[0028] Term explanation:
[0029] End effector: a mounting disc mounted on a robot, used for grabbing and carrying stamping parts.
[0030] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the present embodiment proposes an end effector mistake-proof detection device, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , which comprises a detection assembly 5 and a mounting assembly; the detection assembly 5 comprises a fixing frame and a sensor 54 (as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 ), and the sensor 54 has a plurality of sensors 54, each of which is mounted on the fixing frame. As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the mounting assembly includes a column 2 and a mounting plate 3, the column 2 is arranged on the opposite side of the fixed frame, the mounting plate 3 is hung on the column 2, and the end pickers 1 are mounted on the mounting plate 3. Each end picker 1 is mounted with a sensing proton 6 (only one sensing proton 6 is shown in the figure), and the position of the sensing proton 6 is aligned with the position of the sensor 54. Figure 4
[0031] The sensor 54 and the sensing proton 6 are both purchased components. The sensor 54 converts a physical signal into an electrical signal. In this embodiment, the sensor 54 can be a photoelectric sensor 54, which can detect the presence of the sensing proton 6 and convert it into an electrical signal. The photoelectric sensor 54 generally includes a light source and a photosensitive element, the light beam emitted by the light source is irradiated on the sensing proton 6 and then reflected back to the photosensitive element. When the sensing proton 6 is detected, the photosensitive element will generate an electrical signal, which is then sent to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for processing. The sensing proton 6 is a small reflector or marker mounted on the end picker 1, which can reflect the light emitted by the sensor 54. The function of the sensing proton 6 is to provide a clear signal point so that the sensor 54 can accurately detect the position and state of the end picker 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the detection assembly 5 has two groups, each group of detection assembly 5 has two sensors 54, i.e. a total of four sensors 54. For example, when there are three end pickers 1 mounted on the mounting plate 3, there are three sensing protons 6, the number of sensing protons 6 is three, and the positions of the three sensing protons 6 are obtained through the detection of the sensors 54, so as to determine whether the installation is correct.
[0033] After replacing the end picker 1, the mounting plate 3 on which the end picker 1 has been mounted is first mounted on the column 2. Since each end picker 1 is mounted with a sensing proton 6, the sensors 54 on the fixed frame can detect the number and position of the sensing protons 6 at this time, and check with the end picker 1 that needs to be matched with the new part. If they are consistent, the installation is correct and the equipment can continue to be used. If they are not consistent, the installation is incorrect and the end picker 1 needs to be replaced. Through the end picker error-proof detection device, the occurrence of safety accidents is greatly reduced, and the safety and stability of the equipment are improved.

[0036] The column 2 is provided with a support block 22, the support block 22 is located on the side of the column 2 facing the fixed frame, the bottom of the mounting disc 3 is provided with a mounting seat 32, and the mounting seat 32 is mounted on the support block 22. Through the cooperation of the support block 22 and the mounting seat 32, the stability of the mounting disc 3 is increased.
[0037] Specifically, the upper end of the support block 22 has an upwardly protruding V-shaped protrusion, and the lower end of the mounting seat 32 has a V-shaped groove matched with the V-shaped protrusion; or the upper end of the support block 22 is provided with a downwardly recessed V-shaped groove, and the lower end of the mounting seat 32 has a V-shaped protrusion matched with the V-shaped groove. Through the cooperation of the V-shaped protrusion and the V-shaped groove, the positioning accuracy of the mounting disc 3 is improved, the installation of the mounting disc 3 on the column 2 is more stable, and the installation and disassembly process is also facilitated.
[0038] The end picker 1 is installed on the left and right sides of the mounting disc 3, the end picker 1 is installed with the sensing proton 6 close to the mounting disc 3, the sensor 54 can effectively detect the sensing proton 6, so as to realize accurate identification and error-proof detection of the end picker 1.
[0039] The detection assembly 5 is installed on the protective net 4, and the column 2 is located on the opposite side of the protective net 4. The detection assembly 5 is installed and fixed by means of the existing protective net 4, the fixed base is reduced, and the cost is reduced.
[0040] The fixed frame comprises a fixed plate 51, a first support 52 and a second support 53, the fixed plate 51 is fixedly installed on the protective net 4, the first support 52 is installed on the fixed plate 51, the second support 53 is installed on the first support 52, and the sensor 54 is installed on the second support 53. Through the installation and fixation of the sensor 54 by the first support 52 and the second support 53, the position of the sensor 54 can be flexibly adjusted.
[0041] Specifically, the first support 52 has a first long slot arranged in the vertical direction, and a screw is installed on the fixed plate 51 through the first long slot, the second support 53 has a second long slot arranged in the horizontal direction, and a screw is installed on the first support 52 through the second long slot. The long slots on the first support 52 and the second support 53 allow the screws to move therein, so as to adjust the position of the sensor 54.
[0042] When installing for the first time, first hang the mounting disc 3 on the column 2, install the male plug of the end effector 1 on the female seat of the mounting disc 3, ensure that the optical axis of the sensor 54 can irradiate the sensing proton 6 area on the male plug of the end effector 1, if not, adjust the first support 52 up and down or the second support 53 left and right, to ensure that the sensing proton 6 area can be irradiated.
[0043] According to the number of end effectors 1 of each part, install the sensing proton 6, the sensor 54 at each position detects whether there is a sensing proton 6 and sends all collected data to the PLC, the PLC converts and processes all data and compares whether the data is consistent with the data set in the parameter library, if consistent, it is considered that the end effector 1 is correct and is allowed to be replaced.
[0044] After pressing the detection button, the system starts to identify the end effector 1 ID "D1" and converts it to decimal, and compares it with the ID "D2" saved in the production parameter library. For example, the end effector 1 of product No. 76 reads D1: 01001100, which is converted to decimal 76 and compared with D2 of the formula, if D1=D2, the end effector is correct.
[0045] Although the specific embodiments of the utility model have been described above with reference to the drawings, it is not a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model, and those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or deformations made by the skilled in the art on the basis of the technical scheme of the utility model without creative labor are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
