Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automated gripping auxiliary device for motor housings, belonging to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for motor housing processing. Background Technology

[0002] The horizontal machining of motor seats relies on manual loading, which is complex. To minimize post-loading adjustments, workers must first find the correct angle and then place the workpiece onto the fixture. After machining, the workpiece is manually removed, a labor-intensive and time-consuming process that requires worker rest and disrupts production rhythm. Automated loading and unloading of motor seats using robots would not only save manpower but also improve processing efficiency. Currently, however, there are no robotic grippers specifically designed to fit the shape of the motor seat. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an auxiliary device for automated gripping of motor bases.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] An auxiliary device for automated gripping of a motor base includes a base plate connected to a robot. The base plate is provided with a gripping component and a clamping component. The gripping component includes a cylinder and multiple grippers. The cylinder is installed at the bottom of the base plate and drives the grippers to release or clamp the workpiece. The clamping component is used to clamp the workpiece when the grippers release the workpiece.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model connects the robot and the cylinder through the base plate, and the cylinder drives the gripper to release or clamp the workpiece. Multiple grippers can improve the stability when gripping the workpiece. When the gripper releases the workpiece, the clamping component clamps the workpiece, which can prevent the workpiece from shaking or even tipping over.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a push plate and a plurality of push rods mounted on the push plate, the push plate being connected to the cylinder via a spring.

[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution are: the cylinder is designed with a spring inside, and by the cylinder clamping the workpiece and squeezing the spring, an outward pushing force is obtained, which drives the push plate and push rod to press the workpiece. When the workpiece is loaded onto the hydraulic tooling of the horizontal machining center, it plays a role in preventing the workpiece from tipping over.

[0009] Furthermore, a clamping block is provided at the bottom of the push rod.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the stability of the push rod pressing the workpiece is improved by the clamping block.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping block is made of nylon.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the clamping block is made of nylon material to avoid indentation when clamping the workpiece.

[0013] Furthermore, the gripper is provided with three grippers, with a gripping pad one located in the middle of the inner side of the gripper and a gripping pad two located at the lower part of the gripper.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution are: the three grippers grip the workpiece more stably, and the gripping pads one and two on the inner side of the grippers grip the small diameter outer circle side and the large diameter outer circle side of the workpiece respectively. Since the workpiece is first processed in the vertical machining center and then needs to be processed in the horizontal machining center, the workpiece is in the small diameter cylinder facing upwards when it is in the vertical machining center. When loading to the horizontal machining center, the workpiece needs to be flipped. Therefore, the grippers are adapted to the flipping loading method, and can grip both the small diameter outer circle side and the large diameter outer circle side.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the gripper is provided with an anti-detachment plate.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the anti-detachment hook plate prevents the workpiece from falling during the gripping process.

[0017] Furthermore, sensors are provided on the side of the gripper.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions is that they can be used to detect the presence or absence of workpieces.

[0019] Furthermore, a bracket is mounted on the base plate, and a camera is mounted on the bracket.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the position of the workpiece is determined by the vision system using a camera, and then the robot is driven to accurately grasp the workpiece, thus realizing the function of automatically determining the position of the workpiece.

[0021] Furthermore, a mounting plate is installed on the bracket, and a light source is provided on the mounting plate.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions is that it provides light source support for the operation of the camera.

[0023] Furthermore, a connecting buckle is connected to the base plate.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are: they are used to fix the corrugated pipe of the robot, which facilitates installation and connection. Attached Figure Description

Specifically, the cylinder 2 has a cavity inside for accommodating the springs 17, which are located within the cavity. The ends of the springs 17 are connected to the push plate 8 (see [link to documentation]). Figure 7 When the cylinder 2 clamps the workpiece 16, it compresses the spring, which in turn causes the push plate 8 to be pushed outward, driving the push rod 9 to press the workpiece 16. When the workpiece 16 is loaded onto the hydraulic tooling of the horizontal machining center, it plays a role in preventing the workpiece from tipping over.

[0036] A clamping block 10 is provided at the bottom of the push rod 9. The clamping block 10 is made of nylon. The clamping block 10 improves the stability of the push rod 9 clamping the workpiece 16; the clamping block 10 is made of nylon to avoid indentation when clamping the workpiece 16.

[0037] The gripper 3 has three grippers. The gripper 3 has a gripping pad 4 in the middle of its inner side. The gripping pad 4 is used to grip the small diameter outer circle side of the workpiece 16. The gripper 3 has a gripping pad 5 in the lower part. The gripping pad 5 is used to grip the large diameter outer circle side of the workpiece 16.

[0038] The bottom of the gripper 3 is provided with an anti-detachment plate 6. The anti-detachment plate 6 supports the workpiece 16 and prevents the workpiece 16 from falling during the gripping process.
