[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. Example

[0022] This embodiment provides a laboratory sampling robot, which is applied to laboratory sampling experiments, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes: Mobile platform 1; Two sets of robotic arms 2 are provided, with each set of robotic arms 2 rotatably connected to the mobile platform 1; Sampling component 3 is disposed at the end of robotic arm 2. Sampling component 3 includes a base 31 and a flipping mechanism 32. The base 31 is rotatably connected to the end of robotic arm 2 and rotates about the axis of the end of robotic arm 2. The flipping mechanism 32 is rotatably connected to the base 31 and includes a driving member and a driven member. The driving member drives the driven member to rotate 180 degrees around the base 31. 。 The device is flipped, wherein the driven member is provided with a receiving cavity for loading the experimental tool and driving the experimental tool to flip. Camera device 5 is mounted on mobile platform 1 and is used to acquire target location information.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, the mobile platform 1 serves as the mobile carrier for the laboratory sampling robot. When the robot is working, the mobile platform 1 first moves the robot to the side of the experimental table. The target position information is then acquired through the camera device 5. In this embodiment, the camera device 5 is a 3D vision camera. The target refers to the object being sampled in the experiment. In this embodiment, the mobile platform 1 is a mobile cart. Since there is an error when the mobile cart moves to the designated position, and since the sampling operation using the robotic arm 2 requires high precision, to reduce errors, after the mobile platform 1 determines its position, the camera device 5 captures an image of the experimental target and identifies its position to determine its relative position to the mobile platform 1. The working coordinates of the robotic arm 2 are then corrected again. This allows for real-time adjustment of the robotic arm 2's posture based on the specific position of the experimental target, making its posture parameters more accurate. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the robotic arm 2 is a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, and the end of the robotic arm 2 is equipped with a base 31 that can rotate around its axis and a point around the base 31 at a 180° angle. 。 The flipping mechanism 32 increases the degrees of freedom of the robotic arm 2, and the sampling component 3 can be controlled independently. This reduces the requirements for the posture parameters of the robotic arm 2 for such precision operations, which helps to reduce the difficulty of control. The independent control of the sampling component 3 also contributes to the stability of the experimental operation. Furthermore, a first robotic arm 2 and a second robotic arm 2 are provided. During the operation, due to the complexity of the experimental operation, the first robotic arm 2 and the second robotic arm 2 can be used in conjunction without interfering with each other. The design is modeled after a human arm. Compared with a single robotic arm 2, this reduces the difficulty of operation and control and improves work efficiency. The sampling component 3 is equipped with a flipping mechanism 32, which drives the experimental tools to perform related actions. Specifically, the driven part of the flipping mechanism 32 is equipped with a receiving cavity for installing experimental tools. The experimental tools can be grippers 4, test tubes, or pecking devices for pecking experiments, or other tools, depending on the experimental needs. These tools are installed in the receiving cavity. During the experiment, when the relevant experimental tools are needed, they can be flipped down by the flipping mechanism 32, and when they are not needed, they can be flipped up. This can avoid interference between experimental equipment. At the same time, the design of the flipping mechanism 32 makes the rotation and tilting actions during the experiment more convenient.

[0024] Preferably, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the base 31 includes a connecting shaft 311 and a chassis 314. The chassis 314 is located at one end of the connecting shaft 311. The connecting shaft 311 is rotatably connected to the end of the robotic arm 2. The chassis 314 has multiple grooves 315 arranged circumferentially along its edge. The flipping mechanism 32 is partially embedded in the grooves 315 and forms a rotatable connection with the grooves 315.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, specifically, the connecting shaft 311 is a shaft component, including a fixed part 312 and a rotating part 313. The fixed part 312 is fixedly connected to the end of the robotic arm 2, and the rotating part 313 is rotatably connected to the fixed part 312. The control of the robotic arm 2's posture can be separated from the control of the sampling component 3. This increases the degree of freedom while reducing the difficulty of control, and improves the accuracy and stability of control. Specifically, the chassis 314 is circular, and multiple grooves 315 are arranged circumferentially along the edge of the chassis 314. The grooves 315 are arranged in a circular array on the chassis 314, penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of the chassis 314, so that the flipping mechanism 32 can achieve a 180-degree flip on the chassis 314. Furthermore, multiple grooves 315 are provided to provide loading space for multiple flipping mechanisms 32, and multiple experimental tools can be installed on the multiple flipping mechanisms 32. Specifically, in this embodiment, the grooves 315 have a uniformly distributed structure, and the grooves 315 can provide installation space for the flipping mechanisms 32. The evenly arranged and regular layout makes it easy to install or remove the flipping mechanism 32 in the tank 315 manually or mechanically.

