Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial robot technology, specifically to an anti-rotation structure for a glue gun installed on an industrial robot. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, industrial robots are frequently used in painting workshops for applying adhesive to car bodies. The glue gun is mounted on the robot's six-axis flange, with numerous glue hoses, cables, and air hoses connected externally to the gun. When the robot executes its spraying trajectory, it frequently needs to repeatedly rotate its six axes. This causes the glue hoses, cables, and air hoses to become entangled and pull on each other, affecting the rotation of the robot's axes, impacting process stability, and significantly reducing the equipment's lifespan. Therefore, designing an anti-rotation structure for the glue gun mounted on the industrial robot during adhesive application operations at the UBS station in the painting workshop is particularly necessary. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-rotation structure for glue guns installed on industrial robots. The structure is reasonably designed to prevent glue tubes, air tubes, and cables from becoming entangled and pulled during glue application operations, without affecting the rotation of the robot's axes, thus improving process stability, extending the service life of the equipment, and is highly practical and easy to promote and use.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a glue gun anti-rotation structure installed on an industrial robot, comprising a contour clamp, a mounting plate, a clamping plate, a rotating shaft, a sliding block, a cover plate, a rotating sleeve, a swing block, an oil-free bearing, and a pin. The contour clamp is clamped to the arm of the four-axis robot by screws, and the clamping plate is locked to the wrist of the four-axis robot by screws. The mounting plate is fixed to the contour clamp and the clamping plate by screws. The rotating shaft is locked to the mounting plate by screws. The rotating sleeve is sleeved on the rotating shaft and rotates concentrically with the five-axis robot. Two sets of oil-free bearings are installed inside the rotating sleeve. The cover plate is locked to the outside of the rotating sleeve by screws. The rotating sleeve and the swing block are positioned by a pin and locked with screws. A sliding block is slidably arranged on the swing block.
[0005] Preferably, the oilless bearing is fitted between the rotating sleeve and the rotating shaft.
[0006] Preferably, the sliding block is locked onto the pneumatic slip ring by screws, and the sliding block is engaged in the middle of the swing block, sliding parallel within the swing block.
[0007] Preferably, the mounting plate is a Z-shaped carbon steel plate, and the mounting positions of the mounting plate, the conformal clamp, and the clamping plate are adjusted by screws.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This anti-rotation structure can prevent the glue tube, air tube and cable from repeatedly rotating with the six axes of the robot during the glue application operation of the industrial robot, causing them to become entangled and pulled, reducing pipe wear, not affecting the rotation of each axis of the robot, improving process stability, extending the service life of the equipment, and has broad application prospects.

[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0015] Reference Figure 1-4 The specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: a glue gun anti-rotation structure installed on an industrial robot, including a contour clamp 1, a mounting plate 2, a clamping plate 3, a rotating shaft 4, a sliding block 5, a cover plate 6, a rotating sleeve 7, a swing block 8, an oilless bearing 9, and a pin 10. The contour clamp 1 is clamped to the arm of the robot's four-axis 11 by screws, and the clamping plate 3 is locked to the wrist of the robot's four-axis 11 by screws. The mounting plate 2 is fixed to the contour clamp 1 and the clamping plate 3 by screws. The rotating shaft 4 is locked to the mounting plate 2 by screws. The rotating sleeve 7 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4. The rotating sleeve 7 rotates concentrically with the robot's five-axis 12. Two sets of oilless bearings 9 are installed inside the rotating sleeve 7. The cover plate 6 is locked to the outside of the rotating sleeve 7 by screws. The rotating sleeve 7 and the swing block 8 are positioned by the pin 10. The sliding block 5 is slidably arranged on the swing block 8.
[0016] It is worth noting that the mounting plate 2 is a Z-shaped carbon steel plate, and the mounting positions of the mounting plate 2, the conformal clamp 1, and the clamping plate 3 are adjusted by screws.
[0017] This specific embodiment addresses the issue that the ABB industrial robot's five-axis 12 does not have space to install an anti-rotation structure. Instead, the glue gun 14 is mounted on the flange of the industrial robot's six-axis 13, and the anti-rotation structure is mounted on the arm of the industrial robot's four-axis 11. When the robot's five-axis 12 rotates, the anti-rotation structure needs to be able to compensate for the rotation of the five-axis. The connection between the anti-rotation structure and the glue gun 14 can slide relative to each other and meet the robot's speed response requirements. Therefore, the glue gun 14 is equipped with a slip ring, and a structure to prevent the slip ring from rotating is installed.
[0018] In this specific embodiment, the contour clamp 1 is machined according to the cross-sectional dimensions of the robot's four axes. The contour clamp 1 and the clamping plate 3 are installed and locked respectively. The rotating shaft 4 is installed on the mounting plate 2, and the mounting plate 2 is fixed on the contour clamp 1 and the clamping plate 3. The oilless bearing 9 is sleeved between the rotating sleeve 7 and the rotating shaft 4. The rotating sleeve 7 and the swing block 8 are positioned by the pin 10 and locked with screws. The sliding block 5 is locked on the pneumatic slip ring by screws. The sliding block 5 is engaged in the middle of the swing block 8 and slides parallel within the swing block 8.
[0019] Compared to the traditional anti-rotation architecture that is directly mounted on a five-axis robot, this specific implementation method provides structural stability when fixed to a four-axis arm. It does not damage the robot body, has a fast response speed, and does not affect the rotation of each axis of the robot. It can prevent the glue tubes, air tubes, and cables from getting tangled and causing pulling during the glue application operation of the industrial robot, ensuring process stability, greatly extending the equipment life, and has broad market application prospects.
[0020] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
