Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a four -axis mechanical hand carries and takes mechanism of band. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production and packaging process of electronic components, precision parts and other products, as the key carrier of carrying and transporting these products, the efficiency and accuracy of the packaging link of the carrier tape are crucial. The traditional carrier tape suction method mostly relies on simple mechanical structure or manual operation, and has many insurmountable drawbacks.

[0003] On the one hand, in terms of suction efficiency, the traditional equipment is usually equipped with only a single or a small number of suction devices, which can only handle a limited number of carrier tapes at a time, which has become a serious efficiency bottleneck on large-scale production lines. With the continuous expansion of production scale and the increasingly stringent requirements of the market on product delivery speed, this inefficient suction method has been unable to meet the production needs of enterprises, resulting in prolonged production cycle and increased production cost.

[0004] On the other hand, the traditional carrier tape suction equipment lacks effective means to maintain the cleanliness of the suction head. In the production environment, dust, debris and other impurities are easily attached to the suction head. With the passage of time, the dirt on the surface of the suction head will continue to accumulate, thereby significantly reducing the reliability of the suction. The instability of the suction effect not only causes frequent suction failures, resulting in the omission or misplacement of products in the packaging process, but also increases the workload of subsequent detection and adjustment, further affecting the continuity of production and the consistency of product quality.

[0005] At the same time, in the process of adsorbing the carrier tape, the traditional equipment is difficult to accurately control the adsorption pressure. Excessive pressure will cause irreversible extrusion deformation of the carrier tape, causing damage to the precision products carried, and reducing the yield of the products; while the small pressure may not be able to ensure that the carrier tape is firmly adsorbed, causing the risk of carrier tape falling off during transportation, which will also interfere with the normal order of production.

[0006] In addition, the traditional carrier tape suction device is extremely limited in the adjustment of the adsorption direction, and is difficult to flexibly cope with the placement of the carrier tape at different positions and angles. In a complex production layout, this limitation makes the equipment unable to meet the diversified carrier tape packaging tasks, and cannot realize efficient suction operation in all directions and at multiple angles, greatly limiting the applicability of the equipment and the flexibility of production.

[0007] Therefore, a four-axis mechanical hand carrier tape suction mechanism is proposed. Utility model content

[0008] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a four-axis manipulator carrying and suction mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a four-axis robotic arm carrier suction mechanism, comprising a four-axis robotic arm body mounted on the carrier packaging equipment body, a base mounted at the bottom end of the four-axis robotic arm body, and a cleaning component mounted on one side of the top end of the base;

[0010] The four-axis manipulator body includes a first rotary motor, a first rotary arm, a second rotary motor, a second rotary arm, a ball screw, a base frame, and a vacuum gripper. The first rotary motor is mounted on the base, and the first rotary arm is mounted on the output end of the first rotary motor. The second rotary motor is installed inside one end of the first rotary arm, and the second rotary arm is mounted on the output end of the second rotary motor. A ball screw is mounted on one end of the second rotary arm, and the ball screw is connected to the base frame via a coupling. The vacuum gripper is mounted on the base frame.

[0011] Preferably, a fixing plate is installed at the bottom end of the base frame, and slide rails are installed on both sides of the fixing plate.

[0012] Preferably, the vacuum suction gripper includes a telescopic cylinder, a lifting plate, a vacuum suction head, a cylinder telescopic rod, and a drag block. The telescopic cylinder is mounted on the base frame, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the cylinder telescopic rod. The end of the cylinder telescopic rod is connected to the lifting plate through the drag block. The lifting plate is slidably connected to the slide rail, and a vacuum suction head is installed at the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the lifting plate is provided with an installation groove, and a spring is installed in the installation groove, with the top of the spring in contact with the bottom surface of the drag block.

[0014] Preferably, the base frame is equipped with five sets of vacuum grippers, and the corresponding fixed plate has two slide rails on one side and three slide rails on the other side.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The base frame is equipped with five sets of vacuum grippers, which can complete the suction of all five sets each time the air carrier is suctioned, greatly improving work efficiency compared with traditional equipment.

[0017] 2. A cleaning component installed on one side of the top of the base can blow away dust from the vacuum gripper, keeping the surface of the vacuum gripper clean, ensuring stable and reliable adsorption effect, and reducing poor adsorption problems caused by dust accumulation.

[0018] 3. A spring is installed at the top of the lifting plate that uses vacuum suction. When the carrier belt is pressed down, the spring allows the lifting plate to have a flexible upward space, effectively buffering the pressure on the carrier belt, preventing the carrier belt from being squeezed and deformed, and improving product quality.

[0019] 4. Through the coordinated action of the first rotary motor, the second rotary motor, and the ball screw, the vacuum gripper can rotate and lift, making it easy to adjust the adsorption direction and achieve precise picking up and putting down of the carrier belt within the swing range of the robot arm, adapting to the carrier belt operation needs of different positions and angles.
