Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arm technology, and more specifically, to an automated conveyor line equipped with a horizontally moving robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] An automated conveyor line equipped with a lateral-traveling robotic arm is an automated system that integrates material conveying and precise pick-and-place functions. It uses a linear track as its movement path (lateral travel), on which a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm is mounted. This enables long-distance, multi-station material transfer, operation, and precise positioning within a fixed direction. However, existing robotic arm conveyor lines often require changes to the track length during movement. Such changes necessitate non-standard customization, on-site cutting and welding, or the use of complex connectors for alignment, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to guarantee accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automated conveyor line equipped with a horizontally moving robotic arm, which has the advantage of rapid docking.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated conveyor line equipped with a horizontally moving robotic arm, including a bottom support, a horizontal arm fixedly installed above the bottom support, a first sliding groove inside the horizontal arm, a first slider slidably connected inside the first sliding groove, a vertical arm fixedly installed above the first slider, a second sliding groove inside the horizontal arm, a second slider slidably connected inside the second sliding groove, an extension block fixedly installed inside the second slider; a locking block fixedly installed in front of the horizontal arm, a fixing plate fixedly installed in front of the extension block, a telescopic rod fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate near the locking block, a spring sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod, a buckle fixedly installed on the end of the spring away from the fixing plate, and the buckle engaging with the locking block.

[0005] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: When it is necessary to extend the horizontal arm to maintain a sufficient conveying distance, the left and right ends of the horizontal arm are first disassembled. Then, the extension block is installed through the sliding connection between the second slider and the second slide groove, so that the extension block is connected in the middle of the horizontal arm. This allows the horizontal arm to be extended according to the installation of an extension block of appropriate length, thereby achieving the effect of quickly increasing the length of the horizontal arm.

[0006] After the extension block is installed through the sliding connection between the second slider and the second groove, the extension block will remain horizontal with the horizontal arm. Before installation, press the buckle towards the fixing plate. After alignment, release the buckle so that the spring is squeezed into the inside of the buckle by the spring force, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​effect and keeping the extension block fixed after installation.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the longitudinal arm is slidably connected to a third sliding groove, the third sliding groove is slidably connected to a third slider, and a connecting arm is fixedly installed above the third slider.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the connecting arm slides inside the third slide groove through the third slider, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting arm above the longitudinal arm and achieving the effect of longitudinal displacement and transportation.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting arm has a fourth sliding groove inside, a fourth slider is slidably connected inside the fourth sliding groove, and a connecting component is fixedly installed in front of the fourth slider.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a storage compartment is fixedly installed above the longitudinal arm, a first motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the storage compartment, a first motor is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor, a connecting wire is wound around the first motor, the end of the connecting wire away from the first motor is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly, a guide ring is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting arm, and the connecting wire is slidably connected to the guide ring.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: When the connecting arm drives the connecting component to move at multiple angles, the device needs to use connecting lines to control it during operation. In order to maintain smooth movement, excess connecting lines are often used to prevent the connecting lines from being pulled during the movement of the connecting arm. However, excess connecting lines are prone to dragging and rubbing on the ground, which can damage the circuit insulation. At this time, during the movement of the connecting arm, the first motor is started to drive the connecting lines to rotate, so that the winding drum can release the line in time and collect the connecting lines in time, so that the connecting lines are always kept in a slightly taut state. Thus, when the connecting arm moves, it can prevent the line from being pulled while preventing the line from rubbing on the ground and causing damage to the insulation.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting plate is fixedly installed above the transverse arm, a second motor is fixedly installed on the right side of the connecting plate, and a lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor, the lead screw engaging with the longitudinal arm.

[0013] The second motor is started to drive the lead screw to rotate, so that the lead screw meshes with the bottom of the longitudinal arm. This causes the lead screw to drive the longitudinal arm to move laterally through the sliding connection between the first slider and the first groove, so that the longitudinal arm can drive the connecting arm to move.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two first sliding grooves and two first sliders, and both first sliding grooves and two first sliders are located inside the bottom support and extension block.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the two first sliders are slidably connected to the two first slide grooves respectively, thereby making the longitudinal arm stable during the driving process.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the guide ring has a groove-shaped interior and is located above the connecting assembly.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the main function of the guide ring is to slide and limit the connecting line, so that the connecting line maintains the effect of technical transmission when it is pulled. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an automated conveyor line with a horizontally moving robotic arm, including a bottom support 1, a horizontal arm 2 fixedly installed above the bottom support 1, a first slide groove 3 opened inside the horizontal arm 2, a first slider 4 slidably connected inside the first slide groove 3, a vertical arm 5 fixedly installed above the first slider 4, a second slide groove 6 opened inside the horizontal arm 2, a second slider 7 slidably connected inside the second slide groove 6, and an extension block 8 fixedly installed on the inner side of the second slider 7.

[0022] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: When it is necessary to extend the transverse arm 2 to maintain a sufficient conveying distance, the left and right ends of the transverse arm 2 are first disassembled. Then, the extension block 8 is installed through the sliding connection between the second slider 7 and the second slide groove 6, so that the extension block 8 is connected in the middle of the transverse arm 2, thereby extending the transverse arm 2 according to the extension block 8 of appropriate length, thus achieving the effect of quickly increasing the length of the transverse arm 2.

[0023] Among them, a locking block 9 is fixedly installed in front of the transverse arm 2, a fixing plate 10 is fixedly installed in front of the extension block 8, a telescopic rod 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate 10 near the locking block 9, a spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 11, and a buckle 13 is fixedly installed on the end of the spring 12 away from the fixing plate 10, and the buckle 13 is engaged with the locking block 9.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: When the extension block 8 is installed through the sliding connection between the second slider 7 and the second slide groove 6, the extension block 8 will be in a horizontal state with the transverse arm 2. Before installation, the buckle 13 is pressed towards the fixing plate 10. After docking, the buckle 13 is released, so that the buckle 13, through the elastic force of the spring 12, squeezes the spring 12 into the inside of the buckle block 9, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​effect, so that the extension block 8 has a fixed effect after installation.

