Design of Material Transfer Manipulator in Lamp Lens Processing by Guo Ruiqin, Chen Song, Huang Junbo

“…The lamp lens is an important concentrator in the lamp assembly.The disadvantages of the traditional loading and unloading process of the hot forming process of lamp lens are analyzed.A lightweight and large-stroke loading and unloading manipulator is put forward based on the kinematic analysis of the glass rod.Introduced KaDang mechanism to realize the large stroke motion of the manipulator； added slider-crank mechanism to effectively reduce the space size of manipulator.The mutual movements among the components of KaDang mechanism is used to drive the combined mechanism，which can effectively reduce the number of drives and improve the dynamics performance of manipulator.At last，by using the virtual prototype，the kinematic simulation is carried out and the moving trail of manipulator is got，the correctness and superiority of the scheme are verified.…”
