Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warehouse sorting robot technology, specifically to a rapid gripping manipulator for warehouse sorting robots. Background Technology
[0002] As a core link in the logistics chain, the efficiency of warehousing and sorting directly determines the warehousing turnover speed and logistics costs. Currently, with the continuous development of intelligent warehousing management, warehousing and sorting robots are usually used to replace manual sorting operations when carrying out warehousing processing operations, which has the advantages of saving manpower and improving work efficiency. The invention patent with authorization announcement number CN120003889B discloses an intelligent AGV warehouse robot, relating to the field of warehouse AGVs. It solves the problem of low efficiency in existing manual handling and adopts the following solution: It includes a track assembly laid in the aisle of the warehouse, with a warehouse robot moving on the track assembly; the warehouse robot includes a main frame plate, with walking mechanisms for driving the warehouse robot fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the main frame plate; a frame assembly for placing goods on the top side is provided on the top of the main frame plate, and a drive mechanism for stably lifting the frame assembly is also fixedly installed on the top of the main frame plate; this intelligent AGV warehouse robot, through the arrangement of the warehouse robot and its top components, can adjust the feeding and discharging positions and tilt angles using the frame assembly structure, to assist workers in efficiently loading and unloading goods, and to efficiently transport larger goods by pushing; While the aforementioned technical solutions have their advantages, most current intelligent warehouse sorting robots still have some shortcomings in use. Since the gripping robot is the execution terminal of the sorting robot, its gripping speed, adaptability, and stability are key factors affecting sorting efficiency. Existing gripping robots suffer from slow gripping response speeds. Traditional robots often use single-motor driven multi-joint linkages, such as a motor driving gear rotation, which in turn drives joint rotation. The entire gripping and releasing operation is relatively time-consuming, with a single response time from positioning to gripping exceeding 1.5 seconds, which is not conducive to achieving rapid response and gripping effects. Therefore, we propose a fast gripping robot for warehouse sorting robots. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fast-grabbing robotic arm for warehouse sorting robots to address the deficiencies mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A rapid gripping manipulator for a warehouse sorting robot includes a main body and an end support at the end of the main body. A rapid gripping assembly is located at the bottom of the end support. The rapid gripping assembly includes a mounting box detachably mounted on the end support. Two symmetrical small cylinders are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting box. The telescopic shafts of the small cylinders extend out of the mounting box and are fixedly mounted with end plates. A sliding plate is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the end plate. The sliding plate is attached to the bottom surface of the mounting box and slidably connected to it. A clamping plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the end plate of the sliding plate. Anti-slip pads are detachably mounted on the sides of the two clamping plates that are close to each other.
[0005] Preferably, the mounting box has an assembly chamber with its top communicating with the outside, and the small cylinder is installed in the assembly chamber.
[0006] Preferably, the mounting box has a plurality of heat dissipation holes on its side that communicate with the assembly chamber, and the heat dissipation holes are arranged along the length of the mounting box; This setting enables heat dissipation within the mounting box.
[0007] Preferably, side fixing plates are fixedly installed on the top surfaces of both end plates of the mounting box, and the side fixing plates are detachably installed on the end supports.
[0008] Preferably, a slide rail is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the mounting box along the length direction of the mounting box, and a slide groove is provided on the top surface of the sliding plate. The sliding plate is sleeved on the slide rail and slidably connected to the slide rail. This setting makes the slider more stable when sliding.
[0009] Preferably, the clamping plate is provided with limiting holes that are connected to the outside at both the front and rear ends. Two symmetrical studs are fixedly installed on the back of the anti-slip pad. The ends of the studs pass through the side plate of the clamping plate and extend into the limiting holes. Nuts are threaded onto the studs and the nuts are located in the limiting holes. This feature facilitates the installation and removal of the anti-slip mat.
[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the clamping plate is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, and the back of the anti-slip pad is fixedly installed with a plurality of positioning protrusions, the positioning protrusions being inserted into the positioning holes. This feature facilitates the positioning and assembly of the anti-slip mat.
[0011] Preferably, a bottom plug block is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the anti-slip mat, the bottom plug block has a triangular cross-section, and the inner surface of the bottom plug block is an inclined surface; This feature makes it easier for the bottom plug to be inserted between two adjacent storage boxes.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model replaces the traditional single-motor driven multi-joint linkage structure with a quick-gripping component driven by dual small cylinders. By utilizing the rapid action response of the pneumatic system, combined with the stable guidance of the sliding plate and slide rail, the action cycle from positioning to gripping is greatly shortened, and the grasping response speed is significantly improved. This effectively solves the problem of slow response of traditional robotic arms and achieves the effect of efficiently adapting to the needs of rapid sorting in warehousing.
