Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palletizing robot technology, and in particular to an intelligent palletizing industrial robot. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent palletizing robots are automated devices that integrate robotic arms, end effectors, control systems, and sensors. They achieve the picking, handling, and stacking of goods through preset programs and are widely used in industries such as building materials, food, and logistics.

[0003] Current intelligent palletizing robots have limitations in switching between plate-shaped and fork-shaped gripping. For small processing plants, sometimes bagged materials and boxed materials need to be palletized separately. In this case, multiple palletizing robots with different gripping states need to be set up, resulting in a lot of cost expenditure and waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses an intelligent palletizing industrial robot, which aims to solve the technical problem that small processing plants sometimes need to palletize bagged materials and boxed materials separately, which requires setting up multiple palletizing robots with different clamping states, resulting in a lot of cost expenditure and waste.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An intelligent palletizing industrial robot includes a mechanical base and a drive mechanism, wherein the drive mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the mechanical base, and further includes: two clamping mechanisms symmetrically fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism; a cleaning mechanism mounted on the clamping mechanisms; and a control panel fixedly mounted on the mechanical base.

[0007] The clamping mechanism includes: a linkage frame, fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism; a C-shaped bracket, fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the linkage frame; multiple forks, equidistantly movably connected to one side inner wall of the C-shaped bracket; a U-shaped sleeve, movably sleeved on the outside of the C-shaped bracket, and the outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve is fixedly connected with multiple anti-slip protrusions; and a gas spring, fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve.

[0008] The clamping mechanism further includes: two side sleeves, symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the U-shaped sleeve, and movably fitted to both sides of the C-shaped bracket; and a through slot, which is provided through one inner wall of the U-shaped sleeve.

[0009] The clamping mechanism further includes: a support plate, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve, and the output end of the air rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the support plate, and the air rod is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the C-shaped bracket.

[0010] Equipped with a clamping mechanism, the control panel allows selection of material packaging as bags or boxes. Multiple forks enable fork-like clamping, providing multi-point pressure distribution, making it more suitable for clamping bagged materials. The movement of the U-shaped sleeve can cover the outside of the multiple forks, transforming the fork-like structure into a plate-like clamping structure, which is more suitable for rigid packaging such as wooden boxes. This achieves applicability to various packaging types and optimizes the versatility of the palletizing robot.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning mechanism includes: a mounting groove disposed on one inner wall of the U-shaped frame; an insert plate movably inserted into the mounting groove; the cleaning mechanism further includes: a flexible collar fixedly fitted around the outer periphery of the insert plate; and multiple bristles fixedly connected to one outer wall of the insert plate.

[0012] The cleaning mechanism is installed on one side of the U-shaped frame. When the U-shaped frame moves horizontally, the brush bristles can move and fit against the outer wall of the fork for cleaning, thus achieving a synchronous cleaning effect. In addition, the soft ring design also reduces the difficulty of installing the insert plate, which can be directly inserted, making it convenient for later maintenance.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes: multiple limiting rods fixedly connected to the bottom outer walls of multiple forks, with the limiting rods movably inserted through the inner wall of the C-shaped bracket, and one end of some limiting rods passing through a slot; multiple springs fixedly connected to the bottom outer walls of multiple forks, with the other end of the springs fixedly connected to the inner wall of the C-shaped bracket; each fork has a beveled surface on its top outer wall, and the bottom inner wall of the U-shaped sleeve movably fits against the beveled surface.

[0014] By incorporating springs that provide elastic connection to each fork, the slight deformation of the springs can absorb the impact force generated by the irregular deformation of the bag, thus preventing the bag from breaking due to rigid clamping and protecting the integrity of the bag.

[0015] As described above, an intelligent palletizing industrial robot includes a mechanical base and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the mechanical base and further includes: two clamping mechanisms symmetrically fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism; a cleaning mechanism mounted on the clamping mechanisms; and a control panel fixedly mounted on the mechanical base. Each clamping mechanism includes: a linkage frame fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism; a C-shaped bracket fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the linkage frame; multiple forks equidistantly movably connected to one side inner wall of the C-shaped bracket; a U-shaped sleeve movably fitted onto the outside of the C-shaped bracket, with multiple anti-slip protrusions fixedly connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve; and a pneumatic rod fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve. The intelligent palletizing industrial robot provided by this utility model has the technical effect of achieving applicability to various packaging applications and optimizing the multi-functionality of the palletizing robot.

[0022] 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.

[0023] The intelligent palletizing industrial robot disclosed in this utility model is mainly applied to scenarios where intelligent palletizing robots are used.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 A smart palletizing industrial robot includes a mechanical base 1 and a drive mechanism 2, the drive mechanism 2 being fixedly connected to one end of the mechanical base 1. It also includes: two clamping mechanisms 3, symmetrically fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 2; a cleaning mechanism 4, mounted on the clamping mechanisms 3; and a control panel 5, fixedly mounted on the mechanical base 1.

