Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated feeding technology, specifically a parallel flexible feeding precision spider hand adsorption and clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] Automated feeding refers to the process of automatically conveying and positioning the raw materials, parts or semi-finished products required for production to a designated location according to the set process requirements through automated equipment and systems. Parallel flexible feeding is a mechanical structure that uses multiple independent motion chains (such as connecting rods, guide rails, motors) to jointly drive an end effector (such as a gripper or suction cup). It has small motion errors and is suitable for precision operation. Spider hand is a figurative name for it. The end of the spider hand is connected to an adsorption and clamping device, which completes the adsorption and clamping of the workpiece through the drive device.

[0003] Currently, adsorption and clamping equipment still has some shortcomings, such as difficulty in handling materials of different sizes.

[0004] To overcome the problem of equipment being unable to handle materials of different sizes, a prior art Chinese patent (publication number: CN218395648U) discloses a tooling mechanism that combines adsorption and clamping, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction; the clamping unit includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member, which can clamp the material after abutting with the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and forms a relief cavity that can accommodate the bent portion of the material. This utility model has at least the following advantages: integrating adsorption and clamping into one workstation, thus requiring only one power source, effectively reducing interference and design complexity.

[0005] However, the currently used adsorption clamping equipment still has certain shortcomings. The adsorption clamping equipment mentioned above can ensure the efficiency of material processing by adjusting the direction of the drive unit and the adsorption unit. However, this adjustment method is relatively rigid and is not as effective as directly replacing the wrong adsorption clamping equipment according to different models. Moreover, it is easy to quickly replace the equipment after it is damaged. Therefore, the existing structure needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a parallel flexible feeding precision spider gripper adsorption and clamping device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the spider gripper is inconvenient to change the model of the fixing component, which affects the processing efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a parallel flexible feeding precision spider hand adsorption and clamping device, including a driving assembly, a mounting platform connected to the bottom of the driving assembly, and a fixing assembly mounted on the bottom of the mounting platform.

[0008] The bottom of the fixing component is connected to a suction cup, the side of the fixing component is connected to a clamping block, and the top of the fixing component is fixed to a fixing block. The fixing block is slidably connected to the mounting platform. The top of the mounting platform is fixed to a threaded cylinder, and the side of the threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to a threaded ring. The top of the fixing component is provided with a pressing mechanism that is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0009] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism includes a tapered groove formed on the inner side of the threaded ring, an extrusion block is slidably connected to the top of the threaded cylinder, an extrusion groove is formed on the side of the fixed block, and four extrusion blocks and four extrusion grooves are connected to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the side of the fixing component is provided with an anti-fall mechanism to prevent the workpiece from falling.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting block is fixed to the side of the L-shaped block, and the connecting block rotates on the side of the rotating block away from the large gear.

[0013] Furthermore, a vision sensor is mounted on the side of the external plate away from the rotating block, and a motor is mounted on the side of the external plate close to the vision sensor. The output end of the motor passes through the external plate and is fixed to the side of the pinion.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This parallel flexible feeding precision spider hand adsorption and clamping device allows the fixed block to slide through the mounting table after the extrusion block slides out of the extrusion groove.

The extrusion block can be extruded by the sliding of the threads of the threaded ring and the threaded cylinder, thereby realizing the installation of the mounting platform and the fixing components. It is efficient and the fixing components are also highly stable.

[0017] 3. It is equipped with an extrusion block, which slides through the threaded cylinder. The sliding distance is short and the extrusion block extrudes the extrusion groove with high efficiency, which can improve the installation efficiency of the mounting platform and fixed components.

[0018] 4.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem that the spider arm is inconvenient to change the model of the fixing component 3, which affects processing efficiency: a pressing mechanism is disclosed, including a drive component 1, a mounting platform 2 connected to the bottom of the drive component 1, a fixing component 3 installed at the bottom of the mounting platform 2, a suction cup connected to the bottom of the fixing component 3, a clamping block connected to the side of the fixing component 3, and a fixing block 101 fixed to the top of the fixing component 3. The fixing block 101 is slidably connected to the mounting platform 2. A threaded cylinder 103 is fixed to the top of the mounting platform 2. A threaded ring 104 is threadedly connected to the side of the threaded cylinder 103. A pressing mechanism that is easy to disassemble and assemble is provided on the top of the fixing component 3. The pressing mechanism includes a conical groove 105 opened inside the threaded ring 104. A pressing block 106 is slidably connected to the top of the threaded cylinder 103. A pressing groove 107 is opened on the side of the fixing block 101. Four pressing blocks 106 and four pressing grooves 107 are connected to each other.

