Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer equipment technology, and more specifically, to a double-sided gripper device for a material tray. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as automated production lines, trays are widely used as carriers for tightly packed components.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that traditional tray handling methods often employ a single-sided gripper, which has certain limitations. When gripping a tray, a single-sided gripper applies force only from one side, easily leading to uneven force distribution on the tray. This is especially problematic for larger or heavier trays, potentially causing tilting, wobbling, or even displacement or damage to components within the tray during handling. Furthermore, a single-sided gripper can only handle one tray at a time, resulting in relatively low efficiency and failing to meet the growing demands of automated production. Therefore, in view of these limitations, the inventors have researched and improved upon existing structures to provide a double-sided tray gripper device, aiming to achieve greater practical value. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a double-sided gripper device for material trays. It can utilize an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder, as well as corresponding upper clamping seat, lower clamping seat, upper chuck and lower chuck to form a double-sided gripper mechanism, which can grip material trays more stably and efficiently. Compared with traditional single-sided grippers, it can handle more material trays in the same amount of time, effectively improving the operating efficiency of automated production lines, reducing production costs, and has broad application prospects. Furthermore, it greatly improves the stability of gripping, effectively avoiding shaking and tilting of the material tray during transportation, and ensuring the safety of the components in the material tray.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A double-sided gripper for a material tray includes a connecting plate. An upper cylinder and a lower cylinder are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting plate. An upper clamping seat and a lower clamping seat are respectively provided on the top and bottom of the connecting plate. The inner top wall of the upper clamping seat is fixedly connected to the output end of the upper cylinder, and the inner bottom wall of the lower clamping seat is fixedly connected to the output end of the lower cylinder. Upper clamping heads are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the upper clamping seat, and lower clamping heads are fixedly connected to the top of both ends of the lower clamping seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder are arranged in parallel, with the output end of the upper cylinder facing upwards and the output end of the lower cylinder facing downwards.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper clamp is provided with a slot, and the top edge of the lower clamp is provided with a rounded corner, and the slot on the upper clamp is adapted to the top of the corresponding lower clamp.

[0011] Furthermore, a force sensor is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate, and a mounting base is fixedly installed at the top of the force sensor.

[0012] Furthermore, the opening directions of the upper clamp and the lower clamp are arranged facing each other.

[0013] Furthermore, both the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder are located inside the openings of the upper and lower clamps.

[0014] Furthermore, both the upper and lower clamps are located on opposite sides of the connecting plate.

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) This solution, by setting up an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder, as well as corresponding upper clamping seat, lower clamping seat, upper chuck and lower chuck, can apply force from both the upper and lower sides of the material tray to clamp it, which greatly improves the stability of clamping. When the upper and lower cylinders work synchronously, the upper chuck and lower chuck can work closely together to firmly clamp the material tray, effectively avoiding the shaking and tilting of the material tray during the transportation process, and ensuring the safety of the components in the material tray.

[0018] (2) In this solution, by setting up a force sensor, the force sensor can monitor the magnitude of the clamping force in real time during the clamping process of the material tray. When the clamping force is too large and may damage the material tray or components, or when the clamping force is too small and may cause the material tray to fall off, the force sensor can provide timely feedback so that the operator can make adjustments, thereby further improving the safety and reliability of the device.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Example:

[0035] Please see Figures 1-4 A double-sided gripper device for a material tray includes a connecting plate 1. An upper cylinder 2 and a lower cylinder 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting plate 1. An upper clamping seat 4 and a lower clamping seat 5 are respectively provided on the top and bottom of the connecting plate 1. The inner top wall of the upper clamping seat 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the upper cylinder 2, and the inner bottom wall of the lower clamping seat 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lower cylinder 3. Upper clamping heads 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the upper clamping seat 4, and lower clamping heads 7 are fixedly connected to the top of both ends of the lower clamping seat 5.

[0036] See Figure 2 The upper cylinder 2 and the lower cylinder 3 are arranged in parallel, with the output end of the upper cylinder 2 facing upward and the output end of the lower cylinder 3 facing downward.

[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper chuck 6 has a slot at its bottom, and the lower chuck 7 has a rounded corner at its top edge. The slot on the upper chuck 6 matches the top of the corresponding lower chuck 7. In use, the slot at the bottom of the upper chuck 6 can hold the upper edge of the material tray, while the top of the lower chuck 7 can hold the lower edge of the material tray. The two work together to achieve quick clamping of the material tray.

[0038] See Figure 3 A force sensor 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate 1, and a mounting base 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the force sensor 8. During use, the force sensor 8 can monitor the magnitude of the clamping force in real time during the process of clamping the material tray.

[0039] See Figure 4 The openings of the upper clamp 4 and the lower clamp 5 are set facing each other.

[0040] See Figure 4 The upper cylinder 2 and the lower cylinder 3 are both located inside the openings of the upper clamp 4 and the lower clamp 5.

[0041] See Figure 2 The upper chuck 6 and the lower chuck 7 are both located on both sides of the connecting plate 1.

[0042] In operation: the upper cylinder 2 moves the upper clamp 6 on the upper clamping seat 4 downwards, while the lower cylinder 3 moves the lower clamp 7 on the lower clamping seat 5 upwards, allowing for simultaneous clamping from both the upper and lower sides of the tray, greatly improving clamping stability. When the upper cylinder 2 and lower cylinder 3 work synchronously, the upper clamp 6 and lower clamp 7 work closely together to firmly clamp the tray, effectively preventing shaking and tilting during transport and ensuring the safety of the components within. Simultaneously, the force sensor 8 monitors the clamping force in real time during tray clamping. If the clamping force is too large, potentially damaging the tray or components, or too small, causing the tray to fall off, the force sensor 8 provides timely feedback, allowing operators to adjust accordingly. This further enhances the safety and reliability of the device. Compared to traditional single-sided grippers, this structure can handle more trays in the same amount of time, effectively improving the operating efficiency of automated production lines, reducing production costs, and demonstrating broad application prospects.
