Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling robot technology, and in particular to a multi-station rotary material handling robot. Background Technology
[0002] The multi-station rotary pick-and-place robot uses a control mechanism to set programs and parameters, driving the rotary mechanism to rotate the pick-and-place mechanism to the designated station. Then, the lifting mechanism adjusts the height of the pick-and-place mechanism to bring it close to the material. The material suction cup of the pick-and-place mechanism picks up the material under the action of a vacuum generator. Then, through the coordinated action of the rotary mechanism and the lifting mechanism, the material is moved above the target station. Finally, the material is released, completing one pick-and-place operation.
[0003] Existing multi-station rotary pick-and-place robots use suction cups and other devices to hold materials in place. When changing materials at a processing position, the existing material needs to be removed and placed before the new material is picked up and placed, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a multi-station rotary material handling robot to more accurately resolve the problems described above.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model proposes a multi-station rotary material handling robot, including a rotating disk. Multiple clamping components are provided on the outer side of the rotating disk for clamping workpieces. A driving component is provided on one side of the rotating disk for driving the rotating disk and the clamping components to rotate.
[0007] Furthermore, the vertical cross-section of the rotating disk is a regular octagon, and a clamping assembly is fixedly installed on each side of the rotating disk. The clamping assembly includes a base plate, which is fixedly connected to the rotating disk. A control box is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, and a mounting base is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the control box. The mounting base has four sliding grooves arranged in a circular array. Each of the four sliding grooves has a sliding seat slidably connected to it. A claw is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each sliding seat. The mounting base has a built-in drive device for driving the sliding seat to move.
[0008] Furthermore, the claw includes a horizontal plate, which is fixedly connected to the sliding seat. A vertical plate is fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal plate, and two locking blocks are fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with four mounting slots arranged in a circular array. The four mounting slots are symmetrically distributed on both sides. A support plate is fixedly connected in the two mounting slots on one side. The upper surface of the support plate is provided with two mounting holes, and a support member is provided in the mounting holes.
[0010] Furthermore, the support includes a vertical rod that passes through a mounting hole. The vertical rod has a circular cross-section. The length of the mounting hole is greater than the diameter of the vertical rod, and the width is the same as the diameter of the vertical rod. The outer side of the vertical rod is provided with a threaded groove, and two fastening nuts are threadedly connected to the outer side of the vertical rod. The two fastening nuts are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the support plate, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, a fixing column is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod, and a support block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing column.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper end of the support block is tapered.
[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a fixed frame, inside which a servo motor is fixedly connected, and the main shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the rotating disk.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This utility model proposes a multi-station rotary material handling robot. By setting up a rotating disk, four unprocessed materials are arranged in a row. As the disk rotates, the four materials are sequentially clamped by the clamping blocks on the gripping assembly. Then, the robot picks up the four materials arranged in a row from the processed materials and fixes them on the rotating disk. At this point, both processed and unprocessed materials are on the rotating disk. The rotating disk then rotates again, bringing the four unprocessed materials closer to the processing position, and placing the four unprocessed materials one by one into the processing position. This enables rapid picking up of processed materials and rapid placement of unprocessed materials, eliminating the need to first pick up and place the processed materials and then pick up and place the unprocessed materials, thus saving a significant amount of time.

