Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding equipment, specifically relating to a gripper adjustment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Material loading is often involved in production processes such as remote control assembly. Using a gripper mechanism for material loading can enable the rapid and accurate grasping and handling of materials.

[0003] In related technologies, the gripper mechanism includes a transmission plate with multiple grippers for tightening or releasing materials. These grippers can simultaneously feed multiple materials to ensure production efficiency, or they can cooperate to grasp larger materials. The transmission plate is connected to a drive unit that moves the grippers to the assembly station. After the grippers grasp the material, the drive unit moves them to the assembly station, thus automating the material loading process.

[0004] However, when the assembly station changes due to the replacement of assembly equipment, or when feeding materials of different specifications, the gripper mechanism is difficult to adjust accordingly, which is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

The gripper can be adjusted in position in the Y-axis direction through a first adjustment structure and in position in the X-axis direction through a second adjustment structure. The gripper position adjustment is flexible, which helps to improve the convenience of use.

[0006] The technical effects to be achieved by this utility model are realized through the following technical aspects:

[0007] This utility model provides a gripper adjustment mechanism, including a mounting plate for mounting grippers; an adjustment seat with a first adjustment structure disposed between it and the mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate is adjusted relative to the adjustment seat along the Y-axis direction via the first adjustment structure, the first adjustment structure including a magnetic suction element, wherein the mounting plate is attracted to the adjustment seat via the magnetic suction element; and a transition plate with a second adjustment structure disposed between it and the adjustment seat, wherein the adjustment seat is adjusted relative to the transition plate along the X-axis direction via the second adjustment structure.

[0008] In some implementations, the mounting plate has a receiving groove, and the magnetic suction element is disposed in the receiving groove.

[0009] In some implementations, the first adjustment structure includes a first mounting hole formed on the mounting plate, wherein multiple first mounting holes are provided and distributed along the Y-axis; and a first connector passing through the adjustment seat, wherein the adjustment seat is connected to the mounting plate at the first mounting hole via the first connector.

[0010] In some implementations, a gasket is provided on the adjusting seat, and the first connecting member passes through the gasket and the adjusting seat in sequence.

[0011] In some implementations, the adjusting seat has a limiting groove, the gasket moves and adjusts within the limiting groove along the Y-axis, and the inner wall of the limiting groove has an installation opening, the first connector passes through the installation opening and connects the gasket and the mounting plate.

[0012] In some implementations, the gasket has a fine-tuning hole, and the first connector moves and adjusts along the X-axis within the fine-tuning hole.

[0013] In some implementations, the second adjustment structure includes a first adjustment hole formed on the adapter plate, wherein the adjustment seat is positioned at the first adjustment hole along the X-axis; and a second connector passing through the first adjustment hole, wherein the second connector connects the adapter plate and the adjustment seat.

[0014] In some implementations, multiple first adjustment holes are provided, and the multiple first adjustment holes are distributed at intervals along the Y-axis direction.

[0015] In some implementations, a transmission plate is provided on one side of the adapter plate, and the transmission plate has a plurality of second mounting holes distributed along the Y-axis.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0018] The gripper adjustment mechanism provided by this utility model allows the mounting plate to be adjusted relative to the adjustment seat along the Y-axis. When the mounting plate is adjusted to the appropriate position, it is attracted to the adjustment seat via an adsorption component, thus achieving positioning. The adjustment seat, through a second adjustment structure, can be adjusted relative to the adapter plate along the X-axis. The adjustable relationship between the mounting plate and the adjustment seat, and between the adjustment seat and the adapter plate, allows the gripper to be adjusted along both the Y-axis and X-axis.

By inserting the second connector 412 into different first adjustment holes 411, the adjusting seat 2 can be adjusted along the X-axis direction while simultaneously adjusting along the Y-axis direction.

[0043] When adjusting the first adjustment structure 3, loosen the first connecting piece 33, move the mounting plate 1 along the Y-axis to the desired adjustment position, and the magnetic suction piece 31 will attract the adjustment seat 2, thus initially fixing the mounting plate 1. Correspondingly, move the shim 34 within the limiting groove 21. The shim 34 will drive the first connecting piece 33 to move to the corresponding first assembly hole 32. The first connecting piece 33 will connect the shim 34 and the mounting plate 1 at the assembly hole, thus adjusting and fixing the mounting plate 1. The operation is convenient. Then, loosen the second connecting piece 412, and move the adjustment seat 2 along the X-axis for adjustment. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the second connecting piece 412 will connect the adjustment seat 2 and the adapter plate 4.
