Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an empty frame gripping device with a flip-top function. Background Technology

[0002] The empty frame gripper with flip-top function is a key piece of industrial automation equipment. It is specially designed to grip and operate containers such as material frames and turnover boxes with openable and closable covers. It integrates gripping, flipping, and positioning functions into one unit. This equipment can operate stably in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and dust. It is widely used in automobile manufacturing, food and pharmaceutical, chemical storage and other fields, which significantly improves material flow efficiency and reduces manual intervention.

[0003] In battery manufacturing, electrolyte filling is required. Before filling, the sealed cap of the container containing the electrolyte needs to be opened, and the electrolyte in the container needs to be extracted into the filling equipment through a negative pressure extraction system. After filling is completed, the sealed cap of the container needs to be reset to facilitate subsequent cleaning, maintenance and recycling of the container.

[0004] Flip-top operation is a crucial step in material handling in industrial automation, directly impacting production efficiency and safety. Currently, some systems rely on manual flip-top operation before loading, requiring operators to physically flip the heavy material cover. This method is inefficient and prone to workplace injuries. Other systems use mechanized drives, but this presents challenges. Most existing mechanical flip-top devices use fixed clamps, which are not easily adjustable. Consequently, when clamping cover plates of different sizes, the equipment needs to be replaced, significantly impacting production efficiency. Therefore, we urgently need a frame gripping device with flip-top functionality to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low efficiency of manual flipping and poor adaptability of mechanical flipping devices in the prior art, and to propose an empty frame gripping device with flipping function.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A frame gripping device with a flip-top function includes a rectangular frame and connecting buckles symmetrically mounted on the rectangular frame. It also includes: connecting plates symmetrically arranged on the rectangular frame; two sets of connecting plates are slidably connected to the side of the rectangular frame away from the connecting buckles; a first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting plates, and a second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting rod; a flip-top plate is rotatably connected to the connecting plates, and the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the flip-top plate; a movable block is slidably connected to the flip-top plate; a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the movable block; clamping members are vertically mounted on the mounting frame; and a clamping area formed between the two sets of clamping members is used to clamp the top cover plate of the empty frame.

[0007] To accommodate cover plates of various sizes, preferably, a bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the rectangular frame, and two sets of connecting plates are threaded to the two ends of the bidirectional screw. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the rectangular frame, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw. When the bidirectional screw rotates, the two sets of connecting plates move closer to each other and further away from each other.

[0008] To activate the first connecting rod, preferably, a U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame, and a cylinder is movably mounted on the connecting plate via a bracket, with the output end of the cylinder rotatably connected to the first connecting rod. When the cylinder works, the first connecting rod abuts against the U-shaped frame.

[0009] In order to adjust the position of the moving block, preferably, a second cylinder is fixedly connected to the flip plate, and the output end of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the moving block. When the second cylinder works, the moving block moves along the length direction of the flip plate.

[0010] In order to drive the slider to correspond to the gap position between the cover plate and the empty frame, preferably, a second drive motor is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket, a lead screw is rotatably connected inside the mounting bracket, the output end of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw, and a slider is threadedly connected to the lead screw. When the second drive motor rotates, the slider moves up and down along the movement path of the lead screw.

[0011] To further clamp the cover plate, the clamping member includes an L-shaped clamping plate mounted on the slider. A spring rod is fixedly connected to the L-shaped clamping plate, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of the spring rod. A clamping area is formed between the clamping plate and the L-shaped clamping plate for clamping the cover plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an empty frame gripping device with a flip-top function, which has the following advantages: 1. This empty frame gripping device with flip-top function uses a design where the first and second connecting rods work together to flip the plate. When the output end of cylinder one moves backward, it drives the first connecting rod to move backward. When the first connecting rod moves backward, it works with the second connecting rod to flip the plate upward, thus achieving the flipping action. This avoids the need for manual flipping, effectively improving the efficiency of flipping empty frames and also enhancing safety.

[0013] 2. This empty frame gripping device with flip-top function, through the design of cylinder two, can adjust the position of the clamping component on the mounting frame when the output end of cylinder two moves, thereby determining the position of the cover plate. When drive motor two rotates forward, the lead screw drives the slider to move upward. When drive motor two rotates in reverse, the lead screw drives the slider to move downward. When the slider moves, it will cause the clamping component to align with the joint between the cover plate and the empty frame. When drive motor one drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, the two connecting plates move closer to each other, and the L-shaped clamping plate is inserted into the joint position. The clamping plate moves upward under the action of the spring rod, realizing the clamping of both sides of the cover plate. It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the clamping plate is trapezoidal, which facilitates sliding on the cover plate, effectively improving the adaptation to the cover plate size and providing stable clamping, further improving production efficiency.

