Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of culture plate stacking technology, specifically to a gripper structure of a three-compartment collaborative stacking device. Background Technology
[0002] SBS standard plates, or Society for Biomolecular Screening standard bacterial culture plates, are commonly stored in stacking bins in the biomedical field. Current mainstream solutions have two main technical drawbacks: one is the stacking system based on industrial robot collaboration, such as a six-axis robotic arm with a rotating hopper, which can achieve multi-specification compatibility but suffers from excessively high equipment purchase and maintenance costs; the other is a fixed side clamping plate structure with a bottom lifting mechanism to place the SBS standard plates in the stacking bin.
[0003] While the fixed side clamping plate structure offers cost control, its constant and unadjustable lateral clamping force makes it difficult to adapt to consumables with different surface characteristics, easily leading to clamping failure and the dropping of standard bacterial culture plates. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a gripper structure for a three-compartment collaborative stacking device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a gripper structure for a three-compartment collaborative stacking device, comprising: a gripper motor installed on the stacking compartment, wherein a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm are respectively installed on the two output ends of the gripper motor, and connecting parts are provided on the opposite surfaces of the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm;
[0006] Both connectors are equipped with gripper heads at their tops and guide assemblies at their bottoms.
[0007] The gripper head includes a connecting crossbar for mounting on a connector. Both ends of the connecting crossbar are provided with clamping portions, and the surface of the clamping portions is provided with a support plate portion.
[0008] Preferably, an adjustment plate is mounted on the surface of the second connecting arm, and the adjustment plate is mounted on the surface of the connector.
[0009] Preferably, the guide assembly includes a guide block and a guide slide rail. The guide block is installed at the bottom of the connector, and the inner wall of the guide block is slidably connected to the surface of the guide slide rail.
[0010] Preferably, each guide assembly contains two guide blocks and two guide rails, and the two guide blocks and guide rails are symmetrically arranged with the central vertical plane passing through the connector as the symmetrical surface.
[0011] Preferably, both the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm are L-shaped.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the connector is provided with an adjustable waist-shaped groove.
[0013] Preferably, the surface of the tray portion is provided with a beveled portion.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The gripper structure of this three-compartment collaborative stacking device includes a connecting crossbar, a clamping part, and a tray part. After the standard bacterial culture plate enters the stacking compartment, the gripper motor is activated. The gripper motor drives the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm to move towards each other, causing the gripper head to clamp. The clamping part clamps the side of the standard bacterial culture plate, while the tray part supports the standard bacterial culture plate to prevent it from falling. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3A gripper structure for a three-compartment collaborative stacking device includes: a gripper motor 1 mounted on a stacking compartment 10; a first connecting arm 2 and a second connecting arm 3 respectively mounted on the two output ends of the gripper motor 1; a connector 4 is provided on the opposite surfaces of the first connecting arm 2 and the second connecting arm 3; the first connecting arm 2 and the second connecting arm 3 are both L-shaped; a gripper head 5 is mounted on the top of each connector 4; and a guide assembly 6 is mounted on the bottom of each connector 4. The gripper head 5 includes a connecting crossbar 51 for mounting on the connector 4; clamping portions 52 are provided at both ends of the connecting crossbar 51; and a support plate portion 53 is provided on the surface of each clamping portion 52. The surface of the support plate portion 53 is provided with an inclined portion 9, which facilitates insertion into the bottom of a standard bacterial culture plate, so that the support plate portion 53 supports the standard bacterial culture plate.
[0022] The surface of the second connecting arm 3 is equipped with an adjustment plate 7, which is installed on the surface of the connector 4. The connector 4 is installed by adjusting the plate 7 so that the height of the two gripper heads 5 is consistent and the pallet part 53 is at the same level.
[0023] The guide assembly 6 includes a guide block 61 and a guide rail 62. The guide block 61 is installed at the bottom of the connector 4. The inner wall of the guide block 61 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 62. There are two guide blocks 61 and two guide rails 62. The two guide blocks 61 and guide rails 62 are symmetrically arranged with the vertical plane passing through the center of the connector 4 as the symmetrical plane. The guide rail 62 is installed on the support frame of the three-compartment collaborative stacking device. When the gripper head 5 moves, the guide block 61 is driven to slide on the surface of the guide rail 62 through the connector 4 to guide the gripper head 5 and make the movement of the gripper head 5 stable. The top of the connector 4 is provided with an adjustment waist groove 8. The tool can pass through the adjustment waist groove 8 to tighten the bolts between the connector 4 and the guide block 61.
[0024] After the standard bacterial culture plate enters the stacking compartment 10, the gripper motor 1 is activated. The gripper motor 1 drives the first connecting arm 2 and the second connecting arm 3 to move towards each other. The first connecting arm 2 drives the gripper head 5 to move through the connector 4. The second connecting arm 3 drives the adjusting plate to move. The adjusting plate drives the gripper head 5 to move, so that the two gripper heads 5 move towards each other to clamp the standard bacterial culture plate. The gripping part 52 of the gripper head 5 clamps the side of the standard bacterial culture plate, while the support part 53 supports the standard bacterial culture plate to prevent it from falling.
