The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0034] On the one hand, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a material clamping robot according to one embodiment of the present invention includes two clamping devices 1. Each clamping device 1 includes a clamping component 2, a lifting component 3, and a moving component 4. The clamping component 2 includes a clamping assembly, which includes a mounting base 21, a rotating unit 22 disposed on the mounting base 21, and a clamping unit 23 disposed on the rotating unit 22. The lifting component 3 is used to drive the mounting base 21 to perform a lifting action. The moving component 4 is used to drive the mounting base 21 to perform a translational action. Specifically, the clamping units 23 of the two clamping devices 1 are staggered, that is, the clamping units 23 are oriented towards the loading space between the two clamping devices 1.

[0035] The aforementioned clamping robot uses a clamping unit 23 to clamp materials, a rotating unit 22 to drive the clamping unit 23 to rotate, a lifting component 3 to drive the mounting base 21 to lift, and a moving component 4 to drive the mounting base 21 to move horizontally, thereby realizing the multi-degree-of-freedom clamping and loading action of the clamping device 1. At the same time, by setting two clamping devices 1, the two clamping devices 1 alternately clamp materials from both sides of the clamping robot to the middle loading point to perform the clamping and loading action, which facilitates the improvement of handling efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating unit 22 is a first plane, and the plane containing the linear movement of the moving component 4 driving the mounting base 21 is a second plane; the first plane and the second plane are the same plane. Thus, by limiting the translation direction to the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating unit 22, the two clamping devices 1 respectively clamp the material from both sides to the middle loading point, facilitating the next conveying step.

[0037] In one embodiment, the clamping unit 23 is connected to the rotating unit 22 via a connecting unit 24; the rotating unit 22 includes a rotating cylinder 221, and the clamping unit 23 includes a clamping cylinder 231; the connecting unit 24 includes a first connecting plate 241 disposed at the output end of the rotating cylinder 221, and a second connecting plate 242 connecting the first connecting plate 241 and the clamping cylinder 231.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first connecting plate 241 is provided with a mounting plate end for connecting to the output end of the rotary cylinder 221, and an adjusting plate end for connecting to the second connecting plate 242; the mounting plate end is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grooves arranged along the circumference, and the arc-shaped grooves are adapted to the threaded holes on the output end of the rotary cylinder 221. Thus, by adjusting the relative position of the arc-shaped grooves with respect to the threaded holes, the initial swing position of the first connecting plate 241 relative to the rotary cylinder 221 can be adjusted, and at the same time, by adjusting the rotation stroke of the rotary cylinder 221, the initial position and the end position of the clamping unit 23 can be set, which facilitates debugging and expands the scope of application.

[0039] In one embodiment, the arc angle of the arc groove is in the range of 30° to 60°.

[0040] In one embodiment, the clamping unit 23 further includes a clamping block 232 disposed on the output end of the clamping cylinder 231. The clamping block 232 is a rubber block, silicone block, nylon block, or plastic block. Thus, by having the rubber block, silicone block, nylon block, or plastic block contact the material, damage to the aluminum material caused by impact can be avoided, thus preventing impact on the quality of the finished product.

[0041] In one embodiment, the lifting component 3 includes a lifting motor 31, a lifting transmission unit 32, and a lifting seat 33. The lifting transmission unit 32 includes a first gear 321 disposed at the output end of the lifting motor 31 and a first rack 322 disposed on the lifting seat 33, wherein the first rack 322 is adapted to the first gear 321. Thus, the lifting motor 31 drives the first gear 321 to rotate, and the first gear 321 drives the first rack 322 to reciprocate, thereby realizing the lifting action of the lifting seat 33.

[0042] In one embodiment, the moving component 4 includes a moving motor 41, a moving transmission unit 42, and a moving base 43. The moving transmission unit 42 includes a second gear 421 disposed at the output end of the moving motor 41 and a second rack 422 disposed on the moving base 43, the second rack 422 being adapted to the second gear 421. Thus, the moving motor 41 drives the second gear 421 to rotate, and the second gear 421 drives the second rack 422 to reciprocate, thereby achieving the translational movement of the moving base 43. Simultaneously, the gear and rack meshing is stable and reliable, facilitating high-precision transmission.

[0043] In one embodiment, both the lifting motor 31 and the moving motor 41 are servo motors; the lifting component 3 further includes a lifting slide rail unit 34 for guiding the lifting direction of the lifting seat 33; the moving component 4 further includes a moving slide rail unit 44 for guiding the lifting direction of the moving seat 43. Specifically, the lifting slide rail unit 34 includes a first slide rail and a first slide block, and the moving slide rail unit 44 includes a second slide rail and a second slide block. Thus, by guiding the lifting direction of the lifting seat 33 through the lifting slide rail unit 34 and the moving slide rail unit 44 guiding the lifting direction of the moving seat 43, the stability of the lifting and translating actions is improved.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the gripping robot includes two gripping devices 1 arranged side by side. That is, the gripping robot includes four gripping devices 1. Thus, by arranging the two gripping devices 1 side by side, at least two gripping units 23 are arranged side by side, which can be adapted to materials with large length dimensions, and can improve gripping stability when gripping materials with large length dimensions.

[0045] On the one hand, such as Figure 4 As shown, a material handling device in one embodiment of this utility model includes a material transfer robot 5, a conveyor belt 6, and a material clamping robot 7. The material clamping robot 7 clamps material to the loading position; the material transfer robot 5 moves the material from the loading position to the conveyor belt 6. Thus, by having the material clamping robot 7 clamp material to the loading position and the material transfer robot 5 move the material from the loading position to the conveyor belt 6, the material transfer and loading are achieved.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
