[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] As mentioned in the background section, existing plastic frames are widely used in the material supply stage of production lines as common material loading tools. However, existing plastic frame handling methods mostly rely on manual operation. This traditional mode is not only inefficient, but also prone to safety risks when handling heavy plastic frames. Therefore, to address the above-mentioned technical problems, the handling mechanism of this application includes a body 100 and a clamping assembly 200. The body 100 is movably arranged along a predetermined trajectory. The clamping assembly 200 is disposed on the body 100. There are two sets of clamping assemblies 200, which are movably arranged relative to each other. A receiving space for accommodating the target workpiece is provided between the two sets of clamping assemblies 200. The clamping assembly 200 includes a barb part 210 and a pressing part 220. At least a portion of the barb part 210 is bent toward the receiving space to insert into the operating groove in the target workpiece. At least a portion of the pressing part 220 is movably arranged in the vertical direction to press against the surface of the target workpiece. The body 100 is movably arranged along the predetermined trajectory to transport the target workpiece. Automated material handling avoids the safety risks associated with manual handling of heavy objects, reducing the incidence of workplace accidents. Furthermore, precise robot control and gripping component design ensure the stability of the handling process, reducing the risk of the plastic frame detaching during transport, while simultaneously reducing human error and improving production efficiency.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a handling mechanism, including: a body 100; and clamping components 200 disposed on the body 100. The clamping components 200 are in two sets, which are movably disposed relative to each other. A receiving space for accommodating a target workpiece is provided between the two sets of clamping components 200. The clamping components 200 include a barb member 210 and a pressing member 220. At least a portion of the barb member 210 is bent toward the receiving space to insert into an operating groove in the target workpiece. At least a portion of the pressing member 220 is movably disposed in the vertical direction to press against the surface of the target workpiece. The body 100 is movably disposed along a predetermined trajectory to handle the target workpiece.

[0030] According to the handling mechanism provided in this application, automated operation significantly shortens handling time, reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs and production cycles, and improves production efficiency.

[0031] With precise positioning and a stable clamping mechanism, safety accidents that may be caused by manual handling are avoided. At the same time, the robot's movement along the preset trajectory ensures the stability of the operation and reduces the risk of workpiece falling off during the handling process.

[0032] First, a 3D vision camera is used to accurately locate and identify the target workpiece (in this case, a plastic frame), determining its size, orientation, and specific information about the operating groove. This preliminary step ensures the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent actions.

[0033] The robot moves the clamping assembly to the material handling position. At least a portion of the barb component 210 is precisely aligned with and pressed against the operating groove on one side of the plastic frame. Subsequently, the clamping component 220 (e.g., a pressure cylinder) extends vertically, applying pressure to the surface of the plastic frame. Simultaneously, the barb structure of the barb component 210 retracts under the action of the cylinder, achieving barb clamping on one side of the plastic frame. During this process, the cylinder pressure needs to be adjusted via a pressure regulating valve to ensure the balance of the two different forces, thereby achieving stable clamping.

[0034] The robot lifts one side of the plastic frame to a safe height along a predetermined trajectory, then moves it laterally a certain distance before lowering that side back to the same horizontal height as before it was pulled out, allowing for clamping on the other side. This action ensures smooth handling and accurate positioning of the plastic frame. Subsequently, the tightening action of the side-push cylinder causes the barb component 210 on the other side to fit tightly against the groove of the plastic frame. Then, the extension action of the down-press cylinder, combined with the retraction action of the barb cylinder, achieves clamping of the barb on the other side. Similarly, the use of a pressure regulating valve ensures the stability and safety of the clamping process.

[0035] Once both sides are stably clamped, the robot can move along the predetermined trajectory to efficiently transport the plastic frame. At this point, the stability and compatibility of the clamping components, as well as the robot's automated control capabilities, are fully utilized, ensuring both efficiency and safety in the transport process.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each clamping assembly 200 further includes: a first driving member 230, at least a portion of which is telescopically arranged in the vertical direction. The first driving member 230 is driven to connect with the barb member 210 so that after the barb member 210 is inserted into the operating groove, the first driving member 230 drives the barb member 210 to move upward to fit against the groove wall of the operating groove. At the same time, the pressing member 220 presses down to fit against the surface of the target workpiece.

[0037] After the barb component 210 is inserted into the operating groove of the target workpiece, it is driven upward by the first driving component 230 to ensure that the barb component is in close contact with the groove wall surface. This design makes full use of the structural features of the barb component 210, which can effectively increase the contact area with the workpiece and improve the stability and reliability of clamping.

