Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a robotic arm for clamping, pushing and feeding materials in mechanical production. Background Technology

[0002] A robotic arm is an automatic operating device that can mimic certain movements and functions of a human hand and arm to grasp, move objects, or operate tools according to a fixed program. It can replace heavy human labor to achieve mechanization and automation of production. It can operate in hazardous environments to protect personal safety, and is therefore widely used in machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, electronics, light industry, and nuclear energy sectors.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that traditional robotic arms can only clamp and grasp the top of raw materials during the gripping process, but cannot support the bottom of the raw materials. When gripping materials with relatively smooth or fragile surfaces, it is easy for the material to slip when only the top of the material is gripped by the robotic arm. At the same time, excessive clamping can easily cause the robotic arm to damage the outside of the material, affecting its use. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have studied and improved the existing structure to provide a robotic arm for gripping, pushing and feeding materials in mechanical production, in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mechanical production clamping and pushing robot. It can utilize the cooperation of a linear module and a lifting mechanism to enable the electric gripper to be quickly adjusted in both horizontal and vertical directions, so that the electric gripper can clamp the material in the most stable position. At the same time, a drive component is added so that during the material transfer process, the electric gripper rotates the pallet to the bottom of the material, and under the action of a hydraulic cylinder, it supports the bottom of the material, which greatly improves the overall clamping stability.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A robotic arm for clamping, pushing, and feeding materials in mechanical production includes a mounting column. A linear module is horizontally mounted on one side of the top of the mounting column. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the moving block of the linear module. A lifting mechanism is provided on one side of the mounting base. An electric gripper is mounted on one side of the lifting mechanism. Two symmetrically arranged clamping plates are mounted on one end of the electric gripper. A rotating shaft rotates vertically in the middle of the electric gripper via a bearing. A drive assembly is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom end of the rotating shaft. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft. A support plate is fixedly connected to the output bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes two sets of linear guide rails fixed to one side of the mounting base and a second hydraulic cylinder fixed to the top of the mounting base. A movable seat is fixedly connected between the sliders on the two linear guide rails, and the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the movable seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the second hydraulic cylinder is vertically positioned and fixed to the top of the mounting base by a bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a driven gear fixed to the outer periphery of the bottom of the rotating shaft, a driving gear rotating at the bottom of the electric gripper, and a stepper motor fixed to the bottom of the electric gripper via a bracket. The driven gear and the driving gear are meshed together, and the output shaft of the stepper motor is connected to the bottom of the driving gear via a coupling.

[0012] Furthermore, the tray has a T-shaped plate structure, is horizontally positioned, and the end furthest from the mounting column is located below the two clamping plates.

[0013] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is adhered to the top surface of the tray.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] This solution, through the coordinated use of a linear module and a lifting mechanism, enables the electric gripper to make rapid adjustments in both horizontal and vertical directions, allowing it to grip the material in the most stable position. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of a stepper motor, drive gear, and driven gear, the electric gripper rotates the pallet to the bottom of the material during the material transfer process. Under the action of a hydraulic cylinder, the bottom of the material is supported, thus preventing loose gripping or over-gripping that could damage the surface of the material, greatly improving the overall gripping stability.

[0034] Example:

[0035] Please see Figures 1-4 A robotic arm for clamping, pushing, and feeding materials in mechanical production includes a mounting column 1. A linear module 2 is horizontally mounted on one side of the top of the mounting column 1. A mounting base 3 is fixedly connected to the moving block of the linear module 2. A lifting mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the mounting base 3. An electric gripper 5 is mounted on one side of the lifting mechanism 4. Two symmetrically arranged clamping plates 6 are installed at one end of the electric gripper 5. A rotating shaft 7 rotates vertically in the middle of the electric gripper 5 through a bearing. A drive assembly 8 is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom end of the rotating shaft 7. A hydraulic cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 7. A support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 9.

[0036] See Figure 3The lifting mechanism 4 includes two sets of linear guide rails 401 fixed to one side of the mounting base 3 and a second hydraulic cylinder 402 fixed to the top of the mounting base 3. A movable seat 403 is fixedly connected between the sliders on the two linear guide rails 401, and the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable seat 403.

[0037] See Figure 3 Hydraulic cylinder 2402 is vertically arranged and fixed to the top of mounting base 3 by a bracket.

[0038] See Figure 4 The drive assembly 8 includes a driven gear 801 fixed to the outer periphery of the bottom of the rotating shaft 7, a driving gear 802 rotating at the bottom of the electric gripper 5, and a stepper motor 803 fixed to the bottom of the electric gripper 5 by a bracket. The driven gear 801 and the driving gear 802 are meshed together, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 803 is connected to the bottom of the driving gear 802 via a coupling.

[0039] See Figure 2 The support plate 10 has a T-shaped plate structure, is horizontally set, and the end away from the mounting column 1 is located below the two clamping plates 6.

[0041] In use: Check the equipment and connect the power supply. Start the linear module 2 and hydraulic cylinder 402. The linear module 2 drives the electric gripper 5 to adjust its horizontal position, while the hydraulic cylinder 402, in cooperation with the linear guide rail 401 and the movable seat 403, drives the electric gripper 5 to quickly adjust in the vertical direction, so that the electric gripper 5 clamps the material in the most stable position. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 402 lifts the material, and the linear module 2 is used for transfer. At this time, the stepper motor 803 is started. With the cooperation of the drive gear 802, the driven gear 801 and the rotating shaft 7, the electric gripper 5 rotates the pallet 10 to the bottom of the material during the transfer process. Under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 9, the bottom of the material is supported, thereby avoiding loose clamping or over-clamping that could damage the surface of the material, and greatly improving the overall clamping stability.
