Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of paint-pulling equipment, specifically relating to a paint-pulling robot. Background Technology
[0002] In the painting process of rods (fishing rods, trekking poles, ski poles), the work of painting workers is arduous, their bodies covered in paint, and they spend all day facing the paint at close range. This results in low efficiency, inconsistent product quality, and increased production costs. Furthermore, because the paint fumes are toxic, prolonged painting work poses health risks. While some specialized painting equipment has replaced manual painting, current equipment uses a gripper mechanism to hold the rod material. This grip requires holding a relatively long section to ensure stability, leaving the gripped section unpainted. This results in an excessively long unpainted portion of the rod material, affecting subsequent processing and product quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a paint-pulling robot for holding rods, performing paint-pulling on the rods, and transferring the painted rods to a material cart. It has high stability in holding the rods while having a short gripping part.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0005] A paint-pulling robot includes a base, a robotic arm mounted on the upper end of the base, a gripper shaft mounted on the end of the robotic arm, a gripper cylinder connected to the gripper shaft, the gripper cylinder driving the gripping fingers to open and close, a guide mechanism provided at the front end of the gripper cylinder, the guide mechanism having a central rod extending beyond the gripping length of the gripping fingers, and a gripping guide groove provided at the corresponding position of the gripping fingers.
[0006] The clamping fingers are four in number, arranged in pairs opposite each other.
[0007] The clamping finger includes a connector and a clamping member. The connector is L-shaped, with its bottom surface connected to the clamping jaws of the clamping jaw cylinder and its front surface connected to the clamping member.
[0008] The clamping member has a guide portion and a clamping portion. The guide portion is located inside the clamping guide groove, and the clamping portion is located outside the clamping guide groove and extends towards the center rod.
[0009] The robotic arm includes a first arm, a second arm, a third arm, a fourth arm, a fifth arm, and a sixth arm. The first arm is rotatably connected to the base. The second arm is mounted on the first arm and rotates around the first arm as its rotation center. The third arm is mounted on the second arm and rotates around the first arm as its rotation center. The fourth arm is mounted on the third arm and rotates around the third arm as its rotation center. The fifth arm is mounted on the fourth arm and rotates around the fourth arm as its rotation center. The sixth arm is mounted on the fifth arm and rotates around the fifth arm as its rotation center. A gripper shaft is connected to the sixth arm.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the central rod of the guide mechanism is inserted into the cavity of the rod material, and the clamping fingers clamp the outer wall of the rod material. The cooperation between the central rod and the clamping fingers can reduce the clamping length of the clamping fingers, and the unpainted part is reduced during the paint pulling operation. During the placement of the rod material, when the clamping fingers release the rod material, the central rod provides internal auxiliary support for the rod material, making the placement operation more reliable.
