Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical parts processing technology, specifically a dual-station collaborative robot workstation. Background Technology
[0002] In current automated machining equipment, some repetitive processes that do not require high skill levels are replaced by automated equipment, such as the storage, unloading, and feeding of materials in production. Humans used to simply place the products into the storage components. To improve production efficiency and reduce the workload of workers, robots have been introduced for collaborative handling.
[0003] A search revealed that patent CN221159520U discloses a dual-station collaborative robot workstation, comprising a machine base and a dual-station material platform and a collaborative robot mounted on the machine base. The collaborative robot is configured in conjunction with the dual-station material platform. The dual-station material platform includes a material platform 1, a material platform 2, and four slide rails. The four slide rails are arranged in pairs, with the spacing between the two middle slide rails matching the width of material platform 1, and the spacing between the two outer slide rails matching the width of material platform 2. The lower ends of both ends of material platform 1 are respectively connected to the two middle slide rails, and the lower ends of both ends of material platform 2 are respectively connected to the two outer slide rails. A drive mechanism is provided between material platform 1 and material platform 2, enabling material platform 1 and material platform 2 to move separately and alternately. This utility model can take over simple and repetitive tasks, while improving output and quality, freeing operators to do more valuable work.
[0004] Based on the aforementioned existing technology, although material platform one and material platform two move separately and alternately, the height difference between the two material platforms is a fixed value. Therefore, it can only accommodate parts of a certain height, and cannot properly load larger parts, thus reducing its practicality. Furthermore, it is not convenient to disassemble and replace components. To address these issues, we provide a dual-station collaborative robot workstation. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a dual-station collaborative robot workstation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dual-station collaborative robot workstation, comprising a frame and a collaborative robot. A motor is mounted on the frame, and a swing frame is detachably connected to the output end of the motor. Both ends of the swing frame are provided with mounting slots, and guide seats are fixedly connected to the middle of the two mounting slots. A material platform is provided on each guide seat, and a snap-fit mechanism is provided on the bottom surface of the two material platforms. The material platforms are snapped into the corresponding mounting slots through the snap-fit mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a cross plate, and the bottom surface of the swing frame is provided with a cross groove that matches the cross plate, and the swing frame is inserted into the cross plate through the cross groove.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the cross plate has an internal threaded hole, the middle of the swing frame has a T-shaped insert rod, the bottom of the T-shaped insert rod has an external thread, and the bottom of the T-shaped insert rod extends into the cross groove and is threaded to the top of the cross plate.
[0009] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes two opposing L-shaped locking plates, the bottom ends of which are slidably locked onto the bottom surface of the guide seat. Two opposing sets of guide rods are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the material platform. The two L-shaped locking plates are slidably sleeved on the two sets of guide rods respectively. A compression spring is sleeved on the surface of each set of guide rods, and the two ends of the compression spring are fixedly connected to the surface of the L-shaped locking plate and one end of each set of guide rods respectively. A pull rod is fixedly connected to the side of each L-shaped locking plate that is far apart from each other. A pull plate is fixedly connected to one end of each pull rod, and the pull plate slides on the bottom surface of the material platform.
[0010] Preferably, a guide frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the material platform, and the guide frame is sleeved on the guide seat.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the swing frame is inlaid with two opposing universal balls, and the universal balls slide on the frame.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention, through the coordinated arrangement of a motor, a swing frame, a mounting slot, a guide seat, a material platform, and a locking mechanism, allows the swing frame to rotate 180° using only the motor, thereby changing the position of the two material platforms on the swing frame. Furthermore, the swing frame and the two material platforms are designed for easy disassembly and maintenance. When the two material platforms need to be removed from the swing frame, simply pull the two pull plates outwards, thereby separating the two L-shaped locking plates from each other. This disengages the L-shaped locking plates from the guide seat, allowing the material platforms to be lifted directly off the swing frame. This faster operation facilitates the replacement of material platforms, enabling the replacement of material platforms for different workpiece specifications and improving the flexibility of the device.

[0015] 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.
[0016] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment proposes a dual-station collaborative robot workstation, including a frame 1 and a collaborative robot 2. A motor 7, a servo motor, is mounted on the frame 1. A swing frame 3 is detachably connected to the output end of the motor 7. Both ends of the swing frame 3 have mounting slots 8, and guide seats 9 are fixedly connected to the middle of each mounting slot 8. A material platform 5 is mounted on each guide seat 9. A snap-fit mechanism is provided on the bottom surface of each material platform 5, and the material platform 5 is snapped into the corresponding mounting slot 8 through the snap-fit mechanism. With the above structure, the operating energy of the motor 7 can be utilized... The device can rotate the swing frame 3 180°, thereby changing the position of the two material tables 5 on the swing frame 3. This eliminates concerns about the height of the parts on the material tables 5, making it suitable for processing workpieces of different heights. In addition, the swing frame 3 and the two material tables 5 are designed for easy disassembly and maintenance on the frame 1, allowing personnel to easily remove and replace the parts that need maintenance, thus improving the flexibility of the device. The machinery, parts and equipment in this device all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.
