Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical gripper technology, and in particular to a multi-station gripper. Background Technology

[0002] A robotic gripper is a common type of automated mechanical device. It typically consists of multiple robotic arms and fingers, and its movement and gripping operations are controlled by a computer. It can simulate human movements, achieving a high-precision, high-speed gripping process, and is widely used in production lines and factories. The gripping force of a robotic gripper can be flexibly adjusted, and it is highly efficient, stable in operation, and does not suffer from errors or fatigue like manual operation.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN221248863U discloses a multi-station, multi-functional gripper, comprising a housing, a cylinder, and multiple grippers. The grippers are located inside the housing, with an opening at the bottom for the grippers to extend. Each gripper group includes two symmetrically arranged claws, the upper end of which is rotatably mounted inside the housing via a pivot. Each claw's gripping portion is equipped with a buffer mechanism. Gears are fixed to the shaft walls of the multiple pivots, and racks mesh on one side of each gear. A common moving plate is fixed to the upper end of each rack. The cylinder is located above the housing, and a U-shaped connecting rod extending into the housing is fixed to the piston rod end of the cylinder. The downward-facing ends of the U-shaped connecting rod are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate. This invention employs a synchronous drive structure to drive the multi-station gripper, resulting in high precision in material handling, reduced damage, and lower maintenance requirements.

[0004] Multi-station grippers are used to simultaneously pick up or place multiple mechanical workpieces. The connection of the multi-station grippers needs to maintain a balance point in order to achieve the simultaneous picking up or placing of multiple mechanical workpieces. However, existing multi-station grippers are not easy to ensure the balance of the installation connection, which reduces the stability of the multi-station gripper in use. At the same time, when the temperature of the mechanical workpiece is high, it is easy to reduce the service life of the gripper and it is not easy to cool down the mechanical workpiece, which increases the cost of using multi-station grippers and reduces the effectiveness of multi-station grippers.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, this utility model proposes a multi-station gripper, comprising: a base plate 1, a mounting assembly 2, a connecting block 3, a cooling assembly, a gripper assembly 5, and a balancing assembly 6; the mounting assembly 2 is connected to the base plate 1; the connecting block 3 is connected to the mounting assembly 2; the cooling assembly is connected to the mounting assembly 2; the cooling assembly includes a support plate 4, a splicing plate 401, an extension block 402, an arc-shaped sleeve 403, a blower pipe 404, a blower outlet 405, and a pipe body interface 406; the support plate 4 is connected to the splicing plate 401, the splicing plate 401 is connected to the extension block 402, two extension blocks 402 are provided, and the two extension blocks 402 are respectively connected to the arc-shaped sleeve 403. At both ends, the air blowing pipe 404 passes through the arc-shaped sleeve 403, the air blowing pipe 404 is connected to the air blowing port 405 and one end is connected to the pipe body interface 406; the gripper assembly 5 is connected to the mounting assembly 2; the balancing assembly 6 is connected to the gripper assembly 5; the balancing assembly 6 includes a balancing frame 601, a U-shaped plate 602, a moving block 603 and a balancing plate 604; there are two U-shaped plates 602, the two U-shaped plates 602 are connected to the inner wall of the balancing frame 601, and the distance between the two U-shaped plates 602 forms a moving channel, the moving channel is connected to the moving block 603, the moving block 603 is connected to the balancing plate 604, and the balancing plate 604 is connected to the outside of the balancing frame 601. When the moving block 603 inside the balance frame 601 moves and causes the balance plate 604 to move to one side, the multi-station gripper is not installed properly. When the balance plate 604 is in the center position of the balance frame 601, the multi-station gripper is ensured to be installed in a balanced manner, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the gripper in use. The cooling component supports the multi-station gripper component 5 to cool it down, preventing the mechanical workpiece from affecting the service life of the gripper, reducing the cost of using the multi-station gripper, and improving the effect of using the multi-station gripper.

