Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotic gripper technology, and in particular to an industrial robot robotic arm. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, industrial robots have become indispensable equipment, especially in automated assembly lines, material handling, and precision machining, where they significantly improve production efficiency and quality. The robotic arms within industrial robots, particularly their end effectors—the gripper arms—are responsible for the critical tasks of gripping, transporting, and releasing workpieces. However, existing gripper arms face a series of challenges when handling highly oily workpieces.
[0003] Specifically, during processing or storage, oily workpieces often have a layer of oil adhering to their surface. This oil not only increases the coefficient of friction between the workpiece and the robotic arm, but also has a certain degree of adhesion. When the robotic arm frequently grips and releases such workpieces, the oil gradually accumulates on the surface of the gripper arm, forming a layer of dirt that is difficult to remove. This dirt not only reduces the gripping accuracy and stability of the robotic arm, but also causes the workpiece to shift when it is released due to the adhesion of the oil. This shift is particularly noticeable when handling workpieces with small mass. Because the workpiece itself is light, the adhesion of the oil is enough to cause it to deviate from the predetermined position when released, resulting in inaccurate workpiece positioning, or even falling off the production line, causing production interruption and workpiece damage. This not only affects production efficiency, but also increases the defect rate and production costs. Existing technologies usually use the method of periodically cleaning the robotic arm to remove surface oil. However, frequent manual cleaning not only increases labor costs, but may also cause production line shutdowns, affecting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0034] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0036] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0037] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-14This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an industrial robot arm. The industrial robot arm includes a main body component 100, including a robot base 101, a drive arm 102, a mounting base 103, and a gripper base 104. The drive arm 102 is disposed on the robot base 101, the mounting base 103 is located at the end of the drive arm 102, and the gripper base 104 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 103.
[0038] The robot base 101 is used to support the drive arm 102, the drive arm 102 is used to drive the mounting base 103 to move, and the mounting base 103 is used to fix and support the gripper base 104. The working principle of the main component 100 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] The claw arm assembly 200 is mounted on the gripper base 104 and includes a support shaft 201a fixed inside the gripper base 104. A drive frame 201b is rotatably connected to the surface of the support shaft 201a. A drive shaft 201c is disposed inside the drive frame 201b. A positioning pin 201d is provided at the end of the drive shaft 201c. The positioning pin 201d is fixed inside the drive frame 201b by bolts. A gripper 201e is rotatably connected to the surface of the drive shaft 201c. A connecting post 201f is fixed to the surface of the gripper 201e. The connecting post 201f is rotatably connected to another drive frame 201b. A clamping block 201g is fixed to one side of the gripper 201e. A clamping groove 201g-1 is provided on one side of the clamping block 201g.
[0040] The support shaft 201a supports the drive frame 201b. The gripper seat 104 contains a drive mechanism for rotating the drive frame 201b on the surface of the support shaft 201a. This drive mechanism is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The two drive frames 201b on the grippers 201e are arranged in parallel. At this time, the two grippers 201e are parallel to each other. The drive mechanism in the gripper seat 104 drives the drive frame 201b to deflect, causing the two grippers 201e to move closer or further apart, thereby... The clamping groove 201g-1 of the clamping block 201g clamps the workpiece. The clamping block 201g is made of rubber with strong support, which allows the clamping block 201g to stably clamp the workpiece without causing damage. The positioning pin 201d is fixed to the surface of the drive shaft 201c. The setting of the positioning pin 201d can stably fix the drive shaft 201c in the drive frame 201b, so that the drive shaft 201c rotates synchronously when the drive frame 201b deflects.
[0041] Specifically, the claw arm assembly 200 also includes a separating component 202, which is disposed within the gripper 201e. It includes a support sleeve 202a fixed within the gripper 201e, a first spring 202b disposed within the support sleeve 202a, a push rod 202c fixed to one end of the first spring 202b, and the other end of the first spring 202b fixed to the inner wall of the support sleeve 202a. A separating rod 202d is fixed to the other end of the push rod 202c. A chamfer 202d-1 is provided on one side of the separating rod 202d, and a clamping block 201g extends out from one side of the separating rod 202d.
[0042] The support sleeve 202a is used to support the first spring 202b, which is in a compressed state and is used to push the push rod 202c, so that the push rod 202c can push the separation rod 202d.
