The robot comprises a robot body, a protective frame provided at the end of the robot body, a rotating gear provided on the side wall of the robot body, a cylinder provided in the protective frame, a lifting plate provided at the end of the cylinder, and a clamping assembly provided at the bottom of the lifting plate.

At the same time, the clamping block is acted upon by the telescopic spring, causing a rotating roller provided at the end of the clamping block to contact the surface of the spherical part. During the upward movement of the spherical part, the rotating roller rotates under friction and drives magnesium powder to be applied to the surface of the spherical part. When the spherical part moves to the upper end of the clamping plate and squeezes the clamping plate, the clamping plate is acted upon by the torsion spring to clamp and fix the spherical part. The magnesium powder increases the clamping strength of the contact surface between the clamping plate and the spherical part, thereby improving the stability of the clamping of the spherical part.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial robots, and in particular to a multi-joint industrial robot and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] Industrial robots are multi-joint manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom machine devices widely used in the industrial field. Industrial robots can rely on their own power and control capabilities to achieve various industrial processing and manufacturing functions. They have been widely used in industrial production, logistics, chemical industry and other fields. Industrial robots need to be installed with grasping devices before work to grasp, locate or transfer products. Robot technology is the symbol of the new generation of industrial revolution.

[0003] There are many existing technologies for multi-joint industrial machines, such as:

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116833985A, a multi-joint industrial robot, relates to the field of industrial robot technology and includes an anti-drop mechanism, which is arranged below the gripping mechanism. The mechanism drives a high-temperature sphere to move to the inner side of the anti-drop mechanism through friction, and limits the high-temperature sphere by wrapping it. The gripping mechanism cooperates with a connecting rod structure to drive the high-temperature sphere to move. The robot also includes a guide assembly and a clamping assembly. The bottom of the guide assembly is rotatably connected to a clamping table, and a first motor is fixedly connected to the lower position of the clamping table surface. In this multi-joint industrial robot, when the clamping assembly approaches and contacts the high-temperature sphere, the clamping assembly drives the high-temperature sphere to approach the clamping table through friction. At the same time, the first motor drives the clamping assembly to deflect. The four clamping assemblies deflect centripetally at the same time, so that the high-temperature sphere is clamped into the interior of the clamping table, solving the problem of how to grasp the surface of a high-temperature spherical object to prevent the sphere from falling.

[0005] However, in actual use, there are still some problems that need to be solved:

[0006] 1. During the production process, existing multi-joint industrial robots typically use clamps to clamp spherical objects. However, due to the relatively smooth surface of spherical objects, they are prone to slipping during the clamping process. Once this happens, the operator needs to perform a secondary clamping operation, which undoubtedly greatly increases the operator's labor intensity and reduces production efficiency. Moreover, frequent secondary clamping may cause damage to the spherical objects, affecting product quality.

[0007] 2. If the clamping assembly becomes loose during use, the spherical part is very likely to fall and roll, which may not only damage the spherical part itself, but also pose a serious safety hazard to nearby workers. For example, the falling spherical part may hit the worker's foot or hit the worker during rolling, causing injury.

[0040] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] One of the purposes of the present invention is to Figures 1-8As shown, a multi-joint industrial robot is provided, including a robot body 100, a protective frame 101 is provided at the end of the robot body 100, a rotating gear 102 is provided on the side wall of the robot body 100, a cylinder 200 is provided in the protective frame 101, a lifting plate 201 is provided at the end of the cylinder 200, a limiting rod 202 is provided between the lifting plate 201 and the robot body 100, and a first rack 203 is provided on both sides of the limiting rod 202. When the first rack 203 moves, it drives the rotating gear 102 to rotate. The bottom of the lifting plate 201 is provided with a There is a clamping assembly 300. When the cylinder 200 drives the lifting plate 201 to move downward in the vertical direction, the clamping assembly 300 automatically clamps the spherical part. An anti-slip assembly 400 is provided at the end of the clamping assembly 300. The anti-slip assembly 400 is used to apply magnesium powder to the clamping surface of the spherical part to increase the friction between the spherical part and the clamping assembly 300; a protective assembly 500 is provided on one side of the rotating gear 102. The protective assembly 500 is used to automatically protect the spherical part that slips from the clamping assembly 300 to prevent the spherical part from falling to the ground and being deformed and damaged.

