[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a caliper straightening, conveying, and transporting device, comprising: Rack 1; The X-axis displacement adjustment mechanism 2 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to adjust the position in the X-axis direction. The Z-axis lifting adjustment mechanism 3 is mounted on the X-axis displacement adjustment mechanism 2 and is used to adjust the position of the Z-axis displacement adjustment mechanism. A double-headed clamping and transporting mechanism 4 is set at the bottom of the Z-axis lifting and adjusting mechanism 3 for transporting calipers. The double-headed clamping and transporting mechanism 4 includes a support connecting plate 41, a first clamping device 42 and a second clamping device 43. The first clamping device 42 and the second clamping device 43 are set on the Z-axis lifting and adjusting mechanism 3 through the support connecting plate 41.

[0018] This invention enables precise positional adjustment of the caliper along both the horizontal X-axis and vertical Z-axis, providing high flexibility and adaptability for caliper straightening and handling. Furthermore, the dual-head clamping and handling mechanism 4 can be used to clamp both raw and finished parts, facilitating workpiece exchange within the equipment and reducing the time required for workpiece exchange, thereby improving overall production efficiency. One jaw can grip a new raw part and place it at the processing position, while the other jaw can simultaneously grip a finished part and remove it from the processing area.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping device 42 and the second clamping device 43 have the same structure, both including a pneumatic gripper 421 and a lifting cylinder 422. The lifting cylinder 422 is mounted on the Z-axis lifting adjustment mechanism 3, and the pneumatic gripper 421 is connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 422 through a gripper mounting plate 423. Both the first clamping device 42 and the second clamping device 43 adopt the structure of a pneumatic gripper 421 and a lifting cylinder 422. The pneumatic gripper 421 achieves stable clamping of the caliper, while the lifting cylinder 422 can adjust the clamping height of the first clamping device 42 and the second clamping device 43, achieving avoidance between the clamping devices. When one clamping device picks up or puts down a workpiece, it ensures that the other clamping device will not affect the current picking and putting action, nor will it collide with other mechanisms of the processing equipment.

[0020] like Figure 5As shown, the pneumatic gripper 421 includes a first gripper 4211, a second gripper 4212, and a gripper cylinder 4213. The first gripper 4211 and the second gripper 4212 are respectively connected to the drive end of the gripper cylinder 4213. By driving the opening and closing actions of the first gripper 4211 and the second gripper 4212 through the gripper cylinder 4213, self-centering gripping of the caliper is achieved. This design not only improves the flexibility of gripping but also enhances the control precision of the gripping force, further improving the stability of the caliper during transportation.

[0021] Furthermore, the first gripper 4211 is provided with a clearance groove 4214, and the second gripper 4212 is provided with a support plate 4215. When the first gripper 4211 and the second gripper 4212 are engaged, the support plate 4215 is embedded in the clearance groove 4214. When gripping a workpiece, the first gripper 4211 and the second gripper 4212 are closed. The design of the clearance groove 4214 and the support plate 4215 ensures that the first gripper 4211 and the second gripper 4212 avoid each other and do not interfere. The support plate 4215 can effectively press against the upper surface of the workpiece to achieve precise gripping. When the gripper cylinder 4213 is opened, the first gripper 4211 and the second gripper 4212 will not separate in the horizontal direction, maintaining the stability of the first gripper 4211 and the second gripper 4212 in the horizontal direction.

[0022] The frame 1 includes a column support 11 and a crossbeam 12. The crossbeam 12 is vertically mounted on the column support 11, and a reinforcing plate 13 is provided at the connection between the crossbeam 12 and the column support 11. The reinforcing plate 13 is integrally formed with the column support 11 or is designed separately.

[0023] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the X-axis displacement adjustment mechanism 2 includes a first servo motor 21, a first gear 22, a first rack 23, a first linear slide rail 24, and a second linear slide rail 25. The first rack 23 is fixed on the crossbeam 12, and the first linear slide rail 24 and the second linear slide rail 25 are provided on both sides of the first rack 23 on the crossbeam 12. An X-axis sliding seat 26 is slidably mounted on the first linear slide rail 24 and the second linear slide rail 25. The first servo motor 21 is mounted on the X-axis sliding seat 26. The first gear 22 is connected to the output shaft of the first servo motor 21, and the first gear 22 meshes with the first rack 23. By driving the first gear 22 to mesh with the first rack 23, precise displacement adjustment in the X-axis direction is achieved. The arrangement of the first linear slide rail 24 and the second linear slide rail 25 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the sliding, further improving the positioning accuracy and operational stability of the device.

[0024] In this embodiment, the X-axis sliding seat 26 is provided with sliding plate protective plates 27 on both sides. Each sliding plate protective plate 27 has a bellows-shaped protective cover 28, which has clearance holes. This design of the sliding plate protective plate 27 effectively prevents dust and impurities from entering the sliding components, extending the service life of the equipment and improving operational reliability and stability. The bellows-shaped protective cover 28 effectively protects the sliding components from external environmental influences, while the clearance holes ensure that the equipment's normal operation is not affected by interference from the protective cover, further enhancing the equipment's reliability and ease of maintenance.

[0025] In this embodiment, the Z-axis displacement adjustment mechanism 3 includes a Z-axis arm 31, a second servo motor 32, a second gear 33, a second rack 34, a third linear slide rail 35, and a fourth linear slide rail 36. The second rack 34 is mounted on the Z-axis arm 31, and the third linear slide rail 35 and the fourth linear slide rail 36 are respectively mounted on both sides of the second rack 34 on the Z-axis arm 31. Both the third linear slide rail 35 and the fourth linear slide rail 36 are connected to the X-axis sliding seat 26 via a Z-axis slider bracket 37. The second servo motor 32 is mounted on the X-axis sliding seat 26, and the output shaft of the second servo motor 32 is connected to the second gear 33, which meshes with the second rack 34. By driving the second gear 33 to mesh with the second rack 34 through the two servo motors 32, precise displacement adjustment in the Z-axis direction is achieved. The third linear slide rail 35 and the fourth linear slide rail 36 ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the sliding, further improving the positioning accuracy and operational stability of the device.

[0026] Furthermore, gear lubrication blocks are provided on the outer sides of both the first gear 22 and the second gear 33. The design of the gear lubrication blocks can effectively lubricate the gears, reduce wear, improve the service life of the gears and transmission efficiency, thereby further improving the operational reliability and maintenance convenience of the entire device.

[0027] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
