Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to a sliding device for robot pipelines. Background Art

[0002] A robot is a mechanical device that can automatically perform tasks and complete complex movements and operations through programming and instructions. With the continuous development of production automation, robots play an increasingly important role in production. Monotonous and tedious tasks can be completed by robots, which not only saves manpower but also improves work efficiency. In addition, when the robot's arm moves, the robot arm is connected to many conductive harnesses for controlling its movement. In order to ensure the safety of these conductive harnesses and control the stability of the robot arm's operation, the robot's conductive harnesses are usually placed in a pipeline package for protection. For example, the authorization announcement number CN109049001B discloses a robot pipeline package.

[0003] At present, some robots often need to translate their workstations for operation during operation. However, the translation process of the robot will cause the conductive wiring harness in the pipeline package to bend and swing significantly. Frequent and significant bending can easily cause fatigue damage to the metal core in the conductive wiring harness, or even breakage and damage to the metal core. At the same time, frequent and significant swinging of the conductive wiring harness in the pipeline package can also cause continuous shaking at the connection of the conductive wiring harness, which can not only easily affect the stability of the connection of the conductive wiring harness, but also easily damage the interface of the robot used to connect the conductive wiring harness, thereby affecting the reliability and life of the conductive wiring harness in the pipeline package, and also easily affecting the reliability of the robot.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of a robot pipeline sliding device are:

[0017] 1. Through the linkage mechanism, conductive core strip, U-shaped conductive block and insulating movable seat, when the robot is driven to translate the workstation, the robot drives the insulating movable seat to move through the linkage mechanism. The insulating movable seat can ensure reliable sliding through the extension block, movable sleeve and guide rod, and can ensure that the conductive path between the conductive core strip and the U-shaped conductive block is unobstructed, and the robot harness will not be bent, damaged or swing greatly during the sliding process. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the ability to slide and conduct electricity, avoids the conductive harness in the robot pipeline from bending and swinging greatly, and can improve the protection of the robot connection pipeline interface, thereby improving the reliability of the robot's work.

[0018] 2. Through the sliding resistance detection mechanism set up, when the conductive core strip and the U-shaped conductive block accumulate heat and expand due to continuous power-on heating and sliding friction heating, the sliding resistance of the U-shaped conductive block caused by thermal expansion increases, and then the conductive rod and the U-shaped conductive rod will be misaligned, so that the top ends of the first metal rod and the second metal rod are in contact with the power strip on one side of the first insulating block, and an electrical signal is sent to the input end of the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the micro air pump to spray and cool down for 15 minutes to avoid the conductive core strip and the U-shaped conductive block from accumulating heat and continuing to expand, thereby reducing the sliding resistance. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the function of cooling the sliding conductive structure, thereby reducing the efficiency of the wear of the sliding conductive structure, and at the same time ensuring the reliability of the sliding device and the robot.

[0019] 3. Through the sliding resistance detection mechanism and adjustment mechanism, as the use time of the sliding device increases, the conductive core strip whose material hardness is lower than that of the U-shaped conductive block is gradually consumed. Before the conductive core strip is worn and separated from the U-shaped conductive block, the horizontal side end of the L-shaped metal rod is in contact with the two energized metal rods. Then the two energized metal rod circuits send an electrical signal to the PLC controller, prompting the PLC controller to start a preset control program for the electric push rod according to the electrical signal. Then the adjustment mechanism lifts the height of the conductive core strip, appropriately expands the connection area between the top of the conductive core strip and the U-shaped conductive block, and at the same time, the conductive core strip is lifted to separate the L-shaped metal rod from the two energized metal rods. By lifting the conductive core strip multiple times, the ability of automatic compensation for the wear of the conductive core strip is realized, and the time for the conductive core strip to contact and conduct electricity with the U-shaped conductive block is extended. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the function of adjusting the position of the conductive core strip, and improves the ability of the conductive core strip and the U-shaped conductive block to continuously conduct electricity, thereby improving the reliability of the sliding device and the robot.

