Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a balancing device for a rotating component, in particular to a bidirectional balancing device. Background Art
[0002] In the field of mechanical engineering, there are often some rotating parts that can reciprocate in the vertical plane, such as a rotating bracket that can adjust the seat back angle, a mechanical arm that can reciprocate in the vertical plane, etc. These rotating parts are generally equipped with power devices and transmission devices, such as drive motors and transmission shafts, so that the rotating parts can rotate within a certain angle range. During the rotation of the rotating parts in the vertical plane, the height of the center of gravity will change, so it is generally necessary to set a balancing device on the fixed base so that the rotating parts can remain stable during operation.
[0003] Existing electric seat back angle adjustment devices are generally used in car seats or office seats, etc. They generally use a small motor as a driving device and a rigid locking device to lock its position without any energy storage mechanism. When the center of gravity of the seat back moves from high to low, its gravitational potential energy is completely lost and cannot be effectively utilized; during the process of the center of gravity of the seat back changing, its kinetic energy is completely driven by the motor, which consumes a lot of electricity. On the other hand, during the rotation of the seat back, a large pressure is formed on the base of the seat back rotation device, which is easy to cause damage to the components. In order to ensure the stability of the seat back rotation, the base bracket and fasteners of the back angle adjustment device need to be made of excellent rigid materials, resulting in high component costs.
[0004] In the prior art, in order to ensure the stability of the system, the mechanical arm that reciprocates in the vertical plane is generally installed on a horizontally arranged balancing device to maintain the torque balance. When the center of gravity of the mechanical arm moves from a high place to a low place, a large gravity torque will be generated, which may cause the base of the mechanical arm to be unstable. Therefore, an elastic device needs to be set in the balancing device. After the elastic device is deformed, the gravitational potential energy of the mechanical arm can be converted into the elastic potential energy of the elastic device; when the center of gravity of the mechanical arm moves from a low place to a high place, the elastic device returns to its original state, and the elastic potential energy of the elastic device is converted into the gravitational potential energy of the mechanical arm, which can reduce the energy required to drive the motor load, which can not only maintain the stability of the system, but also reduce energy consumption.
[0005] The disadvantage of the existing mechanical arm balancing device is that, since the mechanical arm may rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, at least two (or two groups) of springs in different directions are required to achieve torque balance of reciprocating bidirectional motion. Most of the existing balancing devices are set separately from the drive device, which requires additional space for installation, occupies a large space, and has a complex connection structure, poor reliability and stability, which seriously affects the service life and work efficiency of the equipment.

[0072] The following describes the preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the specification to prove that the present invention can be implemented. The embodiment can fully introduce the present invention to those skilled in the art, making its technical content clearer and easier to understand. The present invention can be embodied in many different forms of embodiments, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments mentioned in the text.
[0073] In the drawings, components with the same structure are indicated by the same numerical labels, and components with similar structures or functions are indicated by similar numerical labels. The size and thickness of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrarily shown, and the present invention does not limit the size and thickness of each component.
[0074] The directional terms mentioned in the present invention, such as up, down, front, back, inside, outside, inner, outer, side, top, bottom, top end, bottom end, end, clockwise, counterclockwise, etc., are only directions in the drawings, which are only used to explain and illustrate the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0075] When some components are described as being "on" another component, the component may be directly placed on the other component; there may also be an intermediate component on which the component is placed, and the intermediate component is placed on the other component. When a component is described as being "mounted on" or "connected to" another component, the two may be understood to be directly "mounted on" or "connected", or one component may be indirectly "mounted on" or "connected to" another component via an intermediate component.
[0076] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the bidirectional balancing device of the present invention includes a first rotating device 100 , a second rotating device 200 , at least one scroll elastic member 300 , a transmission device 400 , a stabilizing device 500 , a rotating component 600 and a driving device 700 .
[0077] One end of the transmission device 400 is connected to the first rotating device 100 and / or the second rotating device 200, and the other end thereof is connected to an external rotating component 600. The rotating component 600 refers to a component that can reciprocate within a certain angle range, including but not limited to a mechanical arm and a seat back. In the present invention, the rotating component 600 can be a component directly connected to the transmission device 400, or a component indirectly connected to the transmission device 400 through other mechanisms.
