Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive handling technology, and in particular to a fast and automatic clamping mechanism for handling automotive parts. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive parts handling rapid automatic gripping mechanism is an automated equipment that integrates mechanical gripping, intelligent drive, and flexible changeover functions. Its core consists of a flexible gripper assembly adapted to irregularly shaped parts, a pneumatic servo-driven transmission system, a standardized quick-change interface mechanism, and a positioning and sensing module. The gripper opens and closes precisely through a gear, rack, and four-bar transmission structure. Pressure sensors and visual positioning ensure gripping stability. The gripper can be quickly changed using a lever buckle or motor-locking ring quick-change device. It also integrates dustproof and anti-fouling protection and a safety self-locking design. It is used for the efficient handling of various types of parts in oily and dusty environments in automotive workshops, significantly improving the automation flexibility and operational efficiency of the production line.
[0003] In existing automatic gripping mechanisms, manual wiping with detergent is used to clean the grippers. For stubborn stains, the gripper surface can be wiped manually with a clean, soft cloth when the equipment is stopped, or a suitable amount of neutral detergent can be used for cleaning, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying. However, if the wiping force is insufficient, the detergent is used improperly, or the cleaning area is missed, stains will remain, contaminating the parts to be gripped subsequently, leading to malfunctions. Existing technology replaces manual cleaning by installing automatic cleaning equipment. Using an electric motor and infrared sensor positioning, the spray gun can move flexibly on the crossbeam to rinse and clean the grippers. However, the choice of cleaning fluid must be strictly matched to the gripper material. An improper formula can lead to aging, corrosion, and a decrease in the gripper's anti-slip performance. Furthermore, the waste liquid and water mist generated during the cleaning process can pollute the workshop environment, causing secondary pollution. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a fast automatic gripping mechanism for handling automotive parts, aiming to improve the problems of manual cleaning of grippers and potential cleaning hazards in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a quick and automatic clamping mechanism for handling automotive parts, comprising a gripper, a vacuum cleaner mounted on the right rear end of the outer wall of the gripper, a rotating mechanism mounted on the lower end of the outer wall of the vacuum cleaner, the rotating mechanism being used for multi-directional vacuuming by the vacuum cleaner, a clamping mechanism mounted on the middle of the top wall of the gripper, the clamping mechanism being used to clamp the gripper; the rotating mechanism comprising a long plate, the long plate being mounted on the right rear end of the outer wall of the vacuum cleaner, a slide rail being fixedly connected to the front end of the outer wall of the long plate, a sliding column being mounted on the upper front side of the outer wall of the long plate, a fixing column being mounted on the front end of the outer wall of the sliding column, and a drive assembly being mounted on the lower end of the outer wall of the vacuum cleaner.
[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0007] The drive assembly includes an electric push rod, which is installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the vacuum cleaner.

Hollow long blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the outer wall of the connecting column.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The clamping mechanism includes an L-shaped block, which is installed in the middle of the top wall of the gripper. A second rotating shaft is slidably connected to the lower left side of the inner wall of the L-shaped block. A fixing block is installed on the outer wall of the second rotating shaft. A C-shaped block is slidably connected to the middle right side of the inner wall of the L-shaped block. A first rotating shaft is slidably connected to the upper left side of the inner wall of the C-shaped block. A clamping block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] An interface is installed at the rear end of the outer wall of the gripper.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. In this utility model, the electric push rod is activated, which in turn drives the slider to slide. Under the propulsive force generated at the output end of the electric push rod and the guiding action of the slide rail, the slider begins to slide along the slide rail. The slide rail is fixed to the bracket by a long plate. When the slider moves forward, the rotating block begins to rotate through the sliding column, which in turn drives the connecting column fixed to the slider by the fixed column to start rotating synchronously. The hollow long block rotates synchronously with the connecting column, which in turn drives the vacuum cleaner at the top of the hollow long block to perform multi-angle vacuuming, efficiently removing dust and debris from different locations, and improving the flexibility and coverage of cleaning operations.
[0022] 2. In this utility model, pulling the L-shaped blocks on both sides inward causes the C-shaped blocks to rotate accordingly. The L-shaped blocks are mounted on the fixed block via the second rotating shaft. The fixed block is connected to the gripper. The gripping block also rotates synchronously with the C-shaped blocks under the linkage of the first rotating shaft. The relative movement of the gripping blocks on both sides achieves the gripping of the gripper, ensuring that the gripper will not loosen or shift during operation. When the gripper needs to be replaced, pulling the L-shaped blocks on both sides in opposite directions causes the gripping block to rotate counterclockwise, thereby allowing the gripper to be replaced. It can be adapted to various types of grippers to achieve the gripping of different accessories. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Specifically, by activating the electric push rod 2031, the slider 2033 is driven to slide. The output end of the electric push rod 2031 is fixedly connected to the slider 2033. A rotating block 2035 is slidably connected to the upper middle part of the outer wall of the slider 2033.

[0034] Specifically, by pulling the L-shaped blocks 301 on both sides inward, a C-shaped block 303 is slidably connected to the middle right side of the inner wall of the L-shaped block 301, and the C-shaped block 303 rotates accordingly. A rotating shaft 306 is slidably connected to the lower left side of the inner wall of the L-shaped block 301, and a fixing block 302 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 306.

The fixing block 302 is connected to the gripper 1, and the clamping block 304 also rotates synchronously with the C-shaped block 303 under the linkage of the rotating shaft 305. The relative movement of the clamping blocks 304 on both sides is used to clamp the gripper 1, ensuring that the gripper 1 will not loosen or shift during operation. When the gripper 1 needs to be replaced, the L-shaped blocks 301 on both sides are pulled in opposite directions, and the clamping block 304 rotates counterclockwise, so that the gripper 1 can be replaced. It can be adapted to various types of grippers 1 to grasp different accessories.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2An interface 11 is installed at the rear end of the outer wall of the gripper 1. A motor 4 is installed on the right side of the bottom wall of the interface 11.

[0037] Working principle: By activating the electric push rod 2031, the slider 2033 is driven to slide. Under the propulsive force generated at the output end of the electric push rod 2031 and the guiding action of the slide rail 202, the slider 2033 begins to slide along the slide rail 202. The slide rail 202 is fixed to the bracket 7 by the long plate 201. When the slider 2033 moves forward, the rotating block 2035 starts to rotate through the sliding column 204, which in turn drives the connecting column 2034, which is fixed to the slider 2033 by the fixed column 205, to start to rotate synchronously. The hollow long block 2032 rotates synchronously with the connecting column 2034, which in turn drives the vacuum cleaner 5 at the top of the hollow long block 2032 to perform multi-angle vacuuming, efficiently removing dust and debris from different locations, and improving the flexibility and coverage of cleaning operations.
[0038] Pulling the L-shaped blocks 301 inward causes the C-shaped blocks 303 to rotate. The L-shaped blocks 301 are mounted on the fixed block 302 via the second rotating shaft 306. The fixed block 302 is connected to the gripper 1. The clamping block 304 also rotates synchronously with the C-shaped blocks 303 under the linkage of the first rotating shaft 305. The relative movement of the clamping blocks 304 on both sides achieves the clamping of the gripper 1, ensuring that the gripper 1 will not loosen or shift during operation. When the gripper 1 needs to be replaced, pull the L-shaped blocks 301 on both sides in opposite directions, and the clamping blocks 304 rotate counterclockwise, thereby allowing the gripper 1 to be replaced. It can be adapted to various types of grippers 1 to achieve the gripping of different accessories.
