[0018] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 The diagram shows a starch sack stacking robot, including a main beam 1. Two parallel main beams 1 are equipped with two symmetrically arranged drive structures 2. Several L-shaped grippers 3 are installed side by side on the drive structures 2. A dust suction connection structure 4 is provided above the L-shaped grippers 3 on the drive structures 2. The dust suction connection structure 4 includes a three-way pipe 401 and a horizontal pipe 405. The L-shaped grippers 3 are hollow and open at the vertical end. A flexible hose 403 is installed at the top of the L-shaped grippers 3 through a fitting 404. The bottom of the horizontal pipe 405 located above the L-shaped grippers 3 is fixedly connected to the flexible hose 403. The other end of the horizontal pipe 405 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped pipe 402. The two symmetrical ends of the three-way pipe 401 are fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the L-shaped pipe 402. Several through holes 301 are opened on the two side walls of the L-shaped grippers 3.
[0020] It is worth noting that the drive structure 2 drives the L-shaped gripper 3 to move. When the L-shaped gripper 3 moves to the position of the starch bag, the open part of the vertical end of the L-shaped gripper 3 clamps the starch bag. At this time, the vacuuming connection structure 4 can be connected to the external vacuum cleaner pipe and start working. The air inside the L-shaped gripper 3 is extracted through the hose 403 and the horizontal pipe 405 to form a negative pressure. Since there are several through holes 301 on both sides of the L-shaped gripper 3, the negative pressure generated by the vacuuming connection structure 4 can also suck away the dust and powder on the surface of the starch bag and discharge it into the vacuum cleaner through the L-shaped pipe 402 and the three-way pipe 401, thereby achieving the cleaning effect of the starch bag and avoiding the impact of dust and powder on the environment and human health.
[0021] One end of the flexible hose 403 is threaded to the fitting 404, and the other end is sealed to the bottom of the horizontal pipe 405 to ensure no leakage at the connection and guarantee the dust collection effect. The fitting 404 not only facilitates the connection between the flexible hose 403 and the L-shaped gripper 3, but also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the flexible hose 403, improving the flexibility and maintenance convenience of the equipment. In addition, the flexible hose 403 is made of a material with good flexibility and wear resistance, which can adapt to the deformation of the L-shaped gripper 3 during movement, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the dust collection connection structure 4.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two parallel main beams 1 are fixedly connected to the top of an mounting plate 5. The mounting plate 5 has several evenly arranged mounting holes 501. Through these mounting holes 501, the multi-axis robot arm can be assembled, so that the entire palletizing mechanical gripper can be stably installed on the multi-axis robot. The design of the mounting holes 501 not only takes into account the convenience of installation, but also ensures the firmness of the installation.
[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drive structure 2 includes a cylinder 201 and a T-shaped plate 202. Two symmetrically arranged T-shaped plates 202 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the main beam 1. Bushings 208 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the main beam 1. A rotating shaft 209 is provided between the two bushings 208. Curved clamping arms 205 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 209. Inclined side plates 2012 are installed on the inner side walls of the curved clamping arms 205. The inner side surfaces of the inclined side plates 2012 are connected to the outer side walls of the vertical ends of the L-shaped grippers 3. The horizontal tube 405 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the curved clamping arm 205. Two clamping plates 204 are fixedly connected to the top of the T-shaped plate 202. The two clamping plates 204 are rotatably connected to the cylinder 201 through the first pin 206. The output end of the cylinder 201 is rotatably connected to the drive arm 2010 through the second pin 207. The top of the T-shaped plate 202 has an elongated cavity 203. The drive arm 2010 passes through the elongated cavity 203 and is fixedly sleeved at the center position of the rotating shaft 209.
[0024] The drive arm 2010 can slide freely in the elongated cavity 203. When the cylinder 201 works, its output end pushes the drive arm 2010 to move along the elongated cavity 203, thereby driving the rotating shaft 209 to rotate between the two bushings 208. Since both ends of the rotating shaft 209 are equipped with curved clamping arms 205, the curved clamping arms 205 will swing as the rotating shaft 209 rotates, thereby driving the L-shaped gripper 3 to open and close, which can realize the fast and accurate stacking of starch sacks.
[0025] See Figure 5The two ends of the rotating shaft 209 are fixedly fitted with mounting sleeves 2013. The side wall of the curved clamping arm 205 and the outer side wall of the mounting sleeve 2013 are provided with a number of annular threaded holes 2015. The bottom side of the curved clamping arm 205 and the adjacent inclined side plate 2012 are provided with a number of countersunk holes 2011.
[0026] The threaded hole 2015 facilitates the fixed connection of the curved clamping arm 205 to the mounting sleeve 2013 by bolts, enhancing the stability of the structure. The bolt assembly that matches the countersunk hole 2011 can install the inclined side plate 2012 to the curved clamping arm 205.
[0027] The inclined side plate 2012 is provided with stepped grooves 2014 at the L-shaped gripper 3, and the vertical end side wall of the L-shaped gripper 3 is provided with an integrally formed protrusion 302.
[0028] The cooperation between the protrusion 302 and the stepped groove 2014, through the embedding of the protrusion 302 into the stepped groove 2014, not only significantly enhances the welding connection stability between the L-shaped gripper 3 and the inclined side plate 2012, but also ensures the smoothness of the L-shaped gripper 3 in opening and closing operations, preventing welding deviations caused by shaking or misalignment. The design of the stepped groove 2014 provides a preset limit function for the L-shaped gripper 3, ensuring the accuracy of the welding fixing position and improving the accuracy of installation.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
