Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a card release device based on a spring gripper, which is particularly suitable for devices and systems that require frequent card storage and retrieval operations, such as card readers and automated testing equipment, and aims to improve the efficiency, accuracy and reliability of card processing. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous card processing devices and systems, such as card readers and testing equipment, card storage and retrieval operations are crucial. The traditional method involves a robotic arm gripping the card, aligning it with the card slot, pushing it fully in, and then releasing the gripper to retain the card. However, this method has significant drawbacks. Releasing the gripper prematurely may cause the card to fall and be damaged, while releasing it too late may cause interference between the robotic arm and the card or card slot during withdrawal. Furthermore, traditional robotic grippers have complex structures, requiring a power cord to move with the robotic arm, and this cord can potentially obstruct the arm's movement. In high-frequency operation scenarios, such as automated testing systems, the traditional method is inefficient, unable to meet rapid processing demands, becoming a bottleneck in the testing process and reducing overall system performance. Therefore, developing a simpler, more efficient, and reliable card release device based on a spring-loaded gripper is essential. Utility Model Content

[0003] A brief overview of embodiments of the present invention is provided below to provide a basic understanding of certain aspects of the invention. It should be understood that this overview is not an exhaustive summary of the invention. It is not intended to identify key or essential parts of the invention, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the invention. Its purpose is merely to present certain concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that follows.

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a card release device based on a spring gripper, overcoming the limitations of the prior art and improving the performance and stability of the device.

[0005] Specifically, this utility model provides a card release device based on a spring gripper, including a robotic arm, a spring gripper, a test card, and a pre-tightening slot. The test card is placed in the pre-tightening slot. The spring gripper is installed at the end of the robotic arm, and the movement of the robotic arm enables the spring gripper to grip and release the test card. The contact surface between the spring gripper and the test card is provided with an anti-slip washer. The anti-slip washer is provided on the contact surface of the spring gripper to increase the friction between the gripper and the card, ensuring that the friction is reduced when the card slides laterally, while providing sufficient friction to firmly grip the card during normal gripping.

[0006] As a specific implementation, the spring gripper includes a gripping component, a spring mechanism, and a connecting component. The gripping component and the spring mechanism are connected by the connecting component. The gripping component includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp, with anti-slip washers fitted onto either the upper or lower clamp. The gripping component is in direct contact with the card and is responsible for gripping and releasing the card. The spring mechanism provides the necessary elasticity to the gripping component, ensuring that the gripping component can stably hold the card. The connecting component connects the gripping component and the spring mechanism together, and also connects the entire spring gripper to a robotic arm.

[0007] As another specific implementation, the spring gripper includes a clamping component, a spring mechanism, and a connecting component. The clamping component and the spring mechanism are connected by the connecting component. The clamping component includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp, and an anti-slip washer is provided on the lower surface of the upper clamp or the upper surface of the lower clamp.

[0008] More preferably, there are two anti-slip washers, referred to as the first anti-slip washer and the second anti-slip washer, both of which are fitted onto the upper clamp of the spring clamp.

[0009] In use, the test card is placed in the pre-tightened slot, and the robotic arm drives the spring gripper to accurately slide the test card out of the slot, achieving a fast and stable card release operation. This application utilizes anti-slip washers, eliminating the need to release the gripper; simply sliding the robotic arm to the side beyond the card's width releases the card from the pre-tightened slot, thus achieving a fast and stable card release operation.

[0010] This utility model's card release device based on a spring gripper, through its innovative robotic arm and spring gripper design, has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] Easy to operate: No complex electronic or pneumatic structure is required, simplifying the operation process;

[0012] Improved efficiency: Reduced card drop or interference caused by improper release of the gripper, thus improving card processing efficiency;

[0013] High reliability: The dedicated anti-slip pad design ensures the stability of the card during clamping and release, reducing the failure rate;

[0014] Highly adaptable: Suitable for various devices and systems that require frequent card storage and retrieval operations, such as card readers and automated testing equipment.

[0015] In summary, this application effectively solves the problems of complex structure and inconvenient operation in traditional card processing equipment through the above-described structure, improves the efficiency and reliability of card processing, and has broad application prospects and practical value.

The robotic arm 1 is the main moving part of the device, responsible for moving the spring gripper 2 to the appropriate position to grip or release the test card 3.

[0026] Spring gripper 2 is mounted at the end of robotic arm 1. The spring gripper uses a spring mechanism to grip and release the card. Spring gripper 2 is connected to robotic arm 1 and is moved by robotic arm 1. Spring gripper 2 is the component that directly contacts the test card 3 and is responsible for gripping the card. Anti-slip washers are provided on the contact surface of the spring gripper to increase friction between the gripper and the card, ensuring reduced friction when the card slides laterally, and sufficient friction to hold the card securely during normal gripping.

[0027] The test card 3 is placed in the pre-tightened slot 4 and held by the spring gripper 2. The entire device is designed to use the robotic arm 1 to drive the spring gripper 2 to accurately push the test card 3 into or pull it out of the pre-tightened slot 4, achieving a fast and stable card release operation.

[0028] The pre-tensioning slot 4 is the storage location for the test cards, ensuring they are stably held within the slot. The slot is fixedly connected to the other parts of the device, providing necessary support and positioning for the cards.

The spring mechanism provides the elasticity required by the gripping component to ensure that the gripping component can stably grip the card. The connecting component connects the gripping component and the spring mechanism together, and also connects the entire spring gripper 2 to the robotic arm 1. In this embodiment, there are two anti-slip washers 5, referred to as the first anti-slip washer 51 and the second anti-slip washer 52, both of which are fitted onto the upper clamp 21 of the spring gripper 2.

The clamping component and the spring mechanism are connected by the connecting component. The clamping component includes an upper clamp 21 and a lower clamp 22. Anti-slip washers are provided on the lower surface of the upper clamp 21 or the upper surface of the lower clamp 22.

[0031] In use, the test card 3 is placed in the pre-tightening slot 4. The robotic arm 1 drives the spring gripper 2 to accurately slide the test card 3 out of the pre-tightening slot 4, achieving a fast and stable card release operation. This application utilizes anti-slip washers, eliminating the need to release the gripper; simply sliding the robotic arm 1 to the side beyond the width of the card releases the test card 3, thus achieving a fast and stable card release operation.