[0038] At the same time, the clamping component 220 presses down, making it fully adhere to the surface of the target workpiece. This action, combined with the upward movement of the barb component, acts on the workpiece, achieving a secure fixation and preventing slippage through two different force directions.

[0039] To ensure that the barbed component 210 and the clamping component 220 do not damage the workpiece or cause excessive clamping while applying force to the rubber frame, the extension and retraction of the first drive component 230 and the pressing down of the clamping component 220 need to be carried out in dynamic balance. This is usually achieved by adding a pressure regulating valve to finely adjust the magnitude of the force, protect the rubber frame from damage, and ensure that the clamping force is appropriate.

[0040] The linkage design of the first driving component 230 and the clamping component 220 ensures that the frame remains stable during transportation. Whether the transportation path is straight or curved, it can effectively prevent the workpiece from shaking or falling off, thus improving the safety and efficiency of the transportation process.

[0041] The addition of a pressure regulating valve allows for precise control of the clamping force, preventing workpiece deformation or damage due to excessive force. This is especially important for handling fragile or high-value materials, helping to maintain material integrity and high-quality output from the production line.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 As shown, the barb component 210 includes: a first body 211 and a second body 212 connected to each other. The first body 211 is driven to be connected to the first driving member 230, and the second body 212 is bent relative to the first body 211 toward the receiving space.

[0043] The barb component 210 consists of a first body 211 and a second body 212 connected to each other. The first body 211 is drivenly connected to a first drive member 230 (e.g., a barb cylinder), meaning that the movement of the first body (e.g., extension or retraction) is controlled by the first drive member. The second body 212 is bent relative to the first body 211 toward the receiving space to form a barb structure. This design allows the barb component to be precisely inserted into the operating groove of the target workpiece during clamping, achieving a secure clamping.

[0044] When the handling mechanism is in operation, as the robot positions the gripping assembly 200 above the plastic frame, the first drive member 230 drives the first body 211 to extend and retract. During the extension, the barb structure of the second body 212 faces and inserts into the groove of the plastic frame. Subsequently, the first drive member 230 drives the first body 211 to retract, so that the barb structure forms a firm clamp in the groove of the plastic frame. This process needs to be synchronized with the extension action of the pressing component 220 (such as the first drive member) to ensure that the plastic frame is stably pressed and clamped by the barbs, avoiding slippage or detachment during handling.

[0045] The rapid extension, insertion, and retraction of the barbed component 210, combined with the driving force of the first driving component 230, enables the entire clamping process to be completed quickly, greatly improving handling efficiency.

[0046] The barb component 210 is provided with a fitting end face that fits against the groove wall of the operating groove, and a first buffer 213 is provided on the fitting end face. The first buffer 213 is an elastic element.

[0047] The barb component 210 has a specially designed fitting end face, which is designed to fit tightly against the groove wall of the operating groove. This design ensures the stability of the barb component when inserted into the operating groove and effectively prevents the rubber frame from shaking or falling off during transportation due to excessive gaps.

[0048] The first buffer 213, configured on the mating end face, is a component made of an elastic material. It has two important functions: first, to provide cushioning, reduce the impact force when the barb component is inserted into the operating groove, and protect the frame from damage; second, through its elastic properties, it can adapt to groove wall surfaces of different thicknesses or slight deformations, ensuring a good seal and firm grip between the barb component and the frame, and maintaining the stability of the frame even when encountering vibration or tilting during transportation.

[0049] The body 100 includes: a first mounting plate 110, which extends vertically and includes a first mounting surface 111 and a second mounting surface 112 disposed opposite to each other, with the first mounting surface 111 facing the accommodating space; wherein, a pressing member 220 is disposed on the first mounting surface 111 and a first driving member 230 is disposed on the second mounting surface 112.

[0050] The first mounting plate 110, designed to extend vertically, provides the physical basis for the vertical movement of the clamping component 220. This vertical extension ensures that the clamping component can move vertically, effectively applying pressure to the surface of the target workpiece within the receiving space, achieving a stable clamping effect.

[0051] The first mounting surface 111 faces the receiving space, and the clamping component 220 is fixed on this surface, enabling precise clamping operations above the target workpiece. The second mounting surface 112 is used to mount the first driving component 230. This layout design makes the installation and maintenance of the driving component more convenient, and also provides a direct path for the transmission from the driving component to the clamping component, improving transmission efficiency and structural compactness.

[0052] The clamping component 220 is directly mounted on the first mounting surface 111. When the target workpiece is positioned in the receiving space, the clamping component can directly act on the workpiece surface to achieve a fast and powerful clamping operation. The design of the clamping component needs to take into account the material and characteristics of different workpiece surfaces to ensure effective clamping without damaging the workpiece.

