Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of progressive die processing technology, and in particular to a handling robot for progressive die processing. Background Technology

[0002] Progressive dies are a type of mold widely used in stamping processes. They complete the gradual forming or cutting of materials through a series of stations arranged in a specific order. Each station performs a specific operation, and the material passes through these stations continuously, thereby achieving an efficient and precise mass production process. Progressive dies can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce processing time and cost per unit, and ensure product quality consistency and stability due to the precise coordination between each station, thus reducing scrap rates. For manufacturing industries that require large-scale production, the use of progressive dies can greatly enhance competitiveness.

[0003] When producing box-shaped products using progressive dies, the products require various shaping processes. A robotic arm is typically used to grip and move the product to the next workstation. This robotic arm usually consists of two main arms on either side, each with a corresponding robotic arm mounted on it. A drive mechanism moves the main arms towards and away from the product to grip or release it. The drive mechanism then moves the main arms back and forth to place the product to the next workstation. However, when the progressive die has grooves in the workstation molds to accommodate product forming, the bottom of the product is restricted by these grooves. In this case, traditional robotic arms would restrict the product's movement, requiring an upward lifting motion while gripping it. To achieve this lifting motion, traditional robotic arms would need an additional drive mechanism to move the main arms and robotic arms up and down. This necessitates a redesign of the robotic arm structure, increases manufacturing costs, and requires maintenance. Clearly, this is not the optimal solution. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a handling robot for continuous die processing, comprising two grippers arranged opposite to each other and two inclined base platforms with inclined surfaces, wherein each of the two grippers is provided with an inclined plate on the opposite side, and a sliding guide mechanism is provided between the inclined plate and the inclined base platform;

[0006] The sliding guide mechanism includes a slide rail disposed on an inclined base platform and a slider disposed on an inclined plate, wherein the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a baffle is provided on the side of the inclined base away from the gripper, and an elastic element is provided between the baffle and the inclined plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper end of the baffle is bent to form a bent portion, a guide hole is provided on the side of the inclined plate facing the bent portion, a guide rod is fixed on the bent portion, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the guide hole.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bent portion and the opposite side of the inclined plate are parallel to each other.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the elastic element is a spring, and the elastic element is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a stop plate is provided on the side of the inclined base facing the gripper.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lower end of the inclined base is provided with a mounting plate, the mounting plate is provided with an adjustment groove, and the adjustment groove is provided with fixing bolts.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: two grippers approach each other to clamp the box-shaped product, while the inclined base continues to move towards the box-shaped product, causing the slider on the inclined plate to move obliquely upward on the slide rail. At the same time, the inclined base continues to move towards the box-shaped product, converting the oblique upward movement of the inclined plate into driving the grippers to move up and down. Thus, while the two grippers clamp the box-shaped product and lift it up, they maintain clamping force. Subsequently, they move the box-shaped product to the next station. As the two grippers release the box-shaped product and move back to the previous station, the grippers, inclined plate, and slider slide down using their own gravity, allowing the grippers to reset and prepare for the next transfer of the box-shaped product. Through ingenious structural combination, the effect of lifting the box-shaped product after the two grippers clamp it is achieved. The structure is simple and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-2 A handling robot for continuous die processing includes two grippers 1 arranged opposite each other and two inclined base platforms 2 with inclined surfaces. Each gripper 1 has an inclined plate 3 on its opposite side, and a sliding guide mechanism is provided between the inclined plate 3 and the inclined base platform 2.

[0022] The sliding guide mechanism includes a slide rail 4 disposed on the inclined base 2 and a slider 5 disposed on the inclined plate 3, and the slider 5 is slidably connected to the slide rail 4.

[0023] An installation plate 12 is provided at the lower end of the inclined base 2.

