The present invention discloses a multi-directional mechanical arm and an
industrial robot, comprising a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, a
bellows is arranged between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, a sealed cavity is formed between the first connecting plate, the second connecting plate and the
bellows, a thermal
bimetal plate and a
thermal insulation rubber tube are arranged in the sealed cavity, two ends of the
thermal insulation rubber tube are respectively fixedly connected to the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, the thermal
bimetal plate is inserted into the
thermal insulation rubber tube and two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, a
turbine worm
reducer for driving the rotation of the first connecting plate is arranged, a heating wire is arranged in the thermal
bimetal plate, a mounting hole is arranged on the thermal insulation rubber tube, and a first
air blower for cooling the thermal bimetal plate is arranged in the mounting hole; the multi-directional mechanical arm has a simple transmission structure and fewer cable lines, and the later maintenance cost is reduced.
