DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The application will be further described with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0040] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary only and is intended to provide further description of the present application. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent vegetable cutting knife linked to a robotic arm, comprising a linkage mechanism 3 for connecting to a robotic arm 1, and a knife 4 provided on the linkage mechanism 3;

[0043] The linkage mechanism 3 includes a housing 301, a wire winding shaft 303 disposed in the housing 301, and an output wheel 309 disposed outside the housing 301; the wire winding shaft 303 is connected to the output wheel 309;

[0044] The tool 4 includes a connecting beam 401, a first lead screw 402 and a second lead screw 403 respectively provided at both ends of the connecting beam 401, and a plurality of first lead screw nuts 404 and a plurality of second lead screw nuts 405 respectively provided on the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 403; two first lead screw nuts 404 and second lead screw nuts 405 form a group, and a wire cutter 406 is provided between each group of first lead screw nuts 404 and second lead screw nuts 405;

[0045] A steel wire 5 is provided on the steel wire winding shaft 303 , and one end of the steel wire 5 away from the steel wire winding shaft 303 is connected to the robotic arm 1 ; the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 403 are connected to the output wheel 309 .

[0046] Specifically, the tool 4 is connected to the robotic arm 1 through the linkage mechanism 3, and the robotic arm 1 drives the steel wire 5 to drive the first screw 402 and the second screw 403 to rotate, thereby driving the first screw nut 404 and the second screw nut 405 on the first screw 402 and the second screw 403 to move, realizing the movement of all steel wire cutters 406, thereby changing the distance between adjacent steel wire cutters 406, meeting the needs of cutting wires, strips and blocks with the same tool 4, and can be closely linked with the robotic arm 1, thereby improving intelligence, and no additional power source such as a motor for adjusting the spacing is required in the tool, the structure is simple, and the overall control difficulty is not high.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the robotic arm 1 can be obtained by setting a rotating wheel 6 on the basis of the robotic arm in the prior art; the function of the rotating wheel 6 is to change the direction of the steel wire 5 so that the two ends of the steel wire 5 can be connected to the steel wire winding shaft 303 and the robotic arm 1 respectively; two rotating wheels 6 can be set to realize the direction requirement of the steel wire 5.

[0048] In some embodiments, the steel wire 5 can be wound on the motor shaft in the mechanical arm 1, and the rotation of the motor shaft drives the steel wire 5, so that the steel wire winding shaft 303 rotates. In other embodiments, the middle of the steel wire 5 is wound on the steel wire winding shaft 303, and the two ends of the steel wire 5 are respectively connected with two adjacent joints on the mechanical arm 1; when the two joints rotate relative to each other, the steel wire 5 is pulled, so that the steel wire winding shaft 303 rotates.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a connecting plate 2 is arranged on the mechanical arm 1 by welding or bolt connection and the like, a connecting hole 302 is arranged on the shell 301, and the linkage mechanism 3 is arranged on the mechanical arm 1 by bolts and the like.

[0050] As shown in Figure 2 , a first gear 304 is rotatably arranged in the shell 301, and the steel wire winding shaft 303 is arranged on the first gear 304; a second gear 305 is also rotatably arranged in the shell 301 and engaged with the first gear 304; the second gear 305 is connected with the output wheel 309 through the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308 connected with each other.

[0051] Optionally, the shell 301 is made of stainless steel; the first gear 304 is rotatably arranged in the shell 301 through a rotating shaft and a bearing, and the second output shaft 308 is rotatably arranged in the shell 301 through a rotating shaft and a bearing; the first gear 304 and the second gear 305 are engaged, and the transmission ratio between the first gear 304 and the second gear 305 can be adjusted to meet the transmission demand, thereby ensuring the design flexibility.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308 are connected through the coupling 307; the coupling 307 is connected with the controller 7; the controller 7 is also connected with the rotating direction sensor 8 arranged on the mechanical arm 1 and the timer 9.

[0053] Optionally, the controller 7 is used to determine whether the action direction of the mechanical arm 1 is the adjusted direction, and if so, the coupling 307 is controlled to connect the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308, otherwise, the action direction of the mechanical arm 1 is continuously determined; when the coupling 307 is closed for a preset time, the coupling 307 is controlled to disconnect the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308.

[0054] Specifically, the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308 are connected and separated according to requirements by using the separation function of the coupling 307, and a driving source is arranged in the coupling 307. The controller 7 can include a robot controller 701 and a coupling controller 702 integrated in the robot controller 701; the coupling controller 702 is connected with the driving source of the coupling 307 and is used for controlling the coupling 307.

