[0077] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0078] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0079] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. This example is implemented based on the technical solution of this utility model, and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0080] The first aspect of this utility model provides a loading device for a server production line, comprising:

[0081] Robotic arm 100 and robotic gripper 300;

[0082] The robotic gripper 300 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the movable joint of the robotic arm 100;

[0083] The robotic gripper 300 includes: a gripper body 310, a powered gripper 320, and a telescopic suction cup 330;

[0084] The upper end of the gripper body 310 is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable joint of the robotic arm 100;

[0085] The fixed end of the power gripper 320 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the gripper body 310, and the fixed end of the telescopic suction cup 330 is fixedly connected to the side of the gripper body 310.

[0086] When the server chassis 200 is within the range of the multiple grippers of the powered gripper 320, the multiple grippers of the powered gripper 320 move horizontally to centripetally to complete the gripping of the server chassis 200.

[0087] When the foam is located below the telescopic suction cup 330, the suction cup 332 of the telescopic suction cup 330 moves downward and sucks up the foam through negative pressure when the suction cup 332 comes into contact with the foam.

[0088] For example, such as Figure 1-8As shown above, the current technical means is to manually move the server chassis 200 to the assembly line. In order to overcome the problem of high manpower input, this utility model provides a feeding device, the main body of which is a robotic gripper 300 set at the front end of the movable joint of the robotic arm 100.

[0089] The robotic gripper 300 is capable of gripping the server chassis 200 and picking up lightweight items, such as EVA foam pads. Typically, during server production and assembly, foam pads are placed under the server chassis 200 to provide shock absorption, cushioning, and prevent scratches.

[0090] To achieve the above objectives, the lower part of the gripper body 310 of the robotic gripper 300 is equipped with a powered gripper 320 and a telescopic suction cup 330. When the powered gripper 320 is activated, its multiple grippers move horizontally towards the center to grasp the server chassis 200. The telescopic suction cup 330 is a negative pressure suction cup 332 with a lifting function. When the telescopic suction cup 330 extends and comes into contact with a lightweight object, it uses the generated negative pressure to suck up the lightweight object.

[0091] In this way, the robotic arm 100 can drive the robotic gripper 300 to grasp and place the server chassis 200 and foam cotton, reducing the input of manpower and improving production efficiency.

[0092] In some embodiments, the power gripper 320 includes: a finger cylinder 321, a first gripper 322, and a second gripper;

[0093] The body of the finger cylinder 321 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hand claw body 310;

[0094] Both actuating ends of the finger cylinder 321 move horizontally when they are in motion, and the two actuating ends of the finger cylinder 321 are fixedly connected to the first claw 322 and the second claw, respectively.

[0095] In some embodiments, the power gripper 320 further includes a first guide rail 324, a first slider 325, a second guide rail, and a second slider;

[0096] The first guide rail 324 and the second guide rail are respectively horizontally fixed to the gripper body 310;

[0097] The first gripper 322 and the second gripper are respectively fixed to the first slider 325 and the second slider;

[0098] The first slider 325 and the second slider are slidably connected to the first guide rail 324 and the second guide rail, respectively.

[0099] For example, in this embodiment, the power gripper 320 consists of two grippers driven by a finger cylinder 321. The cross-section of the two grippers is L-shaped. When the finger cylinder 321 is activated, the two grippers move horizontally relative to each other to grip and release the server chassis 200. Furthermore, in some embodiments, to improve the movement accuracy of the two grippers, a guide rail and a slider are provided. The guide rail is fixed to the gripper body 310, and the slider is fixed to the gripper. When the gripper moves, the movement is smoother due to the action of the guide rail and the slider.

[0100] In some embodiments, the telescopic suction cup 330 includes: a lifting cylinder 331 and a plurality of suction cups 332;

[0101] The fixed end of the lifting cylinder 331 is fixedly connected to the side of the gripper body 310;

[0102] The suction cup 332 is horizontally positioned, and the plurality of suction cups 332 are respectively fixedly connected to the lifting end of the lifting cylinder 331.

[0103] For example, the telescopic suction cup 330 in this embodiment is a cylinder vertically disposed on the side of the gripper body 310. The telescopic end of the cylinder drives multiple suction cups 332. When the suction cups 332 come into contact with the target lightweight item, the suction cups 332 generate negative pressure to pick up the lightweight item. When it is necessary to release the lightweight item, positive pressure is generated in the suction cups 332 to release the item.

