[0004] Currently, for the assembly process of the bionic joint module, most rely on manual operation. The manual operation process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of modern industrial production for efficient assembly.

For traditional manual installation, it is difficult for manual operation to ensure the alignment consistency of multiple screw holes, resulting in a high rework rate and thus reducing the efficiency of the entire process. For this purpose, the present invention realizes the rapid assembly of the gland and the housing by proposing a bionic joint rapid assembly robotic arm. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Embodiment:

[0027] As Figure 1-7As shown in the figure, a bionic joint rapid assembly robotic arm includes a base 1. A first arm 2 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the base 1 along a vertical axis.

One end of the second arm 3 away from the first arm 2 is rotatably connected to a third arm 4 along a horizontal axis. One end of the third arm 4 away from the second arm 3 is rotatably connected to a fourth arm 5 along a horizontal axis. One end of the fourth arm 5 away from the third arm 4 is connected to a vertically arranged assembly plate 6. On the side of the assembly plate 6 away from the fourth arm 5, a housing gripper 7, a cover gripper 8, a first guide rail 9, and a screw assembly component slidably arranged up and down on the first guide rail 9 are sequentially assembled from bottom to top. A cover 69 gripping arm 10 is rotatably arranged on the side of the assembly plate 6 along a vertical axis. An electric telescopic rod 11 is installed vertically downward at one end of the cover 69 gripping arm 10 away from the assembly plate 6. A disk 12 is installed at the lower end of the electric telescopic rod 11. A plurality of electric suction cups are installed on the lower side of the disk 12.

[0028] The cover body gripper 8 includes a first left claw member 13 and a first right claw member 14 which are symmetrically arranged left and right. The assembly plate 6 is horizontally provided with a first driving hole 15 penetrating through both sides at positions corresponding to the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14. On the side of the assembly plate 6 away from the fourth arm portion 5, a second guide rail 16 is horizontally arranged above the first driving hole 15. Both the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14 are horizontally slidably connected to the second guide rail 16. On the side of the assembly plate 6 facing the fourth arm portion 5, a first lead screw 17 is horizontally arranged at a position corresponding to the first driving hole 15. A first driving gear 18 is coaxially sleeved in the middle of the first lead screw 17. The first driving gear 18 is driven by a first driving motor 19. The thread rotation directions of the first lead screw 17 on both sides of the first driving gear 18 are opposite. The first left driving block 20 and the first right driving block 21 are threadedly and matingly connected to the first lead screw 17 on the left and right sides of the first driving gear 18 respectively. The first left driving block 20 is connected to the first left claw member 13, and the first right driving block 21 is connected to the first right claw member 14. The housing gripper 7 includes a second left claw member and a second right claw member which are symmetrically arranged left and right. The assembly plate 6 is horizontally provided with a second driving hole penetrating through both sides at positions corresponding to the second left claw member and the second right claw member. On the side of the assembly plate 6 away from the fourth arm portion 5, a third guide rail is horizontally arranged above the second driving hole. Both the second left claw member and the second right claw member are horizontally slidably connected to the third guide rail. On the side of the assembly plate 6 facing the fourth arm portion 5, a third lead screw is horizontally arranged at a position corresponding to the second driving hole. A second driving gear is coaxially sleeved in the middle of the third lead screw. The second driving gear is driven by a fourth driving motor. The thread rotation directions of the third lead screw on both sides of the second driving gear are opposite. The second left driving block and the second right driving block are threadedly and matingly connected to the third lead screw on the left and right sides of the second driving gear respectively. The second left driving block is connected to the second left claw member, and the second right driving block is connected to the second right claw member. When grasping the housing 68 by the housing gripper 7, first separate the second left claw member and the second right claw member of the housing gripper 7, then move the respective arm portions to place the second left claw member and the second right claw member on both sides of the housing 68, and then move closer to each other to clamp the housing 68.

