Abstract

A handling apparatus for a moving part may include a frame connected with a separate carrying unit, an electromagnet unit disposed ahead of the frame and coming in contact with the moving part, and a damping unit disposed between the frame and the electromagnet unit and absorbing shock due to contact with the moving part. The handling apparatus may further include a sliding unit disposed between the frame and the electromagnet unit. The damping unit may be disposed on the sliding unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A handling apparatus for a moving part, comprising:
a frame connected with a separate carrying unit;
an electromagnet unit disposed ahead of the frame and coming in contact with the moving part;
a damping unit disposed between the frame and the electromagnet unit and absorbing shock due to contact with the moving part; and
a sliding unit disposed between the frame and the electromagnet unit, wherein the damping unit is disposed on the sliding unit,
wherein the electromagnet unit includes:
a mounting bracket having an electromagnet;
a base mounted with the mounting bracket and connected with the sliding unit; and
a rotating unit disposed on both sides of the base and connected with the base to enable the mounting bracket to rotate.

2. The handling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electromagnet has a shock-absorbing member around an outer side of the electromagnet.

3. The handling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotating unit includes:
housings disposed on both sides of the base and each mounted with a bearing therein, and
rotating mounters, each respective rotating mounter having one side coupled to the mounting bracket and the other side coupled to the bearing of a corresponding housing.

4. The handling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sliding unit includes:
a first shaft that has one end fitted in the frame and the other end coupled to a first coupling portion formed on the base; and
a second shaft that is spaced apart from the first shaft and has one end fitted in the frame and the other end coupled to a second coupling portion formed on the base.

5. The handling apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the first and second shafts are fitted in the frame through linear ball bearings.

6. The handling apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first and second shafts are rotatably hinged to the first and second coupling portions formed on the base.

7. The handling apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the second coupling portion is formed at a center portion of the base.

8. The handling apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the second shaft has a slot formed at the other end coupled to the second coupling portion and is hinged to the second coupling portion through the slot.

9. The handling apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the damping unit includes:
a first spring disposed on the first shaft of the sliding unit; and
a second spring disposed on the second shaft of the sliding unit.

10. The handling apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the first and second springs are held around the first and second shafts, respectively, by upper and lower spring seats.

11. The handling apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first and second springs have different spring constants.

12. The handling apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the electromagnet unit is declined toward the first shaft.

13. A handling apparatus for a moving part, comprising:
a frame connected with a separate carrying unit;
an electromagnet unit disposed ahead of the frame and coming in contact with the moving part;
a sliding unit disposed between the frame and the electromagnet unit and sliding the electromagnet unit forward/backward; and
a damping unit disposed on the sliding unit and absorbing shock due to contact with the moving part,
wherein the electromagnet unit includes:
a mounting bracket having an electromagnet with a shock-absorbing member around an outer side of the electromagnet;
a base mounted with the mounting bracket and connected with the sliding unit; and
a rotating unit disposed on both sides of the base and connected with the base to enable the mounting bracket to rotate.

14. The handling apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the sliding unit includes:
a first shaft that has one end fitted in the frame and the other end coupled to a first coupling portion formed on the base; and
a second shaft that is spaced apart from the first shaft and has one end fitted in the frame and the other end coupled to a second coupling portion formed on the base, wherein
the first and second shafts are fitted in the frame through linear ball bearings.

15. The handling apparatus of claim 14 , wherein:
the first and second shafts are rotatably hinged to first and second coupling portions protruding on the base toward the frame;
the second shaft is hinged to the second coupling portion through a slot formed at the other end coupled to the second coupling portion; and
the second coupling portion is formed at a center portion of the base.

16. The handling apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the damping unit includes:
a first spring disposed on the first shaft of the sliding unit; and
a second spring disposed on the second shaft of the sliding unit, wherein
the first and second springs are held around the first and second shafts, respectively, by upper and lower spring seats and have different spring constants.

17. The handling apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the electromagnet unit is declined toward the first shaft.
