Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the utility model, a dual-position translational manipulator is provided. The manipulator includes a mounting plate 1, a lead screw 2, and a rotary motor 4. The rear end face of the mounting plate 1 is provided with at least two ear plates 11. The ear plates 11 are installed at the left and right ends of the mounting plate 1. The ear plates 11 are provided with ear holes 111 for mounting the lead screw 2. The lead screw 2 is rotatably connected to the ear holes 111. The output end of the rotary motor 4 is connected to one end of the lead screw 2 for driving the lead screw 2 to rotate.

[0032] The lead screw 2 is equipped with at least two sets of gripping modules. The gripping modules include a first slider 51, a first electric cylinder 52a, 52b, a material platform 53, and a gripper. The first slider 51 has a threaded hole for sliding installation on the lead screw 2. The first electric cylinder 52a, 52b are detachably installed on the rear end face of the first slider 51. The material platform 53 is installed on the output end of the first electric cylinder 52a, 52b. The gripper is detachably connected to the material platform 53. Several through holes are provided on the end face of the material platform 53, and the gripper is installed in each of the through holes.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In actual production and processing, the operator can use this robotic arm to simultaneously grab and transport two batches of materials on the same plane. The robotic arm is installed above the materials to be grabbed. The operator powers on the rotating motor 4 to make the drive screw 2 rotate, which drives the first slider 51 to move on the screw 2, thereby adjusting the position of the gripper so that the gripper can be in a suitable gripping position. Furthermore, the two sets of gripping modules can realize the simultaneous gripping of two batches of materials on the same plane. The first electric cylinders 52a and 52b can adjust the longitudinal position of the gripper so that the gripper can be raised or lowered during gripping. Moreover, the two sets of gripping modules can move synchronously at the screw 2, ensuring that the gripping frequency of materials is consistent and improving production efficiency.

[0034] Further as Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment of the utility model, the gripper includes an adjusting rod 541, a spring 542, and an electromagnetic chuck 543. The adjusting rod 541 is detachably installed in the through hole so that the lower end of the adjusting rod 541 extends out of the through hole. The electromagnetic chuck 543 is installed at the lower end of the adjusting rod 541. The spring 542 is installed between the electromagnetic chuck 543 and the material platform 53. The lower end of the adjusting rod 541 is provided with an abutment block 5411. The upper end of the electromagnetic chuck 543 is provided with a sleeve 5431. The abutment block 5411 is movably installed in the sleeve 5431 to restrict the longitudinal movement of the electromagnetic chuck 543.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During the material gripping process, the output end of the first electric cylinder 52a drives the gripper to extend or retract, thereby gripping the material. The gripper can use an electromagnetic chuck 543 to grip the material, which is suitable for products with smooth surfaces. When the operator uses the electromagnetic chuck 543 to grip the material, the operator first powers on the rotary motor 4 to drive the lead screw 2 to rotate, thereby adjusting the electromagnetic chuck 543 to move to a suitable gripping position. The electromagnetic chuck 543 can be moved directly above the material to be gripped, which can ensure a good gripping effect.

[0036] Specifically, the abutment block 5411 is installed inside the sleeve 5431, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the electromagnetic chuck 543 can extend or retract on the adjusting rod 541. The lower end of the spring 542 abuts against the upper end face of the sleeve 5431, and the upper end of the spring 542 abuts against the lower end face of the material platform 53. When the chuck contacts the material, the reaction force of the material causes it to move a certain distance toward the adjusting rod 541. At this time, the spring 542 is compressed by the pressure at the end of the chuck. When the chuck is restricted from moving by the reaction force of the spring 542, a pre-pressure is generated between the chuck and the material to be grasped, and the chuck begins to pick up the material. The spring 542 provides a buffer effect when the chuck grasps the material, preventing the first cylinder from extending too much and causing excessive pressure on the chuck when grasping the material, thus improving the durability of the chuck.

