Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically to a T-shaped robotic arm for a two-color machine. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, robotic arms are a common material handling mechanism widely used in various parts processing stages. Typical mechanical material handling mechanisms use clamping, suction, or magnetic methods to pick up parts. However, their picking ends are generally limited. Clamping mechanisms typically use a single clamping point, while suction mechanisms, although capable of using multiple suction cups, still operate on a single part. Furthermore, as production lines handle parts of varying sizes, different parts require different material handling components; some require clamping, while others require suction, making matching difficult. This necessitates frequent changes to the robotic arm's grippers or the use of multiple robotic arms in coordination, significantly impacting production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, to address the above problems, we propose a T-type robotic arm solution for dual-color machines. Utility Model Content

The bottom side of the robotic arm support is slidably locked onto the support rails. A rack is longitudinally provided on the top of the robotic arm support. A support motor is installed on one side of each robotic arm support. The support motor is installed upside down and the motor shaft is fixedly mounted with a gear that meshes with the rack.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: Example 1

[0022] A T-shaped robotic arm for a two-color printing press includes a T-shaped beam frame 1. A set of robotic arms is provided on both the left and right sides of the beam frame 1. Each set of robotic arms slides laterally along the beam frame 1 via a transverse movement mechanism. Each robotic arm includes a robotic arm support 2. Two sets of robotic arm frames 3 are provided on the robotic arm support 2. Each set of robotic arm frames 3 slides along the robotic arm support 2 via a longitudinal movement mechanism. Each robotic arm frame 3 has a clamp 4 of different specifications installed at its bottom. Each robotic arm frame 3 has a lifting mechanism for driving the clamp 4.

[0023] During operation, the two sets of robotic arms on the beam frame 1 can clamp parts at different workstations from both sides. Moreover, the relative position of each robotic arm can be adjusted by a transverse movement mechanism. Each robotic arm contains two sets of robotic arm frames 3, and the position of each robotic arm frame 3 can be adjusted back and forth on the robotic arm support 2. Various sizes of clamps 4 are suspended at the bottom of each robotic arm frame 3 by a lifting mechanism, thus realizing different clamping functions for different parts. At the same time, two robotic arm frames 3 on the same side can cooperate to clamp, and multiple robotic arm frames 3 on different sides of the beam frame 1 can also cooperate to perform actions. Therefore, the combined robotic arm structure set by this utility model can realize the material picking function of different parts at different points, as well as the cooperative material picking action of two points or multiple points. The cooperation method is flexible and versatile, which greatly improves the application range and adaptability of the robotic arm.

[0024] The transverse movement mechanism includes multiple beam guide rails 10 arranged transversely on the top of the beam frame 1. Each beam guide rail 10 has a rack on its side wall. The bottom of the robot arm support 2 is slidably locked onto the beam guide rail 10. A beam drive motor 11 is installed at the rear end of the robot arm support 2. A gear is installed on the motor shaft of the beam drive motor 11. The gear meshes with the rack on the beam drive motor 11.

[0025] During operation, the beam drive motor 11 drives the gear to rotate, and the gear meshes with the rack to push the robot arm support 2 to slide on the beam frame guide rail 10, thereby completing the overall lateral displacement of the robot arm support 2.

[0026] The longitudinal movement mechanism includes multiple support rails 20 set on the top and side walls of the robotic arm support 2. The bottom side of the robotic arm frame 3 is slidably locked on the support rails 20. A rack is longitudinally set on the top of the robotic arm support 2. A support motor 21 is installed on one side of each robotic arm frame 3. The support motor 21 is installed upside down and the motor shaft is fixedly installed with a gear that meshes with the rack.

[0027] When it is necessary to adjust the front and rear position of the robotic arm 3 during operation, the drive support motor 21 rotates. The support motor 21 meshes with the rack and pinion through the drive gear, thereby pushing the robotic arm 3 to slide longitudinally along the support guide rail 20 on the robotic arm support 2. Example 2

[0028] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0029] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting toothed belt 32 built into the robotic arm 3. A scaffold motor 30 is provided on one side of the robotic arm 3. The motor shaft of the scaffold motor 30 is fixed with a toothed belt 31. The toothed belt 31 is connected to the corresponding lifting toothed belt 32. A connecting block 33 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lifting toothed belt 32. The connecting block 33 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod that slides vertically in the robotic arm 3. The bottom of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the clamp 4.

[0030] The bottom of the connecting rod is equipped with a rotary cylinder;

[0031] During operation, the rotary cylinder can be adjusted to enhance the transfer function of the clamp 4.
