Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insertion machine technology, and in particular relates to a material handling gripper device that can be quickly and easily replaced. Background Technology

[0002] As fully automated testing of electronic components becomes increasingly sophisticated, intelligent equipment is gradually replacing manual labor. From manual to automated production, the industry's requirements for the precision of automated equipment are gradually increasing, and the demands for product quality are also rising. As is well known, grippers are common components of automated equipment, used to handle materials. However, in the specific production process, different products require different specifications of grippers, necessitating the replacement of grippers.

[0003] However, most existing non-standard insert machines already have interchangeable gripper mechanisms, but they generally have drawbacks such as large size and inconvenience of use. Due to insufficient understanding of the characteristics of the processed materials and the processing technology, the tolerance of the design drawings cannot be accurately grasped, and the products produced generally have problems such as air leakage, movement, and falling. Moreover, it is inconvenient and cumbersome to replace the material-picking grippers during use. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a material gripper device that can be quickly and easily replaced to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a quick and convenient replaceable material gripper device, comprising an adapter part and a gripping part, wherein the gripping part is detachably connected to the adapter part, the gripping part includes a suction nozzle, a gripping air clamp body and two gripping components, the suction nozzle is installed on the top of the gripping air clamp body for connection with the adapter part, the gripping air clamp body is provided with two gripping ends, and the two gripping components are connected to the two gripping ends of the gripping air clamp body.

[0006] Furthermore, the adapter includes a connecting nozzle, a spring, a fixing plate, an outer cover, and three steel balls. The fixing plate is horizontally fixed to the upper part of the connecting nozzle. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting nozzle, with its top connected to the bottom of the fixing plate and its bottom connected to the outer cover. The outer cover is slidably fitted to the lower part of the connecting nozzle, and the bottom of the outer cover has a notch. The three steel balls are rotatably distributed at equal intervals in the lower part of the connecting nozzle. The connecting nozzle has placement holes for placing the steel balls, and the outer cover has a stepped platform inside. The steel balls rotate within the stepped platform to control their movement within the connecting nozzle.

[0007] Furthermore, the suction nozzle is provided with an annular V-groove. When the suction nozzle is fixed, three steel balls are stuck in the V-groove to connect the suction nozzle to the inside of the connecting tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the suction nozzle is provided with a pin that mates with the notch.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the connection point between the connecting nozzle and the suction nozzle.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping component includes two gripping claws.

[0011] Furthermore, the two grippers are provided with various types of shapes.

[0012] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0013] Firstly, this utility model device is used for quick replacement of material grippers or nozzles in standard equipment such as insertion machines; it solves the problem of using grippers or nozzles that match different materials to pick up and put in materials, and achieves this by using a unified host-side component and gripper-side component with precise cooperation, so that no parameter adjustment is required after replacement; compared with similar structures in the industry, it is simple, compact, convenient, versatile, leak-proof and highly accurate.

[0014] Secondly, this utility model allows for quick and convenient replacement of the material grippers, making operation easy. No tools (such as wrenches or screwdrivers) are required; the grippers can be disassembled and assembled simply by manually pushing and pulling the outer cover. Each step takes very little time, making it suitable for scenarios in production lines where different types of grippers are frequently changed (e.g., when gripping materials of different sizes and shapes). It also offers strong connection stability; three equally spaced steel balls form a "three-point lock," which, combined with the continuous elasticity of the spring, evenly transmits clamping force, ensuring that the grippers will not loosen or fall off during operation (e.g., during high-speed movement or gripping heavy objects), thus improving operational safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the technical solution of a material handling gripper device that can be quickly and easily replaced according to various embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a quick and easy replaceable material gripper device, including an adapter part 1 and a gripping part 2. The gripping part 2 is detachably connected to the adapter part 1. The gripping part 2 includes a suction nozzle 21, a gripping air clamp body 22, and two gripping components 23. The suction nozzle 21 is installed on the top of the gripping air clamp body 22 for connection with the adapter part 1. The gripping air clamp body 22 has two gripping ends 221, and the two gripping components 23 are connected to the two gripping ends 221 of the gripping air clamp body 22.

[0026] It should be noted that when changing to a different type of material gripper 231, the entire gripping part 2 is replaced so that the gripping part 2 can be connected to the adapter part 1.

