[0032] Reference below Figures 1-8 A robotic arm 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0033] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the robotic arm 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a first arm 11, a second arm 12, a first arm driving member 111 and a connecting rod assembly 40.

[0034] That is, the connecting rod assembly 40 can be arranged at the connection between the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 (such as the elbow joint), and the first arm driving component 111 can be installed on the first arm 11 and drive the second arm 12 to rotate relative to the first arm 11 through the connecting rod assembly 40, which can reduce the space occupied by the first arm driving component 111 at the connection between the first arm 11 and the second arm 12, so that the space at the connection between the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 can be more compact, and the overall robotic arm 100 can be more compact, and the first arm driving component 111 can be prevented from protruding from the human body envelope, thereby improving the aesthetics of the robotic arm 100 and improving the anthropomorphic effect of the robotic arm 100.

[0035] According to the robotic arm 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, a first arm driving component 111 is provided on the first arm 11, and a connecting rod assembly 40 is provided to be connected to the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 respectively, so that the first arm driving component 111 can drive the second arm 12 to rotate relative to the first arm 11 through the connecting rod assembly 40, which can reduce the space occupied by the first arm driving component 111 at the connection between the first arm 11 and the second arm 12, make the robotic arm 100 more compact as a whole, and prevent the first arm driving component 111 from protruding from the human body envelope, thereby improving the anthropomorphic effect of the robotic arm 100.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in the present application, the robot may include two robotic arms 100, which are movably arranged on opposite sides of the robot body, that is, the two robotic arms 100 may be the left arm and the right arm of the robot, and the robotic arm 100 described below may be the right arm of the robot.

[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting rod assembly 40 can be hinged to the lower part of the first arm 11, the connecting rod assembly 40 can be hinged to the upper part of the second arm 12, the connecting rod assembly 40 can be hinged to the driving end of the first arm driving member 111, and the first arm 11 can be hinged to the second arm 12, and the above-mentioned four hinge points can form a polygon, which can be a quadrilateral.

[0038] That is, the first arm 11, the second arm 12 and the connecting rod assembly 40 can cooperate with each other to form a four-bar linkage between the first arm 11 and the second arm 12, which is beneficial to increase the rotation angle range of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11 (such as the maximum rotation angle can reach 145°), and is beneficial to improve the relative rotation efficiency of the second arm 12 and the first arm 11, thereby increasing the range of movement of the second arm 12, and improving the flexibility of the second arm 12, and improving the anthropomorphic effect of the robotic arm 100.

[0039] It can be understood that the first arm driving member 111 can be rotatably connected to the first arm 11, the first arm driving member 111 can be connected to the second arm 12 through the connecting rod assembly 40, the first arm driving member 111 can be a linear push rod motor, and the driving end of the telescopic rod 1112 of the linear push rod motor can be rotatably connected to the connecting rod of the connecting rod assembly 40, so that the first arm driving member 111 can drive the second arm 12 to rotate relative to the first arm 11, which can increase the range of motion of the second arm 12 and improve the flexibility of the movement of the second arm 12.

[0040] Of course, the driving end of the telescopic rod 1112 and the connecting rod assembly 40 can be connected by a ball joint, which can increase the degree of freedom of the connection between the first arm driving component 111 and the connecting rod assembly 40, and the first arm driving component 111 and the first arm 11 can be connected by a ball joint, which can increase the degree of freedom of the connection between the first arm driving component 111 and the first arm 11, so that the first arm driving component 111 can fine-tune its own position when the second arm 12 moves, which can increase the range of movement of the second arm 12 and improve the flexibility of the movement of the second arm 12.

[0041] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting rod assembly 40 may include a first connecting rod 41 and a second connecting rod 42, and the two ends of the first connecting rod 41 can be rotatably connected to the driving end of the first arm 11 and the first arm driving member 111, respectively, so that the hinge point located at the driving end of the first arm driving member 111 can rotate around the hinge point located between the first connecting rod 41 and the first arm 11, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 42 can be rotatably connected to the driving end of the first arm driving member 111 and the second arm 12, respectively, so that the first arm driving member 111 can drive the second connecting rod 42 to move, thereby driving the second arm 12 to rotate relative to the first arm 11.

[0042] Among them, the angle between the first link 41 and the second link 42 can be less than 90°, which is conducive to the first arm driving component 111 driving the second arm 12 to rotate in the direction close to the first arm 11 (such as lifting the forearm) through the connecting rod assembly 40, which is conducive to optimizing the above-mentioned four-bar linkage, increasing the rotation angle range of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11, and improving the minimum equivalent torque of the second arm 12 when rotating relative to the first arm 11, and improving the relative rotation efficiency of the second arm 12 and the first arm 11, thereby increasing the range of movement of the second arm 12, and improving the flexibility of the second arm 12 movement, and improving the anthropomorphic effect of the robotic arm 100.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the second arm 12 is in the initial position, the internal angle of the above-mentioned polygon at the hinge point of the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 can be greater than 90°, and the internal angle of the above-mentioned polygon at the hinge point of the first arm 11 and the first connecting rod 41 can be less than 90°, which is conducive to the first arm driving member 111 driving the second arm 12 to rotate in the direction close to the first arm 11 through the connecting rod assembly 40 (such as lifting the forearm), which is conducive to optimizing the above-mentioned four-bar linkage, increasing the rotation angle range of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11, and improving the minimum equivalent torque of the second arm 12 when rotating relative to the first arm 11, and improving the relative rotation efficiency of the second arm 12 and the first arm 11, thereby increasing the range of movement of the second arm 12, and improving the flexibility of the second arm 12 movement, and improving the anthropomorphic effect of the robotic arm 100.

