[0038] See also Figure 1 Some embodiments of the present application provide a mechanical arm 10, the mechanical arm 10 includes a base mechanism 100, a first arm body 200, a counterweight rod 300, a connecting rod 400, a second arm body 500, a manipulator 600 and a balancing mechanism 700, wherein the first arm body 200 is arranged on the base mechanism 100, and the first arm body 200 can rotate around a first axis relative to the base mechanism 100. The first end of the counterweight rod 300 is rotatably connected to the first arm body 200 through a first rotating shaft 210, and a counterweight block 310 is arranged at the second end of the counterweight rod 300. The connecting rod 400 is rotatably connected to the counterweight rod 300, and the connecting rod 400 is parallel to the first arm body 200. The second arm body 500 is rotatably connected to the first arm body 200 and the connecting rod 400, respectively, and the second arm body 500 is parallel to the counterweight rod 300. The manipulator 600 is arranged at one end of the second arm body 500 away from the counterweight block 310. The balancing mechanism 700 is disposed on the base mechanism 100 and connected to the first rotating shaft 210 , and is used to balance the gravity moment caused by the first arm body 200 deviating from the vertical posture.

[0039] By making the counterweight rod 300 rotatably connected to the first arm 200, the connecting rod 400 rotatably connected to the counterweight rod 300, the second arm 500 rotatably connected to the first arm 200 and the connecting rod 400 respectively, and the connecting rod 400 is parallel to the first arm 200, and the second arm 500 is parallel to the counterweight rod 300, so that the first arm 200, the second arm 500, the counterweight rod 300 and the connecting rod 400 can form a parallelogram, and the second end of the counterweight rod 300 is provided with a counterweight block 310, and the manipulator 600 is provided at one end of the second arm 500 away from the counterweight block 310, so that the counterweight block 310 can balance the gravity of the manipulator 600. The balancing mechanism 700 is provided on the base mechanism 100, and is used to balance the gravity moment caused by the first arm 200 deviating from the vertical posture, so as to balance the force generated when the first arm 200 is tilted relative to the gravity direction. The parallelogram structure composed of the first arm body 200, the second arm body 500, the counterweight rod 300 and the connecting rod 400, the counterweight block 310 and the balancing mechanism 700 can cooperate to realize the passive hovering of the robot arm 10, and the possibility of the robot arm 10 falling is small, and the safety is higher.

[0040] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the balancing mechanism 700 includes a first elastic member 710, a second elastic member 720 and a connecting rope 730. The first elastic member 710 and the second elastic member 720 are respectively connected to the base mechanism 100. One end of the connecting rope 730 is connected to the first elastic member 710, and the other end passes around the first rotating shaft 210 and is connected to the second elastic member 720. The connecting rope 730 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 210.

[0041] By connecting the first elastic member 710 and the second elastic member 720 to the base mechanism 100 respectively, one end of the connecting rope 730 is connected to the first elastic member 710, and the other end passes around the first rotating shaft 210 and is connected to the second elastic member 720. The connecting rope 730 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 210, so that the first elastic member 710 and the second elastic member 720 can provide elastic force to the first rotating shaft 210 to balance the force generated when the first arm body 200 is tilted relative to the direction of gravity, and the elastic forces of the first elastic member 710 and the second elastic member 720 act together on the first rotating shaft 210, which can make the first arm body 200 more stable.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connecting rope 730 may be a metal rope, such as a steel rope, a copper rope, etc., which can make the connecting rope 730 more stress-bearing and less likely to break.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 710 and the second elastic member 720 form a gravity compensation assembly, and the stiffness coefficient of the gravity compensation assembly is K0, satisfying K0=6*T 1max / (πr 2 ).

[0044] Among them, T 1max is the maximum value of the static load moment of the first rotating shaft 210 , r=r1=r2, r1 is the arm of the balancing moment provided by the first elastic member 710 , and r2 is the arm of the balancing moment provided by the second elastic member 720 .

[0045] In some embodiments, r1 is the distance between the axis of the first rotating shaft 210 and the axis of the first elastic member 710 along the first direction Y. r2 is the distance between the axis of the first rotating shaft 210 and the axis of the second elastic member 720 along the first direction Y. The first direction Y is perpendicular to the gravity direction X.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 710 includes a first spring, the second elastic member 720 includes a second spring, the stiffness coefficient of the first spring 710 is K1, and the stiffness coefficient of the second spring 720 is K2, satisfying K1=K2=K0 / 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the axis of the first spring is parallel to the direction of gravity, and the axis of the second spring is parallel to the direction of gravity.

[0048] In some embodiments, the ratio of the balance error of the first spring and the second spring to the maximum value of the static moment of the load of the first rotating shaft 210 is Q=(T1-T K ) / T 1max , where T1 is the static load moment of the first rotating shaft 210, T K is the balancing moment generated by the first spring and the second spring, T K =F K *r=2*θ1*r 2 *K, where F K is the balancing force generated by the first spring and the second spring, θ1 is the inclination angle of the first arm 200 relative to the gravity direction, and K=K1=K2.

