Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick-change plate and quick-change gun station technology, specifically a quick-change plate and quick-change gun station. Background Technology

[0002] A quick-change tray (also known as a tool changer or quick-change device) is a flexible hub connecting the end effector of an industrial robot to the executing tool. A quick-change tool station is a workstation assembly that integrates the quick-change tray system, enabling precise docking and switching of multiple tools. Together, they constitute the robot's "flexible operation center." A quick-change tray quick-change tool station allows for rapid loading and unloading with precise positioning during operation. Its height is also customizable. It features low cost and a modular design. Traditional quick-change placement seats have fixed positions and higher costs, but existing quick-change tray quick-change tool stations still have certain drawbacks. While traditional quick-change tray and quick-change gun station systems are widely used, these systems are typically welded or bolted in place and their height is not adjustable. When the production line changes robot models or process requirements, the existing gun station cannot adapt to the working height of the new robot, requiring remanufacturing and installation. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, failing to meet the demands of flexible production. Furthermore, the simple tray or bracket lacks precise positioning capabilities, leading to significant tool placement deviations. This not only reduces gun changing efficiency but also carries the risk of docking failure or damage to the quick-change tray interface, frequently causing problems for users. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution, a quick-change disc quick-change gun station, including a mounting base 1 and a height adjustment mechanism 12. The mounting base 1 is fitted with a fixing sleeve 2, and a support column 3 is slidably connected inside the fixing sleeve 2. A connecting block 5 is provided in the middle section of the support column 3, and a bearing seat 6 is provided on the upper part of the support column 3. A placement base plate 7 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the bearing seat 6, and the placement base plate 7 and the support column 3 are slidably connected through each other. Three quick-change placement racks 8 are provided on the top surface of the substrate 7. The quick-change placement racks 8 are fixed to the substrate 7 by fixing bolts 11. Positioning pins 9 and positioning detectors 10 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the quick-change placement racks 8.

[0015] The mounting base 1 and the fixing sleeve 2 are fixed by positioning bolts, the connecting block 5 and the support column 3 are fixed by positioning bolts, and the lower part of the support column 3 is provided with a groove 4.

[0016] The mounting base 1, fixing sleeve 2, support column 3, groove 4 and shaft seat 6 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the base plate 7. The connecting block 5 and the two sets of support columns 3 are connected by a through sliding connection.

[0017] The height adjustment mechanism 12 includes a fixed plate 1201, a slide 1202, a slide plate 1203, a wedge-shaped block 1204, a slide rod 1205, a spring 1206, and a pull rod 1207. The fixed plate 1201 is provided between the two sets of fixed sleeves 2.

[0018] The fixing plate 1201 and the fixing sleeve 2 are fixedly installed. The fixing plate 1201 has two sets of sliding grooves 1202 inside. The sliding plate 1203 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 1202. The wedge-shaped block 1204 is fixedly installed on the sliding plate 1203.

[0019] A slide rod 1205 is slidably connected to the slide plate 1203. The other end of the slide rod 1205 is fixedly installed to the fixed plate 1201. A spring 1206 is sleeved on the slide rod 1205. A pull rod 1207 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the slide plate 1203, and the pull rod 1207 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 1201.

[0020] Working principle: When using a quick-change tray quick-change gun station, firstly, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the placement base plate 7 to adapt to different robots or tools, the operator simultaneously pulls down two levers 1207. The levers 1207 drive the slide plate 1203 to slide along the slide bar 1205 in the slide groove 1202 of the fixed plate 1201, compressing the spring 1206. The movement of the slide plate 1203 causes the wedge-shaped locking block 1204 on it to disengage from the groove 4 at the lower part of the support column 3. At this time, the locking of the support column 3 in the fixed sleeve 2 is released, and the operator can freely move the support column 3 up and down, thereby driving the entire placement base plate 7 to rise and fall to the required height. After the approximate height is determined, the levers 1207 are released. Under the action of the return spring force of the spring 1206, the slide plate 1203 returns to its original position, and the wedge-shaped locking block 1204 re-locks into the groove 4 at the corresponding height, achieving a fast and stable mechanical locking. Tools equipped with corresponding quick-change trays are placed on quick-change rack 8. The positioning holes on the tools engage with the positioning pins 9 on the quick-change rack 8 to ensure that the tools are placed accurately and consistently each time, laying the foundation for automatic robot grasping. When the robot brings the tool-side quick-change tray to store or grasp tools, the position detector 10 integrated on the quick-change rack 8 will detect whether the tool has been accurately placed or removed, and feed this signal back to the robot control system. This signal is crucial to ensuring the safety and reliability of the tool changing process. The system will only execute the next instruction after receiving the confirmation signal of "placed in place" or "removed" to prevent misoperation and complete a series of tasks. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