[0078] For the rotating parts directly connected to the transmission device, the plane where its rotation path is located is perpendicular to the straight line where the central axis of the spiral elastic member 300 is located. In the two embodiments of the present invention described below, the central axes of the spiral elastic members (volute springs) are both horizontally arranged, and the planes where the rotation paths of the rotating parts (mechanical arms, seat backs) are located are both vertical planes. When the rotating part rotates in a vertical plane, the bidirectional balancing device of the present invention is used to achieve the deadweight balance of the rotating part; when the rotating part rotates in a horizontal plane, the center of gravity of the rotating part does not change, and the bidirectional balancing device is used to achieve the load balance of the rotating part; when the rotating part rotates in other planes, the bidirectional balancing device can be used to achieve both the deadweight balance of the rotating part and the load balance.
[0079] The rotating component 600 can rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction in a vertical plane under the action of the driving device 700 (such as a driving motor). In this article, the clockwise direction of the line of sight is the direction facing the rotating component 600, and the entire rotation process of the external rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) of this embodiment can be seen. Since the rotating component 600 is fixedly connected to the transmission device 400, when the rotating component 600 rotates, the transmission device 400 is driven to rotate in the same direction, thereby driving the first rotating device 100 or the second rotating device 200 to rotate.
[0080] The first rotating device 100 and the second rotating device 200 are both mounted on the stabilizing device 500; the second rotating device 200 is disposed outside the first rotating device 100, and the two can rotate independently without interfering with each other. The scroll elastic member 300 is spiral-shaped, with its inner end connected to the first rotating device 100 and its outer end connected to the second rotating device 200. When either rotating device rotates and the other rotating device remains stationary, the two ends of the scroll elastic member 300 will be subjected to a certain pressure, causing it to deform.
[0081] When the first rotating device 100 is driven by the transmission device 400 to rotate, the second rotating device 200 remains stationary, the scroll-shaped elastic member 300 is deformed, and a first restoring torque is generated; when the second rotating device 200 is driven by the transmission device 400 to rotate, the first rotating device 100 remains stationary, the scroll-shaped elastic member 300 is deformed, and a second restoring torque is generated; the first restoring torque is opposite to the second restoring torque.
[0082] When the scroll elastic member is forced to open or contract, a certain restoring torque will be generated to cause it to return to its original shape. When the scroll elastic member is opened, a torque to contract inwards will be generated; when the scroll elastic member is forced to contract, a torque to open outwards will be generated; in these two cases, the directions of the restoring torques generated by the scroll elastic member are opposite.
[0083] Example 1
[0084] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, Example 1 is a bidirectional balancing device for a reciprocating robot arm, the rotating component 600 is a robot arm that can reciprocate in a vertical plane, and the driving device 700 is a driving motor.
[0085] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the first rotating device 100 includes a first transmission shaft 101, and the scroll-shaped elastic member 300 is sleeved on the outside of the first transmission shaft 101. The outer wall of the first transmission shaft 101 is provided with a first inner end clamping groove 102, and the first inner end clamping groove 102 is a linear groove, which is used to clamp the inner end of the scroll-shaped elastic member 300. A protruding first clamping block 103 is provided on the surface of one end of the first transmission shaft 101, and a protruding second clamping block 104 is provided on the surface of the other end. In this embodiment, the first clamping block 103 and the second clamping block 104 are rectangular blocks, preferably long strip-shaped clamping blocks.
[0086] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the second rotating device 200 includes a first housing 201, which is an annular sleeve, sleeved outside the scroll elastic member 300. The first housing 201 is provided with a first outer end snap-in 202, which passes through the tube wall of the annular sleeve and is used to snap-in the outer end of the scroll elastic member 300.
