Problems solved by technology

The vertical rotation uses a four-bar linkage mechanism, and the horizontal rotation uses a pulley pulley mechanism, which is applied to the European Tore Supra device. The movement range of the AIA robotic arm joints in the up and down direction is ±45°, left and right is ±90°, and the angle range The limited, barrel-shaped interior of the connecting rod is very prone to resident radiation contaminants and is not easy to clean
[0006]Open joints are prone to resident radioactive substances; the drive is directly limited by the space at the joint, and it is often difficult to increase the torque; although closed joints are not easy to resident radioactive pollutants, but The rotation range of a rotating shaft is difficult to exceed ±90°

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the operation and maintenance technology of fusion reactors, and in particular relates to a mechanical arm joint with a long arm extending into a cavity for maintenance. Background technique [0002] The fusion experimental device and the fusion reactor teleoperation robot operate in a very harsh environment. After the reactor is shut down, extremely strong gamma radiation will be produced, and there will be radioactive dust and gas in the reactor. In the environment of strong magnetic field and high vacuum, the robotic arm entering the chamber for maintenance must face the challenges of harsh environments such as strong magnetic field, high vacuum, strong radiation, and pollutant contamination in a limited space. Existing robotic arms are all long-armed robotic arms. Due to limited space, their joints are divided into three categories: [0003] The first type is a closed joint in which the driver is directly on the joint shaf...
