Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A smart toilet loading robot fixture includes a mounting base 10. One end of the mounting base 10 is connected to the execution end of the loading robot, and the other end is connected to a mounting plate 11. In this embodiment, the mounting base 10 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and both ends of the mounting base 10 are provided with flanges. One flange is connected to the execution end of the loading robot by bolts, and the other flange is connected to the mounting plate 11 by bolts. With the length direction of the mounting plate 11 as the left-right direction, upright plates 12 are erected on the front and rear sides of the mounting plate 11. The bottom surfaces of the two upright plates 12 are fixedly connected to a base plate 13 arranged horizontally in the left-right direction. The two ends of the mounting plate 11 are symmetrically provided with horizontal plates 111 arranged horizontally in the front-back direction. The outer surface of the horizontal plate 111 is vertically provided with a first vertical drive unit 20. The output end of each first vertical drive unit 20 is connected to a movable component that extends downward and passes through the base plate 13. Under the drive of the first vertical drive unit 20, the movable component can move up and down.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3The bottom of the movable component is provided with a limiting unit for limiting the toilet from the top. The middle of the base plate 13 is provided with a positioning clamp that extends downward and can be inserted and engaged with the toilet drain pipe for center positioning. One side of the base plate is provided with an adsorption clamp, which includes a second vertical drive unit 61 fixed on the base plate 13. The output end of the second vertical drive unit 61 extends downward through the base plate 13 and is connected to a movable plate 62. The side of the movable plate 62 is provided with a drive housing 63. The top of the drive housing 63 is provided with a third vertical drive unit 64, and the bottom is provided with two symmetrically arranged support seats 65. The two support seats 65 are rotatably provided with gears 66 at their adjacent ends, and each support seat 65 is provided with a sponge suction cup 67 on its bottom surface. The output end of the third vertical drive unit 64 extends into the drive housing 63 and is connected to a double-sided rack 641 that meshes with the two gears 66 to drive the two sponge suction cups 67 to move closer or further apart.

[0027] In application, the loading robot moves the gripper above the toilet. The positioning gripper first engages with the toilet's drain pipe to center the toilet. Then, the first vertical drive unit 20 drives the movable component downwards, and the limiting unit limits the toilet from above, ensuring it doesn't wobble during transport. In the second transport method, the second vertical drive unit 61 drives the movable plate 62 downwards, bringing the sponge suction cup 67 close to the toilet surface. Then, the output of the third vertical drive unit 64, through the meshing of a double-sided rack 641 and a gear 66, drives the two sponge suction cups 67 closer together until they are tightly pressed against the toilet surface, thus achieving stable gripping of the toilet. This invention uses two different toilet fixing methods, so the loading robot can transport the toilet without changing the gripper when performing toilet loading or unloading operations, improving the gripper's versatility and significantly increasing the overall production efficiency of the toilet production line.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The outer side of the horizontal plate 111 is provided with a linear guide rail 112, and a slider 113 is slidably provided on the linear guide rail 112. The slider 113 is provided with the aforementioned first vertical drive unit 20. With this arrangement, when in use, the first vertical drive unit 20, the movable component and the limiting unit connected to it can move with the slider 113, thereby adapting to toilets of different sizes.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5The movable components include a connecting plate 31 connected to the first vertical drive unit 20, a first sliding block 32 disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 31, and a connecting plate 33 disposed on the bottom surface of the first sliding block 32; the base plate 13 is provided with two symmetrically arranged first fixing seats 131, and each of the two first fixing seats 131 has a vertically arranged first slide rail 132 that can slide and engage with the first sliding block 32 on its opposite side; the connecting plate 33 has a second slide rail 331 on its side, and the bottom surface of the base plate 13 has two symmetrically arranged second fixing seats 133. Each of the opposite sides is provided with a second sliding block 134 that slides in cooperation with the second slide rail 331; the bottom end of the connecting plate 33 is provided with a connecting block 34, and the connecting block 34 is provided with a limiting unit. In this embodiment, the limiting unit includes a limiting post 41 arranged laterally, and nylon bearings 42 are sleeved at both ends of the limiting post 41. With this arrangement, when the limiting post 41 limits the top surface of the toilet, the nylon bearings 42 can effectively reduce the friction between the limiting post 41 and the toilet surface, avoid scratching or wearing the toilet surface, and enhance the stability of the limiting.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The second vertical drive unit 61 has movable sleeves 135 that penetrate the base plate 13 on both sides. Each movable sleeve 135 has a movable guide rod 136 inserted inside it. The bottom ends of both guide rods 136 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 62. This design not only improves the movement accuracy of the movable plate 62, but also enhances the stability of the overall structure, providing a reliable guarantee for the efficient operation of the fixture. It should be noted that in this utility model, the first vertical drive unit 20, the second vertical drive unit 61, and the third vertical drive unit 64 are all cylinders.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The positioning fixture includes a positioning rod 51, and the end of the positioning rod 51 is provided with a positioning hook 52 for extending into the toilet drain pipe. The head of the positioning hook 52 is provided with a guide slope. In application, the positioning hook 52 can be accurately inserted into the toilet drain pipe, thereby achieving the center positioning of the toilet and ensuring that the position of the toilet remains stable during transportation.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The sponge suction cup 67 includes a housing 671, with a sponge pad 672 on the suction surface of the housing 671. The housing 671 has a vacuum chamber 673 and a vacuum interface 674 connected to a vacuum generator (not shown in the figure). The suction surface has an air suction hole (not shown in the figure) that connects the vacuum chamber 673 to the outside. The sponge pad 672 has a corresponding suction hole 675 that communicates with the air suction hole. When the vacuum generator is activated, the suction hole 675 can firmly adhere to the toilet surface, providing strong suction force and ensuring the safety of the toilet during transportation.

[0033] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
