The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0018] The embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the automated robotic arm for loading automotive and motorcycle parts according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the sliding component of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the connecting component of this utility model.

[0020] This utility model discloses an automatic loading robot for automotive and motorcycle parts, comprising a base 101, a clamping frame 102, a slider 103, a support arm 104, a flat clamping block 105, a cylindrical clamping block 106, a hydraulic cylinder 107, a first pin 108, a second pin 109, a connecting rod 110, a sliding sleeve 111, a sliding rod 112, a first rubber pad 113, and a second rubber pad 114. It solves the problem that existing clamps cannot be adjusted to accommodate the diverse shapes of automotive and motorcycle parts, resulting in unstable gripping and poor adaptability. It is understood that the aforementioned solution can also be used to improve convenience.

[0021] In this embodiment, the base 101 is a prior art, equivalent to the translation seat in an automated online loading and unloading robot hand in prior art CN221270462U. The clamping assembly is installed on the base 101, thereby solving the problem that due to the wide variety of automotive and motorcycle parts with different shapes, such as square and round, the existing clamps cannot be adjusted according to the shape of the parts, making it difficult to achieve stable gripping and resulting in poor adaptability.

[0022] The clamping frame 102 is connected to the base 101 via the sliding member. The sliding member is mounted on the base 101 and drives the clamping frame 102 to move. The planar clamping block 105 is slidably connected to the clamping frame 102 and is located on one side of the clamping frame 102. The hydraulic cylinder 107 is fixedly connected to the clamping frame 102 and is located on the side of the clamping frame 102 away from the planar clamping block 105. The columnar clamping block 106 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 107. The connecting member connects the planar clamping frame 102 to the base 101. The clamping block 105 and the column clamping block 106 are connected. Two U-shaped clamping frames 102 are connected to the base 101 via two sets of sliding members. The two clamping frames 102 are symmetrically arranged. The sliding members allow both clamping frames 102 to slide on the base 101. T-shaped grooves are provided at both ends of each clamping frame 102. The planar clamping block 105 has matching protrusions, and the planar clamping block 105 is slidably connected to the clamping frame 102 via these protrusions. One clamping frame... Two planar clamping blocks 105 are provided on the clamping frame 102. These planar clamping blocks 105 can clamp flat automotive and motorcycle parts. The hydraulic cylinder 107 is fixed to the clamping frame 102 by bolts. The cylindrical clamping block 106 is provided with a triangular groove and is disposed within the clamping frame 102. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 107 extends into the clamping frame 102 and is fixedly connected to the cylindrical clamping block 106. The cylindrical clamping block 106 can clamp cylindrical automotive and motorcycle parts. The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 107 can move the cylindrical part... The clamping block 106 moves, and the connecting component plays a linkage role, so that while the cylindrical clamping block 106 moves, it drives the two planar clamping blocks 105 to move synchronously, thereby realizing the switching of clamping modes. By setting the planar clamping block 105 and the cylindrical clamping block 106, it is possible to freely switch between clamping modes for flat objects and cylindrical objects, which solves the problem that due to the wide variety of automotive and motorcycle parts with square and round shapes, existing clamps cannot be adjusted according to the shape of the parts, making it difficult to achieve stable gripping and having poor adaptability.

[0023] Secondly, the slider 103 is slidably connected to the base 101 and is located on the side of the base 101 near the clamping frame 102; the support arm 104 is fixedly connected to the slider 103 and the clamping frame 102. The base 101 has a sliding groove along its length. The slider 103 is slidably mounted on the base 101 through the sliding groove. One end of the support arm 104 is fixedly connected to the slider 103, and the other end is connected to the clamping frame 102 by bolts, so that the clamping frame 102 can move with the movement of the slider 103. The base 101 is also provided with a bidirectional screw drive mechanism, which can drive the two sliders 103 to move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby driving the two clamping frames 102 to move closer to each other to clamp the object. Through the slider 103 and the support, the clamping frame 102 can move.

[0024] Meanwhile, the first pin 108 is fixedly connected to the column clamping block 106 and located on one side of the column clamping block 106; the second pin 109 is fixedly connected to the planar clamping block 105 and located on one side of the planar clamping block 105; the two ends of the connecting rod 110 are rotatably connected to the first pin 108 and the second pin 109 respectively. Two first pins 108 are vertically installed on the top of the column clamping block 106, and two second pins 109 are also present. The connecting rod 110 is located on top of the two planar clamping blocks 105. There are two connecting rods 110, and their two ends are connected to the first pin 108 and the second pin 109 respectively through bearings. The two connecting rods 110 are arranged in a V-shape. When the column clamping block 106 moves into the clamping frame 102, the two planar clamping blocks 105 move closer together. When the column clamping block 106 moves out of the clamping frame 102, the two planar clamping blocks 105 separate. Through the connecting member, linkage can be achieved.

[0025] In addition, the sliding sleeve 111 is fixedly connected to the clamping frame 102 and is located on the side of the clamping frame 102 near the column clamping block 106; the sliding rod 112 is slidably connected to the sliding sleeve 111 and fixedly connected to the column clamping block 106. The sliding sleeve 111 passes through the clamping frame 102, and there are two of them, located on both sides of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 107. There are two sliding rods 112, which pass through the two sliding sleeves 111 and are connected to the column clamping block 106. Through the sliding sleeve 111 and the sliding rod 112, the movement of the column clamping block 106 can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the column clamping block 106.

[0026] Finally, the first rubber pad 113 is disposed on the flat clamping block 105; the second rubber pad 114 is disposed on the cylindrical clamping block 106. Through the first rubber pad 113 and the second rubber pad 114, the flat clamping block 105 and the cylindrical clamping block 106 can be prevented from making hard contact with the accessory, thus preventing scratches, indentations and other damage to the surface of the accessory during clamping, while increasing friction and improving clamping stability.

[0027] In this embodiment, when a flat object needs to be clamped, the hydraulic cylinder 107 is controlled to retract, causing the cylindrical clamping block 106 to move into the clamping frame 102. Under the action of the connecting rod 110, the two planar clamping blocks 105 will close together. Then, the bidirectional screw drive mechanism is controlled to move, driving the two sliders 103 to move closer synchronously, thus clamping the flat object. When a cylindrical object needs to be clamped, the hydraulic cylinder 107 is controlled to extend, causing the cylindrical clamping block 106 to move out of the clamping frame 102. Under the action of the connecting rod 110, the two planar clamping blocks 105 will separate. Then, the bidirectional screw drive mechanism is controlled to move, driving the two sliders 103 to move closer synchronously, thus clamping the cylindrical clamping block 106. This application, by setting the planar clamping block 105 and the cylindrical clamping block 106, enables free switching between clamping modes for flat and cylindrical objects. This solves the problem that existing clamps cannot be adjusted according to the shape of the parts due to the wide variety of automotive and motorcycle parts with square and round shapes, resulting in poor adaptability and difficulty in achieving stable gripping.

[0028] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
