This invention discloses a multi-degree-of-freedom
hybrid manipulator and its usage method, relating to the field of
manipulator technology. The
manipulator includes a turntable mechanism, with a
hybrid arm mechanism positioned above the turntable mechanism and a mechanical gripper mechanism connected below it via a buffer mechanism. The turntable mechanism includes a turntable, with a fixed ring rotatably connected to its outer side. Multiple
insertion holes are evenly distributed in a ring along the circumference on the inner side of the fixed ring. A cross-shaped groove is formed inside the turntable, and a trapezoidal block with an upward-sloping bevel is slidably positioned near the end of each groove.
Insertion rods extending to the outer surface of the turntable are mounted on the sides of the trapezoidal blocks, and return springs are sleeved on the
insertion rods. The manipulator of this invention uses
insertion rods inserted into the insertion holes of the fixed ring within the turntable to self-lock the turntable, eliminating the need for the
motor drive end to prevent object rotation, reducing the force on the
motor drive end, and extending the service life of the rotary motor.
