[0028] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 — Fig.11 As shown, the present invention provides: a clamp robot arm with automatic posture leveling, which moves the gear to be processed to the gear processing position in the gear hobbing machine, and the two ejectors on the gear hobbing machine are pushed into the positioning holes at both ends of the gear shaft, including a robot arm body 1, a main arm 11, a lifting arm 12, a clamp assembly 13 and a gear body 2, the robot arm body 1 is used to support and move other components, and the lifting arm 12 can be raised and lowered to adjust the height. The clamp assembly 13 is used to clamp the gear body 2. A mounting groove 121 is provided on the lifting arm 12. One side of the clamp assembly 13 is inserted into the mounting groove 121 and fixed to the lifting arm 12 by bolts. The clamp assembly 13 ensures the stability of the gear body 2 during the processing. The clamp assembly 13 includes an adjustment assembly 136 that can level the gear body 2. The two adjustment assemblies 136 are symmetrical about the center position of the clamp assembly 13, and a clamp block 135 that can move forward and backward is provided on the adjustment assembly 136, and an insert 137 is clamped between the two clamp blocks 135. A through hole is provided at the center position of the insert 137, and the axis on the gear body 2 vertically passes through the through hole in the insert 137 and rotates in the through hole.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the gear body 2 needs to be moved to the gear hobbing machine for processing, the clamp assembly 13 is first moved to the vicinity of the gear body 2 through the combined movement of the robot arm body 1, the main arm 11 and the lifting arm 12, and then the shaft on the gear body 2 is inserted into the through hole in the insert 137 to stabilize it. If the posture of the gear body 2 is incorrect, it can be adjusted by adjusting the assembly 136 until the gear body 2 is in the correct position and angle, and then the pin on the gear hobbing machine is used to push it into the positioning holes on both ends of the gear body 2.

[0031] The adjustment component 136 also includes an automatic adjustment member 1362 and a cylindrical shaft 1363. The automatic adjustment member 1362 moves along the length direction of the cylindrical shaft 1363, and the automatic adjustment member 1362 can rotate around the axis of the cylindrical shaft 1363. The automatic adjustment member 1362 can adjust the inclination angle of the gear body 2 to achieve automatic leveling of the gear body 2. The cylindrical shaft 1363 is the basis for the movement of the automatic adjustment member 1362. It provides a stable support so that the automatic adjustment member 1362 can accurately move along its length direction and rotate around its axis. A connecting column 1361 is fixed on the automatic adjustment member 1362, and the connecting column 1361 is slidably matched with the clamping block 135; the clamping assembly 13 also includes a moving module 133, and the center position of the outside of the moving module 133 is fixed to the cylindrical shaft 1363.

[0032] In this embodiment, when there is an inclination between the ejector pin and the positioning hole on the gear body 2, the automatic adjusting member 1362 can rotate around the axis of the cylindrical shaft 1363, thereby causing the clamping block 135 to rotate, thereby driving the gear body 2 to rotate, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the relative position between the ejector pin and the gear body 2, facilitating the ejector pin to be pushed into the positioning hole on the gear body 2, and preventing the ejector pin from being unable to be pushed into the positioning hole, thereby affecting the machining accuracy. The insert 137 is clamped by the clamping block 135, and the gear body 2 is inserted into the insert 137, which facilitates the rotation of the gear during machining and facilitates subsequent machining.

[0033] The clamp assembly 13 also includes a mounting block 131, a limiting column 132 and a limiting plate 134. The mounting block 131 is symmetrically fixed in the mounting groove 121 by bolts. The mounting block 131 provides a stable mounting base for the clamp assembly 13 to ensure that the entire clamp assembly 13 can be stably fixed on the lifting arm 12. The limiting column 132 is used to limit the moving range and direction of the moving module 133. They ensure that the moving module 133 moves back and forth on a predetermined path. The limiting plate 134 is fixed at the center position of the mounting groove 121. A plurality of limiting columns 132 are connected between the two mounting grooves 121 and the limiting plate 134, and the moving module 133 moves back and forth on the limiting column 132. The cross section of the moving module 133 is "L" shaped. The moving module 133 moves back and forth on the limiting column 132, and drives the position of the adjustment assembly 136 through its movement.

[0034] A fixing bolt is screwed onto the clamp block 135 , and the fixing bolt on the clamp block 135 extends to the position of the connecting column 1361 and contacts the surface of the connecting column 1361 . When the clamp block 135 is adjusted to a suitable position, the fixing bolt on the rotating clamp block 135 is used to fix the clamp block 135 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the clamp block 135 is moved to slide back and forth on the connecting column 1361. When the clamp block 135 is adjusted to a suitable position, the clamp block 135 is fixed by fixing bolts so that the position of the clamp block 135 can be changed to adapt to different models of gears.

[0036] The lifting arm 12 is arranged on the top of the main arm 11, and the main arm 11 is used to move the lifting arm 12 up and down. The robot arm body 1 includes a rotating table 113, and the outer part of the rotating table 113 is fixed to one side of the main arm 11. When the rotating table 113 rotates, the lifting arm 12, the clamp assembly 13 and the gear body 2 on the main arm 11 are rotated to the gear processing position in the gear hobbing machine. The robot arm body 1 also includes a gear ring 114, and the gear ring 114 is fixed on the inner wall of the rotating table 113; the robot arm body 1 also includes a rotating driving member 111 and a driving gear 112, the driving gear 112 and the gear ring 114 are meshed with each other and drive the rotating table 113 to rotate, the output end of the rotating driving member 111 is connected to the driving gear 112 and drives the driving gear 112 to rotate, the robot arm body 1 is movably arranged in the gear hobbing machine, and the rotating driving member 111 is directly installed in the gear hobbing machine.

[0037] In this embodiment, the driving member 111 is started to drive the active gear 112 to rotate, and the active gear 112 is engaged with the gear ring 114, driving the rotating table 113 to rotate, thereby rotating the clamp assembly 13 holding the gear body 2 to the gear processing position of the gear hobbing machine, realizing the rotation function of the robot arm, improving the processing efficiency and flexibility of the gear hobbing machine, and the position and angle can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different processing requirements.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, by starting the moving module 133, the moving module 133 moves on the limiting column 132, and then by moving the clamping block 135, the clamping block 135 slides back and forth on the connecting column 1361. When the clamping block 135 is adjusted to a suitable position, the clamping block 135 is fixed by the fixing bolt, and the insert 137 is placed between the two clamping blocks 135, and the two clamping blocks 135 are moved left and right by the adjusting component 136 to fix the insert 137. Then, the gear body 2 is inserted into the through hole in the insert 137, and then, the driving gear 112 is rotated by rotating the driving member 111, so as to The rotating table 113 is rotated, and the rotating table 113 moves the main arm 11, and the lifting arm 12 and the clamp assembly 13 move to transport the gear body 2 to the gear processing location in the gear hobbing machine.
