Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotic gripper technology, specifically relating to a robotic gripper for loading and unloading shaft-type parts. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial processing of shaft parts, it is often necessary to place the raw material of the shaft part on the processing machine, and after processing, the finished product is set aside, and then the raw material is placed on the processing machine again for processing, and so on. Initially, the above steps were done manually. With the improvement of the level of automated production and the increase in market demand, the above steps have gradually begun to be replaced by robotic arms. At first, there was a single gripper robotic arm that would first place the processed raw material, and then pick up the raw material and put it into the processing machine for processing. This operation was relatively inefficient. Later, a two-gripper robotic arm appeared. After removing the processed raw material, it immediately puts the new raw material into the processing machine to start processing, and the operation efficiency was further improved.
[0003] The utility model patent application number 2020200815111, entitled "A Rotating Device for the Finger of a Robotic Hand," discloses a rotating device for the finger of a robotic hand. By installing a cylinder rotating block below the side-mounted cylinder assembly, the first and second claw assemblies are respectively mounted on the two sides of the cylinder rotating block. The side-mounted cylinder assembly drives the corresponding first and second claw assemblies to rotate 90 degrees through the cylinder rotating block to grip and load materials, thereby realizing the robotic hand's simplified loading and unloading of shaft-type parts or disc-type parts. However, the structure is relatively complex and the manufacturing cost is high.
