square hole, etc., which can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0048] In this example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the size of the second fixed plate 12 is smaller than that of the floating plate 3, that is, the second fixed plate 12 covers part of the floating plate 3, and other positions of the floating plate 3 can be used to set the material picking component 2.

[0049] In this example, multiple universal ball bearings 4 are provided between the floating plate 3 and the first fixed plate 11, and the multiple universal ball bearings 4 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the connecting shaft 13. Multiple universal ball bearings 4 are also provided between the floating plate 3 and the second fixed plate 12, and the multiple universal ball bearings 4 can also be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the connecting shaft 13.

[0050] In one example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the material handling mechanism also includes an elastic reset member 5, one end of which is connected to the mounting base 1 and the other end is connected to the floating component to reset the floating component.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the elastic reset member 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1, for example, it can be connected to the first fixed plate 11, or one end of the elastic reset member 5 can also be fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 12. The other end of the elastic reset member 5 is connected to the floating plate 3. When the operator pushes the floating plate 3 to move, the position of the floating plate 3 can be adjusted. When no force is applied to the floating plate 3, the elastic reset member 5 can drive the floating plate 3 to return to its original position.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one example, the elastic return member 5 comprises a plurality of tension springs, the plurality of tension springs are arranged in a ring shape, one end of the tension spring is connected to the mounting base 1, and the other end is connected to the floating assembly.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this example, one end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 12, or one end of the tension spring can also be fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 12, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the floating plate 3. The plurality of tension springs can be arranged along the circumference of the connecting shaft 13, and when no force is applied to the floating plate 3, the plurality of tension springs can make the floating plate 3 return to the preset position.

[0054] In this example, the plurality of tension springs can be arranged symmetrically about the center, so that the plurality of tension springs can stably make the floating plate 3 return to the initial position.

[0055] In this example, the tension spring can be provided with four, five, six, or seven, etc., which can be determined by the person skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and is not specifically limited here.

[0056] In this example, the elastic return member 5 can also be a compression spring or a torsion spring, etc., which can be determined by the person skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and is not specifically limited here.

[0057] As shown in Figure 1 In this example, the floating assembly further comprises a handle 6, and the handle 6 is connected to the floating plate 3. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the material taking member 2, the operator can hold the handle 6 to push the floating plate 3 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the material taking member 2. The handle 6 can be fixedly connected to the floating plate 3 by screws or bolts, or the handle 6 can be integrally formed with the floating plate 3.

[0058] Among them, the handle 6 can be provided with a plurality of handles 6, and the plurality of handles 6 can be arranged at different positions, so that the operator can push the floating plate 3 to move at different positions, thereby improving the convenience of using the material taking mechanism.

[0059] In this example, the handle 6 can be provided with two handles 6, and the two handles 6 are arranged at intervals, and the operator can pull the two handles 6 with both hands, thereby facilitating the movement of the floating plate 3.

[0060] In this example, the first fixed plate 11 can be provided with a through hole, one end of the handle 6 passes through the through hole and is connected to the floating plate 3. The size of the through hole is larger than the size of the handle 6, so that the operator can smoothly pull or push the handle 6 to move in the through hole, thereby driving the floating plate 3 to move, so as to adjust the position of the material taking member 2.

[0061] In one example, as shown in Figure 1 The taking mechanism further comprises a guide 7 connected to the floating assembly, which is adapted to push the workpiece to move so that the clamping position of the workpiece can correspond to the taking member 2.

[0062] In this example, the guide 7 can be connected to the floating plate 3. For example, the guide 7 is provided with four, which are connected to the four corners of the floating plate 3. When the taking mechanism enters the bin, the guide 7 can abut against the side wall of the workpiece. When the taking mechanism continues to move downward, if the workpiece is not in the preset position, the guide can push the workpiece to move to the preset position so that the clamping position of the workpiece can correspond to the taking member 2. After the taking mechanism moves to the preset position, the position of the taking member 2 can be adjusted by further moving the floating plate 3.

[0063] In this example, the guide 7 comprises a guide rod, one end of which is connected to the floating plate 3, and the lower end of which is provided with an inclined surface that can abut against the side wall of the workpiece. When the taking mechanism continues to move downward, the workpiece can be pushed to move to the preset position by the inclined surface on the guide 7, so that the clamping position of the workpiece can correspond to the taking member 2.

[0064] In one example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The taking mechanism further comprises a positioning member 8 mounted to the mounting seat 1, which is adapted to cooperate with the bin to position the mounting seat 1.

[0065] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In this example, the positioning member 8 can be mounted to the first fixed plate 11. When the taking mechanism moves downward into the bin, the positioning member 8 can abut against the inner side wall of the bin. When the taking mechanism continues to move downward, if the taking mechanism is not in the preset position, the positioning member 8 can move relative to the inner side wall of the bin, thereby pushing the taking mechanism to move to the preset position so that the clamping position of the workpiece can correspond to the taking member 2.

[0066] In this example, the positioning member 8 can be provided with multiple, for example, four, which are connected to the four corners of the first fixed plate 11, so as to adjust the position of the taking mechanism. The lower end of the positioning member 8 is provided with an inclined surface that can abut against the inner side wall of the bin. When the taking mechanism continues to move downward, the taking mechanism can be pushed to move to the preset position by the inclined surface on the positioning member 8, so that the taking member 2 can correspond to the clamping position of the workpiece.
