Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation technology, and more specifically, to a transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] As a core piece of equipment in modern industrial automation, transfer devices are widely used in manufacturing, logistics, new energy and other fields. Equipping factories with transfer devices can significantly improve production efficiency and assembly quality, reduce manual operations, and achieve continuous production on the production line. It is one of the indispensable and important pieces of equipment in modern industrial production. In the automated machining process of many products, the application of material handling robots is very widespread. Their main functions are to clamp the workpiece, place it in the processing position, and remove the workpiece after processing. They can perfectly replace manual operations, which not only significantly improves production efficiency, but also ensures a high degree of production safety.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, traditional transfer equipment mostly relies on mechanical transmission systems such as gears, chains, and synchronous belts. These systems are complex and bulky, resulting in limited dynamic response speeds and making it difficult to meet the demands of high-speed continuous production. At the same time, troubleshooting traditional equipment relies on manual experience, leading to long downtimes and high maintenance costs. The high cost of transfer equipment due to its precision hydraulic system and complex mechanical structure limits its adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a power system maintenance device and maintenance method to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A transfer device includes a gantry as a supporting component; an X-axis moving assembly mounted on the crossbeam of the gantry; a Z-axis moving assembly connected to the X-axis moving assembly; a gripper mounting plate connected to the Z-axis moving assembly; and two symmetrically arranged clamping assemblies mounted on the Z-axis moving assembly. The clamping assemblies are used to clamp products. The device features enhanced structural stability through gantry diagonal bracing, high-precision three-dimensional positioning through X-axis and Z-axis linkage, improved versatility through multi-finger clamping components, and modular design and environmental adaptability optimization. In industrial automation scenarios, this device significantly improves transfer efficiency, clamping reliability, and equipment lifespan.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a support plate, a rotating shaft, a clamping cylinder, and a clamping claw. The support plate is connected to the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is connected to the Z-axis moving assembly, the clamping cylinder is mounted on the support plate, the clamping cylinder is connected to the rotating shaft and drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the clamping claw is connected to the bottom of the support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the gripper hand includes two symmetrically distributed grippers that can move in the same direction, and the grippers are equipped with multiple gripping fingers.

[0009] Furthermore, the X-axis moving assembly includes an X-axis rack, an X-axis slide plate, an X-axis drive motor, and an X-axis drive gear. The gantry is equipped with two parallel X-axis guide rails, which are parallel to the X-axis rack. The X-axis slide plate is slidably connected to the X-axis guide rails. The X-axis drive motor is mounted on the X-axis slide plate and is connected to the X-axis drive gear. The X-axis drive gear meshes with the X-axis rack.

[0010] Furthermore, the X-axis guide rail is equipped with an X-axis slider, the X-axis slide plate is connected to the X-axis slider, and the X-axis slider and the X-axis guide rail are slidably connected.

[0011] Furthermore, the Z-axis moving assembly includes a Z-axis drive motor, a Z-axis rack, a Z-axis frame, and a Z-axis drive gear. The Z-axis drive motor is mounted on the X-axis slide plate, and the Z-axis drive motor and the Z-axis drive gear are connected. The Z-axis drive gear meshes with the Z-axis rack. The Z-axis rack is set on the Z-axis frame, and the Z-axis frame and the X-axis slide plate are slidably connected.

[0012] Furthermore, the Z-axis frame is equipped with a Z-axis guide rail and a Z-axis slider, which are slidably connected.

[0013] Furthermore, diagonal bracing is installed between the gantry and the ground, and between the gantry and the crossbeam. This diagonal bracing, through its triangular structure, distributes external loads and reduces horizontal bending or torsional deformation of the gantry.

[0014] Furthermore, the clamping components include multiple clamping assemblies arranged along a direction perpendicular to the product axis.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In practical use, the X-axis and Z-axis moving components of this invention form a coordinated motion system through a sliding connection, supporting synchronous adjustment of workpieces in both horizontal and vertical directions. This significantly improves the degree of freedom of the transfer device. During X-axis movement, the Z-axis can adjust its height in real time to accommodate workpiece pallets of different heights. When the Z-axis is raised or lowered, the X-axis can shift laterally to avoid obstacles or achieve workpiece sorting. This linkage design enables the device to adapt to the handling needs of irregular workpieces, making it particularly suitable for automated production lines for automotive parts.

[0017] 2. In practical use, the clamping assembly of this invention, through the linkage design of two symmetrically arranged clamping components and the Z-axis moving component, can achieve a uniform distribution of clamping force, avoiding product tilting or slippage due to unilateral force. It is especially suitable for clamping precision workpieces or easily deformable materials.

[0018] 3. In actual use, the gripper of this utility model consists of multiple gripping fingers, and the grippers can move in the same direction. By adjusting the spacing between the gripping fingers or the gripping angle, it can be adapted to workpieces of various sizes and shapes, significantly improving the versatility of the device.

[0019] 4. In practical use, the clamping cylinder drives the support plate to rotate through the rotating shaft. Combined with the vertical displacement function of the Z-axis moving component, it can realize the compound motion of translation and rotation of the clamping claw in three-dimensional space, thereby accurately controlling the clamping position and posture to meet the needs of high-precision assembly or handling.
