Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arm handling machine technology, specifically a dual-station robotic arm handling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, material handling is crucial. From transporting raw materials to transferring them between processing stages, and then to collecting and storing finished products, a large number of handling operations are involved. Traditional manual handling methods are not only inefficient but also prone to quality problems such as product bumps and scratches due to human error, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale, high-precision production. With the continuous development of automation technology, the use of robotic handling mechanisms to replace manual handling operations is an inevitable trend to improve production efficiency and ensure product quality.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application CN202121891438.5, which discloses a dual-station rotary handling robot mechanism for brake drums. This invention addresses the limitation of existing brake drum handling robots that can only perform single-station operations. The proposed solution includes a base plate with a support box fixedly connected to it. Symmetrically distributed conveyor belts are also fixedly connected to the base plate. A first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate via bearings. This invention, through the use of incomplete gears and driven gears, can drive the robot to rotate intermittently, enabling dual-station rotary handling of brake drums. Furthermore, a drive assembly is provided to drive the robot's longitudinal movement, allowing it to reciprocate longitudinally according to its rotational cycle. This facilitates the robot's gripping and handling of the brake drums located on the conveyor belt, effectively improving the robot's operational flexibility.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following drawbacks: Although the existing technologies can use robotic arms to perform dual-station rotary material handling, the frequent station switching during the handling process consumes a significant amount of time, limiting the number of material handling operations that can be completed per unit time and reducing overall handling efficiency. Therefore, it is essential to design a dual-station robotic handling machine that is both practical and highly efficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-station robotic handling machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dual-station robotic arm handling machine, including a base, a flip box fixedly connected to the upper side of the base, a drive rod rotatably coupled to the upper side of the flip box, a flip motor cooperating with the drive rod fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the flip box, a drive box fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive rod, and two force-bearing rods rotatably coupled to the lower side of the inner wall of the drive box, with a robotic arm fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the two force-bearing rods;

[0007] Gears are fixedly connected to both of the force-bearing rods. A drive assembly that meshes with the gears is provided on one side of the inner wall of the drive box. Two conveyor belts are provided on the upper side of the base, and the two conveyor belts mesh with the two robotic arms.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the drive assembly includes a drive plate that slides on the lower side of the inner wall of the drive box, tooth grooves formed on both sides of the drive plate and meshing with the two gears, and a telescopic cylinder that is fixedly connected to one side of the drive box and fixedly connected to the drive plate.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, a reinforcing cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper side of the flipping box, and the drive rod is slidably fitted into the inner wall of the reinforcing cylinder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model, by setting up components such as a flipping motor, drive rod, robotic arm, and drive assembly, can use two robotic arms to grip the workpieces on the conveyor belt.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a dual-station robotic handling machine, including a base 1, a tilting box 2 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 1, a drive rod 3 rotatably connected to the upper side of the tilting box 2, a tilting motor 4 cooperating with the drive rod 3 fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the tilting box 2, a drive box 5 fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive rod 3, two force-bearing rods 6 rotatably connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the drive box 5, and a robotic arm 7 fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the two force-bearing rods 6.

[0023] Gears 8 are fixedly connected to both force-bearing rods 6. A drive assembly 9 that cooperates with gears 8 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the drive box 5. Two conveyor belts 10 are provided on the upper side of the base 1. The two conveyor belts 10 cooperate with two robotic arms 7.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 The drive assembly 9 includes a drive plate 901 that slides on the lower side of the inner wall of the drive box 5, tooth grooves 902 that are opened on both sides of the drive plate 901 and mesh with two gears 8, and a telescopic cylinder 903 that is fixedly connected to one side of the drive box 5 and fixedly connected to the drive plate 901. The telescopic cylinder 903 drives the drive plate 901 to move, and the tooth grooves 902 on the drive plate 901 are used to drive the gears 8.

[0025] Please see Figure 4 A fixing groove 11 is provided on one side of the base 1, and a collection cart 12 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing groove 11. By pushing the collection cart 12 into the interior of the fixing groove 11, the extracted materials can be collected.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 Multiple air vents 13 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the drive box 5, and an air inlet 14 is provided on one side of the drive box 5. A cooling fan 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet 14. Gas is injected into the drive box 5 through the cooling fan 15. The gas contacts the drive plate 901 and the gear 8 and is discharged from the air vents 13, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the drive box 5 and ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 The lower side of the inner wall of the drive box 5 is provided with a movable groove 16. The inner wall of the movable groove 16 is slidably fitted with a movable block 17 that is fixedly connected to the drive plate 901. The movable block 17 slides along the movable groove 16, which can provide precise linear guidance for the movement of the drive plate 901. In the frequent reciprocating motion of the drive plate 901, this guiding structure helps to maintain the consistency of its motion trajectory.

[0028] Please see Figure 2Two annular groove plates 18 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the drive box 5, and guide rods 19 that slide in cooperation with the annular groove plates 18 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the two robotic arms 7. The guide rods 19 slide along the annular groove plates 18 and can provide guidance for the movement of the robotic arms 7.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 A reinforcing cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the flip box 2. The drive rod 3 is slidably fitted on the inner wall of the reinforcing cylinder 20. When the drive rod 3 rotates, the reinforcing cylinder 20 contacts the outer side of the drive rod 3, which can provide good support for the drive rod 3.

[0030] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When in use, two robotic arms 7 can grip the workpieces on the conveyor belt 10, and then the drive plate 901 can be moved by activating the telescopic cylinder 903. Since the drive plate 901 and the gear 8 are meshed, the two robotic arms 7 can be flipped at the same time, thereby enabling the simultaneous handling of workpieces on the two conveyor belts 10. Parallel operation is achieved, which can handle more materials in a certain period of time, greatly improving the overall handling efficiency and ensuring the efficient operation of the entire production process.

[0031] When one of the two conveyor belts 10 is in operation, the two robotic arms 7 can be adjusted to a horizontal position (e.g., by activating the telescopic cylinder 903) to achieve a forward-backward horizontal position. Figure 4 By starting the flip motor 4 to drive the drive rod 3 to flip, two robotic arms 7 can operate a conveyor belt 10. When the workload of a key work station needs to be temporarily increased, it can also be adjusted to have two grippers handle a work station twice. Resources can be flexibly allocated according to actual production needs, avoiding the situation of material accumulation at a work station waiting to be handled, ensuring efficient and smooth material flow, and further guaranteeing the efficient operation of the production process.

[0032] During operation, gas is injected into the drive box 5 through the cooling fan 15. The gas comes into contact with the drive plate 901 and the gear 8 and is discharged from the air outlet 13, thereby cooling the inside of the drive box 5 and ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation.
