Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of busbar processing technology, specifically relating to a clamping mechanism for a busbar 3D bending robot. Background Technology

[0002] Busbars, also known as copper busbars, are typically made of copper plates. They significantly increase the contact area, thereby effectively reducing energy consumption and temperature rise. Using busbars for wiring offers wide versatility, strong practicality, reliable safety, and time-saving convenience. They are suitable for various building electrical equipment, such as low-voltage power cabinets, distribution boxes, lighting boxes, and other multi-feeder power distribution devices, primarily used to connect the main incoming line to each feeder branch.

[0003] When processing long busbars, busbar bending machines require bending to prevent them from bending under gravity. However, existing auxiliary robots cannot process long busbars due to the poor flexibility of their end grippers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping mechanism for a busbar 3D bending robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a clamping mechanism for a busbar 3D bending robot, comprising a base plate, wherein a rotary cylinder and a connector are fixedly mounted on the base plate, the rotary cylinder is driven to connect a first clamping cylinder, the first clamping cylinder is driven to connect a first clamping block and a second clamping block, the first clamping block is provided with a first notch, and the second clamping block is provided with a second notch.

[0006] Preferably, the base plate is fixedly mounted with a telescopic cylinder and a flange structure, and the telescopic cylinder is driven by a clamping assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a connecting seat and a second clamping cylinder, the second clamping cylinder is driven to connect to a clamping head, the telescopic cylinder is driven to connect to the connecting seat, and the connecting seat is movably connected to the flange structure via an optical axis.

[0008] Preferably, the telescopic cylinder and the clamping mechanism are symmetrically arranged.

[0009] Preferably, the substrate is fixedly mounted with a housing.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] The base plate of this utility model is fixedly mounted with a rotary cylinder and a connector. The connector is used to connect to the robot arm. The rotary cylinder drives a first clamping cylinder to rotate along the Z-axis. The first clamping cylinder drives a first clamping block and a second clamping block to rotate. The first clamping block has a first notch and the second clamping block has a second notch. When the first and second clamping blocks clamp, the first notch and the second notch cooperate to form a circular hole, and the busbar is confined within the circular hole. At this time, the busbar can rotate within the circular hole. During the busbar bending process, the rotary cylinder provides upward flexibility along the Z-axis. At the same time, the circular hole formed by the cooperation of the first and second notches allows the busbar to rotate, which improves the flexibility of the clamping mechanism and makes it easier for the robot-assisted busbar bending machine to handle longer busbars.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] like Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a clamping mechanism for a 3D bending robot for a busbar, comprising a base plate 1. A rotary cylinder 2 and a connector 3 are fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The rotary cylinder 2 is driven by a first clamping cylinder 4, which in turn is driven by a first clamping block 5 and a second clamping block 6. The first clamping block 5 has a first notch 7, and the second clamping block 6 has a second notch 8. A telescopic cylinder 9 and a flange structure 10 are fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The telescopic cylinder 9 is driven by a clamping assembly 11. The clamping mechanism 11 includes a connecting seat 12 and a second clamping cylinder 13. The second clamping cylinder 13 is driven by a clamping head 14, and the telescopic cylinder 9 is driven by the connecting seat 12. The connecting seat 12 is movably connected to the flange structure 10 via an optical axis 15. The telescopic cylinder 9 and the clamping mechanism 11 are symmetrically arranged. A housing 16 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the base plate 1 of this utility model is fixedly mounted with a rotary cylinder 2 and a connector 3. The connector 3 is used to connect the robot arm. The rotary cylinder 2 drives the first clamping cylinder 4 to rotate along the Z-axis. The first clamping cylinder 4 drives the first clamping block 5 and the second clamping block 6 to rotate. The first clamping block 5 is provided with a first notch 7, and the second clamping block 6 is provided with a second notch 8. When the first clamping block 5 and the second clamping block 6 clamp, the first notch 7 and the second notch 8 cooperate to form a circular hole, and the busbar is restricted in the circular hole. At this time, the busbar can rotate and move within the circular hole. During the busbar bending process, the rotary cylinder 2 provides upward flexibility along the Z-axis. At the same time, the circular hole formed by the cooperation of the first notch 7 and the second notch 8 allows the busbar to rotate and move, which improves the flexibility of the clamping mechanism and makes it easier for the robot-assisted busbar bending machine to handle longer busbars.

[0022] Example 2:

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the base plate 1 of this invention serves as the base of the entire clamping mechanism, providing a stable mounting platform for other components. The rotary cylinder 2 and the connecting piece 3 are both fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The rotary cylinder 2 is capable of rotational movement in the vertical direction, providing the clamping mechanism with a degree of freedom of movement in the Z-axis direction. The connecting piece 3 connects the entire clamping mechanism to the robot arm, ensuring that the clamping mechanism can move with the robot arm. The first clamping cylinder 4 is driven and connected to the rotary cylinder 2, rotating in the Z-axis direction with the rotary cylinder 2. The first clamping cylinder 4 is driven and connected to a first clamping block 5 and a second clamping block 6, controlling the opening and closing of the two clamping blocks. The first clamping block 5 has a first notch 7, and the second clamping block 6 has a second notch 8. When the first clamping block 5 and the second clamping block 6 are closed, the two notches form a circular clamping hole for accommodating and clamping the busbar.