[0042] When processing the spherical part, in order to facilitate the rapid grasping of the spherical part, the clamping assembly 300 includes a motor 301 arranged on the top of the lifting plate 201, and a main gear 302 is provided at the output end of the motor 301. A sub-gear 303 is provided at the bottom of the main gear 302, and the sub-gear 303 is arranged in a circular array. A screw rod 304 is provided at the end of the sub-gear 303, and a movable base plate 305 is provided on the surface of the screw rod 304. The movable base plate 305 moves on the surface of the screw rod 304, and a fixed rod is provided at the bottom of the movable base plate 305. A clamping plate 306 is provided on the surface of the fixed rod for rotation, and a torsion spring 307 is provided on the surface of the fixed rod. The two ends of the torsion spring 307 are respectively connected to the movable base plate 305 and the clamping plate 306. The clamping plate 306 is subjected to the force of the torsion spring 307 and forms an angle of 20° with the movable base plate 305. The protective frame 101 is driven by the robot body 100 to move above the spherical part to be processed, and the spherical part is clamped. When the lifting plate 201 is lowered, the lifting plate 201 is driven to move downward, and the clamping plate 306 is moved downward to limit the spherical part. When the clamping plate 306 continues to move downward, the spherical part squeezes the upper part of the clamping plate 306, and the clamping plate 306 rotates on the fixed surface. When the clamping plate 306 rotates to fit the outer wall of the moving base plate 305, the piston rod at the end of the control cylinder 200 stops moving. At this time, the side wall of the spherical part is squeezed between the clamping plates 306 to be quickly fixed, thereby improving the efficiency of grabbing the spherical part.

[0043] Taking into account that the surface of the spherical part is relatively smooth, in order to avoid it slipping during the grasping process, causing the surface of the spherical part to be bumped and deformed, and affecting the processing quality of the spherical part, a rubber pad 308 is provided on the side of the splint 306 close to the spherical part. The rubber pad 308 is used to increase the friction with the spherical part. By arranging the rubber pad 308 on the surface of the splint 306, during the grasping and clamping process of the spherical part, the rubber pad 308 can increase the friction with the contact surface of the sphere, thereby preventing the sphere from falling during the grasping process, improving the clamping force and stability of the sphere, and preventing the sphere from slipping and being damaged.

[0044] Since the surface of the spherical piece is relatively smooth, it is easy to slide during the clamping process of the spherical piece, resulting in the spherical piece falling, bumping and deforming during the clamping and placing process. Therefore, the upper length of the clamping plate 306 rotating along the fixed rod is greater than the radius of the spherical piece to be clamped. A groove 309 is provided at the bottom of the clamping plate 306, and an anti-slip component 400 is provided in the groove 309. The anti-slip component 400 is used to apply magnesium powder to the side wall of the clamped spherical piece. The anti-slip component 400 includes a magnesium powder tank 401 arranged on the outside of the movable base plate 305, and an electric valve is provided at the bottom of the magnesium powder tank 401. The end of the electric valve is connected to a bellows 402, which passes through the groove 309 and is provided with a block 403 at the end. The block 403 is wedge-shaped, and a cavity is provided above the block 403. A rotating roller 404 is provided at the end of the cavity. A cowhide pad is provided on the surface of the rotating roller 404. The end of the bellows 402 is connected to the inside of the cavity, and an extension is provided between the block 403 and the groove 309. The bottom of the clamping block 403 is pressed against the expansion spring 405, and the bottom of the clamping block 403 is pressed against the inside of the groove 309. When the spherical part is clamped, the clamping plate 306 is clamped and fixed by the force of the torsion spring 307, so that the contact surface between the clamping plate 306 and the spherical part is improved by the clamping strength of the clamping plate 306 and the spherical part, thereby preventing the spherical part from sliding and falling, thereby further improving the stability of the spherical part clamping.

