DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1-7 The utility model provides a technical solution: a flexible feeding robot arm, comprising a support frame 1; an adjustment structure is installed on the support frame 1, a mounting seat 2 is installed on the adjustment structure, a triangular plate 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the mounting seat 2, a driving structure is installed on the triangular plate 3, three extension rods 4 are installed on the driving structure, the three extension rods 4 are all installed with a telescopic structure, and the three extension rods 4 are installed with a grabbing structure;

[0028] The driving structure includes three servo motors 31, the output ends of the three servo motors 31 are connected to reducers 32, the three reducers 32 are fixedly mounted on the triangular plate 3, the output ends of the three reducers 32 are fixedly mounted with connecting plates 33, the three connecting plates 33 are rotatably mounted on the triangular plate 3, and the three connecting plates 33 are fixedly mounted with movable rods 34, and the three movable rods 34 are in contact with one side of the three extension rods 4;

[0029] The grabbing structure includes a plurality of carbon fiber rods 5, both ends of the carbon fiber rods 5 are movably sleeved with latches 51, one end of the two latches 51 are fixedly installed with U-shaped plates 52, and connecting shafts 53 are rotatably installed on the two U-shaped plates 52, one of the connecting shafts 53 is rotatably installed with a bearing seat 54, and the other connecting shaft 53 is rotatably installed on the extension rod 4, and a connecting seat 55 is fixedly installed on the bearing seat 54, and a hollow stepping motor 56 is connected to the connecting seat 55, and a hollow shaft 57 is provided on the hollow stepping motor 56. Turning on three servo motors 31 at the same time can drive the connecting seat 55 to move vertically, and the connecting shaft 53 will rotate in the corresponding rotating shaft hole 510 during the movement of the carbon fiber rod 5, so as to achieve the desired effect. In order to adapt to the change of the position of the connecting seat 55, if one of the servo motors 31 rotates too fast or too slow, the movable angle of the carbon fiber rod 5 at the corresponding position will also increase accordingly, and the position of the connecting seat 55 will change at the same time. During the process, the carbon fiber rods 5 at the other two positions will drive the U-shaped plate 52 to rotate on the connecting shaft 53 according to the change of the position of the connecting seat 55, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the position and height of the hollow stepper motor 56 and the hollow shaft 57 by adjusting the output ends of the three servo motors 31 to rotate to different degrees. By opening the middle of the hollow shaft 57 so that air can pass through the middle, it can be used to connect the air pipe and cooperate with the air pump to evacuate air, so as to suck objects for feeding.

[0030] In order to increase the range of movement of the connecting seat 55, the telescopic structure includes a U-shaped extension rod 41, which is slidably installed on the inner wall of the movable rod 34, and an extension screw rod 42 is threadedly installed on the U-shaped extension rod 41. An extension motor 43 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable rod 34, and the output end of the extension motor 43 is fixedly installed on one end of the extension screw rod 42. The U-shaped extension rod 41 is fixedly installed on one side of the extension rod 4. Turning on the extension motor 43 at the corresponding position can adjust the distance between the extension rod 4 and the movable rod 34, thereby increasing the range of movement of the hollow stepper motor 56 and the hollow shaft 57.

[0031] In order to limit the moving trajectory of the U-shaped extension rod 41, a threaded hole 44 is opened on the U-shaped extension rod 41, and the extension screw 42 is threadedly installed in the threaded hole 44. The inner wall of the movable rod 34 is opened with a sliding groove 45, and the U-shaped extension rod 41 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 45. The rotating extension screw 42 will drive the U-shaped extension rod 41 to slide by cooperating with the threaded hole 44, so that the U-shaped extension rod 41 slides in the sliding groove 45.

[0032] In order to avoid positional displacement between the reducer 32 and the triangular plate 3 , three positioning and mounting holes 35 are provided on the triangular plate 3 , and the three reducers 32 are fixedly mounted in the three positioning and mounting holes 35 , respectively. The reducers 32 can be fixed to the positioning and mounting holes 35 on the triangular plate 3 by bolts.

[0033] A first mounting hole 58 is formed on the latch pin 51, and a second mounting hole 59 is formed on the carbon fiber rod 5. The first mounting hole 58 corresponds to the second mounting hole 59. The connection and fixation between the latch pin 51 and the carbon fiber rod 5 can be achieved by passing bolts or rods through the first mounting hole 58 and the second mounting hole 59.

[0034] In order to enable the connecting shaft 53 to rotate to adapt to the change of the position of the connecting seat 55, a rotating shaft hole 510 is opened on the extension rod 4 and the bearing seat 54. The two connecting shafts 53 are rotatably installed in the two rotating shaft holes 510 respectively. When the position of the connecting seat 55 changes, the connecting shaft 53 will rotate in the corresponding rotating shaft hole 510.

