Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying and clamping technology, and in particular to a material conveying and clamping device. Background Technology
[0002] Material handling grippers are intelligent equipment widely used in industrial automation, primarily for standardizing material handling processes such as automatic gripping, precise transfer, and accurate positioning on production lines. As a core execution unit in modern intelligent manufacturing systems, this equipment typically consists of three main parts: a high-precision mechanical transmission mechanism, an intelligent gripping end effector, and a programmable control system. It achieves flexible material handling through servo drives or pneumatic control. Its core function is to replace manual labor in repetitive material transfer operations, improving production efficiency while ensuring operational accuracy and consistency. However, existing material handling grippers still suffer from problems such as the inability to quickly grip and release materials, the inability to quickly adjust the orientation of materials, and slow conveying efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, it is essential to invent a material conveying clamp. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a material conveying clamp to solve the issues of existing material conveying clamps, such as the inability to quickly clamp and release materials, the inability to quickly adjust the orientation of materials, and slow conveying efficiency. A material conveying clamp includes a feeding frame, an operating push rod, a rotary motor, a support frame, a clamping structure, an inlet conveyor belt, an outlet conveyor belt, and materials. The operating push rod is fixedly installed at both ends of the feeding frame, and the output end of the rotary motor is connected and fixedly fixed to the operating push rod. The support frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotary motor. The clamping structure is fixedly installed on the front and rear ends of the feeding frame, with the inlet conveyor belt located outside one end of the feeding frame and the outlet conveyor belt located outside the other end of the feeding frame. The materials are clamped inside the clamping structure.
[0005] The feeding frame includes a clamping mounting base, a force-applying base, an adjusting support arm, and a push rod mounting base. The clamping mounting base is a pair, located at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions respectively. The force-applying base is a pair, located at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions respectively. The adjusting support arm is rotatably mounted at both ends of each set of clamping mounting bases and force-applying bases. The push rod mounting base is fixedly mounted on the outside of the two sets of adjusting support arms and connected and fixed to the operating push rod.
[0006] The clamping structure includes a mounting base, a flipping motor, a clamping drive structure, a force-applying jaw, and a gripping sleeve. The mounting base is fixedly mounted on the outside of the force-applying base, and the flipping motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting base. The clamping drive structure is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the flipping motor, and the force-applying jaw is slidably mounted on one end of the clamping drive structure. The gripping sleeve is fixedly mounted on one end of the force-applying jaw.
[0007] The feeding frame is a movable quadrilateral frame structure made of steel. When the force-applying bases move closer together, the adjusting support arms move further apart; conversely, when the force-applying bases move further apart, the adjusting support arms move closer together. This movement of the force-applying bases is achieved by pushing and pulling the supporting arms with an operating push rod. When the force-applying bases move further apart, the clamping structure can extend onto the inlet conveyor belt to clamp the material. When the force-applying bases move closer together, the feeding frame is overturned by a rotary motor, causing the material to move closer to the outlet conveyor belt. At this point, the force-applying bases move further apart again, placing the material clamped by the clamping structure on the surface of the outlet conveyor belt. When the force-applying bases move closer together, the rotation diameter decreases.
[0008] The clamping structure can hold the material and place the material on the surface of the inlet conveyor belt onto the surface of the outlet conveyor belt by flipping the feeding frame. At this time, the material being moved over is flipped. The force-applying gripper and the gripping sleeve can rotate 180 degrees by the flipping motor, at which time the flipped material can be straightened again. The gripping sleeve is a pair of silicone sleeves, and the gripping sleeve can be replaced according to the shape of the material. The clamping structure is a pair, and the clamping structure can simultaneously perform the work of gripping and releasing the material each time the feeding frame rotates.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] 1. The feeding frame of this utility model features a retractable quadrilateral frame structure that dynamically adjusts its radius under the drive of an operating push rod. When the force-applying base moves away, the frame expands, allowing the clamping structure to reach the inlet conveyor belt and grab the material. When the force-applying base moves closer, the frame retracts, and in conjunction with the rotating motor's flipping action, precisely transfers the material to the outlet conveyor belt. Its steel frame ensures structural rigidity while optimizing space utilization through a variable diameter design, and works in conjunction with the clamping structure to complete an automated cycle of grabbing, flipping, and finally releasing.