[0087] The second rotating device 200 also includes a first rotating disk 203 and a second rotating disk 204. The first rotating disk 203 is fixedly connected to one side of the first housing 201, and the second rotating disk 204 is fixedly connected to the other side of the first housing 201. Specifically, the first rotating disk 203 and the second rotating disk 204 are fixedly connected to the pipe openings at both ends of the annular sleeve. The surfaces of the first rotating disk 203 and the second rotating disk 204 on the side close to the first housing 201 are their inner surfaces, and the surfaces on the side away from the first housing 201 are their outer surfaces. A first rotating disk through hole 2031 is provided at the center of the first rotating disk 203; a second rotating disk through hole 2041 is provided at the center of the second rotating disk 204. The first transmission shaft 101 passes through the first turntable through hole 2031, the spiral elastic member 300 and the second turntable through hole 2041 in sequence. The central axes of the first turntable through hole 2031 and the second turntable through hole 2041 are on the same straight line as the axis of the first transmission shaft 101. The diameters of the first turntable through hole 2031 and the second turntable through hole 2041 are slightly larger than the diameter of the first transmission shaft 101.
[0088] The second rotating device 200 further includes a first turntable stopper 2032 and a second turntable stopper 2042 . The first turntable stopper 2032 protrudes from the surface of the first turntable 203 away from the first housing 201 ; the second turntable stopper 2042 protrudes from the surface of the second turntable 204 away from the first housing.
[0089] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the spiral elastic member 300 is preferably a plane spiral spring or a torsion spring. The plane spiral spring includes a spiral spring sheet 301, and the spring sheet 301 is located between two parallel planes. The two ends of the spring sheet 301 are respectively formed into a spring inner end 302 and a spring outer end 303, and the spring inner end 302 is engaged with the first inner end slot 102 of the first rotating device 100, and the spring outer end 303 is engaged with the first outer end slot 202 of the second rotating device 200.
[0090] In this embodiment, when the number of spiral elastic members 300 is more than two, the winding direction of all spiral elastic members 300 is the same, specifically, the spring sheets 301 of all spiral elastic members 300 are wound in the same direction. When more than two spiral elastic members 300 are deformed at the same time, the direction of the restoring torque generated by all spiral elastic members 300 is the same. Since each spiral elastic member 300 can generate two restoring torques in opposite directions under different force directions, only one or one group of spiral springs can achieve the effects of bidirectional buffering and energy storage in the present invention. Compared with the technical solution of simultaneously setting two groups of spiral springs with opposite winding directions in the prior art, the present invention can simplify the structure, reduce the volume, effectively reduce the production cost and save space.
[0091] The inner ends 302 of all the spiral elastic members 300 are in corresponding positions and can be arranged on the same straight line; the outer ends 303 of all the spiral elastic members 300 are in corresponding positions and can be arranged on the same straight line. The cross-sectional shape of the spiral elastic member 300, specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the spring sheet, includes but is not limited to rectangular, circular or elliptical. The spring sheet 301 of a common spiral spring is generally in the form of a thin sheet, and its cross-sectional shape is rectangular, and the ratio of its length to width is greater than 10. Common torsion springs are generally formed by twisting a thinner metal wire into a spiral structure. For ease of processing, its cross-section is mostly circular or elliptical.
[0092] When the number of spiral elastic members 300 is more than two, an isolation ring is arranged between two adjacent spiral elastic members 300. The isolation ring is made of elastic wear-resistant material (such as rubber) to prevent the spiral elastic member 300 from colliding with other spiral elastic members 300 or other components during the process of deformation or recovery, thereby affecting the deformation energy storage effect.
[0093] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, the transmission device 400 includes a transmission plate 401 and a limiting sleeve 402 . The transmission plate 401 is circular as a whole, and one side surface of the transmission plate 401 is tangent to the outer surface of the first turntable 203 . The limiting sleeve 402 protrudes from the surface of the transmission plate 401 , and the limiting sleeve 402 is fixedly connected to the rotating component 600 .
[0094] The edge of the transmission plate 401 is provided with a first arc-shaped bayonet 4011, and the first turntable stopper 2032 is snapped into the first arc-shaped bayonet 4011. The bottom of the first arc-shaped bayonet 4011 is an arc, and the center of the circle where the arc is located coincides with the center of the transmission plate 401, and the central angle corresponding to the arc is 90 degrees.

[0097] The length of the limiting sleeve 402 is greater than the thickness of the first clamping block 103. When the first clamping block 103 is inserted into the first limiting hole 403, there is still a part of space in the first limiting hole 403 away from the first turntable 203, which can be used to install the first transmission shaft for outputting power of the rotating component 600. The shape of the front end clamping part of the first transmission shaft corresponds to the shape of the first limiting hole 403.
