[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial handling equipment technology, and in particular to an industrial robot-assisted cloth roll handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the textile industry, the handling of greige fabric rolls is a crucial part of the production process. Currently, most greige fabric roll handling still relies heavily on manual labor, requiring full human involvement from loading and unloading to transportation.

[0003] In large-scale textile production, manual handling has several shortcomings. Firstly, loading and unloading a single roll of greige fabric requires a significant amount of manpower. Relying solely on manual labor results in extremely high labor costs. With socio-economic development, the average wage of manual laborers is constantly rising, inevitably increasing the cost of hiring workers for greige fabric roll handling. Secondly, human strength is significantly limited. After prolonged high-intensity work, workers' efficiency is difficult to maintain. As working hours increase, workers easily become fatigued, leading to decreased handling speed, increased error rates, and consequently, reduced production efficiency. Furthermore, manual handling carries potential risks, such as worker injury due to improper operation or damage to the fabric rolls due to improper handling, affecting product quality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front", "back", "horizontal", and "vertical" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0019] It should be noted that the terms "horizontal" and "vertical" in this utility model are used to describe approximate positional relationships, and not strictly "horizontal plane" or "vertical plane".

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of an industrial robot-assisted fabric roll handling device is illustrated, comprising: an industrial robot 1, a mounting frame 2, a camera 3, and a clamping module 4. The upper end of the mounting frame 2 is connected to the industrial robot 1, and the lower end of the mounting frame 2 is provided with a plurality of clamping modules 4 arranged linearly. The camera 3 is located in the middle of one side of the mounting frame 2.

[0021] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the industrial robot 1 is existing technology, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0022] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, camera 3 has the ability to accurately identify the location and color of a single roll of raw fabric at approximately 3 meters above the tray. Furthermore, camera 3 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the clamp module 4 includes: a cylinder 41, a two-finger clamp 43, a vacuum suction cup 45, a housing 46, a wide rack 44, and a main body connector 42. The upper end of the main body connector 42 is connected to the lower end of the mounting frame 2, and the lower end of the main body connector 42 is rotatably connected to the two-finger clamp 43. The cylinder 41 is mounted on the mounting frame 2, and the output end of the cylinder 41 passes through the mounting frame 2 and the main body connector 42 and is connected to the wide rack 44. The vacuum suction cup 45 is connected to the lower end of the wide rack 44, and the housing 46 is disposed on both sides of the main body connector 42. Furthermore, when it is necessary to grasp the fabric roll, the cylinder 41 extends and drives the wide rack 44 to move downward. The movement of the wide rack 44 will drive the vacuum suction cup 45 to move downward. When the vacuum suction cup 45 moves to the surface of the fabric roll on the fabric tray, the vacuum suction cup 45 is activated so that the vacuum suction cup 45 can adsorb the fabric roll. Then the cylinder 41 retracts and drives the wide rack 44 to move upward, so that the vacuum suction cup 45 can grasp the fabric roll and drive the fabric roll to detach from the fabric tray. Then the industrial robot 1 can move the fabric roll to the designated location. At this time, the cylinder 41 extends and drives the wide rack 44 to move downward, so that the two-finger gripper 43 can release the fabric roll and close the vacuum suction cup 45, so that the fabric roll can be placed at the designated location.

[0024] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the vacuum suction cup 45 has several suction ports for adsorbing the fabric roll.

[0025] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the wide rack 44 includes: an angle fixing rod 441, a wide rack body 442, and a connector 443. The angle fixing rod 441 passes through the main body connector 42. The upper end of the wide rack body 442 is connected to the angle fixing rod 441. The output end of the cylinder 41 passes through the main body connector 42 and is connected to the upper end of the wide rack body 442. A plurality of connectors 443 are provided at the lower end of the wide rack body 442.

[0026] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the vacuum suction cup 45 is connected to the wide rack body 442 via a connector 443.

[0027] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the wide rack body 442 has racks on both sides, and the upper end of the two-finger clamp 43 has a gear. The racks mesh with the gears, and the gears are rotatably connected to the main body connector 42. Furthermore, since the racks on the wide rack body 442 mesh with the gears on the two-finger clamp 43, the two-finger clamp 43 rotates as the wide rack 44 moves. During the process of the cylinder 41 extending and driving the wide rack 44 downwards, the two two-finger clamps 43 rotate in a direction away from each other, and the two two-finger clamps 43 open. At this time, the two two-finger clamps 43 cannot hold the fabric roll. During the process of the cylinder 41 retracting and driving the wide rack 44 upwards, the two two-finger clamps 43 rotate in a direction closer to each other, and the two two-finger clamps 43 retract. At this time, the two two-finger clamps 43 can firmly hold the fabric roll, allowing the fabric roll to be more firmly gripped by the clamp module 4.

[0028] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, two angle fixing rods 441 are provided, arranged in parallel, with the cylinder 41 positioned between them. The angle fixing rods 441 further serve to maintain a stable posture for the wide rack body 442 during movement. When the cylinder 41 drives the wide rack body 442 to move up and down, the angle fixing rods 441 restrict the wide rack body 442 to move only in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the wide rack body 442 from shifting or wobbling during movement.

[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the connector 443 has a first connecting hole, and the wide rack body 442 has a first threaded hole that is directly opposite to the first connecting hole. A first bolt is provided in the first connecting hole and the first threaded hole, and the wide rack body 442 is connected to the connector 443 by the first bolt.

[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the connector 443 is provided with a second connecting hole, and the vacuum suction cup 45 is provided with a second threaded hole that is directly opposite to the second connecting hole. A second bolt is provided in the second connecting hole and the second threaded hole, and the vacuum suction cup 45 is connected to the connector 443 by the second bolt.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Industrial robot 1 first moves the mounting frame 2 above the fabric tray. Then, camera 3 scans the ring barcode on the surface of the fabric roll and feeds back the relevant information to industrial robot 1. Industrial robot 1 then determines the position of the fabric roll based on the information fed back by camera 3. After industrial robot 1 controls the clamping module 4 to move to the designated position according to the position of the fabric roll, the clamping module 4 starts to grab the fabric roll. After the grabbing is completed, industrial robot 1 can move the fabric roll to the designated location.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
