Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical grippers, specifically a flexible feeding mechanical gripper. Background Technology

[0002] A mechanical gripper is an end effector used in automation and robotic systems, primarily for grasping, handling, and placing various objects. It is widely used in manufacturing, logistics, medical, food processing, and many other fields, improving production efficiency, reducing manual labor, and increasing work accuracy.

[0003] In the existing technology, during the tire processing, mechanical grippers are needed to grasp and load the tires. However, most mechanical grippers lack the function of adjusting the size, making it difficult to grip tires of different outer diameters. This makes the mechanical grippers inflexible and unable to fit the tire surface well, resulting in unstable gripping. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, most mechanical grippers lack the ability to adjust their size, making it difficult to grip tires of different outer diameters. This results in inflexible grippers that cannot properly conform to the tire surface, leading to unstable gripping. This invention proposes a flexible feeding mechanical gripper.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a flexible feeding mechanical gripper, including a three-axis pneumatic gripper, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the three-axis pneumatic gripper, a spring piston is provided on the top of the fixed plate, a transition joint is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed plate, and a tire is provided on one side of the transition joint.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the three-axis pneumatic gripper, and the surface of the connecting block is provided with a threaded groove.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the transition joint is provided with an L-shaped support block, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the tire is provided with a rubber block, and one side of the rubber block is fixedly connected to one side of the transition joint.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the fixing plate is provided with a placement groove, the inner cavity of the placement groove is fixedly connected to a first magnet block, a second magnet block is provided on the top of the first magnet block, and the top of the second magnet block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring piston.

[0010] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate, and one side of the reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the three-axis pneumatic gripper.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model's three-axis pneumatic gripper uses three flexible and controllable structures to move multiple transition joints via a fixed plate. These joints grip the tire, enabling loading. The gripper primarily uses vacuum suction for stable tire handling. A spring piston located on the upper side of the fixed plate allows for size adjustment, enabling the gripper to handle tires of different outer diameters. This enhances flexibility. The transition joints can also be angled at the bottom of the fixed plate, ensuring better contact with the tire surface for more stable and precise gripping. This adaptability to different tire sizes saves labor time and increases production efficiency. It solves the problem of most three-axis pneumatic grippers lacking size adjustment capabilities, making them unsuitable for gripping tires of different outer diameters, resulting in inflexibility, poor tire contact, and unstable gripping.

[0019] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0021] This application discloses a flexible feeding mechanical gripper. (Refer to...) Figure 1-2 A flexible feeding mechanical gripper includes a three-axis pneumatic gripper 1, a fixed plate 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1, a spring piston 3 provided on the top of the fixed plate 2, a transition joint 4 rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 2, and a tire 5 provided on one side of the transition joint 4.

[0022] The three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 is a clamping tool with three independent and flexible controllable structures. It can simulate the gripping action of a human hand to achieve stable clamping of the tire 5. The three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 mainly uses vacuum adsorption to clamp the tire 5. The fixing plate 2 can be used to connect the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 and the spring piston 3, so that the spring piston 3 can be stably positioned on one side of the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1. The size of the spring piston 3 can be adjusted on the fixing plate 2, so that the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 can perform clamping operations on tires 5 of different outer diameters, making the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 more flexible. The transition joint 4 can be adjusted in angle, so that the transition joint 4 can better fit the surface of the tire 5, making the gripping more stable and precise in positioning, and can adapt to tires 5 of different sizes, thereby saving labor time and improving production efficiency.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 A connecting block 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1. The surface of the connecting block 6 is provided with a threaded groove 7. The connecting block 6 is connected to one side of the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1. Bolts can be connected through the threaded groove 7 on the surface, so that the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 can be fixed to the worktable by bolts, so that the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 can be stabilized and used smoothly.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 The bottom of the transition joint 4 is provided with an L-shaped support block 8. One side of the L-shaped support block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 2. The L-shaped support block 8 can be used to support the transition joint 4, so that the transition joint 4 has better stability when rotating at the bottom of the fixed plate 2 and is less prone to downward breakage and deformation.

[0025] Reference Figure 2The surface of the tire 5 is provided with a rubber block 9. One side of the rubber block 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the transition joint 4. The rubber block 9 can increase the friction of the transition joint 4, so that when the transition joint 4 clamps the tire 5, it can increase the friction between the transition joint 4 and the tire 5, making the tire 5 more stable and less likely to fall off when clamped by the transition joint 4.

[0026] Reference Figure 3-4 The surface of the fixing plate 2 is provided with a placement groove 10. A first magnet block 11 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove 10. A second magnet block 12 is provided on the top of the first magnet block 11. The top of the second magnet block 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring piston 3. The interior of the placement groove 10 can be used to place the first magnet block 11 and the second magnet block 12. The first magnet block 11 and the second magnet block 12 can be magnetically attracted together, so that the spring piston 3 can be stably placed on the upper side of the fixing plate 2. At the same time, the first magnet block 11 and the second magnet block 12 can also be detached to disassemble the spring piston 3.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 A reinforcing rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 2. One side of the reinforcing rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1. The reinforcing rod 13 can reinforce the connection between the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 and the fixed plate 2, making the connection between the fixed plate 2 and the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 more secure and less prone to breakage or damage.

[0028] Working Principle: When using this device, the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 firstly uses three flexible and controllable structures to drive multiple transition joints 4 through the fixed plate 2, allowing the multiple transition joints 4 to clamp the tire 5, thereby realizing the loading process of the tire 5. The three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 mainly uses vacuum adsorption to clamp the tire 5, which is more stable. The spring piston 3 is located on the upper side of the fixed plate 2 and can be adjusted in size on the fixed plate 2, so that the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 can clamp tires 5 of different outer diameters, making the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 more flexible. At the same time, the transition joints 4 can also be adjusted at the bottom of the fixed plate 2, so that the transition joints 4 can better fit the surface of the tire 5, making the gripping more stable and precise, and adaptable to tires 5 of different sizes. This saves labor time and costs and improves production efficiency. This solves the problem that most three-axis pneumatic grippers 1 lack the function of adjusting the size, making it difficult to clamp tires 5 of different outer diameters, which makes the three-axis pneumatic gripper 1 inflexible and unable to better fit the surface of the tire 5, resulting in unstable gripping.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
