[0002] In the field of heavy-load robots, in order to reduce the load rate of the motor of the arm part, the fourth, fifth and sixth axes generally adopt a motor rear mounting structure to reduce the weight of the robot end, so the fifth and sixth axes adopt bevel gear structures for transmission. Since the bevel gear transmission components involve many structural parts, the cumulative deviation of processing and assembly is large, which cannot meet the precision requirements of bevel gear transmission. Moreover, the related workpieces of the heavy-load robot are large and heavy, and the processing precision is difficult to guarantee, which leads to poor matching precision of the bevel gear structure, and it is easy to cause the bevel gear to be dead due to too small bevel gear matching gap, and the bevel gear transmission has a gap problem due to too large bevel gear matching gap. The traditional fifth and sixth axis structures need to use gaskets in multiple forms to compensate for the deviation caused by processing. For example, the transmission gap between the input shaft and the output shaft needs to be adjusted by the thickness of the precise gasket. During adjustment, repeated disassembly and testing are required, and maintenance is still required after loosening in the later period. Therefore, the traditional gasket adjustment method has the defects of complicated early adjustment and inconvenient later maintenance. SUMMARY

[0066] In order to fix the five-axis input mechanism 300 and the six-axis input mechanism 400 in the five-axis body 100, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the five-axis body 100 is fixedly provided with a bearing fixing plate 110, two five-axis bearings 330 are clamped in the bearing fixing plate 110, and the five-axis input gear shaft 310 is slidably clamped in the inner ring of the five-axis bearing 330.

By arranging the five-axis elastic member 321 between the first bevel gear 311 and the five-axis bearing 330, the five-axis elastic member 321 generates a pushing force on the five-axis input gear shaft 310 towards the five-axis output gear shaft 510, and the five-axis adjusting member 322 is arranged at the other end of the five-axis input gear shaft 310 and abuts against the five-axis bearing 330 to limit the limit distance between the five-axis input gear shaft 310 and the five-axis output gear shaft 510. Among them, the five-axis elastic member 321 is selected by calculation, so that the elastic force generated by the five-axis elastic member 321 is the same as the axial force generated when the five-axis input gear shaft 310 rotates, thereby maintaining the gap between the five-axis input gear shaft 310 and the five-axis output gear shaft 510, and avoiding phenomena such as tooth impact or tooth slip.
[0068] Further, in order to more conveniently adjust the gap between the six-axis input gear shaft 410 and the six-axis output gear shaft 610, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the six-axis gap adjusting assembly 420 includes a six-axis elastic member 421 and a six-axis adjusting member 422.

The five-axis body 100 is provided with a first opening hole 100A, and the five-axis adjusting rod 323 can abut against the teeth of the five-axis adjusting member 322 through the first opening hole 100A. By opening the first opening hole 100A on the five-axis body 100, then loosening the machine screw of the five-axis adjusting member 322, and using the five-axis adjusting rod 323 to push the five-axis adjusting member 322 to rotate through the first opening hole 100A, the five-axis adjusting member 322 is moved to adjust the limit position of the five-axis input gear shaft 310, and then the machine screw of the five-axis adjusting member 322 is locked to complete the adjustment of the transmission gap and the tension of the elastic member.
[0071] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 to Figure 4As shown, the six-axis gap adjusting assembly 420 further comprises a six-axis adjusting rod 423, the outer surface of the six-axis adjusting piece 422 is provided with a tooth, and the six-axis adjusting piece 422 is provided with a machine screw for locking. The five-axis body 100 is provided with a second opening hole 100B, and the six-axis adjusting rod 423 can abut against the tooth of the six-axis adjusting piece 422 through the second opening hole 100B. By opening the second opening hole 100B on the five-axis body 100, then loosening the machine screw of the six-axis adjusting piece 422, and then using the six-axis adjusting rod 423 to push the six-axis adjusting piece 422 to rotate through the second opening hole 100B, the six-axis adjusting piece 422 is moved to adjust the limited position of the six-axis input gear shaft 410, and then the machine screw of the six-axis adjusting piece 422 is locked to complete the adjustment of the transmission gap and the tension of the elastic member.
