[0002] With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the continuous expansion of robot application fields, the original robot end effector can no longer meet today's production needs. In order to overcome the shortcomings of ordinary end effectors such as single clamping method, small activity space, lack of flexibility, and difficulty in precise control, dexterous manipulators (abbreviated as dexterous hands) came into being. Dexterous hands have multiple degrees of freedom and can grasp objects of various shapes and different materials, and can also perform fine operations on the grasped objects. Using it to replace a dedicated gripper and install it at the end of the robot manipulator can not only expand the robot's operating range, but also improve the robot's operating quality.

Moreover, the lubricating oil cannot be stored in large quantities at the joints, and it is easy to cause interference. Traditional joint oiling devices for robot maintenance are not convenient to oil when in use, and it is more troublesome to refuel (because a lot of lubricating oil will overflow, causing waste, and the lubricating oil requires repeated rotation of the joints to be applied).
