Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] In practical implementation: such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a damage-resistant brake disc handling device includes:

[0034] A base 1 and a robotic arm mechanism are connected to the base 1. A mounting plate 10 is located at the end of the robotic arm mechanism away from the base 1. Multiple connecting rods 12 are fixedly connected to the four lower corners of the mounting plate 10. A drive ring block 13 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the multiple connecting rods 12. A limiting block 28 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the drive ring block 13. A threaded sleeve 21 is slidably connected to the limiting block 28, and has a threaded groove 22 inside. A screw 20 has one end rotatably connected to the mounting plate 10, and the other end threadedly connected to the threaded groove 22. The snap-fit ​​assembly comprises multiple sets, each set including a sliding groove 27, a snap-fit ​​plate 26, and a second connecting rod 25. The sliding groove 27 is located on the lower part of the circumferential surface of the drive ring block 13. The snap-fit ​​plate 26 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 27, and one end of the second connecting rod 25, passing through the sliding groove 27, is rotatably connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 26. A second control block 24 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded sleeve 21 and rotatably connected to the surfaces of the multiple second connecting rods 25.

[0035] In this embodiment: the base 1 is fixed to the ground, the robotic arm mechanism is installed on the surface of the base 1, the drive ring block 13 is installed on the lower side of the mounting plate 10 via the connecting rod 12, and the limiting block 28 is fixedly connected to the inner circumferential wall of the drive ring block 13. The limiting block 28 is used to limit the threaded sleeve 21 to prevent the threaded sleeve 21 from rotating during movement. The screw 20 is threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve 21, and the rotation of the screw 20 controls the sliding of the threaded sleeve 21 within the limiting block 28. When the threaded sleeve 21 slides, the operation of the locking assembly is controlled by the second control block 24. The connecting component is used to connect the brake disc body 29. When the drive ring block 13 extends into the brake disc body 29, the second control block 24 indirectly drives multiple snap-fit ​​plates 26 to slide out from the slide groove hole 27. The multiple snap-fit ​​plates 26 cooperate to prevent the brake disc body 29 from detaching from the surface of the drive ring block 13. At this time, the robotic arm mechanism operates, indirectly driving the brake disc to move, thereby realizing the handling of the brake disc. Through this connection method, damage caused by the contact between the fork teeth and other mechanical mechanisms of the forklift and the surface of the brake disc during handling is effectively avoided, and the use of the brake disc will not be affected.

[0036] like Figures 1-5As shown, the base 1 is equipped with multiple sets of expansion components. Each set of expansion components includes a sliding hole 14, an expansion plate 16, a first connecting rod 15, and two sets of limiting components. The expansion plate 16 is located on the circumferential surface of the drive ring block 13. The sliding hole 14 is opened on the circumferential surface of the drive ring block 13 and connects the inner and outer sides, arranged in a vertical strip shape. One end of the first connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the expansion plate 16, and the other end of the first connecting rod 15 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 14. The first connecting rod 15 in the expansion component is connected to the first control block 19. The first control block 19 controls the first connecting rod 15 to slide in the sliding hole 14. The first connecting rod 15 supports the expansion plate 16 outward from the circumferential surface of the drive ring block 13. When the drive ring block 13 extends into the brake disc body 29, the expansion plate 16 contacts the inner ring of the brake disc body 29. Through the cooperation of multiple expansion plates 16, the stability of the brake disc body 29 during transportation is improved. Each set of limiting components also includes a thin rod 17 and a sleeve 18. The sleeve 18 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the drive ring block 13. One end of the thin rod 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the expansion plate 16, and the other end of the thin rod 17 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 18. The thin rod 17 and the sleeve 18 cooperate to limit the expansion plate 16, preventing the expansion plate 16 from rotating when supported.

[0037] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a first control block 19 is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve 21. The first control block 19 is rotatably connected to multiple first connecting rods 15. Multiple springs 23 are fixedly connected to the surface of the drive ring block 13. All multiple springs 23 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the first control block 19.