[0025] The longitudinal arm 5 is internally slidably connected to a third slide groove 14, and internally connected to a third slider 15. A connecting arm 16 is fixedly installed above the third slider 15.

[0026] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the connecting arm 16 is slidably connected inside the third slide groove 14 through the third slider 15, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting arm 16 above the longitudinal arm 5 to achieve the effect of longitudinal displacement and transportation.

[0027] The connecting arm 16 has a fourth sliding groove 17 inside, and a fourth slider 18 is slidably connected inside the fourth sliding groove 17. A connecting component 19 is fixedly installed in front of the fourth slider 18.

[0028] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the connecting component 19 is displaced by the sliding connection between the fourth slider 18 and the fourth slide groove 17, so that after the connecting component 19 is fixed with the external clamping mechanism, the height of the item can be adjusted.

[0029] Among them, a storage compartment 20 is fixedly installed above the longitudinal arm 5, a first motor 21 is fixedly installed on the left side of the storage compartment 20, a first motor 21 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 21, a connecting wire 23 is wound around the first motor 21, and the end of the connecting wire 23 away from the first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting component 19. A guide ring 24 is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting arm 16, and the connecting wire 23 is slidably connected to the guide ring 24.

[0030] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: When the connecting arm 16 drives the connecting component 19 to perform multi-angle displacement, the device needs to use the connecting line 23 to control it during operation. In order to maintain the smoothness of movement, it is often necessary to use an excess of the connecting line 23 to prevent the connecting line 23 from being pulled during the movement of the connecting arm 16. However, the excess connecting line 23 is prone to dragging and rubbing on the ground, which can cause damage to the circuit insulation. At this time, during the movement of the connecting arm 16, the first motor 21 is started to drive the connecting line 23 to rotate, so that the winding drum 22 can release the line in time and retract the connecting line 23 in time, so that the connecting line 23 is always kept in a slightly taut state. Thus, when the connecting arm 16 moves, it can prevent the line from being pulled and prevent the line from rubbing on the ground, which could cause damage to the insulation.

[0031] A connecting plate 25 is fixedly installed above the transverse arm 2, a second motor 26 is fixedly installed on the right side of the connecting plate 25, and a lead screw 27 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 26. The lead screw 27 meshes with the longitudinal arm 5.

[0032] The second motor 26 is started to drive the lead screw 27 to rotate, so that the lead screw 27 meshes with the bottom of the longitudinal arm 5, thereby causing the lead screw 27 to drive the longitudinal arm 5 to move laterally through the sliding connection between the first slider 4 and the first slide groove 3, so that the longitudinal arm 5 has the effect of driving the connecting arm 16 to move.

[0033] There are two first slide grooves 3 and two first sliders 4, and both first slide grooves 3 and two first sliders 4 are located inside the bottom support 1 and the extension block 8.

[0034] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the two first sliders 4 are slidably connected to the two first slide grooves 3 respectively, thereby making the longitudinal arm 5 stable during the driving process.

[0035] The guide ring 24 has a groove inside and is located above the connecting assembly 19.

[0036] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the main function of the guide ring 24 is to slide and limit the connecting line 23, so that the connecting line 23 maintains the effect of technical transmission when it is pulled.

[0037] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: Firstly, a first slider 4 is slidably connected inside the first slide groove 3. A longitudinal arm 5 is fixedly installed above the first slider 4. A second slide groove 6 is opened inside the transverse arm 2. A second slider 7 is slidably connected inside the second slide groove 6. An extension block 8 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the second slider 7. When it is necessary to extend the transverse arm 2 to maintain a sufficient conveying distance, the left and right ends of the transverse arm 2 are first disassembled. Then, the extension block 8 is installed through the sliding connection between the second slider 7 and the second slide groove 6, so that the extension block 8 is connected in the middle of the transverse arm 2. Thus, the transverse arm 2 is extended according to the installation of the extension block 8 of appropriate length, thereby achieving the effect of quickly increasing the length of the transverse arm 2. Secondly, after the extension block 8 is installed through the sliding connection between the second slider 7 and the second slide groove 6, the extension block 8 will remain horizontal with the horizontal arm 2. Before installation, the buckle 13 is pressed towards the fixing plate 10. After docking, the buckle 13 is released, so that the buckle 13, through the elastic force of the spring 12, squeezes the spring 12 into the inside of the buckle block 9, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​effect, so that the extension block 8 has the effect of being fixed after installation. Finally, a connecting wire 23 is wound around the first motor 21, and the end of the connecting wire 23 away from the first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 19. A guide ring 24 is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting arm 16, and the connecting wire 23 is slidably connected to the guide ring 24. When the connecting arm 16 drives the connecting assembly 19 to move at multiple angles, the connecting wire 23 is used to control the device during operation. In order to maintain smooth movement, excess connecting wire 23 is often used to prevent the connecting wire 23 from being pulled during the movement of the connecting arm 16. However, excess connecting wire 23 is prone to dragging and friction on the ground, which can damage the circuit insulation. At this time, during the movement of the connecting arm 16, the first motor 21 is started to drive the connecting wire 23 to rotate, so that the winding drum 22 can release the wire in time and collect the connecting wire 23 in time, so that the connecting wire 23 is always kept in a slightly taut state. Thus, when the connecting arm 16 moves, it can prevent the wire from being pulled and prevent the wire from rubbing on the ground, which could damage the insulation.
