Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator manufacturing technology, and in particular to a handling robot with a clamping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Various types of fixtures are devices used in mechanical manufacturing to fix workpieces in the correct position for operation or inspection; they are also called clamps. In a broader sense, any device used to quickly, conveniently, and safely install workpieces at any stage of the manufacturing process can be considered a fixture.

[0003] Currently, the handling of refrigerators in refrigerator production mainly relies on manual labor, which is labor-intensive, costly, and poses safety hazards. Therefore, a refrigerator clamp that can be installed on forklifts or robots is needed to achieve mechanical clamping and handling of refrigerators. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a handling robot with a clamping mechanism, which facilitates the automatic clamping and handling of refrigerators by the robot, improves refrigerator production efficiency, reduces labor costs incurred by workers in handling refrigerators, and avoids safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a handling robot with a clamping mechanism, comprising a profile support, a clamping body, and an anti-detachment component; the clamping body includes two movable clamping plates connected to the profile support, the two movable clamping plates being able to move towards or away from each other along the profile support, a plurality of vacuum suction cups being provided on the opposite side of the two movable clamping plates, and an anti-detachment component being provided on the opposite side of the two movable clamping plates respectively, the anti-detachment component including a vertically detachable drive cylinder and an anti-detachment hook mounted on the movable clamping plate, the anti-detachment hook being hinged to the bottom of the movable clamping plate via a connecting hinge, the drive end of the drive cylinder being hinged to the back of the anti-detachment hook via a hinge seat, when the drive end of the drive cylinder extends, the anti-detachment hook being able to rotate toward the direction of the clamped refrigerator, so as to support the refrigerator from the bottom.

[0006] Furthermore, a sliding rail is provided on the lower surface of the profile support along its length, and the tops of the two movable clamping plates are slidably connected to the profile support via sliding sliders. The sliding rail guides the movement direction of the two movable clamping plates, ensuring that the refrigerator can be accurately clamped from both sides when the two movable clamping plates move towards each other to adjust the distance or move relative to each other to clamp the refrigerator.

[0007] Furthermore, the profile bracket includes a mounting connecting plate and a fixed support plate on its upper surface. The mounting connecting plate is equipped with a clamping drive assembly, which includes a drive motor and a drive main gear located at the drive end of the drive motor. At the bottom of the fixed support plate, along the length of the profile bracket, are two driven racks, one and the other, that can move towards or away from each other. Both driven racks mesh with the drive main gear, and their ends, which are far apart from each other, are fixedly connected to two movable clamping plates. When the drive motor operates, it can drive the drive main gear to rotate in either the forward or reverse direction. At this time, driven racks one and two, meshing with the drive main gear, can move towards or away from each other, thereby causing the movable clamping plates fixedly connected to one end of driven racks one and two to move towards or away from each other. That is, it provides driving force for the automatic movement of the two movable clamping plates towards or away from each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixed support plate has two guide grooves along its length for the insertion and movement of two identical driven racks (Rack 1 and Rack 2). The bottom of the guide grooves extends beyond the bottom of the fixed support plate. Driven rack 1 includes a sliding portion and a rack portion located beside the sliding portion. The sliding portion slidably engages with the guide grooves. The guide grooves provide support for driven racks 1 and 2 while also guiding their relative movement, ensuring the stability of the two moving plates moving relative to or away from each other without affecting the meshing of the rack portion with the drive gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting hinge includes a central shaft and two hinged flaps, flap one and flap two, on either side. Flap one is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable clamp, and flap two is fixedly connected to the anti-detachment hook. This prevents interference between the top of the anti-detachment hook and the bottom of the movable clamp when the refrigerator is hooked, ensuring the anti-detachment hook can fully fit against the bottom of the refrigerator and thus affecting its supporting effect.

[0010] Furthermore, the anti-detachment hook is L-shaped and includes a connecting part and a hook body. The side of the connecting part away from the hook body is fixedly connected to the side of the second blade away from the vacuum suction cup. When hooking the refrigerator, the side of the connecting part on the anti-detachment hook near the hook body fits against the side of the refrigerator, and the upper surface of the hook body fits completely against the bottom of the refrigerator, ensuring the supporting force of the anti-detachment hook on the refrigerator.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide groove is arranged in an inverted convex shape, and the sliding part has a T-shaped cross-section. This allows workers to quickly install the sliding part into the guide groove, improving the efficiency of manual assembly.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, the profile bracket, clamp body, clamping drive assembly and anti-detachment assembly work together to enable the entire refrigerator clamp to be connected to an external robot through the profile bracket, which facilitates the robot to automatically clamp and transport the refrigerator, reducing the labor intensity of workers and the cost of manual handling. 2. In this utility model, the clamping drive assembly can drive the two movable clamping plates on the clamp body to move towards or away from each other to adjust the distance between them and clamp the refrigerator. After clamping, a vacuum suction cup is provided to further ensure that the refrigerator is completely clamped. 3. In this utility model, the anti-detachment components symmetrically arranged on the clamp body can provide support for the bottom of the clamped refrigerator, further ensuring that the refrigerator will not fall off the clamp body during transportation, ensuring safety during transportation and avoiding safety hazards.

