Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material unloading robot technology, and mainly to a dual-headed robotic arm of an automatic material unloading robot. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, such as cosmetic packaging, products (cosmetic packaging caps) need to be unloaded and palletized for convenient storage and transportation. Steps that previously required manual unloading and palletizing can now be completed by robots, reducing the number of workers and their workload. Robots can repeat the same actions without error and accurately place materials, thus achieving automated production.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN220516848U discloses a loading and unloading robot with a vacuum suction cup. It solves the problem in existing technologies where, when gripping materials with long lengths and widths, such as automotive panels and glass, the device can only grip the material vertically, resulting in poor stability and a large space requirement during loading and unloading. However, this robot only has one working mechanism (vacuum suction cup), which limits its applicability. Furthermore, the vacuum suction cup alone cannot guarantee the stability and safety of the product during transfer, as the suction cup may not hold firmly, causing the product to loosen and fall, resulting in loss. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve some problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a dual-headed robotic arm for an automatic unloading robot.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0023] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 A dual-headed robotic arm for an automatic unloading robot includes a robotic arm 1, which has a multi-axis structure and can move and rotate in multiple directions. The output end of the robotic arm 1 is provided with a connecting plate 2, which is fixed to the output end of the robotic arm 1 by fasteners. Both ends of the connecting plate 2 are provided with connecting frames 3, and each of the two connecting frames 3 is provided with a working head. The two working heads are arranged opposite to each other. The working head on one connecting frame 3 is the first working head 4, and the working head on the other connecting frame 3 is the second working head 8. One working head can be used to adsorb product 12 (cosmetic packaging cap), and the other working head can be used to adsorb pad 11, which has a wide range of applications.

[0024] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 2 The first working head 4 includes a long strip-shaped first support 5 and nine vacuum nozzles 6. The first support 5 is set on one of the connecting frames 3, and the nine vacuum nozzles 6 are equally spaced on the first support 5. The nine vacuum nozzles 6 can simultaneously adsorb nine products 12, which facilitates the handling of the products 12.

[0025] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 3 The second working head 8 includes a long plate-shaped second support 9, nine vacuum nozzles 6, and four vacuum suction cups 10. The second support 9 is mounted on another connecting frame 3. The vacuum nozzles 6 are evenly spaced on the inner ring of the second support 9 and are located at the four corners of the second support 9. The vacuum nozzles 6 and vacuum suction cups 10 work together to ensure that when adsorbing the pad 11, the central area is adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum nozzles 6, while the edge area is adsorbed and fixed by the vacuum suction cups 10. This double adsorption fixation makes the product 12 more secure during movement and prevents it from loosening and falling off.

[0026] The rear ends of the vacuum nozzle 6 and the vacuum suction cup 10 are both connected to the vacuum pump. Through the vacuum pump's vacuuming process, the vacuum nozzle 6 and the vacuum suction cup 10 can firmly pick up the product 12 or the gasket and transfer it.

[0027] Furthermore, a buffer pad 7 is provided on the front end of the vacuum nozzle 6. The buffer kit is made of rubber material, and the buffer pad 7 plays a role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0028] In this embodiment, the pad 11 may be made of glass or plastic.

[0029] In other feasible embodiments, the connecting frame 3 can be a telescopic connecting frame 3, that is, the length of the connecting frame 3 can be adjusted.

[0030] This utility model relates to a dual-headed robotic arm 1 for an automatic unloading robot, and its working principle is explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0031] First, the robotic arm 1 controls the second working head 8 to face downwards, and with the cooperation of the vacuum nozzle 6 and the vacuum suction cup 10, it adsorbs the pad 11 (because the pad 11 is large in size and heavy, the adsorption effect of a single vacuum nozzle 6 or vacuum suction cup 10 is not good), and transfers the pad 11 to the designated position and puts it down; then, the robotic arm 1 changes the orientation of the working head so that the first working head 4 faces downwards, and with the action of the vacuum nozzle 6, it adsorbs the product 12 and transfers the product 12 onto the pad 11 for stacking; when a pad 11 is filled, a new pad 11 is adsorbed and stacked on the product 12, and then stacked in sequence.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
