Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics technology, and more specifically, to a steel cylinder storage and handling robot. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, firstly, existing clamping mechanisms often rely on complex operating procedures or human assistance in the process of clamping and fixing gas cylinders, lacking an efficient and stable clamping mechanism. This not only reduces the automation level of the equipment, but also makes it easy for the gas cylinder to slide, tilt or collide due to unstable clamping during operation, posing a significant safety hazard.
[0003] Secondly, as an important component for realizing robot visual recognition and environmental perception, the installation and disassembly methods of cameras also have obvious shortcomings in the existing technology. Most robots use bolts or fixed brackets to connect the camera to the body. When maintenance, upgrade, replacement or readjustment of the perspective is required, disassembly operations are often required with the help of tools. The process is cumbersome and time-consuming, which is not conducive to the daily maintenance and flexible application of the equipment.
[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies also lack efficient and convenient quick-fixing structures during the re-fixing process of cameras. When reinstalling cameras, precise alignment is usually required, and multi-point fixing methods are used to ensure that they do not shift or loosen during transportation. This not only increases the difficulty of operation but also reduces the overall debugging efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a steel cylinder storage and transportation clamping robot, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The motor-driven gear system drives the linkage between the connecting rod and the clamping seat, enabling the clamping structure to rotate flexibly. This allows for adaptive adjustment based on the different diameters or shapes of the gas cylinders, thus achieving a stable clamping of the gas cylinders. By using a cylinder to control the coordinated action of the rotating plate and the clamping plate, the other end of the gas cylinder can be automatically locked, improving clamping efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
[0019] 2. The disassembly of components allows for the installation and replacement of cameras without the need for tools, and can be completed simply by sliding, rotating, and snapping. This greatly improves the maintainability and operational efficiency of the equipment. The design of the through slot and the rotating rod makes the sliding and positioning process smoother.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 A cylinder storage and handling clamping robot includes a vehicle body 1, on which a clamping assembly is provided. The clamping assembly includes a housing 2, a mounting base 3, a motor 4, a gear 5, and a connecting rod 6. The housing 2 is mounted on the vehicle body 1, the mounting base 3 is mounted on the housing 2, the motor 4 is mounted on the lower end of the mounting base 3, and two gears 5 are rotatably connected to both ends of the mounting base 3. The connecting rod 6 is connected to one end of the gear 5, and the output end of the motor 4 is meshed with one of the gears 5. The two gears 5 are meshed together. A disassembly assembly is provided on the vehicle body 1, which includes a fixed seat 7, a base 8, and a stabilizing plate 9. The fixed seat 7 is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body 1, the base 8 is fixedly mounted on the fixed seat 7, and the stabilizing plate 9 is mounted on the base 8.
[0032] An adjusting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 3, and a clamping seat 11 is rotatably connected to the adjusting rod 10. One end of the clamping seat 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 6. A control seat 12 is installed on the housing 2, and a cylinder 13 is installed on the control seat 12.
[0033] A rotating plate 14 is rotatably connected to the control base 12. The output end of the cylinder 13 is hinged to one end of the rotating plate 14. A control plate 15 is installed on the control base 12. A clamping plate 16 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating plate 14. One end of the clamping plate 16 is rotatably connected to one end of the control plate 15.
[0034] The stabilizing plate 9 has evenly spaced through slots 17, and the base 8 has a detachable mounting rod 18.
[0035] A camera 19 is installed at one end of the mounting rod 18, and a movable sleeve 20 is slidably connected to the base 8.
[0036] A rotating ring 21 is rotatably connected to the movable sleeve 20. Rotating rods 22 are evenly installed on the rotating ring 21. A fixing groove 23 is opened on the rotating rod 22. The fixing groove 23 is adapted to the stabilizing plate 9. The rotating rod 22 is adapted to the through groove 17.
