[0037] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, a power-assisting manipulator for rotating an armrest box assembly is provided, including a power-assisting manipulator body 10, a second connecting arm 20, a support seat 30, a first brake assembly 40, two clamping arms 50 and a driving assembly. The main arm 11 of the power-assisting manipulator body 10 is rotatably provided with a first connecting arm 12. The structure and working principle of the power-assisting manipulator body 10 are prior art and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0038] One end of the second connecting arm 20 is connected to the first connecting arm 12, and the support seat 30 is rotatably arranged on the second connecting arm 20. The first brake assembly 40 is used to lock the support seat 30 to prevent it from rotating, or to release the locking state of the support seat 30. Two clamping arms 50 are arranged on both sides of the support seat 30, and a clamping position is formed between the two clamping arms 50. At least two positioning pins 51 are arranged on the side of each clamping arm 50 facing the other clamping arm 50. The driving assembly is arranged on the support seat 30, and the driving assembly is used to drive the two clamping arms 50 to move toward or away from each other synchronously.

[0039] The present embodiment provides an assistive manipulator for transferring an armrest box assembly, which drives two clamping arms 50 by designing a driving component. When the two clamping arms 50 move away from each other, the positioning pins 51 on the two clamping arms 50 can avoid the armrest box assembly, so that the two clamping arms 50 can move to both sides of the armrest box assembly and prepare for transferring the armrest box assembly. When the two clamping arms 50 move toward each other, the positioning pins 51 on the clamping arms 50 can be inserted into the corresponding jacks of the armrest box assembly, so that the two clamping arms 50 can grab the armrest box assembly. In this way, the armrest box assembly can be transferred to the rack. The assistive manipulator improves the gripping effect of the armrest box assembly and ensures stability and safety during the transfer process.

[0040] At the same time, by designing a rotatable support base 30 on the second connecting arm 20 and using the first brake assembly 40 to implement the locking or unlocking operation of the support base 30, it is convenient for the operator to quickly adjust the position status of the two clamping arms 50, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the armrest box assembly.

[0041] In one embodiment, the driving assembly includes two bidirectional cylinders 60, and the push rods on both sides of the bidirectional cylinders 60 are respectively fixed with connecting seats 61, and the clamping arm 50 is detachably connected to the two connecting seats 61 on the same side by bolts. The axis of the push rod of the bidirectional cylinder 60 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the connecting seats 61 on both sides of the bidirectional cylinder 60 are synchronously moved closer to or away from each other. Under the drive of the two bidirectional cylinders 60, the two clamping arms 50 can achieve synchronous movement of moving closer to or away from each other. At the same time, by designing two bidirectional cylinders 60, each clamping arm 50 is connected to two bidirectional cylinders 60, which improves the stability of the two clamping arms 50 in clamping.

[0042] Furthermore, two connecting blocks 52 are provided on the clamping arm 50, and the connecting blocks 52 are connected to the corresponding connecting seats 61. The design of the connecting blocks 52 helps to adjust the distance between the two clamping arms 50, so as to adapt to the sizes of different products and improve the scalability of the power-assisted manipulator.

[0043] In one embodiment, a connecting shaft 31 is provided on the top of the support seat 30, the connecting shaft 31 is provided between the two bidirectional cylinders 60, and the connecting shaft 31 is rotatably provided on the second connecting arm 20. The first brake assembly 40 includes a brake disc 41 and a brake member 42, the brake disc 41 is fixedly sleeved outside the connecting shaft 31, and the brake member 42 is provided on the second connecting arm 20, and the brake member 42 is an air-pressure butterfly brake, and the brake member 42 can clamp or release the brake disc 41.

[0044] The structure of using the brake member 42 to brake the brake disc 41 can increase the rotation range of the support seat 30, making it easier for operators to quickly and accurately adjust the positions of the two clamping arms 50, shortening the adjustment time, thereby improving production efficiency. Moreover, the overall structure is simpler, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first connecting arm 12 wall includes a first arm body 121 and a second arm body 122. The first arm body 121 and the second connecting arm 20 are both arranged horizontally, and the second arm body 122 is arranged vertically. One end of the first arm body 121 is bent and rotatably connected to the main arm 11 of the power manipulator body 10, and the other end of the first arm body 121 is bent and rotatably connected to the second arm body 122. The bottom of the second arm body 122 is bent and connected to the second connecting arm 20.

[0046] The power-assisted manipulator further includes a second brake assembly 70 and a third brake assembly 80. The second brake assembly 70 is used to lock the first arm 121 to prevent it from rotating, or to release the locking state of the first arm 121. The third brake assembly 80 is used to lock the second arm 122 to prevent it from rotating, or to release the locking state of the second arm 122. The structural design of the first connecting arm 12 greatly improves the working range of the power-assisted manipulator. The second brake assembly 70 and the third brake assembly 80 both adopt the structure of the first brake assembly 40, which will not be repeated here.

[0047] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the operator to operate the power-assisted manipulator, a first handle 21 is provided on the second connecting arm 20 , and an operating button 13 and a second handle 14 are provided on the second arm body 122 .

[0048] In the specification of the present utility model, a lot of specific details are described. However, it is understood that the embodiments of the present utility model can be practiced without these specific details. In some examples, well-known methods, structures and techniques are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents.
