[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0020] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides a robotic arm for loading and unloading textile carding, including a robotic arm body 10, the output end of which is connected to a flip shaft 11, and also includes a connecting frame 20, a loading gripping mechanism 30 and an unloading gripping mechanism 40.

[0021] The middle position of the connecting frame 20 is fixedly connected to the flipping shaft 11;

[0022] The feeding gripping mechanism 30 includes a feeding bracket 31, which is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame 20. The feeding bracket 31 is provided with mounting plates 32 at both ends. Multiple pneumatic fingers 33 are provided on the opposite outer sides of the two mounting plates 32, and the pneumatic fingers 33 on the two mounting plates 32 correspond one-to-one.

[0023] The feeding gripping mechanism 40 includes a feeding bracket 41, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting frame 20. The feeding bracket 41 has a rotating shaft 42 at each end. Multiple grippers are rotatably connected to the two rotating shafts 42, and the grippers on the two rotating shafts 42 correspond one-to-one. A transmission shaft 43 passes through the multiple grippers on each rotating shaft 42. Two gripping cylinders 44 are hinged in the feeding bracket 41. The two gripping cylinders 44 are arranged back to back, and the output shafts of the two gripping cylinders 44 are respectively hinged to the two transmission shafts 43.

[0024] The above-mentioned solution is as follows: When the textile carding robot of this utility model is in use, the corresponding pneumatic fingers 33 on the two mounting plates 32 respectively clamp the two ends of the cotton roll carrying the cotton roll. Then, the robot body 10 drives the feeding gripping mechanism 30 to move and transfer the cotton roll to the carding machine, thereby realizing automatic feeding operation. In addition, the robot body 10 can drive the flipping shaft 11 to rotate 180 degrees so that the positions of the unloading gripping mechanism 30 and the feeding gripping mechanism 40 are interchanged. At this time, the unloading gripping mechanism 40 can grab the cotton roll that has been carded on the carding machine. The specific operation is as follows: the two gripping cylinders 44 are extended at the same time, thereby driving the two grippers to rotate towards each other and grab the cotton roll through the transmission shaft 43. Then, the robot body 10 drives the unloading gripping mechanism 40 to move and transfer the cotton roll to the output conveyor belt, thereby realizing automatic unloading operation.
