Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts handling, specifically an adjustable automotive parts handling robot. Background Technology
[0002] In the handling of automotive parts, to improve handling efficiency and reduce labor intensity, handling robots are needed. The "Automotive Parts Box Gripping Device" disclosed in application number "202222257956.2" is an increasingly mature technology. It involves "selecting appropriate vertical plates and gripping hooks based on the width and height of the box, and connecting the vertical plates to the connecting seat and the gripping hooks via second and third connecting parts. The distance between the two sets of support plates is adjusted according to the length of the box, and after adjustment, nuts are used to fix the support plates and the crossbeam. The robot's robotic arm drives the crossbeam, thereby moving the gripping structure. After reaching the preset position, the robot's control system activates the drive mechanism, which moves the gripping claw towards the box to achieve gripping. After gripping the box..." The robot's robotic arm moves the material box to the designated position. However, this gripping device has the following drawbacks: While it can indeed transfer automotive parts through its second and third connecting parts, the inconvenience of height adjustment prevents it from handling parts of varying heights, thus affecting usability. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a robot that facilitates the transfer of automotive parts of different heights and improves usability. Furthermore, the gripping device's positioning of automotive parts is not stable enough, affecting safety during transport. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a robot that improves the positioning of automotive parts and enhances handling safety. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides an adjustable automotive parts handling robot, designed to solve the problem that existing robots are inconvenient for handling automotive parts of different sizes and heights as needed.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an adjustable automotive parts handling robot, including a limiting component and a lifting and transferring component;
[0005] The limiting component includes a receiving plate, with a fixing plate embedded in the upper end of the receiving plate. Two gantry frames are slidably connected to the upper end of the receiving plate, and each of the two gantry frames is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder. A pressing block is detachably installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. Two positioning rods are rotatably connected to the lower end of the receiving plate. Buffer springs are detachably installed on both sides of the receiving plate. Two sliding grooves are formed at the upper end of the receiving plate, and two sliders are fixedly connected to the lower end of the gantry frames. The sliders are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves.
[0006] A lifting and transferring assembly includes a movable plate. A lead screw and a guide rod are rotatably connected to the upper end of the movable plate. Two second guide blocks are slidably connected to the side surfaces of the lead screw and the guide rod. A first inclined plate and a second inclined plate are hinged to the upper ends of the two second guide blocks. The two first inclined plates and the second inclined plates are rotatably connected. A transmission rod is rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of the two first inclined plates and the second inclined plates. A transmission mechanism is installed at one end of the lead screw, and several movable wheels are installed at the lower end of the movable plate.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, ear blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the receiving plate, and plug rods are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the buffer spring, with the plug rods inserted into the inside of the ear blocks.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the receiving plate is provided with an installation groove, and the fixing plate is installed inside the installation groove. The fixing plate is made of magnet.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is provided with a limiting hole, and the upper end of the extrusion block is fixedly connected to a limiting shaft, which is inserted into the limiting hole.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower end of the receiving plate is provided with two first guide grooves, and the two positioning rods are rotatably connected inside the first guide grooves.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission disc mounted on one end of a lead screw, a servo motor mounted on the upper end of the moving plate, a second transmission disc mounted on the output end of the servo motor, and a transmission belt connecting the first transmission disc and the second transmission disc.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper ends of the first and second inclined plates are hinged to a first guide block, and the first guide block is slidably connected inside the first guide groove.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. When handling automotive parts of different heights, the transmission mechanism is first activated to rotate the lead screw clockwise or counterclockwise according to the height of the automotive parts. This, combined with the guide rod, controls the second guide block to move closer to or further away from the lead screw and guide rod. The first guide block moves along the positioning rod, thereby controlling the rotation of the first and second inclined support plates, allowing for angle adjustment. This, in turn, supports the receiving plate, facilitating height adjustment. Therefore, automotive parts of different heights can be handled. During handling, only one moving wheel needs to be controlled by the hub motor to rotate, and the other three moving wheels work together to automatically handle the automotive parts. Compared to the handling robot in the existing "Automotive Parts Box Gripping Device," this invention, through the above-mentioned structure, facilitates handling operations of robots of different heights, thus improving ease of use.