[0049] The ratio Q of the balance error between the first spring and the second spring to the maximum value of the load static moment of the first rotating shaft 210 can be made smaller, and the accuracy of the robot arm 10 is higher.

[0050] In some embodiments, -π / 6≤θ1≤π / 6. For example, θ1 may be -π / 6, 0, or π / 6, etc. θ1 is the inclination angle of the first arm 200 relative to the direction of gravity.

[0051] In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the first arm 200 relative to the gravity direction can be symmetrically set, for example, the inclination angle of the first arm 200 on one side relative to the gravity direction is π / 6, and the inclination angle of the first arm 200 on the other side relative to the gravity direction is -π / 6.

[0052] In other embodiments, the inclination angle of the first arm 200 relative to the gravity direction may also be set asymmetrically, for example, the inclination angle of the first arm 200 on one side relative to the gravity direction is π / 6, and the inclination angle of the first arm 200 on the other side relative to the gravity direction is -π / 9.

[0053] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, only static forces are considered, and the potential energy of the overall system of the robot arm 10 is obtained by the Lagrange equation:

[0054] L=(m1gL4+m4gL C4 )cosθ1-m3gL C3 sin(θ2+α1)+m1gL C1 sin(θ2+α2) (1)

[0055] Among them, the center point of the first rotating axis 210 is defined as point A, point A is the zero potential energy reference point, the rotation connection point between the counterweight rod 300 and the connecting rod 400 is point B, the rotation connection point between the connecting rod 400 and the second arm body 500 is point C, the rotation connection point between the second arm body 500 and the first arm body 200 is point D, the center of mass of the second arm body 500 is located at point C1 (this is the ideal state simulation center of mass, and the center of mass deviates from the second arm body 500), the center of mass of the connecting rod 400 is located at point C2, the center of mass of the counterweight rod 300 is located at point C3, and the center of mass of the connecting rod 400 is located at point C4.

[0056] The mass m2 of the connecting rod 400 is divided into two equal parts at the two end points, that is, the mass at point B is m2 / 2, and the mass at point C is m2 / 2. m1 is the mass of the second arm 500 (including the mass m2 / 2 at point C), L4 is LAD, that is, the distance between point A and point D, L C4 LAC4 is the distance between point A and point C4, θ1 is the inclination angle of the first arm 200 relative to the direction of gravity (not shown in the figure), m3 is the mass of the counterweight rod 300 (including the mass m2 / 2 at point B), L C3 is LAC3, i.e., the distance between point A and point C3, θ2 is the inclination angle of the second arm 500 relative to the horizontal direction (not shown in the figure), α1 is the angle between the line AC3 and the horizontal direction, L C1 LAC1 is the distance between point C and point C1, and α2 is the angle between the line DC1 and the horizontal direction when the first arm 200 is parallel to the gravity direction.

[0057] By taking the derivative of θ1 and θ2 in formula (1), we can obtain:

[0058]

[0059] Only when T2=0 can the forces of the second arm 500 and the counterweight rod 300 in the horizontal direction be balanced, then m1gL C1 cos(θ2+α2) and m3gL C3 The amplitude and phase of cos(θ2+α1) are the same, so the mass of the connecting rod 400 and the counterweight rod 300 must meet the following conditions:

[0060]

[0061] The load static moment T1 of the first rotating shaft 210 is equal to |-(m1L4+m4L c4 )g sinθ1|, the absolute value of T1 increases as the absolute value of θ1 increases.

[0062] Since -π / 6≤θ1≤π / 6, when θ1=-π / 6 or π / 6, T1 reaches its maximum value T1max=(m1L4+m4L C4 )g / 2.

[0063] The stiffness coefficient of the first spring is K1, and the stiffness coefficient of the second spring is K2, K1 = K2 = K = T1max / [2*(θ1r 2 )]=3*T 1max / (πr 2 ).

[0064] The balancing moment generated by the first spring and the second spring

[0065] The ratio of the balance error of the first spring and the second spring to the maximum value of the static moment of the load of the first rotating shaft 210 is Q=(T1-T K ) / T 1max =2*sinθ1-6 / π*θ1. This can reduce the ratio Q of the balance error between the first spring and the second spring to the maximum value of the load static moment of the first rotating shaft 210.

[0066] For example, when θ1=π / 6, Q=2*sinθ1-6 / π*θ1=0.

[0067] In some embodiments, a limiting member (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the base mechanism 100, and the limiting member is used to abut against the first arm body 200 when the inclination angle of the first arm body 200 relative to the gravity direction is θ1.

[0068] By providing the limiter, the possibility of the robot arm 10 tipping over due to the inclination angle of the first arm body 200 relative to the gravity direction exceeding θ1 can be reduced, thereby improving the safety of the robot arm 10 .

[0069] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the base mechanism 100 includes a base 110 and a rotating base 120 , the rotating base 120 is movably disposed on the base 110 , and the rotating base 120 can rotate relative to the base 110 around a second axis, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis.
