DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific illustrations.
[0031] The following concepts need to be explained in this utility model:
[0032] 1. The seventh axis of the robot: refers to the horizontal movement axis of the robot (such as Figure 1 The seventh axis is mainly used to expand the robot's working space, so that the robot can work in a wider arc and handle the workpiece more flexibly and accurately.
[0033] 2. Roller: A type of sports equipment, made of a number of iron rods balanced to connect two iron rings of the same size;
[0034] 3. Flange: A groove or ridge made of metal or other materials that can support, fix, guide and reduce friction of moving devices or equipment.
[0035] like Figure 1-13 As shown, an external walking mechanism of a robot is applied to the seventh axis 15 of the robot. A flange 18 is provided on the top side wall of the seventh axis 15 of the robot. Rollers 3 are movably installed on the top, top and side walls of the flange 18. A roller box 2 is commonly installed on several rollers 3. Four roller boxes 2 are provided on the seventh axis 15 of the robot. A bearing plate 1 is commonly installed on the top of the four roller boxes 2. A robot mounting seat is provided on the top of the bearing plate 1.
[0036] A servo motor 7 and a reducer 13 are provided on the supporting plate 1. The output end of the servo motor 7 is connected to the input end of the reducer 13. A gear 14 is installed on the output end of the reducer 13. A rack 4 consistent with the length direction of the seventh axis 15 of the robot is provided. The gear 14 meshes with the rack 4.
[0037] The purpose of adopting the above scheme is to start the servo motor 7, so that the output shaft of the servo motor 7 rotates, thereby driving the output shaft of the reducer 13 to rotate, and then driving the gear 14 to rotate, and finally making the gear 14 move on the rack 4, so that with the assistance of the roller 3 on each roller box 2, the supporting plate 1 moves on the seventh axis 15 of the robot.
[0038] Each roller 3 is rotatably connected to a shaft, and each shaft is fixedly mounted on a roller 3 housing through a nut.
[0039] The reducer 13 is a precision helical planetary reducer with an accuracy of 1 arc minute, which is used to ensure the repeatability of the entire device, that is, its error range is ±0.1 mm.
[0040] It should be noted that the reducer 13 is driven by the servo motor 7 , and the fixed end of the servo motor 7 is mounted on the bearing plate 1 .
[0041] The roller box 2 is also provided with a dust scraping device 8, which is movably connected to a flange on the seventh axis 15 of the robot.
[0042] Connecting rods are installed on both sides of the bottom of the supporting plate 1, and limit switches 10 are arranged on the connecting rods. Slide rails 9 are installed on the side walls of the flanges, and limit columns are arranged in the slide rails 9. Each connecting rod is slidably installed in the slide rails 9, and is used to alarm when the connecting rod slides in the slide rails 9 until the limit switch 10 contacts the limit column, and the servo motor 7 stops running.
[0043] The bottom of the supporting plate 1 is also connected to a connecting plate 11, and an anti-collision block 12 is installed on the flange. One end of the anti-collision block 12 corresponds to one end of the connecting plate 11. When a section of the connecting plate 11 contacts the anti-collision block 12, the supporting plate 1 moves to a specified position and prevents the machine from losing control, thereby preventing it from rushing out of the flange.
[0044] A lubricating felt wheel 17 is also provided at one end of the bearing plate 1. The lubricating felt wheel 17 is located at the front side of the gear 14 and corresponds to the rack 4. The lubricating felt wheel 17 is used to lubricate the rack 4 while the bearing plate 1 moves on the flange with the assistance of the gear 14 (it should be noted that before the entire device is used, the lubricating felt wheel 7 can be brushed with lubricating oil or the lubricating felt wheel 7 can be oiled by connecting the oil pump 5 to a conduit, and one end of the conduit is connected to the oil pump, and the other end is installed on the tank chain 16 (it should be noted that the device is also provided with a tank chain 16, that is, one end of the tank chain 16 is connected to the seventh axis 15 of the robot, and the other end is connected to the bearing plate 1, and various wires and various pipelines are placed on the tank chain 16, so that the various wires and various pipelines move regularly with the movement of the tank chain 16 to avoid entanglement), and the other end corresponds to the lubricating felt wheel 7), so that the gear 14 can better be geared with the rack 4.
[0045] The working principle of this device is as follows:
[0046] First, start the servo motor 7, and the output end of the servo motor 7 begins to rotate, thereby driving the output end of the reducer 13 to rotate, and then driving the gear 14 to move on the rack 4. During the walking process, the rollers 3 in all directions on the roller box 2 roll on the flange, so that the carrier plate 1 moves on the seventh axis 15 of the robot, and during the movement, the rack 4 is lubricated by the lubricating felt wheel to facilitate better gear connection between the gear 14 and the rack 4. In addition, through the anti-collision block 12, when a section of the connecting plate 11 contacts the anti-collision block 12, the carrier plate 1 moves to the specified position and prevents the machine from losing control, thereby preventing it from rushing out of the flange.
[0047] The seventh axis 15 of the robot is also provided with an oil injection pump 5 for lubricating the transmission components, including the gear rack, roller flange, etc.
[0048] The utility model utilizes the roller 3 to move on the flange, that is, the roller 3 is used to carry the bearing plate 1, a robot mounting seat is arranged on the bearing plate 1, and a plurality of rollers 3 are respectively arranged on a roller box 2, so that they contact and roll with multiple surfaces of the flange. Compared with the existing straight flange combined with the slider bearing, the roller bearing method used by the utility model has high performance and high load capacity; no protection is required, and it has a built-in dust scraping device, which can adapt to a variety of working environments and effectively scrape off impurities such as paint and welding slag; it is convenient to repair and replace, and only simple disassembly and replacement from the side is required at any position.
[0049] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
