Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotic arm gripping technology, and in particular relates to a fiber optic tray handling and gripping device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, robotic gripper devices are becoming increasingly common on industrial production lines, including intelligent transportation. However, our research has revealed a lack of robotic grippers specifically designed for transporting fiber optic reels. Traditional gripper arms are insufficient for handling such small units as fiber optic reels. Their thickness and small contact area make them ill-suited for grasping fiber optic reels within boxes. While the reels are packed tightly, the gaps between fibers are easily accessible by hand, making it difficult for a robotic gripper. Furthermore, traditional gripper methods can easily damage the reel and its fibers. The gripping areas on both sides of the reel are made of plastic, and the small contact area of ​​traditional arms results in high pressure, easily damaging these gripping areas. Currently, some fiber optic cable manufacturers, such as the Eighth Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, still rely on manual handling of fiber optic reels to minimize damage. However, this method still suffers from excessive manpower consumption and time-consuming processes. Utility Model Content

[0021] As shown in the figure, this utility model includes a gripper 2, the rear end of which is shaft-connected to the outer end of the driving rod 100, the inner end of the driving rod 100 is connected to the shaft of the gear 1, and the gear 1 is driven by the gear drive motor 105; the middle part of the gripper 2 is shaft-connected to the outer end of the driven rod 14, and the inner end of the driven rod 14 is shaft-connected to the gripper mounting plate 101; the front end of the gripper 2 is a clamping plate. The turntable control motor 26 is mounted on the turntable bracket 50 at the lower end of the turntable 51. The turntable bracket 50 is mounted on the base 17. The middle part of the lower end of the turntable 51 is connected to the rotating shaft extending upward from the turntable control motor 26. The turntable control motor 26 controls the turntable 51 to rotate. The output shaft of the right motor 35 is connected to the lower end of the right robotic arm 5. When the output shaft of the right motor 35 rotates, it drives the lower end of the right robotic arm 5 to rotate. The upper end of the right robotic arm 5 is connected to the lower corner of the middle of the triangular right linkage component 34 and the rear end of the right connecting rod 64. The upper rear corner of the right linkage component 34 is connected to the upper end of the right rear connecting rod 53. The lower end of the right rear connecting rod 53 is connected to the upper rear part of the turntable 51. The upper front part of the right linkage component 34 is connected to the rear end of the front connecting rod 54. The front connecting rod 54 is connected to the upper end of the front connecting rod 55. The lower end of the left robotic arm 25 is connected to the turntable 51, the upper end of the left robotic arm 25 is connected to the rear of the left connecting rod 30, the rear end of the left connecting rod 30 is connected to the upper end of the left rear connecting rod 60, the lower end of the left rear connecting rod 60 is connected to the rear end of the lower left connecting rod 62, the front end of the lower left connecting rod 62 is connected to the output shaft of the left motor 52, and the left motor 52 is mounted on the turntable 51.

Both the ultrasonic ranging device 39 and the infrared ranging device 47 are used to measure the distance between the gripper 2 and the target fiber optic disc. The ultrasonic ranging device 39 and the infrared ranging device 47 work together to ensure gripping accuracy.

[0029] If the detection values ​​of the ultrasonic ranging device 39 and the infrared ranging device 47 are inconsistent, the two will be matched again until the error is less than 0.1mm. If there is still a large error, calibration (conventional technique) can be performed, and then the measurement can be performed again.