[0014] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] See appendix Figures 1 to 3As shown, a handling robot with a clamping mechanism in this embodiment includes a profile support 1, a clamping body, and an anti-detachment component 13. The clamping body includes two movable clamping plates 6 connected to the profile support 1. The two movable clamping plates 6 can move towards or away from each other along the profile support 1. Several vacuum suction cups 7 are provided on opposite sides of the two movable clamping plates 6. The two movable clamping plates 6 can move towards or away from each other along the length direction of the profile support 1 to adjust the distance between the two movable clamping plates 6 so that the distance between them can accommodate refrigerators of different lengths. Specifically, a defined space is formed between the two movable clamping plates 6 and the profile support 1 to allow refrigerators of different lengths to be inserted, thereby improving the applicability of the clamp. After the refrigerator is placed in the defined space, the two movable clamping plates 6 move towards each other to clamp the refrigerator from opposite sides within it. At this time, several vacuum suction cups 7 also work simultaneously. The vacuum suction cups 7 are connected to an external vacuum pump to evacuate the surface on which the vacuum suction cups 7 are adsorbed, so that the refrigerator is firmly adsorbed on the relative suction cups, thereby ensuring that the refrigerator will not fall off the clamp body during the handling process and ensuring safety during transportation.

[0016] In some embodiments, each movable clamp 6 is provided with five vacuum suction cups 7, three of which are arranged side by side at the lower part of the movable clamp 6, and the other two are symmetrically arranged on the side of the movable clamp 6 near the edge, so as to increase the adsorption area of ​​the refrigerator, provide sufficient adsorption force for the refrigerator, and ensure that it will not fall off the movable clamp 6 during the movement of the clamp.

[0017] Limiting blocks 12 are provided at the ends of the movable slide rails 4 that are close to each other to limit the movement distance of the movable clamping plate 6.

[0018] Each of the two movable clamping plates 6 has an anti-detachment component 13 on its opposite side. The anti-detachment component 13 includes a vertically detachable drive cylinder 132 and an anti-detachment hook 138 mounted on the movable clamping plate 6. The anti-detachment hook 138 is hinged to the bottom of the movable clamping plate 6 via a connecting hinge 134. The drive end of the drive cylinder 132 is hinged to the back of the anti-detachment hook 138 via a hinge seat 133. When the drive end of the drive cylinder 132 extends, the anti-detachment hook 138 can rotate toward the direction of the refrigerator being clamped, so as to support the refrigerator from the bottom.

[0019] When the piston rod is retracted by the drive cylinder 132, its telescopic end pulls the anti-detachment hook 138, which is hinged to it through the hinge seat 133, to rotate in a direction away from the vacuum suction cup 7 with the central shaft part 135 of the connecting hinge 134 as the support point, so that the anti-detachment hook 138 is located outside the moving clamp 6, so as to avoid the anti-detachment hook 138 interfering with the side of the refrigerator when the moving clamp 6 clamps the refrigerator. After the clamp body fully clamps the refrigerator, the piston rod of the drive cylinder 132 extends, driving the anti-detachment hook 138 to rotate towards the refrigerator with the central shaft 135 as the fulcrum, until the anti-detachment hook 138 completely hooks the refrigerator from the bottom, providing support for the bottom sides of the clamped refrigerator, further preventing the refrigerator from detaching from the clamp body during the handling and movement of the refrigerator, and ensuring safety during the handling process.

[0020] The top of the drive cylinder 132 is connected to the side of the movable clamping plate 6 away from the vacuum suction cup 7 via the mounting base 131.

[0021] A sliding rail 4 is provided along the length of the lower surface of the profile support 1, and the tops of the two movable clamping plates 6 are slidably connected to the profile support 1 via movable sliders 5. The sliding rail 4 can guide the movement direction of the two movable clamping plates 6, ensuring that the refrigerator can be accurately clamped from both sides when the two movable clamping plates 6 move towards each other to adjust the distance or move relative to each other to clamp the refrigerator.