[0098] like Figure 3 , Figures 8-9 As shown, the stabilizing device 500 includes a first support plate 501, a second support plate 502 and a horizontal base 503. The first support plate 501 and the second support plate 502 are vertically fixed to the left and right ends of the horizontal base 503. The first support plate 501 and the second support plate 502 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other.
[0099] The horizontal base 503 is preferably a rectangular base, and the horizontal base 503 is provided with a plurality of mounting screw holes, and the horizontal base 503 can be fixedly mounted on the ground or other bases by fasteners, thereby ensuring that the system formed by the robotic arm and the balancing device is sufficiently stable without deviation or shaking.
[0100] A limiting sleeve mounting hole 5011 is provided at the center of the first support plate 501, which is sleeved on the outside of the limiting sleeve 402. The limiting sleeve 402 is connected to an external rotating component 600 through the limiting sleeve mounting hole 5011. When the rotating component 600 rotates in a vertical plane, the limiting sleeve 402 can also be driven to rotate.
[0101] A second limiting hole 5021 is provided at the center of the second support plate 502, and the second clamping block 104 is clamped into the second limiting hole 5021; two second limiting blocks 5023 and 5024 protruding inwardly are provided in the second limiting hole 5021, which are used to limit the rotation range of the second clamping block 104.

[0102] A second arc-shaped bayonet 5022 is provided at the edge of the second support plate 502, and the second turntable stopper 2042 is snapped into the second arc-shaped bayonet 5022. The arc center line of the second arc-shaped bayonet 5022 is an arc line, the center of the circle where the arc line is located coincides with the center of the second support plate 502, and the center angle corresponding to the arc line is 90 degrees.
[0103] The stabilizing device 500 may further include a protective cover (not shown), the bottom of which is mounted to the horizontal base 503. The protective cover covers the outside of the first rotating device 100 and the second rotating device 200 to protect the first rotating device 100 and the second rotating device 200 from being disturbed by external factors during rotation.
[0104] In this embodiment, the first arc-shaped bayonet 4011 corresponds to the first limit stop 4031 or 4032, and the second arc-shaped bayonet 5022 corresponds to the second limit stop 5031 or 5032, so that only one of the first rotating device 100 and the second rotating device 200 can rotate without interfering with each other.
[0105] like Fig.10 As shown, in this embodiment, during the rotation of the rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) on the vertical plane, the highest point of the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 on its running track is set as the reference position 601, and the lowest points of the center of gravity of the two rotating components 600 on its running track are set as the first target position 602 and the second target position 603. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the reference position of the rotating component 600 is set to 0 degrees, and the rotation angle range is 0 to 90 degrees clockwise and 0 to 90 degrees counterclockwise. It is judged that the clockwise line of sight direction is the direction facing the first support plate 501, and it can be seen that the entire rotation process of the external rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) in this embodiment.
[0106] like Fig.10 As shown, when the rotating member 600 is at the reference position 601, the first rotating device 100 and the second rotating device 200 remain stationary, and the scroll elastic member 300 remains in its original state. The first clamping block 103 and the second clamping block 104 are vertically arranged, and the first rotating disk stopper 2032 and the second rotating disk stopper 2042 are both located above the first transmission shaft 101.
[0107] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate counterclockwise from the reference position 601 to the first target position 602, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a high position to a low position, and the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) to rotate counterclockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the first turntable block 2032 of the first turntable 203 is stuck in the first arc-shaped bayonet 4011 of the transmission plate 401, so it will drive the second rotating device 200 to rotate counterclockwise. When the rotating component 600 reaches the first target position 602, the rotation angle is 90 degrees. In this process, the second turntable block 2042 slides in the second arc-shaped bayonet 5022 to ensure that the second turntable 204 can rotate synchronously with the first turntable 203. In this process, the first clamping block 103 does not encounter any resistance in the first limiting hole 403, and the first rotating device 100 is completely stationary. Since the inner end of the scroll elastic member 300 is fixedly connected to the first rotating device 100 and the outer end thereof is fixedly connected to the second rotating device 200 , the scroll elastic member 300 is deformed and curled, and the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600 is converted into the elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300 .
