Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning devices, and in particular to an automatic positioning device for robotic arms. Background Technology

[0002] In modern automated production, the loading and positioning device is a crucial link connecting material supply and processing steps, widely used in intelligent manufacturing processes such as machining, stamping, welding, assembly, and inspection. Its core function is to automatically adjust the workpiece from a disordered or roughly placed state to a precise state with accurate positioning, uniform posture, and easy gripping or clamping, providing reliable assurance for subsequent automated operations. In actual production, the gripping and positioning of sheet metal blanks is generally done manually by observing the robotic arm's running position. This positioning method has low accuracy and is prone to misalignment. Furthermore, traditional positioning devices struggle to position sheet metal blanks of different shapes and sizes. Therefore, this paper proposes an automatic positioning device for robotic arm loading. Utility Model Content

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] This embodiment provides an automatic positioning device for a robotic arm, including a worktable 1. Several baffles 11 are fixedly installed at the edge of the upper surface of the worktable 1. A cylinder 111 is fixedly installed on one side of each baffle 11. The multiple cylinders 111 push the sheet metal blank from multiple directions for centering. Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent the sheet metal blank on the workbench 1 from having high resistance to movement and affecting the smoothness of feeding, two slide rails 12 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1. Several support blocks 13 are slidably provided on the upper surface of the workbench 1. The support blocks 13 provide multiple support points. The slide rails 12 support the sheet metal blank, reducing the contact range between the sheet metal blank and the workbench 1, so as to reduce contact friction. The robot arm transports the sheet metal blank to the workbench 1 through its suction cup. After the clamping part 2 positions and centers the sheet metal blank, the robot arm transports the centered sheet metal blank to the stamping machine.

[0024] It also includes: a clamping part 2, a plurality of clamping parts 2 are disposed on the upper surface of the worktable 1, the clamping part 2 includes a connecting block 21, the connecting block 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the piston rod of the cylinder 111, the cylinder 111 drives the connecting block 21 to move horizontally, and a clamping block 22 is clamped and installed on one side of the connecting block 21. The connecting block 21 drives the clamping block 22 to push the sheet metal blank for positioning. The sheet metal blank can be pushed to the corresponding position according to the stroke of the cylinder 111, so that the robot can accurately pick up the material at the corresponding position and achieve the accurate positioning effect of the sheet metal blank.

[0025] The clamping block 22 can be replaced to accommodate sheet metal blanks of different shapes. The connecting block 21 drives the clamping block 22 forward, gently pushing the sheet metal blank for positioning; for example... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate the replacement of different clamping blocks 22, a mounting slot 211 is provided on one side of the connecting block 21, and a mounting insert 221 is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping block 22. The mounting insert 221 is inserted into the mounting slot 211. The mounting insert 221 has a trapezoidal structure that is adapted to the mounting slot 211. When changing the workpiece type, it is only necessary to remove the current clamping block 22 and replace it with a clamping block 22 that matches the contour of the new workpiece. The trapezoidal insertion structure can prevent the clamping block 22 from slipping out of the connecting block 21. Align the trapezoidal mounting insert 221 of the clamping block 22 with the mounting slot 211 of the connecting block 21, and insert it vertically downwards until it reaches the bottom; Figure 4 As shown, a push groove 223 is provided on one side of the clamping block 22. The push groove 223 has a concave arc-shaped structure. The concave arc-shaped push groove 223 increases the contact area, conforms to the edge shape of the circular sheet metal part, and achieves uniform force distribution; as shown Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting slot 211 has a telescopic groove 212. A limiting block 23 is slidably installed in the telescopic groove 212. One end of the limiting block 23 has a downwardly inclined angle. A pull shaft 231 is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting block 23. One end of the pull shaft 231 passes through the connecting block 21 and is exposed to the outside. A spring 232 is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting block 23. The other end of the spring 232 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the telescopic groove 212. A limiting groove 222 is opened on one side of the mounting block 221. One end of the limiting block 23 is inserted into the mounting block 221. When the clamping block 22 is inserted into the connecting block 21 within the mounting block 221, the edge of the mounting block 221 presses against the beveled surface of the limiting block 23, causing the limiting block 23 to retract into the telescopic groove 212 and compress the spring 232. When the limiting block 23 aligns with the limiting groove 222, the spring 232 returns to its original position, pushing the limiting block 23 into the limiting groove 222, thus completing the self-locking. When removing the clamping block 22, the operator pulls the pull shaft 231 outward to disengage the limiting block 23 from the limiting groove 222, and then pulls the clamping block 22 upward to complete the replacement.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
