Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nonwoven fabric production technology, and in particular to a nonwoven fabric roll handling robot. Background Technology

[0002] Nonwoven fabric is a type of non-woven material. It is made by directly using polymer chips, short fibers or filaments to form a web through airflow or mechanical means, and then reinforcing it through hydroentangling, needle punching or hot rolling, and finally finishing to form a non-woven fabric. It has the characteristics of being moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, lightweight, flame-retardant, non-toxic and odorless, inexpensive and recyclable.

[0003] After the nonwoven fabric is produced, it is usually rolled into a tube. When transporting it, workers need to lift both ends of the nonwoven fabric roll separately. The labor intensity of workers is high and the handling efficiency is low. Moreover, it is difficult to control the balance of the nonwoven fabric roll when manually handling the nonwoven fabric roll with a large length, which may cause the nonwoven fabric roll to fall or workers to be injured. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a nonwoven fabric roll handling robot, which solves the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual handling of nonwoven fabric rolls in existing technologies.

[0005] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a nonwoven fabric roll handling robot includes a robotic arm and a mounting plate mounted on the robotic arm. Two movable adjusting seats are spaced apart on the mounting plate, and a first drive assembly is pulsatorically connected to each of the two adjusting seats. The first drive assembly drives the two adjusting seats to move closer to or further away from each other. Each adjusting seat has a fixed arm, and the end of each fixed arm has a first clamping plate. The adjusting seat also has a movable arm rotatably connected to the fixed arm and a second drive assembly pulsatorically connected to the movable arm. The end of the movable arm has a second clamping plate, and when the movable arm rotates under the drive of the second drive assembly, the second clamping plate moves closer to or further away from the first clamping plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting plate is also provided with a guide rail, the length direction of which is consistent with the moving direction of the adjusting seat, and the adjusting seat is provided with sliders that cooperate with the guide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, the first drive assembly includes a drive rod rotatably mounted on the mounting plate, the drive rod having two threaded portions with opposite directions of rotation spaced apart, and the adjusting seat having threaded holes that correspond to and cooperate with the threaded portions one by one.

[0008] Furthermore, the first drive assembly also includes a motor disposed on the mounting plate and a first gear disposed at the output end of the motor, and a second gear is sleeved on the drive rod and the second gear meshes with the first gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed arm has a receiving groove at one end away from the first clamping plate to accommodate part of the movable arm. The receiving groove has a mounting shaft and the movable arm has a first mounting hole that mates with the mounting shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the second drive assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder and a piston rod disposed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the piston rod, and the end of the connecting rod away from the piston rod is rotatably connected to the end of the movable arm away from the second clamping plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the oil cylinder away from the piston rod is provided with a mounting seat and the mounting seat is provided with a through hole, and the adjusting seat is provided with a second mounting hole aligned with the through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are respectively provided with V-shaped grooves on the sides that are close to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the V-groove is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting plate is also provided with a mounting disk, which is located between the two adjustment seats and is detachably connected to the robotic arm.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: By using a robotic arm to move the mounting plate, the mounting plate is brought close to the nonwoven fabric roll to be transported. A first drive assembly drives two adjusting seats to move closer or further apart on the mounting plate, adjusting the distance between the two adjusting seats so that they are close to both ends of the nonwoven fabric roll. After the adjusting seats are in place, the robotic arm moves the mounting plate to place the nonwoven fabric roll between the first and second clamping plates. A second drive assembly then drives the movable arm to rotate, bringing the second clamping plate closer to the first clamping plate and clamping the nonwoven fabric roll between them. The robotic arm then moves the mounting plate to transport the nonwoven fabric roll to the designated position. After transport, the second drive assembly drives the movable arm to rotate in the opposite direction, moving the second clamping plate away from the first clamping plate and releasing the nonwoven fabric roll. This achieves the transport of the nonwoven fabric roll, solving the technical problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity in manual transport of nonwoven fabric rolls.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a non-woven fabric roll handling robot, which is used to transport non-woven fabric rolls that have been rolled into a cylindrical shape after production to a designated location for storage.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The nonwoven fabric roll handling robot includes a robotic arm and a mounting plate 1 mounted on the robotic arm. The mounting plate 1 has two movable adjusting seats 2 spaced apart and a first drive assembly 3 respectively connected to the two adjusting seats 2. The first drive assembly 3 is used to drive the two adjusting seats 2 closer together or further apart to adjust the distance between the two adjusting seats 2, allowing the two adjusting seats 2 to approach the two ends of the nonwoven fabric roll to be handled. Each adjusting seat 2 has a fixed arm 4, and the end of each fixed arm 4 has a first clamping plate 41. The adjusting seat 2 also has a movable arm 5 rotatably connected to the fixed arm 4. The second drive assembly 6 is connected to the movable arm 5. The end of the movable arm 5 is provided with a second clamping plate 51. When the movable arm 5 is rotated under the drive of the second drive assembly 6, the second clamping plate 51 moves closer to or away from the first clamping plate 41. When the second clamping plate 51 moves closer to the first clamping plate 41, the nonwoven fabric roll can be clamped between the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51. At this time, the nonwoven fabric roll can be transported by the mechanical arm driving the mounting plate 1 to move. After the nonwoven fabric roll is transported to the designated position, the second drive assembly 6 drives the second clamping plate 51 away from the first clamping plate 41 to release the nonwoven fabric roll.