[0104] In some embodiments, the robotic gripper 300 includes a depth detection device 340;

[0105] The depth detection device 340 includes: a detection frame 341 and a sliding column 342;

[0106] The detection frame 341 is fixedly connected to the gripper body 310, and the sliding column 342 is vertically slidably connected to the detection frame 341;

[0107] Multiple photoelectric switches 343 are arranged vertically on the detection frame 341;

[0108] The sliding column 342 is provided with a baffle plate 344;

[0109] When the sliding column 342 slides vertically, it causes the blocking plate 344 to block the photoelectric sensing end of one or more photoelectric switches 343.

[0110] In some embodiments, a first aluminum profile 345 is fixedly provided on the surface of the detector frame 341. The first aluminum profile 345 is provided with a vertically arranged T-shaped groove. The photoelectric switch 343 is provided with a first T-shaped block. The photoelectric switch 343 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped groove of the first aluminum profile 345 through the first T-shaped block.

[0111] In some embodiments, the sliding column 342 is provided with a second aluminum profile 346, the second aluminum profile 346 is provided with a vertically arranged T-shaped groove, the baffle plate 344 is provided with a second T-shaped block, and the baffle plate 344 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped groove of the second aluminum profile 346 through the second T-shaped block.

[0112] In some embodiments, the probe frame 341 is provided with a vertically fixed third guide rail 347, and the sliding column 342 is provided with a third slider 348, which is slidably connected to the third guide rail 347.

[0113] For example, in addition, since server chassis 200 or lightweight items are stacked, the position of the server machinery or lightweight items to be retrieved will change as they are repeatedly retrieved, making it essential to determine the height of the items to be retrieved.

[0114] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, a depth detection device 340 is also provided on the gripper body 310.

[0115] Specifically, the depth detection device 340 consists of a sliding detection frame 341 and a sliding column 342. The detection frame 341 is fixedly mounted on the gripper body 310, and multiple photoelectric switches 343 are vertically spaced on the detection frame. The sliding column 342 is equipped with a baffle plate 344. When the sliding column 342 moves up and down along the detection frame 341, the baffle plate 344 blocks the photoelectric switches 343 from reflecting the height of the object relative to the detection frame 341.

[0116] In addition, in some scenarios, aluminum profiles with T-shaped cross sections are provided on the sliding column 342 and the detector frame 341 respectively. The photoelectric switch 343 and the baffle are fixed in the T-shaped groove of the aluminum profile through the T-shaped block. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the photoelectric switch 343 or the position of the baffle, the movement of the T-shaped block can be completed by loosening the screws that fasten the T-shaped block.

[0117] In other scenarios, a guide rail is provided on the probe frame 341 and a slider is provided on the sliding column 342. The two are slidably connected by the guide rail and the slider, so that the up and down movement of the sliding column 342 is more stable.

[0118] In some embodiments, the gripper body 310 includes a connecting plate 311 and a connecting flange;

[0119] The connecting flange includes an upper flange 312, an intermediate component 313, and a lower flange 314 that are fixedly connected from top to bottom;

[0120] The upper flange 312 is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable joint of the robotic arm 100;

[0121] The lower flange 314 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 311.

[0122] For example, in order to provide room for movement of the cylinder and slider and to provide more mounting positions, the gripper body 310 of this embodiment is a three-section flange. The three-section flange is connected by an upper flange 312 and a lower flange 314 through a barrel-shaped intermediate piece 313, and a connecting plate 311 is fixed under the three-section flange.

[0123] In some embodiments, the robotic gripper 300 is provided with two sets of powered grippers 320, which are respectively arranged on both sides below the connecting plate 311.

[0124] For example, in some scenarios, there are two sets of power grippers 320 arranged symmetrically about the flange axis.

[0125] When the server chassis 200 needs to be clamped, the two sets of powered grippers 320 operate simultaneously. Under the grip of the two sets of powered grippers 320, the server chassis 200 is clamped more firmly and stably, and the center of gravity does not deviate from the main axis of the flange and the arm, making it more stable.

[0126] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of this utility model.