[0020] 4. Through the provided connection mechanism and U-shaped conductive block, when the conductive core strip is worn and needs to be replaced, the rubber sealing plate is raised to the highest position, and then the bottom of the U-shaped conductive block contacts the reminder circular protrusion, which triggers the corresponding alarm to emit an audible and visual alarm, and reminds the maintenance personnel to replace the consumed conductive core strip in time. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the function of reminding the replacement of the worn conductive core strip, thereby avoiding the situation where the sliding device cannot be used normally due to the maintenance personnel's failure to replace the conductive core strip in time, and at the same time improves the reliability of the sliding device and the robot.

[0033] A square through hole is provided at the bottom end of the conductive rod 15, and a sliding resistance detection mechanism 9 is movably connected to the hole wall of the square through hole. The sliding resistance detection mechanism 9 includes a U-shaped conductive rod 91 movably connected to the inner wall of the square through hole at the bottom end of the conductive rod 15. Two insulating springs 92 are movably sleeved on the rod wall of the U-shaped conductive rod 91.

[0034] The top ends of the first metal rod 97 and the second metal rod 98 are both provided with a first conductive ball 5, and the bottom end of the L-shaped metal rod 910 is provided with a second conductive ball 18. Both the first conductive ball 5 and the second conductive ball 18 can reduce the wear of the contact surface.

[0035] The number of connecting mechanisms 7, conductive core strips 11, sliding resistance detection mechanisms 9, reset switches 73, alarms 74 and conductive connecting rods 17 is the same, and the material hardness of the conductive core strips 11 is lower than the material hardness of the U-shaped conductive block 93. Therefore, when the conductive core strips 11 rub against the U-shaped conductive block 93, the conductive core strips 11 are worn first. The two energized metal rods 912 are electrically connected to the input end of the PLC controller 16 through wires, and the second metal rod 98 is also electrically connected to the input end of the PLC controller 16 through wires. The electric push rod 62 and the micro air pump 65 are electrically connected to the output end of the PLC controller 16 through wires. The above electrical connection is a prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0036] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: before the robot needs to translate, the sliding base 1 is fixed to the robot station by the fixing plate 2, and at the same time, the multiple conductive wire ends of the robot harness are connected to the metal frames 71 in the multiple connecting mechanisms 7 in turn through the harness protective tube 86, and are fastened by the fixing bolts 72, and then the porous connecting block 85 in the linkage mechanism 8 is installed on the robot moving base by screws, and the angle of the support rod 81 is adjusted by adjusting the through hole 84 and the bolt and nut connector 82, and then the support rod 81 is fastened by the bolt and nut connector 82, and in addition, the multiple conductive connecting rods 17 are respectively connected to the conductive wires of the harness controlling the robot, and one conductive connecting rod 17 is only connected to one conductive wire;

[0037] When the robot is driven to translate the workstation, the robot drives the insulating movable seat 13 to move through the linkage mechanism 8. The insulating movable seat 13 can ensure reliable sliding through the extension block 19, the movable sleeve 20 and the guide rod 21. During the sliding process of the insulating movable seat 13, it can also ensure that the conductive connecting rod 17, the conductive bottom rod 4, the conductive core bar 11, the U-shaped conductive block 93, the U-shaped conductive rod 91, the conductive rod 15 and the conductive line of the connecting mechanism 7 are unobstructed, and the robot wiring harness will not be bent, damaged or swing greatly during the sliding process. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the ability to slide and conduct electricity, avoids the conductive wiring harness in the robot pipeline from bending and swinging greatly, and can improve the protection of the robot connection pipeline interface, thereby improving the reliability of the robot's work.