[0014] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model improves the efficiency of flipping the cover, enhances safety performance, avoids the need for manual flipping, and further improves production and processing efficiency.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0019] Example: Reference Figures 1-4 A frame grabbing device with a flip-top function includes a rectangular frame 1 and connecting buckles 2 symmetrically mounted on the rectangular frame 1. Here, the connecting buckles 2 are used to connect with external equipment, such as lifting equipment, gantry crane or robot, so that it can move and facilitate the positioning of the empty frame. A bidirectional screw 9 is rotatably connected to the rectangular frame 1, and two sets of connecting plates 3 are respectively threaded to the two ends of the bidirectional screw 9. A drive motor 10 is fixedly mounted on the rectangular frame 1, and the output end of the drive motor 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 9. When the bidirectional screw 9 rotates, the two sets of connecting plates 3 move closer and further away from each other. Here, when the drive motor 10 rotates forward, the two sets of connecting plates 3 move closer to each other, and when it rotates in reverse, the two sets of connecting plates 3 move further away from each other, which is used to adapt to cover plates of different sizes. It also includes connecting plates 3 symmetrically arranged on the rectangular frame 1. Two sets of connecting plates 3 are slidably connected to the side of the rectangular frame 1 away from the connecting buckle 2. A first connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 3, and a second connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 4. A flip plate 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 3, and the second connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the flip plate 6. A U-shaped frame 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3, and the first connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 11. A cylinder 12 is movably mounted on the connecting plate 3 via a bracket, and the output end of the cylinder 12 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 4. When the output end of the cylinder 12 moves backward... At this time, the first connecting rod 4 abuts against the U-shaped frame 11. It should be noted that when the first connecting rod 4 moves backward, the cylinder 12 will make a small angle displacement to ensure that the first connecting rod 4 can move normally. The connection between the cylinder 12 and the first connecting rod 4 is located in the upper middle position. At this position, when the output end of the cylinder 12 moves backward, it will drive the first connecting rod 4 to move backward. When the first connecting rod 4 moves backward, it will cooperate with the second connecting rod 5 to flip the flip plate 6 upward, thereby realizing the flipping action. This avoids the need for manual flipping, effectively improving the flipping efficiency of the empty frame and also improving safety.

[0020] A movable block 7 is slidably connected to a flip plate 6. A second cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the flip plate 6, and the output end of the second cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the movable block 7. When the output end of the second cylinder 13 is driven, the movable block 7 moves along the length of the flip plate 6. A mounting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the movable block 7, and a second drive motor 14 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 8. A lead screw 15 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 8, and the output end of the second drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 15. A slider 16 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 15. When the second drive motor 14 rotates, the slider 16 moves up and down along the movement path of the lead screw 15. A clamping component is raised and lowered on the mounting frame 8. The clamping area formed between the two sets of clamping components is used to clamp the top cover plate of the empty frame. The clamping component includes an L-shaped clamping plate 17 mounted on the slider 16. A spring rod 18 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped clamping plate 17, and a clamping plate 19 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the spring rod 18. A clamping area is formed between plate 19 and L-shaped clamping plate 17 to clamp the cover plate. Here, when the output end of cylinder 13 moves, the position of the clamping component on the mounting bracket 8 can be adjusted to determine the position of the cover plate. When drive motor 14 rotates forward, screw 15 drives slider 16 to move upward. When drive motor 14 rotates in reverse, screw 15 drives slider 16 to move downward. When slider 16 moves, it will cause the clamping component to align with the joint between the cover plate and the empty frame. When drive motor 10 drives bidirectional screw 9 to rotate, the two connecting plates 3 move closer to each other, L-shaped clamping plate 17 is inserted into the joint position, and clamping plate 19 moves upward under the action of spring rod 18 to achieve clamping of both sides of the cover plate. It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of clamping plate 19 is trapezoidal, which facilitates sliding on the cover plate, effectively improves the adaptation to the size of the cover plate, and can provide stable clamping, further improving production efficiency.

[0021] In this utility model, the operator starts the drive motor 10, which drives the bidirectional screw 9 to rotate, thereby moving the connecting plates 3 closer to the cover plate. The drive motor 14 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate, causing the slider 16 to move and align with the seam between the cover plate and the empty frame. Then, the cylinder 13 drives the moving block 7 to move, moving the L-shaped clamping plate 17 to the front end of the cover plate. At this time, the two sets of connecting plates 3 approach each other, causing the L-shaped clamping plate 17 to extend into the gap. The clamping plate 19 contacts the surface of the cover plate under the elastic support of the spring rod 18, and the clamping area formed clamps the cover plate. At this time, the output end of the cylinder 12 moves backward, driving the first connecting rod 4 to move backward. The second connecting rod 5 connected to the first connecting rod 4 drives the flipping plate 6 to flip upward, thereby completing the flipping action of the cover plate on the corresponding empty frame.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
