[0034] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0035] Please see Figures 1-10 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a wooden crate handling device, which is set between the drying room 1 and the spray painting room 2. The wooden crate handling device includes a conveyor 3 fixedly set between the drying room 1 and the spray painting room 2. Several limiting plates 4 are fixedly set on the conveyor 3. Clamping parts 5 for holding wooden crates are set at the bottom of the limiting plates 4. Two sliders 43 are symmetrically slidably arranged on both sides of the limiting plates 4. A connecting rod 44 is slidably arranged in each slider 43. One end of the connecting rod 44 is fixedly connected to an elastic baffle 441 for limiting the two sides of the wooden crate. A robotic arm 6 is set on the outside of the spray painting room 2. A handheld part 7 for gripping the clamping parts 5 is set at one end of the robotic arm 6.
[0036] The clamping member 5 includes at least a first support plate 51 and a second support plate 53. A hook 52 is fixedly connected to one end of the first support plate 51. The hook 52 has an inclined U-shaped structure. A first limiting block 54 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first support plate 51.
[0037] The second support plate 53 is fixedly connected to a second limiting block 55 at one end, and the second limiting block 55 is rotatably installed inside the first limiting block 54 at one end. The second support plate 53 is fixedly connected to a first clamping plate 56 at the other end.
[0038] A second clamping plate 57 is slidably disposed on the second support plate 53. The area between the first clamping plate 56 and the second clamping plate 57 is used to clamp the wooden box. A screw 58 is disposed through the first clamping plate 56 and the second clamping plate 57. A nut is threaded onto the screw 58. The screw 58 is rotatably mounted on the first clamping plate 56 and threaded onto the second clamping plate 57. By rotating the screw 58, the second clamping plate 57 is driven to slide up and down to adjust the distance between the first clamping plate 56 and the second clamping plate 57, thereby clamping the wooden box. The nut is disposed between the clamping plates to fix the position of the screw 58.
[0039] It should be noted that the wooden box in this application is a hollow wooden box (such as...). Figure 2 As shown), its top sidewall can be clamped between the first clamping plate 56 and the second clamping plate 57.
[0040] The first limiting block 54 has a groove 541, and the inner wall of the groove 541 is arranged in a circular array with several limiting grooves 542. A protrusion 551 is fixedly connected to one end of the second limiting block 55, and several limiting protrusions 552 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protrusion 551 in a circular array. The protrusion 551 is rotatably installed in the groove 541, and the limiting protrusions 552 are engaged in the limiting grooves 542. The limiting protrusions 552 have a certain elasticity. Therefore, rotating the second limiting block 55 causes the protrusion 551 to rotate. During rotation, the limiting protrusion 552 is compressed under pressure until it rotates into the next limiting groove 542, and a certain force is required to release the limiting protrusion 552. Each rotation angle of the second limiting block 55 is 90°. Therefore, the second support plate 53 rotates relative to the first support plate 51, thereby adjusting the orientation of the wooden box.
[0041] It should be noted that the top of the groove 541 is provided with an annular groove with a diameter larger than that of the groove 541, and the top of the protrusion 551 is fixed with a protruding ring with a diameter larger than that of the protrusion 551. The protruding ring is rotatably disposed in the annular groove. This arrangement can prevent the second limiting block 55 and the first limiting block 54 from separating.
[0042] A fixing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 4. A connecting block 411 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 41. A stop block 412 is fixedly connected to one top end of the connecting block 411. The connecting block 411 has a slot that matches the end of the hook 52. The inner wall of the hook 52 slides and inserts into the outer wall of the connecting block 411. A magnetic block is embedded in the side wall of the connecting block 411. Figure 4 As shown, a magnetic block is also provided at one end of the inner wall of the hook 52. The magnetic block further fixes the upper and lower positions of the hook 52, and the stop block 412 limits the left and right positions of the hook 52 to prevent it from falling off.
[0043] The bottom of the limiting plate 4 has two symmetrical grooves 42. The slider 43 is slidably installed in the grooves 42. The distance between the connecting rods 44 can be adjusted by sliding the slider 43, so that the elastic baffle 441 can adapt to wooden boxes of different widths and maintain lateral support for the wooden boxes. A bolt is provided through the slider 43 for limiting. The bottom of the slider 43 has a long groove 431. The slider 43 also has an installation groove 432 that communicates with the long groove 431. One end of the connecting rod 44 is slidably installed in the long groove 431.
[0044] It should be noted that anti-detachment protrusions are fixed on both sides of the slider 43, and anti-detachment grooves are provided on both sides of the slide groove 42. The anti-detachment protrusions are slidably disposed in the anti-detachment grooves. The anti-detachment protrusions and anti-detachment grooves can ensure that the slider 43 and the slide groove 42 do not detach.