[0017] like Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, a cross plate 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. A cross groove 10 adapted to the cross plate 17 is opened in the middle of the bottom surface of the swing frame 3. The swing frame 3 is inserted into the cross plate 17 through the cross groove 10. With the above structure, the swing frame 3 can be easily disassembled and maintained on the motor 7. The installation of the swing frame 3 is also more convenient. The operation of the motor 7 drives the cross plate 17 to rotate, thereby driving the swing frame 3 to rotate.
[0018] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the top of the cross plate 17 has an internal threaded hole, and a T-shaped insert 4 is inserted through the middle of the swing frame 3. The bottom of the T-shaped insert 4 has an external thread. The bottom of the T-shaped insert 4 extends into the cross groove 10 and is threaded to the top of the cross plate 17. With the above structure, the connection between the swing frame 3 and the motor 7 is guaranteed to be stable, preventing the swing frame 3 from falling off the motor 7 at will. The T-shaped insert 4 improves the stability between the swing frame 3 and the cross plate 17. When it is necessary to remove the swing frame 3 from the motor 7, simply rotate the T-shaped insert 4 and pull the bottom of the T-shaped insert 4 out from the top of the motor 7. Then, the personnel can directly remove the swing frame 3 from the motor 7.
[0019] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the locking mechanism includes two opposing L-shaped locking plates 12. The bottom ends of both L-shaped locking plates 12 are slidably locked onto the bottom surface of the guide seat 9. Two opposing sets of guide rods 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the material platform 5. The two L-shaped locking plates 12 are slidably sleeved on the two sets of guide rods 14 respectively. Compression springs 15 are sleeved on the surface of each set of guide rods 14, and the two ends of the compression springs 15 are fixedly connected to the surface of the L-shaped locking plates 12 and one end of each set of guide rods 14 respectively. Pull rods 13 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two L-shaped locking plates 12 that are far apart from each other. Pull plates 6 are fixedly connected to one end of each pull rod 13, and pull plates 6 slide on the bottom surface of the material platform 5. With the above structure, the material platform 5 can be directly placed on the swing frame 3, thereby automatically... The material platform 5 is quickly fixed to facilitate its installation. Specifically, the material platform 5 is placed face down on the swing frame 3, allowing the bottom ends of the two L-shaped clamping plates 12 to first contact the upper surface of the guide seat 9 and slide to both sides until the bottom ends of the L-shaped clamping plates 12 are engaged with the bottom surface of the guide seat 9, thus quickly fixing the material platform 5. When the material platform 5 needs to be removed from the swing frame 3, simply pull the two pulling plates 6 outwards to separate the two L-shaped clamping plates 12 from the guide seat 9. Finally, the material platform 5 can be lifted directly off the swing frame 3. This operation is faster and facilitates the replacement of the material platform 5.
[0020] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a guide frame 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the material platform 5, and the guide frame 16 is sleeved on the guide seat 9. With the cooperation of the guide frame 16 and the guide seat 9, the material platform 5 can be accurately and quickly positioned on the swing frame 3, so that personnel do not need to frequently position and install the material platform 5, thus ensuring the stability of the material platform 5 during use.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom surface of the swing frame 3 is inlaid with two opposing universal balls 11, and the universal balls 11 slide on the frame 1. The setting of the universal balls 11 ensures the rotational stability of the swing frame 3 on the frame 1 and prevents the two ends of the swing frame 3 from tilting, thereby ensuring the stability of the material platform 5 on the swing frame 3, so that the swing frame 3 can rotate stably under the drive of the motor 7.
[0022] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, personnel on one side of the frame 1 are responsible for loading and unloading the processed workpieces, while the collaborative robot 2 is used for loading and unloading the workpieces for subsequent machine tool processing. During this process, there is no need to worry about the height of the workpieces placed on the worktables 5, as they can be flexibly adapted to the workpiece height. When the two worktables 5 need to be switched, the motor 7 is used to drive the swing frame 3 to rotate 180°, thereby switching the positions of the two worktables 5 on the swing frame 3. In addition, the swing frame 3 and the two worktables 5 on the frame 1 are easy to disassemble and maintain. When the two worktables 5 need to be removed from the swing frame 3 for replacement, simply pull the two pulling plates 6 outwards, thereby pulling the two L-shaped clamping plates 12 apart, which can disengage the L-shaped clamping plates 12 from the guide seat 9, and directly lift the worktables 5 off the swing frame 3. The operation is faster and easier to replace the worktables 5, so as to replace the corresponding worktables 5 for different specifications of workpieces, thereby improving the flexibility of the device.
