[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Identical parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.
[0026] As shown in the figure, a tube-pulling gripper includes a transition pad 1, a feeding base plate 2 at the bottom of the transition pad 1, and a discharging base plate 3 at the top of the transition pad 1. A feeding cylinder 4 is provided on one side of the feeding base plate 2. The feeding cylinder 4 is provided with a longitudinal feeding mechanism and a transverse feeding mechanism for feeding. A discharging cylinder 5 is provided on the discharging base plate 3. The discharging cylinder 5 is provided with a discharging mechanism for discharging.
[0027] In use, the longitudinal feeding mechanism and the transverse feeding mechanism are moved by the feeding cylinder 4. First, the longitudinal feeding mechanism takes the pipe from the worktable. After taking it out, the longitudinal feeding mechanism places the pipe. Then, the transverse feeding mechanism takes the pipe and places it on the processing table. After processing is completed, the unloading cylinder 5 drives the unloading mechanism to place the finished product in the designated position.
[0028] The feeding cylinder 4, in conjunction with the longitudinal and transverse feeding mechanisms, can accurately transport the pipe fittings from the feeding base plate 2 to the designated position. The unloading cylinder 5 works in conjunction with the unloading mechanism to ensure that the pipe fittings can be smoothly and accurately unloaded from the unloading base plate 3. The transition pad 1, as a component connecting the feeding base plate 2 and the unloading base plate 3, plays a role in stabilizing the structure.
[0029] The longitudinal feeding mechanism includes a left base 6 located on one side of the feeding cylinder 4. A left finger 7 is located on the side of the left base 6 away from the feeding cylinder 4. A pressure block 8 is located above the left finger 7. A movable plate 9 is movably connected to the top of the pressure block 8.
[0030] The left base 6 provides support for the left finger 7, which makes it easier to pick up the pipe. The pressure block 8 can cooperate with the left finger 7 to reduce the offset and shaking of the pipe during movement.
[0031] A pin 10 is provided on the top of the pressure block 8. The two ends of the pin 10 pass through the movable plate 9. A pad 11 is bolted to the top of the movable plate 9. The top of the pad 11 is bolted to the right finger 13.
[0032] The pin 10 serves as a connector, with both ends passing through the movable plate 9, connecting the pressure block 8 and the movable plate 9 together. This connection method allows for a certain degree of relative movement while maintaining the integrity of the structure. The right finger 13 and the movable plate 9 are both bolted to the pad 11, enhancing the stability and connection strength of the structure.
[0033] The transverse feeding mechanism includes a right base 12, a right finger 13 is provided on the side of the right base 12 away from the feeding cylinder 4, and a feeding V-shaped gripper 14 is provided on both sides of the end of the right finger 13.
[0034] The right base 12 provides support for the right finger 13. The shapes of the feeding V-shaped gripper 14 and the feeding groove 15 on the left finger 7 conform to the shape of the pipe. These two parts work together to facilitate gripping the pipe and reduce the offset and shaking of the pipe during the feeding process.
[0035] A placement platform 16 is provided below the left finger 7; the pipes picked up by the left finger 7 and the pressure block 8 can be temporarily placed on the placement platform 16, making it convenient for the right finger 13 to grab them in the next step, completing the feeding and increasing the efficiency of automated feeding.
[0036] A feeding base 17 is provided on both sides of the top of the feeding cylinder 5. A feeding finger 18 is provided on the top of each feeding base 17. A feeding V-shaped gripper 19 is provided on both sides of the end of the feeding finger 18.
[0037] The feeding cylinder 5 provides power for the linear displacement of the feeding finger 18. The two feeding V-shaped grippers 19 cooperate to firmly clamp the pipe, improving the clamping force and ensuring that the material will not slip or be damaged during the handling process. By integrating the feeding cylinder 5, feeding base 17, feeding finger 18 and V-shaped grippers, a highly automated material handling process can be achieved.
[0038] A first reinforcing rib 20 is provided on both sides of the top of the transition pad 1. The top of the first reinforcing rib 20 is bolted to the unloading base plate 3, and its bottom is bolted to the transition pad 1. A second reinforcing rib 21 is provided on both sides of the bottom of the transition pad 1. The top of the second reinforcing rib 21 is bolted to the transition pad 1, and its bottom is bolted to the loading base plate 2. The first reinforcing rib 20 and the second reinforcing rib 21 are provided to form a stable support structure through bolt connection, which enhances the overall stability of the transition pad 1 and its connecting parts.
[0039] Working principle: A number of pipe fittings are stacked on the loading worktable. First, the loading cylinder 4 is used to perform linear displacement, allowing the left finger 7 to extend into the inner ring of the pipe fitting. The left finger 7 cooperates with the pressure block 8 to fix the pipe fitting and transport it to the placement table 16. Then, the left finger 7 and the right finger 13 cooperate to grab the pipe fitting. At the same time, the pressure plate rotates and moves through the movable connection with the movable plate 9, so that the pipe fitting can be clamped by the left finger 7 and the right finger 13. The pipe fitting is placed on the processing table. After processing is completed, the unloading cylinder 5 is used to drive the unloading finger 18, so that the unloading finger 18 can grab the processed pipe fitting and place it in the designated position. This step is repeated.