[0055] When the steel wire 5 can be wound on the motor shaft in the mechanical arm 1 and the spacing between the steel wire knives 406 needs to be adjusted, first, the rotating direction of the motor shaft in the mechanical arm 1 is judged by the rotating direction sensor 8, because the rotating directions are different, the rotating directions of the steel wire winding shaft 303 are different, one rotating mode is to adjust the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406 to be smaller, and the other rotating mode is to adjust the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406 to be larger. Then, according to the adjustment trend requirement of the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406, when the direction meets the requirement, the coupling 307 is controlled to connect the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308, the steel wire winding shaft 303 is driven to rotate, so as to realize the adjustment of the spacing between the steel wire knives 406. Finally, according to the requirements of cutting strips, cutting wires or cutting blocks, the spacing between the steel wire knives 406 is fixed under different cutting requirements, the rotating speed of the motor in the mechanical arm 1 is the same when performing a certain action, so only the rotating time of the steel wire winding shaft 303 is judged according to the timer 9, the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406 can be switched among the requirements of cutting strips, cutting wires and cutting blocks.

[0056] When the steel wire 5 is wound in the middle of the steel wire winding shaft 303, and the two ends of the steel wire 5 are connected with two adjacent joints on the mechanical arm 1 respectively, first, the relative rotating directions of the two joints are judged by the rotating direction sensor 8, because the relative rotating directions of the two joints are different, the rotating directions of the steel wire winding shaft 303 are different, one relative rotating direction of the two joints is to adjust the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406 to be smaller, and the other relative rotating direction of the two joints is to adjust the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406 to be larger. Then, according to the adjustment trend requirement of the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406, when the direction meets the requirement, the coupling 307 is controlled to connect the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308, the steel wire winding shaft 303 is driven to rotate, so as to realize the adjustment of the spacing between the steel wire knives 406. Finally, according to the requirements of cutting strips, cutting wires or cutting blocks, the spacing between the steel wire knives 406 is fixed under different cutting requirements, the relative rotating speed of the two joints in the mechanical arm 1 is the same when performing a certain action, so only the rotating time of the steel wire winding shaft 303 is judged according to the timer 9, the spacing between the adjacent steel wire knives 406 can be switched among the requirements of cutting strips, cutting wires and cutting blocks.

[0057] In order to improve the flexibility of the steel wire cutter 406 spacing adjustment, the coupling controller 702 is also connected with a remote controller 10; Specifically, the required rotation time can be set and changed according to the remote controller 10, so as to adjust the spacing. The closing of the coupling 307 can also be directly remotely controlled according to the remote controller 10, so as to realize the requirement of manually adjusting the spacing of the steel wire cutter 406. Of course, the maximum rotation time of the steel wire winding shaft 303 at different rotation speeds needs to be set under two different rotation directions, and when the maximum rotation time is reached at different rotation speeds, the coupling 307 disconnects the first output shaft 306 and the second output shaft 308, so as to avoid the displacement of the steel wire cutter 406 being too large and causing interference between components and other problems.

[0058] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one side of the shell 301 is connected with the mechanical arm 1, and the other end is connected with the connecting beam 401; the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 403 are respectively rotationally connected with the connecting beam 401; the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 403 are respectively provided with a first pulley 407 and a second pulley 408 at one end of the connecting beam 401; the first pulley 407 and the second pulley 408 are provided with a first belt 409 therebetween; the first lead screw 402 is further provided with a third pulley 410 at one end of the connecting beam 401, and the third pulley 410 and the output wheel 309 are provided with a second belt 411 therebetween; the overall structure is simple and stable.

[0059] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the two ends of the connecting beam 401 are respectively provided with a first sliding groove body 416 and a second sliding groove body 417 by welding or bolt connection and the like; all first lead screw nuts 404 and all second lead screw nuts 405 are respectively slidably arranged on the first sliding groove body 416 and the second sliding groove body 417 through first sliding blocks 418 and second sliding blocks 419; the first lead screw 402 and the second lead screw 403 are respectively rotationally connected with the first sliding groove body 416 and the second sliding groove body 417 away from the one end; It can be understood that the first sliding groove body 416 and the second sliding groove body 417 are respectively provided with sliding grooves matched with the first sliding block 418 and the second sliding block 419, thereby improving the stability.

[0060] Specifically, when the output wheel 309 rotates, the third pulley 410 is driven to rotate by the second belt 411, so as to drive the first screw rod 402 and the first pulley 407 to rotate; at the same time, the first pulley 407 drives the second pulley 408 to rotate by the first belt 409, and the second pulley 408 drives the second screw rod 403 to rotate. The first screw rod 402 and the second screw rod 403 rotate synchronously and in the same direction, so as to drive the first screw nut 404 and the second screw nut 405 to move, and realize the adjustment of the distance between the adjacent steel wire knives 406.

[0061] As shown in Figure 5 the first blade 412 and the second blade 413, the first blade 412 is provided with a first blade edge 414 near one end of the steel wire knife 406, and the second blade 413 is provided with a second blade edge 415 near the other end of the steel wire knife 406.

[0062] Specifically, one end of the steel wire knife 406 is connected with the first screw nut 404 through the first blade 412, and the other end is connected with the second screw nut 405 through the second blade 413, so as to provide a larger cutting space for the steel wire knife 406; at the same time, the first blade 412 is provided with the first blade edge 414, and the second blade 413 is provided with the second blade edge 415, so as to ensure the smooth performance of the cutting action.
