DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 The present invention is described in further detail.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a rubber tapping machine based on a hexapod robot includes a hexapod robot 1. Compared with wheeled or tracked robots, the hexapod robot 1 can walk stably in environmental conditions such as complex terrain and slippery ground, and has stronger adaptability.

[0025] The top of the hexapod robot 1 is rotatably connected to the support platform 11. A rotating motor is provided under the chassis of the hexapod robot 1. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to the support platform 11. The rotating motor can drive the support platform 11 to rotate 360°. A vertical support rod 12 is fixedly connected to the support platform 11. The top of the support rod 12 is hinged to a robotic arm 13. The other end of the robotic arm 13 is hinged to a rubber tapping device 2. The height of the rubber tapping device 2 can be adjusted by rotating the robotic arm 13.

[0026] The rotation of the support platform 11 can drive the support rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the rubber tapping device 2 to rotate through the mechanical arm 13, giving the entire machine a 360-degree rotation function, while ensuring the stability of the entire machine and improving the operating efficiency and quality during rubber tapping.

[0027] The rubber tapping device 2 includes a bracket 3 and a clamping assembly 4. One side of the bracket 3 is hinged to the mechanical arm 13. The other side of the bracket 3 opposite to the mechanical arm 13 is provided with a clamping assembly 4. The clamping assembly 4 includes two vertically arranged support rods 41 that are rotatably connected to the bracket 3. The upper and lower ends of the two support rods 41 are respectively fixed with a pair of upper snap rings 42 and a pair of lower snap rings 43. The upper snap ring 42 and the lower snap ring 43 on the same side are coaxial semicircular rings. The bracket 3 is provided with a clamping drive that drives a pair of upper snap rings 42 and a pair of lower snap rings 43 to rotate synchronously to expand or close. Mechanism 5, a vertical tool lifting mechanism 6 is provided between the upper retaining ring 42 and the lower retaining ring 43 on the same side, the tool lifting mechanism 6 includes a slide rail assembly 61 extending in the up and down directions, the slide rail assembly 61 is slidably connected to the tool assembly 62, the slide rail assembly 61 is provided with a tool assembly driving part 63 for driving the tool assembly 62 to slide up and down, the upper and lower ends of the slide rail assembly 61 are respectively provided with a slide part 7 between the upper retaining ring 42 and the lower retaining ring 43 on the same side, and the slide rail assembly 61 is provided with a surrounding motor 8 for driving the slide rail assembly 61 to slide along the slide part 7.

[0028] The pair of upper snap rings 42 and the pair of lower snap rings 43 of the clamping assembly 4 can be synchronously rotated to expand or close through the clamping drive mechanism 5. Adding this device can further improve the stability of the tapping device. Compared with the traditional one-machine-one-tree tapping device, the clamping assembly 4 can automatically adjust its position with the rubber tree and automatically clamp it.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 3 includes a support rod 31, a support block 32 and a support plate 33. The two ends of the support rod 31 are respectively vertically fixed to the support plate 33. The support block 32 is fixed to the middle of the support rod 31. A drive motor 131 is provided at one end of the robotic arm 13 close to the bracket 3. One side of the support block 32 is hinged to the robotic arm 13 and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the drive motor 131.

[0030] When the driving motor 131 is working, it can drive the bracket 3 to rotate with the rotating shaft of the driving motor 131, ensuring that the pair of upper snap rings 42 and the pair of lower snap rings 43 on the clamping assembly 4 maintain a coaxial position with the rubber tree stem, making it convenient for the pair of upper snap rings 42 and the pair of lower snap rings 43 to clamp the rubber tree.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the clamping drive mechanism 5 includes a machine base 51 fixedly connected to the support plate 33, two support rods 41 respectively pass through the corresponding support plates 33 and are fixedly connected to the corresponding upper retaining rings 42 and lower retaining rings 43, the machine base 51 is arranged opposite to the corresponding support plate 33, the outer side of the machine base 51 is fixedly connected to the clamping motor 52, the output shaft of the clamping motor 52 is coaxially connected to the support rod 41, and the two support rods 41 are respectively fixedly connected to the helical gears 53 that mesh with each other.

[0032] The mutually meshing helical gears 53 include two pairs, and the two pairs of helical gears 53 are respectively close to the upper and lower ends of the bracket 3.

[0033] When the clamping motor 52 is working, it can drive the support rod 41 connected to it to rotate, thereby driving the upper snap ring 42 and the lower snap ring 43 on the same side to rotate with the support rod 41 as the axis. Since the two support rods 41 are provided with mutually meshing bevel gears 53, a pair of upper snap rings 42 and a pair of lower snap rings 43 can be synchronously expanded or closed.

[0034] Before the rubber tapping machine works, the clamping motor 52 drives the support rod 41 connected to it to rotate, and drives a pair of upper snap rings 42 and a pair of lower snap rings 43 to unfold, and then the hexapod robot 1 is moved and aligned, and the driving motor 131 drives the bracket 3 to rotate with the rotating shaft of the driving motor 131 to ensure that the pair of upper snap rings 42 and the pair of lower snap rings 43 on the clamping assembly 4 maintain a coaxial position with the rubber tree stem. The clamping motor 52 is reversed, driving the pair of upper snap rings 42 and the pair of lower snap rings 43 to embrace the rubber tree. This method of clamping and alignment is simple, precise, and highly automated.