[0043] When the gripper 201e clamps the workpiece, the clamping block 201g contacts the workpiece surface. At this time, the separating rod 202d is squeezed into the clamping block 201g by the workpiece, and the first spring 202b is compressed again. When the gripper 201e lowers the workpiece, the clamping block 201g begins to release the workpiece. At this time, under the restoring force of the first spring 202b, the separating rod 202d can extend slightly out of the clamping block 201g, thereby pushing the workpiece away from the clamping block 201g. The adhesion between the clamping block 201g and the workpiece will not occur. Moreover, the chamfer 202d-1 makes the contact area between the separating rod 202d and the workpiece smaller. Both grippers 201e are provided with the same separating element 202, so that the two separating rods 202d have the same pushing force on the workpiece, preventing the workpiece from shifting.
[0044] Specifically, the claw arm assembly 200 also includes a cleaning component 203, which includes a rotating rod 203a rotatably connected to the gripper 201e, a swing rod 203b fixed to the end of the rotating rod 203a, a cleaning rod 203c provided on one side of the swing rod 203b, a support column 203d fixed to one side of the cleaning rod 203c, a pulley 203e fixed to the surface of the support column 203d, and a sliding groove 203b-1 opened in the swing rod 203b, and the pulley 203e slides in the sliding groove 203b-1.
[0045] The rotating rod 203a is used to support the swing rod 203b, so that the swing rod 203b can swing stably. There are four sets of support columns 203d and pulleys 203e. By sliding multiple pulleys 203e in the slide groove 203b-1, the cleaning rod 203c can move stably in extension and retraction relative to the swing rod 203b.
[0046] Specifically, a support frame 203f is fixed on one side of the clamping block 201g, and an adjustment groove 203f-1 is opened on the surface of the support frame 203f. A support rod 203g is fixed on the other side of the cleaning rod 203c, and an adjustment wheel 203h is rotatably connected to the surface of the support rod 203g. The adjustment wheel 203h slides in the adjustment groove 203f-1.
[0047] The support frame 203f is fixed inside the gripper 201e and can be used to support the gripping block 201g. The adjusting wheel 203h slides in the adjusting groove 203f-1, which allows the cleaning rod 203c to extend and retract relative to the swing arm 203b.
[0048] Specifically, a movable rod 203i is fixed to the end of the cleaning rod 203c, and a cleaning column 203j is fixed to the surface of the movable rod 203i. The cleaning column 203j is located on the surface of the clamping block 201g.
[0049] The cleaning column 203j is used to wipe the oil stains on the surface of the clamping block 201g. The preferred material for the cleaning column 203j is a cleaning cloth. When wiping with the cleaning cloth, it will not cause scratches or damage to the surface of the clamping block 201g.
[0050] When the swing arm 203b swings, the adjusting wheel 203h can slide from one end of the adjusting groove 203f-1 to the other end. At this time, the cleaning column 203j slides from the top to the bottom of the clamping block 201g, so that the cleaning column 203j always fits the clamping groove 201g-1 of the clamping block 201g.
[0051] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-14 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0052] Specifically, the claw arm assembly 200 also includes a drive component 204, which is disposed within the gripper 201e. It includes a rotating shaft 204a rotatably connected within the gripper 201e, a drive disk 204b fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 204a, a drive block 204c fixed to one side of the drive disk 204b, a stabilizing rod 204d fixedly connected within the gripper 201e, a sliding rod 204e fixed to one side of the stabilizing rod 204d, a movable plate 204f sliding on the surface of the sliding rod 204e, a drive groove 204f-1 formed within the movable plate 204f, a drive block 204c sliding within the drive groove 204f-1, and a rotating sleeve 204g rotatably connected to the surface of the drive block 204c.
[0053] The rotating shaft 204a is used to support the drive disk 204b, so that the drive disk 204b can rotate stably. When the drive disk 204b rotates, it can drive the drive block 204c to slide in the drive groove 204f-1, thereby causing the rotating sleeve 204g to drive the moving plate 204f to slide on the surface of the slide rod 204e.