[0029] On the opposite sides of the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14, they are both recessed to form a first cylindrical surface 22. A number of ball bearings 23 are arranged to roll along the circumference on the first cylindrical surface 22 of the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14. A micro motor for driving at least one ball bearing 23 to rotate is arranged inside the first left claw member 13, not shown in the figure. A number of downward jet nozzles 25 are arranged above the ball bearings 23 on the first cylindrical surfaces 22 of the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14. The jet nozzles 25 are connected to an external air supply device through an air supply pipe. The jet nozzles 25 adjust the air flow pressure (0.1 - 0.5 MPa) through a PLC control module to provide a stable downward pressure to assist in positioning the cover body. A first distance sensor 26 is arranged above the ball bearings 23 on the first cylindrical surface 22 of the first left claw member 13. In order to improve the assembly efficiency and accuracy, and to adapt to mechanized processing and assembly, the present invention has made some small adjustments to the housing 68 and the cover body 69 of the bionic joint. Magnetic attraction grooves 71 and magnetic attraction bumps 70 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the housing 68 and the cover body 69 for positioning. When the magnetic attraction bump 70 is fitted into the magnetic attraction groove 71, all the screw mounting holes on the cover body 69 are aligned with the screw holes on the housing 68. Based on this setting, the alignment process of the present invention for the entire cover body 69 and the housing 68 is as follows: First, the cover body gripping arm 10 rotates to the side of the assembly plate 6, then the electric telescopic rod 11 is extended to place the disc 12 under the assembly plate 6. Then, through the adjustment of each arm part, the disc 12 is aligned with the cover body 69, and then the cover body 69 is adsorbed on the lower side of the disc 12 through an electric suction cup. Then, the electric telescopic rod 11 is contracted, and the cover body gripping arm 10 is rotated to enable the cover body 69 to move from above the cover body gripper 8 to the middle of the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14. During the adsorption and movement of the cover body 69, a housing 68 can be grabbed by the housing gripper 7 through the movement of each arm part. The cover body 69 and the housing 68 can be respectively conveyed by two conveyor belts. In the pre-process of this robotic arm, other robotic arms can be used to adjust the postures of the cover body 69 and the housing 68, so as to facilitate the quick grasping of the housing 68 and the cover body 69 by this robotic arm. After the housing 68 is grabbed in place, the electric telescopic rod 11 is extended to place the cover body 69 on the upper side of the housing 68, and the cover body 69 is fixed by closing the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14. Then, the electric telescopic rod 11 is shortened, and the cover body gripping arm 10 is moved to the outside of the assembly plate 6. When the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14 clamp the cover body 69, the micro motor drives the ball bearings 23 to rotate, and the rotating ball bearings 23 drive the cover body 69 to rotate between the first left claw member 13 and the first right claw member 14, so that the magnetic attraction bump 70 on the cover body 69 can be aligned and fitted with the magnetic attraction groove 71 on the housing 68.In order to facilitate the smooth rotation of the cover body 69 driven by the ball 23 connected to the micro-motor drive, the surface of this ball 23 is set as a friction surface, and the surfaces of other balls 23 are set as smooth surfaces. At the same time, a gas with a set flow rate is ejected through the gas nozzle 25 to generate a downward thrust on the cover body 69. With the gas, the self-gravity of the cover body 69, and the magnetic attraction of the magnetic attraction protrusion 70 and the magnetic attraction groove 71, they can be fitted together instantly when the magnetic attraction protrusion 70 and the magnetic attraction groove 71 are aligned. By setting the first distance sensor 26, the distance from the upper side of the cover body 69 can be detected by the distance sensor. When the magnetic attraction protrusion 70 and the magnetic attraction groove 71 are fitted, the distance monitored by the first distance sensor 26 changes from the first distance to the second distance, so as to judge that the fitting is completed. Special note, since the magnetic attraction protrusion 70 and the magnetic attraction groove 71 are fitted when the cover body 69 is placed, and the distance monitored by the first distance sensor 26 is the second distance, the step of driving the cover body 69 to rotate by the micro-motor is directly skipped. The movement of each arm is achieved by the cooperation of the program with the vision sensor 50 and the like to realize precise movement control. In this way, when the postures of the housing 68 are the same, the positions where the second left claw member and the second right claw member clamp the housing 68 are basically the same. In this way, it is possible to judge whether the cover body 69 and the housing 68 are aligned by the first distance and the second distance.

