[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a robot placement buffer mechanism, comprising: four rectangular springs 7 and four guide columns 4. The upper and lower ends of the four rectangular springs 7 are respectively provided with a product base plate 1 and a robot docking plate 2. One end of each guide column 4 is fixed to the side wall of the product base plate 1, and the other end of each guide column 4 is slidably connected to a linear bearing 5. One end of the guide column 4 can slide within the linear bearing 5, and the other end of the linear bearing 5 is fixed to the side wall of the robot docking plate 2. The guide columns 4 are positioned by the four linear bearings 5 ​​to ensure the accuracy of the product during handling.

[0022] The robot docking plate 2 has round holes 3 at all four ends. The upper ends of the four linear bearings 5 ​​pass through one of the round holes 3 respectively. The bottom ends of the linear bearings 5 ​​are fixed to the side wall of the robot docking plate 2 by bolts, thus fixing the linear bearings 5. The upper ends of the four linear bearings 5 ​​are fixedly installed with baffles 8. The outer end of each guide column 4 is fitted with a rectangular spring 7. The rectangular springs 7 are located between the product base plate 1 and the robot docking plate 2. During product placement, the four rectangular springs 7 will compress along the direction of the linear bearings 5 ​​to ensure that the product will not be damaged during placement. At the same time, the rectangular springs 7 can also apply a certain force to ensure that the product is placed in place.

[0023] Specifically, one end of the robot docking plate 2 is fixed to the robot handling wall, and the robot handling arm and this device are installed on one side of the production line. When a product needs to be handled, the product to be handled is placed on the top of the product base plate 1. The four rectangular springs 7 will compress along the direction of the linear bearing 5 to ensure that the product will not be damaged during placement. At the same time, the rectangular springs 7 can also apply a certain force to ensure that the product is placed in place without reducing the product placement speed.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, each baffle 8 is circular, and the diameter of the baffle 8 is larger than the diameter of the circular hole 3. A buffer pad 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of each baffle 8. The buffer pad 9 is made of rubber to prevent the robot docking plate 2 and the baffle 8 from colliding directly when the linear bearing 5 is loose. A locking screw 10 is threadedly connected to the upper end of each baffle 8. More specifically, one end of the locking screw 10 is inserted into the inner end of the linear bearing 5. The depth of the locking screw 10 is adjusted by screwing, thereby limiting the distance that the guide column 4 slides in the linear bearing 5.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, a wear-resistant pad 6 is fixedly installed at the end of each guide column 4 away from the linear bearing 5. The wear-resistant pad 6 is attached to the upper end of the product base plate 1. One end of the rectangular spring 7 is fixed to the outer side of the bottom end of the linear bearing 5, and the other end is fixed to the upper end of the wear-resistant pad 6. More specifically, the wear-resistant pad 6 prevents the rectangular spring 7 from directly contacting the product base plate 1 and causing wear to the product base plate 1.

[0026] When this device is working, the robot docking plate 2 and the robot arm are fixedly connected. The product to be transported is placed on the upper part of the product base plate 1. The product base plate 1 is subjected to pressure and will move the product downward. The four rectangular springs 7 will compress along the direction of the linear bearing 5 to ensure that the product will not be damaged during placement. At the same time, the rectangular springs 7 can also apply a certain force to ensure that the product is placed in place.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
