Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wrist rope positioning and gripping technology, and in particular to a robotic arm structure with a multi-wrist rope for positioning and transfer and its solidified flow channel. Background Technology

[0002] In the wristband manufacturing industry, in order to enhance the durability and aesthetics of wristbands, it is usually necessary to apply a rubber coating to the welded parts of the wristband. During this process, the rubber-coated part of the wristband needs to be precisely positioned inside the lower mold of the injection mold so that it can be formed together with the injected rubber material. After forming, the rubber-coated part is connected to the fixed flow channel.

[0003] However, in automated production lines, removing the product along with its fixed flow channel from the mold and accurately transferring it to the sprue treatment device is a complex and precision-required task. Traditionally, manual operation is used to cut the sprue and remove the wrist strap. This manual operation is inefficient, easily leads to extended production cycles, increases labor costs, and due to human factors, products may be damaged due to human error, resulting in an increase in defective products.

[0004] Therefore, a new robotic arm structure with a multi-wrist rope for positioning and transfer and its solidified flow channel was designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a robotic arm structure for positioning and transferring multiple wrist ropes and their solidified flow channels, aiming to solve the problems of low efficiency, long production cycle, high labor cost, and increased product damage and defective products caused by human factors when manually handling wrist ropes and their solidified flow channels.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a robotic arm structure for positioning and transferring multiple wrist ropes and their solidification channels, including a mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with four wrist rope end clamping assemblies and a wrist rope rubber-coated portion positioning clamping assembly. The four wrist rope end clamping assemblies are symmetrically arranged in pairs at both ends of the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The wrist rope rubber-coated portion positioning clamping assembly is located in the middle of the mounting plate. The wrist rope rubber-coated portion positioning clamping assembly includes a positioning frame, four wrist rope forks, four wrist rope positioning posts, and a solidification channel air clamp installed in the middle of the positioning frame. The four wrist rope forks are symmetrically arranged in pairs at both ends of the bottom surface of the positioning frame, and each wrist rope fork cooperates with one of the wrist rope end clamping assemblies to clamp both ends of the wrist rope. Each wrist rope positioning post is located correspondingly outside one of the wrist rope forks, near the middle of the positioning frame.

[0007] Based on the above, the beneficial effects of a robotic arm structure for positioning and transferring multi-wrist ropes and their solidified flow channels are that it solves the problems of low efficiency, long production cycle, high labor cost, and increased product damage and defects caused by human factors in the traditional manual handling of wrist ropes and their solidified flow channels; mainly reflected in:

[0008] 1. This utility model, through a robotic arm structure including an mounting plate, a wrist cord end clamping assembly, and a wrist cord rubber coating positioning sleeve assembly, can quickly and accurately complete the positioning and transfer of the wrist cord and its solidified flow channel, greatly shortening the time required for each production cycle and improving the overall production line operating efficiency.

[0009] 2. This utility model replaces the traditional manual operation method and can simultaneously clamp and transfer four wristbands, which not only reduces the dependence on manpower and lowers labor costs, but also greatly increases production efficiency.

[0010] 3. This utility model uses a wrist strap end clamping assembly to clamp one end of the wrist strap. At the other end, a wrist strap positioning post and a wrist strap sleeve fork are positioned in the middle of the wrist strap rubber-coated part. When the lower mold ejects the rubber-coated part, the rubber-coated part is pulled by the wrist strap end clamping assembly and comes into contact with the wrist strap positioning post. When the robotic arm structure clamps the wrist strap, the rubber-coated part naturally falls into the wrist strap sleeve fork, thus jointly completing the clamping of both ends of the wrist strap and transferring it to the sprue treatment device. This avoids product damage and increased defective products caused by human factors in the sprue treatment, and improves the product qualification rate and market competitiveness.

[0011] Furthermore, a flow channel air clamp through hole is provided at the bottom center of the positioning frame. The curing flow channel air clamp is disposed inside the positioning frame. The output end of the curing flow channel air clamp passes through the flow channel air clamp through hole and reaches the bottom of the positioning frame, and is used to clamp the curing flow channel that is formed together with the wristband overlay in the injection mold.

[0012] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of installing the solidified flow channel air clamp inside the positioning frame and precisely aligning the air clamp through the exposed hole is to ensure that the solidified flow channel can be accurately clamped, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the entire robot operation.

[0013] Furthermore, the wrist strap end clamping assembly includes an outward push-tightening cylinder and an end clamp, the end clamp being disposed at the output end of the outward push-tightening cylinder.