[0053] The first driving component (such as a cylinder) is mounted on the second mounting surface 112 and connected to the clamping component via a transmission mechanism (such as a connecting rod), which can control the clamping component to move up and down in the vertical direction. The driving force of the first driving component is adjusted by a pressure regulating valve to ensure balance with the workpiece clamping force, avoiding damage to the workpiece due to excessive clamping force or unstable clamping due to insufficient clamping force.

[0054] In this application, the conveying mechanism further includes: a first guide portion 300 disposed on the second mounting surface 112, the first guide portion 300 extending in a vertical direction, and a barb member 210 connected to the first guide portion 300 to guide the barb member 210 during the process of the first driving member 230 driving the barb member 210 to move.

[0055] The first guide portion 300 is mounted on the second mounting surface 112, which is located on a portion of the body 100, typically the base of the clamping assembly 200. The first guide portion extends vertically, forming a fixed linear guide path. When the first drive member 230 (such as a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder) drives the hook component 210 to move upward or downward, the hook component moves along the path set by the first guide portion. This path restricts the degree of freedom of movement of the hook component, ensuring that it moves only in a predetermined vertical direction.

[0056] The barb component 210 and the first guide part 300 are usually connected by a slider and guide rail, or by a roller and guide groove. These mechanical connections ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the barb component during movement, avoid lateral offset or other unexpected movements, and ensure precise docking and stable clamping with the rubber frame groove.

[0057] The guide section defines the movement path of the barb component, ensuring precise alignment between the barb component and the groove of the rubber frame, improving the success rate and accuracy of clamping operations, reducing operational errors, and increasing handling efficiency.

[0058] During the up-and-down movement of the barb component, the stable support provided by the first guide part can effectively prevent the barb component from shifting laterally or swaying, increasing the stability of clamping, especially when handling heavy or irregularly shaped plastic frames.

[0059] Preferably, the first guide portion 300 is a first slide rail.

[0060] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism also includes a second driving member 400, which is drivenly connected to the first mounting plate 110. The second driving member 400 is horizontally extendable and retractable, and the first mounting plate 110 is moved by the second driving member 400 to adjust the size of the accommodating space.

[0061] The second drive component 400 (e.g., a side-push cylinder) is driven to connect with the first mounting plate 110 on the body 100. Its function is to perform telescopic movement in the horizontal direction, that is, to adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping components 200 in the X and Y axis directions, thereby changing the size of the accommodating space.

[0062] When handling plastic frames of different sizes, the second drive unit 400 can precisely adjust the accommodating space to match the size of the target workpiece through its telescopic movement, ensuring stability and safety during handling. This adjustment process is usually performed after the clamping assembly 200 has completed the single-sided clamping action.

[0063] In specific operation, before adjusting the position of the first mounting plate 110, the second driving component 400 must ensure that at least one of the clamping components (including the barb component and the clamping component) has firmly clamped the target workpiece. Then, based on the size information of the target workpiece, the second driving component 400 drives the first mounting plate 110 to a suitable position, so that the clamping component on the other side can accurately align with the operating groove on the other side of the workpiece and complete the clamping. Subsequently, through the coordinated action of the first driving component and the clamping component, the two clamping components stably clamp the workpiece and complete the transport.

[0064] Through the horizontal telescopic capability of the second drive component 400, the conveying mechanism can adapt to different sizes and models of plastic frames, greatly improving the versatility of the equipment, reducing the need to change fixtures to handle workpieces of different specifications, and reducing production costs and maintenance time.

[0065] The body 100 also includes a second mounting plate 120, on which a second guide component 121 is provided, and a second driving component 400 is provided on the second mounting plate 120; the first mounting plate 110 is connected to the second guide component 121 so that the first mounting plate 110 is guided by the second guide component 121 during the process of the second driving component 400 driving the first mounting plate 110 to move.

[0066] There are two first mounting plates 110, and the two first mounting plates 110 are spaced apart on the second mounting plate 120. Two sets of clamping components 200 are respectively disposed on the two first mounting plates 110.

[0067] The second guide component 121 is arranged on the second mounting plate 120. Its purpose is to guide the movement of the first mounting plate 110, ensuring that the relative movement between the two sets of clamping assemblies 200 is both precise and smooth. The guide component can be a guide rail, guide rod, or linear guide, etc. These components can withstand large guide loads while providing a low-friction moving interface, allowing the first mounting plate to move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory.

[0068] The second drive element 400 (e.g., a motor, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder) is mounted on the second mounting plate 120, forming a drive relationship with the first mounting plate 110. Its main function is to drive the first mounting plate 110 to move relative to the first mounting plate 110 under the guidance of the second guide member 121 when needed. This movement may be to bring the two sets of clamping assemblies 200 closer together or further apart to accommodate target workpieces of different sizes, or to make the clamping assemblies contact the workpiece more closely, thereby providing a stronger clamping force.