[0016] 2. When fixing automotive parts, the automotive parts are first placed on the upper end of the fixing plate on the receiving plate. The magnetic connection between the fixing plate made of magnets and the automotive parts can initially improve the stability of handling. Then, the slider is controlled to move along the slide groove, and the distance between the two gantry frames is controlled to facilitate the positioning of automotive parts of different sizes. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder lowers the extrusion block to extrude and position the automotive parts. Compared with the gripping device in the existing technology "An Automotive Parts Box Gripping Device", this utility model, through the cooperation of the above structures, can facilitate the stable positioning operation of automotive parts of different sizes, thereby improving the safety of automotive parts handling.

[0025] Example
[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an adjustable automotive parts handling robot, including a limiting component 100 and a lifting and transferring component 200;
[0027] The limiting component 100 includes a receiving plate 101, a fixing plate 102 embedded in the upper end of the receiving plate 101, two gantry frames 103 slidably connected to the upper end of the receiving plate 101, a hydraulic cylinder 104 at the upper end of each of the two gantry frames 103, a pressing block 105 detachably installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 104, two positioning rods 106 rotatably connected to the lower end of the receiving plate 101, buffer springs 107 detachably installed on both sides of the receiving plate 101, two sliding grooves 108 opened at the upper end of the receiving plate 101, and two sliders 109 fixedly connected to the lower end of the gantry frames 103, the sliders 109 slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 108;
[0028] The lifting and transferring assembly 200 includes a movable plate 201. The upper end of the movable plate 201 is rotatably connected to a lead screw 202 and a guide rod 203. The side surfaces of the lead screw 202 and the guide rod 203 are slidably connected to two second guide blocks 204. The upper ends of the two second guide blocks 204 are respectively hinged to a first inclined support plate 205 and a second inclined support plate 206. The two first inclined support plates 205 and the second inclined support plates 206 are rotatably connected. The upper and lower ends of the two first inclined support plates 205 and the second inclined support plates 206 are rotatably connected to a transmission rod 207. A transmission mechanism 208 is installed at one end of the lead screw 202. Several moving wheels 209 are installed at the lower end of the movable plate 201.
[0029] In one specific embodiment, the limiting component 100, in conjunction with the lifting and transferring component 200, not only facilitates the automatic handling of automotive parts of different heights, thereby improving the ease of use of the handling robot, but also facilitates the installation and fixing of automotive parts of different sizes, thus improving the safety during the handling of automotive parts. In use, the transmission mechanism 208 is first activated, causing the lead screw 202 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The guide rod 203, in conjunction with the first guide block 221, controls the second guide block 204 to move closer to or further away from the lead screw 202 and guide rod 203. The movement of the first guide block 221 along the positioning rod 106 controls the rotation of the first and second inclined support plates 205, thereby adjusting the angle between them and enabling the support plate to rotate. The height of the support plate 101 is adjusted to facilitate the handling of automotive parts of different heights. During handling, one of the moving wheels 209 is rotated by the hub motor, and the other three moving wheels 209 work together to automatically handle the automotive parts. The automotive parts are then placed on the upper end of the fixing plate 102 on the receiving plate 101. The fixing plate 102, made of magnets, is magnetically connected to the automotive parts, which initially improves the stability of handling. Then, the slider 109 is controlled to move along the slide 108, which controls the distance between the two gantry frames 103, thereby enabling the positioning of automotive parts of different sizes. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 104 lowers the extrusion block 105 to extrude and position the automotive parts, thus improving the safety of the automotive parts transfer process.
[0030] Please see Figures 2-5 Both sides of the receiving plate 101 are fixedly connected with ear blocks 111, and both the upper and lower ends of the buffer spring 107 are fixedly connected with plug rods 112, which are inserted into the inside of the ear blocks 111.
