Abstract
A gripper having a grip tip for parts having different shapes is provided for a surface mount device. The gripper includes a piston installed inside of a through hole formed in a holder, and lifted or lowered by air flown in/out through the through hole, a moving unit connected to fixed blocks of the holder by a connection device configured to increase or decrease an interval according to the lifting or lowering operation of the piston, and multiple grip tips configured to support at least three points of a parts having a different shape.
Claims21
In a surface mount device including a holder mounted in a socket unit to be adhered closely to a socket shaft by an elastic force of an elastic body connected to the socket shaft, a grip tip of a gripper for a parts having a different shape adapted to the surface mount device comprising:
- a piston installed inside of a through hole formed at the holder, and lifted or lowered by air flown in/out through the through hole;
- a moving unit adjacently positioned to an inner slanted surface of a slanted member formed on a bottom surface of the piston, and connected to fixed blocks of the holder by a connection means for increasing or decreasing an interval according to the lifting or lowering operation of the piston;
- and
- a plurality of grip tips provided to moving blocks of the moving unit through a fixed member, for supporting at least three points of a parts having a different shape.
A holder for a surface mount device configured to be mounted in a socket shaft of a socket unit of the surface mount device by an elastic force of an elastic body connected to the socket shaft, the holder comprising:
- a piston configured to be installed inside of a through hole formed in a main body of the holder, and configured to be lifted or lowered by the flow of air in/out through the through hole;
- a moving unit configured to be positioned adjacent to an inner slanted surface of a slanted member formed on a bottom surface of the piston, and connected to the main body of the holder by a connection device configured to increase or decrease an interval between moving members of the moving unit according to the lifting or lowering of the piston;
- and
- a plurality of grip tips configured to be attached to the moving members of the moving unit and to support at least three points on parts having different shapes.
A gripper for gripping parts having different shapes, the gripper comprising:
- a main body;
- a piston instailed in a through hole formed in the main body, and configured to be lifted or lowered by air flown in/out through the through hole;
- a moving unit positioned adjacent to the piston and having at least one surface in sliding communication with a slanted surface formed on a bottom surface of the piston;
- and
- a plurality of grip tips attached to the moving unit and configured to support at least three points of parts having different shapes, wherein an interval between the grip tips increases or decreases according to the lifting or lowering operation of the piston.
