Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0018] A robotic arm device for gripping glass includes a gripping base plate 1. A second sliding channel 12 is provided on the side of the gripping base plate 1. A horizontal fixing plate 16 is provided on the rear side of the gripping base plate 1 at both ends of the second sliding channel 12. A bidirectional lead screw 18 is installed between the two horizontal fixing plates 16. A second sliding block 17 is slidably connected to the second sliding channel 12 at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 18. A position adjustment plate 4 is connected to the end of the second sliding block 17. A suction cup position adjustment seat 7 is provided at the middle position of the front side of the position adjustment plate 4. A second hydraulic cylinder 11 is provided on the upper and lower sides of the suction cup position adjustment seat 7. A vacuum suction cup mounting seat 5 is connected to the end of the second hydraulic cylinder 11. A vacuum suction cup 10 is installed on the front side of the vacuum suction cup mounting seat 5. A drive motor 19 is installed on the side of one of the horizontal fixing plates 16. A glass clamping assembly is provided on the side of the gripping base plate 1. An installation assembly is provided on the upper part of the rear side of the gripping base plate 1.
[0019] The side of the position adjustment plate 4 is provided with multiple first sliding channels 2, and a first sliding block 8 connected to the vacuum suction cup mounting base 5 is slidably connected in the first sliding channel 2.
[0020] The glass clamping assembly includes first mounting support bases 15 located at the upper and lower ends of the front side of the gripping base plate 1. Each of the two first mounting support bases 15 is equipped with a first hydraulic cylinder 6. The movable end of the first hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to a glass clamping block 3. Each of the two glass clamping blocks 3 is provided with a clamping and fixing groove 9.
[0021] The mounting assembly includes a second mounting support 20 connected to the upper rear side of the gripping base plate 1. The upper surface of the second mounting support 20 is provided with a mounting rod 14, and the upper part of the mounting rod 14 is provided with a mounting hole 13.
[0022] Vacuum suction cup 10 is a vacuum electric glass suction cup.
[0023] The threads at both ends of the double-ended lead screw 18 are set in opposite directions.
[0024] When handling glass of different sizes, the position of the vacuum suction cup 10 can be adjusted to handle different sizes of glass. The drive motor 19 drives the bidirectional lead screw 18 to rotate, thereby causing the second sliding blocks 17 on both sides to move closer or further apart along the second sliding channel 12. This causes the multiple vacuum suction cups 10 connected to the two second sliding blocks 17 to move closer or further apart to accommodate different sizes of glass. The vertical distance between the two vacuum suction cups 10 on the same side is adjusted by the second hydraulic cylinders 11 on the upper and lower sides of the suction cup position adjusting seat 7. The sliding of the first sliding block 8 in the first sliding channel 2 improves the stability of the two vacuum suction cups 10 on the same side when they move. The first hydraulic cylinders 6 on the upper and lower sides extend and retract in different directions, thereby causing the two glass clamping blocks 3 to move closer or further apart. This allows the clamping and fixing grooves 9 on the two glass clamping blocks 3 to clamp the glass. The mounting hole 13 at the top of the mounting rod 14 facilitates the connection of this device to external power equipment.
[0025] Both the vacuum suction cup 10 and the drive motor 19 are common models available on the market. Both the vacuum suction cup 10 and the drive motor 19 are electrically connected to an external control switch group, and their connection relationship is a common method in the prior art.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