[0108] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate clockwise from the first target position 602 back to the reference position 601, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a low position to a high position, and the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) to rotate clockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate clockwise. When the rotating component 600 returns to the reference position 601, the second rotating device 200 rotates clockwise, the scroll elastic member 300 gradually restores its original shape, and the elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300 is converted into the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600, thereby reducing the work done by the driving device 700 on the rotating component 600, reducing the demand for driving torque, and reducing the energy consumption of the motor.
[0109] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate clockwise from the reference position 601 to the second target position 603, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a high position to a low position, and the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) to rotate clockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate clockwise. When the rotating component 600 reaches the second target position 603, the rotation angle is 90 degrees. At this time, the first clamping block 103 is engaged with the first limiting hole 403, and the two first limiting blocks 4031 and 4032 push the first clamping block 103 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the first rotating device 100 to rotate clockwise. In this process, the second clamping block 104 slides in the second limiting hole 5021 to ensure that the first transmission shaft 101 can rotate freely. In this process, the first turntable stopper 2032 slides in the first arc-shaped bayonet 4011, and the second turntable stopper 2042 slides in the second arc-shaped bayonet 5022. The first turntable 203 is not subjected to any thrust at all, and the second rotating device 200 is stationary. Since the inner end of the scroll elastic member 300 is fixedly connected to the first rotating device 100, and the outer end thereof is fixedly connected to the second rotating device 200, the scroll elastic member 300 is deformed and curled, and the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600 is converted into the elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300.
[0110] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate counterclockwise from the second target position 603 back to the reference position 601, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a low position to a high position, and the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) to rotate counterclockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate counterclockwise. When the rotating component 600 returns to the reference position 601, the first rotating device 100 rotates counterclockwise, and the scroll elastic member 300 gradually restores its original shape. The elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300 is converted into the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600, thereby reducing the work done by the driving device 700 on the rotating component 600 and reducing the energy consumption of the motor.
[0111] When the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a high place to a low place, when the rotating component 600 rotates clockwise in the vertical plane, the transmission device 400 drives the first rotating device 100 to rotate in the clockwise direction; when the rotating component 600 rotates counterclockwise in the vertical plane, the transmission device 400 drives the second rotating device 200 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0112] When the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a low position to a high position, when the rotating component 600 rotates clockwise in the vertical plane, the second rotating device 200 drives the transmission device 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction; when the rotating component 600 rotates counterclockwise in the vertical plane, the first rotating device 100 drives the transmission device 400 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0113] During operation of this embodiment, the external rotating component 600 rotates in a vertical plane under the drive of the driving device 700, and can drive the first rotating device 100 or the second rotating device 200 to rotate within a certain range through the transmission device 400. Since the two ends of the scroll-shaped elastic member 300 are respectively connected to the first rotating device 100 or the second rotating device 200, when any rotating device rotates, the scroll-shaped elastic member 300 will be deformed by force, thereby playing a role in buffering and temporarily storing energy.
[0114] In this embodiment, the positions of the first limiting hole 403, the second limiting hole 5021, the first arc-shaped bayonet 4011, and the second arc-shaped bayonet 5022 in the figure can be swapped left and right, and the working mode and principle are similar to the above-mentioned scheme, which will not be described in detail here. According to such a technical scheme, when the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a high place to a low place, when the rotating component 600 rotates clockwise in a vertical plane, the transmission device 400 drives the second rotating device 200 to rotate in a clockwise direction; when the rotating component 600 rotates counterclockwise in a vertical plane, the transmission device 400 drives the first rotating device 100 to rotate counterclockwise. When the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a low position to a high position, when the rotating component 600 rotates clockwise in the vertical plane, the first rotating device 100 drives the transmission device 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction; when the rotating component 600 rotates counterclockwise in the vertical plane, the second rotating device 200 drives the transmission device 400 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0115] This embodiment provides a bidirectional balancing device for a mechanical arm. When the mechanical arm reciprocates in two rotation directions in a vertical plane, only one or a group of elastic members in the same direction are needed to ensure the torque balance of the system, which can effectively reduce the load of the drive motor, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the production and maintenance costs of the equipment. In addition, this embodiment can effectively simplify the connection structure, save space, and improve the reliability and stability of the system, extend the service life, and improve work efficiency.

