Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of embodied intelligent robots, in particular to a high-speed force control gripper. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of robot technology, the progress of artificial intelligence technology and the actual application requirements of industrial production, force control grippers in the field of embodied intelligent robots aim to make robots have more human-like operation capabilities to adapt to complex and variable task scenarios, such as precise assembly in industrial production, assisting in completing daily affairs at home, etc.

[0003] The internal transmission structure of the traditional gripper has the form of a screw nut, a worm gear, or a gear and rack, which is described as follows: The screw nut and connecting rod structure: the transmission efficiency is low, there is sliding friction between the screw thread contact surface of the screw and the nut, the friction coefficient is large, and the transmission efficiency is usually only 30%-50%; the response speed is slow, limited by the inertia of the mechanical structure and the thread transmission characteristics, the acceleration of the gripper opening and closing is difficult to improve. In the scene that requires high-frequency and fast grabbing (such as electronic component sorting), motion lag is easy to occur, which reduces the production rhythm; the precision retention is poor, after long-term use, the thread pair will generate a gap due to wear, which will cause an idle travel error when reverse transmission, directly affecting the clamping and positioning accuracy.

[0004] The worm gear structure: the transmission efficiency is extremely low, the tooth surface contact between the worm and the worm gear is sliding friction, which causes the transmission efficiency to be usually only 40%-60% (even less than 30% at low speed); the sliding friction between the tooth surfaces will aggravate the wear, especially when the opening and closing is high frequency or bears a large load, the worm tooth surface is easy to appear pitting, gluing and other failure phenomena. After long-term use, the tooth side gap gradually increases, which causes the positioning accuracy of the gripper to decrease sharply, and the service life is usually only 1 / 3-1 / 2 of that of the screw nut structure; the worm diameter is usually large, and the worm needs to be arranged spatially staggered with the worm shaft, which causes the structure of the driving part of the gripper to be bulky, and it is difficult to realize miniaturization design. In a small space, its installation and movement range will be severely limited.

[0005] The gear and rack structure: there is an inevitable tooth side gap between the gear and the rack, which is easy to cause reverse motion idle travel error. In the precise grabbing scene (such as semiconductor chip handling), this gap will cause the positioning accuracy of the gripper to decrease, and even the workpiece clamping to shift; the tooth surface contact is a composite form of rolling friction and sliding friction, when the gripper bears a large clamping force, the contact stress of the dedendum and the tooth top increases sharply, which is easy to cause plastic deformation of the tooth surface or breakage of the dedendum.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the related technology has not yet proposed an effective technical solution, which has not met people's requirements and needs to be improved. SUMMARY

Optionally, the length ratio of the connecting rod to the crank is 2.5-4 times, the included angle between the connecting rod and the crank is 50-120 degrees, and the transmission efficiency and response speed of the motor are improved.

[0032] The transition mechanism is arranged in the shell 1 and includes a slider 17, the first port of the slider 17 is in contact with the driving mechanism when the slider moves to the lower limit position, and the slider is in contact with the shell 1 when the slider moves to the upper limit position. In some optional embodiments of the present application, the linear bearing 23 arranged in the inner hole of the slider 17 is provided with a T-shaped shaft light axis 24 in the middle, the lower end of the T-shaped shaft light axis 24 is a limit for the downward movement of the slider 17; the end of the T-shaped shaft light axis 24 is provided with a threaded hole, the middle of the light axis mounting plate 16 is provided with a screw through hole, the end of the T-shaped shaft light axis 24 is connected with the light axis mounting plate 16 through the threaded hole; the two ends of the light axis mounting plate 16 are provided with threaded holes and fixedly connected with the shell 1 through the threaded holes, and the light axis mounting plate 16 is a limit for the upward movement of the slider 17.

[0033] The slider 17 has an A-shaped structure. The bottom of the two feet of the slider 17 is provided with a U-shaped through groove. A slotted pin 15 is provided in the U-shaped through groove. The slotted pin 15 is connected to the first end of the first gripper connecting rod 21. The slider restricts the slotted pin 15 to move left and right on the slider through the U-shaped through groove, so as to drive the first gripper connecting rod 21 to move.

[0034] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the transition mechanism provided in this embodiment. The slider 17 is designed as an A-type. When the slider 17 descends to its lower limit, the A-shaped opening is tangent to the cylindrical surface of the motor 3. Conversely, when it ascends to its upper limit, the pointed opening is tangent to the circular surface of the housing 1. This improves space utilization and reduces the linear travel of the slider 17. The A-type slider 17 has a wide head and narrow bottoms at both feet, allowing connection to the first gripper linkage. The bottoms of the two feet of the A-type slider 17 are designed with U-shaped through grooves 15a. A slotted pin 15 is installed within the through groove 15a. The clearance fit between the through groove 15a and the slotted pin 15 ensures the accuracy and smoothness of the pin's movement within the U-shaped groove 15a. The U-shaped through groove restricts the pin 15 to a certain travel space relative to the slider 17 in a left-right linear motion direction. The slider 17 moves linearly upwards and downwards relative to the optical axis 24, thus allowing the slotted pin 15 to move in a curved path within the xz plane.

[0035] In an optional embodiment of this application, the slider is designed in an "A" shape. The A-shape corresponds to the layout of the two sides of the cylindrical surface of the transverse motor, which can improve space utilization and reduce the linear motion stroke of the slider. Optionally, a 0-3mm "U" shaped through groove is designed at both ends of the bottom of the A-shape, and a slotted pin is set in the through groove. The through groove and the slotted pin are fitted with a clearance of 0.005-0.01mm, which can ensure the accuracy and smoothness of the slotted pin's movement in the "U" shaped groove. The "U" shaped through groove restricts the movement of the slotted pin within a stroke space of 0-3mm. The slider moves linearly up and down relative to the optical axis guide rod, and the slotted pin moves linearly left and right relative to the slider. Therefore, the slotted pin can move in a curved motion in the xz plane. Compared with the traditional gripper design with a connecting rod structure, which results in a larger overall space, the transition mechanism in this application reduces the overall structural size and makes the internal transmission structure more compact.

[0036] The linkage mechanism includes a first gripper link 21, a second gripper link 11 and a third gripper link 19.