[0026] Specifically, the tank 315 has mounting holes 316 on both sides, and the flipping mechanism 32 can be inserted into the mounting holes 316 for installation and fixation. Multiple flipping mechanisms 32 can be installed to hold multiple experimental tools. Different experimental tools can be configured according to different experimental scenarios. The experimental tools used in the experiment are pre-installed on the flipping mechanism 32, and the required experimental tools for the current experimental task can be retrieved by flipping the mechanism 32. Compared with mechanical devices that load a single experimental tool, this avoids frequent changes of experimental equipment, shortens disassembly and assembly time, and improves experimental efficiency.

[0027] Preferably, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the driving component is a drive motor 321, and the driven component is a housing 322. The drive motor 321 is embedded in the housing 322 and drives the housing 322 to rotate.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, specifically, the drive motor 321 is installed inside the housing 322. The housing 322 has mounting shafts on both sides that mate with mounting holes 316, allowing for fixed installation. The drive motor 321 drives the rotating shaft disc, causing the housing 322 to rotate together around the mounting shafts. Specifically, the drive end of the drive motor 321 is connected to an end cover, and the housing 322 is engaged with the end cover. The motor drives the end cover to rotate, thus causing the housing 322 to rotate. This structural design is simple to implement, convenient to install, and also saves space.

[0029] Preferably, such as Figure 2-4As shown, the housing 322 is electrically connected to the drive motor 321; a power supply contact 317 is provided in the groove 315; an arc-shaped groove 3222 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 322 along the rotation direction of the housing 322; a conductive medium is provided in the arc-shaped groove 3222; the arc-shaped groove 3222 and the power supply contact 317 slide in contact to supply power to the drive motor 321.

[0030] In this way, the power supply medium in the power supply contact 317 and the arc groove 3222 conducts electricity, thereby realizing the power supply of the motor. This structure is simple and can avoid the problem of wire tangling caused by directly connecting the power supply wire when the motor is rotating.

[0031] Preferably, the housing 322 has a cavity 3221, and the experimental tool is detachably installed in the cavity 3221.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, a cavity 3221 is provided at the end of the housing 322 away from the drive motor 321 for loading experimental tools. Depending on the experiment, different practical tools are required. Considering the frequent use of experimental tools during the experiment, the experimental tools are designed to be detachably installed in the cavity 3221 for easy installation.

[0033] Preferably, it also includes a vision camera, and the bottom of the base 31 is provided with a mounting compartment 318 for mounting the vision camera.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the visual camera is a 2D visual camera, which mainly provides the staff with the perspective of the end of the experimental tool during the experiment, so as to facilitate the staff to accurately control the sampling component 3.

[0035] In summary, firstly, the mobile platform 1 reaches the relevant experimental platform positioning point according to the set position. After the mobile platform 1 is positioned, the 3D vision camera accurately locates the experimental target and adjusts the end posture of the robotic arm 2 accordingly. The sampling component 3 retrieves the experimental tool according to the experimental task. A 2D vision camera is configured at the center of the bottom of the base 31, which can transmit the image of the end of the experimental tool to the remote control terminal. The control terminal processes the captured image and then adjusts the posture of the robotic arm 2 and the rotation angle of the sampling component 3 to achieve a relatively accurate position for the experimental tool, enabling it to complete more precise experimental operations and thus complete the experimental process.