[0037] Further as Figures 3-7As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the material platform 53 includes a fixing plate 531, a connecting block 532, and an abutment plate 533. The lower end face of the fixing plate 531 is connected to the upper end face of the connecting block 532, and the lower end face of the connecting block 532 is connected to the upper end face of the abutment plate 533 to form a double-layer plate structure. The fixing plate 531 is provided with a first connecting hole 5311 for installing the upper end of the gripper, and the abutment plate 533 is provided with a second connecting hole 5331 for installing the lower end of the gripper. The first connecting hole 5311 and the second connecting hole 5331 are located at... On the same axis, the gripper includes a second electric cylinder 544, a guide sleeve 545, and an electromagnetic block 546. The output port of the second electric cylinder is inserted into a first connecting hole 5311. The guide sleeve 545 is detachably installed on the lower end face of the abutment plate 533. The sleeve hole of the guide sleeve 545 corresponds to the second connecting hole 5331. The electromagnetic block 546 extends from the lower end of the guide sleeve 545 through the second connecting hole 5331. The output end of the second electric cylinder 544 is connected to the upper end of the electromagnetic block 546 to drive the electromagnetic block 546 to move within the sleeve hole.

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During the material gripping process, the gripper can use an electromagnetic block 546 to grip the material. It is applicable to magnetic products and materials. When the operator uses the electromagnetic block 546 to grip the material, the operator first energizes the rotating motor 4 to drive the lead screw 2 to rotate, thereby adjusting the electromagnetic block 546 to move to a suitable gripping position.

[0039] Specifically, when gripping materials, the output end of the second electric cylinder 544 can extend from the first connecting hole 5311. The output end drives the electromagnetic block 546 through the second connecting hole 5331 and extend from the lower opening of the guide sleeve 545 to grip the materials. After gripping the materials, the rotating motor 4 drives the lead screw 2 to rotate, thereby driving the first slider 51 to move to complete the transportation of the materials. When the materials are transported to the designated dropping position, the output end of the second electric cylinder 544 retracts, causing the electromagnetic block 546 to retract into the guide sleeve 545. The materials are held by the guide sleeve 545 and fall off the electromagnetic block 546, thereby completing the dropping of the products.

[0040] Further as Figures 5-7 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the rear end face of the mounting plate 1 is provided with at least one slide rail 12, and the front end face of the first slider 51 is provided with at least one slide groove 511 for sliding installation on the slide rail 12.

[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the first slider 51 slides on the lead screw 2, the slide rail 12 can provide guidance for the first slider 51. The number of slide grooves 511 corresponds to the number of slide rails 12. Specifically, two sets of slide rails 12 can be set on the rear end face of the mounting plate 1, and two slide grooves 511 are provided on the front end face of the first slider 51 to ensure the stability of the first slider 51 when sliding, thereby reducing the shaking when transporting materials.

[0042] Further as Figures 6-7 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, a material platform 6 is provided at the lower end of the gripper, and a third electric cylinder 7 is provided at the lower end of the material platform 6. The output end of the third electric cylinder 7 is connected to the lower end surface of the material platform 6 to drive the material platform 6 to move longitudinally. A mounting base 8 is provided at the front end of the material platform 6, and induction switches 9 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the mounting base 8 to obtain the position of the material platform 6.

[0043] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The material platform 6 can adjust the gripping height according to the size of the material to facilitate the gripper's gripping of the material. When the material to be gripped is placed on the material platform 6, the third electric cylinder 7 is energized, causing the output end to push the material platform 6 in the extension direction of the third electric cylinder 7, so that the material platform 6 is raised or lowered longitudinally. The induction switch 9 of the mounting base 8 is used to sense the position of the material platform 6. When the material platform 6 is raised, the induction switch 9 at the upper end of the mounting base 8 detects the material platform 6 and can transmit an electrical signal to the third electric cylinder 7, so that the output end of the third electric cylinder 7 stops extending. At this time, the material platform 6 stops at a certain height, and then the material on the material platform 6 is gripped.

[0044] When reloading is required, the third electric cylinder 7 retracts, causing the material platform 6 to descend. When the induction switch 9 at the lower end of the mounting base 8 detects the material platform 6, it transmits an electrical signal to the third electric cylinder 7, and the output end of the third electric cylinder 7 stops retracting. At this time, the material platform 6 descends to the appropriate loading position.

[0045] Further as Figure 1 and Figures 8-9 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the first electric cylinders 52a and 52b are installed in two ways to control the raising and lowering of the gripper. The first electric cylinder 52a is installed in one way, with its output end facing downwards. When extended, it lowers the gripper; when retracted, it raises the gripper. The first electric cylinder 52b is installed in another way, with its output end facing upwards. When extended, it raises the gripper; when retracted, it lowers the gripper.

[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