[0035] The working principle is as follows: the three servo motors 31 are turned on at the same time, and the output end of the servo motor 31 drives the output end of the reducer 32 to rotate, so that the output end of the reducer 32 drives the corresponding connecting disk 33 to flip, and the flipped connecting disk 33 drives the extension rod 4 to flip through the movable rod 34. When the extension rod 4 flips, it drives the connecting shaft 53 to move, and the connecting shaft 53 drives the carbon fiber rod 5 to move through the U-shaped plate 52, and the carbon fiber rod 5 drives the bearing seat 54 to move through the cooperation of another U-shaped plate 52 and the connecting shaft 53. Since the three servo motors 31 are running at the same time, the three bearing seats 54 can move at the same time, and then drive the connecting seat 55 to move vertically. During the movement of the carbon fiber rod 5 The connecting shaft 53 will rotate in the corresponding rotating shaft hole 510 to adapt to the change of the position of the connecting seat 55. If the speed of one of the servo motors 31 is too fast or too slow, the movable angle of the carbon fiber rod 5 at the corresponding position will also increase accordingly, and the position of the connecting seat 55 will change. During the process, the carbon fiber rods 5 at the other two positions will drive the U-shaped plate 52 to rotate on the connecting shaft 53 according to the change of the position of the connecting seat 55. Therefore, by adjusting the output ends of the three servo motors 31 to rotate to different degrees, the position and height of the hollow stepper motor 56 and the hollow shaft 57 can be adjusted. By opening the middle of the hollow shaft 57 so that air can pass through the middle, it can be used to connect the air pipe and cooperate with the air pump to The U-shaped extension rod 41 is driven by the extension motor 43 to slide in the sliding groove 45, and the U-shaped extension rod 41 is driven by the extension motor 43 to slide in the sliding groove 45. ... When the threaded seat 64 slides, it will drive the movable frame 6 to slide on the support frame 1. When the movable frame 6 slides, it will drive the mounting seat 2 to slide through the guide slide bar 68, so that the position of the entire robotic arm can be adjusted. When the first adjusting motor 61 is turned on, it can drive the first adjusting screw rod 62 to rotate. The rotating first adjusting screw rod 62 can drive the first threaded seat 63 to slide. The sliding first threaded seat 63 drives the mounting seat 2 to slide. At this time, the mounting seat 2 will drive the two guide slide bars 68 to slide in the two guide slide grooves 67 respectively, thereby preventing the mounting seat 2 from being offset. The cooperation of the first adjusting motor 61 and the second adjusting motor 65 can realize the adjustment of the position of the robotic arm on the X and Y axes, thereby further improving the range of motion of the robotic arm.

[0036] Example 2: Figure 1In order to further improve the movable range of the robot arm, an adjustment structure is arranged on the support frame 1, and the adjustment structure includes a movable frame 6, which is slidably installed on the support frame 1.

The first adjusting screw rod 62 is rotatably installed on the movable frame 6, and a first threaded seat 63 is threadedly installed on the first adjusting screw rod 62. The first threaded seat 63 is fixedly installed on the top side of the mounting seat 2, and second threaded seats 64 are fixedly installed on both sides of the movable frame 6. Two second adjusting motors 65 are fixedly installed on the support frame 1, and second adjusting screw rods 66 are fixedly installed on the output ends of the two second adjusting motors 65. The two second adjusting screw rods 66 are rotatably installed on the support frame 1, and the two second adjusting screw rods 66 are respectively threaded on the two second threaded seats 64. The inner walls on both sides of the movable frame 6 are provided with guide grooves 67, and the two guide grooves 67 are slidable. A guide slide 68 is dynamically installed, and the two guide slides 68 are fixedly installed on the top side of the mounting seat 2. When the second adjusting motor 65 is turned on, its output end can drive the second adjusting screw rod 66 to rotate, and the rotating second adjusting screw rod 66 will drive the second threaded seat 64 to slide. When the second threaded seat 64 slides, it will drive the movable frame 6 to slide on the support frame 1. When the movable frame 6 slides, it will drive the mounting seat 2 to slide through the guide slide bar 68, so that the position of the entire robotic arm can be adjusted. When the first adjusting motor 61 is turned on, it can drive the first adjusting screw rod 62 to rotate, and the rotating first adjusting screw rod 62 can drive the first threaded seat 63 to slide. The sliding first threaded seat 63 drives the mounting seat 2 to slide. At this time, the mounting seat 2 will drive the two guide slide bars 68 to slide in the two guide slide grooves 67 respectively, thereby preventing the mounting seat 2 from offset. The position of the robotic arm on the X and Y axes can be adjusted through the cooperation of the first adjusting motor 61 and the second adjusting motor 65. The remaining features are the same as those in Example 1.