[0038] In this embodiment: the first control block 19 is used to control the movement of multiple first connecting rods 15, and controls the movement of multiple expansion plates 16 through the first connecting rods 15. The spring 23 connects the first control block 19 and the threaded sleeve 21. When the threaded sleeve 21 moves, the spring 23 drives the first control block 19 to move. The first control block 19 is connected to the inner ring of the brake disc body 29 through multiple sets of expansion components. The spring 23 provides a certain buffer at the connection between the expansion plate 16 and the inner ring of the brake disc body 29, avoiding excessive rigidity that could damage the inner ring of the brake disc body 29.

[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a fourth motor 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 10, and the output end of the fourth motor 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw 20. When the fourth motor 11 is running, it drives the screw 20 to rotate inside the threaded sleeve 21.

[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, multiple support rods 9 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 10, and rotating blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the multiple support rods 9. The rotating blocks 7 are rotatably connected to the robotic arm mechanism. The support rods 9 serve to connect the mounting plate 10 and the rotating blocks 7.

[0041] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an adjusting head 6 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating block 7, and a third motor 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting head 6. The output end of the third motor 8 movably passes through the adjusting head 6 and is fixed to the surface of the rotating block 7. The rotating block 7 rotates inside the adjusting head 6, which is connected to the robotic arm mechanism. When the third motor 8 is running, it drives the rotating block 7 connected to its output end to rotate, indirectly controlling the position of the expansion assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly, facilitating the connection of the expansion assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly to the brake disc body 29.

[0042] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the robotic arm mechanism includes a first rotating arm 4, a second motor 5, a rotating base 3, and a first motor 2. The rotating base 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the base 1. The first motor 2 is fixedly connected inside the base 1, and the output end of the first motor 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating base 3. The first rotating arm 4 is rotatably connected inside the rotating base 3, and one end of the first rotating arm 4 is fixedly connected to the adjusting head 6. The second motor 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating base 3, and the output end of the second motor 5 movably passes through the rotating base 3 and is fixed to the surface of the first rotating arm 4.

[0043] The robotic arm mechanism is used to indirectly control the position of the expansion assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly, so that the expansion assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly can be connected to the brake disc from different angles, which facilitates the handling of the brake disc; the first motor 2 in the robotic arm mechanism drives the rotating seat 3 connected to its output end to rotate when it is running, and the second motor 5 drives the first rotating arm 4 to rotate in the rotating seat 3 when it is running, and the first rotating arm 4 drives the adjusting head 6 to move.

[0044] It should be noted that the first motor 2, the second motor 5, the third motor 8, and the fourth motor 11 used in this device are all existing technologies. The specific model of the first motor 2, the second motor 5, the third motor 8, and the fourth motor 11 can be selected according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0045] In use, the device first places the base 1 on the ground. The robotic arm mechanism indirectly moves the drive ring block 13 to the inner ring position of the brake disc body 29 to be moved. The fourth motor 11 is then controlled to operate, and its output drives the screw 20 to rotate. As the screw 20 rotates, it causes the threaded sleeve 21 to slide within the limiting block 28. The sliding of the threaded sleeve 21 drives the expansion assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly. The expansion plate 16 contacts the inner ring of the brake disc body 29, and the snap-fit ​​plate 26 extends from the sliding groove 27. Multiple snap-fit ​​plates 26 cooperate to snap the brake disc body 29. Then, the brake disc is moved to the target position by controlling the robotic arm mechanism. By using this device, when the drive ring block 13 extends into the brake disc body 29, the second control block 24 indirectly drives multiple snap-fit ​​plates 26 to slide out from the slide groove hole 27. The multiple snap-fit ​​plates 26 cooperate to prevent the brake disc body 29 from detaching from the surface of the drive ring block 13. At this time, the robotic arm mechanism operates, indirectly driving the brake disc to move, thereby realizing the handling of the brake disc. Through this connection method, damage caused by the contact between the fork forks and other mechanical mechanisms and the surface of the brake disc during handling is effectively avoided, and the use of the brake disc will not be affected.

[0046] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
