Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manufacturing technology of bagged material loading equipment, specifically a following material conveying and gripping device with a reasonable structure, adaptable to different loading positions, effectively improving work efficiency and helping to solve the problem of material conveying congestion. Background technology:
[0002] Most commercially available bagged material gripping methods employ either multi-point or single-point fixed-position gripping, which significantly restricts robot movement. Furthermore, the need to calculate the gripping position reduces robot efficiency. Adapting to fixed gripping positions also requires high precision in vehicle parking, hindering efficient loading. In addition, materials are often disordered during continuous transport, making them prone to blockages during gripping. Common bagged material gripping methods malfunction when encountering blockages, requiring waiting for the blockage to clear before resuming normal operation, which significantly impacts loading efficiency. Summary of the Invention:
[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by proposing a follow-up material conveying and gripping device with a reasonable structure, adaptable to different loading positions, effectively improving work efficiency, and helping to solve the problem of material conveying congestion.
[0004] This utility model achieves its purpose through the following measures:
[0005] A follow-up material conveying and gripping device is provided with a feeding conveyor line and a gripping conveyor line. The gripping conveyor line is horizontally arranged, the front end of the feeding conveyor line and the rear end of the gripping conveyor line are hinged by a hinge shaft, the feeding conveyor line hangs down at the rear of the gripping conveyor line, and a lifting mechanism is provided for lifting the feeding conveyor line around the hinge shaft.
[0006] The lifting mechanism described in this utility model uses a cylinder or electric push rod, with one end installed on the bag-grabbing conveyor line and the other end connected to the feeding conveyor line, for pushing up the feeding conveyor line.
[0007] The package grabbing conveyor line of this utility model includes a package grabbing conveyor frame, and a motor, a reducer, conveying rollers and sensors installed on the package grabbing conveyor frame. Two or more conveying rollers are installed side by side on the frame of the package grabbing conveyor line. The motor is connected to the reducer and drives the conveying rollers to rotate through a transmission chain. The two or more conveying rollers are divided into two groups, and the two groups are driven by two motors to operate synchronously, which can realize the operation and stop of the two sections of the roller line respectively. A baffle is also provided at the front end of the package grabbing conveyor line.
[0008] The front end of the grabbing conveyor described in this utility model is provided with a fixed baffle. The fixed baffle is installed on the frame of the grabbing conveyor and its function is to prevent the material from falling off the front end of the roller line if the roller line stops in time.
[0009] The grabbing conveyor line of this utility model is equipped with two sets of position sensors, which are used to detect the material arrival status on two sets of independently and synchronously operating conveyor rollers. Both sets of position sensors are set on the side of the grabbing conveyor line frame.
[0010] The feeding conveyor line described in this utility model adopts a conveyor belt type conveyor line.
[0011] This utility model also includes a slide bracket, which is located below the grabbing conveyor line and can be connected to the robot mounting base, so that the grabbing conveyor line moves with the robot. In use, the grabbing manipulator or grabbing robot is mounted on the robot mounting base, and the robot mounting base is connected to the slide bracket below the grabbing conveyor line. The slide bracket is equipped with rollers, so that both the robot mounting base and the grabbing conveyor line are equipped with rollers and can move on the guide rail. When the robot mounting base moves on the walking axis, it can drive the grabbing conveyor line to move together.
[0012] In use, this mechanism is connected to the robot mounting base and moves with the robot. Material enters the feeding conveyor line via a long conveyor line. After the feeding conveyor line delivers the material to the grabbing conveyor line, the grabbing conveyor line begins operation. The grabbing conveyor line consists of a motor, reducer, rollers, and sensors. The motor, connected to the reducer, drives the rollers to rotate via chain drive. After the material enters the grabbing conveyor line, the rollers rotate, propelling the material forward. When the position sensor near the baffle detects material, the rollers near the baffle decelerate and stop rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to await the second bag of material. The second bag of material enters the grabbing conveyor line via the first feeding conveyor line. When the sensor away from the baffle detects material, the remaining rollers decelerate and stop rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to await the robot's grabbing. After the robot completes the grabbing, the rollers begin rotating, repeating the above process. Furthermore, when the conveyor line becomes clogged, the lifting mechanism starts working, raising the feeding conveyor line to clear the blockage. When the sensor at the end of the feeding conveyor line detects no material below, the lifting mechanism retracts, and the feeding conveyor line falls back down to resume normal operation.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages such as reasonable structure, adaptability to different loading positions, effective improvement of work efficiency, and help to solve the problem of material conveying congestion. Attached image description:

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this example provides a following material conveying and gripping device, which includes a feeding conveyor line 2 and a gripping conveyor line 1. The gripping conveyor line 1 is set horizontally, and the front end of the feeding conveyor line 2 is hinged to the rear end of the gripping conveyor line 1 via a hinge shaft. The feeding conveyor line 2 hangs down at the rear of the gripping conveyor line. A lifting mechanism 4 is also provided for lifting the feeding conveyor line 2 around the hinge shaft.
