Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vulcanization equipment technology, specifically relating to a safe mid-position transfer device for a vulcanizing machine robot arm. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of existing vulcanizing machines, when the robotic arm completes the tire loading and is raised, it needs to be raised to the highest point before it can be rotated out. Only after the robotic arm is rotated out can the vulcanizing chamber perform the mold closing action. During this process, each action is performed in sequence, resulting in long waiting time and low production efficiency of the vulcanizing machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, a safe mid-position transfer device for vulcanizing machine manipulators is proposed to solve the technical problem of long standby time and low production efficiency caused by the manipulator needing to be raised to the highest point before it can perform the transfer operation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A safety center-positioning device for a vulcanizing machine robotic arm includes a robotic arm, a sensing plate, and a proximity switch. The sensing plate is disposed on the robotic arm, and the proximity switch is disposed on the vulcanizing machine via a fixing component. The installation position of the proximity switch relative to the vulcanizing machine is adjustable, and the installation position of the proximity switch is lower than the lifting limit position of the robotic arm.

[0006] The technical solution is further configured such that the proximity switch is mounted on a fixed base, the fixed base is slidably mounted on the mounting frame, and the fixed base slides along the vertical direction.

[0007] The technical solution is further configured such that the mounting frame has a cavity inside, and a strip hole is formed on the mounting frame along the vertical direction. The fixing seat is embedded inside the cavity and connected to the strip hole through a connector.

[0008] The technical solution is further configured such that the mounting frame is provided with a notch communicating with the cavity, the extension direction of the notch is parallel to the extension direction of the strip hole, and the proximity switch extends to the outside of the cavity through the notch.

[0009] The technical solution is further configured such that the fixing component includes a vertically arranged first slide rail and a second slide rail, the second slide rail being slidably connected to the first slide rail via a first slider, and the mounting frame being slidably connected to the second slide rail via a second slider.

[0010] The technical solution is further configured such that a fixing plate is provided on the side of the first slide rail, and the fixing plate is connected to the vulcanizing machine.

[0011] The technical solution is further configured such that locking components are provided between the first slide rail and the first slider, and between the second slide rail and the second slider.

[0012] The technical solution is further configured such that the top of the mounting frame extends away from its body to form a mounting portion, and the mounting portion is connected to the second slider.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] By setting up a sensor plate and a proximity switch, the robotic arm begins to lift after loading the blank. During the lifting process, when the sensor plate passes the proximity switch, the robotic arm begins to turn out. At the same time, the installation position of the proximity switch is lower than the lifting limit position of the robotic arm, so the robotic arm can achieve mid-position turning out without lifting to the limit position, shortening the standby time of the vulcanizing machine and improving production efficiency. The fixed component can adjust the installation position of the proximity switch to avoid interference between the proximity switch or the robotic arm and other structures when turning out, which is highly flexible.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a safe mid-position transfer device for a vulcanizing machine robotic arm is provided. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 The device includes a robotic arm 1, a sensing plate 3, and a proximity switch 4. The sensing plate 3 is mounted on the robotic arm 1, and the proximity switch 4 is mounted on the vulcanizing machine 2 via a fixing component 5. The installation position of the proximity switch 4 relative to the vulcanizing machine 2 is adjustable, and the installation position of the proximity switch 4 is lower than the lifting limit position of the robotic arm 1.

[0024] It should be noted that by setting the induction plate 3 and the proximity switch 4, the robot arm 1 starts to lift after loading the blank. During the lifting process, when the induction plate 3 passes the proximity switch 4, the robot arm 1 begins to turn out. At the same time, the installation position of the proximity switch 4 is lower than the lifting limit position of the robot arm 1, so the robot arm 1 does not need to lift to the limit position to achieve the mid-position turnout, shortening the standby time of the vulcanizing machine 2 and improving production efficiency. The fixing component 5 can adjust the installation position of the proximity switch 4 to avoid interference between the proximity switch 4 or the robot arm 1 and other structures when turning out, which is highly flexible.

[0025] In the vulcanizing machine robot's safe mid-position transfer device of this embodiment, please refer to...

[0038] Specifically, a first locking member 10 is provided between the first slide rail 6 and the first slider 7. The first locking member 10 passes through the first slider 7, and the end of the first locking member 10 abuts against the bottom of the slide rail groove of the first slide rail 6. A second locking member 11 is provided between the second slide rail 8 and the second slider 9. The second locking member 11 passes through the second slider 9, and the end of the second locking member 11 abuts against the bottom of the slide rail groove of the second slide rail 8.

[0039] Preferably, both the first locking member 10 and the second locking member 11 are bolts, and correspondingly, the first slider 7 and the second slider 9 are threadedly engaged with the bolts. By turning the bolts so that their ends separate from the bottom of the slide rail groove, the positions of the first slider 7 and the second slider 9 can be adjusted. After adjustment, the bolts are turned in the opposite direction so that their ends abut against the bottom of the slide rail groove again to achieve locking.