[0045] In order to enable the rotating roller 404 to perform the clamping operation, the operator needs to frequently fill the cavity tightly with magnesium powder to ensure that the fur pad on the surface of the rotating roller 404 is adhered with magnesium powder to brush the surface of the spherical part when the rotating roller 404 is rotated by friction. Therefore, a sliding rod 310 is provided on the side of the movable base plate 305 away from the spherical part. The sliding rod 310 passes through the movable base plate 305 and is provided with a knocking ball 311 at the end. A compression spring 312 is provided between the sliding rod 310 and the movable base plate 305. When the splint 306 is used to clamp the spherical part, the splint 306 pushes the sliding rod 310 when it rotates, so that the sliding rod 310 knocks on the anti-slip component 400, controlling the cylinder 20 When the lifting plate 201 is driven downward by the lifting plate 201, the clamping plate 306 is squeezed by the spherical part and rotates on the surface of the fixed rod. The clamping plate 306 is clamped by the torsion spring 307 to clamp the spherical part. When the clamping plate 306 is squeezed by the spherical part and rotates, it pushes the sliding rod 310. The sliding rod 310 drives the knocking ball 311 to move horizontally to knock the magnesium powder tank 401, so that the magnesium powder contained in the magnesium powder tank 401 is transmitted to the cavity through the bellows 402, thereby ensuring that the fur pad on the surface of the rotating roller 404 is always adhered to the magnesium powder during the rotation process, so that the surface of the spherical part is coated with magnesium powder during the movement, reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0046] Taking into account that when the spherical piece slides and falls to the ground during the grasping process, the spherical piece has the rolling property and may easily injure workers at other workstations during the rolling process, the protection component 500 includes a column 504 provided on both sides of the bottom of the protection frame 101, a moving rod 505 is slidingly provided on the inner wall of the column 504, an elastic member 506 is provided between the column 504 and the moving rod 505, an anti-drop box 503 is provided at the end of the moving rod 505, the anti-drop box 503 is semicircular, a buffer pad 507 is provided at the bottom of the anti-drop box 503, an arc groove 508 is provided at the center of the bottom of the anti-drop box 503, and the anti-drop box 503 is provided with a buffer pad 507. 03 is provided with a telescopic clamp 509 inside. When the spherical piece falls, it is clamped between the telescopic clamps 509. A second rack 501 is provided on the side of the rotating gear 102 away from the first rack 203. When the rotating gear 102 moves, it drives the second rack 501 to move in the opposite direction. A pull rope is provided at the bottom of the second rack 501, and the pull rope is connected to the end of the anti-fall box 503. A fixed pulley 502 is provided under the second rack 501. When the pull rope moves, it moves in contact with the bottom of the fixed pulley 502. In the process of clamping the spherical piece, the cylinder 200 drives the lifting plate 201 to move downward in the vertical direction, and the lifting plate 201 drives the first rack 203 to move vertically. When the first rack 203 moves, it drives the rotating gear 102 to rotate, and the second rack 501 provided on one side of the rotating gear 102 moves in the opposite direction in the vertical direction. The second rack 501 pulls the anti-drop box 503 to move to both sides during the movement. The anti-drop box 503 drives the moving rod 505 to slide on the inner wall of the column 504 during the movement. At the same time, the moving rod 505 squeezes the elastic member 506 to form an opening between the anti-drop boxes 503, which is convenient for the clamping plate 306 to move down to clamp and fix the spherical member. When the spherical member is clamped, the lifting plate 201 is driven up by the cylinder 200, and the first rack 203 drives the rotating gear 1 02 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the second rack 501 to move downward in the vertical direction. The moving rod 505 provided at the end of the anti-fall box 503 is pushed by the restoring force of the elastic member 506, causing the anti-fall boxes 503 to move closer to each other, forming an enclosure between the anti-fall boxes 503. When the spherical member clamped between the splints 306 falls during the movement, the spherical member squeezes the telescopic clamp 509 to move to both sides. The telescopic clamp 509 can buffer the impact force of the spherical member when it falls, so that the bottom of the sphere falls smoothly into the arc groove 508, preventing the spherical member from popping out of the anti-fall box 503, thereby improving the safety of the processing process and avoiding safety hazards.