[0072] The five-six axis structure of the heavy-load industrial robot described in the embodiment of the present application can adjust the transmission gap and the tension of the elastic member without disassembling the structure when the structure is loosened during subsequent use, causing the gap and the elastic force of the elastic member to change. The five-axis adjusting rod 323 is used to push the tooth of the five-axis adjusting piece 322 through the first opening hole 100A, or the six-axis adjusting rod 423 is used to push the tooth of the six-axis adjusting piece 422 through the second opening hole 100B, thereby completing the adjustment of the transmission gap and the tension of the elastic member, which has the advantage of convenient maintenance.

[0075] On the other hand, this application also provides a calculation method for the clearance adjustment of a heavy-duty industrial robot, which is the industrial robot described in the above embodiments. It adjusts the transmission clearance between the power output end and the power input end by setting a compression spring at the power input end. This method ensures the stability of the clearance maintained by the compression spring during operation through calculation and selection of the compression spring. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0076] S1: Provide a heavy-duty industrial robot as described in the above embodiments;
[0077] S2: Obtain the meshing angle δ1 and pressure angle α1 of the input bevel gear;
[0078] S3: Calculate the normal force F generated by the input bevel gear at the midpoint of the tooth width on the pitch cone surface. t1 ;
[0079] S4: Based on the meshing angle δ1, pressure angle α1, and normal force F t1 Calculate the axial force F1 generated on the tooth surface of the input bevel gear;
[0080] S5: Calculate the first compression length L1 of the compression spring;
[0081] S6: Select a compression spring with a suitable elastic coefficient k and original length L0 based on the axial force F1 and the first compression length L1, so that the compression spring generates the first elastic force F 弹1 The axial force F1 is greater than or equal to that of the shaft teeth.
[0082] This embodiment describes a method for calculating the clearance adjustment of a heavy-duty industrial robot. It calculates the axial force F1 generated on the tooth surface of the bevel gear during normal load-bearing operation using data from the bevel gear. Based on the axial force F1, a compression spring with a suitable elastic coefficient k and original length L0 is selected, causing the compression spring to generate a first elastic force F... 弹1 The axial force F1 is greater than or equal to the axial force on the gear teeth, so that the gear shaft is always subjected to the first elastic force F of the compression spring, which is greater than the axial force F1, during operation. 弹1 By pushing to maintain the clearance of the transmission, the gear shaft can be kept running without using shims to reduce the clearance, which has the advantage of improving operational stability.
[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, step S3 further includes the following step: calculating the normal force F generated by the input bevel gear at the midpoint of the tooth width on the pitch cone surface. t1 :
[0084] S31: Obtain the number of teeth z1 and module m1 of the input bevel gear, as well as the average load torque T1 of the gear shaft under normal load;
[0085] S32: calculating the normal force F generated by the input bevel gear at the tooth surface width midpoint on the pitch cone surface according to the number of teeth z1, the module m1 and the torque T1 t1 .
[0086] By acquiring the number of teeth z1, the module m1 and the torque T1, the normal force F generated by the input bevel gear at the tooth surface width midpoint on the pitch cone surface is calculated t1 .
[0087] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7 , step S5 further comprises the following steps for calculating the first compression length L1 of the compression spring:
[0088] S51: measuring the error value of the output bevel gear in the axial position;
[0089] S52: calculating the first compression length L1 of the compression spring according to the error value and the engagement angle δ1.
[0090] Since the output bevel gear has errors in the machining process, the axial position of the input bevel gear engaged with it cannot be determined, so it is necessary to measure the error value of the output bevel gear in the axial position, and according to the positional relationship between the input bevel gear and the output bevel gear, the error value and the engagement angle δ1 are used to calculate the first compression length L1 of the compression spring.
[0091] Preferably, the normal force F in step S32 is calculated using the following formula t1 :
[0092]
[0093] Wherein, θ k in the formula takes the value of 1 / 3. z1 is the number of teeth acquired in step S31, m1 is the module acquired in step S31, and T1 is the average load torque of the normal load shaft acquired in step S31.
