Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of manipulators and robots, and in particular to a motor tensioning mechanism and a five-axis robot. Background Art

[0002] Five-axis robot, five-axis robot arm, and five-axis manipulator refer to robot systems with five independent mechanical degrees of freedom. These five axes usually include the main arm pull-out axis, the main arm up-down axis, the auxiliary arm pull-out axis, the auxiliary arm up-down axis, and the horizontal axis, which work together to achieve complex three-dimensional spatial motion.

[0003] Each rotary joint of a five-axis robot generally corresponds to a motor. The motor directly participates in the rotation force and also bears a large reaction force. If the stability of the motor position is mainly considered after long-term use, the motor needs to be fixed by round holes and bolts; if the motor is expected to have the ability to fine-tune the spatial position, the motor needs to be assembled using waist-shaped holes, oblong holes and bolts. However, waist-shaped holes and oblong holes have less restrictive ability on the motor than round holes. After long-term use, the motor is subjected to the tension of the transmission belt, which may cause a slight displacement, and then cause the transmission belt to loosen.

[0004] During the entire production process of the five-axis robot, the motor needs to have a secure installation position and a certain degree of fine-tuning capability to ensure that the motor's spatial position is in a reasonable position and that the motor's drive belt is always within an appropriate range of tightness. Utility Model Content

[0005] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a motor tensioning mechanism and a five-axis robot, so that the motor inside the robot and the mechanical arm can ensure the fine-tuning ability of the motor position and the long-term position stability of the motor.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a motor tensioning mechanism and a five-axis robot. In order to achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A motor tensioning mechanism comprises: an intermediate plate fixed to one end of a motor, the intermediate plate having a waist-shaped hole penetrating the intermediate plate; an edge of one side of the intermediate plate having an inclined surface; a bottom plate assembled to a side of the intermediate plate facing away from the motor; a fixed block fixed to one side of the bottom plate; a truncated cone block located between the inclined surface and the fixed block, the truncated cone block having bolts passing therethrough and threadedly assembled with the bottom plate; a corner of the intermediate plate being axially connected with the bottom plate; an outer wall of the truncated cone block comprising a revolving surface and a cut plane, the revolving surface being a convex curved surface, the cut plane being parallel to the axis of the truncated cone block, the revolving surface being in line contact with the inclined surface, and the cut plane being in surface contact with the side elevation of the fixed block.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is: this technical solution, as a fixing mechanism of the motor, not only ensures the fine-tuning ability of the motor position, but also ensures the long-term position stability of the motor. First, the waist-shaped hole ensures the fine-tuning ability of the motor position, and the fine-tuning range of the motor depends on the length of the waist-shaped hole. Secondly, one corner of the middle plate is connected to the bottom plate axis, and the two have a certain degree of freedom of swinging within a certain angle. This swing is achieved by squeezing the ramp surface by the truncated cone block. Thirdly, the line contact extrusion between the rotating surface and the ramp surface can amplify the extrusion force, and the surface contact between the cut surface and the fixed block provides strength for the reaction support force. Finally, by using the knob truncated cone block to achieve the distance between the ramp surface and the fixed block, the position of the motor can be fine-tuned, and then the tensioning effect of components such as the transmission belt or rotating chain connected to the motor can be achieved.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the middle plate has an integrated outer protrusion, the waist-shaped hole is located in the outer protrusion, and the slope surface is located on one side edge of the outer protrusion; the length direction of the waist-shaped hole forms an angle with the edge direction of the outer protrusion where the slope surface is located.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the slope surface is equivalent to a single-edged blade. The outer convex block is convenient for arranging the waist-shaped hole and the slope surface to avoid being covered by the motor.

[0011] As a further improvement of the utility model, the outer diameter of the truncated cone block gradually decreases in the direction approaching the bottom plate; the slope surface forms an angle greater than 45° with the plane of the bottom plate.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the side surface of the truncated cone block and the slope surface are in line contact and also in sliding friction.

[0013] As a further improvement of the utility model, the fixing block is assembled with the base plate through a plurality of bolts.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the fixing block needs to be in a stable relative position to the base plate, so a large number of bolts are required.

[0015] As a further improvement of the utility model, the bottom plate has a first through hole, a second through hole, and a third through hole; the middle plate has a plurality of fourth through holes and a fifth through hole; the first through hole and the fifth through hole axially overlap and are axially connected.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the bottom plate rotates around the first through hole as the center of rotation, and the middle plate also rotates around the fifth through hole as the center of rotation.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the bolts and the fourth through holes are used to relatively fix the motor and the middle plate.

[0019] As a further improvement of the utility model, the bottom plate is provided with a recessed pit, in which a bolt is passed, and the bolt in the recessed pit is a hexagon socket bolt.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the concave pit is used to bury the end of the bolt, and the bolt head does not protrude, so that the middle plate has a swing range on the bottom plate to avoid interference. The hexagon socket bolt is convenient for turning the knob bolt in a narrow space.

[0021] As a further improvement of the utility model, the fifth through hole and the waist-shaped hole are respectively located at the diagonals of the middle plate; the direction of the line connecting the fifth through hole and the waist-shaped hole is perpendicular to the length direction of the waist-shaped hole itself.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the length direction of the waist-shaped hole nearly corresponds to the arc of the middle plate swinging within a small angle.

[0023] As a further improvement of the utility model, the bottom plate has a first hollow hole and a second hollow hole, the middle plate has a third hollow hole, the first hollow hole and the third hollow hole are axially overlapped; the third hollow hole has a step surface in contact with the motor surface.

[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the step surface can have good axial and radial limiting capabilities.