[0036] Preferably, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it also includes a gripper 4, which is detachably installed in the cavity 3221, and a pressure sensor is provided on the gripper 4.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, in addition to installing experimental tools, the cavity 3221 of the housing 322 can also install grippers 4 to facilitate the handling of experimental tools that need to be gripped frequently. The grippers 4 are equipped with pressure sensors to detect the stress on the grippers 4 in real time, thereby avoiding damage to the grippers 4 or experimental tools due to misoperation. The sensor processing terminal transmits the real-time stress data to the control terminal for processing, and can issue early warnings for impending equipment damage, accidental collisions, and other situations.

[0038] Preferably, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, the mobile platform 1 includes a support platform 11 and a walking mechanism. The support platform 11 carries the robotic arm 2, and the walking mechanism drives the support platform 11 to move. The cross-section of the support platform 11 is hexagonal; The walking mechanism includes a drive wheel 12 and a driven wheel 13. The driven wheel 13 is located at the corner of the bottom of the mobile platform 1 and is a swivel wheel. The drive wheel 12 is driven by a motor. The drive wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13 work together to achieve walking in all directions.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the support platform 11 of the mobile platform 1 has a hexagonal cross-section. Compared to a rectangular plane, the six sides make it easier to connect with the test platform, allowing it to accommodate test platforms of different shapes and facilitating better robot positioning. In an exemplary embodiment, a motor and reducer are used to drive the drive wheel 12 to rotate, thereby cooperating with the driven wheel 13 to enable the mobile platform 1 to move in various directions.

[0040] Optionally, such as Figure 7-11 As shown, the robotic arm 2 includes a support arm 21 and a movable arm 22 movably connected to the upper end of the support arm 21. An auxiliary positioning component is movably arranged inside the connection end of the support arm 21 and the movable arm 22. A first adjustment device is arranged inside the support arm 21 at the end away from the auxiliary positioning component. The output end of the first adjustment device is movably connected to the auxiliary positioning component. A second adjustment device is arranged inside the movable arm 22 at the end away from the auxiliary positioning component. The output end of the first adjustment device is movably connected to the auxiliary positioning component.

[0041] The auxiliary positioning component includes a telescopic component and a positioning shaft 27. The positioning shaft 27 connects the first adjustment device and the second adjustment device. After the telescopic component and the first adjustment device are adjusted to a suitable position, the telescopic component, the first adjustment device, and the support arm 21 form a stable triangular structure, which keeps the position of the positioning shaft stable and provides support for the end of the second adjustment device. The other end of the second adjustment device is connected to the movable arm 22. When the second adjustment device extends or retracts, it drives the movable arm 22 to rotate, thereby adjusting the movable arm 22. This design makes the support for the movable arm 22 more stable. Moreover, since the position of the positioning shaft 27 can be adjusted, a suitable position can be selected to reduce the load on the second adjustment device, making the second adjustment device less stressed, facilitating the adjustment of the second adjustment device, and effectively avoiding mechanical wear of the second adjustment device.

[0042] The telescopic assembly includes a rotating shaft 24 movably connected to the support arm 21, an extension shaft 25 movably connected inside the rotating shaft 24, and a lead screw 216 for driving the extension shaft 25. The first end of the positioning shaft 27 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft 24. During rotation, the lead screw 216 drives the extension shaft 25, causing the extension shaft 25 to extend or retract into the rotating shaft 24. The connection structure between the lead screw 216 and the extension shaft 25 has a self-locking effect, resulting in high adjustment precision and more sensitive adjustment of the extension shaft 25. There are two sets of telescopic assemblies, symmetrically distributed at the end of the positioning shaft 220, and the two sets of telescopic assemblies move synchronously. This facilitates the adjustment of the position of the positioning shaft 27 and makes the positioning of the positioning shaft 27 more accurate.