[0024] Specifically, the main arms on both sides of the progressive die are driven by a drive device to achieve reciprocating motions of approaching and moving away from each other. The mounting plate 12 is fixed to the main arms. During the progressive die manufacturing process, the two grippers 1 approach each other to clamp the box-shaped product. At this time, the mounting plate 12 and the inclined base 2 continue to move towards the box-shaped product, causing the inclined base 2 and the inclined plate 3 of the gripper 1 to generate an interaction force. This causes the slider 5 on the inclined plate 3 to move obliquely upward on the slide rail 4. While the inclined plate 3 moves obliquely upward, the inclined base 2 continues to move towards the box-shaped product, so that the oblique upward movement of the inclined plate 3 is converted into driving the gripper 1 to move up and down. The mechanism involves two grippers 1 clamping and lifting the box-shaped product while maintaining clamping force. Then, the main arm moves the box-shaped product to the next workstation by moving it back and forth. When the two grippers 1 move away from each other, the box-shaped product is released. As the two grippers 1 release the product and the main arm moves the grippers 1 back to the previous workstation, the grippers 1, the inclined plate 3, and the slider 5 slide down using their own gravity, allowing the grippers 1 to reset and prepare for the next transfer of the box-shaped product. Through a clever combination of structures, the mechanism achieves the effect of lifting the box-shaped product after it is clamped by the two grippers 1. The structure is simple and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0025] In the technical solution of this utility model, the inclination of the inclined plate 3 is preferably the same as the inclination of the inclined surface of the inclined base 2, so as to ensure that the inclined plate 3 can remain smooth when moving in an inclined direction and avoid jamming or other situations.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, a baffle 6 is provided on the side of the inclined base 2 away from the gripper 1, and an elastic element 7 is provided between the baffle 6 and the inclined plate 3.

[0027] Specifically, when the inclined plate 3 moves obliquely and drives the gripper 1 to move up and down, the inclined plate 3 will squeeze the elastic element 7 when it moves obliquely upward. When the gripper 1 needs to move downward to reset, the elastic element 7 uses its elastic restoring force to push the inclined plate 3, so that the inclined plate 3 can drive the gripper 1 to reset more quickly. This is to adapt to the rapid operation of the continuous mold and avoid the situation where the gripper 1 clamps the box-shaped product before it is fully reset, causing the box-shaped product to fall.

[0028] Preferably, the upper end of the baffle 6 is bent to form a bent portion 8, and the inclined plate 3 has a guide hole 9 on the side facing the bent portion 8. A guide rod 10 is fixed on the bent portion 8, and the guide rod 10 is slidably connected to the guide hole 9.

[0029] Specifically, when the inclined plate 3 drives the gripper 1 to move, the guide hole 9 and the guide rod 10 are connected in a sliding manner to increase the stability of the inclined plate 3 during movement and prevent the inclined plate 3 from shaking during movement, thereby enhancing the gripping stability of the gripper 1 on the box-shaped product.

[0030] Both the guide hole 9 and the guide rod 10 are inclined, and the inclination angle is the same as that of the inclined plate.

[0031] More preferably, the bent portion 8 and the opposite side of the inclined plate 3 are parallel to each other. Bending the bent portion 8 to be parallel to the side of the inclined plate 3 facilitates the installation of the guide rod 10.

[0032] Furthermore, the elastic element 7 is a spring, and the elastic element 7 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 10. The elastic element 7 is preferably a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the guide rod 10 so that the spring can be sleeved on the guide rod 10 and then fixed during the assembly process, thus eliminating the need to fix the spring.

[0033] Furthermore, a stop plate 11 is provided on the side of the inclined base 2 facing the gripper 1; by setting the stop plate 11, the lowest point of the downward sliding of the slider 5 can be restricted, so as to prevent the slider 5 from disengaging from the slide rail 4.

[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, an adjustment groove 13 is provided on the mounting plate 12, and a fixing bolt 14 is provided on the adjustment groove 13.

[0035] Specifically, during installation, the mounting plate 12 can be moved to adjust the distance between the two grippers 1 according to the size of the product. Then, the mounting plate 12 is fixed by the fixing bolt 14 and the adjusting groove 13. The fixing bolt 14 consists of a threaded section, a washer and a nut. When tightened, the threaded section is screwed into the corresponding screw hole on the main arm, and the washer is used to press the mounting plate.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