[0094] Preferably, the axial force F1 in step S4 is calculated using the following formula
[0095]
[0096] Wherein, α1 is the pressure angle acquired in step S1, and δ1 is the engagement angle of the input bevel gear acquired in step S1. The first elastic force F 弹1 in step S6 is calculated using the following formula
[0097] F 弹1 = k (L0-L1).
[0098] Wherein, k is the elastic coefficient of the selected compression spring, and L0 is the original length of the selected compression spring.
[0099] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the figure, when the robot is impacted, the input gear shaft will be displaced due to the impact. In order to protect the compression spring from being damaged when impacted, the following step is further included: Figure 8
[0100] S71, obtaining a second compression length L2 of the compression spring when impacted;
[0101] S72, calculating a second elastic force F 弹2 of the selected compression spring when impacted. 弹2
[0102] Wherein, the second compression length L2 can be obtained through experiments according to the maximum impact force that the robot can withstand, and then the second elastic force F 弹2 is calculated to ensure that the second elastic force F 弹2 when impacted is greater than or equal to the axial force F1 of the shaft gear.
[0103] Preferably, in order to avoid gear skipping when the power input end is impacted, the following step is further included:
[0104] The difference between the first compression length L1 and the second compression length L2 is less than 1mm. If the compression amount of the spring when impacted is too different from the compression amount under normal conditions, gear skipping may occur, which can be avoided by limiting the compression rate when impacted.
[0105] Preferably, the second elastic force F 弹2 in step S72 is calculated using the following formula:
[0106] F 弹2 =k(L0-L2).
[0107] Wherein, L2 is the second compression length of the compression spring when impacted.
[0108] The five-six axis structure of the heavy-load industrial robot described in the embodiments of the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0109] 1. The five-axis input mechanism 300 and the six-axis input mechanism 400 adopt an integrated structure design. Before assembly, the five-axis input mechanism 300 and the six-axis input mechanism 400 check the size of the five-axis output mechanism 500 and the six-axis first output mechanism 600, and simultaneously adjust the five-axis gap adjusting assembly 320 and the six-axis gap adjusting assembly 420 to synchronously adjust the gap of the five-six axes, which has the advantage of simple debugging.
[0110] 2. By using elastic elements to drive the five-axis input gear shaft 310 and the six-axis input gear shaft 410, the transmission clearance between the five and six axes can be adjusted. As long as the elastic elements are calculated and selected, the transmission clearance can be adjusted before installation without the need for repeated disassembly and adjustment using shims, making the adjustment after assembly more convenient.
[0111] 3. If the structure becomes loose during subsequent use, causing changes in the clearance and elasticity of the elastic element, there is no need to disassemble the structure. The transmission clearance and tension of the elastic element can be adjusted by using the five-axis adjusting rod 323 to push the teeth of the five-axis adjusting component 322 through the first opening 100A, or by using the six-axis adjusting rod 423 to push the teeth of the six-axis adjusting component 422 through the second opening 100B. This has the advantage of convenient maintenance.
[0112] 4. Compression springs are used as the five-axis elastic element 321 and the six-axis elastic element 421. When a large impact occurs at the end of the robot, the spring is compressed, and the gear directly undergoes a small-angle displacement to buffer the impact, reducing the hard impact on the gear and other workpieces and increasing the service life.
[0113] 5. Calculate the axial force F1 generated on the tooth surface of the bevel gear during normal load operation using the bevel gear data. Based on the axial force F1, select a compression spring with a suitable elastic coefficient k and original length L0 to generate the first elastic force F. 弹1 The axial force F1 is greater than or equal to the axial force on the gear teeth, so that the gear shaft is always subjected to the first elastic force F of the compression spring, which is greater than the axial force F1, during operation. 弹1 By pushing to maintain the clearance of the transmission, the gear shaft can be kept running without using shims to reduce the clearance, which has the advantage of improving operational stability.
[0114] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
