[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the quick-change wrist 100 for a dexterous hand according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first adapter 1 and a second adapter 2. The first adapter 1 is provided with a first sleeve 3, and the second adapter 2 is provided with a second sleeve 4. One of the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 is provided with a male head 5, and the other of the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 is provided with a female head 6. The first sleeve 3 is sleeved on the second sleeve 4, and the male head 5 is connected to the female head 6 by plugging.

[0025] When the quick-change wrist 100 for a dexterous hand according to an embodiment of the present invention is in use, for example, the first adapter 1 is used to securely connect to a humanoid robot or industrial robot, while the second adapter 2 is used to connect to the dexterous hand. When the dexterous hand needs to be replaced, the first sleeve 3 is inserted into the second sleeve 4, allowing the male connector 5 to plug into the female connector 6, thereby achieving quick docking.

[0026] Due to the high alignment accuracy between the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4, the alignment difficulty and the need for manual intervention are reduced. The plugging of the male head 5 and the female head 6 makes the connection more firm and reliable. When the male head 5 and the female head 6 are plugged in, the interfaces automatically dock to ensure stable signal transmission and energy supply.

[0027] Compared with traditional threaded connections, screw fixations and other methods, the quick-change wrist 100 for the dexterous hand of the embodiment of the present invention can achieve rapid disassembly and assembly, greatly improving the replacement efficiency of the dexterous hand and adapting to the scenario requirements of rapid switching of multiple tasks. Due to the optimization of the structural design, the alignment process is simpler, reducing manual dependence, and improving the convenience and accuracy of operation. The plug-in connection method of the male head 5 and the female head 6 provides a more stable connection, reducing failures and accidents caused by unstable connection. The present invention allows the robot system to be more flexibly deployed in different scenarios to adapt to various operational requirements. Through fast and reliable connection, the operating efficiency and performance of the entire robot system are improved, and maintenance costs are reduced.

[0028] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the first sleeve 3 is provided with a mounting hole 301, within which is located a stopper 7 whose radial position along the first sleeve 3 is adjustable. The outer wall of the second sleeve 4 is provided with a stopper groove 401. The stopper 7 is configured to engage with the stopper groove 401 when the male connector 5 is plugged into the female connector 6, thereby limiting the axial movement of the second sleeve 4 relative to the first sleeve 3.

[0029] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, when the second sleeve 4 is inserted into the first sleeve 3 or pulled out from the first sleeve 3, the limiting member 7 is moved in the radial direction of the first sleeve 3 in a direction away from the second sleeve 4, so that the second sleeve 4 is inserted into the first sleeve 3 or pulled out from the first sleeve 3, avoiding interference between the limiting member 7 and the second sleeve 7. After the second sleeve 4 is inserted into the first sleeve 3 and the male head 5 and the female head 6 are plugged into each other, the limiting member 7 is moved in the radial direction of the first sleeve 3 in a direction close to the second sleeve 4, so that part of the limiting member 7 is placed in the limiting groove 401, limiting the movement of the second sleeve 4 in the axial direction of the first sleeve 3, ensuring the connection reliability between the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4, preventing the relative displacement of the dexterous hand due to vibration and other reasons during operation, and the risk of falling off, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0030] Furthermore, because the position of the stopper 7 can be adjusted, the quick-change wrist can adapt to interfaces of varying specifications and sizes, increasing the system's compatibility and flexibility. When the dexterous hand needs to be replaced, installation can be completed quickly, ensuring stability and safety. This more stable and precise connection reduces failures caused by connection problems, thereby reducing system maintenance costs and downtime.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the quick-change wrist 100 for a dexterous hand according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an adjustment sleeve 8, which is mounted on the first sleeve 3 and is adjustable along the axial direction of the first sleeve 3 between a first position and a second position. The stopper 7 is a stopper ball, and the inner wall of the adjustment sleeve 8 is provided with a receiving groove 801 for accommodating the stopper ball. The mounting through hole 301 is a tapered hole with a cross-sectional area that gradually decreases from the outside to the inside. The diameter of the stopper ball is larger than the inner diameter of the small opening of the tapered hole and smaller than the inner diameter of the large opening of the tapered hole.

[0032] In the first position, the outer wall of the second sleeve 4 can push the limiting ball outward so that at least part of the limiting ball is located in the receiving groove 801. In the second position, the inner wall of the adjusting sleeve 8 pushes the limiting ball inward so that part of the limiting ball is located in the limiting groove 401.