[0021] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain this utility model.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model proposes a multi-station rotary material handling robot, characterized by comprising a rotating disk 1, with multiple clamping components 2 on the outer side of the rotating disk 1 for clamping workpieces, and a driving component 3 on one side of the rotating disk 1 for driving the rotating disk 1 and the clamping components 2 to rotate. The vertical cross-section of the rotating disk 1 is a regular octagon, and a clamping component 2 is fixedly installed on each side of the rotating disk 1. The clamping component 2 includes a base plate 21, which is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 1. A control box 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 21, and a mounting base 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the control box 22. The mounting base 23 has four sliding grooves arranged in a circular array, and sliding seats 24 are slidably connected in each of the four sliding grooves. The upper surface of each sliding seat 24 is fixedly connected to a claw 25. A driving device is built into the mounting base 23 to drive the sliding seats 24 to move. When in use, four unprocessed materials are arranged in a row, and the driving component 3 drives the sliding seats 24 to move. The rotating disk 1 rotates, causing all the clamping components 2 on the outside of the rotating disk 1 to rotate. Four clamping components 2 first pick up four materials to be processed. After the four material plates are processed, they are arranged in a row. At this time, the clamping components 2 clamp and fix the plates to the rotating disk 1. As the rotating disk 1 rotates, the four materials are clamped in sequence. At this time, both processed and unprocessed materials are on the rotating disk 1. After clamping, the rotating disk 1 rotates again, and then the four materials to be processed are placed on the rotating disk 1 for processing. This realizes the replacement of materials at the processing position. It is not necessary to first pick up the processed materials and place them, and then pick up the unprocessed materials and place them. This can save time and improve efficiency. At the same time, it is conducive to improving work efficiency. When clamping materials, the drive device inside the control box 22 first drives the four sliding seats 24 to slide outward and open the jaws 25. When the material is located inside the jaws 25, the drive device controls the four sliding seats 24 to move closer to each other to clamp the material.
[0023] like Figure 3As shown, the gripper 25 includes a horizontal plate 251, which is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 24. A vertical plate 252 is fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal plate 251, and two clamping blocks 253 are fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate 252. When clamping materials, the four clamping blocks 253 clamp the sides of the materials, making the materials more stable.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 23 has four mounting slots arranged in a circular array, symmetrically distributed on both sides. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the two mounting slots on one side. The upper surface of the support plate 4 has two mounting holes, each containing a support member 5. The support member 5 includes a vertical rod 51 that passes through the mounting hole. The vertical rod 51 has a circular cross-section. The length of the mounting hole is greater than the diameter of the vertical rod 51, and the width is the same as the diameter of the vertical rod 51. A threaded groove is provided on the outer side of the vertical rod 51, and two fastening nuts 52 are threaded onto the outer side of the vertical rod 51. The two fastening nuts 52 are located on the support plate. 4. The upper and lower surfaces are supported by four vertical rods 51 from four directions. After the material is clamped by the clamping block 253, the inner side of the material is supported by the four vertical rods 51, which helps to keep the material parallel to the side of the rotating disk 1. When the material is placed, the material is horizontal with the platform, avoiding the material from tilting and bumping into the platform. At the same time, the vertical rods 51 are fixed by pressing the support plate 4 with two fastening nuts 52. The vertical rods 51 can be moved in the mounting hole to adjust the position. Just reverse the fastening nuts 52, loosen the vertical rods 51, and push the vertical rods 51. After adjustment, tighten the fastening nuts 52 again.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the vertical rod 51 is fixedly connected to the fixing column 6, and the upper surface of the fixing column 6 is fixedly connected to the support block 7. The upper end of the support block 7 is conical, and the surface of the material plate is provided with through holes at the four corners. The conical support block 7 can adapt to through holes of different sizes, increasing the adaptability of the support block 7.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a fixed frame 31, and a servo motor 32 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 31. The spindle of the servo motor 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 1. The rotating disk 1 is driven by the servo motor 32. When the rotating disk 1 rotates, since the gripper needs to connect the vacuum tube and the wire, the rotating disk 1 will not rotate continuously 360 degrees. Instead, it will rotate 360 degrees in the forward direction and then rotate 360 degrees in the reverse direction to avoid the vacuum tube and the wire from getting tangled.
[0027] Working principle: Four unprocessed materials are arranged in a row. The servo motor 32 drives the rotating disk 1 to rotate. All the clamping components 2 on the outside of the rotating disk 1 rotate, arranging the four unprocessed materials in a row. The clamping components 2 first pick up the four materials to be processed. The four processed material plates at the processing position are also arranged in a row and clamped by the other four clamping components 2. After clamping, the rotating disk 1 rotates. Then, the four materials to be processed on the rotating disk 1 are placed in the place of the processed materials, realizing the replacement of materials at the processing position.
[0028] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
