Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of palletizing robot technology, and in particular relates to a palletizing robot for electrical automation. Background Technology

[0002] Palletizing robots are widely used equipment in the field of industrial automation. They are mainly used to move items from one place to another and palletize them in a predetermined manner. Palletizing robots are also usually needed to move food items after they are packaged.

[0003] Chinese patent disclosure for a palletizing robot, publication number CN222273469U, includes a top support base, bottom support bases on both sides of the top support base, a first lifting member for raising and lowering the top support base, each bottom support base being connected to the top support base via the first lifting member, a second lifting member disposed on the top support base, the lifting end of the second lifting member extending downward beyond the top support base, and a first mounting seat fixed to the lifting end of the second lifting member, the first mounting seat having friction. This invention provides a palletizing robot that, when clamping materials, controls the first and second lifting members via a control box to raise and lower the top support base. The gripping component moves to the position of the material to be clamped. Then, the control box controls the gripping component to clamp the material. After clamping, the first and second lifting components are further controlled to adjust the height of the material, and the bottom support base is moved horizontally to the position to be stacked. After moving to the position to be stacked, the control box controls the first motor to drive the rotating component. When the rotating component rotates, friction is generated between it and the friction component. The friction generated drives the second mounting base to rotate, thereby changing the stacking angle of the material. When the stacking angle is adjusted to a suitable angle, the first and second lifting components are further controlled to complete the stacking work. This realizes the ability to adjust the material placement angle according to the placement position of the material during the stacking process.

[0004] Based on the technical effects of the existing technologies and solutions, there are still areas that need optimization: when handling packaging boxes, the support portion of the palletizing robot cannot be extended, which can easily lead to collisions when encountering large packaging boxes or clamping them at different angles, thus reducing the handling efficiency of the palletizing robot.

[0028] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a palletizing robot for electrical automation, including a support plate 1, a power distribution box 2 on the top of the support plate 1, an electric rod 3 on the top of the support plate 1, a plurality of telescopic rods 4 on the outer side of the electric rod 3, a fixed plate 5 that is connected to the bottom of the support plate 1 through the bottom of the plurality of telescopic rods 4 and the electric rod 3, and a rotating component 6 on the bottom of the fixed plate 5.

[0030] The bottom of the support plate 1 is provided with a telescopic column 7, the bottom of the telescopic column 7 is provided with a base plate 8, both ends of the bottom of the base plate 8 are provided with pulleys 9, and the top of the telescopic column 7 is provided with an adjustment component 10.

[0031] A first motor 11 is provided at both ends of the top of the support plate 1. The output end of the first motor 11 is connected to an output rod 12, and the bottom of the output rod 12 extends through to the bottom of the support plate 1.

The surfaces of the extension groove 103 and the travel groove 102 are slidably connected to a sliding block 104. The bottom of the sliding block 104 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic column 7.

[0035] The above solution allows the robot to be precisely adjusted according to actual needs by adjusting the design of component 10, thereby improving the robot's adaptability and flexibility. By sliding the sliding block 104 in the stroke groove 102 and extension groove 103, stable support and precise adjustment of the telescopic column 7 are achieved.

[0037] The above solution is adopted: the design of the clamping component 13 enables the robot to clamp objects more firmly, avoiding the objects from slipping or being damaged during the clamping process. The use of the electric push rod 135 enables precise control of the clamping rod 134, thereby enabling more accurate clamping and release of objects.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 , 5 The bottom of the fixed plate 5 is provided with an annular groove 14, and several annular posts 15 are slidably connected to the surface of the annular groove 14. The bottom of the several annular posts 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate 62.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 A clamping block 16 is provided on one side of the clamping rod 134, and an anti-slip pad 17 is provided on one side of the clamping block 16.

[0041] By adopting the above solution, the clamping force of the clamping rod 134 on the object is enhanced by the design of the clamping block 16 and the anti-slip pad 17, and the object is prevented from sliding or being damaged during the clamping process, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the palletizing robot.

[0042] refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the output rod 12 is connected to a first bevel gear 18. The surfaces of the first bevel gear 18 are meshed with two second bevel gears 19. The opposite sides of the two second bevel gears 19 are provided with screws 20.

[0043] By adopting the above scheme, the screw 20 is precisely controlled through the meshing of the first bevel gear 18 and the second bevel gear 19, thereby enabling more accurate adjustment of the position of the sliding block 104 and the telescopic column 7, and improving the accuracy and stability of the palletizing robot.

[0044] refer to Figure 4 The screw 20 has a support block 21 on its surface, and the top of the support block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1.

[0045] The above solution provides a stable support point for the screw 20 through the design of the support block 21, preventing the screw 20 from shaking or being damaged during rotation, and improving the overall structural stability and service life of the palletizing robot.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model:

[0047] When using this palletizing robot;

[0048] Based on the height and position of the object to be grasped, the first motor 11 drives the output rod 12 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 18 and the second bevel gear 19, the screw 20 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the sliding block 104 to slide within the travel groove 102 and extension groove 103 of the travel plate 101. This achieves precise height adjustment of the telescopic column 7, enabling the robot's gripping assembly 13 to accurately reach above the object. The second motor 61 in the rotating assembly 6 at the bottom of the fixed disk 5 is then activated, driving the gripping plate 62 to rotate, allowing the gripping assembly 13 to align with the object's grasping position. Simultaneously, the annular groove 14 and the annular column 15... The coordinated action ensures the stability and flexibility of the clamping plate 62 during rotation and tilting, further improving the accuracy of positioning. The electric push rod 135 pushes the moving rod 132 to slide in the moving groove 131, thereby driving the clamping rod 134 to move in the clamping groove 133, so that the clamping block 16 clamps the object. The anti-slip pad 17 enhances the clamping force, ensuring that the object will not slip or be damaged during the grasping process. Then, through the coordinated work of the electric rod 3 and the telescopic rod 4, the object is smoothly lifted by the fixed plate 5, making it leave its original position. During the lifting process, the coordinated action of each component ensures the stability and safety of the object.

[0049] The pulleys 9 at the bottom of the base plate 8 allow the robot to move as a whole. After reaching the stacking position according to the preset path and target stacking position, the robot's height is adjusted again by the adjustment component 10 so that the object can be accurately placed in the predetermined stacking position. Then the electric push rod 135 moves in the opposite direction to release the clamping block 16 and place the object in the stacking position. The robot repeats the above-mentioned grasping, handling and stacking process to place subsequent objects in the designated positions until the entire stacking task is completed.

[0050] It should be noted that the threads on the surface of screw 20 are arranged in opposite directions.

[0051] In summary, this palletizing robot for electrical automation solves the problem that existing palletizing robots often lack sufficient flexibility when facing palletizing needs in different directions. The design of this palletizing robot allows the gripper to rotate through the design of the rotating component, thus more flexibly responding to palletizing needs in different directions. This not only improves the stability and accuracy of gripping objects, but also ensures the safety and efficiency of the palletizing process.
