Description

An automated handling equipment for automotive parts Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically to an automated material handling device for automotive parts. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive parts refer to the various units that make up a car as a whole and the products that serve the car. There are many types of automotive parts, and during the car production process, automated handling equipment is needed to move them to improve production efficiency.

[0003] However, existing material handling equipment still has the following problems when handling parts: Traditional automated material handling equipment for automotive parts mostly uses suction cups or clamps with fixed structures, which are difficult to flexibly adapt to parts of different sizes and shapes. When parts with large size differences need to be handled, operators often need to change the gripping parts of the handling equipment, which not only increases labor intensity but also reduces production efficiency, seriously affecting the continuity and automation level of automobile production. For automotive parts with uneven surfaces, existing automated material handling equipment often requires individual control, which is not only cumbersome to operate and increases the workload of operators, but also makes it difficult for the suction cups or clamps to move synchronously in actual production, resulting in a significant reduction in overall handling efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an automated handling device for automotive parts to address the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0005] 1. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model:

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated handling device for automotive parts to solve the problems currently existing in the market as mentioned in the background.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution:

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic handling device for automotive parts, including a base, a robotic arm assembly installed on the upper end of the base, a base installed on the output end of the robotic arm assembly, and extension plates provided on both sides of the base, and an adjusting component installed between the two extension plates and the base, the adjusting component being used to adjust the distance between the two extension plates;

[0009] A movable plate is connected to the lower part of the extension plate via a drive component, and a suction component is mounted on the movable plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a rotating cylinder rotatably mounted inside the base with a bearing, and a bevel gear transmission assembly is installed in the middle of the rotating cylinder. The bevel gear transmission assembly includes two meshing bevel gears, one bevel gear being sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder, and the other bevel gear being rotatably mounted inside the base.

[0011] The adjusting component also includes a threaded rod and a guide rod fixed to the side of the extension plate. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the rotating drum, and the guide rod is fitted inside the base.

[0012] The above technical solution enables the rotating drum to rotate via the bevel gear transmission assembly. The meshing action between the rotating drum and the threaded rod, as well as the contact action between the guide rod and the base, can drive the extension plates on both sides to move relative to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving component includes an electric push rod fixed below the extension plate, the output end of the electric push rod being fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate, and the driving component also includes a telescopic rod, the fixed end of the telescopic rod being fixed below the extension plate, and the movable end of the telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate.

[0014] The above technical solution enables the electric push rod to move the movable plate up and down after it is started.

[0015] Furthermore, the suction component includes a guide gear mounted on a movable plate via a bearing. A rack meshes with both sides of the guide gear, and the racks are slidably mounted on the movable plate. A suction cup assembly is mounted at the lower end of the movable plate, and a clamping component is installed between the guide gear and the movable plate.

[0016] The above technical solution enables the other suction cup assembly to also come into contact with the part when one suction cup assembly comes into contact with the part, by utilizing the meshing action between the guide gear and the two racks, and driven by the electric push rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping component includes a movable rod slidably installed inside the movable plate. An electromagnet is installed at one end of the movable rod near the guide gear, and a pressure spring is sleeved on the outside of the movable rod. The two ends of the pressure spring are respectively connected to the movable plate and the movable rod.

[0018] The above technical solution enables the pressure spring to drive the unenergized electromagnet back to its original position.

[0019] Furthermore, the electromagnet and the iron sheet are arranged correspondingly, and the iron sheet is fixed in a circular shape on the side of the guide gear near the clamping member.

[0020] The above technical solution enables the electromagnet to press tightly against the iron plate and lock the rotating guide gear when it is energized.

[0021] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the automatic handling equipment for automotive parts of this utility model, by setting an adjusting component, allows for adjustment of the distance between the two extension plates, thereby adjusting the spacing of the suction cup assembly to accommodate parts of different sizes. Simultaneously, the suction cup assembly can be independently fine-tuned to meet the needs of curved or inclined parts, exhibiting strong adaptability. The specific details are as follows:

[0023] After the drive device drives one of the bevel gears in the bevel gear transmission assembly to rotate, it drives the rotating drum to rotate by meshing. When the rotating drum rotates, it drives the two side extension plates to move synchronously in opposite directions along the guide rod by meshing between the rotating drum and the threaded rod and by the contacting action between the guide rod and the base, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the suction cup assembly spacing and adapt to parts of different sizes.