[0023] Specifically, the steps of the nonwoven fabric roll handling robot provided in this embodiment when handling the nonwoven fabric roll are as follows: First, the robot arm moves the mounting plate 1 close to the nonwoven fabric roll to be handled. Then, the first driving component 3 drives the two adjusting seats 2 to move on the mounting plate 1 respectively, so that the two adjusting seats 2 move closer or further apart to adjust the distance between the two adjusting seats 2 until the two adjusting seats 2 are close to both ends of the nonwoven fabric roll to be handled. After the adjusting seats 2 are adjusted into place, the robot arm moves the mounting plate 1 close to the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 places the nonwoven fabric roll between the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51. Then, the second driving component 6 drives the movable arm 5 to rotate, bringing the second clamping plate 51 closer to the first clamping plate 41. At this point, the nonwoven fabric roll is clamped between the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51. The robotic arm then moves the mounting plate 1 to transport the nonwoven fabric roll. After the nonwoven fabric roll is transported to the designated position, the second driving component 6 drives the movable arm 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, moving the second clamping plate 51 away from the first clamping plate 41, thus releasing the nonwoven fabric roll. The nonwoven fabric roll transporting robot provided in this embodiment can improve the transport efficiency of nonwoven fabric rolls, reduce the labor intensity of workers, improve the production efficiency of nonwoven fabric products, and protect the personal safety of workers during transport, demonstrating high reliability.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mounting plate 1 is also provided with a guide rail 11. The length direction of the guide rail 11 is consistent with the moving direction of the adjusting seat 2, and the adjusting seat 2 is provided with sliders 21 that cooperate with the guide rail 11. The cooperation between the guide rail 11 and the sliders 21 guides the adjusting seat 2 to move on the mounting plate 1, preventing the adjusting seat 2 from deviating from the preset direction when moving. At the same time, it can reduce the friction between the adjusting seat 2 and the mounting plate 1, and improve the stability of the adjusting seat 2 when moving.

[0025] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first driving assembly 3 includes a driving rod 31 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 1. The driving rod 31 has two threaded portions 32 with opposite directions of rotation, and the adjusting seat 2 has threaded holes 22 that correspond to and engage with the threaded portions 32. Because the adjusting seat 2 has threaded holes 22 that engage with the threaded portions 32, when the driving rod 31 rotates, the adjusting seat 2 moves axially along the driving rod 31. Since the two threaded portions 32 on the driving rod 31 have opposite directions of rotation, the two adjusting seats 2 move in opposite directions when the driving rod 31 rotates, thereby adjusting the distance between the two adjusting seats 2. This improves adjustment accuracy and ensures that the two adjusting seats 2 are close to both ends of the nonwoven fabric roll to be transported, preventing the nonwoven fabric roll from tilting and falling off the nonwoven fabric roll transporting robot during transport.

