Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present application, but do not limit the present application in any form. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of changes and improvements can be made. These all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] A spacecraft multi-scene precision assembly mechanical arm gripper device, as shown in Figures 1-3 The device includes a gripper main assembly and a clamping arm assembly. The gripper main assembly includes a gripper main component 1 and a linear motion mechanism, and the gripper main component 1 is symmetrically connected with the clamping arm assembly on both sides through the linear motion mechanism. As shown in Figure 4 The linear motion mechanism is used to realize the synchronous linear opening and closing motion of the clamping arm assembly, thereby realizing the clamping action of the gripper device. The linear motion mechanism is composed of a linear guide rail 5 assembly and a linear motor assembly. The linear motor assembly includes a motor and a screw rod 8, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected with the screw rod 8. The screw rod 8 is driven to rotate by the motor to realize the axial movement of the screw nut along the screw rod 8. The screw nut is fixedly connected with the connecting block 7 through a fastener. When the screw nut moves linearly, it drives the connecting block 7 to slide linearly along the guide rail 5, thereby realizing the symmetrical opening and closing of the clamping arm assembly. The linear guide rail 5 assembly includes a guide rail 5, a sliding block 6 and a connecting block 7. The guide rail 5 is arranged along the length direction of the gripper main component 1. The sliding block 6 is in precise sliding fit with the guide rail 5. The connecting block 7 is fixedly connected with the sliding block 6 through a screw, thereby ensuring the straightness and repeatability of the motion.

[0025] As shown in Figure 5 The clamping arm assembly is mounted on the connecting block 7 for opposite clamping of the spacecraft product. The clamping arm assembly includes a rotating mechanism 2, a mounting arm 3, a clamping head 4, and a buffer and adjusting mechanism. The rotating mechanism 2 is arranged between the connecting block 7 and the mounting arm 3 for synchronous rotation of the mounting arm 3. The mechanism is composed of a driving gear 9 and two driven gears 10. The driving gear 9 is directly driven to rotate by a driving motor. The driving gear 9 is meshed with one driven gear 10 on each side. One of the driven gears 10 is fixedly connected with the connecting block 7, and the other driven gear 10 is fixedly connected with the mounting arm 3. Through the meshing transmission of the driving gear 9 and the two driven gears 10, the synchronous rotation of the two mounting arms 3 can be realized, so that the two mounting arms 3 always maintain the opposite clamping state at different rotation angles, thereby maintaining the stable clamping posture during the opening and closing of the clamping jaw body. The gear transmission mechanism adopts a standard modulus involute gear structure to ensure transmission accuracy and carrying capacity.

[0026] The mounting arm 3 includes a rotating rod 12, a movable arm 13, and a buffer mechanism. One end of the rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected with the driven gear 10 and is stably rotated through bearing support. The outer side of the middle section of the rotating rod 12 is provided with a pressing block 14. The pressing block 14 is provided with a compression spring 15 above and below. The two ends of the compression spring 15 are respectively in abutment with the pressing block 14 and the movable arm 13, forming a buffer mechanism. This structure can absorb the assembly impact force during clamping, realize soft clamping, and prevent damage to the spacecraft product caused by excessive clamping force. As shown in Figure 6 The outer side of the pressing block 14 is provided with a limiting column 16, and the side wall of the movable arm 13 is provided with a straight waist hole 11 arranged in the height direction. The limiting column 16 is movably arranged in the waist hole to limit the movement range of the pressing block 14, ensure the working stroke of the compression spring 15, and prevent structure damage caused by overstroke movement. The rotating rod 12 is slidably arranged in the inside of the movable arm 13 through a linear bearing. The linear bearing and the rotating rod 12 form a sliding fit, so that the movable arm 13 can realize a slight floating displacement in the direction of the rotating rod 12, to further improve the softness and adaptability of clamping.

[0027] The clamping head 4 is mounted on the inside of the movable arm 13 and is connected with the movable arm 13 through an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism includes two sets of swing blocks 19. One end of the upper swing block 19 is connected with the upper end of the clamping head 4, and the other end is connected with the movable arm 13. One end of the lower swing block 19 is connected with the lower end of the clamping head 4, and the other end is connected with the movable arm 13. The two sets of swing blocks 19, the clamping head 4, and the movable arm 13 form a parallel four-bar linkage structure. This structure enables the clamping head 4 to have a small range of floating ability in the clamping direction, automatically compensates for the clamping position error, and improves the fit and stability of clamping.

[0028] An adjusting bolt 18 is provided below the swing block 19 located at the lower end of the chuck 4. The adjusting bolt 18 is detachably connected to the movable arm 13. By rotating the adjusting bolt 18, the distance between the two chucks 4 can be finely adjusted to adapt to spacecraft products of different sizes and achieve precise setting of the clamping gap.

[0029] An anti-slip pad 20 is provided on the chuck 4. The anti-slip pad 20 is made of a high coefficient of friction material and is fixed to the surface of the chuck 4 by adhesive bonding. It is used to increase the clamping friction and prevent the spacecraft product from slipping during the clamping process.

[0030] like Figure 7 As shown, the chuck 4 has a blind hole 21 in the middle section. A top head 17 and a compression spring 15 are installed in the blind hole 21. The two ends of the compression spring 15 abut against the bottom of the blind hole 21 and one end face of the top head 17, respectively. The top head 17 is movably connected in the blind hole 21, and the other bottom surface of the top head 17 is connected to the movable arm 13. Through the cooperation of the top head 17 and the compression spring 15, under the action of the preload force and the reaction force generated by the rebound of the compression spring 15, a continuous support and clamping positioning force is applied to the middle section of the chuck 4, so that the chuck 4 maintains a stable posture during the clamping process, thereby improving the anti-sway and anti-vibration ability of the chuck 4, suppressing the swaying of the parallel four-bar structure during movement, and achieving automatic reset when the chuck 4 is released.

The screw 8 nuts are installed and fixed to the clamping arm assembly connecting block 7. The opening and closing operation of the clamping arm assembly connecting block 7 is realized by the rotation of the linear motor, thereby driving the clamping arm assembly to move synchronously.

[0036] The main component 1 of the gripper is made of aluminum alloy plates to reduce processing and manufacturing costs. This component is the main load-bearing component of the entire gripper device and is connected to the linear guide rail 5 assembly, industrial camera bracket, robotic arm quick-change connector and linear motor mounting bracket by screw fasteners.

[0038] The linear motor mounting bracket is made of aluminum alloy sheet by bending to reduce processing and manufacturing costs. This component is connected to the linear motor assembly and the gripper main body component 1, respectively, and plays the role of installing and fixing the motor in the linear motor assembly.

[0044] The clamping arm rotating rod 12 is made of high-strength bearing steel.

The clamping arm slider 6 and its auxiliary mounting parts are mounted by constraining the upper and lower installed stable reset springs.

[0045] The stabilizing return spring adopts a standard industrial compression spring 15, which is installed and fixed inside the clamping arm slider 6 through the return spring cover plate, the return spring pressure block 14, and the linear bearing of the rotary rod 12. The stabilizing return spring avoids the impact of spacecraft products during clamping and docking, achieving compliant clamping and docking assembly. The return spring pressure block 14 is installed inside the clamping arm slider 6 and is connected and fixed to the clamping arm rotary rod 12 by a pin, which plays a role in bidirectional clamping of the stabilizing return spring.

[0046] The swing block 19 of the chuck 4 is made of brass and is connected to the slider 6 of the clamping arm and the chuck 4 by pins and screws to form a parallel four-bar linkage mechanism.