[0054] Specifically, an adjusting rod 204h is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 203a, and a rotating column 204i is rotatably connected to the end of the adjusting rod 204h. A connecting block 204j is fixed to the surface of the rotating column 204i. A fixed column 204k is fixed to one side of the moving plate 204f, and another connecting block 204j is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed column 204k. A second spring 204l is provided between the two connecting blocks 204j. A limit ring 204m is fixed inside the gripper 201e. An adjusting disc 204n is fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 203a. A positioning groove 204n-1 is opened on the surface of the adjusting disc 204n, and a release groove 204b-1 is opened on the surface of the driving disc 204b.
[0055] The rotating rod 203a can drive the adjusting rod 204h to deflect, so that the adjusting rod 204h stretches the second spring 204l through the rotating column 204i and the connecting block 204j. The limiting ring 204m is used to position the deflection angle of the adjusting rod 204h. When the release groove 204b-1 of the driving disk 204b is located on one side of the adjusting disk 204n, the adjusting disk 204n can rotate. When the release groove 204b-1 of the driving disk 204b is away from the adjusting disk 204n, the adjusting disk 204n can rotate. At 04n, the drive disk 204b will be engaged in the positioning groove 204n-1 of the adjustment disk 204n, preventing the adjustment disk 204n from rotating. There are two release grooves 204b-1 on the drive disk 204b, and the two release grooves 204b-1 are 180 degrees apart. There are two positioning grooves 204n-1 on the adjustment disk 204n, and the two positioning grooves 204n-1 are 90 degrees apart. The deflection range of the adjustment rod 204h is 90 degrees.
[0056] Specifically, the claw arm assembly 200 also includes a power component 205, which is disposed within the gripper 201e. This includes a worm gear 205a fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft 204a, a first power rod 205b rotatably connected within the gripper 201e, a worm gear 205c fixed to the surface of the first power rod 205b, the worm gear 205c meshing with the worm gear 205a, a support block 205d fixed within the gripper 201e, the first power rod 205b rotatably connected within the support block 205d, a bevel gear 205e fixed to the end of the first power rod 205b, and a second power rod 205f rotatably connected within another support block 205d.
[0057] There are two bevel gears 205e, which are fixed to the ends of the first power rod 205b and the second power rod 205f respectively. The two bevel gears 205e mesh with each other, so that the second power rod 205f can drive the first power rod 205b to rotate synchronously. The first power rod 205b can drive the worm wheel 205a to rotate through the worm 205c.
[0058] Specifically, the power component 205 also includes a half gear 205g fixed to the surface of the drive shaft 201c, a toothed plate 205h slidably connected inside the gripper 201e, the half gear 205g and the toothed plate 205h meshing, a support plate 205i fixed to one side of the toothed plate 205h, a third spring 205j fixed to one side of the support plate 205i, a fixing block 205k fixed to the other end of the third spring 205j, the fixing block 205k fixed inside the gripper 201e, and a limit post 205l fixed inside the gripper 201e.
[0059] The surface of the half gear 205g has teeth only within a 180-degree range. The third spring 205j is in a stretched state. The support plate 205i is used to pull the toothed plate 205h. The limiting post 205l is used to support the support plate 205i, thereby positioning the toothed plate 205h. The fixing block 205k is used to fix and support the other end of the third spring 205j.
[0060] When the drive frame 201b deflects, causing the two grippers 201e to move closer together to clamp the workpiece, the half gear 205g on the surface of the drive shaft 201c drives the toothed plate 205h to move. At this time, the third spring 205j begins to contract. When the teeth of the half gear 205g separate from the toothed plate 205h, the support plate 205i moves to the side of the limit post 205l, causing the toothed plate 205h to stay in place. At this time, the drive frame 201b can continue to deflect, causing the two grippers 201e to move closer together, thereby clamping and fixing the workpiece with the clamping block 201g. That is, the teeth of the half gear 205g separate from the toothed plate 205h first, and the clamping block 201g clamps and fixes the workpiece afterward, and there is a certain distance between the two. This distance ensures that the cleaning column 203j will not come into contact with the workpiece when it moves on the surface of the clamping block 201g.
[0061] Specifically, a rotating wheel 205m is fixed on the surface of the second power rod 205f. A clamping plate 205n is rotatably connected to the rotating wheel 205m via a rotating shaft. A toothed ring 205o is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating wheel 205m. The toothed ring 205o and the toothed plate 205h mesh with each other. A groove 205o-1 is opened in the toothed ring 205o, and the clamping plate 205n is clamped in the groove 205o-1.
