[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Identical parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a transfer robot for inverter housing processing includes a multi-axis robotic arm 1. A flange connecting plate 2 is provided at the end of the multi-axis robotic arm 1. A transition short plate 3 is provided on the flange connecting plate 2. A transition long plate 4 is bolted to both sides of the transition short plate 3. A set of mechanical gripper assemblies for gripping the inverter housing is provided at both ends of the two transition long plates 4.
[0023] Through the combined design of flange connecting plate 2, transition short plate 3 and transition long plate 4, the structure of the entire robot arm is more stable; the multi-axis robot arm 1 enables the robot arm to move flexibly in three-dimensional space to adapt to the needs of gripping inverter housings in different positions and directions; the two sets of mechanical gripper assemblies can grip both sides of the inverter housing at the same time, improving gripping efficiency.
[0024] The mechanical gripper assembly includes a gripper fixing plate 5, support pads 6, and contact blocks 7. The bottom of the gripper fixing plate 5 is bolted to two transition plates 4. There are four support pads 6, which are located at the four corners of the gripper fixing plate 5. There are four contact blocks 7, which are located on the top of the support pads 6. Each of the four contact blocks 7 has a set of movable clamping components for fixing the inverter housing.
[0025] The hand-held fixing plate 5 is fixed to the two transition plates 4 by bolts, providing strong structural strength and stability. The four contact blocks 7 are evenly distributed on the top of the support pad block 6, so that the inverter housing can be evenly and stably supported and clamped.
[0026] The movable clamping assembly includes a drive cylinder 8, a connecting rod seat 9, a movable connecting rod 10, and a fixed pressure block 11. The drive cylinder 8 is located on one side of the contact block 7, and its bottom is bolted to the surface of the gripping fixing plate 5. The connecting rod seat 9 is located on the opposite side of the contact block 7, and its bottom is bolted to the top of the drive cylinder 8. There are two movable connecting rods 10. The bottoms of the two movable connecting rods 10 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the connecting rod seat 9, and their tops are rotatably connected to the fixed pressure block 11. The fixed pressure block 11 has an opening facing the piston rod of the drive cylinder 8 and is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the drive cylinder 8.
[0027] During the gripping process of the robotic arm, the piston rod of the drive cylinder 8 extends and retracts, driving the rotation of the fixed pressure block 11. The connecting rod seat 9 provides support, and the movable connecting rod 10 provides connection and rotation. After the inverter housing and the contact block 7 are inserted, the fixed pressure block 11 can fix the inverter housing, achieving precise gripping and release of the inverter housing and preventing it from falling off during transportation.
[0028] A connecting rod pin 12 is provided at one end of the movable connecting rod 10 facing the connecting rod seat 9. The connecting rod pin 12 is inserted into the connecting rod seat 9 and a connecting rod retaining ring 13 is provided on it. A pressure block pin 14 is provided at the other end of the movable connecting rod 10. The pressure block pin 14 is inserted into the fixed pressure block 11 and a pressure block retaining ring 15 is provided on it. A piston pin 16 is provided at the end of the fixed pressure block 11 facing the drive cylinder 8. The piston pin 16 is inserted into the piston rod of the drive cylinder 8 and a piston washer is provided on it.
[0029] The insertion method of the connecting rod pin 12 and the pressure block pin 14, as well as the connection between the piston pin 16 and the piston rod of the drive cylinder 8, all adopt the fit of pins and holes. This fit method has high stability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring the stability of the connecting rod during transmission. The setting of the connecting rod retaining ring 13 and the pressure block retaining ring 15 effectively prevents the pins from falling off during transmission, further enhancing the stability of the structure.
[0030] A guide sleeve 18 is provided at both ends of the gripping fixing plate 5. The guide sleeve 18 is located between two contact blocks 7 on the same side, and a guide pin 19 is provided on each of the two guide sleeves 18.
[0031] The guide sleeve 18 and guide pin 19 play a guiding role in the installation of the inverter housing, enabling precise positioning during the robotic gripper's grasping process, allowing the inverter housing to be installed more quickly, and improving the working accuracy of the entire robotic gripper assembly.
[0032] A material tray handle 20 is bolted to one end of the gripping plate 5. The material tray handle 20 has an opening facing the fixed pressure block 11, and two buffer blocks 21 are provided at the opening. The material tray handle 20 can cooperate with the drawer-type material tray to take out the material in the drawer-type material tray. The buffer blocks 21 provide a certain gap and buffering effect between the material tray handle 20 and other components.
[0033] Working principle: When in use, the multi-axis robotic arm 1 moves to the designated position and pulls open the drawer-type material tray through the material tray handle 20. Using components such as the support pad 6, contact block 7 and guide pin 19, the inverter housing is inserted. Then, the piston rod of the drive cylinder 8 is used to rotate the fixing block 11, so that the fixing block 11 fixes the inverter housing, which can then be transferred and processed.
