The utility model relates to a mechanical arm and a
robot, the mechanical arm comprises an
elbow, a first arm and a lengthening
assembly, and the
elbow is provided with a driver; one end of the lengthening
assembly is connected with the driver, and the other end of the lengthening
assembly is connected with the first arm so as to transmit motion between the
elbow and the first arm; the lengthening assembly comprises a lengthening arm and a wire passing sleeve, the lengthening arm is arranged in a hollow mode, the wire passing sleeve penetrates through the lengthening arm so that wires can be arranged, a supporting structure is arranged in the lengthening arm, and the supporting structure abuts against at least two different areas of the outer ring circumferential wall of the wire passing sleeve so as to support the wire passing sleeve. The wire passing sleeve is arranged in the extension arm in a penetrating manner and is used for accommodating the
wire rod, so that the shaking of the
wire rod can be reduced, and the probability of frictional wear between the
wire rod and other components is reduced. Furthermore, the supporting structure abuts against the
peripheral wall of the outer ring of the wire passing sleeve, so that the wire passing sleeve has a stable relative position in the extension arm, the position stability of the wire is indirectly improved, and the abrasion of the wire is reduced.