[0037] In this embodiment, during use, the gas cylinder to be fixed is placed in the housing 2. Then, by starting the motor 4, the output gear 5 is rotated, which in turn rotates another gear 5 meshing with it. This rotation causes the connecting rod 6 to rotate, which in turn rotates the clamping seat 11 rotatably connected to it. During the rotation of the clamping seat 11, the adjusting rod 10, which is rotatably connected to the mounting base 3 at one end, rotates, thereby adjusting the clamping seat 11 to a suitable position, thus facilitating the partial fixing of the gas cylinder. Furthermore, during use, by starting the cylinder 13 on the control base 12, the output rotating plate 14 is driven to rotate along one end of the control base 12, causing the cylinder to rotate... One end of the rotating plate 14 drives the clamping plate 16 to rotate, thereby rotating it along the control plate 15 on the control base 12, thus completing the fixing process of the other end of the gas cylinder. When the camera 19 needs to be replaced during use, the moving sleeve 20 slides along the base 8. During the sliding movement, it drives the rotating rod 22 to move along the through groove 17 on the stabilizing plate 9 on the base 8. After the rotating rod 22 passes through, the rotating ring 21 rotates along the moving sleeve 20. During the rotation, the fixing groove 23 on the rotating rod 22 moves away from the through groove 17 on the stabilizing plate 9. During the movement of the moving sleeve 20, the spring 26 between the moving sleeve 20 and the stabilizing plate 9 is compressed. Then, the moving sleeve 20 is released, so that the rotating rod 22 is locked on the stabilizing plate 9.
[0038] Please see Figure 6 As an implementation method of a steel cylinder storage and transportation clamping robot for fixing components: a fixing component is provided on the base 8. The fixing component includes a flip plate 24, a stabilizing block 25 and a spring 26. The flip plate 24 is uniformly rotated and connected to the base 8. The stabilizing block 25 is installed on the movable sleeve 20. One end of the flip plate 24 is in contact with the stabilizing block 25. The spring 26 is connected between the stabilizing plate 9 and the movable sleeve 20.
[0039] The mounting rod 18 has a stabilizing groove 27, which is adapted to the flip plate 24.
[0040] More specifically, during the movement of the movable sleeve 20, the stabilizing block 25 on it moves, releasing the stabilizing block 25 from restricting the flip plate 24. This causes one end of the flip plate 24 to move out of the stabilizing groove 27 of the mounting rod 18, releasing the mounting rod 18 from its fixation. This allows the mounting rod 18 to slide out of the base 8, thus completing the replacement process.
[0041] In summary, during use or operation of the overall equipment: In use, the gas cylinder to be secured is placed in the housing 2. Then, by starting the motor 4, the output gear 5 rotates, causing another gear 5 meshing with it to rotate. This rotation causes the connecting rod 6 to rotate, which in turn rotates the clamping seat 11 connected to it. During the rotation of the clamping seat 11, the adjusting rod 10, which is rotatably connected to the mounting base 3, rotates, adjusting the clamping seat 11 to a suitable position, thus facilitating partial securing of the gas cylinder. Furthermore, by activating the cylinder 13 on the control base 12, the output rotating plate 14 rotates along one end of the control base 12, causing the cylinder to... During the process, one end of the rotating plate 14 drives the clamping plate 16 to rotate, thereby rotating it along the control plate 15 on the control base 12, thus completing the fixing process of the other end of the gas cylinder. When the camera 19 needs to be replaced during use, the moving sleeve 20 slides along the base 8, causing the rotating rod 22 on it to move along the through groove 17 on the stabilizing plate 9 on the base 8. After the rotating rod 22 passes through, the rotating ring 21 rotates along the moving sleeve 20, causing the fixing groove 23 on the rotating rod 22 to move away from the through groove 17 on the stabilizing plate 9. During the movement of the moving sleeve 20, the spring 26 between the moving sleeve 20 and the stabilizing plate 9 is compressed, and then the moving sleeve 20 is released, causing the rotating rod 22 to be locked on the stabilizing plate 9.
[0042] During the movement of the movable sleeve 20, the stabilizing block 25 on it moves, releasing the stabilizing block 25 from restricting the flip plate 24. This causes one end of the flip plate 24 to move out of the stabilizing groove 27 of the mounting rod 18, releasing the mounting rod 18 from its fixation. As a result, the mounting rod 18 can be slid out of the base 8, completing the replacement process.
[0043] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
