Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of box handling technology, and in particular to a robot arm for handling beer boxes. Background Technology

[0002] A handling robot is a mechanical device used to handle and move items. It can automatically perform repetitive tasks on industrial production lines, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs. Robots are widely used on industrial production lines for tasks such as handling, assembly, welding, spraying, and packaging. In addition, robots can also be applied in fields such as medicine, education, and entertainment to help humans better serve society. In daily operations such as moving beer cases, handling robots are needed to assist in the handling of beer cases.

[0003] However, while existing handling robots can effectively move beer cartons, they often rely on a single-contour clamping plate to hold and fix the cartons. This results in low stability of the sides of the cartons when handling different types of cartons. When handling plastic cartons, the locking and fixing effect of the connecting grooves on the outer wall of the plastic cartons is not good. This can easily lead to a smaller contact area with the surface of the plastic cartons during handling, causing the plastic cartons to fall and posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-4As shown in the figure, a beer carton handling robot includes a robotic arm 1. A flipping assembly 2 is located at the bottom of the robotic arm 1. The flipping assembly 2 includes a clamping plate 17 located at the bottom of the robotic arm 1 and a connecting rod 21 for driving a flipping block 24 to flip and engage along the outer wall of the clamping plate 17. A connecting block 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the robotic arm 1, and a drive servo motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the robotic arm 1. A threaded rod 13, rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 11, is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive servo motor 12. A slider 14, slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 11, is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 13. One end of the slider 14 is fixedly connected to... A connecting box 16 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 11. A clamping plate 17 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting box 16. A connecting rod 21 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate 17. A spring 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 21 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate 17. A pull block 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 23 and fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 21. A flipping block 24 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the clamping plate 17. A placement platform 27 is provided below the clamping plate 17. A paper box 28 located on one side of the clamping plate 17 is placed on the surface of the placement platform 27. A plastic box 29 located on one side of the paper box 28 is placed on the surface of the placement platform 27.

[0026] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, a groove 15 is provided at the connection between the inner side wall of the connecting block 11 and the slider 14. The slider 14 forms a sliding structure with the groove 15 through the threaded rod 13, which is conducive to the rotation of the threaded rod 13 to drive the slider 14 to slide along the inner wall of the groove 15, thereby playing the role of lifting and lowering the connecting box 16.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting groove 25 is provided at the connection between the outer wall of the flipping block 24 and the connecting rod 21, and a slot 26 is provided at the connection between the outer wall of the flipping block 24 and the connecting rod 21. The central axis of the limiting groove 25 and the central axis of the slot 26 are perpendicular to each other. The connecting rod 21 forms a telescopic structure with the clamping plate 17 through the pull block 22 and the spring 23. This facilitates pulling the pull block 22 through the connection of the spring 23, driving the connecting rod 21 to reciprocate and extend along the outer wall of the clamping plate 17, thereby locking and fixing the flipping block 24.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a fixing groove 30 is provided at the connection between the outer wall of the plastic box 29 and the flipping block 24. The flipping block 24 forms a clamping structure with the plastic box 29 through the clamping plate 17 and the fixing groove 30, which facilitates the sliding of the clamping plate 17 through the connection of the fixing groove 30, and drives the flipping block 24 to slide along the inner wall of the fixing groove 30, thereby playing a role in adjusting the stability of the plastic box 29 during handling. Example 2

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment further explains Example 1. A rotary servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting box 16. A gear 31 that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary servo motor 3. A sliding rod 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 16. A swing rod 32 that is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 33 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the gear 31. By setting the swing rod 32, it is beneficial to improve the convenience of limiting the two sides of the paper box 28 of the beer when the robot arm is handling the beer box, improve the handling efficiency, and improve the convenience of adjusting and limiting the paper box 28 of different sizes. The rotary servo motor 3 can be turned on to drive the swing rod 32 to rotate through the rotation of the gear 31. And through the connection of the sliding groove 34, the sliding rod 33 is driven to slide along the inner wall of the connecting groove 35, thereby driving the clamping plate 17 to clamp and fix the paper box 28, which plays the role of facilitating the handling of paper boxes 28 of different sizes.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are two sets of gears 31, which rotate in opposite directions and are meshed with each other. This arrangement of the two sets of gears 31 is beneficial for rotating the two sets of swing rods 32.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rotation center of the swing rod 32 coincides with the rotation center of the gear 31. There are two sets of swing rods 32, and the positions of the two sets of swing rods 32 are symmetrical about the central axis of the connecting box 16. The swing rod 32 forms a rotating structure with the connecting box 16 through the rotation servo motor 3 and the gear 31. This facilitates the driving of the rotation servo motor 3 through the rotation of the gear 31, which drives the swing rod 32 to rotate along the inner wall of the connecting box 16, thus playing the role of sliding the sliding rod 33.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, a sliding groove 34 is provided at the connection between the outer wall of the sliding rod 33 and the swing rod 32, and a connecting groove 35 is provided at the connection between the outer wall of the connecting box 16 and the sliding rod 33. The sliding rod 33 and the clamping plate 17 are fixedly connected, and two sets of clamping plates 17 are provided. The positions of the two sets of clamping plates 17 are symmetrical about the central axis of the paper box 28. One end of the swing rod 32 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 33 via a sliding column. The clamping plate 17 forms a clamping structure with the paper box 28 through the sliding rod 33 and the connecting groove 35. This facilitates the sliding rod 33 to slide along the inner wall of the connecting groove 35, thereby driving the clamping plate 17 to clamp and fix the paper box 28, which facilitates the handling of paper boxes 28 of different sizes.

[0033] In use: First, when the robotic arm is handling different types of beer cases, in order to improve the stability of the clamping plate 17 in clamping and fixing different types of cases, prevent cases from falling during handling, and improve the stability of the flipping block 24 after flipping, the limit groove 25 and the slot 26 are connected to pull the pull block 22, which, under the connection of the spring 23, drives the connecting rod 21 to reciprocate along the outer wall of the flipping block 24, thereby locking and fixing the flipping block 24. Then, through the connection of the fixing groove 30, the flipping block 24 is inserted into the inner wall of the plastic box 29, thereby adjusting the handling stability of the plastic box 29.

[0034] Finally, when the robotic arm moves the beer carton, in order to improve the convenience of limiting the two sides of the paper carton 28, improve the handling efficiency, and improve the convenience of adjusting the limiting of paper cartons 28 of different sizes, the servo motor 3 can be turned on to rotate the swing rod 32 through the rotation of the gear 31. Through the connection of the sliding groove 34, the sliding rod 33 is driven to slide along the inner wall of the connecting groove 35, thereby driving the clamping plate 17 to clamp and fix the paper carton 28, which facilitates the handling of paper cartons 28 of different sizes.
