Description

Technical field

[0001] This utility model relates to palletizing robot technology, in particular a palletizing robot with an easily adjustable gripper structure. Technical background

[0002] With the rapid development of robotics technology, robots are also finding applications in the palletizing industry. Palletizing robots are a product of this application, combining mechanics and computer programs to increase production efficiency in modern manufacturing. They are used in a variety of ways within the palletizing industry.

[0003] However, the gripper structures of existing palletizing robots are relatively simple and not adjustable. While clamping and suction grippers can handle various products, replacing them requires disassembling the old gripper and installing a new one. This results in high labor costs and low replacement efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention relates to a palletizing robot with an easily adjustable gripper structure. This solves the problem described in the prior art, namely that the gripper structure of palletizing robots is relatively simple and not adjustable.

[0005] To achieve this goal, the invention offers the following technical solution: A palletizing robot with an easily adjustable gripper structure, consisting of: a palletizing robot with a structural adjustment component provided at the gripper position and an auxiliary component mounted outside the robot housing;

[0006] The structural adjustment component comprises a drive rod with a servo motor attached to one end, and a first and second rotary plate mounted on the outer wall of the drive rod. A rubber pad is permanently attached to the inside of the first rotary plate, facing away from the drive rod, and an electric suction cup is attached to the second rotary plate, also facing away from the drive rod.

[0007] Preferably, the auxiliary component comprises a cover plate and a shaft. The upper part of the cover plate is rotatably connected to the housing of the palletizing robot via a joint. A mounting block is fixed to the lower outer surface of the cover plate, and a stop plate is connected to the outer wall of the shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the drive rod is rotatably connected to the clamping plate of the palletizing robot, and the output of the servo motor is rigidly connected to the drive rod.

[0009] Preferably, the servo motor is fixedly connected to the clamping plate of the palletizing robot, and both the first and second rotary plates are rotatably connected to the drive rod.

[0010] Preferably, the first and second turntables are rigidly connected to each other at a 90° angle.

[0011] Preferably, the cover plate is rotatably connected to the housing of the palletizing robot via a joint, and the shaft is rigidly connected to the housing of the palletizing robot.

[0012] Preferably, the stop plate is rotatably connected to the shaft, and the distance between the stop plate and the body of the palletizing robot corresponds to the thickness of the cover plate.

[0013] Compared to the prior art, this utility model offers the following advantages: (1) By adjusting the structural adjustment component, a suction cup gripper can be used if required. The servo motor drives the drive rod, which in turn sets the first and second rotary plates in rotation. The second rotary plate is thereby rotated into the desired position. The electric suction cup moves with it, and the clamping gripper can be replaced by a suction cup gripper. This improves replacement efficiency, reduces labor costs, and increases practicality. (2) By adjusting the auxiliary component, the stop plate of the utility model rotates upwards around the shaft. By clamping the locking block, the cover plate is folded upwards over the hinge and attached to the surface of the palletizing robot housing. When released, the stop plate rotates downwards around the shaft under the influence of gravity and rests against the cover plate, thus securing it. It is not necessary to remove and set aside the cover plate, which reduces the risk of the cover plate being lost or damaged and increases practicality.

Detailed description of the embodiments:

[0016] The technical solutions of this utility model are described in detail and in full below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments naturally represent only a portion of the embodiments of this utility model. All further embodiments that a person skilled in the art can deduce from the embodiments of this utility model without inventive step are covered by the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] Fig. Figure 1 illustrates an embodiment of the present utility model: a palletizing robot with an easily adjustable gripper structure. The palletizing robot 01, the servo motor 22, the electric suction cup 26, and the hinge 32 used in this application are commercially available products. Their operating principles and connection methods are well known to those skilled in the art and are therefore not described in detail here.

[0018] The system comprises: a palletizing robot 01, an adjustment element 02 at the gripper position of the palletizing robot 01, and an auxiliary component 03 on the outside of the palletizing robot 01. The structural adjustment component 02 includes a drive rod 21, at one end of which a servo motor 22 is attached. When a suction cup gripper is required, the servo motor 22 can be activated, causing the drive rod 21 to rotate. The drive rod 21 drives the first and second rotary plates 23 and 24, respectively, and rotates the second rotary plate 24 into the desired position. The electric suction cup 26 moves with it, thus enabling the changeover from a clamping gripper to a suction cup gripper. The outer wall of the drive rod 21 is connected to the first and second rotary plates 24.A rubber buffer 25 is fixed to the inside of the first turntable 23, opposite the drive rod 21, and an electric suction cup 26 is mounted on the second turntable 24, also opposite the drive rod 21.