[0024] During operation, the rotary cylinder 2 first drives the first clamping cylinder 4 to rotate to a suitable angle. Then, the first clamping cylinder 4 drives the first clamping block 5 and the second clamping block 6 to open. After the busbar to be processed is placed between the two clamping blocks, the first clamping cylinder 4 drives the two clamping blocks to close, clamping the busbar. At this time, the busbar is confined within the circular clamping hole formed by the first notch 7 and the second notch 8. This circular clamping structure can firmly fix the busbar while allowing the busbar to rotate to a certain extent within the clamping hole, increasing horizontal flexibility.

[0025] When the vertical angle of the busbar needs to be adjusted, rotary cylinder 2 can drive the entire clamping structure to rotate around the Z-axis, thereby changing the spatial position of the busbar. This design allows the clamping mechanism to work with a bending machine to complete complex 3D bending operations, making it particularly suitable for processing long busbars. After the bending operation is completed, the first clamping cylinder 4 drives the two clamping blocks to open, releasing the processed busbar.

[0026] This clamping mechanism significantly improves clamping flexibility and precision by increasing the Z-axis rotational degree of freedom and adopting a circular clamping structure. It can adapt to busbars of different sizes and shapes and provides stable and reliable support during bending. This design not only improves the efficiency and quality of 3D busbar bending but also expands the application scope of robots in busbar machining, providing an effective solution to the challenges of machining long busbars.

[0027] Example 3:

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the base plate 1 of this utility model serves as the basic support platform for the entire clamping mechanism. It is made of metal and possesses sufficient strength and rigidity. The telescopic cylinder 9 and the flange structure 10 are both fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The telescopic cylinder 9 is a double-acting cylinder capable of providing reciprocating linear motion; the cylinder body is securely connected to the base plate 1 by bolts. The flange structure 10 is disc-shaped with a through hole in the center and is fixed to the base plate 1 by bolts. The clamping assembly 11 is connected to the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 9 and is driven by the telescopic cylinder 9 to perform telescopic movement. The clamping assembly 11 mainly consists of a connecting seat 12, a clamping cylinder, and a clamping head 14. One end of the connecting seat 12 is connected to the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 9, and the other end is fitted with the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping head 14 to open and close. The clamping head 14 is designed as a symmetrical two-claw structure, with its surface covered with rubber material to increase friction. The flange structure 10 cooperates with the optical axis 15, allowing the clamping assembly 11 to slide along the optical axis 15 during extension and retraction, ensuring smooth and precise movement. When the telescopic cylinder 9 retracts, the clamping assembly 11 moves closer to the substrate 1; when the telescopic cylinder 9 extends, the clamping assembly 11 moves away from the substrate 1.

[0029] During use, the clamping assembly 11 is first extended to the appropriate position by the telescopic cylinder 9. Then, the clamping cylinder drives the clamping heads 14 to open, placing the busbar between the clamping heads 14. Next, the clamping cylinder drives the clamping heads 14 to close, firmly clamping the busbar. At this time, the robotic arm can move the entire clamping mechanism to pull the busbar. When pulling is not needed, the telescopic cylinder 9 retracts the clamping assembly 11, reducing the space occupied by the entire clamping mechanism.

[0030] Example 4:

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the clamping mechanism of this utility model comprises a second clamping cylinder 13 and a clamping head 14. One end of the connecting seat 12 is connected to the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 9, and the other end is provided with a mounting surface for mounting the second clamping cylinder 13. An optical axis 15 is fixedly mounted on the connecting seat 12, and the optical axis 15 cooperates with the flange structure 10 to form a linear guide system. The second clamping cylinder 13 is mounted on the mounting surface of the connecting seat 12 and is used to drive the clamping head 14 to open and close. The clamping head 14 is directly mounted on the piston rod of the second clamping cylinder 13 and adopts a symmetrical double-claw design. The telescopic cylinder 9 is connected to the connecting seat 12 through the piston rod and drives the entire clamping assembly 11 to perform telescopic movement. When the telescopic cylinder 9 extends, the connecting seat 12 slides forward along the optical axis 15, causing the second clamping cylinder 13 and the clamping head 14 to move away from the substrate 1. When the telescopic cylinder 9 retracts, the connecting seat 12 slides backward along the optical axis 15, and the entire clamping assembly 11 returns to its initial position.

[0032] During operation, the clamping assembly 11 is first extended to the appropriate position by the telescopic cylinder 9. Then, the second clamping cylinder 13 drives the clamping head 14 to open, placing the busbar inside the clamping head 14. Next, the second clamping cylinder 13 drives the clamping head 14 to close, firmly clamping the busbar. At this time, the robotic arm can move the entire clamping mechanism to pull the busbar. After the pulling task is completed, the second clamping cylinder 13 drives the clamping head 14 to release the busbar, and the telescopic cylinder 9 retracts the clamping assembly 11, returning the entire clamping mechanism to its initial state.

[0033] This utility model consists of a telescopic cylinder 9 and a clamping mechanism arranged symmetrically, providing the robot arm with more clamping functions.

[0034] Example 5:

[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a housing 16 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1 of this utility model to protect the internal components of the clamping mechanism. This housing 16 completely surrounds the rotary cylinder 2, the first clamping cylinder 4, and related connecting structures mounted on the base plate 1, with operating holes and interfaces reserved only in necessary locations.