[0031] In one specific embodiment, the plug rod 112 is inserted into the ear block 111, thereby improving the connection stability between the buffer spring 107 and the receiving plate 101, and improving the stability of the receiving plate 101 when it is raised or lowered.
[0032] Please see Figures 2-5 The upper end of the receiving plate 101 is provided with an installation groove 121, and the fixing plate 102 is installed inside the installation groove 121. The fixing plate 102 is made of magnet.
[0033] In one specific embodiment, the mounting groove 121 can improve the ease of installation and removal of the fixing plate 102, and the fixing plate 102 made of magnets can enhance the stability of the magnetic connection between the fixing plate and automotive parts.
[0034] Please see Figures 2-5 The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 104 has a limit hole 131, and the upper end of the extrusion block 105 is fixedly connected to a limit shaft 132, which is inserted into the limit hole 131.
[0035] In one specific embodiment, the limiting shaft 132 is inserted into the limiting hole 131 to improve the ease of disassembly and replacement between the hydraulic cylinder 104 and the extrusion block 105.
[0036] Please see Figures 2-5 The lower end of the receiving plate 101 has two first guide grooves 141, and the two positioning rods 106 are rotatably connected inside the first guide grooves 141.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, the positioning rod 106 is rotatably connected inside the first guide groove 141, which can guide the first guide block 221 and improve the stability and smoothness of the rotation of the first inclined plate 205 and the second inclined plate 206.
[0038] Please see Figure 6 The transmission mechanism 208 includes a first transmission disk 2081 installed at one end of the lead screw 202, a servo motor 2082 installed at the upper end of the moving plate 201, a second transmission disk 2083 installed at the output end of the servo motor 2082, and a transmission belt 2084 connecting the first transmission disk 2081 and the second transmission disk 2083.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, by starting the servo motor 2082 to rotate the second transmission disk 2083, and cooperating with the transmission belt 2084 to rotate the lead screw 202, the height of the limit component 100 can be automatically controlled to be raised and lowered for height adjustment.
[0040] Please see Figure 6 The upper end of the movable plate 201 has two second guide grooves 211. The lead screw 202 and the guide rod 203 are rotatably connected inside the second guide grooves 211. The upper end of the movable plate 201 has two insertion holes 212. The insertion rod 112 is inserted into the insertion hole 212.
[0041] In one specific embodiment, the insertion rod 112 is inserted into the insertion hole 212, which can facilitate the improvement of the installation stability between the buffer spring 107 and the moving plate 201.
[0042] Please see Figure 6 The upper ends of the first inclined plate 205 and the second inclined plate 206 are hinged to the first guide block 221, which is slidably connected inside the first guide groove 141.
[0043] In one specific embodiment, the first guide block 221 moves along the first guide groove 141, thereby improving the stability of the angle adjustment between the first inclined plate 205 and the second inclined plate 206.
[0044] Working principle: In use, the transmission mechanism 208 is first activated, causing the lead screw 202 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. This, combined with the guide rod 203, controls the second guide block 204 to move closer to or further away from the lead screw 202 and guide rod 203. Simultaneously, the first guide block 221 moves along the positioning rod 106, thereby controlling the rotation of the first and second inclined support plates 205 and 206. This allows for adjustment of the angle between them, facilitating the support of the receiving plate 101 and adjusting its height. Therefore, it is possible to transport automotive parts of different heights. During transport, only one of the moving wheels 209 needs to be rotated via the hub motor. With the help of three additional moving wheels 209, the automotive parts can be automatically transported. The automotive parts are then placed on the upper end of the fixed plate 102 on the receiving plate 101. The fixed plate 102, made of magnets, is magnetically connected to the automotive parts, which initially improves the stability of the transport. Then, the slider 109 is controlled to move along the slide 108, thereby controlling the distance between the two gantry frames 103, and thus positioning automotive parts of different sizes. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 104 lowers the extrusion block 105 to extrude and position the automotive parts, so as to significantly improve the safety of the automotive parts transfer process.
