DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 and Figure 8 As shown:

[0043] Embodiment 1: The present invention provides a quick replacement structure, comprising:

[0044] The fixing mechanism 1 comprises a fixing assembly 11;

[0045] The actuator mechanism 2 includes a connecting component 21 that is snap-fitted and connected to the fixing component 11;

[0046] The fixing assembly 11 includes a fixing arm 111, the outer side of the fixing arm 111 is rotatably connected to a knob 112, and a torsion spring 113 is also arranged inside the knob 112;

[0047] The mechanical arm mechanism 3 includes a mechanical arm body 31 and a motor 32 disposed in the mechanical arm body 31. The fixing component 11 is rotatably embedded in one end of the mechanical arm body 31, and the driving end of the motor 32 is fixedly connected to the fixing component 11. Turning on the motor 32 can make the fixing component 11 rotate on the mechanical arm body 31.

[0048] When the end effector is replaced and docked, the actuator mechanism 2 is moved and the knob 112 is turned so that the connecting component 21 is embedded in the fixed arm 111 for fixation. When the knob 112 is turned, the torsion spring 113 will accumulate force. After being released, the knob 112 will rotate and reset to position the fixed arm 111. When the fixation needs to be released, the knob 112 can be turned to rotate the fixed arm 111 to release the fixation of the connecting component 21.

[0049] Specifically, the fixed arm member 111 includes a fixed arm body 1111, a guide block 1112 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the fixed arm body 1111, and a limit slot 1113 is also provided on the outer side of the fixed arm body 1111;

[0050] The guide block 1112 ensures that the connecting assembly 21 can slide along the correct track during installation, thereby avoiding the problem of installation misalignment. The limit slot 1113 is provided on the outside of the fixed arm body 1111 to limit the rotation range of the knob 112 and provide a stable support point for it.

[0051] The knob member 112 includes a hollow knob 1121, an active cavity 1122 is formed inside the hollow knob 1121, an L-shaped positioning frame 1123 is fixedly connected to one side of the hollow knob 1121, a limiting sleeve of the hollow knob 1121 is arranged outside the limiting slot 1113, a torsion spring 113 is located in the active cavity 1122, and one end of the torsion spring 113 is embedded in the hollow knob 1121, and the other end of the torsion spring 113 is embedded in the fixed arm body 1111;

[0052] The movable cavity 1122 provides an installation space for the torsion spring 113, while ensuring the flexibility of the knob 112 during the rotation process. The L-shaped positioning frame 1123 is used to be embedded in the positioning groove 213 of the connecting component 21 after the knob is rotated to achieve a stable connection. The guide arc surface 1124 enables the L-shaped positioning frame 1123 to slide into the positioning groove 213 more easily during the embedding process, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the connection.

[0053] The torsion spring 113 is located in the movable cavity 1122 , one end of which is embedded in the hollow knob 1121 , and the other end is embedded in the fixed arm body 1111 . When the knob 112 is rotated, the torsion spring 113 generates elastic force to drive the knob 112 to reset.

[0054] The connection assembly 21 includes a connection head 211, a guide groove 212 is formed inside one side of the connection head 211, and a positioning groove 213 is formed inside the connection head 211 near the guide groove 212;

[0055] The connecting head 211 is used as the connecting part of the end effector. A guide groove 212 and a positioning groove 213 are designed inside the connecting head 211. The guide groove 212 cooperates with the guide block 1112 to ensure the accuracy of the connecting component 21 during the installation process. The positioning groove 213 is used to receive the card embedding of the L-shaped positioning frame 1123 to achieve a stable connection.

[0056] The guide slot 212 is slidably engaged with the guide block 1112 , and the torsion spring 113 drives the hollow knob 1121 to rotate and causes the L-shaped positioning frame 1123 to be engaged with the positioning slot 213 .

[0057] Specifically, a guide arc surface 1124 is further provided on the outer edge of the L-shaped positioning frame 1123 .

[0058] As can be seen from the above, when the end effector is replaced and docked, the actuator mechanism 2 is moved so that the guide groove 212 on one side of the connector 211 is slidably engaged with the guide block 1112;

[0059] When the connector 211 moves against the guide arc surface 1124, the L-shaped positioning frame 1123 drives the hollow knob 1121 to rotate, and the rotation of the hollow knob 1121 causes the torsion spring 113 to twist and store force in the active cavity 1122;

[0060] When the guide slot 212 is completely slid and engaged with the guide block 1112 , the torsion spring 113 is reset to make the L-shaped positioning frame 1123 rotate and be engaged with the positioning slot 213 , thereby achieving a connection and fixing effect.

[0061] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown:

[0062] Embodiment 2: A robot arm end effector includes the quick-change structure as described above, wherein the actuator mechanism 2 further includes a driving assembly 22 fixedly mounted on the connecting assembly 21, a clamping claw assembly 23 disposed at one end of the driving assembly 22, and a buckle assembly 24 mounted on one side of the connecting assembly 21;

[0063] The clamping jaw assembly 23 is rotatably engaged with the buckle assembly 24 and is driven by the driving assembly 22 .

