Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of manipulators, and in particular relates to a manipulator with an anti-collision function. Background Art

[0002] The manipulator can imitate certain movements and functions of human hands and arms, and is an automatic operating device used to grab, move objects or operate tools according to a fixed program. The manipulator is the earliest industrial robot and also the earliest modern robot. It can replace heavy labor of people to realize mechanization and automation of production, and can operate in harmful environments to protect personal safety.

[0003] When working, the existing manipulator adjusts the position and angle of the gripper through the arm, and then controls the gripper to grip and pick up the object to achieve the object transportation. However, there are the following defects:

[0004] (1) When the existing manipulator is working, its gripper contacts and clamps the object. At this time, there is direct hard contact and hard clamping between the gripper and the object, without any buffering effect, which causes the gripper to collide with the object and cause damage to the object. For this reason, we propose a manipulator with an anti-collision function. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a manipulator with an anti-collision function to solve the problem in the background art that during operation of the manipulator, a hard contact collision occurs between the gripper and the object, causing damage to the object.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a manipulator with anti-collision function, comprising an arm assembly, wherein the clamping end of the arm assembly is equipped with two clamping claws, an assembly cylinder is embedded in the clamping claws, a spring is arranged inside the assembly cylinder, a push column is arranged at one end of the spring, and the push column is located inside the assembly cylinder, and a movable chuck is fixed at one end of the push column.

[0007] Preferably, both end surfaces of the movable clamp are provided with limiting holes, and limiting blocks are arranged inside the limiting holes, and the limiting blocks are fixed on the surface of the clamping jaws.

[0008] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the movable chuck is a U-shaped structure.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded hole is formed on the end surface of the assembly cylinder, a stud is threadedly connected in the threaded hole, one end of the stud is connected to a rotating assembly, and an inner disk is connected to the rotating assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating assembly consists of an end column and an end sleeve, and the end sleeve is installed on the outer wall of the end column by sleeve arrangement.

[0011] Preferably, the cross section of the end column is a convex structure, the longitudinal sections of the end column and the end sleeve are both circular structures, and the central axes of the end column and the end sleeve coincide with each other.

[0012] Preferably, a rubber block is installed on the movable clamp, and the widths of the rubber block and the movable clamp are equal.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] (1) Through the designed assembly tube, spring, push column and movable chuck, the movable chuck is movably installed at the clamping end of the clamping jaw through the assembly tube and the push column. When the clamping jaw clamps an object, the movable chuck at the end contacts the object first, and during the clamping process, the movable chuck moves and squeezes the spring. The spring reversely squeezes the movable chuck to achieve soft clamping, effectively avoiding the situation in which the clamping jaw directly and hard contacts the clamped object during the clamping work of the traditional manipulator and causes hard collision, thereby causing damage to the object. Through the designed limit block and limit hole, the sliding position of the movable chuck is limited to avoid separation from the clamping jaw. Through the designed threaded hole, stud, rotating assembly and inner disk, the stud is rotated. The stud drives the inner disk to squeeze the spring through thread adjustment to achieve the adjustment of the elastic force of the spring. Through the designed rubber block, the rubber block has soft characteristics, which further reduces the clamping impact effect between the movable chuck and the object.