[0035] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the slide rail assembly 61 includes a first slide bar 611, a baffle 612 and a slider 613. The two ends of the first slide bar 611 are respectively fixedly connected to the baffle 612 vertically. The first slide bar 611 includes two and parallel to each other. The slider 613 is slidably arranged on the two first slide bars 611. The inner side of the slider 613 is connected to the tool assembly 62. The tool assembly driving part 63 includes a first lead screw 631 and a lifting motor 632.

The lifting motor 632 is fixed to a baffle 612, and the rotating shaft of the lifting motor 632 is connected to the first lead screw 631.

[0036] The lifting motor 632 can drive the first lead screw 631 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 613 screwed thereto to slide on the first slide rod 611, thereby driving the tool assembly 62 on the slider 613 to slide up and down on the slide rail assembly 61.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the slide portion 7 includes an inner gear ring 71 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper retaining ring 42 and the lower surface of the lower retaining ring 43, and two baffles 612 are respectively rotatably connected to gears 72 that mesh with the corresponding inner gear ring 71. The surround motor 8 is fixed to the outside of a baffle 612, and the output shaft of the surround motor 8 is connected to the rotating shaft of the corresponding gear 72. The lower surface of the upper baffle 612 and the upper surface of the lower baffle 612 are respectively provided with limit blocks 73 that abut against the outer edge of the corresponding inner gear ring 71.

[0038] When the motor 8 is working, it can drive the gear 72 connected to it to rotate. Since the gear 72 is engaged with the corresponding inner gear ring 71, the entire slide rail assembly 61 is driven to rotate along the inner gear ring 71, so that the tool assembly 62 can rotate around the rubber tree to tap the rubber.

[0039] The orbiting motor 8 drives the tool assembly 62 on the slide rail assembly 61 to perform circular motion along the inner gear ring 71, and the lifting motor 632 drives the tool assembly 62 on the slider 613 to move up and down along the first slide rod 611, thereby ensuring that the tool assembly 62 can achieve curved cutting of the rubber tree wall during operation, that is, forming an oblique cutting groove, which is convenient for the diversion and collection of the rubber liquid.

[0040] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, the tool assembly 62 includes a base 621, a connecting plate 622, a tool holder 623, a cutter head 624 and a radial drive mechanism 625 for driving the tool holder 623 to move in the radial direction of the upper retaining ring 42. The connecting plate 622 is fixedly connected between the slider 613 and the base 621. In this embodiment, two parallel connecting plates 622 are provided. The cutter head 624 is fixedly connected to the front end of the tool holder 623. The radial drive mechanism 625 includes a second slide bar 6251, a second lead screw 6252 and a lead screw motor 6253. The base 621 is provided with a second slide bar 6251 and a second lead screw 6252 and a lead screw motor 6253. The sliding hole adapted for the lead screw 6252, this embodiment is provided with four mutually parallel second sliding rods 6251, the front end of the second sliding rod 6251 is fixedly connected to the tool holder 623, the other end of the second sliding rod 6251 is embedded in the sliding hole, the base 621 is provided with a through hole for the second lead screw 6252 to pass through, the end of the base 621 away from the tool holder 623 is fixedly connected to the lead screw motor 6253, one end of the second lead screw 6252 is rotatably connected to the tool holder 623, and the other end of the second lead screw 6252 passes through the through hole and is screwed to the lead screw motor 6253.

[0041] When the screw motor 6253 is working, it can drive the second screw 6252 screwed to it to move back and forth, thereby driving the second slide rod 6251 in and out of the slide hole, realizing the radial movement of the cutter head 624 in the upper retaining ring 42, that is, realizing the adjustment of the cutter head 624 deep into the rubber tree wall.

[0042] The radial drive mechanism 625 drives the cutter head 624 to move in the radial direction of the upper clamping ring 42, thereby adjusting the cutting depth of the cutter head 624 into the rubber tree wall, improving the tapping efficiency, and increasing the comprehensive output value of rubber.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of elastic extenders 9 are provided on the inner sides of the upper snap ring 42 and the lower snap ring 43 along the circumferential direction, and the plurality of elastic extenders 9 are distributed in an array along the center of the upper snap ring 42 and the lower snap ring 43 .

[0044] Specifically, the elastic extender 9 includes a mounting box 91, a spring is provided in the mounting box 91, an axial hole is provided on the mounting box 91, a push rod 92 is provided in the axial hole, the push rod 92 extends along the radial direction of the upper retaining ring 42, and the inner side of the push rod 92 is fixedly connected to a baffle that abuts against the spring.

[0045] When the pair of upper snap rings 42 and the pair of lower snap rings 43 are embracing the rubber tree, the push rod 92 can abut against the wall of the rubber tree to support and position the pair of upper snap rings 42 and the pair of lower snap rings 43.

[0046] In one embodiment, a blower 132 is provided on one side of the robotic arm 13 close to the bracket 3 . The blower 132 is connected to a pipeline, and an air outlet of the pipeline is close to the rubber tapping device 2 .

[0047] During the rubber tapping operation, the blower 132 is started, and the wind blown out through the pipe connected to the blower 132 can blow away the rubber bark cut by the cutter head 624, thereby improving the quality of the rubber.
