[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0032] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An automated robotic arm for sorting on a production line includes a robotic arm 1. A mounting component 2 is located at the end of the robotic arm 1. A control component 3 is located inside the mounting component 2. An adjustment component 4 is located at the bottom of the control component 3. The control component 3 controls the adjustment component 4 to adjust the spacing between the workpieces being clamped. A telescopic component 5 is located at the front end of the adjustment component 4. The telescopic component 5 drives the clamping component 7 to extend and retract. A cleaning component 8 is located inside the telescopic component 5. The cleaning component 8 uses the air blown by the clamping component 7 during the extension and retraction of the telescopic component 5 to blow away foreign objects from the workpieces. It can also be used to clean foreign objects in other locations on the production line. A buffer component 6 is located at the front end of the telescopic component 5, and the clamping component 7 is located at the front end of the buffer component 6.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the adjustment component 4 includes a first connecting plate 43. Two second connecting plates 44 are provided on one side of the first connecting plate 43. The rear end of the second connecting plate 44 closest to the first connecting plate 43 is rotatably provided with a cross arm 41. The second connecting plate 44 closest to the first connecting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 22. Both ends of the cross arm 41 are hinged with transmission rods 42. When the control component 3 is activated, the first connecting plate 43 is moved, thereby moving the second connecting plate 44 furthest from the first connecting plate 43 through the cross arm 41 and the transmission rods 42, thereby adjusting the distance between the two second connecting plates 44 and the first connecting plate 43 at equal intervals. The ends of the transmission rods 42 on both sides of the cross arm 41 are rotatably connected to the second connecting plates 44 and the first connecting plate 43 on both sides of the cross arm 41, respectively.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic assembly 5 includes a first fixed plate 52, a first connecting plate 43, and a second connecting plate 44. The front ends of the first fixed plate 52 are all fixedly provided with the first fixed plate 52. A second fixed plate 53 is provided in front of the first fixed plate 52. The second fixed plate 53 is used to connect with the buffer assembly 6. A cylinder 51 is fixedly provided at the rear end of the second fixed plate 53. By activating the cylinder 51, the distance between the first fixed plate 52 and the second fixed plate 53 can be adjusted. The output end of the cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 52. Slide rods 54 are provided above and below the cylinder 51 and are fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 52. The ends of the slide rods 54 extend through the second fixed plate 53 to the front of the second fixed plate 53. When the cylinder 51 is activated, the second fixed plate 53 slides on the slide rods 54, thereby increasing the stability of the telescopic movement.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 7 includes a pneumatic gripper 71 located in front of the second fixed plate 53. By activating the pneumatic gripper 71, the two grippers at its front end separate and close. A third mounting plate 72 is fixedly mounted on each of the two grippers at the front end of the pneumatic gripper 71. A fourth mounting plate 73 is provided at the front end of the third mounting plate 72. A clamping plate 74 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the fourth mounting plate 73. When the pneumatic gripper 71 is activated, the two clamping plates 74 move closer to each other through the third mounting plate 72 and the fourth mounting plate 73, thereby clamping the workpiece. Protective plates 75 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the clamping plate 74. The protective plates 75 are used to prevent workpiece displacement and further improve the stability of clamping.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the cleaning component 8 includes a push rod 81. The cylinder 51 is provided with push rods 81 fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 52 above and below, and is located between two slide rods 54. A connecting cylinder 82 fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 53 is slidably provided on the outside of the push rod 81. When the telescopic component 5 retracts, it drives the connecting cylinder 82 to slide on the push rod 81, thereby pushing the gas inside the connecting cylinder 82 through the push rod 81. The rear end of the third mounting plate 72 is provided with an air blowing port 83 communicating with the front end of the third mounting plate 72. A transmission pipe 84 communicating with the inside of the air blowing port 83 is fixedly provided on the front side of one side of the connecting cylinder 82. When the push rod 81 pushes the gas inside the connecting cylinder 82, the gas is sprayed out through the air blowing port 83 through the transmission pipe 84, thereby blowing away the dust on the outside of the workpiece. The transmission pipe 84 is connected to the inside of the connecting cylinder 82.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The automated robotic arm for sorting on the production line provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting assembly 2 includes a second mounting plate 22 with an opening, which is used to connect to the control assembly 3. A second connecting plate 44 and a first connecting plate 43 are slidably connected to the rear end of the second mounting plate 22. The second connecting plate 44, which is closest to the first connecting plate 43, is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 22. A first mounting plate 21 is provided behind the second mounting plate 22. Several connecting rods 23 are fixedly provided between the first mounting plate 21 and the second mounting plate 22.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control component 3 includes a motor 31 fixed above the rear end of the second mounting plate 22. One side of the motor 31 is provided with a connecting seat 33 fixedly connected to the top of the first connecting plate 43. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly provided with a threaded rod 32. When the motor 31 is started, the threaded rod 32 is driven to rotate. The threaded rod 32 passes through the connecting seat 33 and extends to the side of the connecting seat 33 away from the motor 31. The threaded rod 32 is threadedly connected to the connecting seat 33. When the threaded rod 32 rotates, it drives the connecting seat 33 to move through the thread, thereby moving the first connecting plate 43.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] The automated robotic arms for production line sorting provided in Examples 1 and 2 are further optimized, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the buffer assembly 6 includes two first limiting plates 61 fixed to the front end of the second fixing plate 53. A second limiting plate 62, which is fixedly connected to the pneumatic gripper 71, is slidably disposed between the two first limiting plates 61. When the clamping assembly 7 contacts the workpiece, the pneumatic gripper 71 slides between the two first limiting plates 61 through the second limiting plate 62, thereby buffering the impact force of the clamping assembly 7 contacting the workpiece through the elastic force of the spring 63. Several springs 63 are fixedly disposed between the second limiting plate 62 and the second fixing plate 53.

[0044] The automated robotic arm for production line sorting provided by this utility model is used as follows:

[0045] When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece by the robotic arm 1, the robotic arm 1 is started to adjust the clamping assembly 7 above the workpiece. Then, the cylinder 51 is started to retract, causing the push rod 81 to push the gas inside the connecting cylinder 82. The gas is blown out of the clamping assembly 7 through the transmission pipe 84 and the air blowing port 83, thereby blowing away foreign objects on the workpiece. Then, the cylinder 51 is started to drive the clamping assembly 7 to extend, so that the clamping assembly 7 contacts the workpiece. Then, the pneumatic gripper 71 is started to clamp the workpiece with the fourth mounting plate 73 and the clamping plate 74.
