[0003] For scenarios requiring transfer in the X and Z axes, the aforementioned and existing technologies currently mostly employ two-module assembly robots. However, the two modules and related components increase equipment procurement costs, and subsequent maintenance also requires significant investment. Furthermore, the relatively complex structure leads to cumbersome operation and low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-efficiency production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of high mechanical costs and relatively complex structures in existing technologies by proposing a transfer and loading device for the automation industry.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transfer loading and unloading device for the automation industry, comprising a base frame, a mounting frame at the top of the base frame, two legs on one side of the mounting frame, a guide frame on the side of the mounting frame away from the legs, a guide groove on the surface of the guide frame, a first slide rail at the bottom of the guide frame, a limiting block at the top of each of the two legs, two pipe clamps vertically at the bottom of each of the two limiting blocks, a servo motor in the middle of the two legs, a rotating frame on the side of the guide frame away from the mounting frame, a movable groove on the surface of the rotating frame, two rollers on one side of the guide frame, a rotating rod in the middle of the rollers, two first sliders on the side of the first slide rail away from the mounting frame, a movable frame on the side of the first sliders away from the first slide rail, a second slide rail on the side of the movable frame away from the first sliders, a second slider on the side of the second slide rail away from the movable frame, and an electric gripper at the bottom of the second slider.

[0006] Preferably, the two legs are installed at both ends of the top surface of the base frame, and the two legs are in a parallel state, and the legs are bolted to the base frame.

[0007] Preferably, both limiting blocks are bolted to the mounting bracket, and the two limiting blocks are parallel to each other. The two limiting blocks are perpendicular to the two legs, and the two limiting blocks are perpendicular to the bottom pipe clamps. All four pipe clamps are bolted to the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is connected to the two legs via the pipe clamps.

[0008] Preferably, the servo motor is mounted on the mounting bracket and bolted to the mounting bracket, and the rotating bracket is keyed to the servo motor.

[0009] Preferably, the guide frame is mounted on the surface of the mounting frame and bolted to the mounting frame. The guide frame is n-shaped, and the guide groove on the surface of the guide frame is also n-shaped. The two rollers are respectively installed in the movable groove and the guide groove. The two rollers are connected to the second slider through a rotating rod. The rotating rod passes through the rollers and the second slider, and the rollers and the rotating rod are interference-fitted.

[0010] Preferably, both first sliders are mounted on the first slide rail, both ends of the movable frame are mounted on the surfaces of the two first sliders, and the movable frame is bolted to the two first sliders. The second slide rail is mounted at the middle position on the surface of the movable frame away from the first sliders, and the second slide rail is bolted to the movable frame.

[0011] Preferably, the second slider is mounted on the second slide rail, the electric gripper is mounted on the surface of the bottom end of the second slider, and the electric gripper is bolted to the second slider.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] In this invention, during use, the electric gripper first clamps the product. Once the product is securely clamped, the servo motor starts and drives the rotating frame to swing back and forth. As the rotating frame swings, it drives the rollers within its surface's movable groove to move synchronously. Since the two rollers are respectively installed in the movable groove and guide groove, and are connected by a rotating rod that passes through a second slider, when the moving frame moves the rollers within the surface's movable groove, the two rollers roll synchronously within the movable groove and guide groove via the rotating rod. This synchronous rolling of the rollers is linked to the movement of the second slider via the rotating rod. The second slider is mounted on a second slide rail on the surface of the moving frame. Simultaneously, the moving frame itself is mounted on a first slide rail via a first slider. Therefore, when the rotating frame swings left and right, the second slider moves up and down on the second slide rail. The moving frame mounted on the second slide rail then moves left and right on the first slide rail via the first slider. Ultimately, through this combined motion, the second slider drives the electric gripper at its bottom, holding the product and smoothly moving it along the direction of the guide groove, thereby accurately transferring the product from the starting position to the target position. The entire movement process is accomplished through simple mechanical transmission, which solves the problems of high mechanical cost and relatively complex structure. Attached Figure Description

Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0024] Reference Figure 1-5A transfer loading and unloading device for the automation industry includes a base frame 1, a mounting frame 3 on the top of the base frame 1, two legs 2 on one side of the mounting frame 3, a guide frame 4 on the side of the mounting frame 3 away from the legs 2, a guide groove 5 on the surface of the guide frame 4, a first slide rail 6 on the bottom of the guide frame 4, a limiting block 7 on the top of each of the two legs 2, two pipe clamps 8 vertically on the bottom of each of the two limiting blocks 7, a servo motor 9 in the middle of the two legs 2, a rotating frame 10 on the side of the guide frame 4 away from the mounting frame 3, a movable groove 11 on the surface of the rotating frame 10, and two rollers 12 on one side of the guide frame 4. A rotating rod 13 is provided in the middle of the base frame 12. Two first sliders 15 are provided on the side of the first slide rail 6 away from the mounting frame 3. A movable frame 14 is provided on the side of the first slider 15 away from the first slide rail 6. A second slide rail 17 is provided on the side of the movable frame 14 away from the first sliders 15. A second slider 16 is provided on the side of the second slide rail 17 away from the movable frame 14. An electric gripper 18 is provided at the bottom end of the second slider 16. Two legs 2 are installed at both ends of the top surface of the base frame 1, and the two legs 2 are parallel. Both legs 2 are bolted to the base frame 1. Both limiting blocks 7 are bolted to the mounting frame 3, and the two limiting blocks 7 are parallel. The two legs 2 are perpendicular to each other, and the two limit blocks 7 and the bottom pipe clamps 8 are also perpendicular to each other. All four pipe clamps 8 are bolted to the mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is connected to the two legs 2 through the pipe clamps 8. The servo motor 9 is mounted on the mounting frame 3 and bolted to the mounting frame 3. The rotating frame 10 is keyed to the servo motor 9. The guide frame 4 is mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 3 and bolted to the mounting frame 3. The guide frame 4 is n-shaped, and the guide groove 5 on the surface of the guide frame 4 is also n-shaped. Two rollers 12 are respectively installed in the movable groove 11 and the guide groove 5. The two rollers 12 are connected to the second slider 1 through the rotating rod 13. 6. A rotating rod 13 passes through the roller 12 and the second slider 16, and the roller 12 and the rotating rod 13 are interference-fitted. Both first sliders 15 are mounted on the first slide rail 6. Both ends of the moving frame 14 are mounted on the surfaces of the two first sliders 15, and the moving frame 14 is bolted to the two first sliders 15. The second slide rail 17 is mounted at the middle position on the surface of the moving frame 14 away from the first sliders 15, and the second slide rail 17 is bolted to the moving frame 14. The second slider 16 is mounted on the second slide rail 17. An electric gripper 18 is mounted on the surface of the bottom end of the second slider 16, and the electric gripper 18 is bolted to the second slider 16.

[0025] The base frame 1 serves as the fundamental support structure for the entire device. The legs 2 are installed parallel to each other at both ends of the base frame 1 and connected to it via bolts, jointly supporting the mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is the main load-bearing frame of the entire device, supporting and connecting the servo motor 9, guide frame 4, limiting blocks 7, and pipe clamps 8. The limiting blocks 7 are installed on top of the two legs 2 and connected to the mounting frame 3 via bolts. The two limiting blocks 7 are parallel and perpendicular to the legs 2. This prevents the mounting frame 3 from excessively descending due to the pipe clamps 8 not being properly tightened. The pipe clamps 8 are vertically installed at the bottom of the limiting blocks 7 and connected to the mounting frame 3 via bolts. The pipe clamps 8 also wrap around the legs 2; the tightness of the clamps on the legs 2 is achieved by tightening the bolts on the pipe clamps 8, thus connecting the mounting frame 3 to the legs 2. The guide frame 4 is N-shaped and installed on the surface of the mounting frame 3 via bolts. Its surface guide grooves 5 are also N-shaped, providing path guidance for the movement of the rollers 12 and ensuring the accuracy of the product transfer trajectory. The first slide rail 6 is installed at the bottom of the guide frame 4, providing a horizontal track for the first slider 15 and the moving frame 14. The servo motor 9 is bolted to the mounting frame 3, serving as the power source for the entire device, and its output shaft passes through the mounting frame 3. The rotating frame 10 is keyed to the output shaft of the servo motor 9; when the servo motor 9 operates, it drives the rotating frame 10 to oscillate left and right. The movable groove 11 on its surface is the area where the roller 12 moves when the rotating frame 10 oscillates, cooperating with the guide groove 5 to guide the movement of the roller 12. There are two rollers 12, installed in the movable groove 11 and the guide groove 5 respectively. They are connected by a rotating rod 13 and roll together, converting the oscillation of the rotating frame 10 into a combined motion of the moving frame 14 and the second slider 16. The roller 12 is interference-fitted with the rotating rod 13. The rotating rod 13 connects the two rollers 12 and the second slider 16, passing through both. It transmits motion to the second slider 16 when the rollers 12 roll synchronously. The movable frame 14 is mounted on the surfaces of two first sliders 15 at both ends and connected to the two first sliders 15 by bolts. It is used to support the second slide rail 17 and the second slider 16. The first sliders 15 are mounted on the first slide rail 6. This allows the movable frame 14 to move smoothly left and right on the first slide rail 6. The second slide rail 17 is mounted at the middle position on the surface of the movable frame 14 and connected by bolts. It provides a track for the second slider 16 to move up and down. The second slider 16 is mounted on the second slide rail 17 and connected to the rotating rod 13. An electric gripper 18 is mounted on the bottom surface of the second slider 16 and connected by bolts. It is used for clamping and placing products. Specific Implementation Example 2:

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5A transfer loading and unloading device for the automation industry, further based on the basic structure in Specific Embodiment 1, in use, the electric gripper 18 accurately grips the target product. After the product is securely clamped, the servo motor 9 starts and drives the rotating frame 10 connected to it to begin oscillating left and right. When the rotating frame 10 oscillates, the movable groove 11 on its surface drives one of the internal rollers 12 to move synchronously. At the same time, another roller 12 is installed in the N-shaped guide groove 5 on the surface of the guide frame 4. The two rollers 12 are connected by a rotating rod 13, which passes through the second slider 16. This allows the two rollers 12 to roll synchronously in the movable groove 11 and the guide groove 5 through the rotating rod 13 when the rotating frame 10 oscillates and drives the roller 12 in the movable groove 11. The synchronous rolling of the rollers 12 is linked to the movement of the second slider 16 through the rotating rod 13. The second slider 16 is mounted on the second slide rail 17 on the surface of the movable frame 14. Therefore, when the rotating rod 13 drives the second slider 16 to move, the second slider 16 will move up and down on the second slide rail 17. At the same time, the movable frame 14 itself can move left and right on the first slide rail 6 via the first slider 15 mounted on the first slide rail 6. Finally, by swinging the rotating frame 10 left and right, the second slider 16 is driven to move up and down on the second slide rail 17, while the movable frame 14 mounted on the second slide rail 17 moves left and right on the first slide rail 6 via the first slider 15. This combined motion enables the second slider 16 to drive the electric gripper 18 at the bottom, clamping the product and moving it smoothly along the N-shaped direction of the guide groove 5, thereby accurately transferring the product from one starting position to another target position. The entire motion process is controlled by an external control backend, which automatically controls the movement based on the detection data of the external sensors and a preset program. This control method is a mature technology in the field.

[0028] In summary:

[0029] 1. In operation, the electric gripper 18 first clamps the product. Once the product is securely clamped, the servo motor 9 starts and drives the rotating frame 10 to swing back and forth. As the rotating frame 10 swings, it drives the rollers 12 within its surface movable groove 11 to move synchronously. Since the two rollers 12 are respectively installed in the movable groove 11 and the guide groove 5, and are connected by a rotating rod 13 that passes through the second slider 16, when the moving frame 14 moves the rollers 12 within the surface movable groove 11, the two rollers 12 will roll synchronously in the movable groove 11 and the guide groove 5 via the rotating rod 13. The synchronous rolling of the rollers 12 will then move the second slider 16 in conjunction with the rotating rod 13. The second slider 16 is mounted on the second slide rail 17 on the surface of the moving frame 14. Simultaneously, the moving frame 14 itself is mounted on the first slide rail 6 via the first slider 15. Therefore, when the rotating frame 10 swings left and right, the second slider 16 will move up and down on the second slide rail 17. The movable frame 14, mounted on the second slide rail 17, moves left and right on the first slide rail 6 via the first slider 15. Ultimately, through this combined motion, the second slider 16 drives the electric gripper 18 at its bottom to smoothly move the product along the guide groove 5, thereby accurately transferring the product from the starting position to the target position. The entire movement process is completed through simple mechanical transmission, overcoming the disadvantages of high mechanical cost and relatively complex structure.