[0011] 2. The clamping structure of this utility model is fixed to the feeding frame via a mounting base. A flipping motor drives the clamping drive structure, which in turn moves the force-applying grippers. This, combined with a replaceable gripping sleeve, enables flexible material gripping. It employs a dual-station design, simultaneously gripping material from the inlet conveyor belt and releasing material from the outlet conveyor belt during the feeding frame's flipping process. A 180° rotation function allows for secondary correction of the material's posture. This structure maintains a constant clamping force during dynamic conveying, ensuring the stability and accuracy of material transfer. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0018] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown.
[0019] This utility model provides a material conveying clamp, including a feeding frame 1, an operating push rod 2, a rotary motor 3, a support frame 4, a clamping structure 5, an inlet conveyor belt 6, an outlet conveyor belt 7, and material 8. The operating push rod 2 is fixedly installed at both ends of the feeding frame 1, and the output end of the rotary motor 3 is connected and fixed to the operating push rod 2. The support frame 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotary motor 3. The clamping structure 5 is fixedly installed on the front and rear ends of the feeding frame 1, with the inlet conveyor belt 6 located on the outside of one end of the feeding frame 1 and the outlet conveyor belt 7 located on the outside of the other end of the feeding frame 1. The material 8 is clamped inside the clamping structure 5.
[0020] The feeding frame 1 includes a clamping mounting base 11, a force-applying base 12, an adjusting support arm 13, and a push rod mounting base 14. The clamping mounting base 11 is a pair, located at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions respectively. The force-applying base 12 is a pair, located at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions respectively. The adjusting support arm 13 is rotatably mounted at both ends of each set of clamping mounting base 11 and force-applying base 12. The push rod mounting base 14 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the two sets of adjusting support arms 13 and connected and fixed to the operating push rod 2.
[0021] The clamping structure 5 includes a mounting base 51, a flipping motor 52, a clamping drive structure 53, a force-applying claw 54, and a gripping sleeve 55. The mounting base 51 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the force-applying base 12, and the flipping motor 52 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting base 51. The clamping drive structure 53 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the flipping motor 52, and the force-applying claw 54 is slidably mounted on one end of the clamping drive structure 53. The gripping sleeve 55 is fixedly mounted on one end of the force-applying claw 54.
[0022] The feeding frame 1 is a quadrilateral movable frame structure, and the entire feeding frame 1 is made of steel metal structure; when the force-applying bases 12 move closer to each other, the adjusting support arms 13 move further apart, and vice versa. The moving away or closer movement of the force-applying bases 12 is accomplished by pushing and pulling the entire supporting arm 13 with the operating push rod 2; when the force-applying bases 12 move away, the clamping structure 5 can extend to the inlet conveyor belt 6 to clamp the material 8; when the force-applying bases 12 move closer, the entire feeding frame 1 is overturned by the drive of the rotary motor 3, so that the material 8 moves to the side closer to the outlet conveyor belt 7. At this time, the force-applying bases 12 move away again, so that the material 8 clamped by the clamping structure 5 is placed on the surface of the outlet conveyor belt 7; when the force-applying bases 12 move closer, the rotation diameter will become smaller.
[0023] The clamping structure 5 can hold the material and, through the flipping of the feeding frame 1, place the material 8 on the surface of the inlet conveyor belt 6 onto the surface of the outlet conveyor belt 7. At this time, the material 8 that is moved over is flipped. The force-applying gripper 54 and the gripping sleeve 55 can rotate 180 degrees through the flipping motor 52. At this time, the flipped material 8 can be turned back to its original position. The gripping sleeve 55 is a pair of silicone sleeves, and the gripping sleeve 55 can be replaced according to the shape of the material 8. The clamping structure 5 is a pair, and the clamping structure 5 can simultaneously perform the gripping and releasing of the material 8 each time the feeding frame 1 rotates.
[0024] This material conveying gripper utilizes the variable-diameter telescopic structure of the feeding frame 1 and is driven by a rotary motor 3. Combined with the dual-station synchronous operation of the gripping structure 5, it achieves automated material conveying: when the operating push rod 2 pushes the adjusting support arm 13 to unfold the frame, the gripping structure 5 grabs the material 8 from the inlet conveyor belt 6; after the frame retracts, the rotary motor 3 drives the entire structure to rotate 180°, transferring the material to the outlet conveyor belt 7. Simultaneously, the rotation motor 52 allows for secondary posture adjustment; after releasing the material, the frame resets, forming a continuous operating cycle. This equipment achieves efficient and precise material gripping, rotating, and conveying functions through mechanical linkage, making it particularly suitable for automated production lines requiring posture adjustment.
[0025] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
