[0002] A handling robot is an industrial robot that replaces humans to complete material handling operations. It is widely used in multiple industries such as industrial manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and port terminals, and is one of the most widely used industrial robots currently. On an automated production line, especially in workstations with high repetition, heavy labor intensity or safety risks such as material handling and loading and unloading of machine tools, the handling robot can effectively reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency. Currently, the mainstream handling robots on the market are mostly medium and large-sized devices with two or four degrees of freedom for heavy-duty operations and macroscopic movements.

[0045] Embodiment 6 The handling method of the five-degree-of-freedom handling device is specifically implemented according to the following steps: Step 1: Control the first servo motor 8 to start, drive the transmission rotating shaft 1-7 to rotate, and then through the transmission of the transmission gear 1-8 and the gear rod 1-6, the two claw jaws 1 can be driven to depart from or approach each other to complete the clamping action; Step 2: Start the fifth servo motor 2. The fifth servo motor 2 drives the boom 5 to make a pitching motion, and then start the fourth servo motor 11 to drive the forearm 4 to make a pitching motion; Step 3: Start the three-phase asynchronous motor 12. The three-phase asynchronous motor 12 drives the rotation of the waist connecting body 6 through the transmission shaft 6-8, that is, drives the overall structure on the top of the base 7 to rotate; Step 4: Start the third servo motor 10 to drive the connecting wrist 3 to make a side-swinging motion; Step 5: Start the second servo motor 9 to drive the connecting wrist 3 and the clamping unit to rotate, and then reverse the first servo motor 8. The two claw jaws 1 release the clamped object, and the handling operation can be completed.

[0046] The working principle of the five-degree-of-freedom handling device of the present invention is as follows: The first servo motor 8 drives the transmission rotating shaft 1-7 to rotate, drives the transmission gear 1-8 to rotate, the transmission gear 1-8 drives the gear of one of the gear rods 1-6 to rotate, and the gear of the other gear rod 1-6 rotates accordingly, so as to drive the gripper 1 to approach and complete the clamping of the item. According to the actual operation conditions, the three-phase asynchronous motor 12 drives the transmission shaft 6-8 to rotate, the transmission shaft 6-8 drives the connecting cylinder 6-7 to rotate, the connecting cylinder 6-7 drives the waist housing 6-5 to rotate, the fifth servo motor 2 drives the boom 5 to move, the fourth servo motor 11 drives the forearm 4 to make a pitching motion, the third servo motor 10 drives its subsequent device to make a side-swing motion through the joint connector 4-1, the second servo motor 9 drives the connecting shaft 3-5 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 3-5 drives the connecting shell 3-6 to rotate, so as to drive the clamped item to move. When the item rotates to the corresponding position, reverse the first servo motor 8, and the two grippers 1 release the item to complete the handling operation.

[0047] The five-degree-of-freedom handling device of the present invention adopts a modular joint structure design. The device has a compact structure and a small volume. The five degrees of freedom are all driven by independent servo motors, meeting the requirements of multiple degrees of freedom during heavy-duty operations. In cooperation with the parallelogram gripper mechanism, the flexibility and adaptability of the system motion are significantly improved; each degree of freedom can be independently controlled, with good attitude control ability, suitable for complex path handling tasks, and the system space adaptability and operation efficiency are significantly improved.