[0044] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first arm 11 may include a support frame 112, and one end of the support frame 112 close to the second arm 12 (such as Figure 7 The lower end shown in the figure may include two supporting legs 1121, and the second arm 12 may be rotatably connected to the two supporting legs 1121 respectively, so that the second arm 12 can rotate relative to the first arm 11, and the first connecting rod 41 may be rotatably connected to one supporting leg 1121, which can ensure that the first arm driving member 111 can normally drive the second arm 12 to rotate relative to the first arm 11 through the connecting rod assembly 40. Alternatively, the first connecting rod 41 can be rotatably connected to the two supporting legs 1121, which can improve the reliability and stability of the rotation of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11.

[0045] Among them, an avoidance space 1122 can be formed between the two legs 1121. When the second arm 12 is in the extreme position, part of the second arm 12 can be located in the avoidance space 1122, which can achieve avoidance of the second arm 12 and prevent the second arm 12 from interfering with the first arm 11 during the rotation process, thereby increasing the range of movement of the second arm 12, and improving the flexibility of the second arm 12, which can improve the anthropomorphic effect of the robotic arm 100.

[0046] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting rod 41 may include a first support rod 411 and two second support rods 412. The first support rod 411 and the two second support rods 412 may be connected to each other. The first support rod 411 may be connected to the driving end of the telescopic rod 1112 of the first arm driving member 111, that is, one end of the first support rod 411 may be hinged to the driving end of the telescopic rod 1112, and the two second support rods 412 may be located between the two support legs 1121, and the two second support rods 412 may be respectively connected to the two support legs 1121 one by one.

[0047] That is, one end of the two second support rods 412 can be connected to the other end of the first support rod 411 respectively, and the two second support rods 412 can be located on opposite sides of the first support rod 411 (such as Figure 3 The other ends of the two second support rods 412 can be hinged to the two support legs 1121 respectively, so that the first connecting rod 41 and the two support legs 1121 can be rotatably connected, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the rotation of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11.

[0048] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the two support legs 1121 can be connected by a fixed shaft 114, which can improve the structural strength of the support frame 112 at the support legs 1121, and the above-mentioned four hinge points can be surrounded by a polygon, and the polygon can be located on the radial outer periphery of the fixed shaft 114. On the one hand, the support legs 1121 can be evenly stressed when the second arm 12 rotates relative to the first arm 11, which can improve the service life of the support frame 112. On the other hand, it can prevent the above-mentioned four-bar linkage from interfering with the fixed shaft 114 when the second arm 12 rotates relative to the first arm 11, which can improve the reliability and stability of the rotation of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11.

[0049] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the support frame 112 may define a receiving cavity 1123, and the receiving cavity 1123 may have one side (such as Figure 8 The front side shown in FIG1 is open, and the first arm driving member 111 can be located on the open side of the support frame 112 (as shown in FIG1 ). Figure 8 The front side is shown in FIG, and when the first arm driving member 111 drives the second arm 12, a portion of the first arm driving member 111 can extend into the accommodating cavity 1123.

[0050] In this way, the first arm driving component 111 can be hidden, the aesthetics of the robot arm 100 can be improved, the first arm driving component 111 can be protected, the reliability of the rotation of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11 can be improved, and at the same time, the space occupied by the first arm driving component 111 at the connection between the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 can be reduced, so that the robot arm 100 as a whole can be more compact, the first arm driving component 111 can be prevented from protruding from the human body envelope, and the anthropomorphic effect of the robot arm 100 can be improved.

[0051] The first arm 11 may further include a support plate 113, an end of the support frame 112 away from the second arm 12 (such as Figure 7 The upper end shown in the figure can be connected to the support plate 113, and the first arm driving member 111 can be connected to the first arm 11 through a ball joint or a universal joint, which can increase the degree of freedom of the connection between the first arm driving member 111 and the first arm 11, so that the first arm driving member 111 can fine-tune its own position when the second arm 12 moves, thereby increasing the range of movement of the second arm 12 and improving the flexibility of the movement of the second arm 12.

[0052] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first arm driving member 111 may include a first arm motor 1111, a telescopic rod 1112 and a connecting shaft 1113. The first arm motor 1111 can drive the telescopic rod 1112 to extend or shorten. The axis of the connecting shaft 1113 can be perpendicular to the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod 1112, and the middle part of the connecting shaft 1113 can be rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 1112.

[0053] The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 can be connected to the two ends of the connecting shaft 1113 (such as Figure 7 The left and right ends (as shown) are rotatably connected, so that the telescopic rod 1112 of the first arm motor 1111 can be telescoped to drive the connecting rod assembly 40 to move and drive the second arm 12 to rotate relative to the first arm 11, thereby ensuring that the first arm driving member 111 can normally drive the second arm 12 to rotate relative to the first arm 11 through the connecting rod assembly 40, and can improve the reliability and stability of the rotation of the second arm 12 relative to the first arm 11.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the angle at which the second arm 12 rotates relative to the first arm 11 is the swing angle of the second arm 12. If the swing angle of the second arm 12 is too large, the anthropomorphism of the robotic arm 100 is affected. Therefore, the swing angle of the second arm 12 can be limited to a range of 0-145°, the range of motion of the second arm 12 can be increased, and the flexibility of the second arm 12 can be improved, thereby improving the anthropomorphic effect of the robotic arm 100. When the second arm 12 is in the initial position, the angle between the second arm 12 and the first arm 11 is the largest (the forearm hangs down naturally), and when the second arm 12 is in the extreme position, the angle between the second arm 12 and the first arm 11 is the smallest (the forearm is raised).

In the description of the present invention, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of these features.