[0022] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 2 The movable clamping plate 6 is set vertically, and there are two movable slide rails 4, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the length direction of the profile bracket 1 along the width direction. Each movable clamping plate 6 has two movable sliders 5 arranged side by side on its top along its length direction. Each movable slider 5 is slidably connected to a movable slide rail 4, so that the two movable clamping plates 6 can move stably towards or relative to each other.

[0023] The profile support 1 includes a mounting connecting plate 2 and a fixed support plate 11 on its upper surface. The mounting connecting plate 2 is provided with a clamping drive assembly 8, which includes a drive motor 81 and a drive main gear 82 located at the drive end of the drive motor 81. At the bottom of the fixed support plate 11, two driven racks 1 83 and 2 84 are arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the profile support 1. Both driven racks 1 83 and 2 84 are meshed with the drive main gear 82, and the ends of driven racks 1 83 and 2 84 that are far apart from each other are respectively fixedly connected to two movable clamping plates 6. When the drive motor 81 is working, it can drive the drive main gear 82 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction. At this time, the driven rack 1 83 and driven rack 2 84, which mesh with the drive main gear 82, can move towards or away from each other, thereby causing the movable clamping plates 6, which are fixedly connected to one end of the driven rack 1 83 and driven rack 2 84, to move towards or away from each other. That is, it provides driving force for the automatic movement of the two movable clamping plates 6 towards or away from each other.

[0024] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 2The mounting connecting plate 2 is set along the width direction of the profile bracket 1. The profile bracket 1 is symmetrically provided with connecting beams 3 along its width direction inside. The fixed support plate 11 connects the lower surfaces of the two connecting beams 3, so that the fixed support plate 11 is firmly fixed on the profile bracket 1.

[0025] The ends of driven rack 1 83 and driven rack 2 84, which are far apart from each other, are fixed to the top of the movable clamping plate 6 by screws, so that when driven rack 1 83 and driven rack 2 84 move, they can drive the two movable clamping plates 6 to move towards or away from each other.

[0026] Two guide grooves 9, with identical driven racks 83 and 84, are provided along the length of the fixed support plate 11 for insertion and movement. The bottom of the guide grooves 9 extends beyond the bottom of the fixed support plate 11. The driven rack 83 includes a sliding part 831 and a rack part 832 located on the side of the sliding part 831. The sliding part 831 is slidably engaged with the guide grooves 9. The guide grooves 9 provide support for the driven racks 83 and 84 while also guiding their relative movement, ensuring the stability of the two moving clamps 6 moving relative to or away from each other without affecting the meshing of the rack part 832 with the drive main gear 82.

[0027] In some embodiments, the mounting connecting plate 2 and the fixed support plate 11 are respectively provided with a rotating shaft slot 21 through which the drive end of the drive motor 81 passes in sequence. The opening of the rotating bearing slot and the clearance slot 10 provides clearance for the drive end of the drive motor 81, so that the drive main gear 82 at its end can mesh with the driven rack 1 83 and the driven rack 2 84.

[0028] The connecting hinge 134 includes a central shaft portion 135 and two hinged leaf pieces 136 and 137 on its two sides. Leaf piece 136 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable clamping plate 6, and leaf piece 137 is fixedly connected to the anti-detachment hook 138. This prevents interference between the top of the anti-detachment hook 138 and the bottom of the movable clamping plate 6 when the refrigerator is hooked, thus ensuring that the anti-detachment hook 138 can fully fit against the bottom of the refrigerator and support its function.

[0029] See appendix Figure 1 In some embodiments, the straight line along the length of the central shaft portion 135 is parallel to the straight line along the length of the movable clamping plate 6, and the hinge is located on the side of the movable clamping plate 6 away from the vacuum suction cup 7.

[0030] The anti-detachment hook 138 is L-shaped and includes a connecting part 1381 and a hook body 1382. The side of the connecting part 1381 away from the hook body 1382 is fixedly connected to the side of the second blade 137 away from the vacuum suction cup 7. When hooking the refrigerator, the side of the connecting part 1381 on the anti-detachment hook 138 near the hook body 1382 fits against the side of the refrigerator, and the upper surface of the hook body 1382 fits completely against the bottom of the refrigerator, ensuring the supporting force of the anti-detachment hook 138 on the refrigerator.

[0031] The guide groove 9 is arranged in an inverted convex shape, and the sliding part 831 has a T-shaped cross-section. This allows workers to quickly install the sliding part 831 into the guide groove 9, improving the efficiency of manual assembly.