[0069] Driven by the second drive component 400, the first mounting plate 110 is translated by the second guide component 121. During this process, the guide component ensures that the movement path of the first mounting plate is accurate and avoids possible deviation or vibration under high speed or load conditions, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the entire conveying mechanism.

[0070] The clamping component 220 includes: a clamping block 221 for contacting the surface of the target workpiece; and a third driving component 222 for driving connection with the clamping block 221. The third driving component 222 is extendable and retractable in the vertical direction to drive the clamping block 221 to rise and fall.

[0071] The third drive unit 222 (usually a pneumatic or electric cylinder) is connected to the clamping block 221 and its main function is to control the vertical movement of the clamping block. During operation of the conveying mechanism, after the hook component 210 successfully locks into the operating groove of the plastic frame, the third drive unit begins to work, pushing the clamping block downwards to adhere to the surface of the plastic frame. This process requires precise control of force to ensure that the workpiece is firmly clamped without damaging the plastic frame or the material inside due to excessive force. At the end of the conveying process, just before placing the plastic frame, the third drive unit reverses its action, pulling the clamping block upwards to release the clamping force on the plastic frame and safely release the workpiece.

[0072] To accommodate frames of varying weights and sizes, the third drive unit needs to be equipped with a pressure regulating valve or other pressure adjustment device to dynamically adjust the force of the drive clamping block. This ensures that the clamping component provides appropriate clamping force regardless of changes in the weight of the frame, maintaining stability and safety during handling.

[0073] The clamping block 221 is provided with a pressing end face, and a second buffer 223 is provided on the pressing end face. The second buffer 223 is an elastic element.

[0074] The second buffer 223, being an elastic material, provides cushioning when the clamping block 221 contacts the workpiece surface, reducing potential damage to the workpiece surface from hard contact.

[0075] The elasticity of the component allows the clamping block 221 to distribute pressure evenly when pressed against the workpiece surface, preventing workpiece deformation or damage caused by excessive local pressure. Simultaneously, this uniform pressure distribution also helps enhance the clamping effect and improve stability during handling.

[0076] This handling mechanism, driven by the robot, arrives at the robot's waiting position. First, a 3D vision camera identifies the size, model, posture, and position of the plastic frame. Then, it outputs three-dimensional spatial coordinates and the specific posture information of the plastic frame to the robot. The robot then moves this gripper to the picking position. First, the hook component 210 presses against the corresponding groove on the plastic frame. Then, the third drive component 222 extends and presses down. Simultaneously, the first drive component 230 retracts, and the relative movement of the two achieves the hook clamping function. The clamping action on one side of the plastic frame is completed when the two different forces of the two cylinders are balanced (a pressure regulating valve is required for pressure adjustment). Then, the robot picks up the plastic frame according to the predetermined taught route. The clamp is lifted approximately 100mm, pulled outwards to the required length, and then lowered another 100mm to maintain the frame at the same horizontal height as before pulling it out. At this point, the second drive component 400 tightens (pressure adjustment requires a pressure regulating valve), causing the hook component 210 to press tightly against the corresponding groove on the frame. Then, the third drive component 222 extends and presses down. While the third drive component 222 is working, the first drive component 230 retracts. The relative movement of the two components achieves the hook clamping function. This continues until the two different forces of the two cylinders are balanced (pressure adjustment requires a pressure regulating valve), at which point the clamping action on both sides of the frame is complete. The robot then drives this fixture to complete the depalletizing and handling process of the frame. (The robot quick-change device is designed to allow the robot to automatically, accurately, and quickly change fixtures for certain special frame shapes, sizes, and appearances, such as depalletizing cartons with smooth surfaces that can only be depalletized and handled using suction cups.)

[0077] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0078] The conveying mechanism of this application includes a body 100 and a clamping assembly 200. The clamping assembly 200 is disposed on the body 100. There are two sets of clamping assemblies 200, which are movably arranged relative to each other. A receiving space for accommodating a target workpiece is provided between the two sets of clamping assemblies 200. The clamping assembly 200 includes a barb member 210 and a pressing member 220. At least a portion of the barb member 210 is bent toward the receiving space to insert into an operating groove in the target workpiece. At least a portion of the pressing member 220 is movably arranged in the vertical direction to press against the surface of the target workpiece. The body 100 is movably arranged along a predetermined trajectory to convey the target workpiece.

[0080] With precise positioning and a stable clamping mechanism, safety accidents that may be caused by manual handling are avoided.