[0045] A spring 433 is installed inside the mounting groove 432. One end of the spring 433 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 432, and the other end of the spring 433 is fixedly connected to the side wall of one end of the connecting rod 44. Therefore, since the connecting rod 44 is located on both sides of the wooden box, when the wooden box enters the paint booth 2 for painting, the paint on both sides will be incomplete. At this time, the second support plate 53 can be rotated to adjust the orientation of the wooden box for painting. During the rotation of the wooden box, the elasticity of the spring 433 allows the connecting rod 44 to make a small displacement when subjected to the lateral force generated by the rotation of the wooden box, thereby adapting to the orientation adjustment of the wooden box during the painting process. This ensures that all sides of the wooden box can be fully painted during the painting process, avoiding the problem of incomplete painting.
[0046] A return spring 61 is fixedly connected at the connection between the robotic arm 6 and the handheld component 7. Its main function is to ensure that after the operator adjusts the position of the handheld component 7, the handheld component 7 can quickly and smoothly return to the initial state. The handheld component 7 includes at least a connecting plate 71. Two fixing blocks 711 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the connecting plate 71. The fixing blocks 711 are trapezoidal. The first support plate 51 is inserted between the two fixing blocks 711. The side wall of the hook 52 is tightly fitted with the inclined surface of the trapezoidal fixing block 711.
[0047] The insertion ends of the two fixing blocks 711 are arc-shaped, which guides the first support plate 51 to be inserted correctly. An elastic layer 712 is fixedly provided between the two fixing blocks 711, and the elastic layer 712 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 71. The elastic layer 712 is Y-shaped and provides a certain protection to its side wall during the insertion of the first support plate 51. The clamping part 5 and the wooden box it clamps are removed from the connecting block 411 together by the hand-held part 7.
[0048] The robotic arm 6 is equipped with a high-precision position sensor, which can monitor the current position and movement status of the robotic arm 6 in real time. This sensor data is fed back to the control system for precise control of the movement of the robotic arm 6. The handheld component 7 is equipped with a force sensor, which can sense the magnitude and direction of the force applied by the operator, which helps the control system to judge the operator's intention and adjust the movement speed and force of the robotic arm 6 as needed.
[0049] In actual operation, the robotic arm 6 can adaptively adjust its movement. When the operator moves the handheld component 7, the position sensor and acceleration sensor capture this movement in real time and feed the data back to the control system. Based on this data, as well as the preset control strategy and motion planning algorithm, the control system calculates the motion trajectory and speed that the robotic arm 6 should take, and then executes this movement by driving the motor of the robotic arm 6 to achieve synchronous up-and-down movement with the operator's actions.
[0050] In addition, data from force sensors is used to monitor the magnitude and direction of the force applied by the operator, ensuring that the robotic arm 6 does not cause unnecessary harm to the operator or the surrounding environment during movement. Meanwhile, the continuous learning and optimization of the adaptive control algorithm allows the robotic arm 6 to gradually adapt to the operating habits and task requirements of different operators, thereby improving the flexibility and reliability of the entire system.
[0051] In practical use, according to the width of the wooden box, the sliding slider 43 adjusts the spacing of the connecting rods 44 so that the elastic baffle 441 can adapt to both sides of the wooden box. The position of the slider 43 is fixed with bolts. The first support plate 51 and the second support plate 53 of the clamping member 5 are placed on the upper and lower sides of one side of the wooden box, respectively. The screw 58 is rotated to drive the second clamping plate 57 to slide down. The spacing between the first clamping plate 56 and the second clamping plate 57 is adjusted until the wooden box is clamped. Then, the nut is tightened to fix the position of the screw 58. The hook 52 is slidably inserted and magnetically attached to the connecting block 411. When the wooden box is transported to the painting room 2 through the conveyor 3, the second support plate 53 is rotated to drive the second limiting block. 55 rotates, and the protrusion 551 rotates within the groove 541 to adjust the orientation of the wooden box. During this process, the limiting protrusion 552 is compressed under pressure until it rotates into the next limiting groove 542. During the rotation, the spring 433 allows the connecting rod 44 to make a slight displacement to adapt to the orientation adjustment of the wooden box. After the painting is completed, the conveyor 3 transports the wooden box and the clamping part 5 back to the drying room 1. Then, the operator holds the handheld part 7 and aligns the area between the fixing blocks 711 with the first support plate 51 and inserts it. Then, the clamping part 5 and the wooden box it clamps are removed from the connecting block 411 together. The removed wooden box is placed in the designated position. The above steps are repeated to process the next wooden box.
[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