[0033] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment sleeve 8 is in the first position, and the receiving groove 801 corresponds to the mounting through hole 301. At this time, the second sleeve 4 can be inserted into the first sleeve 3. When the operator inserts the second sleeve 4 into the first sleeve 3, the outer wall of the second sleeve 4 can push the limiting ball outward, so that at least a portion of the limiting ball is located in the receiving groove 801, avoiding interference between the limiting ball and the second sleeve 4.

[0034] After the second sleeve 4 is connected to the first sleeve 3, the adjusting sleeve 8 is moved to the second position. Figure 1As shown in Figure 4, when the adjusting sleeve 8 is adjusted from the first position to the second position, the limiting ball slides out of the accommodating groove 801 and is partially placed in the limiting groove 401 under the action of the inner wall of the adjusting sleeve 8, limiting the second sleeve 4, thereby completing the final locking and fixation.

[0035] Because the mounting through-hole 301 is a tapered hole with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area from the outside to the inside, the diameter of the retaining ball is larger than the inner diameter of the small opening of the tapered hole and smaller than the inner diameter of the large opening of the tapered hole. When the retaining ball moves within the mounting through-hole 301, it is prevented from rolling through the small opening of the tapered hole into the second sleeve 4 and falling out. At the same time, the retaining ball is allowed to roll through the large opening of the mounting through-hole 301 into the receiving groove 801 of the adjustment sleeve 8.

[0036] Therefore, the present invention adjusts the position of the limiting ball by adjusting the position of the adjusting sleeve 8, and controls the fixation between the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 by the movement of the limiting ball, thereby simplifying the operation process of the quick-change wrist. The user can quickly switch between the two positions to achieve rapid disassembly and replacement, making the process of replacing the dexterous hand more convenient and quick, improving the replacement efficiency, and reducing the time and cost required for maintenance.

[0037] In some embodiments, the quick-change wrist 100 for the dexterous hand of the embodiment of the present invention includes a return spring 9 , which is sleeved on the first sleeve 3 and has two ends connected to the first sleeve 3 and the adjustment sleeve 8 respectively.

[0038] For example, Figure 4 As shown, return spring 9 is in a compressed state. During assembly and disassembly of the quick-change wrist, return spring 9 provides an automatic return force. When adjustment sleeve 8 moves from the second position to the first position, return spring 9 pushes adjustment sleeve 8 back to its initial position, ready for the next docking operation. In the first position, return spring 9 maintains a certain preload, helping to maintain the position of the stop ball within the stop groove 401, ensuring a stable and reliable connection.

[0039] The reset spring 9 eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the quick-change wrist to its initial state during assembly and disassembly, reducing the number of operating steps and improving operational convenience. The automatic reset function reduces the time required to replace the dexterous hand and improves operational efficiency, especially in application scenarios where frequent replacement of the end effector is required. The reset spring 9 ensures the consistency and accuracy of each docking operation, reducing docking failures or unstable connections due to improper human operation. Because the reset spring 9 can automatically maintain the connection state, maintenance and replacement costs caused by connection problems are reduced. The automatic reset function provides a smoother and more intuitive user experience, reduces the user's operating difficulty, and improves user satisfaction.

[0040] In some embodiments, a flange 302 is provided on the outer wall surface of the first sleeve 3, and an annular mounting groove 802 is provided on the inner wall surface of the adjusting sleeve 8. At least a portion of the flange 302 is provided in the annular mounting groove 802. One end of the return spring 9 stops at the flange 302, and the other end of the return spring 9 stops at the side wall of the annular mounting groove 802.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the return spring 9 abuts against the flange 302, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the annular mounting groove 802. When the adjusting sleeve 8 moves, the return spring 9 will compress or stretch according to the position of the adjusting sleeve 8, thereby providing a corresponding return force. The cooperation between the flange 302 and the return spring 9 ensures that when switching between the first position and the second position, the return spring 9 can provide sufficient holding force to maintain the position of the adjusting sleeve 8, and can also be quickly reset when needed. By providing a flange 302 on the outer wall surface of the first sleeve 3 and an annular mounting groove 802 on the inner wall surface of the adjusting sleeve 8, the installation of the return spring 9 is simple and convenient, and the user can quickly disassemble and replace without complicated adjustments, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the quick-change wrist 100 for a dexterous hand according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a retaining ring 10. The retaining ring 10 is sleeved on the first sleeve 3 and is located on the side of the flange 302 facing away from the return spring 9. The retaining ring 10 abuts against the flange 302 along the axial direction of the first sleeve 3. The retaining ring 10 has a connection hole for a fastener 11 to pass through. The retaining ring 10 is connected to the retaining sleeve via the fastener 11.