[0047] During specific use, the robot body 100 drives the protective frame 101 to move above the spherical part to be clamped. The robot body 100 includes a base, a waist joint, an upper arm joint, a lower arm joint, a wrist joint and a protective frame 101 at the end, wherein the base provides stable support for the entire robot and is usually fixed on a workbench or the ground; the waist joint connects the base and the upper arm joint, enabling the robot to rotate and expand the working range of the robot; the upper arm joint connects the waist joint and the lower arm joint, enabling pitching motion and increasing the robot's operating space; the lower arm joint connects the upper arm joint and the wrist joint, enabling rotation and pitching motion, further improving the robot's flexibility; the wrist joint connects the lower arm joint and the end effector, has multiple degrees of freedom, and can achieve precise posture adjustment of the end effector.

[0048] When it is necessary to clamp the spherical part, the control cylinder 200 drives the lifting plate 201 to descend. When the lifting plate 201 descends, it drives the clamping plate 306 to move downward. The clamping plate 306 is enclosed to limit the spherical part. When the clamping plate 306 continues to move downward, the spherical part squeezes the upper part of the clamping plate 306, and the clamping plate 306 rotates on the fixed surface. When the clamping plate 306 rotates to fit the outer wall of the movable base plate 305, the piston rod at the end of the control cylinder 200 stops moving. At this time, the side wall of the spherical part is squeezed between the clamping plates 306, so that it is quickly fixed, thereby improving the efficiency of grabbing the spherical part.

[0049] During the downward movement of the splint 306, the bottom of the clamping block 403 first contacts the side wall of the spherical part. The bottom of the clamping block 403 slides into the inside of the telescopic spring 405 under the pressure of the spherical part. At the same time, the clamping block 403 is acted upon by the telescopic spring 405, so that the rotating roller 404 provided at the end is in contact with the surface of the spherical part. During the upward movement of the spherical part, the rotating roller 404 is rotated by the friction force. Since the cavity is filled with magnesium powder, the magnesium powder is applied to the surface of the spherical part during the rotation of the rotating roller 404. When the spherical part moves to the upper end of the splint 306 and squeezes the splint 306, the splint 306 is clamped and fixed by the torsion spring 307, so that the contact surface between the splint 306 and the spherical part is improved by the clamping strength through the magnesium powder, thereby preventing the spherical part from sliding and falling, thereby further improving the stability of the spherical part clamping.

[0050] The cylinder 200 drives the lifting plate 201 to move downward in the vertical direction, and the lifting plate 201 drives the first rack 203 to move in the vertical direction. When the first rack 203 moves, it drives the rotating gear 102 to rotate, and the second rack 501 provided on one side of the rotating gear 102 moves in the opposite direction in the vertical direction. The second rack 501 pulls the anti-drop box 503 to move to both sides during the movement. The anti-drop box 503 drives the moving rod 505 to slide on the inner wall of the column 504 during the movement. At the same time, the moving rod 505 squeezes the elastic member 506 to form an opening between the anti-drop boxes 503, which is convenient for the clamping plate 306 to move downward to clamp and fix the spherical member. When the spherical member is clamped, the lifting plate 200 is driven by the cylinder 200. When the plate 201 moves up, the first rack 203 drives the rotating gear 102 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the second rack 501 to move downward in the vertical direction. The moving rod 505 provided at the end of the anti-fall box 503 is pushed by the restoring force of the elastic member 506, so that the anti-fall boxes 503 are moved closer to each other, forming an enclosure between the anti-fall boxes 503. When the spherical member clamped between the clamping plates 306 falls during the movement, the spherical member squeezes the telescopic clamp 509 to move to both sides. The telescopic clamp 509 can buffer the impact force of the spherical member when it falls, so that the bottom of the sphere falls smoothly into the arc groove 508, preventing the spherical member from popping out of the anti-fall box 503, thereby improving the safety of the processing process and avoiding safety hazards.

[0051] A second object of the present invention is to provide a multi-joint industrial robot processing method, comprising any one of the multi-joint industrial robots described above, comprising the following steps:
