Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material absorption, and more specifically, to a material absorption mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional material handling technology, a robotic arm typically completes the operation by moving materials from point A to point B using three steps: X-axis movement, Z-axis movement, and tilting of the robotic arm. This method has several significant drawbacks:

[0003] Defect 1. Complex action steps: It requires the coordination of multiple action steps, which increases the complexity of mechanical actions and makes the operation process cumbersome.

[0004] Defect 2. Reduced capacity: Too many steps make the entire handling process time-consuming, reducing production efficiency and thus affecting capacity.

[0005] Defect 3. Reduced reliability: The complex mechanical structure and operation steps increase the probability of failure, which greatly reduces the reliability of the robot.

[0006] Defect 4. Low space utilization: Traditional robotic arms are often quite large, which greatly limits their application in situations with limited space, resulting in low space utilization.

[0007] Defect 5. High cost: The complex structure and multiple operation steps require more parts and a sophisticated control system, which undoubtedly increases manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0008] In summary, traditional material handling robots have many shortcomings in terms of motion steps, capacity, reliability, space utilization, and cost, failing to meet the requirements of modern production for high efficiency, stability, flexibility, and low cost. Therefore, developing a novel material-grabbing mechanism to overcome these difficulties is particularly important. Thus, we propose an improved material-grabbing mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely illustrates some embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0034] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-7A material suction mechanism includes a mounting base plate 1, a guide rail slider 2 mounted on the rear side of the mounting base plate 1, the guide rail slider 2 being slidably connected to a guide rail 4, the lower end of the guide rail 4 being connected to a swing arm 3, and the swing arm 3 being connected to a servo motor 13 via a rotating shaft. A slider mounting plate 6 is provided between the guide rail slider 2 and the mounting base plate 1, and the slider mounting plate 6 is connected to a rotary bearing 5 via a slider mounting plate rotating shaft 7, the rotary bearing 5 being embedded inside the mounting base plate 1. It also includes a rubber suction cup 8, which is connected to a suction cup mounting rod 9, and the suction cup mounting rod 9 is connected to a suction cup sliding frame 11. A rotary joint bearing 10 is provided at the lower part of the suction cup sliding frame 11, and the rotary joint bearing 10 is connected to the swing arm 3. The upper part of the suction cup sliding frame 11 is slidably connected to the guide rail 4. A zeroing sensor 12 is provided on the inner side of the swing arm 3, and the zeroing sensor 12 is fixed to the side of the mounting base plate 1.

[0035] The 50° angle between the rubber suction cup 8 and the suction cup mounting rod 9 and the horizontal plane is the material picking point for product 14. The material releasing point is when the swing rod 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane and its position coincides with the zeroing sensor 12.

[0036] The working principle of the material-collecting mechanism is as follows: First, the motor returns to zero. At this time, the swing arm 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the position of the swing arm 3 coincides with the zero-reset induction plate 12. This position is the material feeding point. When material needs to be collected, the motor rotation parameters are set, and the motor drives the swing arm 3 along the rotation shaft. Figure 5 Rotate in the direction of the arrow. During rotation, a negative pressure vacuum is generated in the rubber suction cup 8 through the solenoid valve and air pipe, thereby sucking up the product 14. At this time, the rubber suction cup 8 and the suction cup mounting rod 9 form a 50° angle with the horizontal plane, which is the picking point of the product 14.

[0037] After picking up product 14, the motor drives the swing arm 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, returning to the unloading point, completing the handling of product 14. Throughout the process, the guide rail slider 2 slides on the guide rail 4, providing guidance for the movement of the suction cup sliding frame 11. The upper part of the suction cup sliding frame 11 is slidably connected to the guide rail 4, and the lower part of the rotary joint bearing 10 is connected to the swing arm 3, allowing the suction cup sliding frame 11 to move with the movement of the swing arm 3. At the same time, the slider mounting plate 6 is connected to the rotary bearing 5 through the slider mounting plate rotation shaft 7. The rotary bearing 5 is embedded inside the mounting base plate 1, ensuring the connection and relative movement between the guide rail slider 2 and the mounting base plate 1.

[0038] This material-lifting mechanism achieves the lifting and movement of product 14 through the movement of a single motor. It has the advantages of small size, multiple actions can be completed with a single motor, high speed can improve production efficiency, simple structure and stable and reliable operation. It is suitable for the handling and transfer motion control of light-load materials in automated equipment and can meet production needs at high speed in the case of limited space.

[0039] The working process of the material feeding mechanism is as follows: 1. Initial state: The motor returns to zero. At this time, the swing arm 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the position of the swing arm 3 coincides with the zeroing induction plate 12. This position is the material feeding point.

[0040] 2. Pick up product 14: Set the motor rotation parameters; the motor drives the swing arm 3 along the rotation shaft. Figure 5 Rotate in the direction of the arrow.

[0041] As the swing arm 3 rotates, the suction cup sliding frame 11 moves along with it through the lower rotary joint bearing 10. At the same time, the upper part of the suction cup sliding frame 11 slides on the guide rail 4, so that the rubber suction cup 8 and the suction cup mounting rod 9 form a 50° angle with the horizontal plane and reach the product 14 picking point.

[0042] At this time, the rubber suction cup 8 is made to generate a negative pressure vacuum through the solenoid valve and air pipe, thereby sucking up the product 14.

[0043] 3. Transporting product 14: The motor drives the swing arm 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the suction cup sliding frame 11 moves accordingly, transporting the sucked product 14 to the discharge point.

[0044] 4. Placement of product 14: After reaching the discharge point, close the solenoid valve, the negative pressure in the air pipe disappears, the rubber suction cup 8 releases product 14, and the transportation process of product 14 is completed.

[0045] Throughout the entire workflow, the material-absorbing mechanism uses the movement of a single motor to lift, move, and place product 14. It has advantages such as small size, easy operation, high efficiency, and stable operation, and can meet the needs of automated equipment for handling and transferring light-load materials.

[0046] Example 2: Material Picking Mechanism. On an automated production line, it is necessary to move lightly loaded materials from one location to another. We used the material picking mechanism described above to accomplish this task.

[0047] First, fix the mounting base plate 1 in a suitable position to ensure the stability of the entire mechanism. The servo motor 13 is connected to the rocker arm 3 via a rotating shaft, providing power for the movement of the mechanism.

[0048] When material needs to be picked up, the servo motor 13 starts, driving the swing arm 3 to rotate. The movement of the swing arm 3 is transmitted to the suction cup slide frame 11 through the rotary joint bearing 10, causing the suction cup slide frame 11 to slide along the guide rail 4. When the rubber suction cup 8 and the suction cup mounting rod 9 form a 50° angle with the horizontal plane, they reach the picking point of the product 14.

[0049] At this point, the air pipe is controlled by the solenoid valve, creating a negative pressure vacuum in the rubber suction cup 8, which firmly picks up the material. Then, the servo motor 13 reverses, driving the swing arm 3 back to a position parallel to the horizontal plane, i.e., the discharge point. At the discharge point, the solenoid valve is closed, the negative pressure in the air pipe disappears, and the rubber suction cup 8 releases the material, completing one handling process.

[0050] In this embodiment, the material-feeding mechanism fully leverages its advantages. The use of a single motor simplifies the structure, reduces costs, and improves operational stability and reliability. Simultaneously, its compact size allows for flexible application on space-constrained production lines, maximizing space utilization. Its high-speed material handling capability also significantly enhances production efficiency, meeting the demands of automated production lines.

[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