[0030] The entire operation of the spider arm is controlled by a controller. Before use, the drive assembly 1 moves the fixing assembly 3 to adapt to the position and angle of the workpiece. The fixing assembly 3 then loads the workpiece using the suction cup at the bottom and the clamping blocks on the side. Since workpieces may vary in type and size, different fixing assemblies 3 must be selected based on the workpiece shape. To improve processing efficiency, the threaded ring 104 can be rotated to slide along the threaded cylinder 103. When the threaded ring 104 slides along the thread, the inclined inner wall of the conical groove 105 no longer presses against the extrusion block 106. When the conical groove 105 moves to a certain position, the fixing assembly 3 can be pulled down. When the 3 is pulled down, it can drive the fixed block 101 to move. When the fixed block 101 moves, it can drive the extrusion groove 107 to move down. When the extrusion groove 107 moves down, the inner wall can extrude the inclined surface of the extrusion block 106. After being extruded, the extrusion block 106 can slide towards the wall of the conical groove 105 through the threaded cylinder 103. When the extrusion block 106 slides out of the extrusion groove 107, the fixed block 101 can slide through the mounting platform 2. After the fixed block 101 slides out of the mounting platform 2, it can drive the fixed component 3 to be disassembled. After the fixed component 3 is disassembled, different models can be replaced. The spider arm has high loading stability and can also improve the replacement efficiency of the fixed component 3.

[0031] Example 2, as follows Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem of workpieces potentially falling and being damaged during the loading of materials by the spider arm. Based on Embodiment 1, an anti-fall mechanism is disclosed: The side of the fixing component 3 is provided with an anti-fall mechanism to prevent workpieces from falling. The anti-fall mechanism includes an outer plate 201 symmetrically fixed to the side of the fixing component 3. A large gear 202 is rotatably connected to the side of the outer plate 201 away from the fixing component 3. An eccentric block 203 is symmetrically fixed to the side of the large gear 202, and a rotating block is rotatably connected to the side of the eccentric block 203. 204. An L-shaped block 205 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the side of the external plate 201. A rubber pad is connected to the upper surface of the L-shaped block 205. A connecting block 206 is fixed to the side of the L-shaped block 205. The connecting block 206 rotates on the side of the rotating block 204 away from the large gear 202. A vision sensor 208 is installed on the side of the external plate 201 away from the rotating block 204. A motor 209 is installed on the side of the external plate 201 close to the vision sensor 208. The output end of the motor 209 passes through the external plate 201 and is fixed to the side of the small gear 207.

[0032] When using the feeding device, the suction cups at the bottom of the fixing component 3 may leak air after prolonged use, or the workpiece surface may be uneven, causing the workpiece to become unstable and eventually fall. Since there are three suction cups, the probability of them failing to hold the workpiece simultaneously is relatively low. While the suction cups are picking up the workpiece, the vision sensor 208 monitors the workpiece's stability. When the vision sensor 208 detects workpiece vibration or when one of the suction cups detaches from the workpiece, it generates a signal that is transmitted to the controller. The controller then sends a command to the motor 209, which starts and drives the pinion 207 to rotate. The rotation of the pinion 207 drives the large gear 202 to mesh and rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric block 203 to rotate. When the eccentric block 203 rotates, it can pull the rotating block 204 to move. When the rotating block 204 moves, it can pull the connecting block 206 to rotate. When the connecting block 206 rotates, it can rotate through the L-shaped block 205. The L-shaped block 205 can rotate through the external plate 201. At the same time, the rotating block 204 can rotate through the eccentric block 203 and the connecting block 206. The rotating L-shaped block 205 can rotate from the top to the bottom of the fixed component 3. The L-shaped block 205 can rotate to the bottom of the workpiece, thereby preventing the workpiece from falling to the ground and causing damage. In addition, the controller will send the signal data monitored by the vision sensor 208 to the operator, so that the operator can handle and maintain it in time, which improves the ease of use of the spider arm.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