[0064] Specifically, the driving assembly 22 includes a cylinder 221, the output end of the cylinder 221 is fixedly connected to a push frame 222, and the outer side of the cylinder 221 is also fixedly connected to a mounting circular plate 223;

[0065] Among them, the cylinder 221 is the core component of the driving assembly. The cylinder 221 is responsible for providing the driving force required by the clamping jaw assembly 23. When the cylinder 221 receives a control signal, its internal piston will reciprocate, thereby pushing the push frame 222 to move.

[0066] The push frame 222 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 221 and moves with the movement of the cylinder piston. The push frame 222 can effectively transmit the driving force of the cylinder to the clamping jaw assembly 23, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the clamping jaw.

[0067] The mounting circular plate 223 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylinder 221 and is used to stably mount the cylinder on the connecting assembly 21. The mounting circular plate 223 is penetrated by a screw and fixed to the mounting plate 214, thereby achieving a firm connection between the cylinder and the connecting assembly.

[0068] The interior of the connector 211 is also fixedly connected to a mounting plate 214, and the mounting circular plate 223 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 214 after being penetrated by a screw rod;

[0069] Among them, the connecting head 211 is the core part of the connecting assembly. The connecting head 211 not only undertakes the task of connecting with the fixed arm member, but also provides a platform for installing the driving assembly, the clamping claw assembly and the buckle assembly.

[0070] The mounting plate 214 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting head 211 and is used to install and support the mounting circular plate 223 in the driving assembly 22. The mounting plate 214 is connected by screws to ensure the stability and reliability between the driving assembly and the connecting assembly.

[0071] As can be seen from the above, the mounting circular plate 223 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 214 after being penetrated by a screw, so that the cylinder 221 is fixed on the connecting assembly 21 .

[0072] Embodiment 3: This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the fixing mechanism 1 further includes a positioning screw 12 rotatably embedded in the fixing assembly 11;

[0073] A positioning hole 224 is also provided on the outer side of the cylinder 221;

[0074] Among them, the positioning hole 224 is opened on the outside of the cylinder 221, and cooperates with the positioning screw 12 to achieve accurate fixation of the cylinder 221;

[0075] A threaded hole 1114 is further provided on the outer side of the fixed arm body 1111 , and the positioning screw 12 is rotatably engaged in the threaded hole 1114 and embedded in the positioning hole 224 .

[0076] Specifically, the clamping jaw assembly 23 includes a clamping jaw body 231, an arc-shaped clamping groove 232 is provided inside the clamping jaw body 231, one end of the clamping jaw body 231 is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting plate 233, and the other end of the connecting plate 233 is rotatably embedded in the push frame 222;

[0077] The clamp body 231 is the core component of the clamp assembly 23. An arc-shaped clamping groove 232 is provided inside the clamp body 231 for clamping and fixing the object to be grasped. The arc-shaped clamping groove 232 enables the clamp body 231 to adapt to objects of different shapes and sizes, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the grasping operation.

[0078] One end of the connecting plate 233 is rotatably connected to the clamp body 231 , and the other end is rotatably engaged with the push frame 222 , so that the clamp body 231 can be opened and closed under the drive of the cylinder 221 , thereby achieving the grasping and releasing of the object.

[0079] The buckle assembly 24 includes a buckle cover 241, and a connection hole frame 242 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the buckle cover 241;

[0080] The buckle cover 241 is the main body of the buckle assembly, and a connecting hole frame 242 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the buckle cover 241 for connecting with the connecting head 211 .

[0081] The connection hole frame 242 is provided with holes for installing bolts. These holes are not only used to fix the buckle cover 241, but also used as the shaft rod of the clamp body 231, so as to realize the rotation connection of the clamp body 231;

[0082] The edge of the clamp body 231 is also rotatably connected to the connecting hole frame 242 .

[0083] Specifically, a clamping ring 215 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the connector 211;

[0084] A snap ring groove 243 is also provided on one side of the snap cover 241. The snap ring groove 243 is snapped onto the snap ring 215 and fixed by bolts passing through the connecting hole frame 242. One of the bolts passes through the connecting hole frame 242 and at the same time passes through the clamp body 231 and serves as the shaft rod of the clamp body 231.

[0085] As can be seen from the above, the positioning screw 12 is rotated and embedded in the threaded hole 1114 and embedded in the positioning hole 224, which can further fix the cylinder 221, thereby improving the stability of the device;

[0086] The snap ring groove 243 is snapped onto the snap ring 215 and fixed by passing bolts through the connecting hole frame 242, so that the snap cover 241 can be stably fixed to one end of the connecting head 211, thereby protecting the internal parts of the clamping jaw assembly 23. At the same time, one of the bolts passes through the connecting hole frame 242 and serves as the shaft of the clamping jaw body 231, providing an axis point for the rotation of the clamping jaw body 231.

[0087] Controlling the operation of the air cylinder 221 can cause the push frame 222 to drive the connecting plate 233 to move, and the movement of the connecting plate 233 can cause the clamp body 231 to rotate, thereby opening the clamp body 231. When the clamp body 231 is opened, the claw tip can be used to clamp objects normally. When encountering larger objects, the retracted arc-shaped clamping groove 232 can be used to clamp them.
