[0014] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the content of this patent, the following will be combined with the embodiments and drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of this patent. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this patent, not all of them. Generally, the components of the embodiments of this patent described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0015] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0016] In the description of this patent, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc. indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or position relationship in which the patented product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this patent and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of this patent. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0018] (1) Wire harness orientation In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this patent clearer, the wiring harness direction of this patent will be clearly and explicitly described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of this patent.

[0019] The wiring harness of the present invention when extended is as follows: first, one end of the wiring harness needs to be fixed on the wiring harness fixing hole (54) of the base, and then the other end of the wiring harness is passed around the third V-shaped idler wheel (17) fixed on the upper bracket (11) of the first-stage robot arm, and finally fixed on the secondary wiring harness fixing hole (24) corresponding to the bottom of the carbon tube (22) of the second-stage robot arm. Similarly, one end of another wiring harness is fixed on the primary wiring harness fixing hole (19) of the upper bracket (11) of the first-stage robot arm, and then the other end of the wiring harness is passed around the fourth V-shaped idler wheel (23) fixed on the upper bracket (21) of the second-stage robot arm, and finally fixed on the tertiary wiring harness fixing hole (33) at the bottom of the carbon tube (34) of the corresponding third-stage robot arm, thus completing the wiring harness direction when the robot arm is extended.

[0020] The wiring harness of the present invention is directed as follows when the harness is retracted: first, one end of the harness is fixed to the fixing screw of the rectangular groove of the upper bracket (11) of the first-stage robot arm, and then the other end of the harness is passed through the second V-shaped idler wheel (15) fixed to the lower bracket (13) of the first-stage robot arm, the fifth V-shaped idler wheel (53) fixed in the rectangular groove of the base bracket (51), and the first V-shaped idler wheel (14) fixed to the lower bracket (13) of the first-stage robot arm in sequence, and finally the harness is fixed to the fixing screw of the rectangular groove of the upper bracket (31) of the third-stage robot arm, thus completing the wiring harness direction when the robot arm is retracted.

[0021] (2) Telescopic method like Figure 1 The brackets, base and transmission device of each level are assembled and combined with each other, wherein the first-level mechanical arm (1) and the second-level mechanical arm (2) are matched and connected by three secondary graphite copper sleeves (18), the second-level mechanical arm (2) and the third-level mechanical arm (3) are matched and connected by three secondary graphite copper sleeves (18) and three tertiary graphite copper sleeves (25), and the base (5) and the first-level mechanical arm (1) are connected by three secondary graphite copper sleeves (18) and two primary graphite copper sleeves (52). The graphite copper sleeves used in the present invention are used to ensure the coaxiality of the second and third-level mechanical arms relative to the upper-level mechanical arm to the greatest extent, so as to ensure smooth operation between the mechanical arms, wherein the inner and outer diameters of the primary, secondary and tertiary graphite copper sleeves decrease in sequence. In the initial state of the assembled device of the present invention, the base bracket (51) should be in contact with the upper bracket (11) of the first-stage robot arm, that is, in a fully retracted state. At this time, the motor (6) is energized, and the motor (6) drives the small bearing (72) and the large bearing (73) to move up and down relative to the belt (71). When the motor and the large and small bearings move downward relative to the belt, the robot arm can start to extend, and vice versa, it can retract.

[0022] Of course, this patent may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this patent, technicians familiar with the field can make various corresponding changes and deformations based on this patent, but these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this patent.