[0062] A compression spring is provided on one side of the clamping plate 205n to support it, allowing the clamping plate 205n to be engaged in the clamping slot 205o-1. When the two grippers 201e approach each other, the toothed plate 205h begins to move upward. At this time, the toothed plate 205h drives the toothed ring 205o to rotate, while the clamping plate 205n slides across the surface of the clamping slot 205o-1, preventing the toothed ring 205o from driving the rotating wheel 205m to rotate. When the two grippers 201e move away from each other, the toothed plate 205h begins to move downward. At this time, the toothed ring 205o can drive the rotating wheel 205m to rotate through the clamping plate 205n, thereby causing the rotating wheel 205m to drive the first power rod 205b to rotate through the second power rod 205f.
[0063] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0064] 1. It can automatically charge during the opening and closing of the gripper 201e, and automatically start after the gripper 201e opens and closes a certain number of times to clean the gripping block 201g. This function significantly reduces the frequency of manual cleaning and labor costs, and improves the automation level of the production line.
[0065] 2. The cleaning action of the clamping block 201g occurs during the time period when the gripper 201e releases the workpiece, thereby avoiding interference with the normal operation of the gripper 201e during the cleaning process. This design ensures the continuity and efficiency of the production line and will not interrupt or reduce production efficiency due to the cleaning work.
[0066] 3. Automatic cleaning effectively reduces the accumulation of oil on the surface of the 201e gripper, which helps to improve the clamping accuracy and stability of the 201e gripper and reduces workpiece displacement and damage caused by oil.
[0067] When in use, as the robotic arm is working normally, the two grippers 201e will continuously move closer and further apart.
[0068] When the two grippers 201e approach each other, the half gear 205g drives the toothed plate 205h to start moving upward. At this time, the toothed plate 205h drives the toothed ring 205o to rotate, while the clamping plate 205n slides over the surface of the clamping groove 205o-1, so that the toothed ring 205o cannot drive the rotating wheel 205m to rotate.
[0069] When the two grippers 201e move away from each other, the toothed plate 205h begins to move downwards. At this time, the toothed ring 205o can drive the rotating wheel 205m to rotate through the clamping plate 205n. This causes the rotating wheel 205m to drive the first power rod 205b to rotate through the second power rod 205f. The first power rod 205b can drive the worm wheel 205a to rotate through the worm gear 205c. The worm wheel 205a drives the drive disk 204b to rotate through the rotating shaft 204a. When the drive disk 204b rotates, it can drive the drive block 204c to slide within the drive groove 204f-1. The rotating sleeve 204g causes the moving plate 204f to slide on the surface of the slide rod 204e. At this time, the moving plate 204f stretches the second spring 204l through the fixed column 204k and the connecting block 204j, causing the second spring 204l to be stretched again. In the initial process of the second spring 204l being stretched, the second spring 204l begins to deflect towards the adjusting rod 204h. During this process, the adjusting rod 204h will not deflect, and at the same time, the adjusting disk 204n will not rotate, so that the release groove 204b-1 on the driving disk 204b will be released during this process. Move the driving plate 204b away from the adjusting plate 204n, and position the driving plate 204b within the positioning groove 204n-1 of the adjusting plate 204n. This positions the adjusting plate 204n and prevents it from rotating. After the two springs 204l and the adjusting rod 204h coincide, as the moving plate 204f continues to move, the two springs 204l begin to move away from the adjusting rod 204h. At this time, the tension of the two springs 204l can cause the adjusting rod 204h to deflect. However, the adjusting plate 204n is limited by the driving plate 204b, preventing it from rotating. The rotating rod 203a cannot drive the adjusting rod 204h to deflect until the moving plate 204f moves to the other end of its stroke. Then, another release groove 204b-1 on the surface of the drive plate 204b moves to the side of the adjusting plate 204n, allowing the adjusting plate 204n to rotate. Under the reset pull of the two springs 204l, the adjusting rod 204h can be deflected. This causes the rotating rod 203a to drive the swing rod 203b and the cleaning rod 203c to move, so that the cleaning rod 203c drives the cleaning column 203j to clean the surface of the clamping block 201g.
[0070] Since the drive disk 204b can only rotate during the time period when the two grippers 201e are far apart, the cleaning rod 203c cleans the clamping block 201g during the time period after the grippers 201e release the workpiece.
