Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a gripping mechanism for manufacturing automotive center console glasses cases. Background Technology

[0002] The gripping mechanism for automotive center console glasses case production is a key piece of equipment in the automated production line of automotive parts, specifically used for gripping and transporting center console glasses cases. It is mainly installed at the execution end of the robotic arm and completes the transfer of glasses cases between various production processes such as injection molding, grinding, assembly, and testing through automated control. Its structural design directly affects production efficiency and product quality stability.

[0003] In existing technologies, the gripping mechanism used in the production of automotive center console glasses cases typically adopts a structure of "drive mechanism + symmetrical grippers": a cylinder or servo motor is used as the drive source, and two symmetrically arranged grippers are driven to move synchronously through linkage or gear transmission to achieve the gripping and release of the glasses case. The core principle of this structure is to use the two grippers to apply clamping force from opposite sides of the glasses case, fix the glasses case through friction, and then cooperate with the robotic arm to complete the movement operation.

[0004] However, the existing structure has obvious defects in practical applications: Since the glasses case in the car center console is mostly made of plastic injection molding, its side wall thickness is relatively thin (usually 1mm to 2mm). When the two grippers of the existing gripping mechanism directly apply clamping force to the two side walls of the glasses case, the clamping force will be concentrated on the contact part between the grippers and the side walls. This can easily cause the thin-walled structure to dent inward under pressure, forming permanent deformation. This deformation will not only affect the appearance quality of the glasses case, but may also cause functional problems such as excessive assembly gap between it and the center console panel and obstructed opening and closing function.

[0005] Therefore, it is essential to invent a gripping mechanism for the production of automotive center console glasses cases. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the above problems, this utility model proposes a gripping mechanism for the production of automotive center console glasses cases. The technical solution used is as follows:

[0007] A gripping mechanism for producing automotive center console glasses cases includes a mounting plate, fixtures, a drive mechanism, a support frame, and a connecting frame. Several fixtures are evenly mounted on the mounting plate, and a support frame is bolted to the upper side of the mounting plate. A drive mechanism is fixed to the support frame, with its actuator end connected to the fixture input end. A connecting frame is bolted to the support frame, and the connecting frame is bolted to the actuator end of a robotic arm. The drive mechanism is electrically connected to an external production computer via a data cable.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamp includes a cam and a first gear. There are two cams, which are symmetrically arranged. There are two first gears, which are meshed with each other and fixed to their respective cams. One of the first gears is meshed with the output end of the drive mechanism. This arrangement enables the clamping of a single side wall of the eyeglass case under the drive of the drive mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface of the cam is covered with a rubber sleeve, and the outer surface of the rubber sleeve is provided with several protrusions. This design can prevent damage to the glasses case and prevent the glasses case from falling off.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a servo motor, a rotating shaft, and a second gear. The servo motor is fixed to the support frame by bolts, and the output end of the servo motor is fixed to the rotating shaft. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the mounting plate and the support frame respectively through support bearings. The second gear is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the second gear is meshed with the input end of the fixture. The servo motor is electrically connected to an external production computer through a data cable. This configuration enables the fixture to perform corresponding actions.

[0011] Furthermore, a camera is fixed to the center of the lower side of the mounting plate with bolts. The camera is electrically connected to an external production computer via a data cable. This arrangement facilitates subsequent product traceability.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective shell is fixed to the outer side of the mounting plate by bolts, wherein the lower end of the protective shell is on the same plane as the lower end of the clamp. This arrangement can prevent collisions between obstacles and the eyeglass case during the movement of the eyeglass case.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The design of this invention, through the cooperation of the drive mechanism and several clamps, can clamp the side wall of the eyeglass case (a single clamp clamps a single side wall of the eyeglass case), thus preventing the eyeglass case from deforming. Secondly, when the eyeglass case is moved by the robotic arm, if the movement trajectory is incorrect, the protective shell will collide with the obstacle first, thus preventing the eyeglass case from being damaged due to the collision.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model is a gripping mechanism for producing automotive center console glasses cases, including a mounting plate 1, a clamp 2, a drive mechanism 3, a support frame 4, and a connecting frame 5. Several clamps 2 are evenly mounted on the mounting plate 1, and the support frame 4 is fixed to the upper side of the mounting plate 1 by bolts. The drive mechanism 3 is fixed on the support frame 4, and the execution end of the drive mechanism 3 is connected to the input end of the clamp 2.

The drive mechanism 3 is electrically connected to an external production computer via a data cable.

[0025] Specifically, the clamp 2 includes a cam 21 and a first gear 22. There are two cams 21, which are symmetrically arranged. There are two first gears 22, which are meshed with each other and fixed to the corresponding cams 21. One of the first gears 22 is meshed with the output end of the drive mechanism 3. With this arrangement, one of the first gears 22 can rotate under the drive of the drive mechanism 3 and, in cooperation with the other first gear 22, cause the two cams 21 to move accordingly, thereby clamping a single side wall of the eyeglass case through the two cams 21.

[0026] Specifically, the outer surface of the cam 21 is covered with a rubber sleeve 23, and the outer surface of the rubber sleeve 23 is provided with several protrusions. This arrangement can prevent the cam 21 from damaging the glasses case and increase the friction between the cam 21 and the glasses case, thereby preventing the glasses case from falling off.

[0027] Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 includes a servo motor 31, a rotating shaft 32, and a second gear 33. The servo motor 31 is fixed to the support frame 4 by bolts. The output end of the servo motor 31 is fixed to the rotating shaft 32. The two ends of the rotating shaft 32 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1 and the support frame 4 respectively through support bearings. The second gear 33 is fixed on the rotating shaft 32, and the second gear 33 is meshed with the input end of the fixture 2. The servo motor 31 is electrically connected to an external production computer through a data cable. With this configuration, the servo motor 31 can drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate under the drive of the external production computer. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 32, the fixture 2 can be driven to perform corresponding actions through the second gear 33.

[0028] Specifically, a camera 6 is fixed to the center of the lower side of the mounting plate 1 with bolts. The camera 6 is electrically connected to an external production computer via a data cable. With this setup, the camera 6 can capture images of the working status of the fixture 2 in this device and transmit the captured data to the external production computer, thereby facilitating subsequent product traceability.

[0029] Specifically, a protective shell 7 is fixed to the outer side of the mounting plate 1 by bolts, wherein the lower end of the protective shell 7 is on the same plane as the lower end of the clamp 2. This arrangement can prevent collisions between obstacles and the eyeglass case during the movement of the eyeglass case.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model is a gripping mechanism for producing automotive center console glasses cases. Its working principle is as follows: after the device is moved onto the glasses case by the robotic arm, the drive mechanism 3 can drive several clamps 2 to move accordingly, thereby making the clamps 2 clamp the glasses case. Then, the robotic arm moves the glasses case and the device to the corresponding position. Then, through the cooperation of the drive mechanism 3 and the clamps 2, the glasses case is placed in the corresponding position.
