Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial robots and robot end-effector gripping mechanisms, and particularly to the field of gripping stiffness testing devices for robot end-effector gripping mechanisms, specifically to a three-dimensional stiffness testing device for robot gripping mechanisms. Background Technology
[0002] A robot end effector is a tool attached to the edge joints of a robot to perform specific operational functions. Among various end effectors, the gripping mechanism is a very important structural type, possessing multiple functions such as transporting, gripping, placing, and releasing objects to specific locations. Mechanical gripping mechanisms are the most widely used, primarily utilizing mechanical transmission principles such as helical drives, rack and pinion drives, and linkage drives for structural design and functional implementation. They are characterized by high precision, strong stability, good compatibility, and a wide range of applications.
[0003] For mechanical clamping mechanisms, the clamping stiffness of the mechanical gripper is a crucial indicator of its clamping capability. During clamping operations, the gripper hand may experience severe conditions such as oscillations, impacts, and momentary overloads. In such situations, insufficient clamping stiffness can cause localized deformation of the gripper hand, preventing it from clamping the workpiece. This results in friction and impact forces between the gripper hand and the workpiece, leading to a series of nonlinear, non-smooth, and discontinuous dynamic phenomena that affect normal operation. To avoid these issues, it is necessary to test and evaluate the clamping stiffness of the clamping mechanism before it is put into use. Therefore, developing a stiffness testing device capable of testing the multi-directional clamping stiffness of clamping mechanisms is essential. Currently, existing clamping mechanism stiffness testing devices typically only perform unidirectional stiffness testing. When performing multidirectional stiffness testing, repeated assembly and disassembly and individual measurements are required, resulting in low efficiency and large errors. Existing clamping mechanism stiffness testing devices usually employ contact deformation measurement methods, which are prone to causing wear on the clamping mechanism, leading to inaccurate measurement results and affecting the object being tested. In existing clamping mechanism stiffness testing devices, the force loading component and force sensor are often rigidly connected. Due to processing errors, assembly errors, etc., there may be an angle between the force loading direction and the force sensor measurement direction, causing deviations in the stiffness test results in that direction. In view of this, the present invention provides a three-dimensional stiffness testing device for robot gripping mechanisms. It adopts a modular design, eliminating the need for repeated assembly and disassembly, and can simultaneously test the translational gripping stiffness in the X, Y, and Z directions. Furthermore, in the deformation measurement module of this device, a laser displacement sensor is used to achieve non-contact measurement, avoiding direct contact with the object being measured. This non-contact measurement method features a wide measurement range, high speed, and high accuracy. Secondly, in the stiffness testing module of this device, a joint bearing is installed at the extended end of the electric cylinder push rod, ensuring that the force loading direction of the electric cylinder is always along the force sensor measurement direction. This avoids force coupling effects in the X, Y, and Z directions, resulting in high force loading accuracy and good adjustability. Summary of the Invention
