Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to mechanical technical field relates to a kind of automatic material picking mechanism of simulation green plant. BACKGROUND

[0002] Simulation green plant is more common in prior art decorative, it generally adopts the way of injection molding to carry out mass production, after molding, stripping and cutting in flowerpot are carried out, so that complete flower pot is obtained.

[0003] Before carrying out the above steps, due to the molding structure of mould, many plastic parts produced will be connected together by waste, so waste needs to be cut to obtain the required plastic parts, for this process, waste is often cut in prior art by manual way, the labor cost required is very high, and pruning efficiency cannot be guaranteed. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at the above problems existing in prior art, and proposes an automatic material picking mechanism of simulation green plant, and the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to reduce cost while ensuring pruning efficiency.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be realized by the following technical scheme: an automatic material picking mechanism of simulation green plant, including clamping manipulator, characterized by, the automatic material picking mechanism of simulation green plant further includes support and rotary cylinder fixedly connected on the support, the driving end of the rotary cylinder is arranged away from the support, and the clamping manipulator is fixedly connected with the driving end of the rotary cylinder, the automatic material picking mechanism of simulation green plant further includes material taking manipulator above the clamping manipulator, and the material taking manipulator can move close to or away from the clamping manipulator along vertical and horizontal direction.

[0006] The working principle of the automatic material picking mechanism of the simulation green plant is as follows: the material picking manipulator is driven by the driving member to horizontally translate to clamp the simulation green plant plastic bundle with the material head (waste material) from the hopper. Under the premise of ensuring stable clamping, the driving member drives the material picking manipulator to horizontally translate to the original position, and then moves downward to make the material picking manipulator close to the material clamping manipulator. The material clamping manipulator cooperates with the material picking manipulator to clamp the material head of the simulation green plant plastic bundle. Then, the driving member drives the material picking manipulator to move upward to reset. In this process, the simulation green plant plastic bundle with the material head is affected by pulling forces in two directions, so that the material head is pulled out from the simulation green plant plastic bundle under the influence of the pulling force. In this way, the body and the material head of the simulation green plant plastic bundle are completely separated. In this state, the simulation green plant plastic bundle is clamped by the material picking manipulator, and the pulled-out material head is clamped by the material clamping manipulator. After that, the material clamping manipulator is driven by the rotary cylinder to rotate and tilt downward, and after the material clamping manipulator completes the loosening action, the material head falls into the prepared waste frame. At the same time, the material picking manipulator moves horizontally to reset, and after completing the loosening action, the simulation green plant plastic bundle falls into the prepared material frame. Through the above structure and the above process, the simulation green plant plastic bundle and the material head are quickly separated. While ensuring the pruning efficiency, the manual mode in the traditional technology is replaced, thereby reducing the labor cost.

[0007] In the automatic material picking mechanism of the simulation green plant, the material clamping manipulator includes a lower clamping cylinder and a long strip-shaped and vertically arranged fixed plate. The driving end of the lower clamping cylinder is connected with two oppositely arranged lower clamping claws. The lower clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed plate. The lower end of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the driving end of the rotary cylinder. Specifically, the material picking manipulator includes two parts of the fixed plate and the lower clamping cylinder. The fixed plate connects and fixes the lower clamping cylinder and the driving end of the rotary cylinder. While ensuring the stability of the connection of the lower clamping cylinder, the space reserved between the lower clamping cylinder and the rotary cylinder is large enough to avoid interference between the lower clamping cylinder and the rotary cylinder during the downward rotation of the lower clamping cylinder to drop the material head. The clamping action of the material picking manipulator is realized by the cooperation of the clamping cylinder and the two lower clamping claws connected to the driving end of the clamping cylinder. The two lower clamping claws are driven by the clamping cylinder to approach or move away from each other, thereby completing the clamping and releasing action of the material head.

[0008] In the automatic material picking mechanism of the simulated green plants, the pulling rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower clamping cylinder and protrudes from the driving end of the lower clamping cylinder and is located above the two lower clamping claws. In addition, the pulling rod can assist the lower clamping claws in limiting the material head during the trimming step, thereby ensuring the stability of the material gripping manipulator in gripping the material head. Meanwhile, the material head can be used as a force point during the upward movement of the material picking manipulator, thereby avoiding damage to the simulated green plant plastic bundle when the material picking manipulator is pulled upward.

[0009] In the automatic material picking mechanism of the simulated green plants, the material picking manipulator comprises a top plate in the shape of a long strip and horizontally arranged, two upper clamping cylinders with the driving end arranged downward are arranged at both ends of the top plate, and two upper clamping claws are connected to the driving end of each upper clamping cylinder. Specifically, the top plate is used to carry a plurality of upper clamping cylinders, and the two upper clamping claws connected to the driving end of the upper clamping cylinder are used to drive the simulated green plant plastic bundle to be gripped and released, thereby realizing the separation of the simulated green plant plastic bundle from the material head.

[0010] In the automatic material picking mechanism of the simulated green plants, the material picking manipulator further comprises two installation plates in the shape of a long strip, the two installation plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the top plate and protrude from both sides of the top plate, and a plurality of upper clamping cylinders are fixedly connected to both ends of the two installation plates. As a further specific solution, the installation plates are used to fix the upper clamping cylinders by screws, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection of the upper clamping cylinders.

[0011] In the automatic material picking mechanism of the simulated green plants, the material picking manipulator further comprises a horizontal transverse rail and a vertical vertical rail, the upper end of the vertical rail is slidably connected to the transverse rail, and the top plate is slidably connected to the vertical rail. Secondly, the top plate, the installation plate and the two groups of upper clamping cylinders can slide along the vertical rail and the transverse rail, thereby realizing the movement of the material picking manipulator in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the automatic material picking mechanism of the simulated green plants has the following advantages:

[0013] The movement of the material picking manipulator can clamp the simulated green plant plastic bundle from the hopper and the material gripping manipulator can clamp the material head part of the simulated green plant plastic bundle. When the material picking manipulator moves upward, the pulling force can separate the simulated green plant plastic bundle and the material head. The material picking manipulator can put the simulated green plant plastic bundle into the material frame, and the material gripping manipulator can put the material head into the waste frame, thereby ensuring the trimming efficiency and reducing the labor cost.
