[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of an automatic picking robot for glassware production provided by this utility model;
[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the limiting groove, rotating component and connecting mounting part in this utility model;
[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting mounting part, adjusting part and gripping part in this utility model.
[0022] An automated material handling robot for glassware production includes: a rotating base 1, a support frame 2 mounted on the rotating base 1, an electric slide rail 3 mounted on the upper part of the support frame 2, a lifting base 4 slidably connected to the electric slide rail 3 for easy gripping and transferring glassware at different heights, a limit groove 5 and a rotating assembly 6 mounted on the lifting base 4, a connecting mounting part 7 slidably connected to the rotating assembly 6 for transferring the gripped glassware to subsequent processes, an adjusting part 8 mounted on the connecting mounting part 7, and a gripping part 9 mounted on the adjusting part 8 for adjusting the gripping part 9 to grip the glassware.
[0023] The robotic arm adjusts its horizontal position by rotating the rotating base 1, the electric slide rail 3 drives the lifting base 4 to move vertically to the target height, and the rotating component 6 controls the movement path of the connecting mounting part 7 to move along the trajectory of the limiting groove 5; at the same time, the connecting mounting part 7 drives the adjusting part 8 to rotate to the target angle, and drives the gripping part 9 to clamp the glassware and transfer it to the designated position.
[0024] The limiting groove 5 includes a first arc-shaped groove 51, a second arc-shaped groove 52 is provided at the end of the first arc-shaped groove 51, and a straight groove 53 is provided at the end of the second arc-shaped groove 52.
[0025] The limiting groove 5 forms a guide channel through the continuous curve design of the first arc groove 51, the second arc groove 52, and the straight groove 53, which can control the movement trajectory of the limiting slider 65. At the same time, the gradual curvature at the end of the groove reduces the impact of movement and ensures the smoothness of the movement of the connecting mounting part 7.
[0026] The rotating assembly 6 includes a first drive motor 61 and a turntable 66. The output end of the first drive motor 61 is provided with a first rotating shaft 62. A connecting rod 63 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 62. A moving groove 64 is provided on the connecting rod 63. A limiting slider 65 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 63. The limiting slider 65 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 67, thereby controlling the movement trajectory of the connecting mounting part 7. A U-shaped limiting slide groove 67 is rotatably connected to the turntable 66. The connecting mounting part 7 is slidably connected to the U-shaped limiting slide groove 67, restricting the sliding of the connecting mounting part 7 within the U-shaped limiting slide groove 67.
[0027] The rotating component 6 drives the connecting rod 63 to generate a compound motion through the first drive motor 61. The coordinated action of the moving groove 64 and the limiting slider 65 transforms the rotational motion into a planar motion with a specific trajectory. Together with the U-shaped limiting groove 67 on the turntable 66, a dual trajectory constraint mechanism is formed, which not only ensures the accuracy of the moving path of the connecting mounting part 7, but also facilitates maintenance through the open design of the U-shaped structure.
[0028] The connecting mounting part 7 includes a sliding rod 71, on which a blocking block 72 is fixedly connected, corresponding to a U-shaped limiting groove 67. A first mounting plate 73 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 71. A reinforcing rib plate 74 and a second drive motor 75 are provided on the first mounting plate 73. A second rotating shaft 76 is provided at the output end of the second drive motor 75. A second mounting plate 77 is fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 76 for mounting the adjusting part 8.
[0029] The connecting mounting part 7 adopts a rigid connection structure between the sliding rod 71 and the blocking block 72, forming a stable sliding pair in the U-shaped limiting slide groove 67. The load-bearing rigidity of the first mounting plate 73 is improved by the reinforcing rib plate 74. The combination of the second drive motor 75 and the second rotating shaft 76 realizes the planar rotation function of the adjustment part 8, which meets the multi-angle gripping requirements.
[0030] The adjusting part 8 includes an adjusting screw 81, a sliding rod 82, a second drive motor 83, a moving plate 84, and a fixed plate 85. The adjusting screw 81 is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 83. The moving plate 84 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 81 and the sliding rod 82. A T-shaped rod 86 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 85. A spring 87 is sleeved on the T-shaped rod 86. The gripping part 9 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 84, the T-shaped rod 86, and the spring 87.
[0031] The adjustment unit 8 forms a guide adjustment system by adjusting the lead screw 81 and the sliding rod 82 in parallel arrangement. It works with the second drive motor 83 to realize the linear displacement of the moving plate 84. The elastic compensation mechanism composed of the T-shaped rod 86 and the spring 87 can adapt to the clamping pressure of glassware of different specifications and avoid damage to the glassware caused by rigid clamping.
[0032] The gripping part 9 includes an arc-shaped plate 91, on which a protective pad 92 is fixedly connected. The protective pad 92 is provided with multiple sets of evenly distributed micro suction cups 93.
[0033] The gripping part 9 adopts a structural design of arc plate 91 and protective pad 92. The elastic material reduces contact stress, and the negative pressure adsorption system formed by the micro suction cup 93 achieves double fixation, improving the success rate of gripping and the integrity of the container.
[0034] The working principle of the automatic picking robot for glassware production provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0035] The robotic arm adjusts its horizontal position by rotating the rotating base 1, the electric slide rail 3 drives the lifting base 4 to move vertically to the target height, and the rotating component 6 controls the movement path of the connecting mounting part 7 to move along the trajectory of the limiting groove 5; at the same time, the connecting mounting part 7 drives the adjusting part 8 to rotate to the target angle, and drives the gripping part 9 to clamp the glassware and transfer it to the designated position.
[0036] Compared with related technologies, the automatic picking robot for glassware production provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0037] The rotating seat 1 provides stable rotational support and works with the electric slide rail 3 and the lifting seat 4 to achieve three-dimensional positioning; the variable curvature channel of the limiting groove 5, combined with the dual trajectory constraint of the rotating component 6, ensures smooth movement and can adjust the orientation of the glassware after gripping it, increasing the flexibility during placement; the lead screw 81 of the adjusting part 8 and the elastic compensation mechanism adaptively adjust the clamping pressure; the gripping part 9 has flexible contact and double fixing effect, improving the success rate of gripping and the integrity of the glassware.