[0030] A rotating cavity 27 is provided inside the first left claw member 13. The first cylindrical surface 22 is communicated with the rotating cavity 27 through a rotating hole 28. An upper movable groove 29 and a lower movable groove 30 are respectively provided on the upper cavity wall and the lower cavity wall of the rotating cavity 27. Upper and lower rotating shafts 31 and 32 are coaxially provided at the upper and lower ends of the ball 23 respectively. The upper rotating shaft 31 is slidably arranged in the upper movable groove 29, and the lower rotating shaft 32 is slidably arranged in the lower movable groove 30. An upper spring 33 is installed on the groove wall of the upper movable groove 29 far from the first cylindrical surface 22. One end of the upper spring 33 facing the first cylindrical surface 22 is rotationally attached to the side surface of the upper rotating shaft 31 through an upper top block 34. A lower spring 35 is installed on the groove wall of the lower movable groove 30 far from the first cylindrical surface 22. One end of the lower spring 35 facing the first cylindrical surface 22 is rotationally attached to the side surface of the lower rotating shaft 32 through a lower top block 36. With such a setting, it is possible to compress the upper spring 33 and the lower spring 35 respectively by means of the upper rotating shaft 31 and the lower rotating shaft 32 of the ball 23 to give the ball 23 a certain amount of movement space, and at the same time, it can fit well with the surface of the cover body 69. The micro motor can drive one or more balls 23 to rotate in any way such as through a transmission belt, gears, sprockets, etc. For example, a driven sprocket is sleeved on the upper rotating shaft 31 of one of the balls 23, and a driving sprocket is sleeved on the output shaft of the micro motor. The driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are driven by a chain. The position of the driven sprocket on the upper rotating shaft 31 is between the outside of the upper movable groove 29 and the upper end of the ball 23 to avoid affecting the rotation of the driven sprocket when installed in the upper movable groove 29. In addition, in order to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the upper rotating shaft 31 and the lower rotating shaft 32, a steel ball bearing can be sleeved on the outer wall of the upper rotating shaft 31, and the outer wall of the steel ball bearing is slidably attached to the groove wall of the upper movable groove 29, and a steel column bearing is sleeved on the outer wall of the lower rotating shaft 31, and the outer wall of the steel ball bearing is slidably attached to the groove wall of the lower movable groove 30. In this way, the smoothness of the rotation of the ball 23 can be improved, so that the ball can move linearly along the upper movable groove 29 and the lower movable groove 30 by means of the upper rotating shaft 31 and the lower rotating shaft 32 while maintaining the smoothness of free rotation. Therefore, both the upper top block 34 and the lower top block 36 are attached to the outer wall of the steel ball bearing to push the ball 23.

[0031] A second distance sensor 37 for aligning with the ball 23 is installed on the cavity wall of the rotating cavity 27 on the side far from the first cylindrical surface 22. When the ball 23 is not in contact with the cover body 69, with the thrust of the upper spring 33 and the lower spring 35, the upper rotating shaft 31 and the lower rotating shaft 32 are attached to the side groove walls of the upper movable groove 29 and the lower movable groove 30 facing the first cylindrical surface 22. When the ball 23 starts to contact the cover body 69, it will squeeze the ball 23, causing the ball 23 to compress the upper spring 33 and the lower spring 35 and move towards the second distance sensor 37, so that the distance detected by the second sensor is reduced. At this time, the first drive motor 19 can be stopped.

[0032] The screw assembly component includes a driving plate 38 and an assembly box 39 installed on the side of the driving plate 38 away from the assembly plate 6. There are two first guide rails 9 arranged in parallel. A second lead screw 40 is vertically arranged between the two first guide rails 9 on the assembly plate 6. A second driving motor 41 for driving the second lead screw 40 to rotate is installed at the top of the assembly plate 6. The driving plate 38 is connected to the two first guide rails 9 through a guide groove 42 and slides up and down. A driving screw hole 43 penetrating the upper and lower sides is provided on the driving plate 38. The driving screw hole 43 is threadedly matched with the second lead screw 40. An assembly cavity 44 is provided inside the assembly box 39. A circular rotating disk hole 45 communicating with the assembly cavity 44 is provided on the lower side of the assembly box 39. An assembly disk 46 rotating along the vertical axis is installed in the rotating disk hole 45. A number of assembly holes 47 are provided on the assembly disk 46. An electric screwdriver 48 is installed in each assembly hole 47. A third driving motor 49 for driving the assembly disk 46 to rotate is installed in the assembly cavity 44. A vision sensor 50 is installed at the center of the lower side of the assembly disk 46. By means of the cooperation of the second lead screw 40 and the second guide rail 16, the assembly box 39 can be moved up and down under the drive of the second driving motor 41. During the process of assembling its housing 68 and cover 69, the assembly box 39 moves to the uppermost end, leaving a moving space for the cover 69 grasping arm 10. When the cover 69 and the housing 68 are aligned, the assembly box 39 is driven by the second motor to move downward. During the movement, with the cooperation of the vision sensor 50 and the third driving motor 49, the assembly disk 46 rotates, so that each electric screwdriver 48 is aligned with the screw mounting holes on the cover 69 one by one. In this way, all the screws 67 can be sequentially screwed into the screw mounting holes and screw holes by multiple electric screwdrivers 48 at the same time, which can quickly complete the assembly process of all the screws 67 and greatly shorten the assembly time of the housing 68 and the cover 69. By adjusting the positions of the assembly holes 47 on the assembly disk 46, each electric screwdriver 48 can correspond to the screw mounting holes one by one when contacting the cover 69.