[0013] 2. This utility model provides an anti-slip pad on the inner side of the clamping plate and a bottom plug block with a triangular cross-section. The inclined design of the bottom plug block can guide the robot arm to smoothly insert between adjacent storage boxes. The anti-slip pad can increase the friction during clamping. At the same time, the cooperation between the positioning protrusion and the positioning hole ensures that the anti-slip pad is assembled firmly, thus realizing stable gripping of goods in different states.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a rapid gripping manipulator for a warehouse sorting robot, comprising a warehouse sorting robot arm body 1 and an end support 10 disposed at the end of the warehouse sorting robot arm body 1. A rapid gripping assembly 2 is disposed at the bottom of the end support 10. The rapid gripping assembly 2 includes a mounting box 20 detachably mounted on the end support 10. Two symmetrical small cylinders 22 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting box 20. The telescopic shaft ends of the small cylinders 22 protrude from the mounting box 20 and are fixedly mounted with end plates 23. A sliding plate 24 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the end plate 23. The sliding plate 24 is attached to the bottom surface of the mounting box 20 and... The two mounting boxes 20 are slidably connected. A clamping plate 26 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the end plate of the sliding plate 24. Anti-slip pads 27 can be detachably installed on the sides of the two clamping plates 26 that are close to each other. By setting small cylinders 22 symmetrically arranged inside the mounting box 20, the traditional single motor multi-joint drive structure is replaced. The fast response characteristics of pneumatic drive greatly shorten the clamping action cycle. With the sliding cooperation between the sliding plate 24 and the mounting box 20, the clamping plate 26 can open and close quickly, realizing the rapid gripping of goods and solving the problem of slow response of traditional robotic arms. In addition, the anti-slip pads 27 can increase the friction, making it less likely for the anti-slip pads 27 to slip with the logistics box.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting box 20 is provided with an assembly chamber 201 whose top is connected to the outside. The small cylinder 22 is installed in the assembly chamber 201. The top of the assembly chamber 201 is connected to the outside, which is conducive to heat dissipation. The assembly chamber 201 provides installation space for the small cylinder 22.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting box 20 has multiple heat dissipation holes 202 on its side that communicate with the assembly chamber 201. The heat dissipation holes 202 are arranged along the length of the mounting box 20, which can dissipate heat inside the mounting box 20.
[0021] In this embodiment, side fixing plates 21 are fixedly installed on the top surfaces of the plates at both ends of the mounting box 20. The side fixing plates 21 are detachably installed on the end supports 10 by multiple fastening screws, which facilitates the fixing of the side fixing plates 21 and achieves the effect of fixing the mounting box 20.
[0022] Specifically, a slide rail 25 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the mounting box 20 along the length of the mounting box 20, and a slide groove 241 is provided on the top surface of the sliding plate 24. The sliding plate 24 is fitted onto the slide rail 25 and slidably connected to the slide rail 25, making the sliding plate 24 more stable when sliding.
[0023] Furthermore, the clamping plate 26 is provided with limiting holes 261 that are connected to the outside at both ends. Two symmetrical studs 272 are fixedly installed on the back of the anti-slip pad 27. The ends of the studs 272 pass through the side plate of the clamping plate 26 and extend into the limiting holes 261. Nuts 273 are threaded onto the studs 272. The nuts 273 are located in the limiting holes 261, which facilitates the loading and unloading of the anti-slip pad 27.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple positioning holes 262 are provided on the inner side of the clamping plate 26, and multiple positioning protrusions 271 are fixedly installed on the back of the anti-slip pad 27. The positioning protrusions 271 and the positioning holes 262 are interlocked to facilitate the positioning and assembly of the anti-slip pad 27.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, a bottom insertion block 28 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the anti-slip mat 27. The bottom insertion block 28 has a triangular cross-section and an inclined surface 281 on its inner side, which makes it easier for the bottom insertion block 28 to be inserted between two adjacent storage boxes.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the small cylinder 22, the corresponding air source, and the corresponding control system of this utility model are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components, and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle of this utility model. The electrical connections between each electrical component are completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection methods are all technologies known in the art.
[0027] When using the rapid gripping manipulator of the warehouse sorting robot of this utility model, the small cylinder 22 is installed in the assembly chamber 201 of the mounting box 20. The mounting box 20 is fixed on the end support 10 of the main body 1 of the warehouse sorting robot by the side fixing plate 21 and fastening screws. The sliding groove 241 of the sliding plate 24 is aligned with the sliding rail 25 on the bottom surface of the mounting box 20 and fitted in to ensure smooth sliding. The positioning protrusion 271 of the anti-slip pad 27 is inserted into the positioning hole 262 of the clamping plate 26. After the stud 272 is inserted into the limiting hole 261, the nut 273 is tightened to complete the assembly of the anti-slip pad. The stability of the connection of each component is checked. The main body 1 of the robotic arm moves the end support 10 to the side of the goods. The inclined surface 281 of the bottom insertion block 28 is aligned with the gap between the adjacent storage boxes and inserted. The left and right small cylinders 22 are activated. The telescopic shaft pushes the end plate 23 to drive the sliding plate 24 to slide along the slide rail 25. The two clamping plates 26 quickly come together. The anti-slip pad 27 is attached to the surface of the goods to increase friction and achieve stable gripping. When the telescopic shaft of the small cylinder 22 is shortened, the goods are released. During operation, the heat dissipation hole 202 cooperates with the open assembly chamber 201 to dissipate heat from the cylinder and ensure the rapid response performance of the pneumatic drive. When maintenance is required, the mounting box 20 and the entire clamping assembly 2 can be removed by unscrewing the screws of the side fixing plate 21. After the anti-slip pad 27 is worn, the nut 273 in the limiting hole 261 can be unscrewed and the positioning protrusion 271 can be pulled out for replacement.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
