[0002] For insert composite and pure aluminum type heating radiator, generally adopt the way of medium-pressure die casting to form processing. Among them, in the process of insert composite heating radiator, the die casting die must be placed to the matched fluid pipe (hereinafter referred to as insert), before die casting, the insert must be placed in the die casting die. The existing technology generally adopts manual operation to realize the action of insert placement and die casting part taking, and the working mode has the defects of high labor intensity and high labor cost. Some adopt six-axis robot arm to realize automatic die casting production equipment, which needs to be equipped with end gripper suitable for the product, which greatly reduces the labor intensity. In automatic die casting production, the production process of insert composite heating radiator is complex (inserted workpiece gripper grabbing inspection, inserted workpiece mold mounting in-place inspection, finished product die casting mold taking-out inspection, finished product and gripper separation inspection, etc.), and ordinary gripper has less step sequence detection, which is easy to cause defective products and even cause die damage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described below in a clear and complete manner in conjunction with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.
[0026] Embodiment:
[0027] As Figs. 1 to 5As shown, a robotic end-effector for producing heating radiators includes a connecting flange 1, a gripper arm 2, and a gripper assembly 3. The gripper assembly 3 has two sets, both of which are mounted on the gripper arm 2. The right end of the gripper arm 2 is fixed with a connecting flange 1 for mounting the end-effector onto the robotic arm.
[0028] The gripper assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 34, static positioning grippers 35, separation pneumatic push rods 36, tensioning pneumatic push rods 310, a fine-tuning connecting plate 311, and dynamic positioning grippers 312. Two sets of static positioning grippers 35 are mounted on the left side of the upper end face of the mounting plate 34. Two sets of separation pneumatic push rods 36 are symmetrically fixed at the middle position of the upper end face of the mounting plate 34. A second sensor 38 is mounted on the separation pneumatic push rod 36. A first sensor 37 is mounted on the mounting plate 34 at the corresponding position in front of the separation pneumatic push rod 36. A tensioning pneumatic push rod 310 is mounted on the right side of the upper end face of the mounting plate 34. A third sensor 39 is mounted on the tensioning pneumatic push rod 310. The output end of the tensioning pneumatic push rod 310 is fixedly connected to the fine-tuning connecting plate. On plate 311, a linear slider 313 is adjustablely connected to the bottom of the fine-tuning plate 311. The linear slider 313 is equipped with a moving positioning gripper 312. The moving positioning gripper 312 is moved by the tensioning pneumatic push rod 310 to adjust the spacing for clamping and positioning the workpiece. A linear slide rail 314 is slidably connected to the bottom of the linear slider 313. The linear slide rail 314 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 34. The bottom structure of the mounting plate 34 is the same as that of its upper side, and the bottom components are staggered from the upper components. The static positioning gripper 35 on one side works with the moving positioning gripper 312 to grip two inserts, and the static positioning gripper 35 on the other side works with the moving positioning gripper 312 to grip two finished workpieces.
[0029] In this embodiment, the clamp arm 2 is composed of two arm plates, and the mounting plate 34 of the clamping jaw assembly is clamped between the two arm plates. A connecting flange 1 is fixed at its right end.
[0030] In this embodiment, protective covers 31 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 34. The protective covers 31 are provided with matching gripper holes 32 and push rod grooves 33 at the corresponding positions of the static positioning gripper 35, the dynamic positioning gripper 312 and the separation pneumatic push rod 36.
[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 34 is provided with multiple sets of static positioning jaw 35 mounting holes, which are not limited to threaded holes, for quickly adjusting the spacing of the static positioning jaw 35 to adapt to different product specifications.
[0032] In this embodiment, the specifications of the moving positioning jaw 312 are the same as those of the static positioning jaw 35, and the length of the moving positioning jaw 312 is less than that of the static positioning jaw 35. The upper ends of the two are flush. The static positioning jaw 35 has a domed conical structure with radial holes that facilitate disassembly and assembly. The radial holes can provide a force point for disassembly and assembly tools, allowing external tools such as screwdrivers to be inserted and rotated to disassemble and assemble the positioning jaw.
[0033] In this embodiment, the separating pneumatic push rod 36 is perpendicular to the mounting plate 34, and an elastic pad is installed at its output end. The separating pneumatic push rod 36 is used to achieve efficient, fast and stable ejection insert loading into the mold process and forced separation of the finished product from the fixture. At the same time, the elastic pad is used for buffering to reduce the impact on the workpiece when the separating pneumatic push rod 36 extends or retracts.
[0034] In this embodiment, the static positioning gripper 35, the separation pneumatic push rod 36, the dynamic positioning gripper 312, and the tensioning pneumatic push rod 310 are all connected to an external air source through air pipes.
[0035] The working principle of the end effector of a robotic arm used in the production of heating radiators:
[0036] In practical implementation, the static positioning jaw 35 on one side of the two sets of gripper assemblies 3, in conjunction with the dynamic positioning jaw 312, is used to grip two inserts, while the static positioning jaw 35 on the other side, in conjunction with the dynamic positioning jaw 312, is used to grip two finished workpieces. The gripper assembly 3 holds the workpieces by micro-movement of the dynamic positioning jaw 312. When gripping the inserts, the static positioning jaw is in a fixed position, while the dynamic positioning jaw 312 and the separation pneumatic push rod 36 are in a retracted state. The static positioning jaw and the dynamic positioning jaw 312 are inserted into both ends of the insert, and the tensioning pneumatic push rod 310 pushes the micro-adjustment plate 311 and the dynamic positioning jaw 312 to move, thereby increasing the spacing between the positioning jaws to tighten and grip the insert. At this time, the third sensor 39 detects the position of the tensioning pneumatic push rod 310, and sends a gripping completion signal after it reaches its position. When the insert is loaded into the mold, after the robot arm drives the end gripper to reach the required relative position with the mold, the tensioning pneumatic push rod 310 retracts, the fine-tuning connecting plate 311 and the moving positioning gripper 312 lose their forced external pushing force, and the third sensor 39 detects the positioning and sends a retraction completion signal. At this time, the separation pneumatic push rod 36 extends, and the push rod moves rapidly to form a projectile state, sending the insert to the designed position. The second sensor 38 detects that the separation pneumatic push rod 36 has reached the preset extension position and sends an insert completion signal. The finished product removal is consistent with the insert gripping process, and the finished product separation is consistent with the insert loading process.
[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
