Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of industrial robots, in particular to a weight adjustment structure for changing the load of a six-degree-of-freedom industrial robot. Background Art

[0002] Load regulation for 6DOF industrial robots is a key technology that ensures that the robot can maintain optimal performance and safety when performing various tasks. By precisely adjusting the load, the robot can adapt to workpieces of different weights and shapes, thereby expanding its application range, from delicate electronic component assembly to heavy machinery handling. Load regulation helps the robot achieve optimal motion control in various working environments and avoid mechanical damage or performance degradation caused by overloading or underloading. In addition, it also helps to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy waste, and reduce long-term operating costs. Load regulation also enhances the flexibility of the robot, enabling it to quickly adapt to changes in production needs and improve production efficiency. In a human-robot collaborative environment, proper load regulation can ensure that the robot maintains a safe operating range when interacting with humans and reduce the risk of accidents.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to achieve load adjustment of the robot, the traditional technology is to fix the load to be mounted on the outer surface of one end of the auxiliary rod balance body with bolts at one end of the existing auxiliary rod balance body when the weight needs to be increased. Since the auxiliary rod and the mounted load are manufactured through a casting process, the mounted load and the outer surface of one end of the auxiliary rod balance body cannot perfectly fit, which not only increases the external volume but also leaves a large gap on the fitting surface. When the weight needs to be reduced and the external weight is unloaded, the processed surface will also be exposed to the outside, which will greatly affect the appearance of the product.

[0004] For example, the utility model with publication number CN220864031U discloses a robot joint for heavy loads. In this technical solution, the structure for adjusting the load is arranged on the outside, which has a great impact on the overall aesthetics of the product. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to disclose a weight adjustment structure for changing the load of a six-degree-of-freedom industrial robot, which can not only realize the change of the load of the robot by adjusting the weight, but also effectively avoid the problem of excessive gaps caused by the failure of perfect fit between the fitting surfaces of multiple castings, thereby retaining the original product appearance and aesthetics.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned effect, the present application discloses a weight adjustment structure for changing the load of a six-degree-of-freedom industrial robot, wherein at least one group of load mounting holes of a hollow structure for accommodating a mounted load-bearing unit is arranged on the balancing body of the robot's auxiliary rod, and the mounted load-bearing unit includes a load-bearing body, and the load-bearing body is fixedly connected to a decorative cover plate, and a plurality of bolt holes are equidistantly arranged on the edge of the decorative cover plate, and an outer edge of the load mounting hole is provided with a mounting stopper with a diameter greater than the diameter of the load mounting hole, and the mounting stopper is consistent with the outer contour of the decorative cover plate and the depth of the mounting stopper is consistent with the thickness of the decorative cover plate, and a threaded blind hole corresponding to the bolt hole is arranged in the mounting stopper, and the mounted load-bearing unit is fixed in the load mounting hole by bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, a gasket is provided between the bolt and the bolt hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the load-bearing body is in the shape of a cylinder, and the load-bearing unit controls the load-bearing weight of the load-bearing body by changing the diameter and height of the cylinder of the load-bearing body.

[0009] Furthermore, the cylindrical height of the weight-bearing body is smaller than the depth of the load-bearing mounting hole, and the diameter of the weight-bearing body is smaller than the inner diameter of the load-bearing mounting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a recessed groove corresponding to the bolt hole is provided at the bolt hole position on the device cover plate, and the depth of the recessed groove is less than the thickness of the decorative cover plate and greater than the height of the bolt head.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the threaded blind hole is a tapered tapered structure.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0013] The novel structure disclosed herein is a weight adjustment structure for changing the load of a six-degree-of-freedom industrial robot. The load is increased by fixing a mounted load unit inside a balancing body of an original robot sub-rod. The appearance and volume of the robot sub-rod after the load is increased are designed in advance at the beginning of the design. Sufficient internal space and mounting stop for a load mounting hole are reserved inside the lower end of the balancing body to ensure the weight of the balancing body. When the load needs to be increased to change the load of the robot, the mounted load can be inserted into the reserved internal space and fixed to the mounting stop at one end of the sub-rod by bolts. The size of the load can be easily changed by changing the diameter of the mounted load insertion body. When the load needs to be unloaded, the mounted load can be unloaded. Moreover, the purpose of multiple loads of the robot can be easily achieved by replacing mounted weights of different diameters without affecting the appearance.

[0014] Compared with the traditional method, the utility model can not only achieve the purpose of changing the various loads of the robot by increasing or decreasing the weight of the balance body from the inside, but also effectively avoid the problem of excessive gaps caused by the inability to perfectly fit the fitting surfaces of multiple castings, thereby retaining the original product appearance and aesthetics.
