AI Technical Summary
The problem is that when the robotic arm picks up products, the suction cup vibrates when it stops rotating, causing the products to fall off.
A buffer device is installed on the robotic arm, including a horizontal buffer rod, a connecting rod, and a vertical push rod. The rotation of the rotating arm drives the cooperation of the horizontal buffer rod and the vertical push rod. The buffering effect of the horizontal buffer rod and the limiting effect of the vertical push rod ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the rotation process.
This effectively prevents products from falling off the suction cup during rotation, enabling the robotic arm to deliver products smoothly and accurately.

[0003] The suction cup is installed on the suction cup support, and the suction cup support is hinged to the main body structure of the mechanical hand. Under the drive of the motor or the rotary cylinder, the suction cup support rotates 90 degrees forward and reversely relative to the main body structure of the mechanical hand. When the suction cup rotates from the vertical state to the horizontal state, the suction cup is in an empty state. When the suction cup rotates from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the suction cup adsorbs the product. If the suction cup vibrates when the rotation stops, the product adsorbed by the suction cup may fall off. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0006] According to the above technical scheme, the suction cup of the mechanical hand is in the horizontal state and adsorbs the plastic product on the injection molding equipment. After the mechanical hand leaves the injection molding equipment, under the drive of the motor or the rotary cylinder, the rotary arm rotates 90 degrees downward, the vertical part of the rotary arm contacts the horizontal buffer rod and drives the horizontal buffer rod to displace horizontally, and the horizontal buffer rod drives the vertical top rod to move downward through the connecting rod.
