Detailed Implementation

[0024] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail below. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this invention. Rather, they are merely examples consistent with some aspects of this invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an automatic gripping device for sponge titanium bucket lids includes a portal frame 1. A motor 2 is mounted on the crossbeam of the portal frame 1. A gear 5 is connected to the output end of the motor 2. A rack fixing device 4 is mounted on the side of the portal frame 1. A rack module 9 is mounted inside the rack fixing device 4. The rack 3 in the rack module 9 meshes with the gear 5. The gripping mechanism moves up and down through the rack module 9.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the gripping mechanism includes a suction cup module 8 and a buffer connection part 7. The lower end of the rack module 9 is connected to a square connecting frame 6. The lower end of the rack module 9 is connected to the center of the square connecting frame 6. Each corner of the square connecting frame 6 is connected to the buffer connection part 7.

[0029] In this embodiment: the motor 2 can drive the gear 5 to rotate forward or reverse, thereby driving the rack module 9 to rise or fall. When the rack module 9 falls to the position of the bucket lid, it continues to press down, so that the suction cup grips the bucket lid and then the rack module 9 rises, thereby opening the bucket lid. When the rack module 9 grips the bucket lid and falls to the position of the bucket opening, it continues to press down, so that the bucket lid is closed to the bucket opening.

[0030] It should be noted that the photoelectric triggering system is used to detect whether the bucket is under the device, thereby enabling the opening and closing of the bucket lid.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the buffer connection part 7 includes a connecting post 7-1, a sleeve 7-6 is sleeved on the connecting post 7-1, each corner of the square connecting frame 6 is provided with a through hole, and a sleeve 7-6 is provided in each of the through holes. The lower end of the connecting post 7-1 is connected to a suction cup module 8, and the upper end of the connecting post 7-1 is provided with a first limiting block 7-5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the buffer connection mainly serves a buffering function, which can prevent the bucket lid from breaking due to excessive downward pressure from the automatic lid gripping device.

[0033] Furthermore, a first spring 7-3 and a second spring 7-4 are sleeved on the connecting post 7-1. The first spring 7-3 is located between the sleeve 7-6 and the first limiting block 7-5, and the second spring 7-4 is located between the sleeve 7-6 and the suction cup module 8.

[0034] In this embodiment, both the first spring 7-3 and the second spring 7-4 serve as buffers and protectors. When the device performs a downward pressing action, the first spring 7-3 takes effect, and when the device performs a lifting action, the second spring 7-4 takes effect.

[0035] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sleeve 7-6 is provided with threads, and nuts 7-2 for fixing the square connecting bracket 6 are screwed to both the upper and lower ends of the sleeve 7-6.

[0036] In this embodiment, two nuts 7-2 are screwed to the bottom and top surfaces of the square connecting frame 6, respectively, which can fix the square frame.

[0037] Furthermore, the suction cup module 8 includes a suction cup 8-2, and a compressed air interface 8-1 is provided at the upper end of the suction cup 8-2.

[0038] In this embodiment: Compressed air can be connected through the compressed air interface 8-1. When the suction cup 8-2 does not need to adsorb the bucket lid, air is introduced to separate the suction cup 8-2 from the bucket lid.

[0039] Furthermore, the motor 2 is a self-locking motor.

[0040] In this embodiment, the self-locking motor can be locked to prevent the rack module 9 from sliding after the motor stops running.

[0041] Furthermore, the rack module 9 includes a connecting plate 9-1, a guide rail 9-2 is provided on the first side wall of the connecting plate 9-1, a guide rail slider 9-3 is provided inside the rack fixing device 4, the guide rail slides on the guide rail slider 9-3, and the rack 3 is located on the second side wall of the connecting plate 9-1.

[0042] In this embodiment: the guide rail slider 9-3 is fixed at the side edge of the rack fixing device 4, the guide rail slider 9-3 cooperates with the guide rail 9-2, the guide rail 9-2 and the guide rail slider 9-3 are slidably connected, the rack 3 meshes with the gear 5, the gear 5 drives the rack 3 to move up or down, thereby driving the connecting plate 9-1 to move up or down.

[0043] Furthermore, a second limiting block 10 is provided at the upper end of the connecting plate 9-1.

[0044] In this embodiment: the second limiting block 10 has a T-shaped structure. When the connecting plate 9-1 descends, the second limiting block 10 will be limited by the rack fixing device, which can achieve the limiting function.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement it. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this utility model.

[0046] It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the content already described above, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this utility model is limited only by the appended claims.
