[0025] An industrial robot connection mechanism includes an industrial robot body 1, the bottom end of the industrial robot body 1 is connected to a connection seat 2, and one end of the connection seat 2 is connected to a connection frame 4, one end of the connection frame 4 is connected to a fixed base 5, and multiple groups of buffer mechanisms are arranged between the fixed base 5 and the connection frame 4, the multiple groups of buffer mechanisms include a spring 6, and the upper and lower ends of the spring 6 are respectively connected to a first connecting plate 612 and a second connecting plate 613, one end of the first connecting plate 612 is connected to the connection frame 4, one end of the second connecting plate 613 is connected to the fixed base 5, the middle end of the second connecting plate 613 is connected to a damper 611, and one end of the damper 611 is connected to the first connecting plate 612.

[0026] Furthermore, the first connecting plate 612 is connected to the connecting frame 4 via a plurality of sets of second bolts 614. The preload force of the buffer mechanism can be conveniently adjusted via the second bolts 614 to adapt to different working environments and requirements.

[0027] Furthermore, the outer surface of the connecting seat 2 is provided with a plurality of screw grooves 211, and the outer surface of the bottom end of the connecting seat 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 212 and snap-fit ​​grooves 213. The design of the screw grooves 211 allows the connecting seat 2 to be firmly connected to other components using bolts or other fasteners, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, the presence of the positioning grooves 212 and the snap-fit ​​grooves 213 ensures the accurate positioning of the connecting seat 2 during the assembly process, avoiding structural failures caused by improper positioning.

[0028] Furthermore, a locking pin 412 and a plurality of positioning pins 411 are fixedly installed on the top outer surface of the connecting frame 4. Due to the presence of the locking pin 412 and the positioning pin 411, the assembly process becomes simpler and faster. The user only needs to align the locking pin 412 and the positioning pin 411 with the corresponding grooves or holes and then fix them, which reduces the alignment and adjustment time during assembly and improves the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, a plurality of sets of limit plates 7 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting frame 4, and through grooves are opened on the outer surfaces of the plurality of limit plates 7, in which a first screw 3 is movably installed. The design of the limit plates 7 enables the connecting frame 4 to have better stability when connected with other components. The first screw 3 movably installed in the through groove provides a convenient adjustment and fixing mechanism. By rotating the first screw 3, the screw groove 211 on the outer surface of the connecting seat 2 can be tightly matched, thereby achieving structural fixation.

[0030] Furthermore, a plurality of operating rods 311 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the first screw rod 3, and one end of the plurality of operating rods 311 is arc-shaped. By rotating the operating rods 311, the user can adjust the position of the first screw rod 3 more quickly and efficiently, thereby speeding up the assembly or disassembly process.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the multiple groups of operating rods 311 are wrapped with rubber. Rubber materials generally have a good grip and anti-slip properties. Therefore, wrapping the outer surfaces of the operating rods 311 in rubber can make it easier for users to hold during operation and reduce the possibility of slipping due to sweaty or wet hands.

[0032] Working principle: At the bottom of the industrial robot body 1, the connecting seat 2 serves as a transition part between the body and the connecting frame 4, playing a connecting role. The connecting frame 4 is connected to the fixed base 5, which serves as the supporting foundation of the entire connecting mechanism to ensure the stable placement of the industrial robot. In order to improve the seismic resistance of the connecting mechanism, multiple groups of buffer mechanisms are set between the fixed base 5 and the connecting frame 4. These buffer mechanisms are composed of a spring 6, a first connecting plate 612 and a second connecting plate 613. The upper end of the spring 6 is connected to the first connecting plate 612, and the lower end is connected to the second connecting plate 613. When the industrial robot is subjected to external impact or vibration, the spring 6 can absorb and buffer these forces through its own elastic deformation, thereby reducing the impact on the main body of the industrial robot. In order to improve the buffering effect, the middle end of the second connecting plate 613 is also connected to a damper 611, and one end of the damper 611 is connected to the first connecting plate 612. The addition of the damper 611 can further consume and reduce the energy of impact and vibration on the basis of the buffering of the spring 6, so that the main body 1 of the industrial robot is more stable when affected by the outside world.