[0043] The retaining ring 10 is mounted on the first sleeve 3, on the side of the flange 302 facing away from the return spring 9. The retaining ring 10 abuts against the flange 302 along the axial direction of the first sleeve 3, providing an additional support point for the flange 302. The retaining ring 10 is provided with a connection hole for a fastener 11 to pass through. The connection hole allows the retaining ring 10 to be connected to the adjustment sleeve 8 via the fastener 11. The retaining ring 10 and the return spring 9 limit the adjustment sleeve 8 in the circumferential direction of the first sleeve 3, allowing the adjustment sleeve 8 to move stably along the axial direction of the first sleeve 3 and adjust its position.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the male connector 5 includes a male connector base 501 and a pin 502. The male connector base 501 is connected to the second sleeve 4. The pin 502 is provided on the male connector base 501 and extends along the axial direction of the second sleeve 4. The female connector 6 includes a female connector base 601, which is connected to the first sleeve 3. The female connector base 601 is provided with a socket 6011, and the pin 502 is plugged into the socket 6011.

[0045] When the male connector 5 is docked with the female connector 6, the pin 502 is inserted into the socket 6011, thereby realizing rapid transmission of signals and energy, and ensuring continuity of signals and energy while rapidly replacing the end effector.

[0046] The combination of pin 502 and socket 6011 enables rapid signal and energy transmission without requiring additional connection steps, improving operational efficiency. Pin 502 and socket 6011 provide a reliable connection point, reducing signal interruption or energy loss due to connection issues. The combination of pin 502 and socket 6011 simplifies the operation of the quick-change wrist, allowing users to quickly dock and disassemble, reducing operation time. The reliability and stability of the connection reduces maintenance and replacement costs caused by connection issues. By rapidly transmitting signals and energy, the performance and responsiveness of the entire robotic system are improved.

[0047] In some embodiments, the number of the pins 502 and the number of the sockets 6011 are both multiple and in one-to-one correspondence.

[0048] Due to the presence of multiple pins 502 and sockets 6011, the quick-change wrist can simultaneously transmit multiple signal or energy channels, making it suitable for applications requiring multi-channel data transmission and power supply. The one-to-one correspondence between the multiple pins 502 and sockets 6011 provides more connection points, enhancing connection stability and reducing system failures caused by failure of a single connection point. The multi-channel configuration improves the reliability of signal and energy transmission. Even if some channels fail, other channels can still function normally, ensuring system continuity and stability. The multi-channel configuration enables the quick-change wrist to adapt to more complex application requirements, such as multi-sensor data transmission and multi-axis control signal transmission. By using a multi-channel quick-change wrist, the overall system setup can be simplified, the number of external connection cables can be reduced, and the system can be more neat and easy to maintain. The multi-channel configuration improves system performance, enabling the robot system to respond to external commands more quickly and improving operational efficiency. The multi-channel configuration increases the versatility and adaptability of the quick-change wrist, allowing it to accommodate signal and energy interfaces of different specifications and types.

[0049] In some embodiments, a positioning protrusion 5011 is provided on the male seat 501 , and a positioning groove 6012 is provided on the female seat 601 . The positioning protrusion 5011 and the positioning groove 6012 are positioned and matched in the axial direction of the first sleeve 3 .

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when the male connector 5 and the female connector 6 are docked, the positioning protrusion 5011 and the positioning groove 6012 cooperate axially with each other in the first sleeve 3, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the docking, reducing operation time, and improving work efficiency. The provision of the positioning protrusion 5011 and the positioning groove 6012 enhances the stability of the connection and reduces connection failures caused by inaccurate alignment. The provision of the positioning protrusion 5011 and the positioning groove 6012 also simplifies the docking process, reduces operational difficulty, and makes the quick-change wrist easier to use. By ensuring precise alignment between the male connector 5 and the female connector 6, the reliability of the entire system is improved, and system failures caused by connection problems are reduced.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a wire hole 402 is provided on the side wall of the second sleeve 4 .

[0052] The provision of wire holes 402 allows for flexible placement of wires and cables during connection, adapting to varying connection requirements and environments. Through wire holes 402, wires and cables can be routed internally, reducing the number of external connections and making the entire system neater and easier to maintain. Internally routing wires and cables reduces the risk of external connections being exposed, improving system safety.
