Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to represent selected embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Example Combination Figures 1 to 14 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable robotic arm limiting installation platform, including two support frames 4, a frame 1 connected between the two support frames 4, at least two first tracks 2 arranged side by side on the frame 1, and a bearing module 3 arranged on the first track 2; The support module 3 includes a support base 31, two sliding brackets 32, multiple fasteners 33, and at least four fastening modules 34. The bottom of the support base 31 is provided with a first sliding groove 35 that is slidably connected to the first track 2. The support base 31 is provided with two second tracks 36 that are perpendicular to the first track 2 and are respectively provided on both sides of the support base 31. The two sliding brackets 32 are slidably disposed on the second tracks 36. The fasteners 33 are used to fix the sliding brackets 32. The sliding brackets 32 are provided with a second sliding groove 39. Two fastening modules 34 are slidably disposed on the second sliding groove 39. The fastening modules 34 are configured to fix their positions with bolts and connect to the robotic arm.

[0018] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first track 2 and the second track 36 are arranged along the X and Y directions, respectively; a damping groove 37 is formed on the bottom surface of the bearing seat 31; a damping rail groove 38 is provided on the damping groove 37 and placed on the side of the second track 36; the fastening module 34 includes a slider body 341, sliding parts 342 disposed on both sides of the slider body 341, a threaded sleeve 343 disposed at the center of the slider body 341, a limiting rod 344 disposed on both sides of the threaded sleeve 343, and a damping plate 345 connected to the bottom of the limiting rod 344; the sliding part 342 can slide along the second sliding groove 39. The sliding bracket 32 ​​slides on the first track 2 to adjust the position of the fastening module 34 in the X direction; the fastening module 34 moves along the second track 36 to adjust its position in the Y direction, thereby adapting to different sizes of robotic arm positioning and fixing holes; after the sliding bracket 32 ​​is adjusted in the X direction, it is locked by the fastener 33, which can be a fastening screw or bolt. When the fastener 33 is locked, its bottom is pressed against the bottom of the damping groove 38, thereby fixing the sliding bracket 32; then, after the four fastening modules 34 are adjusted in the Y direction, the robotic arm is locked to the fastening module 34 by bolts. When the bolts are tightened, they continuously press against the damping plate 345, thereby deforming the damping plate 345 and tightly fitting it against the damping groove 37, thereby fixing the fastening module 34. Of course, the bottom of the damping groove 37 and the bottom of the damping groove 38 can be surface treated to give them a rough bottom surface to increase friction.

[0019] In this embodiment, as Figures 6 to 9As shown, it also includes a limiting module, which includes a limiting block 8, a transmission frame 7, and a motor 9. The limiting block 8 is connected to one end of the transmission frame 7, and its bottom is provided with a third sliding groove 81 that is slidably connected to the first track 2. A rack 11 is provided on the transmission frame 7. A gear 12 that meshes with the rack 11 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 9. When the motor 9 drives the transmission through the gear 12 and rack 11, the transmission frame 7 moves, thereby causing the limiting block 8 to slide along the first track 2, limiting the range of motion of the support seat 31.

[0020] Furthermore, the limiting module also includes two snap-fit ​​components, each including a snap-fit ​​block 14, a spring 15, and a plug rod 13; the limiting block 8 has two mounting grooves positioned above the third sliding groove 81; the bottom of the mounting groove has a through-hole groove; the side of the snap-fit ​​block 14 has a connecting plate 18; the connecting plate 18 has a through hole; the bottom of the mounting groove has a rail rod 17, which slidably passes through the through hole; the spring 15 is sleeved on the rail rod 17 and positioned between the bottom of the mounting groove and the connecting plate 18; the two sides of the limiting block 8 have plug holes; the upper end of the snap-fit ​​block 14 forms an arc groove 1. 6. Under the action of the spring 15, the limiting block 8 aligns the two ends of the through hole with the arc groove 16; multiple limiting grooves 21 are arranged side by side on the upper surface of the first track 2; during the insertion of the insertion rod 13 into the insertion hole, the locking block 14 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 15 through the arc groove 16 and moves downward through the through hole groove into the limiting groove 21; when the limiting block 8 moves to the designated position, the insertion rod 13 is inserted to make the limiting block 8 pass through the through hole groove into the limiting groove 21, thereby fixing the limiting block 8. The locking assembly prevents the limiting block 8 from shifting under the collision of the bearing module 3.

[0021] It should be noted that a transmission device is usually included to drive the bearing module 3 to move along the first track 2, so that the robot arm has a wide range of motion.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figures 10 to 14As shown, the frame 1 is a square columnar structure, with two first tracks 2 and the bearing module 3 arranged on each of its faces; used to mount multiple robotic arms to complete different processes. An active turntable 5 and a driven turntable 6 are respectively arranged on the two support frames 4; the frame 1 is connected between the active turntable 5 and the driven turntable 6; the active turntable 5 can drive the frame 1 to rotate under the action of external force; it also includes a transmission gear 19 and an operating component 10; the active turntable 5 is provided with external teeth that mesh with the transmission gear 19; the operating component 10 is connected to the transmission gear 19 and is used to drive the transmission gear 19 to rotate. Specifically, the operating component 10 includes a control disk 20 and a handle 201 connected to the outer ring of the control disk 20. The handle 201 can move along the axial direction of the control disk 20, and one end of the handle is a locking block 202. The axis of the control disk 20 is connected to the transmission gear 19 placed in the support frame 4 through a rotating shaft 203, so that the control disk 20 and the transmission gear 19 are at a certain distance. The outer side of the support frame 4 is provided with multiple slots corresponding to the locking block 202. The slots are evenly distributed along the axis of the active turntable 5. In the normal state, the locking block 202 is placed in the slot to prevent the angle of the frame 1 from changing. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the frame 1, the handle 201 is pulled out to disengage the locking block 202 from the slot. The handle 201 then drives the control disk 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear 19 to rotate, and then drives the active turntable 5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the frame 1.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: 1. By setting the first track 2 and the second track 36, the fastening module 34 can move along the X and Y directions to adapt to the positioning and fixing holes of the robotic arm of different sizes.

[0024] 2. By setting the active turntable 5 and the driven turntable 6 on the support frame 4, the angle of the frame 1 can be adjusted so that the robotic arm can be adapted to different working environments.

[0025] 3. By setting the square column structure of frame 1, the first track 2 and the bearing module 3 can be set in multiple directions on its multiple sides to assemble multiple robotic arms so as to realize the coordinated operation of multiple processes.
