Description

Technical Field

[0002] A robotic arm is an automated device that imitates some functions of a human arm, can achieve automatic control, repeated programming, and complete various tasks in three-dimensional space. Due to its unique operational flexibility, it is widely used in industrial assembly, safety and explosion-proof and other fields. For example, a robotic arm with a double-layer limit structure for an industrial robot is proposed in patent announcement number CN212497743U.

[0003] At present, in the actual use of the robot arm, in order to prevent the problem of over-limit, the software program of the control system is usually used to implement the primary limit, and the limit switch is used for the secondary limit.

When the robot arm needs to move to perform different tasks, the operator often has to spend a lot of time to debug the placement of the limit switch, which undoubtedly seriously affects the working efficiency of the robot arm. In addition, in order to enhance the gripping stability and protect the grasped object, the mechanical claw in the robotic arm usually has multiple rubber strips on its inner wall. However, as the usage time increases, the rubber strips will inevitably wear out.

[0025] The operating principle of the present invention is now explained as follows: when using the mechanical arm structure 11, after using the software program to implement primary limiting of the mechanical arm structure 11, it is also necessary to use the first limiting structure 14 and the second limiting structure 23 to implement secondary limiting of the mechanical arm structure 11. First, according to the use requirements, the moving distance of the movable seat 2 is limited, and the guide slide frame 18 on the front and rear sides is slid through the mutual cooperation of the indicator plate 49 and the scale plate 50. The guide slide frame 18 will drive the cross bar 21 and the first blocking block 22 to move to a certain distance on the surface of the conductive plate 16 through the vertical rod 20, and then the guide slide frame 18 and the guide slide rail 17 are relatively fixed by the positioning bolt 19. When the software program fails to limit the primary position of the mechanical arm structure 11 due to a malfunction, the driving motor 7 will drive the threaded rod 6 to rotate continuously. Through the threaded cooperation, the threaded cylinder 9 will drive the moving seat 2, turntable 4 and mechanical arm structure 11 and other components through the guide plate 10. When the threaded cylinder 9 moves in one direction, while driving the moving seat 2 to move, it will drive the first elastic telescopic rod 142 and the conductive block 15 to move on the surface of the conductive plate 16 through the cross plate 141. When the conductive block 15 exceeds the set safety range during movement, the conductive block 15 will contact the first blocking block 22 on one side. Through the mutual cooperation of the inclined surfaces between the conductive block 15 and the first blocking block 22, the conductive block 15 will overcome the elastic force of the upper first elastic telescopic rod 142 and move upward, so that the conductive block 15 and the conductive plate 16 are immediately separated. Since the conductive plate 16 is electrically connected to the external power supply, and the conductive block 15 is electrically connected to the drive motor 7, when the conductive plate 16 and the conductive block 15 are separated, the circuit of the drive motor 7 will be disconnected immediately, so that the drive motor 7 loses power and stops working. Similarly, the components such as the moving seat 2, the turntable 4 and the mechanical arm structure 11 will also stop moving immediately, thereby achieving the purpose of protection. Similarly, when it is necessary to limit the rotation angle of the turntable 4 and the mechanical arm structure 11, the two fixing cylinders 27 are respectively mounted on the outside of the two fixing pins 28 on the outside of the limiting ring 231 according to the use requirements, and the fixing cylinder 27 and the fixing pin 28 are fixed by the mutual cooperation of the positioning pin 31 and the positioning groove on the surface of the fixing pin 28. When the rotation angle of the turntable 4 and the mechanical arm structure 11 is controlled within the working range of ninety degrees, the distance between the angles of the two fixing cylinders 27 is ninety degrees. When the primary limit of the mechanical arm fails due to a fault in the software program, the rotating motor 8 will drive the turntable 4 to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the turntable 4, it will drive the conduction block 25 to rotate together through the second elastic telescopic rod 24. When the turntable 4 drives the conduction block 25 to rotate through the second elastic telescopic rod 24, the angle After exceeding the set angle, the top rod 26 of the rod wall of the second