Abstract

An automatic picking fixture device: a fixture locked with a mechanical arm and includes a coupling orifice, a motor, a rotor, and a gear. The fixture includes four elongated orifices and two movable holders. The two movable holders have four through orifices corresponding to the gear, four passing orifices, and two toothed sections received in the four through orifices and meshing with and driving the gear. The four passing orifices of the fixture is configured to lock with the four pneumatic cylinders or four servo motors, and the four pneumatic cylinders or the four servo motors are configured to push four jaws outward or inward, the four jaws include four symmetrical clamping grooves configured to clamp at least one material. The four racks are fixed on the top of the fixture, and a respective rack has two rollers rolling along a respective elongated orifice.

Claims (14)

1. An automatic picking fixture device comprising:

a fixture locked with a mechanical arm and including a coupling orifice defined on a center of the fixture, a motor mounted on a top of the fixture and corresponding to the coupling orifice, and a rotor of the motor rotatably connected in the coupling orifice, a bottom of the rotor being screwed with a gear;

the fixture including four elongated orifices formed on two peripheral sides of the fixture parallelly, two movable holders mounted on two sides of a bottom of the fixture, the two movable holders having four through orifices defined on two inner walls thereof and corresponding to the gear, four passing orifices formed on two outer walls of the two movable holders, and two toothed sections received in the four through orifices meshing with and driven by the gear;

the four passing orifices of the fixture configured to lock with the four pneumatic cylinders or four servo motors, and the four pneumatic cylinders or the four servo motors configured to push four jaws outward or inward, the four jaws including four symmetrical clamping grooves defined therein and configured to clamp at least one material;

the two movable holders of the fixture including four racks corresponding to the four elongated orifice, wherein the four racks are fixed on the top of the fixture, and a respective rack has two rollers disposed on two sides thereof and rolling along a respective elongated orifice.

2. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fixing holder has multiple locking orifices defined thereon and configured to lock with the mechanical arm.

3. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 1 being surrounded by a structure, wherein the structure includes: a picking mechanism, two baking mechanisms, two cold forming mechanisms, a collection mechanism, and a control apparatus are arranged around the mechanical arm circularly.

4. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the baking mechanism and the two cold forming mechanisms are configured to thermoplastic cold mold the at least one material.

5. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 1 being surrounded by a structure, wherein the structure includes a mechanical arm, a picking mechanism, two baking mechanisms, two cold forming mechanisms, a collection mechanism, and a control apparatus are arranged linearly.

6. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a picking mechanism, two hot forming mechanisms, a collection mechanism, and a control apparatus are arranged around the mechanical arm circularly.

7. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the two hot forming mechanisms are configured to thermoplastic mold the at least one material.

8. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 1 being surrounded by a structure, wherein the structure includes a picking mechanism, two hot forming mechanisms, a collection mechanism, and a control apparatus are arranged around the mechanical arm circularly.

9. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the two hot forming mechanisms are configured to thermoplastically mold the at least one material.

10. The automatic picking fixture device as claimed in claim 1 located beside a structure, wherein the structure includes a picking mechanism, two hot forming mechanisms, a collection mechanism, and a control apparatus are arranged around the mechanical arm linearly.
