[0022] 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.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] This embodiment provides a contour-following adaptive positioning device, specifically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, it includes:
[0026] The terminal execution mechanism 10 is used to execute a preset processing task. The terminal execution mechanism 10 includes a mounting base, on which two sets of execution units are symmetrically arranged.
[0027] XY-axis adaptive mechanism 20 is used to clamp the workpiece and adjust its own position. The XY-axis adaptive mechanism 20 includes a clamping drive and two contouring models 201 that are connected to the clamping drive. The shape of the contouring model 201 matches the contour of the workpiece to be detected and can fit against the surface of the workpiece.
[0028] Z-axis positioning mechanism 30 is used to adjust the position of terminal actuator 10 and XY-axis adaptive mechanism 20 according to the workpiece position. Z-axis positioning mechanism 30 includes a connecting base, and a connecting plate 305 is provided on the mounting base. Terminal actuator 10 and XY-axis adaptive mechanism 20 are both mounted on the connecting plate 305.
[0029] The connecting base includes a positioning mounting plate 301, on which a linear bearing 303 is mounted. A second guide rod 302 is slidably connected to the linear bearing 303. The second guide rod 302 is fixed to the top surface of a Z-direction positioning plate 308 by M8 bolts with spring washers. The bolt holes use an overfit to ensure axial positioning accuracy. A Y-direction linear guide rail 307 is fixedly connected to the Z-direction positioning plate 308. A slider connecting plate 309 is slidably connected to the Y-direction linear guide rail 307. An X-direction linear guide rail 306 is fixedly connected to the slider connecting plate 309. A connecting plate 305 is slidably mounted on the X-direction linear guide rail 306. A guide rod end plate 304 is mounted at the end of the second guide rod 302. The outer diameter of the guide rod end plate 304 is larger than the diameter of the second guide rod 302 for limiting and preventing the second guide rod 302 from falling off during axial movement.
[0030] Specifically, the connecting plate 305 is machined with high-precision positioning pin holes and bolt mounting holes. One side is fixed to the terminal actuator 10 with M8 socket head cap screws and anti-loosening washers, and the other side is connected to the XY axis adaptive mechanism 20 with M6 cross slot bolts. The bolt spacing conforms to the equal strength distribution principle specified in the mechanical design to ensure uniform load transmission.
[0031] The positioning mounting plate 301 is installed on the robot or robotic arm. When in use, the Z-axis positioning mechanism 30 first measures and positions the height. After reaching the target height, the XY-axis adaptive mechanism 20 starts. At this time, the two contour models 201 move closer to each other until the contour models 201 are completely attached to the workpiece surface. Then the terminal execution mechanism 10 starts to execute the specific task until the task is completed.
[0032] Example 2:
[0033] This embodiment further extends the XY-axis adaptive mechanism 20 based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the clamping drive includes a limiting cylinder 203, which is mounted on the connecting plate 305. A cylinder piston rod 205 is provided on the limiting cylinder 203, and the cylinder piston rod 205 is slidably connected to the model mounting base 202. The model mounting base 202 is connected to the contour model 201, and the model mounting base 202 is connected to the limiting cylinder 203 through a first guide rod 204.
[0034] The model mounting base 202 is provided with a dovetail groove, and the contour model 201 is installed in the dovetail groove by connecting bolts 206.
[0035] This setting enables the two contour models 201 to move synchronously, and the contour model 201 can be quickly assembled and disassembled from the model mounting base 202. After assembly, the dovetail groove provides a secure fit. This makes it suitable for quickly changing the contour model 201 according to the workpiece specifications.
[0036] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.
[0037] Example 3:
[0038] This embodiment further expands the terminal actuator 10 based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the execution unit includes a lifting cylinder 105, a gripper cylinder seat 107, and a clamping component. The output end of the lifting cylinder 105 is operatively connected to the gripper cylinder seat 107. The clamping component is mounted on the gripper cylinder seat 107 and includes a gripper cylinder 111 and a gripper 112. The gripper 112 is operatively connected to the output end of the gripper cylinder 111. A pressure head bracket 113 is mounted on the gripper cylinder 111, and a pressure head 114 is mounted on the pressure head bracket 113. The pressure head bracket 113 and the pressure head 114 can clamp or process the workpiece according to the task requirements. The lifting cylinder 105 is used to adjust the height of the clamping component.
[0039] The execution unit also includes a buffer spring sleeve 106 and a connecting piece 109. The output end of the lifting cylinder 105 is connected to one end of the buffer spring sleeve 106, and the other end of the buffer spring sleeve 106 is connected to the connecting piece 109. The connecting piece 109 is mounted on the gripper cylinder seat 107. The buffer spring sleeve 106 is used to absorb vibrations during the movement of the gripper and maintain the stability of its movement.
[0040] The mounting base includes a mounting base plate 101, on which a compensation block 102 is mounted. The compensation block 102 is fixed to the mounting base plate 101 by M6 cross-slot bolts. Different height compensations are achieved by adding or removing stainless steel shims. A linear guide mounting plate 103 is mounted on the compensation block 102. A transverse linear guide 108 and a longitudinal linear guide 110 are mounted on the linear guide mounting plate 103. A gripper cylinder seat 107 is slidably connected to the longitudinal linear guide 110. A lifting cylinder mounting block 104 is slidably connected to the transverse linear guide 108. A lifting cylinder bracket 115 is mounted on the lifting cylinder mounting block 104, and a lifting cylinder 105 is mounted on the lifting cylinder bracket 115. Threaded locking adhesive is used during guide rail installation and cylinder fixing to ensure connection stability under vibration.
