Robot system

Abstract

The present invention provides a robot system provided with a detachment mechanism that does not require a drive mechanism or a manual operation during detachment of an operation unit. This robot system is provided with a main body part having a connection end part and a removable operation part configured to be removable, and is provided with a first connection part and a second connection part configured to be capable of housing the first connection part. The second connection portion includes a connection portion main body and a lock control portion configured to be movable. When the firstconnecting part is installed on the second connecting part, the locking control part moves to the outer side locking position so as to lock the connection, and when the locking control part moves to an outer side releasing position different from the outer side locking position under the action of external force, the locking of the connection is released. The main body portion moves the connectionend portion to engage the lock control portion with another portion and further moves the connection end portion in an engagement direction so as to move the lock control portion to an outside release position under the action of a reaction force to release the lock of the connection.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to robotic systems. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, robot systems including articulated robots and the like have been used in various manufacturing processes. It is known that in such a robot system, the manipulator mounted on the front end of the robot arm can replace an operation unit, wherein the operation unit is provided with an operation member such as a grasping claw suitable for an operation object such as a member to be grasped (for example, refer to The following patent documents 1 to 3).

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the above-mentioned conventional robot system, there is a problem in that, in order to detach and attach the operation unit equipped with the operation member, an actuator or a drive mechanism is required, or manual operation is required, so the structure becomes complicated, the cost increases, and automation is difficult.
