Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a brake pad gripping device. Background Technology
[0002] Brake pad gripping devices typically employ mechanical grippers or vacuum suction cups as the gripping actuators, using cylinders, motors, and other drive components to achieve lifting and lateral movement. However, these devices lack effective buffering mechanisms during the gripping process. When the gripping component contacts the brake pad, if the brake pad size changes, the drive component, moving the gripping suction cup, can easily generate a rigid impact. This impact can damage the surface of the brake pad, leading to a high defect rate. Therefore, a buffering structure is needed during the gripping process to reduce the impact damage between the brake pad and the gripping action. Consequently, a brake pad gripping device is required to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a brake pad gripping device to solve the problem of brake pad gripping stability in the prior art.

[0009] The guide base can guide the movement of the guide column, thereby ensuring the stability of the guide column during sliding, and thus ensuring the stability of the gripping base.
[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the gripping base is provided with a base through hole, and a limiting through hole is provided inside the base through hole. The radial dimension of the limiting through hole is smaller than the radial dimension of the base through hole, and the lower side of the guide post is located inside the base through hole above the limiting through hole.
[0011] By setting a base through hole and a limiting through hole inside the base through hole, the guide post can be inserted into the base through hole to provide limiting support and prevent it from going out of bounds during the movement of the guide post.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, a locking groove is provided on the lower side of the guide post, and a locking bolt is provided in the through hole of the base. The locking bolt passes through the through hole of the base and is threadedly connected to the locking groove.
[0013] By passing the locking bolt through the base through hole and threading it into the locking groove, the connection stability between the guide post and the gripping base can be ensured.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the buffer elastic element is a buffer spring, and the radial dimension of the buffer spring is set to be larger than the radial dimension of the guide post.
[0015] The use of a buffer spring allows the gripping base to reset promptly after being compressed, ensuring the accuracy and stability of subsequent gripping actions.
[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting ring is provided on the lower side of the drive base. The limiting ring is sleeved on the guide post, and the radial dimension of the limiting ring is larger than the radial dimension of the buffer spring.
[0017] The limiting ring provides stable support for the buffer spring, preventing displacement deviation during use and ensuring its reset capability.
[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, a suction cup drive is provided between the upper side of the gripping suction cup and the gripping base, and the suction cup drive is detachably connected to the gripping base.
[0019] The detachable connection between the suction cup driver and the gripping base allows for easy and quick replacement of the suction cup driver to meet the needs of gripping different types of brake pads in actual use.
[0020] As described above, the brake pad gripping device of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by setting two sets of gripping drive members on the transverse frame, when gripping brake pads, one set can grip the brake pads to be processed for loading, and the other set can grip the processed brake pads for unloading, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment. Through the gripping base at the movable end of the gripping drive member, the gripping base can provide stable support for the gripping action of the brake pad. By using two sets of guide columns to penetrate the drive base, and the two sets of guide columns to slide with the drive base, the two sets of guide columns can be used in conjunction with the buffer elastic element to provide buffer space for the gripping action, thereby avoiding damage to the brake pads by the gripping action.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a brake pad gripping device, including a transverse frame 1 with two sets of gripping drive members 2. The fixed end of the gripping drive member 2 is detachably connected to the transverse frame 1. The movable end of the gripping drive member 2 is provided with a gripping assembly for gripping brake pads. The gripping assembly includes a gripping base 3 located at the movable end of the gripping drive member 2. A gripping suction cup 4 is provided on the lower side of the gripping base 3 for gripping brake pads. Two sets of guide posts 5 are provided on the gripping base 3. A drive base 6 is provided between the movable end of the gripping drive member 2 and the gripping base 3. Both sets of guide posts 5 are provided through the drive base 6. Furthermore, a buffer elastic member 7 is provided on the guide post 5 between the drive base 6 and the gripping base 3.
[0029] By installing two sets of gripping drive components 2 on the transverse frame 1, when gripping brake pads, one set can grip the brake pads to be processed for loading, while the other set can grip the processed brake pads for unloading, thus improving the working efficiency of the equipment. The gripping base 3 at the movable end of the gripping drive component 2 can provide stable support for the gripping action of the brake pads. The two sets of guide columns 5 pass through the drive base 6, and the two sets of guide columns 5 slide with the drive base 6. In this way, the two sets of guide columns 5, together with the buffer elastic component 7, can provide buffer space for the gripping action, thereby avoiding damage to the brake pads by the gripping action.
[0030] A guide base 8 is provided on the drive base 6. The guide post 5 passes through the guide base 8 and slides with the guide base 8. The guide base 8 can guide the movement of the guide post 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the guide post 5 during the sliding process, and thus ensuring the movement stability of the gripping base 3.
[0031] The gripping base 3 is provided with a base through hole 9, and a limiting through hole 10 is provided inside the base through hole 9. The radial dimension of the limiting through hole 10 is smaller than the radial dimension of the base through hole 9. The lower side of the guide post 5 is located inside the base through hole 9 above the limiting through hole 10. By providing the base through hole 9 and the limiting through hole 10 inside the base through hole 9, the guide post 5 can be provided with limiting support when inserted into the base through hole 9, thus preventing the guide post 5 from overstepping its position during movement.
[0032] A locking groove 11 is provided on the lower side of the guide post 5, and a locking bolt 12 is provided in the base through hole 9. The locking bolt 12 passes through the base through hole 9 and is threadedly connected to the locking groove 11. By passing the locking bolt 12 through the base through hole 9 and threadedly connecting it to the locking groove 11, the connection stability between the guide post 5 and the gripping base 3 can be guaranteed.
[0033] The buffer elastic element 7 is a buffer spring. The radial dimension of the buffer spring is larger than the radial dimension of the guide post 5. The buffer spring enables the gripping base 3 to reset in time after being compressed, ensuring the accuracy and stability of subsequent gripping actions.
[0034] A limiting ring 13 is provided on the lower side of the drive base 6. The limiting ring 13 is sleeved on the guide post 5. The radial dimension of the limiting ring 13 is larger than the radial dimension of the buffer spring. The setting of the limiting ring 13 can provide stable support for the buffer spring and prevent the buffer spring from displacement deviation during use, which would affect the reset performance of the buffer spring.
[0035] A suction cup drive component 14 is provided between the upper side of the gripping suction cup 4 and the gripping base 3.

By detachably connecting the suction cup drive component 14 and the gripping base 3, the suction cup drive component 14 can be easily and quickly replaced to meet the needs of gripping different models of brake pads in actual use.
[0036] In summary, this utility model, by equipping the transverse frame with two sets of gripping drive components, enables the simultaneous loading of brake pads by one set and unloading of processed brake pads by the other, improving equipment efficiency. The gripping base at the movable end of the gripping drive components provides stable support for the brake pad gripping action. Two sets of guide posts penetrate the drive base and slide against it, providing a buffer space for the gripping action in conjunction with a cushioning elastic element, thus preventing damage to the brake pads. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses high industrial applicability.
