Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palletizing robot technology, specifically a palletizing robot designed to prevent swaying. Background Technology

[0002] A palletizing robot is an automated industrial device primarily used to neatly stack (palletize) or disassemble packaged goods of different shapes and sizes (such as boxes, bags, and containers) onto pallets, production lines, or other carriers according to preset rules. Its core function is to achieve efficient, stable, and automated handling and stacking of goods. Palletizing robots are widely used in scenarios requiring large-scale handling, such as automobile manufacturing, logistics warehousing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and home appliances.

[0003] Palletizing robots need to rotate horizontally when transferring goods, but during the rotation process, the robot is prone to swaying up and down due to insufficient stability, which affects the stability of gripping goods. Moreover, long-term swaying will accelerate the wear of the rotating shaft. Therefore, we propose a palletizing robot to prevent swaying. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a palletizing robot that prevents swaying, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a palletizing robot to prevent swaying, comprising a robot base, a robot support column fixed to the top of the robot base, a first motor installed at the bottom of the robot support column, a lead screw installed at the output end of the first motor, and a movable seat fitted around the lead screw, the movable seat threadedly engaging with the lead screw, one end of the movable seat extending to the outside of the robot support column and a robot arm installed via a rotating shaft, and a gripper installed on one side of the bottom end of the robot arm, a second motor installed at the top of the movable seat at the rotating shaft position, and the output end of the second motor fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, an arc-shaped support frame provided below the robot arm, and a guide rail provided at the top of the arc-shaped support frame, a support slider installed at the bottom end of the robot arm via a bearing, the support slider engaging with the guide rail, and small rollers installed on the inner walls of the support sliders on both sides of the guide rail.

[0006] Preferably, the guide rail has a crossbeam welded inside, the crossbeam has an inverted T-shaped structure, and the top of the crossbeam is welded to the movable seat.

[0007] Preferably, there are four sets of small rollers, and the small rollers are in contact with the guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, a first limiting block and a second limiting block are fixed at both ends of the guide rail.

[0009] Preferably, an oil storage tank is installed at the top of the robotic arm support, and a piston plate is provided inside the oil storage tank, with the outer wall of the piston plate tightly fitted to the inner wall of the oil storage tank.

[0010] Preferably, a cylinder is installed at the top of the oil storage tank, and the output end of the cylinder extends into the interior of the oil storage tank and is fixedly connected to a piston plate. The cylinder drives the piston plate to move downward, and the piston plate presses out the lubricating oil inside the oil storage tank.

[0011] Preferably, an oil delivery hose is installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the oil storage tank, and one end of the oil delivery hose passes through the movable seat and extends to one side of the rotating shaft. The oil delivery hose drips lubricating oil onto the rotating shaft to lubricate it, which can prevent dry friction from increasing resistance and delay the wear of the rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, an oil filling port is provided on the outer wall of the top of the oil storage tank, and a plunger is provided inside the oil filling port. The plunger is tightly engaged with the oil filling port to facilitate the addition of lubricating oil.

[0013] This utility model provides a palletizing robot that prevents swaying, which has significant technical advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art, as detailed below:

[0014] 1. By installing an arc-shaped support frame and guide rail under the robotic arm, the support slider at the bottom of the robotic arm slides along the guide rail, effectively supporting the robotic arm and ensuring its stability during horizontal rotation. Small rollers installed on the inner wall of the support slider fit snugly against the guide rail, reducing sliding friction and converting it into rolling friction, significantly improving the smoothness of the robotic arm's rotation. This effectively prevents the robotic arm and gripper from swaying up and down during rotation, ensuring the stability and reliability of grasping goods.

[0015] 2. The inverted T-shaped crossbeam welded inside the guide rail is welded to the movable seat, enhancing the rigidity and stability of the entire mechanical structure and preventing structural deformation during prolonged high-intensity operation. A first limit block and a second limit block are fixed at both ends of the guide rail, limiting the movement range of the support slider and preventing mechanical damage due to excessive movement.

[0016] 3. The oil storage tank and piston plate design at the top of the robotic arm's support column, driven by a cylinder, pushes lubricating oil out and drips it onto the rotating shaft via a hose, achieving continuous lubrication. This lubrication system effectively prevents dry friction on the shaft, reduces resistance and wear, and extends the shaft's service life. The oil filler port at the top of the storage tank and the internal plunger design facilitate lubrication, simplify maintenance, and improve the equipment's maintainability.

[0017] 4. The second motor drives the rotating shaft, enabling the robotic arm to rotate quickly and smoothly horizontally, improving the efficiency of cargo transfer. Due to the smooth rotation of the robotic arm and the stability of its gripping of cargo, the risk of cargo falling due to the arm's swing is significantly reduced, improving operational safety.