[0033] The electric screwdriver 48 is installed in the assembly hole 47 through the mounting sleeve 51. The outer wall of the mounting sleeve 51 is fixedly connected to the hole wall of the assembly hole 47. The electric screwdriver 48 is slidably arranged up and down in the mounting sleeve 51. A nail feeding tube 52 is connected to the lower end of the mounting sleeve 51 below the assembly disk 46. A conveying hose 53 communicating with the nail feeding tube 52 is installed on the side of the middle part of the nail feeding tube 52. One end of the conveying hose 53 far from the nail feeding tube 52 is connected to a screw vibrating disk. Two nail clamping blocks 54 are oppositely arranged at the bottom of the nail feeding tube 52. The opposite sides of the two nail clamping blocks 54 are respectively provided with a first conical surface 55 and a second cylindrical surface 56 which are connected in sequence up and down. The radius of the upper end of the first conical surface 55 is greater than that of the lower end. The upper ends of the two nail clamping blocks 54 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the nail feeding tube 52 through a horizontally arranged rotating rod 57, so that the lower ends of the two nail clamping blocks 54 move away from or close to each other. The sides of the two nail clamping blocks 54 moving away from each other are connected to the inner wall of the nail feeding tube 52 through a limiting spring 58. When the assembly box 39 moves to the upper end of the assembly plate 6, a screw 67 is conveyed into the conveying hose 53 through the screw vibrating disk, and the screw 67 is made to enter the nail feeding tube 52 along the conveying hose 53 through the pneumatic system. In the nail feeding tube 52, it falls between the two nail clamping blocks 54 by gravity. The rod part of the screw 67 is placed between the second cylindrical surfaces 56 of the two nail clamping blocks 54, and the head of the screw 67 is placed between the first conical surfaces 55 of the two nail clamping blocks 54. The two first conical surfaces 55 are used to clamp the head of the screw 67 to prevent the screw 67 from falling off. When the screw 67 moves downward together with the assembly box 39 to be aligned with the screw hole 47 of the screw 67, the lifting assembly in the mounting sleeve 51, such as an electric telescopic rod or a pneumatic telescopic rod, drives the electric screwdriver 48 to move downward. After the screwdriver head 66 of the electric screwdriver 48 contacts the head of the screw 67, it will push the screw 67 downward. At this time, the two nail clamping blocks 54 will squeeze the limiting spring 58 to move away from each other, so that the screw 67 can move from between the two nail clamping blocks 54 to the screw installation hole, and under the drive of the screwdriver head 66, it is quickly screwed into the screw hole of the housing 68.

[0034] A guiding ring 59 is installed on the inner wall of the nail feeding tube 52 between the conveying hose 53 and the nail clamping block 54. The inner wall of the guiding ring 59 is set as an inverted second conical surface 60. By setting the guiding ring 59, it is possible to shield the connection between the upper part of the nail clamping block 54 and the nail feeding tube 52 and the upper part of the moving position of the nail clamping block 54 to prevent the screw 67 from falling outside and getting stuck in these positions. With the help of the second conical surface 60, when the screw 67 contacts the second conical surface 60, it can still be smoothly clamped into the second cylindrical surface 56.

[0035] The conveying hose 53 is communicated with the inner wall of the nail feeding pipe 52 through the conveying hole 61. The nail feeding pipe 52 is provided with a sliding plug hole 62 penetrating inside and outside above the conveying hole 61. A sliding plate 63 is slidably connected in the sliding plug hole 62. One end of the sliding plate 63 is vertically connected with a baffle 64 in the nail feeding pipe 52 to shield the conveying hole 61. A micro electric telescopic rod 65 for driving the sliding plate 63 to slide along the sliding plug hole 62 is installed on the outer wall of the nail feeding pipe 52. In order to improve the assembly efficiency, when other operations are carried out, a screw 67 will be pre-fed to the position at the connection of the nail feeding pipe 52 and the conveying hose 53. At this time, with the help of the baffle 64, the screw 67 can be prevented from falling into the nail feeding pipe 52. Only when the electric screwdriver 48 finishes assembling the previous screw 67 and retracts into the installation sleeve 51, the micro electric telescopic rod 11 is used to drive the sliding plate 63 to move towards the inside of the nail feeding pipe 52, so that the baffle 64 moves towards the inside of the nail feeding pipe 52, and thus the screw 67 can smoothly fall into the nail feeding pipe 52. During the falling process of the screw 67, a small amount of gas can be conveyed in the conveying hose 53 to push the screw 67 to ensure that the screw 67 can smoothly enter the nail feeding pipe 52. And with the baffle 64 blocking the advancing direction of the screw 67, it can be avoided that the screw 67 impacts too much and the excessive collision causes the attitude deviation to be too large and cannot be correctly clamped between the two staple blocks 54.
