Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palletizing machine technology, and in particular to a gripping device for a palletizing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A palletizer automatically stacks cartons already packed in containers onto pallets or stacks (wooden or plastic) in a specific arrangement. Multiple layers can be stacked, and then the cartons are pushed out for easy transport to a warehouse by forklift.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (application number "202223112879.8") disclosing "a gripping device for a palletizing machine." This gripping device includes a top plate, the upper middle side of which is connected to the palletizing machine's robotic arm via a shock absorber. Two through holes are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the top plate, and baffles are vertically installed at both ends. A cylinder is installed in each through hole. Two T-shaped support rods are installed on the top plate, with the horizontal end of each T-shaped support rod positioned above the top plate. The vertical end of each T-shaped support rod passes through each through hole and is connected to the cylinder via a buffer. A bottom gripper is provided at the vertical end of each T-shaped support rod. Each T-shaped support rod also has side grippers for fixing the sides of the container. However, during use, this gripping device cannot stably grip materials of different specifications, resulting in low practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a gripping device for a palletizer, which solves the problem of low practicality of the gripping device proposed in the prior art when gripping materials of different specifications, as it cannot stably grip materials of different specifications.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A palletizer gripping device includes a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting seat bolted to the palletizer and two fixing plates bolted to the bottom outer wall of the connecting seat. The connecting seat is equipped with an adjusting assembly, which includes an adjusting motor bolted to the top outer wall of the connecting seat, a gearbox bolted to the bottom outer wall of the connecting seat, two screws passing through and connected to the inner walls of the gearbox via bearings, two mounting seats bolted to one end of the two screws, and four first mounting blocks bolted to opposite sides of the two mounting seats. Each mounting seat has a connecting rod assembly on one side. Each connecting rod assembly includes connecting shafts with both ends passing through and connected to one side of the outer wall of the two first mounting blocks via bearings, and two rotatable mounting blocks... Triangular connecting rods are mounted on the outer walls of both ends of the connecting shaft, and fixed shafts are respectively passed through and connected to the upper outer walls of the two triangular connecting rods by bearings. Two tensioning assemblies are provided on one side of each of the two mounting seats. Each tensioning assembly includes a fixed block connected to the outer wall of one side of the mounting seat by bolts, a connecting block abutting against the outer wall of one side of the fixed block, a hydraulic cylinder fixed to the outer wall of one end of the connecting block, and a fixed seat fixed to the outer wall of one end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder. Each of the two mounting seats is provided on one side of the clamping assembly. Each clamping assembly includes a mounting shaft respectively passed through and connected to the outer wall of one side of the two triangular connecting rods by bearings, two second mounting blocks respectively connected to the outer walls of both ends of the mounting shaft by bolts, clamping plates connected to the outer walls of one side of the two second mounting blocks by bolts, and two torsion springs respectively sleeved on the outer walls of both ends of the mounting shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting seat has two side plates connected to the outer walls on both sides by bolts, and the two fixing plates are respectively fixed to the outer walls of one side plate.
[0008] Preferably, one end of each of the two screws is connected to the outer wall of one side of the two fixed plates via bearings. Two slides are opened on the top outer wall of the connecting seat. Two slide rods are fixed on the top outer wall of each of the two mounting seats, and the four slide rods are slidably installed in the two slides. Limit bolts are screwed onto the upper outer wall of each of the four slide rods.
[0009] The above scheme involves adjusting the rotation of the motor output shaft and driving it through a gearbox to rotate two screws. The two screws then move two mounting seats, causing them to move away from each other. This, in turn, causes the clamping plates to move away from each other, thereby enabling the clamping of materials of different specifications.
[0010] Preferably, each of the two side plates has a channel on its lower outer wall, and the two ends of the connecting shaft are slidably installed in the two channels respectively.
[0011] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixed on one side of the outer wall of the connecting block, and the fixing rod passes through and is connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixing block through a bearing, and the fixing seat is connected to the outer wall of the fixing shaft by bolts.
[0012] Preferably, each of the two clamping plates has two fixing holes on one side of its outer wall, and each of the four triangular connecting rods has an installation port on one end of its outer wall. The lower parts of the two torsion springs are inserted into the two fixing holes on one side of the clamping plate, and the upper parts of the two torsion springs are inserted into the installation ports on one side of the two triangular connecting rods.
[0013] The above scheme involves moving the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, which pulls the fixed shaft and the triangular connecting rod to rotate along the axis of the connecting shaft, causing the two clamping plates to move closer to each other. When the lower part of the clamping plate contacts the material, the clamping plate flips along the axis of the mounting shaft, and at the same time, the torsion spring twists, making the two clamping plates parallel to each other, thereby clamping the material. The torsion spring keeps the angle between the clamping plate and the triangular connecting rod constant when the triangular connecting rod flips.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The motor output shaft rotates and is driven by a gearbox, which in turn drives two screws to rotate. The two screws then move two mounting seats apart, causing the clamping plates to move apart as well. This allows for the clamping of materials of different specifications. The distance between the two clamping plates can be adjusted to accommodate materials of different specifications, thus improving practicality. Attached Figure Description

Channels are opened on the lower outer walls of both side plates 102, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 301 are slidably mounted within the two channels. Two tensioning assemblies 4 are provided on one side of each of the two mounting seats 204. Each tensioning assembly 4 includes a fixed block 401 bolted to the outer wall of one side of the mounting seat 204; a connecting block 402 abutting against the outer wall of one side of the fixed block 401; a hydraulic cylinder 404 fixed to the outer wall of one end of the connecting block 402; and a fixed seat 405 fixed to the outer wall of one end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 404.

The two screws 203 drive the two mounting seats 204 to move away from each other, thereby driving the clamping plates 503 to move away from each other. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 404 moves, pulling the fixed shaft 303 and the triangular connecting rod 302 to rotate along the axis of the connecting shaft 301, so that the two clamping plates 503 move closer to each other. When the lower part of the clamping plate 503 contacts the material, the clamping plate 503 flips along the axis of the mounting shaft 501. At the same time, the torsion spring 504 twists, so that the two clamping plates 503 are parallel to each other, thereby clamping the material. The torsion spring 504 keeps the angle between the clamping plate 503 and the triangular connecting rod 302 constant when the triangular connecting rod 302 flips.