[0019] Furthermore, the auxiliary component 03 comprises a cover plate 31 and a shaft 34. The limit plate 35 is pivoted upwards around the shaft 34. The mounting block 33 is clamped, causing the cover plate 31 to rotate upwards via the hinge 32 and rest against the surface of the housing of the palletizing robot 01. By releasing the limit plate 35, it rotates downwards around the shaft 34 under the influence of gravity, pressing against the cover plate 31 and thus limiting its position. The upper part of the cover plate 31 is rotatably connected to the housing of the palletizing robot 01 via the hinge 32. A mounting block 33 is fixed to the lower outer surface of the cover plate 31. The outer wall of the shaft 34 is connected to the stop plate 35. After the stop plate 35 is released, it rotates downwards around the shaft 34 under the influence of gravity, presses against the cover plate 31 and thus limits its position.

[0020] The drive rod 21 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate of the palletizing robot 01, and the output of the servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 21. The servo motor 22 provides the drive force; when the servo motor 22 starts, the drive rod 21 is driven by its output. The drive rod 21 then drives the first turntable 23 and the second turntable 24, moving the second turntable 24 to a predefined position. The electric suction cup 26 follows the movement of the drive rod 26, thus enabling the clamping gripper to be converted into a suction cup gripper.

[0021] The servomotor 22 is rigidly connected to the clamping plate of the palletizing robot 01, thus stabilizing its position. Both the first rotary plate 23 and the second rotary plate 24 are rotatably connected to the drive rod 21. If a suction cup gripper is required, the servomotor 22 can be activated. Its output power drives the drive rod 21, which in turn rotates the first rotary plate 23 and the second rotary plate 24, moving the second rotary plate 24 into the desired position. The electric suction cup 26 follows the movement of the suction cup, thus enabling the clamping plate gripper to be converted into a suction cup gripper.

[0022] The rotary plates 23 and 24 are also rigidly connected to each other at a 90° angle. If a suction cup gripper is required, the servo motor 22 can be activated. Its output power drives the drive rod 21, which in turn rotates the rotary plates 23 and 24 and moves the rotary plate 24 into the desired position. The electric suction cup 26 follows this movement, thus enabling the conversion of the clamping gripper into a suction cup gripper.

[0023] The cover plate 31 is rotatably connected to the housing of the palletizing robot 01 via the hinge 32. When the limiting plate 35 is rotated upwards around the shaft 34 and the locking block 33 is clamped, the cover plate 31 rotates upwards via the hinge 32 and rests against the surface of the housing. By releasing the limiting plate 35, it rotates downwards around the shaft 34 under the influence of gravity, presses against the cover plate 31, and thus limits its position. The shaft 34 is rigidly connected to the housing of the palletizing robot 01, thereby stabilizing its position.

[0024] The stop plate 35 is rotatably connected to the shaft 34. The distance between the stop plate 35 and the housing of the palletizing robot 01 corresponds to the thickness of the cover plate 31. After the stop plate 35 is released, it rotates downwards around the shaft 34 under the influence of gravity, presses against the cover plate 31, and thus limits its position.

[0025] Operating principle: During operation, the limiting plate 35 is first rotated upwards around the shaft 34. The fixing block 33 is then clamped in place, and the cover plate 31 is rotated upwards via the hinge 32 so that it rests against the surface of the housing of the palletizing robot 01. After the limiting plate 35 is released, it rotates downwards around the shaft 34 under the influence of gravity and presses against the cover plate 31, thus enabling inspection of the interior of the housing of the palletizing robot 01. If a suction cup gripper is required, the servo motor 22 can be activated. Its output power drives the drive rod 21, which in turn sets the first and second rotary plates 23 and 24, respectively, into rotation. The second rotary plate 24 is rotated into the desired position, and the electric suction cup 26 follows its movement. This allows the clamping gripper to be converted into a suction cup gripper.This is the complete operating principle of this utility model.

[0026] It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the embodiments described above and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the essence or the fundamental features of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments are to be understood in every respect as exemplary and not limiting, and the scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and not by the preceding description. Thus, all variations that fall within the meaning and scope of protection of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed by this invention. Reference numerals in the claims are not to be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection.
