Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-4 The present invention relates to a gripping module for screen assembly, comprising a support 1 and a robotic arm 2. A rotary motor 3 is mounted on the output end of the robotic arm 2, and a rotatable connecting frame 4 is mounted on the output end of the rotary motor 3. A rotatable adjusting disk 5 is housed within the connecting frame 4. One end of the connecting frame 4 is equipped with a detection element 6 and several suction cups 7. The suction cups 7 are arranged around the axis of the adjusting disk 5 and slide synchronously with the rotation of the adjusting disk 5. The connecting frame 4 is equipped with a driving element 8 that connects and cooperates with the adjusting disk 5. The rotary motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the robotic arm 2 via an electric frame, which provides stable support for the rotary motor 3, ensuring its stability during operation.

[0022] In use, the robotic arm 2, acting as a moving component, drives the connecting frame 4 and the rotating motor 3 to move in space, thereby achieving efficient and precise screen gripping. The rotating motor 3 allows the suction cups 7 on the connecting frame 4 to rotate and adjust, enabling flexible adjustment of the screen's angle and position while gripping, ensuring accurate placement according to predetermined assembly requirements. Furthermore, the drive unit 8 and the adjustment plate 5 work together to automatically adjust the distance between the suction cups 7, adapting to the gripping needs of screens of different sizes. The detection unit 6 detects the size and angle of the gripped screen in real time, sending corresponding adjustment signals to the drive motor and drive unit 8 to adjust the spacing and angle of the suction cups 7, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the gripping process.

[0023] The connecting frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5 are respectively provided with a guide groove 411 and a sliding groove 51 that cooperate with the suction cup 7. Through the cooperation of the guide groove 411, the sliding groove 51 and the suction cup 7, the suction cup 7 can slide smoothly along a predetermined trajectory during the rotation of the adjusting plate 5, thereby adjusting the distance between the suction cups 7 to meet the gripping needs of screens of different sizes.

[0024] The robotic arm 2 is equipped with a support frame 9, on which a rotatable rotating shaft 91 is mounted. Both ends of the rotating shaft 91 are connected to a rotating motor 3 and a connecting frame 4, respectively. The support frame 9 is fixedly mounted to the robotic arm 2 with bolts. The rotating shaft 91 is mounted to the support frame 9 via bearings. Both ends of the rotating shaft 91 are fixedly connected to the rotating motor 3 and the connecting frame 4 via couplings and pins, respectively. This ensures the stability and reliability of components such as the rotating motor 3, the connecting frame 4, and the adjusting disc 5 during rotation.

[0025] The connecting frame 4 includes a mounting plate 41, a support rod 42, and a connecting plate 43 for cooperating with the rotating motor 3. Both ends of the support rod 42 are connected to the mounting plate 41 and the connecting plate 43 respectively. The driving component 8 is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting plate 43. A guide groove 411 is provided through the mounting plate 41. The support rod 42 is securely connected to the mounting plate 41 and the connecting plate 43 via bolts and threads. The detachable design allows for convenient and quick disassembly and assembly of the connecting frame 4 when maintenance, replacement, or long-term use is required. The connecting plate 43 is equipped with a motor mount for mounting the driving component 8. The motor mount ensures the stability and reliability of the driving component 8 during operation, enabling the driving component 8 to rotate smoothly and efficiently.

[0026] The detection component 6 is an industrial camera or vision sensor. This sensor can capture image information of the screen being grasped with high precision. Through analysis and processing of the image information, the screen's size and angle data can be accurately obtained. This data is transmitted to the control system in real time. The control system, based on preset assembly requirements, sends corresponding adjustment commands to the drive motor and drive component 8. Upon receiving the commands, the drive motor and drive component 8 precisely adjust the spacing and angle of the suction cups 7 to ensure the screen is placed at the predetermined position and angle.

[0027] The suction cup 7 includes a sliding rod 71, a suction nozzle 72, and a threaded head 73. The threaded head 73 has a threaded shaft 731 and a connecting shaft 732 at both ends. The sliding rod 71 and the suction nozzle 72 each have a threaded hole 711 and a connecting hole 721 that mate with the threaded shaft 731 and the connecting shaft 732, respectively. The connecting shaft 732 has a slot 733 on its outer side, and a locking block 722 that mates with the slot 733 on its inner side. Through the engagement of the threaded shaft 731 and the connecting shaft 732 at both ends of the threaded head 73 with the threaded hole 711 and the connecting hole 721, the sliding rod 71, the suction nozzle 72, and the threaded head 73 can all be disassembled and replaced as needed, thus increasing the flexibility and practicality of the suction cup 7. The engagement of the slot 733 and the locking block 722 allows for quick disassembly or installation of the suction nozzle 72, further improving the convenience of replacing or repairing the suction cup 7. The suction nozzle 72 is made of elastic materials such as rubber, giving it excellent sealing and suction power. It can closely adhere to the screen surface, ensuring the stability and safety of the screen during gripping. At the same time, the choice of soft elastic material can also effectively prevent scratches or damage to the screen surface, protecting the integrity of the screen.

[0028] Robotic arm 2 is either a two-axis or three-axis robotic arm. The design of a two-axis or three-axis robotic arm allows the gripping module to move and adjust flexibly in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space, thus meeting the screen gripping needs in different scenarios. A two-axis robotic arm primarily achieves screen positioning and gripping through movement in two directions, suitable for relatively simple assembly lines. A three-axis robotic arm, on the other hand, can move and adjust in three directions, offering greater flexibility and adaptability, suitable for more complex assembly environments and situations with significant screen size variations. In this embodiment, a three-axis robotic arm design is adopted, enabling the gripping module to move and adjust more precisely and flexibly in three-dimensional space. The three movement directions of the three-axis robotic arm are controlled by three independent drive systems. The control system coordinates the control of these three drive systems to achieve precise manipulation of robotic arm 2.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The angle of the suction cup 7 can be flexibly adjusted through the cooperation of the rotating motor 3 and the connecting frame 4. Furthermore, the size of the suction cup 7 can be automatically adjusted through the cooperation of the driving component 8 and the adjusting plate 5 to adapt to the gripping needs of screens of different sizes. In addition, the detection component 6 can send signals to the rotating motor 3 and the driving component 8 according to the size and angle of the screen, thereby achieving precise control over the angle and size of the suction cup 7.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
