AI Technical Summary
Existing high-temperature casting clamping devices lack a structure that allows for flexible adjustment of the clamping posture and angle. This makes high-temperature castings susceptible to thermal expansion during forging, leading to localized stress concentration, surface indentations, microcracks, and structural deformation. This affects the precision and consistency of the finished product and also poses a high operational risk.
A robotic arm for forging high-temperature castings was designed. It uses a servo motor and a force control sensor to achieve flexible adjustment of the gripping posture and angle of the high-temperature castings. The servo motor adjusts the gripping posture, and the force control sensor optimizes the grinding path and pressure parameters, dynamically adjusting the posture and feed speed of the robotic arm.
It improves the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of high-temperature castings, avoids uneven residues, reduces operator risks, and enhances processing consistency and the practicality of the equipment.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of high-temperature casting processing equipment, and in particular to a clamping robotic arm for high-temperature casting forging. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature castings refer to metal components that are used in high-temperature environments or need to withstand high temperatures during manufacturing. They are usually made of materials such as heat-resistant steel and high-temperature alloys. After casting, high-temperature castings need to be removed from the furnace or die-casting machine.
[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Publication No. CN216828473U, this utility model provides a forging device for clamping and handling high-temperature castings, including: a base, a worktable fixedly installed on the top of the base, and two sliding grooves formed on the top surface of the worktable. When the second motor rotates, it drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the clamping plates. This allows the two clamping plates to move closer together for clamping or to separate, facilitating the clamping of the workpiece. The rotation of the first motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby changing the position of the mounting plate and thus handling the clamped casting. The cooperation between the sliding grooves and the slider allows for quick replacement of the clamps, facilitating the clamping and fixing of different parts. Simultaneously, the rotating limiting plate allows for quick fixing of the clamps and the worktable, making it convenient for the user.
[0004] While the above-mentioned solutions have the advantages mentioned above, their disadvantages lie in the lack of a structure that allows for flexible adjustment of the clamping posture and angle when handling high-temperature castings. High-temperature castings have complex shapes and are easily affected by thermal expansion during forging. The rigid clamping angle is difficult to adapt to the geometry of the casting, which may cause local stress concentration, resulting in surface indentations, microcracks, or even structural deformation of the casting. This affects the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the finished product. Furthermore, uneven residues may occur when deburring and grinding heavy castings, affecting product processing consistency and increasing the manual risk for operators. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gripping robotic arm for high-temperature casting forging. This invention designs a structure that flexibly adjusts the gripping posture and angle when gripping high-temperature castings. High-temperature castings have complex shapes and are easily affected by thermal expansion during the forging process. The flexible gripping posture and angle can adapt to the geometry of the casting, avoiding local stress concentration that could cause indentations, microcracks, or even structural deformation on the surface of the casting. This improves the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the finished product, avoids uneven residues during surface deburring and grinding of heavy castings, improves product processing consistency, and reduces manual risks for operators.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a gripping robotic arm for high-temperature casting forging, comprising:
[0007] A substrate, wherein a rotary table is fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the substrate, and further includes:
[0008] A mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotary table. A first servo motor is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the mounting bracket, and the output shaft of the first servo motor is movably connected to the rotary table. A first heat-resistant rotating arm is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the mounting bracket, and an adjusting arm is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the mounting bracket. Two second servo motors are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the mounting bracket. The output shaft of one second servo motor is fixedly connected to the first heat-resistant rotating arm, and the output shaft of the other second servo motor is fixedly connected to the adjusting arm.

The first servo motor... The motor, specifically the first servo motor, works with the rotary table to rotate the mounting bracket relative to the base plate, adjusting the horizontal angle at which the device grips the high-temperature casting. Activating one side of the second servo motor causes the first heat-resistant rotating arm to rotate relative to the mounting bracket, adjusting the vertical angle at which the device grips the high-temperature casting. Activating the other side of the second servo motor causes the adjusting arm to rotate relative to the mounting bracket, which, in turn, rotates the second heat-resistant rotating arm relative to the first heat-resistant rotating arm under the action of the connecting rod. This allows the first heat-resistant rotating arm to rotate relative to the first heat-resistant rotating arm when the device grips the high-temperature casting. The included angle of the second heat-resistant rotating arm is adjusted, the drive servo motor group is turned on, and the output end of the drive servo motor group drives the connecting shaft to rotate relative to the second heat-resistant rotating arm. The reducer is turned on to drive the movable wrist and the fixed flange to rotate relative to the connecting shaft. The fixed flange is used to install the high-temperature casting positioning and clamping mechanism. The force control sensor installed on the force control sensor mounting plate inside the fixed flange records and optimizes the grinding path and pressure parameters when the device deburrs and grinds the surface of the high-temperature casting, dynamically adjusts the posture, pressure and feed speed of the robotic arm, eliminates differences in human experience and improves the consistency of the device process.

Both auxiliary spring cylinders are rotatably connected to the first heat-resistant rotating arm. The two auxiliary spring cylinders extend and retract when the first heat-resistant rotating arm rotates relative to the mounting bracket, thereby improving the stability of the first heat-resistant rotating arm rotating relative to the mounting bracket.
[0010] Preferably, a base is fixedly disposed on the bottom outer surface of the substrate, and positioning plates are fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the four corners of the base. The base, together with multiple positioning plates, positions and supports the substrate.

[0015] Preferably, a first limiter plate is fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the substrate, and a second limiter plate is fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the substrate.
