Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] Overall structural framework

[0023] The robot's automatic bearing gripping mechanism mainly includes a mounting frame 1, which serves as the basic support component of the entire mechanism. Its bottom end is connected to a Y-shaped guide frame 103 via a mounting shaft 102. A fixing seat 101, which is fixed to the bottom end of the mounting frame 1, is installed at the top end of the mounting shaft 102. This design ensures the stability of the connection between the mounting shaft 102 and the mounting frame 1. The side of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a connection hole 104, which facilitates connection with external robot arms and other equipment to realize the movement and operation of the entire mechanism. The surface of the mounting frame 1 is provided with fixing holes 105, which can be used to install other auxiliary components or perform additional fixing operations.

[0024] The bottom end of the Y-shaped guide frame 103 is provided with guide rails 106. Symmetrically distributed inner diameter grippers 5 and outer diameter grippers 8 are slidably mounted on the guide rails 106. This structural design allows the inner diameter grippers 5 and outer diameter grippers 8 to move flexibly on the guide rails 106, thereby adapting to the gripping needs of bearings of different sizes.

[0025] Powertrain system

[0026] The mounting bracket 1 has cylinders 3 installed on its side to provide power to the upper Y-shaped plate 6 and the lower Y-shaped plate 7. U-shaped seats 2 connected to the bottom of the cylinders 3 are installed on both sides of the mounting bracket 1. U-shaped seats 4 connected to the top of the cylinders 3 are installed on the surfaces of the upper Y-shaped plate 6 and the lower Y-shaped plate 7. Through the extension and retraction of the cylinders 3, the upper Y-shaped plate 6 and the lower Y-shaped plate 7 can perform corresponding movements. When the cylinders 3 extend, they push the upper Y-shaped plate 6 and the lower Y-shaped plate 7 to move in a specific direction; when the cylinders 3 retract, the upper Y-shaped plate 6 and the lower Y-shaped plate 7 move in the opposite direction. This power transmission method is simple and efficient, and can quickly and accurately control the movement of the grippers.

[0027] Inner diameter gripper structure

[0028] The inner diameter gripper 5 includes a jaw frame 501 fitted around the Y-shaped guide frame 103. Inside the jaw frame 501 is a guide rail seat 502 that slides on the guide rail 106. The guide rail seat 502 ensures the stability and smoothness of the jaw frame 501 sliding on the guide rail 106. A connecting shaft 503 is installed at the top of the jaw frame 501. An arc-shaped guide hole 601 is provided on the upper Y-shaped plate 6 at the position corresponding to the connecting shaft 503. A bearing 504 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 503 inside the arc-shaped guide hole 601. A through hole 702 is provided on the lower Y-shaped plate 7 at the position corresponding to the connecting shaft 503. When the cylinder 3 drives the upper Y-shaped plate... When the template 6 moves, the connecting shaft 503 moves within the arc-shaped guide hole 601. Due to the special shape of the arc-shaped guide hole 601, the orifice frame 501 can move linearly along the guide rail 106, thereby enabling the inner diameter gripper 5 to grip bearings of different inner diameters.

[0029] An L-shaped plate 506 is provided below the mouth-shaped frame 501. The top of the L-shaped plate 506 is fixed to the bottom of the mouth-shaped frame 501 by a connecting plate 505. An L-shaped pad 508 is installed on the surface of the L-shaped plate 506 corresponding to the outer diameter gripper 8. The L-shaped pad 508 can buffer and protect the bearing during the gripping process, reducing damage to the bearing surface. A fixing plate 507 is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 506 to support the L-shaped pad 508. The fixing plate 507 ensures the stability of the L-shaped pad 508 during operation.

[0030] Outer diameter gripper structure

[0031] The outer diameter gripper 8 includes a two-hole frame 801 sleeved on the outside of the Y-shaped guide frame 103. A connecting shaft 803 is installed at the top of the two-hole frame 801. An arc-shaped guide hole 701 is opened on the lower Y-shaped plate 7 at the position corresponding to the connecting shaft 803. A bearing 804 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 803 inside the arc-shaped guide hole 701. A guide rail seat 802 that slides on the guide rail 106 is installed inside the two-hole frame 801. When the cylinder 3 drives the lower Y-shaped plate 7 to move, the connecting shaft 803 moves in the arc-shaped guide hole 701, thereby causing the two-hole frame 801 to move linearly along the guide rail 106, realizing the gripping operation of the outer diameter gripper 8 on bearings of different outer diameters.

[0032] The bottom structure of the second jaw frame 801 is symmetrically arranged with the bottom structure of the first jaw frame 501. This symmetrical structure design ensures the balance and stability of the entire clamping mechanism when gripping bearings of different sizes, and can better adapt to the gripping needs under various working conditions.

[0033] When using

[0034] When it is necessary to grip the bearing, first adjust the position of the upper Y-shaped plate 6 and the lower Y-shaped plate 7 by controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder 3 according to the inner and outer diameter of the bearing. For example, if you want to grip the bearing with a smaller inner diameter, control the cylinder 3 to move the upper Y-shaped plate 6 closer to the bearing. As the upper Y-shaped plate 6 moves, the connecting shaft 503 moves in the arc-shaped guide hole 601. Due to the guiding effect of the arc-shaped guide hole 601, the orifice frame 501 drives the inner diameter gripper 5 to move along the guide rail 106 towards the inner diameter of the bearing until the inner diameter gripper 5 can stably hold the inner diameter of the bearing.

[0035] To grip a bearing with a large outer diameter, control cylinder 3 to move the lower Y-shaped plate 7 away from the bearing. The movement of the lower Y-shaped plate 7 drives the connecting shaft 803 to move within the arc-shaped guide hole 701, thereby causing the orifice frame 801 to move the outer diameter gripper 8 along the guide rail 106 away from the bearing center until the outer diameter gripper 8 can stably hold the outer diameter of the bearing.

[0036] During the clamping process, the L-shaped liner-508 and other buffer structures can contact the bearing surface to reduce damage to the bearing. After the bearing is clamped, the bearing is moved to the designated position by an external robot arm or other equipment connected to the mounting frame 1. Then, the cylinder 3 is controlled to reverse, causing the inner diameter gripper 5 and the outer diameter gripper 8 to release the bearing, thus completing one gripping and handling operation.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
