Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of industrial robots, and in particular to a reconfigurable parallel robot for grinding large inner cavity variable diameter parts. Background Art

[0002] Large internal cavity complex parts are an important part of the core equipment in the fields of aerospace, energy and national defense. They have the characteristics of complex internal cavity shape, poor openness, and difficult to control grinding process. Based on the above characteristics, existing large parts processing equipment, such as traditional multi-axis CNC machine tools and processing robots based on serial robots, cannot be used for internal cavity grinding of large parts due to the limitations of the main body structure or equipment precision / rigidity.

[0003] In view of the above situation, currently, the main method used to grind large inner cavity parts is manual processing, but there are problems such as high labor intensity, low processing efficiency, poor product quality, and difficulty in health protection. Therefore, it is necessary to use appropriate inner cavity parts processing equipment as a replacement. In addition, since some large inner cavity parts have variable diameters, that is, the inner diameter of the parts will change with the increase of depth. Therefore, in order to achieve effective overall grinding, the processing equipment used must also adapt to different inner diameters.

[0004] The existing Chinese patent with publication number CN110682192B discloses a robot grinding equipment and method for the inner cavity of a large container.
