Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gripper device technology, and in particular to an antenna radome gripper device. Background Technology
[0002] The radome gripper is a device component used to grip and move radomes. It is commonly used in radome production, processing and assembly, and is often used in conjunction with robots or automated equipment.
[0003] In the existing technology, in most cases, automated equipment is used to handle the clamping or transporting of radomes. However, when using automated equipment to clamp and transport radomes, the grippers of the automated equipment may cause small dents on the surface of the radome, thereby damaging the quality of the radome. Therefore, we urgently need a new type of radome gripper device. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution:
[0005] An antenna radome gripper device includes a gripper reference plate, a plurality of suction nozzle brackets are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the gripper reference plate, and a suction mechanism is provided at the lower end of the suction nozzle brackets. An antenna radome is provided directly below the gripper reference plate, a plurality of inserts are provided on the upper surface of the antenna radome, and a gripping mechanism is provided between the gripper reference plate and the antenna radome.
[0006] The gripping mechanism includes several cylinders fixedly installed on the lower surface of the gripper reference plate. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of each cylinder. A T-shaped groove is opened in the middle of the lower surface of the fixing plate. Two symmetrically distributed grippers are movably arranged at the lower end of the fixing plate. A T-shaped guide block is fixedly installed at the upper end of each gripper. The T-shaped guide block is slidably installed inside the T-shaped groove. The cylinder is used to drive the two grippers to move.
[0007] A robot flange is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper surface of the gripper reference plate.
[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, two of the suction nozzle supports are distributed at diagonal positions on the lower surface of the gripper reference plate, and the other two suction nozzle supports are distributed on both sides of the middle of the lower surface of the gripper reference plate.

[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the adsorption mechanism includes a sleeve fixedly disposed at the lower end of the nozzle support. The nozzle support is L-shaped. The sleeve is fixedly connected to the nozzle support through several fixed sleeves. A threaded rod is screwed into the inside of the sleeve, and the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with a thread that matches the threaded rod.
[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a fixing nut is screwed onto the outer side of the upper end of the threaded rod, and the fixing nut is located at the top of the sleeve, while a suction nozzle is fixedly installed at the bottom of the threaded rod.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] By fixing several suction nozzle brackets to the bottom of the gripper reference plate, and setting an adsorption mechanism at the bottom of the suction nozzle brackets, the radome located directly below the gripper reference plate can be adsorbed under the action of the adsorption mechanism. The adsorption mechanism can adsorb multiple positions on the upper surface of the radome, thereby increasing the convenience and stability of adsorbing the radome. At the same time, under the action of the gripping mechanism, driven by the cylinder, the gripper can grasp the separated insert, thereby increasing the convenience of grasping the insert.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] An antenna radome gripper device includes a gripper reference plate 10, a plurality of suction nozzle brackets 11 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the gripper reference plate 10, and a suction mechanism is provided at the lower end of the suction nozzle brackets 11. An antenna radome 30 is provided directly below the gripper reference plate 10, a plurality of inserts 31 are provided on the upper surface of the antenna radome 30, and a gripping mechanism is provided between the gripper reference plate 10 and the antenna radome 30.
[0024] The gripping mechanism includes several cylinders 40 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the gripper reference plate 10. Each cylinder 40 has a fixed plate 61 fixedly installed on its lower surface. A T-shaped groove 611 is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the fixed plate 61. Two symmetrically distributed grippers 60 are movably arranged at the lower end of the fixed plate 61. A T-shaped guide block 62 is fixedly installed at the upper end of each gripper 60. The T-shaped guide block 62 is slidably installed inside the T-shaped groove 611. The cylinders 40 are used to drive the two grippers 60 to move.
[0025] A robot flange 20 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper surface of the gripper reference plate 10.
[0026] In this embodiment, several suction nozzle brackets 11 are fixed at the bottom of the gripper reference plate 10, and an adsorption mechanism is provided at the bottom of the suction nozzle brackets 11. Under the action of the adsorption mechanism, the antenna cover 30 located directly below the gripper reference plate 10 can be adsorbed. The adsorption mechanism can adsorb multiple positions on the upper surface of the antenna cover 30, thereby increasing the convenience and stability of adsorbing the antenna cover 30. At the same time, under the action of the gripping mechanism, driven by the cylinder 40, the gripper 60 can grip the separated insert 31, thereby increasing the convenience of gripping the insert 31.
[0027] Specifically, two suction nozzle supports 11 are located at diagonal positions on the lower surface of the gripper reference plate 10, and two other suction nozzle supports 11 are located on both sides of the middle of the lower surface of the gripper reference plate 10.
[0028] Specifically, cylinders 40 are distributed among several nozzle supports 11, and there are four cylinders 40, which are distributed symmetrically along an axis.
[0029] Specifically, the adsorption mechanism includes a sleeve 53 fixedly installed at the lower end of the nozzle support 11. The nozzle support 11 is L-shaped. The sleeve 53 is fixedly connected to the nozzle support 11 through several fixing sleeves 51. A threaded rod 54 is screwed into the inside of the sleeve 53. The inner wall of the sleeve 53 is provided with threads that are compatible with the threaded rod 54. A fixing nut 52 is screwed into the outer side of the upper end of the threaded rod 54, and the fixing nut 52 is located at the top of the sleeve 53. A nozzle 50 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the threaded rod 54.
[0030] In this embodiment, under the action of the adsorption mechanism, when it is necessary to adsorb the antenna cover 30, the robot first moves the device above the antenna cover 30 and moves downward along the Z-axis. When the suction nozzle 50 contacts the upper surface of the antenna cover 30, the suction nozzle 50 enters the suction device, thereby adsorbing the antenna cover 30. The threaded rod 54, sleeve 53, fixing sleeve 51, and fixing nut 52 provided in the adsorption mechanism can adjust the position of the threaded rod 54 by tightening or loosening the fixing nut 52, thereby adjusting the position of the suction nozzle 50, increasing the practicality of the overall device.
[0031] The working principle and workflow of this utility model are as follows: This utility model mainly consists of two operations. The first operation is the material suction. After the external separating machine separates the radome 30 and the insert 31, the robot connects to the overall device via the robot flange 20. The robot drives the overall device to rotate along the Z-axis, thus positioning it in a position that matches the radome 30. Then, the robot drives the overall mechanism to move downwards along the Z-axis. When the suction nozzle 50 adheres to and firmly adheres to the upper surface of the radome 30, the radome 30 is moved. When the radome 30 is moved onto the external conveyor belt, the suction nozzle 50 performs a feeding action, placing the radome 30 in the appropriate position. The external robot can perform planar motion along the X, Y, and Z axes, and can also rotate along the Z axis. The second clamping block 31 moves as follows: after the device places the antenna cover 30 in the appropriate position, the robot moves the entire device back to the top of the separation machine and moves it to the appropriate position. The gripping mechanism located below the gripper reference plate 10 drives the gripper 60 to grip the block 31 via the cylinder 40. Under the drive of the cylinder 40, the gripper 60 opens horizontally, and the robot moves the entire device downwards along the Z axis. After the gripper 60 grips the block 31, the robot moves the entire device upwards along the Z axis and then places the block 31 in the appropriate position.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