[0019] In this example, the lifting mechanism 4 uses a cylinder or electric push rod, with one end installed on the bag-grabbing conveyor line 1 and the other end connected to the feeding conveyor line 2, for pushing up the feeding conveyor line 2, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 As shown, in this example, the bottom end of the lifting mechanism 4 is installed on the slide bracket 3 below the grabbing conveyor line 1;
[0020] The slide bracket 3 is located below the grabbing conveyor line 1 and can be connected to the robot mounting base 7, so that the grabbing conveyor line 1 moves with the robot. In use, the grabbing manipulator or grabbing robot is mounted on the robot mounting base 7. The robot mounting base 7 is connected to the slide bracket 3 below the grabbing conveyor line 1. The slide bracket 3 is equipped with rollers, so that both the robot mounting base 7 and the grabbing conveyor line 1 are equipped with rollers and can move on the guide rail. When the robot mounting base 7 moves on the walking axis, it can drive the grabbing conveyor line 1 to move together.
[0021] The package grabbing conveyor line 1 described in this example includes a package grabbing conveyor frame 1.1, and a motor, a reducer, conveyor rollers, and sensors mounted on the frame 1.1. Two or more conveyor rollers are mounted side-by-side on the frame of the package grabbing conveyor line 1. The motor is connected to the reducer and drives the conveyor rollers to rotate via a transmission chain, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 2As shown, in this example, two or more conveyor rollers are divided into two groups, and the two groups are driven by two motors to operate synchronously, which can realize the operation and stop of the two sections of roller line respectively. The front end of the grabbing conveyor line is also equipped with a baffle; the front end of the grabbing conveyor line is equipped with a fixed baffle 5, which is installed on the frame of the grabbing conveyor line. Its function is to prevent the material from falling at the front end of the roller line if the roller line stops in time.
[0022] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the grabbing conveyor line is equipped with two sets of position sensors, which are used to detect the material position on the two sets of independently and synchronously operating conveyor rollers. Both sets of position sensors are located on the side of the grabbing conveyor line frame.
[0023] In this example, the feeding conveyor line 2 is a conveyor belt type conveyor line;
[0024] In operation, the gripping mechanism is connected to the robot mounting base 7, and the bag-grabbing conveyor line 1 is also connected to the robot mounting base 7, moving with the robot. Material enters the feeding conveyor line 1 via a long conveyor line. After the feeding conveyor line delivers the material to the bag-grabbing conveyor line 2, the bag-grabbing conveyor line begins operation. The bag-grabbing conveyor line consists of a motor, reducer, rollers, and sensors. The motor, connected to the reducer, drives the rollers to rotate via chain drive. After the material enters the bag-grabbing conveyor line 2, the rotating rollers propel the material forward. When the material approaches the position sensor (as shown in the attached image) near the baffle... Figure 1 As shown (1.2 is the sensor near the baffle, 1.3 is the sensor away from the baffle), when material is detected, the rollers near the baffle slow down and stop rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to wait for the second bag of material. The second bag of material enters the 2-bag grabbing conveyor line via the 1-feeding conveyor line. When the sensor away from the baffle detects material, the remaining rollers slow down and stop rotating, stopping the material in a fixed position to wait for the robot to grab it. After the robot completes the grabbing, the rollers start rotating, and the above process is repeated. In addition, when the conveyor line is blocked, the 4-lifting mechanism starts working, lifting the 1-feeding conveyor line to clear the blockage. When the sensor at the end of the 1-feeding conveyor line detects no material below, the lifting mechanism retracts, and the feeding conveyor line falls down to resume normal operation.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has significant advantages such as reasonable structure, adaptability to different loading positions, effective improvement of work efficiency, and help to solve the problem of material conveying congestion.