[0036] Further explanation: The gripper assembly 5 includes a mounting frame 501, an upper moving part, a support base 510, and a lower moving part. The mounting frame 501 is connected to one side of the connecting block 3, and circular openings are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 501. The upper and lower moving parts are connected to the mounting frame 501 respectively. The support base 510 is connected to the mounting frame 501 and is used to connect the balancing assembly 6. The connecting block 3 and the mounting block 203 are connected and detachably connected. The connecting block 3 and the mounting frame 501 are detachably connected via flanges, and the connecting block 3 and the mounting block 203 are detachably connected via flanges. This facilitates the installation or disassembly of the multi-station gripper structure according to usage requirements, makes the overall structure easy to store, and improves the practicality of the multi-station gripper structure.

[0037] Further explanation: The upper moving component includes cylinder b502, moving rod a503, gripper plate a504, and clamping plate a505; cylinder b502 is connected to the mounting frame 501 via a mounting base, and the driving end of cylinder b502 passes through a circular opening to connect to moving rod a503.

The periphery of moving rod b507 is connected to gripper plate b508, gripper plate b508 is connected to clamping plate b509, and clamping plate b509 and clamping plate a505 correspond one-to-one. The operation is initiated by cylinders B502 and C506, which in turn drive moving rods A503 and B507 to move in opposite directions. This causes gripper plates A504 and B508 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving gripper plates A504 and B508 respectively. Gripper plate A504 drives clamping plate A505, and gripper plate B508 drives clamping plate B509. This causes clamping plates A505 and B509 to move synchronously toward the workpiece, enabling the gripping, picking up, and placing of the workpiece. This facilitates the use of multi-station grippers and improves the processing efficiency of workpieces.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes a multi-station gripper. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment also details the specific components of the installation component 2 and their cooperation method.

[0040] Further explanation: Mounting assembly 2 includes mounting plate 201, cylinder a202, mounting block 203, support rod 204, and guide members. Mounting plate 201 is connected to base plate 1 and has through holes. Cylinder a202 is mounted on mounting plate 201, and its driving end passes through the through holes to connect to mounting block 203. Support rods 204 are connected to both ends of mounting block 203, and the two support rods 204 are connected to guide members. By activating cylinder a202, the driving end of cylinder a202 moves mounting block 203. Mounting block 203 connects to connecting block 3, and connecting block 3 connects to mounting frame 501, facilitating the adjustment of the gripper assembly 5's position. This, in turn, connects support plate 4 and support rod 204, allowing the cooling assembly to move synchronously, facilitating the coordinated use of the multi-station gripper's overall structure.

[0041] To further explain, both guide components include guide blocks 205 and guide rails 206; guide blocks 205 are connected to guide rails 206, and guide rails 206 are connected to both sides of the mounting plate 201. During the up-and-down movement of the mounting block 203, guide blocks 205 move synchronously and along the guide rails 206, which facilitates smoother movement and improves the usability of the gripper assembly 5.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the multi-station gripper is in use, the gripper assembly 5 picks up or puts down mechanical workpieces, achieving high work efficiency and stable operation in the production line and factory. Furthermore, when the gripper assembly 5 is in use, it connects to the mounting pipe via the pipe body interface 406. The mounting pipe is connected to the fan. When the fan is started, air is drawn in axially by the impeller and sent out along the path of the volute into the mounting pipe. Then, it enters the air blowing pipe 404 through the pipe body interface 406. The airflow is blown out through the air blowing port 405. The air blowing port 405 is aligned with the clamping plates a505 and b509 of the gripper assembly 5, thus cooling the gripper assembly 5 structure and preventing the mechanical workpiece from affecting the service life of the multi-station gripper structure. Simultaneously, the multi-station gripper... The gripper structure is connected to the base plate 1 via the mounting component 2. The base plate 1 is connected to the equipment structure in the production line or factory, facilitating the operation of the multi-station gripper structure. After installation, the multi-station gripper structure is balanced by the balancing component 6 to ensure balance during installation or use. The balancing frame 601 is connected to the support base 510. The balancing frame 601 forms a moving channel through the U-shaped plate 602. The moving channel allows the moving block 603 to move, and the moving block 603 drives the balancing plate 604 to move. If the multi-station gripper structure becomes unbalanced, the moving block 603 moves within the moving channel and drives the balancing plate 604. The position of the balancing plate 604 ensures that the multi-station gripper is installed and balanced, thus improving the stability of the multi-station gripper and increasing work efficiency.

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