[0025] The clamping mechanism 3 includes: a linkage frame 301, fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 2; a C-shaped bracket 304, fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the linkage frame 301; multiple forks 305, equidistantly movably connected to one side inner wall of the C-shaped bracket 304; a U-shaped sleeve 303, movably sleeved on the outside of the C-shaped bracket 304, and multiple anti-slip protrusions 302 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve 303; and a pneumatic rod 306, fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve 303. The material packaging can be selected as bagged or boxed via the control panel 5. The C-shaped bracket 304 serves as the bottom support. The multiple forks 305, which are connected to the C-shaped bracket 304 and extend out of the C-shaped bracket 304, can achieve fork-like clamping, providing multi-point pressure distribution, and are more suitable for clamping bagged materials. The U-shaped sleeve 303 is sleeved on the outside of the C-shaped bracket 304. As the air rod 306 extends, it can push the U-shaped sleeve 303 to move against the outside of the C-shaped bracket 304 to cover the outside of the multiple forks 305, changing the fork-like structure to a plate-like clamping structure, thereby avoiding local stress concentration and making it more suitable for rigid packaging such as wooden boxes. This achieves applicability to various packaging and optimizes the multi-functionality of the palletizing robot.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 further includes: two side sleeves 307, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the U-shaped sleeve 303 and movably fitted to both sides of the C-shaped bracket 304; and a through groove 312, which is provided through one inner wall of the U-shaped sleeve 303.

[0027] The clamping mechanism 3 also includes: a support plate 308, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the U-shaped sleeve 303, and the output end of the air rod 306 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the support plate 308. The air rod 306 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the C-shaped bracket 304.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 further includes: a plurality of limiting rods 311 fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of a plurality of forks 305, and the limiting rods 311 movably inserted through the inner wall of the C-shaped bracket 304, with one end of some of the limiting rods 311 passing through the through slot 312; a plurality of springs 309 fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of a plurality of forks 305, and the other end of the springs 309 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the C-shaped bracket 304.

[0029] Reference Figure 4In a preferred embodiment, each fork 305 has a bevel 310 on its top outer wall, and the bottom inner wall of the U-shaped bracket 303 is movably fitted onto the bevel 310. A spring 309 provides an elastic connection to each fork 305. Based on the bevel 310, when using the fork 305, the U-shaped bracket 303 fits snugly against the outside of the bevel 310, and the outer surface of the fork 305 protrudes from the outer surface of the C-shaped bracket 304. When clamping bagged materials, the spring 309... The slight deformation can absorb the impact force generated by the irregular deformation of the bag body, which can avoid the bag body breakage caused by rigid clamping and protect the integrity of the bag body. The function of the limiting rod 311 is to stabilize the position of the fork 305 and prevent it from moving down and causing the bag material to slide down during the clamping process. When the U-shaped sleeve 303 moves and the inclined surface 310 contacts the outside of the fork 305, the spring 309 is compressed, so that the fork 305 is stored in the C-shaped bracket 304, which can reduce the thickness of the plate clamping.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 4 includes: a mounting groove 401 disposed on one inner wall of the U-shaped sleeve 303; and an insert plate 402 movably inserted into the mounting groove 401.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 4 further includes: a flexible collar 404, fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the insert plate 402; and multiple bristles 403, fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the insert plate 402. The cleaning mechanism 4 is installed on one side of the U-shaped frame 303. When the U-shaped frame 303 moves along the outer wall of the multiple forks 305, the bristles 403 can move and fit against the outer wall of the forks 305 to clean, effectively cleaning away any material that may leak from the bagged material adhering to the surface of the forks 305. The bristles 403 located between the forks 305 can fit against the inner wall of the forks 305 to clean the material adhering to their sides, thus achieving a cleaning effect simultaneously. In addition, the flexible collar 404 provides interference clamping for the insert plate 402, preventing the insert plate 402 from falling off, and also reduces the installation difficulty of the insert plate 402, allowing it to be directly inserted, which is convenient for later maintenance.

[0032] Working principle: The control panel 5 allows selection of material packaging as bags or boxes. The C-shaped support 304 serves as the bottom support. Multiple forks 305, connected to and extending from the C-shaped support 304, enable fork-like clamping, providing multi-point pressure distribution, which is more suitable for clamping bagged materials. The U-shaped sleeve 303 is fitted onto the outside of the C-shaped support 304. As the air spring 306 extends, the U-shaped sleeve 303 can be pushed to move against the outside of the C-shaped support 304 to cover the outside of the multiple forks 305, transforming the fork-like structure into a plate-like clamping structure. This avoids local stress concentration and is more suitable for rigid packaging such as wooden boxes, thus achieving applicability to various packaging types and optimizing the multi-functionality of the palletizing robot.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