[0026] In detail, the first drive assembly 3 further includes a motor 33 mounted on the mounting plate 1 and a first gear 34 mounted on the output end of the motor 33. A second gear 35 is sleeved on the drive rod 31, and the second gear 35 meshes with the first gear 34. The motor 33 drives the first gear 34 to rotate, and the meshing of the first gear 34 and the second gear 35 transmits the power output by the motor 33 to the drive rod 31. This causes the drive rod 31 to rotate under the drive of the motor 33, thereby moving the adjusting seat 2 on the mounting plate 1. The direction of rotation of the first gear 34 can be controlled by the motor 33 to adjust the rotation direction of the drive rod 31, thereby changing the direction of movement of the adjusting seat 2 on the mounting plate 1. This allows the distance between the two adjusting seats 2 to be adjusted as needed, making the nonwoven fabric roll handling robot suitable for handling nonwoven fabric rolls of various lengths and sizes, thus improving the versatility of the nonwoven fabric roll handling robot.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 3The fixed arm 4 has a receiving groove 42 at its end away from the first clamping plate 41 to accommodate a portion of the movable arm 5. A mounting shaft 43 is provided within the receiving groove 42, and the movable arm 5 has a first mounting hole 52 that mates with the mounting shaft 43. The receiving groove 42 at the end of the fixed arm 4 accommodates a portion of the movable arm 5, and the fixed arm 4 and the movable arm 5 are rotatably connected via the mating of the mounting shaft 43 and the first mounting hole 52, ensuring a reliable connection between the fixed arm 4 and the movable arm 5.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second drive assembly 6 includes a hydraulic cylinder 61 and a piston rod 62 disposed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 61. A connecting rod 63 is rotatably connected to the end of the piston rod 62, and the end of the connecting rod 63 away from the piston rod 62 is rotatably connected to the end of the movable arm 5 away from the second clamping plate 51. The piston rod 62 is moved by the hydraulic cylinder 61, which in turn drives the connecting rod 63 to push or pull the movable arm 5 to rotate relative to the fixed arm 4. This allows the first clamping plate 41 to move closer to or further away from the second clamping plate 51. When the piston rod 62 extends out of the hydraulic cylinder 61, the piston rod 62 drives the connecting rod 63 to push the movable arm 5 to rotate. At this time, the second clamping plate 51 moves closer to the first clamping plate 41 and clamps the nonwoven fabric roll between the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51. The piston rod 62 is held in the corresponding position by the hydraulic cylinder 61, which ensures that the nonwoven fabric roll is kept in a clamped state. After the nonwoven fabric roll is transported to the designated position, the hydraulic cylinder 61 drives the piston rod 62 to retract into the hydraulic cylinder 61. At this time, the piston rod 62 drives the connecting rod 63 to pull the movable arm 5 to rotate. At this time, the second clamping plate 51 moves away from the first clamping plate 41 and releases the nonwoven fabric roll, which can then be placed in the designated location for storage.

[0029] Specifically, the end of the hydraulic cylinder 61 furthest from the piston rod 62 is provided with a mounting base 64, and the mounting base 64 has a through hole 65. The adjusting seat 2 has a second mounting hole 23 aligned with the through hole 65. The hydraulic cylinder 61 is mounted to the adjusting seat 2 by means of screws or other connecting parts passing through the through hole 65 and engaging with the second mounting hole 23. This ensures that the position of the hydraulic cylinder 61 on the adjusting seat 2 remains stable, preventing the hydraulic cylinder 61 from accidentally falling off the adjusting seat 2, and thus improving the structural stability of the nonwoven fabric roll handling robot.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51 are respectively provided with V-shaped grooves 44 on their adjacent sides. With the V-shaped grooves 44 provided on the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51, the nonwoven fabric roll is placed into the V-shaped grooves 44 when the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51 clamp it, thereby increasing the contact area between the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51 and the nonwoven fabric roll. This ensures that the nonwoven fabric roll remains stable between the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51 during transport, preventing the nonwoven fabric roll from falling off.

[0031] In this embodiment, the surface of the V-groove 44 is provided with anti-slip texture. By providing the anti-slip texture in the V-groove 44, the friction between the surfaces of the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51 that contact the nonwoven fabric and the nonwoven fabric can be increased, preventing the nonwoven fabric roll handling robot from slipping when grasping the nonwoven fabric roll and causing the nonwoven fabric roll to detach from the first clamping plate 41 and the second clamping plate 51, thereby further improving the reliability of the nonwoven fabric roll handling robot.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 The mounting plate 1 is further provided with a mounting disc 12, which is located between the two adjusting seats 2 and is detachably connected to the robotic arm. The mounting plate 1 is installed on the robotic arm through the cooperation of the mounting disc 12 and the robotic arm, which not only ensures a secure connection between the mounting plate 1 and the robotic arm but also facilitates the removal of the mounting plate 1 for maintenance and repair, making it convenient for the use of the nonwoven fabric roll handling robot.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
