Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arm technology, specifically to a robotic arm material gripping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A robotic arm is an automated 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. Its basic structure typically includes an actuator, a drive mechanism, and a control system. With the continuous advancement of technology, the development of robotic arms is showing trends such as high precision, high speed, high flexibility, intelligence, and miniaturization.

[0003] As a key component of a robotic arm, the material gripping mechanism directly affects the gripping performance and applicability of the robotic arm. It typically consists of a hand, a transmission device, and a drive element. The hand is the part that directly contacts the material and performs the gripping action. The transmission device transmits the power from the drive source to the hand, enabling the hand to perform actions such as opening, closing, and rotating. The drive element provides power to the material gripping mechanism.

[0004] Existing robotic arm material handling mechanisms typically grip and pick up materials through the closed-loop action of two grippers. However, since the grippers usually clamp the material from both sides, excessive gripping force can easily cause wear and crushing damage to the material, while insufficient gripping force can cause the material to fall off. This results in reduced effectiveness and safety of the robotic arm material handling mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated robotic arm material handling mechanism includes a support base 1, a robotic arm 2, a gripping mechanism 3, and a pressing mechanism 4. The robotic arm 2 is fixedly mounted on the support base 1, which supports and fixes the robotic arm 2. The gripping mechanism 3 is fixedly mounted on the robotic arm 2 and is used to grip materials, thereby facilitating material transportation and loading. The pressing mechanism 4 is fixedly mounted on the gripping mechanism 3 and is used to press down and fix the materials gripped by the gripping mechanism 3, thereby improving the stability of the materials on the gripping mechanism 3.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 The gripping mechanism 3 includes a clamping plate 31, a mounting plate 32, a lifting mechanism 36, and a moving mechanism 37. The mounting plate 32 is fixedly mounted on the robotic arm 2, and the gripping mechanism 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 32. The clamping plate 31 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 32 via the moving plate 33. There are two sets of clamping plates 31 symmetrically distributed. The movement of the moving plate 33 can drive the clamping plates 31 to move, thereby causing the two clamping plates 31 to open or close. The lifting mechanism 36 is hingedly mounted on the clamping plate 31. The lifting mechanism 36 is used to lift the material. The lifting mechanism 36 can support the bottom of the material, thereby preventing the material from falling off the clamping plate 31. The moving mechanism 37 is fixedly mounted on the clamping plate 31. The moving mechanism 37 is used to drive the lifting mechanism 36 and the pressing mechanism 4 to move. The moving mechanism 37 can simultaneously drive the lifting mechanism 36 and the pressing mechanism 4 to move, thereby fixing the upper and lower sides of the material.

[0028] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The lifting mechanism 36 includes a lifting plate 361 and a sliding rod 362. The lifting plate 361 is hinged to the clamping plate 31. The hinge of the lifting plate 361 allows it to flip. The sliding rod 362 is connected to the lifting plate 361 by a connecting block 363 and passes through the clamping plate 31. The movement of the sliding rod 362 can drive the connecting block 363 to move. The two ends of the connecting block 363 are hinged to the sliding rod 362 and the lifting plate 361 respectively. The movement of the connecting block 363 can drive the lifting plate 361 to rotate. When the lifting plate 361 rotates to a horizontal position, it supports the material. When the lifting plate 361 rotates to a vertical position, it releases the material.

[0029] Reference Figure 5The lifting mechanism 36 also includes a sliding sleeve 364, a connecting plate 365, and a cylindrical block 366.

The moving block 373 is slidably installed on the clamping plate 31, and the moving block 373 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 371.

The hinge block 374 is hinged to the moving block 373 via the hinge post 375, and is also hinged to the cylindrical block 366. The movement of the hinge post 375 causes the hinge block 374 to move the cylindrical block 366, thereby causing the connecting plate 365 to move. The hinge block 376 is hinged to the moving block 373 via the hinge post 377. The movement of the hinge post 377 causes the hinge block 376 to move the cylindrical block 45, thereby causing the square rod 41 to move.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 The pressing mechanism 4 includes a square rod 41, a cylindrical rod 42, a pressure plate 44, a cylindrical block 45, and an adjusting mechanism 46. The cylindrical rod 42 is fixedly installed on the square rod 41 and passes through the clamping plate 31. The movement of the square rod 41 can drive the cylindrical rod 42 to move, thereby driving the adjusting mechanism 46 to move, and then driving the pressure plate 44 to move. The pressure plate 44 is slidably connected to the cylindrical rod 42 through a sleeve 43. The sliding effect of the sleeve 43 can drive the pressure plate 44 to move. The cylindrical block 45 is fixedly installed on the square rod 41. The movement of the cylindrical block 45 can drive the square rod 41 to move. The adjusting mechanism 46 is fixedly installed on the cylindrical rod 42.

[0032] Reference Figure 7The adjusting mechanism 46 also includes a housing 461, a threaded rod 462, a slider 464, and a guide rod 465. The housing 461 is fixedly mounted on the cylindrical rod 42, preventing it from falling off. The slider 464 is slidably mounted on the housing 461, and its sliding action drives the hinge rod 463 to move. The threaded rod 462 is rotatably mounted on the housing 461, and is threadedly connected to the slider 464. The rotation of the threaded rod 462... The guide rod 465 is fixedly installed on the housing 461 and passes through the slider 464. The guide rod 465 guides the slider 464 and prevents the slider 464 from deviating during movement. The slider 464 and the pressure plate 44 are connected by a hinge rod 463. The two ends of the hinge rod 463 are hinged to the slider 464 and the pressure plate 44 respectively. The movement of the hinge rod 463 can drive the pressure plate 44 to move vertically, thereby fine-tuning the initial position of the pressure plate 44.
