Specific implementation

[0026] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-7 Welding workstation transfer manipulator, including mechanical hand body 1 and install in the mechanical hand body 1 operating end's hollowed plate 2, hollowed plate 2 is set up with the liftable vacuum chuck 3 to the side of mechanical hand body 1, and the vacuum chuck 3 is located in the middle part of hollowed plate 2, and the surface of hollowed plate 2 is provided with two adjustable position's positioning plate 4, and the two positioning plate 4 are perpendicular to each other, and the two positioning plate 4 are parallel to the side of hollowed plate 2 respectively, and the surface of hollowed plate 2 is provided with a plurality of balls 5 at intervals, and the plurality of balls 5 are detachably installed on the surface of hollowed plate 2, and the installation height of ball 5 is lower than the height of positioning plate 4.

[0028] It can be understood that, by setting the vacuum chuck 3, the mechanical hand body 1 drives the hollowed plate 2 and the vacuum chuck 3 to take the metal plate, then the mechanical hand body 1 holds the hollowed plate 2 and the metal plate to the high place, and at the same time, the hollowed plate 2 is inclined, and the perpendicular angle of the two positioning plates 4 is at the lowest, and the referenceFigure 2 The suction force of the vacuum chuck 3 disappears, the metal plate is supported by the plurality of balls 5, the metal plate slides to the direction of the two positioning plates 4 through the plurality of balls 5, the metal plate is positioned again by the two positioning plates 4, the metal plate is positioned quickly without the help of other positioning devices, the work efficiency is improved, meanwhile, the number of devices around the welding station can be reduced, and the neatness of the working environment is improved.

[0029] Specifically, the vacuum chuck 3 is lifted on the surface of the hollow plate 2 through the telescopic assembly 6, the surface of the hollow plate 2 is provided with a lifting assembly 7 for driving the telescopic assembly 6 to adjust the height, referring to Figure 5 , the telescopic assembly 6 includes a connecting disc 601 fixed at the bottom of the vacuum chuck 3 and two outer plates 603 fixed on the surface of the hollow plate 2, the lower surface of the connecting disc 601 is fixed with two inner plates 602, the two inner plates 602 and the two outer plates 603 are both arc-shaped and concentrically arranged, the connecting disc 601 slides inside the two outer plates 603 through the two inner plates 602, the lifting assembly 7 includes a right and left threaded column 701 rotating on the surface of the hollow plate 2 and two first moving blocks 702 threadedly connected to the surface of the right and left threaded column 701, the right and left threaded column 701 is located between the two outer plates 603, the two first moving blocks 702 are respectively hinged with a connecting rod 703 on both sides, the upper ends of the plurality of connecting rods 703 are hinged to the lower surface of the connecting disc 601, the plurality of connecting rods 703 are symmetrically arranged, the right and left threaded column 701 is driven to rotate by a driving motor, and the driving motor is fixed on the surface of the hollow plate 2.

[0030] It can be understood that the driving motor drives the right and left threaded column 701 to rotate, so that the right and left threaded column 701 drives the two first moving blocks 702 to move close to or away from each other, the plurality of connecting rods 703 automatically adjust the supporting angle, so as to drive the connecting disc 601 to slide and lift on the inner wall of the two outer plates 603 through the two inner plates 602, thereby adjusting the height of the vacuum chuck 3, when the height of the vacuum chuck 3 is higher than the height of the positioning plate 4, the metal plate is conveniently sucked, when the height of the vacuum chuck 3 is lower than the height of the ball 5, the metal plate is placed on the surface of the plurality of balls 5, so that the metal plate is positioned on the surface of the ball 5.

[0031] Specifically, the two positioning plates 4 are respectively adjusted in position by a moving assembly 8, the moving assembly 8 includes a first threaded column 801 rotating on one side of the hollow plate 2 close to the mechanical hand body 1 and a second moving block 802 threadedly connected to the surface of the first threaded column 801, the second moving block 802 is fixed at the bottom of the positioning plate 4, the bottom of the positioning plate 4 is attached to the surface of the hollow plate 2, the first threaded column 801 is fixed with a handle at the outer end, and the surface of the hollow plate 2 is provided with two groups of scale lines 11 for observing the position coordinates of the two positioning plates 4.

[0032] It is understandable that by rotating the handle, the first threaded post 801 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the second moving block 802 to move the positioning plate 4 to adjust its position on the surface of the hollow plate 2, so as to adapt to the use of metal plates of different sizes. By setting the scale line 11, it is convenient to observe the position coordinates of the positioning plate 4 when manually adjusting its position.

[0033] Specifically, the ball 5 includes a mounting cylinder for rolling the ball 5. A threaded rod 9 is fixed at the bottom of the mounting cylinder. Multiple threaded holes 10 are spaced apart on the surface of the hollow plate 2. The mounting cylinder is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded holes 10 through the threaded rod 9.

[0034] Understandably, by providing the threaded rod 9 and threaded hole 10, the installation and fixing of the ball bearing 5 and the mounting cylinder are facilitated. By making the ball bearing 5 removable, its interference with the position adjustment of the positioning plate 4 is avoided. When positioning metal plates of different sizes, the ball bearing 5 can be selectively installed according to the position of the positioning plate 4. (Refer to...) Figure 4 .

[0035] In this invention, when a metal plate needs to be gripped, the drive motor rotates the positive and negative threaded columns 701, causing the two first moving blocks 702 to move closer together. This allows the multiple connecting rods 703 to automatically adjust their support angles, driving the connecting plate 601 to slide and rise through the inner walls of the two outer plates 603 via the two inner plates 602. This adjusts the height of the vacuum suction cup 3 to be higher than the height of the positioning plate 4, facilitating the vacuum suction cup 3 to grip the metal plate. After gripping the metal plate, the robotic arm 1 lifts the perforated plate 2 and the metal plate to a high position, while simultaneously tilting the perforated plate 2 so that the vertical angle of the two positioning plates 4 is at its lowest point. (Reference) Figure 2 Then, the drive motor drives the positive and negative threaded column 701 to rotate, causing the vacuum suction cup 3 to descend. When the height of the vacuum suction cup 3 is lower than the height of the ball bearings 5, the suction force of the vacuum suction cup 3 disappears. The metal plate is supported by multiple ball bearings 5, and the metal plate slides towards the two positioning plates 4. The two positioning plates 4 perform secondary positioning of the metal plate. Then, the vacuum suction cup 3 rises and generates suction to adsorb the metal plate. The robot body 1 places the metal plate on the welding workstation for welding. When other sizes need to be transferred, the number of ball bearings 5 ​​is adjusted according to the position of the positioning plate 4. The ball bearings 5 ​​that affect the movement of the positioning plate 4 are removed. The rotation drives the first threaded column 801 to rotate, causing the second moving block 802 to move the positioning plate 4 to adjust its position on the surface of the hollow plate 2 to adapt to the use of metal plates of different sizes. The position coordinates of the positioning plate 4 are easily observed under the action of the scale line 11.