[0024] The electric push rod drives the movable plate to rise and fall vertically along the telescopic rod, causing the suction cup assembly to move closer to or away from the part to be transported. When one suction cup assembly contacts the part, the meshing action between the guide gear and the two racks drives the other suction cup assembly to contact the part, thus meeting the needs of parts with different elevations. When both suction cup assemblies are in contact with the automotive parts, the electromagnet is energized, attracting the iron plate and pressing it tightly against the iron plate, locking the position of the guide gear after rotation. This prevents the suction cups from accidentally shifting during transport, causing the parts to fall off and improving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-4. An automated handling device for automotive parts includes a base 1, a robotic arm assembly 2 mounted on the upper end of the base 1, a base 3 mounted on the output end of the robotic arm assembly 2, and extension plates 4 on both sides of the base 3. An adjusting member 5 is installed between the two extension plates 4 and the base 3 to adjust the distance between the two extension plates 4. The adjusting member 5 includes a rotating cylinder 51 rotatably mounted inside the base 3 with bearings. A bevel gear transmission assembly 52 is mounted in the middle of the rotating cylinder 51. The bevel gear transmission assembly 52 includes two meshing bevel gears, one bevel gear sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 51 and the other bevel gear rotatably mounted inside the base 3. The adjusting member 5 also includes a threaded rod 53 and a guide rod 54 fixed to the side of the extension plates 4. The threaded rod 53 is threadedly connected to the rotating cylinder 51, and the guide rod 54 is fitted into the interior of the base 3.

[0035] Start the drive device to drive one of the bevel gears in the bevel gear transmission assembly 52 to rotate. The meshing action of the bevel gear transmission assembly 52 drives the rotating drum 51 to rotate synchronously. After the rotating drum 51 rotates, under the meshing action between the rotating drum 51 and the threaded rod 53, the two side extension plates 4 move synchronously in the opposite direction along the guide rod 54, so as to realize the precise adjustment of the spacing of the suction cup assembly 83 and adapt to parts of different sizes.

[0036] A movable plate 7 is connected to the lower part of the extension plate 4 via a drive component 6. A suction component 8 is mounted on the movable plate 7. The drive component 6 includes an electric push rod 61 fixed below the extension plate 4, the output end of which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate 7. The drive component 6 also includes a telescopic rod 62, the fixed end of which is fixed below the extension plate 4, and the movable end of which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate 7. The suction component 8 includes a guide gear 81 mounted on the movable plate 7 via bearings. A rack 82 meshes with each side of the guide gear 81, and the rack 82 slides up and down on the movable plate 7. A suction cup assembly 83 is installed on the plate 7, and a clamping member 84 is installed between the guide gear 81 and the movable plate 7. The clamping member 84 includes a movable rod 841 that is slidably installed inside the movable plate 7. An electromagnet 843 is installed at one end of the movable rod 841 near the guide gear 81, and a pressure spring 842 is sleeved on the outside of the movable rod 841. The two ends of the pressure spring 842 are respectively connected to the movable plate 7 and the movable rod 841. The electromagnet 843 is correspondingly arranged with an iron piece 844, and the iron piece 844 is fixed in a ring shape on the side of the guide gear 81 near the clamping member 84.

[0037] When handling is required, the robotic arm assembly 2 moves the suction cup assembly 83 to a suitable position. Then, the electric push rod 61 is activated, causing the movable plate 7 to rise and fall vertically along the telescopic rod 62, moving the suction cup assembly 83 closer to or away from the part to be handled. When one suction cup assembly 83 contacts the part, the meshing action between the guide gear 81 and the two racks 82 causes the other suction cup assembly 83 to contact the part, thus meeting the need for different surfaces. When both suction cup assemblies 83 are in contact with the automotive parts, the electromagnet 843 is energized, attracting the iron plate 844 and pressing it tightly against the iron plate 844, locking the position of the guide gear 81 after rotation. This prevents the suction cups from accidentally shifting during handling, thus improving safety.

[0038] Working Principle: When using this automatic handling equipment for automotive parts, as shown in Figure 1-4, the drive device is first started according to the size of the parts. Through the adjusting component 5, the two side extension plates 4 are driven to move synchronously in opposite directions along the guide rod 54, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the spacing of the suction cup assembly 83 to meet the needs of parts of different sizes. When handling is required, the robotic arm assembly 2 drives the suction cup assembly 83 to the appropriate position. Then, the electric push rod 61 is started. When one side of the suction cup assembly 83 contacts the part, the meshing action between the guide gear 81 and the two racks 82 drives the other side of the suction cup assembly 83 to contact the part, thus meeting the needs of parts with different heights. Then, the electromagnet 843 is energized, and the electromagnet 843 attracts the iron plate 844, so that the electromagnet 843 presses the iron plate 844 tightly, locking the position after the guide gear 81 rotates, preventing the suction cup from accidentally shifting during the handling process and causing the parts to fall off, thus improving safety.
