Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a robot neck joint structure. Background Art

[0002] The robot's neck joint structure consists of a base and a top seat. The base is used to connect to the robot's body and is the basic support part of the neck structure. It plays the role of fixing and stabilizing the neck. It is usually connected to the robot's torso through bolts, welding or other fastening methods. The top seat is located at the top of the neck structure and is used to connect to the robot's head. It provides an installation and support point for the head, allowing the head to be stably installed above the neck and move in coordination with the neck to realize various head movements.

[0003] In the existing technology, the structure is relatively complex and requires more joints and drive devices, resulting in high cost and greater control difficulty. At the same time, due to the large number of joints, the cumulative error during movement is large, affecting the movement accuracy. For this reason, the present invention provides a robot neck joint structure. Summary of the Invention

The output end of the stepping motor is fixedly connected to the output gear, and the top of the rotating chassis is fixedly connected to the fixed gear, and the fixed gear is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating inner shaft, and the fixed gear and the output gear are meshed with each other; when in use: the stepping motor is started, the output gear is driven to rotate, the fixed gear is driven to rotate, and the rotating chassis is driven to rotate, and the fixed chassis is stationary, so that the annular groove pushes the adjusting column to move, and the fixed bottom block is limited by the vertical groove to make the adjusting column vertical. When the adjusting column moves along the inside of the annular groove, the fixed bottom block moves along the vertical groove, so that the vertical plate moves away from or close to the center of the circle. When the vertical plate moves away from the center of the circle, the height of the vertical plate is fixed, and the adjusting slide post at the top of the vertical plate moves along the inclined groove, and the adjusting slide post pulls the conical ring to tilt the conical ring, so that the mounting top seat tilts, and the up and down inclination angles can be adjusted. When the adjusting slide post is close to the center of the circle, the height of the inclined groove side is raised, and when the adjusting slide post is away from the center of the circle, the conical ring is pulled to pull the height of the inclined groove side.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the rotating inner shaft is fixedly connected with a fixed ball, the bottom of the mounting top seat is fixedly connected with a supporting inner cone, the fixed ball is rotatably connected to the inside of the supporting inner cone, the supporting inner cone is rotatably connected to the inside of the conical ring, the outer side of the rotating inner shaft is fixedly connected with a fixed clamping groove, the inside of the fixed clamping groove is slidably clamped with a fixed sliding shaft, the bottom of the supporting inner cone is fixedly connected with a fixed clamping block, the inside of the fixed clamping block is rotatably connected to a fixed rotating shaft, a fixed pull plate is fixedly connected between the fixed sliding shaft and the fixed rotating shaft, the top of the fixed chassis is fixedly connected with a fixed inclined plate, the inside of the fixed inclined plate is fixedly connected to a fixed outer ring, the top of the fixed chassis is fixedly connected with a protective outer ring, the protective outer ring It is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating chassis, and the top of the protective outer ring is fixedly connected to the fixed inner ring, and the fixed inner ring is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed outer ring; when in use: by rotating the inner shaft, the fixed clamping groove is driven to rotate, the fixed pull plate and the fixed clamping block are driven to rotate, and the supporting inner cone is driven to rotate, so that the mounting top seat is rotated and the direction of the mounting top seat is adjusted. When the mounting top seat is tilted up and down, the fixed ball fixes the center position of the supporting inner cone, so that the supporting inner cone is adjusted around the fixed ball. When one side is tilted, the fixed sliding shaft moves and adjusts to adapt inside the fixed clamping groove. By setting a fixed outer ring and a fixed inner ring, the internal structure is protected, so that a rubber protective cortex can be set between the top of the fixed outer ring and the mounting top seat for further protection.

[0007] The present invention provides a robot neck joint structure through improvement, which has the following improvements and advantages compared with the prior art:

[0008] First: A robot neck joint structure described in the present invention is started by a stepper motor, which drives the output gear to rotate, drives the fixed gear to rotate, drives the rotating chassis to rotate, and the fixed chassis is stationary, so that the annular groove pushes the adjustment column to move, and the fixed bottom block limits the adjustment column vertically through the vertical groove. When the adjustment column moves along the inside of the annular groove, the fixed bottom block moves along the vertical groove, so that the vertical plate moves away from or close to the center of the circle. When the vertical plate moves away from the center of the circle, the height of the vertical plate is fixed, and the adjustment slide at the top of the vertical plate moves along the inclined groove.

When the mounting top seat is tilted up and down, the fixed ball fixes the center position of the supporting inner cone, so that the supporting inner cone is adjusted around the fixed ball. When one side is tilted, the fixed sliding shaft moves and adjusts to the inside of the fixed clamping groove. By setting a fixed outer ring and a fixed inner ring, the internal structure is protected, so that a rubber protective cortex can be set between the top of the fixed outer ring and the mounting top seat for further protection.

[0010] Summary: The robot neck joint structure described in the present invention is intended to solve the problems of complex robot neck joint structure, high cost, difficult control and limited motion accuracy in the existing technology. By adopting a specific structural design and component configuration, the robot neck joint is simplified, efficient and precisely controlled.