[0043] The first adjustment device includes a first electric telescopic rod 28, which is movably connected inside the support arm 21. The output end of the first electric telescopic rod 28 is movably connected to the positioning shaft 27. The shape of the triangular structure formed between the telescopic assembly, the first adjustment device, and the support arm 21 is adjusted by the telescopic position of the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 28 and the extension shaft 25. This facilitates the positioning shaft 27 to be in a suitable position to support the second adjustment device. The position of the positioning shaft 27 can be adjusted, which means the support position of the second adjustment device can be adjusted. According to the force analysis of the supporting force of the second adjustment device on the positioning shaft 27, F2=F1 / cosθ (F2 is the supporting force of the second adjustment device on the movable arm 22, F1 is the critical force in the tangential direction of the trajectory of the movable arm 22 in the circular motion at the connection point with the second adjustment device under the force equilibrium state, and θ is the angle between the tangential direction and the second adjustment device). Figure 7As shown, if the value exceeds F1, the movable arm 22 rotates counterclockwise; if the value is less than F1, the movable arm 22 rotates clockwise. Therefore, when F1 is a constant, the smaller the angle θ, the smaller the value of F2, meaning the smaller the critical support force of the second adjusting device on the movable arm 2, making it easier to support the movable arm 2. By adjusting the position of the positioning shaft 220, the angle θ can be adjusted to a suitable position, which facilitates increasing the effective support force of the second adjusting device. This not only increases the maximum load on the movable arm 22 but also reduces the load on the second adjusting device itself, making it easier to adjust and significantly reducing mechanical wear, thus extending the service life of the device's structural components.

[0044] Under the action of the telescopic component and the first adjustment device, the positioning shaft 27 can perform a complete circular motion, which enables the movable arm 22 to rotate a large range on the support arm 21, allowing it to perform sampling or delivery work back and forth on both sides of the support arm 1, facilitating sampling activities of the device in narrow environments.

[0045] The second adjustment device includes a second electric telescopic rod 29, which is movably connected inside the movable arm 22. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod 29 is movably connected to the positioning shaft 27. When extended or retracted, the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 29 is used to adjust the movable arm 22 and cause it to rotate. The high precision, high sensitivity, and other characteristics of the second electric telescopic rod 29 result in better adjustment of the movable arm 22.

[0046] The first motor is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 24 away from the extension shaft 25. The output end of the first motor passes through the rotating shaft and is fixedly connected to the lead screw. The first motor facilitates the supply of power to the lead screw, driving it to rotate.

[0047] A rotating shaft 212 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating shaft near the support arm 21, and the rotating shaft 212 is movably connected inside the support arm 21. The rotating shaft 212 facilitates the connection of the rotating shaft 24 to the support arm 21.

[0048] A second motor 220 is fixedly installed on the upper end of one side of the support arm 21. The second motor 220 drives a rotating shaft 212 adjacent to it. The second motor provides power to the rotating shaft 212, which facilitates the rotation of the auxiliary positioning assembly as a whole, so that the positioning shaft 27 can easily pass through the highest and lowest points of the support arm 21.

[0049] The first adjustment device further includes a first mounting base 213 fixedly connected to the base of the first electric telescopic rod 28 and a first sleeve 214 fixedly connected to the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 28. The first mounting base 213 is movably connected inside the support arm 21, and the first sleeve 214 is sleeved on the side of the positioning shaft 27 and movably connected to the positioning shaft 27. The first sleeve 214 and the first mounting base 213 ensure that both ends of the first electric telescopic rod 28 are movably connected, facilitating the adjustment of the first electric telescopic rod 28.

[0050] The second adjustment device further includes a second mounting base 215 fixedly connected to the base of the second electric telescopic rod 29, and a second sleeve 216 fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 29. The second mounting base 215 is movably connected inside the support arm 1, and the second sleeve 216 is sleeved on the side of the positioning shaft 27 and movably connected to the positioning shaft 7. The second sleeve 216 and the second mounting base 215 ensure that both ends of the second electric telescopic rod 29 are movably connected, facilitating the adjustment of the second electric telescopic rod 29.

[0051] In this invention, a connecting wire is also provided, which is installed on the side of the support arm 21 and the movable arm 22. The connecting wire is used to supply power to the first motor, the second motor, the second electric telescopic rod 29, and the first electric telescopic rod 28, and to transmit signals.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