[0027] Specifically, the adapter part 1 includes a connecting nozzle 11, a spring 12, a fixing plate 13, an outer cover 14, and three steel balls 15. The fixing plate 13 is horizontally fixedly connected to the upper part of the connecting nozzle 11. The spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting nozzle 11. The top of the spring 12 is connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 13, and the bottom of the spring 12 is connected to the outer cover 14. The outer cover 14 is slidably engaged with the lower part of the connecting nozzle 11. The bottom of the outer cover 14 is provided with a notch 16. The three steel balls 15 are rotatably distributed at equal intervals in the lower part of the connecting nozzle 11. The connecting nozzle 11 is provided with a placement hole 18 for placing the steel balls 15. The outer cover 14 is provided with a stepped platform 17 inside. The steel balls 15 rotate within the stepped platform 17 to control the movement of the steel balls 15 within the connecting nozzle 11.

[0028] Locked state (when the material handling gripper 231 is connected):

[0029] Under the elastic force of the spring 12, the outer cover 14 is in a naturally drooping position. At this time, the stepped platform 17 inside the outer cover 14 (which can be understood as a "tightening structure") squeezes the three steel balls 15 toward the center of the connecting nozzle 11.

[0030] The steel ball 15 is partially embedded in the inner wall of the connecting nozzle 11. When the suction nozzle 21 of the clamping part 2 is inserted into the connecting nozzle 11, the steel ball 15 will be stuck in the V groove 211 of the suction nozzle 21, forming a mechanical lock to ensure that the material picking claw 231 is firmly connected to the adapter part 1.

[0031] Released state (when replacing the material gripper 231):

[0032] Manually push the outer cover 14 upwards. The outer cover 14 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 12 and slides upwards along the connecting nozzle 11. At this time, the position of the stepped platform 17 inside the outer cover 14 moves upwards, and the "tightening area" that originally squeezed the steel ball 15 is released, allowing the steel ball 15 to slide to the outside of the connecting nozzle 11.

[0033] The steel ball 15 disengages from the V groove 211 of the suction nozzle 21, and the material picker 231 loses its lock, allowing it to be easily pulled out of the connecting nozzle 11, thus completing the disassembly. After replacing the new material picker 231, the outer cover 14 is released, the spring 12 pushes the outer cover 14 to reset, and the steel ball 15 locks the new material picker 231 again, thus completing the installation.

[0034] Specifically, the suction nozzle 21 is provided with an annular V-groove 211. When the suction nozzle 21 is fixed, three steel balls 15 are inserted into the V-groove 211 to connect the suction nozzle 21 to the inside of the connecting pipe nozzle 11. The spring 12 opens and presses down the outer cover 14 to lock the steel balls 15 into the V-groove 211 of the suction nozzle 21. When it is necessary to replace the material picking claw 231 assembly, the outer cover 14 is moved up by hand, the steel balls 15 are expanded outward, and the material picking claw 231 assembly is easily removed.

[0035] The suction nozzle 21 is provided with a pin 3 that mates with the notch 16. When the suction nozzle 21 mates with the connecting nozzle 11, the pin 3 engages with the inside of the notch 16, which can achieve mutual alignment between the suction nozzle 21 and the connecting nozzle 11, and achieve precise docking between the suction nozzle 21 and the connecting nozzle 11 without affecting the accuracy of docking or the gripping of parts.

[0036] This utility model allows for quick and convenient replacement of the material gripper 231, with easy operation. No tools (such as wrenches or screwdrivers) are required; the gripper 231 can be disassembled and assembled simply by manually pushing and pulling the outer cover 14. The single-step operation is extremely time-efficient, making it suitable for scenarios in production lines where different types of grippers 231 are frequently changed (e.g., when gripping materials of different sizes and shapes). It also offers strong connection stability; three equally spaced steel balls 15 form a "three-point lock," which, combined with the continuous elasticity of the spring 12, evenly transmits clamping force, ensuring that the gripper 231 will not loosen or fall off during operation (e.g., during high-speed movement or gripping heavy objects), thus improving operational safety.

[0037] Specifically, the clamping component 23 is connected to the clamping end 221 by screws; when the material clamping claw 231 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the screws can be loosened to remove the clamping component 23 from the clamping end 221 and replace the clamping component 23.

[0038] Specifically, a sealing ring 4 is provided at the connection between the connecting nozzle 11 and the suction nozzle 21; when the connecting nozzle 11 and the suction nozzle 21 are connected, the sealing ring 4 can seal to prevent gas from overflowing from the connecting nozzle 11 and the suction nozzle 21, which would affect the stability of the air pressure and thus affect the gripping of parts.

[0039] Specifically, the clamping component 23 includes two gripping jaws 231. The two gripping jaws 231 can clamp the part by bringing them close together.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the two gripping jaws 231 have various shapes; the insertion machine is equipped with a gripping jaw library consisting of eight different shapes. In actual operation, the equipment can automatically or manually select the appropriate gripping jaw 231 to operate according to the differences in the type of parts to be processed, thereby achieving precise gripping and processing of various parts.

[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