Two third limiting blocks 1062 and 1063 protruding inward are arranged in the third limiting hole 1061.
[0120] In this embodiment, the main body of the cross section of the third limiting hole 1061 is circular, and its diameter is slightly larger than the length of the third clamping block 406. The cross sections of the third limiting blocks 1062 and 1063 are right-angled sectors, the centers of the sectors of the two third limiting blocks 1062 and 1063 are arranged oppositely, the center of the cross section of the third limiting hole 1061 is located on the line connecting the centers of the sectors of the two third limiting blocks 1062 and 1063, the centers of the sectors of the cross sections of the two third limiting blocks 1062 and 1063 protrude to the middle of the third limiting hole 1061, and the rotation angle of the third clamping block 406 in the third limiting hole 1061 is 90 degrees.

[0123] like Figure 6 , Fig.13As shown, the volute elastic member 300 of Example 2 is the same as the volute elastic member 300 of Example 1. The volute elastic member 300 is sleeved outside the second limiting sleeve 106, preferably a plane volute spring, including a volute spring sheet 301, and the spring sheet 301 is located between two parallel planes. The two ends of the spring sheet 301 are respectively formed into a spring inner end 302 and a spring outer end 303, the spring inner end 302 is engaged with the second inner end slot 107 of the first rotating device 100, and the spring outer end 303 is engaged with the second outer end slot 208 of the second rotating device 200.
[0124] In this embodiment, when the number of spiral elastic members 300 is more than two, the winding direction of all spiral elastic members 300 is the same, specifically, the spring sheets 301 of all spiral elastic members 300 are wound in the same direction.

When the number of spiral elastic members 300 is more than two, an isolation ring is arranged between two adjacent spiral elastic members 300, and the isolation ring is made of elastic wear-resistant material (such as rubber) to prevent the spiral elastic member 300 from colliding with other spiral elastic members 300 or other components during the process of deformation or recovery, thereby affecting the deformation energy storage effect.
[0125] like Fig.13 , Fig.16 As shown, the transmission device 400 includes a fifth turntable 404 and a second transmission shaft 405. The fifth turntable 404 is tangent to the inner surface of the fourth turntable 206. The second transmission shaft 405 protrudes from the center of the fifth turntable 404, passes through the fourth turntable through hole 2062 and is fixedly connected to the rotating component 600 (seat back).

The first support plate 501 and the second support plate 502 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other.
[0128] The horizontal base 503 is preferably a rectangular base, and the horizontal base 503 is provided with a plurality of mounting screw holes, and the horizontal base 503 can be fixedly mounted on the ground or other bases by fasteners, thereby ensuring that the system formed by the robotic arm and the balancing device is sufficiently stable without deviation or shaking.
[0129] A second transmission shaft mounting hole 5012 is provided at the center of the first support plate 501 and is sleeved on the outside of the second transmission shaft 405 ; a second arc-shaped sliding hole 5013 is provided at the lower part of the first support plate 501 and passes through the first support plate 501 , and the center of the arc is consistent with the center of the second transmission shaft mounting hole 5012 .
[0130] A third transmission shaft mounting hole 5025 is provided at the center of the second support plate 502 and sleeved on the outside of the third transmission shaft 407 . A third arc-shaped bayonet 5026 is provided at the upper edge of the second support plate 502 , and the third turntable stopper 1051 is snapped into the third arc-shaped bayonet 5026 .
[0131] In this embodiment, the scroll elastic member 300 is sleeved on the outside of the second limiting sleeve 106, the third clamping block 406 is clamped into the third limiting hole 1061, and the third transmission shaft 407 is inserted into the third transmission shaft mounting hole 5025.

[0132] like Fig.18 As shown, in this embodiment, during the rotation of the rotating component 600 (seat back) on the vertical plane, the highest point of the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 on its running track is set as the reference position 701, and the lowest points of the center of gravity of the two rotating components 600 on its running track are set as the first target position 702 and the second target position 703. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the reference position of the rotating component 600 is set to 0 degrees, and the rotation angle range is 0 to 90 degrees clockwise and 0 to 90 degrees counterclockwise. It is judged that the clockwise line of sight is the direction facing the first support plate 501, and it can be seen that the entire rotation process of the external rotating component 600 (seat back) in this embodiment.
