When the staff uses the control handle 1 in conjunction with the display to control the robot, in order to facilitate the staff to view the robot status on the display, the staff can adjust the angle of the display according to needs. When adjusting, first push the connecting column 205 and the connecting rod 206 into the inside of the movable groove 201. The connecting column 205 pushes inward to drive the matching ring 203 to move inward inside the movable groove 201 and squeeze the compression spring 204. At the same time, the matching ring 203 will no longer be meshed with the gear ring 202. Then, the base 102 and the display can be rotated as needed. When rotating, the connecting rod 206 can be used to drive the connecting column 205 and the matching ring 203 to rotate inside the movable groove 201. After the rotation is adjusted to a suitable angle, the hand can be separated from the connecting rod 206, and the matching ring 203 can be pushed to engage with the gear ring 202 under the rebound force of the compression spring 204, so that the matching ring 203 can be limited inside the movable groove 201. At the same time, the base 102 and the display can be limited by the connecting column 205 and the connecting rod 206, thereby flexibly and conveniently adjusting the appropriate monitoring angle, thereby improving the control of the robot and the work efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing member 301, a vertical plate 302, a limiting member 303, a pull rod 304 and a tension spring 305. The fixing member 301 is fixedly connected to the front side of the base 102, the vertical plate 302 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base 102, the limiting member 303 is arranged at the top of the base 102, a display is arranged between the fixing member 301 and the limiting member 303, one end of the pull rod 304 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the limiting member 303, the other end of the pull rod 304 passes through the rear side of the vertical plate 302, a movable sleeve of the tension spring 305 is arranged on the surface of the pull rod 304, one end of the tension spring 305 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the limiting member 303, the other end of the tension spring 305 is fixedly connected to the On the front side, one end of the pull rod 304 is fixedly connected with a handle 5, and the handle 5 is in the shape of a long strip. When the staff needs to install the monitor on the base 102, the pull rod 304 can be pulled backward through the handle 5. The movement of the pull rod 304 backward can drive the limit member 303 to move backward and squeeze the tension spring 305. Then, the monitor is placed between the limit member 303 and the fixing member 301 on the base 102, and then the hand is separated from the handle 5. The limit rod and the pull rod 304 can be pushed forward under the rebound force of the tension spring 305. Under the squeezing of the spring and the cooperation of the limit and fixing members 301, the monitor can be quickly installed on the base 102 to improve the monitoring efficiency of the staff.

[0030] Furthermore, a slider 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limit member 303, and a slide groove 402 used in conjunction with the slider 401 is provided on the top of the base 102. When the limit member 303 is pulled to move on the base 102, the limit member 303 will drive the slider 401 to slide inside the slide groove 402, thereby providing an auxiliary limit to the limit member 303 to prevent the limit member 303 from being displaced due to lack of limit when moving.

[0031] It is worth noting that a matching groove 601 is provided on one side of the mounting column 101, and the diameter inside the matching groove 601 is larger than the outer side, and a movable column 602 is movably arranged inside the matching groove 601, and the outer end of the movable column 602 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 206, and the connecting rod 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 102, and one end of the movable column 602 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 603, and the diameter of the limiting plate 603 is larger than the diameter of the outer side of the matching groove 601 and is movably arranged inside the matching groove 601. When adjusting the angle, when the base 102 and the display are pushed to rotate, the connecting rod 206 on the other side can be driven to drive the movable column 602 to rotate inside the matching groove 601 at the same time, and the base 102 can be evenly supported by the two connecting rods 206. At the same time, under the action of the limiting plate 603, the movable column 602 is prevented from being separated from the inside of the matching groove 601, thereby playing an auxiliary limiting role for the movable column 602 under the action of the limiting plate 603.

[0032] In addition, a slot 7 is provided on the top of the fixing member 301 and the limiting member 303. The fixing member 301 and the limiting member 303 are both made of rubber. When using the control handle 1, the slot 7 can reduce the blocking of the limiter by the fixing member 301 and the limiting member 303, so as to facilitate the staff to view the contents of the display. At the same time, under the action of the fixing member 301 and the limiting member 303 made of rubber, the display can be protected to prevent the limiter and the fixing member 301 from scratching the display.

[0033] Working principle: When the staff uses the control handle 1 in conjunction with the display to control the robot, in order to facilitate the staff to view the robot status on the display, the staff can adjust the angle of the display according to needs. When adjusting, first push the connecting column 205 and the connecting rod 206 into the inside of the movable groove 201. The connecting column 205 pushes inward to drive the matching ring 203 to move inward inside the movable groove 201 and squeeze the compression spring 204. At the same time, the matching ring 203 will no longer be meshed with the gear ring 202. Then, the base 102 and the display can be rotated as needed. When it rotates, the connecting rod 206 can drive the connecting column 205 and the matching ring 203 to rotate inside the movable groove 201. After the rotation is adjusted to a suitable angle, the hand is separated from the connecting rod 206, and the matching ring 203 can be pushed to engage with the gear ring 202 under the rebound force of the compression spring 204, so that the matching ring 203 can be limited inside the movable groove 201. At the same time, the base 102 and the display can be limited by the connecting column 205 and the connecting rod 206, thereby flexibly and conveniently adjusting the appropriate monitoring angle, thereby improving the control of the robot and the work efficiency.