elastic telescopic rod 24 will contact the second blocking block 30. Through the cooperation of the inclined surface of the second blocking block 30, the top rod 26 will drive the moving end of the second elastic telescopic rod 24 and the conductive block 25 to move away from the conductive ring 232. The conductive ring 232 is electrically connected to the external power supply, and the conductive block 25 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 8. When the conductive ring 232 and the conductive block 25 are separated, the circuit of the rotating motor 8 will be disconnected, so that the rotating motor 8 will stop working immediately, so that the turntable 4 and the mechanical arm structure 11 will also stop rotating, which plays a protective role and avoids the need to spend a lot of time when the traditional mechanical arm structure 11 uses a limit switch to adjust the position, thereby improving the convenience of the operator to adjust the secondary limit of the mechanical arm; Before the robot arm starts working, it is necessary to use the detection component 33 to detect the wear degree of the rubber strip 13 on the surface of the electric clamp 12. The PLC controller 3 first controls the electric push rod 332 to work, and the electric push rod 332 drives the electric slide rail 34, the connecting rod 35 and the friction seat 42 to move downward to the specified position (refer to Fig. 9The PLC controller 3 then controls the electric slide rail 34 to drive the friction seats 42 on both sides to move forward to the set position, so that the friction seats 42 on both sides are in the middle position of the rear side of the electric clamp 12. The PLC controller 3 then controls the electric clamp 12 to work, and the rubber strips 13 on both sides of the rear of the electric clamp 12 will contact the friction seats 42 on both sides respectively, and a certain extrusion force will be generated. When the pressure sensor on the inner wall of the electric clamp 12 detects that the extrusion force between the rubber strip 13 and the friction seat 42 reaches the set threshold value (50N), the pressure sensor will control the electric clamp 12 through the PLC controller 3. Stop working, then the PLC controller 3 controls the electric slide 34 to continue working, the moving end of the electric slide 34 drives the detection box 36 to move through the connecting rod 35, and at this time the friction seat 42 and the rubber strip 13 stop moving due to the existence of friction, the friction seat 42 will drive the sliding block 37 to slide relatively in the detection box 36 through the fixed rod 40, the sliding block 37 will drive the power-on plate 38 to move backward together, the power-on plate 38 will contact the resistor plate 39 during the backward movement, the power-on plate 38 is electrically connected to the external power supply, and the rear end of the resistor plate 39 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 3, when the power-on plate 38 is in contact with the resistor plate 39, an electrical signal will be transmitted to the PLC controller 3, and When the power-carrying plate 38 slides backward on the surface of the resistor plate 39, the length of the resistor plate 39 connected to the circuit of the PLC controller 3 will be shortened. When the external voltage remains unchanged, the strength of the electrical signal transmitted to the PLC controller 3 will increase. When the rubber strip 13 becomes smoother due to wear, the friction between the rubber strip 13 and the friction seat 42 will decrease. After the smaller friction force drives the sliding block 37 and the power-carrying plate 38 to move backward a short distance, the elastic force generated by the compression of the spring between the sliding block 37 and the detection box 36 will exceed the friction force, thereby causing the friction seat 42 and the rubber strip 13 to slide relative to each other, and the current signal transmitted to the circuit of the PLC controller 3 will not increase. When the PLC controller 3 detects that the current signal transmitted by the resistor plate 39 is no longer increasing, it will analyze the current current signal. When the analysis shows that the current current signal is less than the preset current signal 2A, it means that the rubber strip 13 is seriously worn. During the operation of the electric slide rail 34, the end of the electric slide rail 34 will drive the movable frame 47 and the metal block 48 to move synchronously. The metal block 48 will continuously contact multiple metal plates 46 during the movement. When the PLC controller 3 detects that the rubber strip 13 is seriously worn, it will control the corresponding indicator light 45 to be always on through the corresponding metal block 48 and metal plate 46, indicating that the rubber strip 13 at this position is seriously worn and needs to be replaced in time.

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.