[0133] like Fig.18As shown, when the rotating component 600 is located at the reference position 701 , the first rotating device 100 and the second rotating device 200 both remain stationary, the scroll elastic member 300 maintains its original state, the third clamping block 406 is vertically arranged, and the fifth turntable stopper 4041 is engaged with one end of the first arc-shaped sliding hole 2063 .
[0134] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate counterclockwise from the reference position 701 to the first target position 702, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a high position to a low position, and the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (seat back) to rotate counterclockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the fifth turntable block 4041 pushes the second shell 205, driving the second rotating device 200 to rotate counterclockwise. When the rotating component 600 reaches the first target position 702, the rotation angle is 90 degrees. In this process, the fourth turntable block 2061 slides in the second arc-shaped sliding hole 5013 to ensure that the second shell 205 can rotate in the vertical plane. In this process, the third clamping block 406 rotates freely in the third limiting hole 1061, and the first rotating device 100 is not subjected to any thrust and is completely stationary. Since the inner end of the scroll elastic member 300 is fixedly connected to the first rotating device 100 and the outer end thereof is fixedly connected to the second rotating device 200 , the scroll elastic member 300 is deformed and curled, and the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600 is converted into the elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300 .
[0135] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate clockwise from the first target position 702 back to the reference position 701, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a low position to a high position, the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (seat back) to rotate clockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate clockwise. When the rotating component 600 returns to the reference position 601, the second rotating device 200 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, the scroll elastic member 300 gradually restores its original shape, and the elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300 is converted into the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600, thereby reducing the work done by the driving device 700 on the rotating component 600 and reducing the energy consumption of the motor.
[0136] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate clockwise from the reference position 701 to the second target position 703, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a high position to a low position, and the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) to rotate clockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate clockwise. At this time, the third clamping block 406 pushes the two third limit blocks 1062 and 1063, thereby driving the first rotating device 100 to rotate clockwise. The fifth turntable block 4041 slides in the first arc-shaped sliding hole 2063, the fourth turntable 206 is not subjected to thrust at all, and the second rotating device 200 is stationary. Since the inner end of the scroll elastic member 300 is fixedly connected to the first rotating device 100, and its outer end is fixedly connected to the second rotating device 200, the scroll elastic member 300 will deform and curl, and the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600 is converted into the elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300.
[0137] When the rotating component 600 needs to rotate counterclockwise from the second target position 703 back to the reference position 701, the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a low position to a high position, the driving device 700 (motor) drives the rotating component 600 (mechanical arm) to rotate counterclockwise, and the transmission device 400 is also driven to rotate counterclockwise. When the rotating component 600 returns to the reference position 701, the first rotating device 100 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise, the scroll elastic member 300 gradually restores its original shape, and the elastic potential energy of the scroll elastic member 300 is converted into the gravitational potential energy of the rotating component 600, thereby reducing the work done by the driving device 700 on the rotating component 600 and reducing the energy consumption of the motor.
[0138] When the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a high place to a low place, when the rotating component 600 rotates clockwise in the vertical plane, the transmission device 400 drives the first rotating device 100 to rotate in the clockwise direction; when the rotating component 600 rotates counterclockwise in the vertical plane, the transmission device 400 drives the second rotating device 200 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0139] When the center of gravity of the rotating component 600 moves from a low position to a high position, when the rotating component 600 rotates clockwise in the vertical plane, the second rotating device 200 drives the transmission device 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction; when the rotating component 600 rotates counterclockwise in the vertical plane, the first rotating device 100 drives the transmission device 400 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0140] In this embodiment, when working, the external rotating component 600 rotates in a vertical plane under the drive of the driving device 700, and can drive the first rotating device 100 or the second rotating device 200 to rotate within a certain range through the transmission device 400. Since the two ends of the scroll elastic member 300 are respectively connected to the first rotating device 100 or the second rotating device 200, when any rotating device rotates, the scroll elastic member 300 will be deformed by force, thereby playing a role in buffering and temporarily storing energy. In this embodiment, the rotating component 600 is a seat back. When it is rotated to a suitable angle, the user can use a separately provided locking device to lock the position of the seat back. After unlocking, the user can adjust the rotation direction of the seat back according to specific needs.
