The blade holder 11 drives the clamping assembly to move. The clamping assembly and the fixing assembly work together to clamp the excess waste material. After shearing, the blade holder 11 drives the clamping assembly to reset, and the suction assembly sucks the remaining material away from between the blade holder 11 and the base 12 for collection. This step, through the arrangement of cylinder 1, blade holder 11, base 12, clamping assembly, fixing assembly and suction assembly, forms the end-effector shearing waste material processing structure of the robot. It realizes the function of suctioning and collecting the sheared waste material, solves the problem of waste material falling and injuring other items after shearing, improves the convenience of waste material collection, and reduces the possibility of waste material falling outside the collection container and injuring other items.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly includes a fixed plate 13, a push plate 14, a fixed frame 15, a sealing gasket 6, and a movable frame 17. The fixed plate 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cutter holder 11. The push plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 13 away from the cylinder 1. The fixed frame 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder 1 near the base 12. An electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 15 away from the cylinder 1.

The push plate 14 cooperates with the fixed component to clamp and fix the material. After the cutting is completed, the cutter 11 drives the fixed plate 13 and the push plate 14 to reset, and the cut scrap material is sucked away by the suction component. This step, through the setting of the fixed plate 13, the push plate 14, the fixed frame 15, the electric push rod 16 and the movable frame 17, forms a scrap material clamping and fixing structure, realizing the function of clamping and fixing the scrap material, solving the problem of scrap material falling after cutting, improving the convenience of scrap material collection, reducing the situation of scrap material falling and injuring other items, and improving the adaptability when cutting scrap materials of different lengths.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a top rod 2, a clamping plate 21, and a spring 22.

The side wall of the clamping plate 21 away from the top rod 2 is provided with a wrapping component. During operation, when the push plate 14 moves closer to the movable frame 17, the remaining material contacts part of the clamping plate 21. When the clamping plate 21 is squeezed, it drives the push rod 2 away from the cylinder 1, and the spring 22 is compressed. The uncompressed push rod 2 fixes the side wall of the scrap material. When the knife holder 11 drives the push plate 14 to reset, the spring 22 drives the push rod 2 and the clamping plate 21 to reset. This step, through the arrangement of the push rod 2, the clamping plate 21 and the spring 22, forms a scrap material shearing and fixing structure, which realizes the function of fixing the scrap material inside the moving frame 17.

The first sliding cover 3 and the second sliding cover 31 are slidably engaged. The fixing ring 32 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the first sliding cover 3. The fixing ring 32 is slidably engaged with the second sliding cover 31. The suction pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing ring 32 away from the movable frame 17. During operation, a vacuum pump is connected to the suction pipe 33 to draw away the air inside the suction pipe 33, making the suction pipe... A negative pressure is formed inside the 33, and the residual material inside the movable frame 17 is sucked away and collected through the first sliding cover 3 and the second sliding cover 31. When the fixed frame 15 and the movable frame 17 slide, the first sliding cover 3 and the second sliding cover 31 slide accordingly. The fixing ring 32 is fitted on the outer wall of the first sliding cover 3 and the second sliding cover 31. This step, through the arrangement of the first sliding cover 3, the second sliding cover 31, the fixing ring 32 and the suction pipe 33, forms a suction structure, which realizes the function of sucking away and collecting residual material, solves the problem of residual material falling after being cut, improves the convenience of residual material collection, and reduces the possibility of residual material falling and injuring other items.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-slip component includes anti-slip strips 4; the anti-slip strips 4 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plate 14 away from the fixed plate 13; multiple sets of anti-slip strips 4 are provided on the side wall of the push plate 14 and are evenly distributed on the side wall of the push plate 14; during operation, when the push plate 14 contacts the outer side wall of the residual material, the anti-slip strips 4 contact the residual material, and the anti-slip strips 4 increase the friction of the side wall of the push plate 14; this step, through the setting of anti-slip strips 4, forms an anti-slip structure on the side wall of the push plate 14, improves the friction of the side wall of the push plate 14, reduces the slippage that occurs when the push plate 14 clamps the residual material, and improves the stability of the push plate 14 when clamping the residual material.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the wrapping assembly includes an elastic plate 5; the elastic plate 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of multiple clamping plates 21 away from the top rod 2; the elastic plate 5 is made of elastic material; during operation, the elastic plate 5 connects the multiple clamping plates 21 in motion, and when some clamping plates 21 contact the side wall of the leftover material, the elastic plate 5 is bent to wrap and fix the leftover material; this step, through the setting of the elastic plate 5, forms a leftover material wrapping structure, realizes the function of wrapping the leftover material, and improves the stability when the leftover material is clamped and fixed.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the buffer assembly includes a sealing gasket 6; the sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable frame 17 near the base 12; during operation, when the movable frame 17 approaches the base 12, the sealing gasket 6 contacts the base 12, which plays a buffering role, reduces the impact problem when the base 12 and the movable frame 17 move relative to each other, and improves the stability when the base 12 and the movable frame 17 are in contact.

[0031] During operation, cylinder 1 is activated, and the material to be sheared is placed between the cutter holder 11 and the base 12. Cylinder 1 moves the cutter holder 11 closer to the base 12 to shear the material. As the cutter holder 11 moves closer to the base 12, it moves the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly and the fixing assembly work together to clamp the excess waste material. After shearing, the cutter holder 11 moves the clamping assembly back to its original position, and the suction assembly sucks the remaining material away from between the cutter holder 11 and the base 12 for collection. When the material to be sheared is placed between the cutter holder 11 and the base 12, the electric actuator 16 is activated, and the fixing assembly is installed on the moving frame. On the inner wall of 17, the electric push rod 16 drives the moving frame 17 to approach the base 12 to adapt to the leftover materials of different lengths. When the cutter holder 11 approaches the base 12, the cutter holder 11 drives the fixing plate 13 and the push plate 14 to approach the moving frame 17. The push plate 14 cooperates with the fixing component to clamp and fix the material. After cutting, the cutter holder 11 drives the fixing plate 13 and the push plate 14 to reset, and the cut-off leftover material is sucked away by the suction component. When the push plate 14 approaches the moving frame 17, the leftover material contacts part of the clamping plate 21, and the clamping plate 21 is squeezed. The clamping plate 21 drives the push rod 2 away. When cylinder 1 and spring 22 are compressed, the uncompressed push rod 2 fixes the residual material sidewall. When the knife holder 11 drives the push plate 14 to reset, spring 22 drives the push rod 2 and clamping plate 21 to reset. The suction pipe 33 is connected to a vacuum pump, which removes the air inside the suction pipe 33, creating a negative pressure inside the suction pipe 33. The residual material inside the moving frame 17 is sucked away and collected through the first sliding cover 3 and the second sliding cover 31. When the fixed frame 15 and the moving frame 17 slide, the first sliding cover 3 and the second sliding cover 31 slide accordingly. The fixing ring 32 is fitted onto the first sliding cover 3. The outer wall of the second sliding cover 31; when the push plate 14 contacts the outer wall of the residual material, the anti-slip strip 4 contacts the residual material, and the anti-slip strip 4 increases the friction of the side wall of the push plate 14; the elastic plate 5 connects multiple sets of clamping plates 21 in the movement, and when some clamping plates 21 contact the side wall of the residual material, the elastic plate 5 is bent to wrap and fix the residual material; when the moving frame 17 is close to the base 12, the sealing gasket 6 contacts the base 12, which plays a buffering role, reduces the impact problem when the base 12 and the moving frame 17 move relative to each other, and improves the stability when the base 12 and the moving frame 17 are in contact.