[0014] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the outward-pull tensioning cylinder is to ensure that the end clamp can apply sufficient tension to tighten the wrist strap.

[0015] Furthermore, the robotic arm structure also includes a support frame, a horizontal axis drive assembly, a vertical drive assembly, and a connecting plate. The horizontal axis drive assembly is mounted on the upper end of the support frame, the vertical drive assembly is disposed on the output end of the horizontal axis drive assembly, the connecting plate is disposed on the output end of the vertical drive assembly, and the mounting plate is disposed on the bottom end of the connecting plate.

[0016] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of combining the horizontal drive assembly and the vertical drive assembly is to drive the robot to move in both the horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring that the wrist rope and its solidified flow channel are accurately positioned and transferred.

[0017] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is provided on the output end of the end clamp to monitor the tension of the outward-pushing tension cylinder on the wrist rope.

[0018] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the pressure sensor is that it can monitor the tension applied to the wrist strap in real time, prevent the wrist strap from being damaged due to overstretching, and ensure product quality.

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned features of this utility model and the objectives it aims to achieve, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] like Figures 1-4As shown, a robotic arm structure for positioning and transferring multiple wrist ropes and their solidification channels includes a mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 is equipped with four wrist rope end clamping assemblies 2 and wrist rope rubber-coated portion positioning clamping assemblies 3. The four wrist rope end clamping assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged in pairs at both ends of the bottom surface of the mounting plate 1. The wrist rope rubber-coated portion positioning clamping assembly 3 is located in the middle of the mounting plate 1. The wrist rope rubber-coated portion positioning clamping assembly 3 includes a positioning frame 31, four wrist rope forks 32, four wrist rope positioning posts 33, and a solidification channel air clamp 34 installed in the middle of the positioning frame 31. The four wrist rope forks 32 are symmetrically arranged in pairs at both ends of the bottom surface of the positioning frame 31, and each wrist rope fork 32 cooperates with one of the wrist rope end clamping assemblies 2 to clamp both ends of the wrist rope. Each wrist rope positioning post 33 is located corresponding to one of the wrist rope forks 32 on the side near the middle of the positioning frame 31.

[0026] The bottom center of the positioning frame 31 is provided with a flow channel air clamp through hole. The curing flow channel air clamp 34 is disposed inside the positioning frame 31. The output end of the curing flow channel air clamp 34 passes through the flow channel air clamp through hole and reaches the bottom of the positioning frame 31, and is used to clamp the curing flow channel formed together with the wristband rubber in the injection mold.

[0027] The wrist strap end clamping assembly 2 includes an outward push-tightening cylinder 21 and an end clamp 22, with the end clamp 22 located at the output end of the outward push-tightening cylinder 21.

[0028] The robotic arm structure also includes a support frame 4, a horizontal axis drive assembly 5, a vertical drive assembly 6, and a connecting plate 7. The horizontal axis drive assembly 5 is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 4, the vertical drive assembly 6 is disposed on the output end of the horizontal axis drive assembly 5, the connecting plate 7 is disposed on the output end of the vertical drive assembly 6, and the mounting plate 1 is disposed on the bottom end of the connecting plate 7.

[0029] A pressure sensor is provided on the output end of the end air clamp 22 to monitor the tension of the outward push-tightening cylinder 21 on the wrist rope.

[0030] In summary, the specific implementation of this utility model is as follows: First, when the robot arm reaches the predetermined position, the four wrist rope end clamping components 2 are activated. First, one end of the wrist rope is clamped by the end air clamp 22, and then the wrist rope is tightened by the outward push tensioning cylinder 21. During this period, the pressure sensor monitors the tension in real time to prevent the wrist rope from being overstretched.

[0031] Meanwhile, the output end of the solidified flow channel air clamp 34 passes through the flow channel air clamp through hole in the middle of the bottom of the positioning frame 31, accurately clamping the solidified flow channel formed together with the wristband coating. The four wrist lanyard forks 32 on the positioning frame 31 in the middle of the mounting plate 1 cooperate with the wrist lanyard positioning post 33, touching the wrist lanyard coating part on the injection mold. When the injection mold ejects the coating part, the wrist lanyard is pulled by the end clamping component 2 and contacts the wrist lanyard positioning post 33. When the vertical drive component 6 drives the mounting plate 1 to rise, the coating part naturally falls onto the wrist lanyard forks 32, thus ensuring its stability during the transfer process.

[0032] The above description is only the optimal solution embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Various modifications or substitutions made by those skilled in the art to this utility model without departing from the essence and protection scope of this utility model should also be within the protection scope of this utility model.