[0038] When the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93 expand due to accumulated heat caused by continuous power-on heating and sliding friction, the thermal expansion of the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93 can not only increase the friction loss, but also increase the sliding resistance of the device. At the same time, the sliding resistance of the U-shaped conductive block 93 caused by thermal expansion increases, and then the conductive rod 15 and the U-shaped conductive rod 91 will be misaligned. At the same time, the two insulating springs 92 deform to generate restoring force, and the U-shaped conductive block 93 is also misaligned with the U-shaped conductive rod 91. Then the first metal rod 97 and the second metal rod 98 on the second insulating block 96 are misaligned with the first insulating block 94 at the same time, and contact the power strip 95 on one side of the first insulating block 94. At this time, the circuits of the first metal rod 97 and the second metal rod 98 are connected, and the second metal rod 98 sends an electrical signal to the input end of the PLC controller 16, and the PLC controls The device 16 runs the corresponding preset program according to the electrical signal, and controls the micro air pump 65 to be powered on and work for 15 minutes. The micro air pump 65 draws air through the conduit 66 and the porous air nozzle 67 to spray air into the sliding base 1, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation on the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93. The dissipated heat is discharged through the rectangular through hole 10 and the top of the support frame 12 to avoid the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93 accumulating heat and continuing to expand, thereby reducing the sliding resistance. After the micro air pump 65 is powered on and works for 15 minutes, it automatically cuts off the power and stops blowing. If the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93 heat up again, the above steps are repeated to cool down, and the speed of wear of the sliding conductive structure is reduced. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the function of cooling the sliding conductive structure, thereby reducing the efficiency of wear of the sliding conductive structure, and at the same time ensuring the reliability of the sliding device and the robot.

[0039] As the use time of the sliding device increases, the conductive core strip 11, which has a material hardness lower than that of the U-shaped conductive block 93, is gradually consumed. At this time, the L-shaped metal rod 910 gradually drops under the action of gravity as the conductive core strip 11 is consumed, but the bottom of the L-shaped metal rod 910 is always in contact with the top surface of the conductive core strip 11. Before the conductive core strip 11 is worn and consumed and is about to separate from the U-shaped conductive block 93, the horizontal side end of the L-shaped metal rod 910 is in contact with the two energized metal rods 912. Then the two energized metal rods 912 are connected in circuit and send an electrical signal to the input end of the PLC controller 16. Then the PLC controller 16 starts the preset program for controlling the electric push rod 62 according to the electrical signal. The electric push rod 62 is controlled to gradually extend. Then the electric push rod 62 pushes the piston 63 to move. The piston 63 squeezes the water layer 64 inside the liquid tank 61. Then the water layer 64 enters the bottom end of the sliding base 1 and lifts the height of the rubber sealing plate 3 at the same time. Then the rubber sealing plate 3 is The sealing plate 3 raises the height of the conductive core strip 11 through the conductive bottom rod 4, appropriately expands the connection area between the top of the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93, and at the same time, the conductive core strip 11 raises the height of the L-shaped metal rod 910. After the L-shaped metal rod 910 is separated from the two energized metal rods 912, the circuit of the energized metal rod 912 is disconnected, and the PLC controller 16 loses the electrical signal, and then the PLC controller 16 controls the electric push rod 62 to stop pushing the piston 63, so as to avoid the conductive core strip 11 being excessively lifted and the contact area with the U-shaped conductive block 93 being too large, thereby increasing the sliding resistance. Through the above steps, the conductive core strip 11 can be lifted multiple times to realize the ability of automatic compensation for the wear of the conductive core strip 11 and extend the contact time of the conductive core strip 11 with the U-shaped conductive block 93. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the function of adjusting the position of the conductive core strip 11, and improves the ability of the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93 to continuously conduct electricity, thereby improving the reliability of the sliding device and the robot.

[0040] When the conductive core strip 11 is worn and needs to be replaced, the rubber sealing plate 3 is lifted to the highest position, and the bottom of the U-shaped conductive block 93 contacts the reminder round protrusion 75. Then, when the U-shaped conductive block 93 slides, the reminder round protrusion 75 will lift the U-shaped conductive block 93 to a certain height. At this time, the U-shaped conductive block 93, the U-shaped conductive rod 91 and the conductive rod 15 transmit the lifted height. The conductive rod 15 realizes the transmission of the height change through the up and down deformation of the rubber sleeve 14, and finally lifts the metal frame 71 of the connecting mechanism 7. Then the reset switch 73 loses the squeezing constraint of the metal frame 71 and is energized. Then the alarm 74 corresponding to the conductive core strip 11 emits an audible and visual alarm, and reminds the maintenance personnel to replace the corresponding conductive core strip 11 in time, to ensure the stability of continuous conductivity between the conductive core strip 11 and the U-shaped conductive block 93. This mechanism enables the sliding device to have the function of reminding the wear and replacement of the conductive core strip 11, to avoid the situation where the sliding device cannot be used normally due to the maintenance personnel not replacing the conductive core strip 11 in time, and to improve the reliability of the sliding device and the robot.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
