Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic box gripping technology, and in particular to a plastic box gripping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of automotive side curtain airbags, the turnover box serves as a key process carrier, and its automated grasping and handling efficiency directly affects the production line's cycle time and assembly quality. With increasingly stringent automotive safety standards, traditional manual handling methods are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of modern intelligent manufacturing, and the accuracy of its grasping and positioning directly impacts the assembly quality of the side curtain airbags. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a glue box gripping mechanism that can solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0004] A glue box gripping mechanism includes: a profile arranged laterally, a support frame fixedly mounted on the profile, fixed seats on the left and right sides of the profile, a lateral moving part on the front side of the support frame, a pressing part on the front and rear sides of the profile, and a gripping part on each of the fixed seats.

[0005] Furthermore, the lateral moving part includes a guide rail that is laterally fixed to the front side of the support frame, a slider that is movably inserted into the guide rail, extension plates that are symmetrically extended and fixed above the guide rail, and rodless cylinders that are connected and fixed between the front sides of each extension plate. The moving end of the rodless cylinder is installed and fixed above the slider.

[0006] Furthermore, the pressing part includes upright plates fixed on the front and rear sides of the profile, a double-rod cylinder fixed on each upright plate, and a pressing plate fixed at the output end of each double-rod cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the gripping part includes guide seats symmetrically fixed on each fixed seat, guide posts movably inserted into each guide seat, gripping frames connected and fixed between the ends of every two adjacent guide posts, gripping hooks provided at the lower end of each gripping frame, and single-rod cylinders fixed on each fixed seat, with each single-rod cylinder connected and fixed to the adjacent gripping frame.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting seat is fixedly provided in the middle of the profile.

[0009] Preferably, a pressure regulating valve is provided on the profile.

[0010] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are:

[0011] This utility model provides a glue box gripping mechanism. In use, the gripping part clamps the glue box, while the slider is fixedly installed on the air curtain production line. At this time, the lateral moving part drives the entire profile to move laterally, so that the glue box held between the gripping parts is moved to the position where the air curtain needs to be loaded. During the gripping process, the pressing part can push the glue box down, so that the glue box is stably placed between the gripping parts to prevent loosening. Then the gripping part is released and reset by the lateral moving part, waiting for the next operation. Compared with the existing technology, it eliminates the traditional manual handling method, thereby improving production efficiency. Secondly, the gripping positioning accuracy is high, avoiding errors when the air curtain is placed in the glue box. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 The shown is a glue box gripping mechanism, characterized in that it includes: a profile 1 arranged horizontally, a support frame 2 installed and fixed on the profile 1, fixed seats 3 provided on the left and right sides of the profile 1, a horizontal moving part 4 provided on the front side of the support frame 2, a pressing part 5 provided on the front and rear sides of the profile 1, and a gripping part 6 provided on each of the fixed seats 3.

[0018] In the above-described glue box gripping mechanism, the gripping part 6 clamps the glue box during use, while the slider 42 is fixedly installed on the air curtain production line. At this time, the lateral moving part 4 drives the entire profile to move laterally, so that the glue box clamped between the gripping parts 6 is moved to the position where the air curtain needs to be loaded. During the gripping process, the pressing part 5 can push the glue box downward, so that the glue box is stably placed between the gripping parts 6 to prevent loosening. Then the gripping part 6 is released and reset by the lateral moving part 6, waiting for the next operation. Compared with the existing technology, it eliminates the traditional manual handling method, thereby improving production efficiency. Secondly, the gripping positioning accuracy is high, avoiding errors when the air curtain is placed in the glue box.

[0019] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the lateral moving part 4 includes a guide rail 41 laterally fixed to the front side of the support frame 2, a slider 42 movably inserted into the guide rail 41, and extension plates 43 symmetrically extended and fixed above the guide rail 41. A rodless cylinder 44 is connected and fixed between the front sides of each extension plate 43. The moving end of the rodless cylinder 44 is installed and fixed above the slider 42. Since the slider 42 is installed and fixed on the air curtain production line, the rodless cylinder 44 will move laterally along the slider 42 when driven by the rodless cylinder 44, thereby causing the guide rail 41 to move along the slider 42. At this time, the support frame 2 drives the profile 1 to move laterally.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the pressing part 5 includes upright plates 51 fixed on the front and rear sides of the profile 1, a double-rod cylinder 52 fixed on each upright plate 51, and a pressing plate 53 fixed at the output end of each double-rod cylinder 52. The pressing plate 53 is driven to move downward by each double-rod cylinder 52 on the upright plate 51, so that the glue box is restricted between each gripping part 6.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the gripping part 6 includes guide seats 61 symmetrically fixed on each fixed seat 3, guide posts 62 are movably inserted into each guide seat 61, gripping frames 63 are connected and fixed between the ends of every two adjacent guide posts 62, gripping hooks 64 are provided at the lower end of each gripping frame 63, and single-rod cylinders 65 are fixed on each fixed seat 3. Each single-rod cylinder 65 is connected and fixed to the adjacent gripping frame 63. The single-rod cylinder 65 drives the gripping frame 63 to move laterally, so that the gripping frame 63 moves along the guide seat 61 through the one-way post 62 on it. At this time, the gripping frame 63 clamps the glue box and latches the glue box through the gripping hooks 64. At the same time, when the pressing part 5 pushes down, the glue box presses against the gripping hooks 64.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a connecting seat 11 is fixedly provided in the middle of the profile 1. In addition to moving the gripping mechanism through the lateral moving part, the user can also move the connecting seat 11 on the robotic arm.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a pressure regulating valve 12 is provided on the profile 1. The rodless cylinder 44, the double-rod cylinder 52 and the single-rod cylinder 65 can all be connected to the pressure regulating valve 12, so that the air pressure of each rising cylinder can be regulated.

[0024] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
