Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hexagonal stud feeding and clamping technology, and in particular to an end clamping device for hexagonal stud feeding. Background Technology

[0002] A hex bolt is a fastener consisting of a head and a thread. Bolts are classified by material into iron bolts and stainless steel bolts. Robotic arm gripping refers to using the motion and control system of a robotic arm, in conjunction with clamps and other devices, to complete actions such as grasping, moving, and placing objects.

[0003] Existing gripping devices often employ fixed grippers that are directly exposed to the external working environment, lacking retractable space and protective mechanisms. During continuous operation on automated production lines, the long-term exposed grippers are susceptible to corrosion from processing contaminants such as metal shavings, cutting fluid, and dust, leading to wear and corrosion on the gripper surface. This, in turn, affects gripping accuracy and stability. Furthermore, due to the lack of retraction space, the grippers cannot be hidden or stored in time when the equipment is stopped for maintenance, workstation adjustments, or other auxiliary operations. This not only makes them prone to collisions with surrounding equipment and materials, causing mechanical damage, but also affects the compactness and rationality of the production line layout by occupying additional space.

[0047] The retraction and extension assembly also includes a lifting groove 26, a screw cylinder 27, a mounting plate 28, and a slider 29;

[0048] Lifting grooves 26 are formed on both sides of the outer wall of the rotating drum 23, screw barrel 27 is threaded to one end of screw rod 24, mounting plate 28 is fixedly connected to one end of screw barrel 27, and slider 29 is fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of mounting plate 28;

[0049] The fixed cylinder 21 is used to open the guide groove 25, which provides space for the slider 29 to slide. The rotating cylinder 23 is used to open the lifting groove 26, which provides space for the slider 29 to slide. The threaded rod 24 and the screw cylinder 27 are set on the same central axis. The output shaft of the main motor 22 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 24 through a coupling.

[0050] With the auxiliary cooperation between the fixed cylinder 21 and the main motor 22, the threaded rod 24 can be rotated while the main motor 22 is started to work, so that the gripper 14 can be retracted and extended.

[0051] Working principle: After the operator uses the gripper 14;

[0052] First, by starting the main motor 22, the main motor 22 can drive the threaded rod 24 to rotate, so that the screw barrel 27 slides along the threaded trajectory outside the threaded rod 24.

[0053] Next, the sliders 29 fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting plate 28 can slide through the lifting groove 26 and inside the guide groove 25, so that the clamps 14 installed on the mounting plate 28 can be retracted into the inside of the rotating drum 23.

[0060] The groove 31 provides space for the pulley 34 to slide, and the slot 36 provides space for the insertion of the plug 35 and the plug rod 33;

[0061] With the auxiliary cooperation between the slide groove 31 and the protective cover 32, the hydraulic rod 15 can be exposed to the outside by sliding the two sets of protective covers 32 while pulling the insert rod 33 upward;

[0062] Working principle: When the staff is inspecting the hydraulic rod 15;

[0063] First, by pulling the insert rod 33 upwards, the staff can remove the insert rod 33 from the slot 36 and simultaneously release the insertion of the insert block 35.

[0064] Next, slide the two sets of protective covers 32 outwards, so that the pulleys 34 fixedly connected to the inner side of the two sets of protective covers 32 can slide inside the slide groove 31, and the two sets of protective covers 32 can release the protection formed at the front end of the hydraulic rod 15.

[0065] This step assists staff in disassembling and repairing the hydraulic rod 15, providing them with ample space for maintenance.
