Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical arms, in particular to an anti-collision structure of a highly sealed underwater mechanical arm. Background Art
[0002] An underwater robotic arm is a mechanical device designed specifically for performing various tasks in underwater environments. It is usually composed of robotic arms connected by multiple joints. It has high flexibility and operational precision and can perform complex operations and tasks in the deep sea or other underwater environments.
[0003] According to a disclosed sealing structure of an underwater robotic arm (publication number: CN215093705U), it includes a mounting plate, a protective tube, and a robotic arm. The protective tube is threaded with a sealing cylinder on the inner side of its lower port, and the interior of the sealing cylinder is slidably connected with a movable part, and the movable part is composed of a ring plate, a sealing plate, a sealing gasket, a connecting column, a retaining spring and a limit plate. A sealing gasket is bonded to the plate surface of the sealing plate facing the sealing cylinder, and the side of the sealing plate away from the connecting column is fixedly mounted on the ring plate. However, in the above-mentioned device, it is difficult to achieve a shock-absorbing effect through the mutual cooperation of components such as the mounting plate, the protective tube and the robotic arm, which increases the risk of damage to the robotic arm when it is subjected to external impact, thereby reducing the service life of the robotic arm and increasing the cost of maintenance and replacement, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an anti-collision structure for an underwater mechanical arm with high sealing performance. The force of squeezing the positioning plate and the mounting block by the pulling force generated when the mechanical arm is working cooperates with the components such as the return spring, the telescopic rod and the damper in the anti-collision device, so that the return spring can offset the effect of the vibration force by generating a reaction force opposite to the vibration direction, thereby solving the existing problems.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0006] The utility model is an anti-collision structure of a highly sealed underwater mechanical arm, comprising a protective plate, a mounting seat is fixedly connected to the side of the protective plate, a fixing column is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting seat, a mechanical arm is arranged on the side of the fixing column, and a mechanical claw is arranged on the top of the mechanical arm;

[0008] Furthermore, a spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning plate, and one end of the spring away from the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate. The side of the mounting block is fixedly connected to the side of the protective plate. The vibration energy is converted into elastic potential energy through the action of the return spring, and then the vibration force is offset by the reaction force, thereby reducing or preventing damage to the robotic arm.
[0009] Furthermore, an extrusion block is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing plate, a hydraulic cylinder is arranged on the side of the mounting plate, one end of the hydraulic cylinder is slidably connected to a force rod via a piston, the other end of the hydraulic cylinder is slidably connected to a hydraulic rod via a piston, one end of the force rod is fixedly connected to the force plate, and one end of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to a baffle.
[0010] Furthermore, a return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning plate, and one end of the return spring away from the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate. The initial state of the return spring is a relaxed state, which reduces the risk of damage to the robotic arm when it is subjected to external impact, thereby extending the service life of the robotic arm and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
[0011] Furthermore, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning plate, and one end of the telescopic rod away from the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the initial state of the spring is a relaxed state, the number of the telescopic rods is set to two, and they are symmetrical with each other along the vertical center axis of the fixed plate. When the robotic arm is subjected to external impact or collision, the protective structure can respond quickly and effectively protect the side of the robotic arm through the baffle, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the robotic arm.
[0013] Furthermore, a compression spring is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the stress-bearing rod, and one end of the compression spring away from the stress-bearing rod is fixedly connected to the side of the hydraulic cylinder, which can reduce the risk of accidents and protect operators and the surrounding environment from potential damage and risks.
[0014] Furthermore, the initial state of the compression spring is a relaxed state, the number of the hydraulic cylinders is set to two, and they are symmetrical with each other along the vertical center axis of the fixed plate. The effective protective structure reduces the loss and wear of the robotic arm during operation, thereby extending the service life of the robotic arm and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The utility model uses the tensile force generated when the mechanical arm is working to squeeze the positioning plate and the mounting block, and cooperates with the components such as the reset spring, telescopic rod and damper in the anti-collision device, so that the reset spring offsets the effect of the vibration force by generating a reaction force opposite to the vibration direction, thereby achieving a shock absorbing effect, reducing the risk of damage to the mechanical arm when it is subjected to external impact, thereby extending the service life of the mechanical arm and reducing the cost of maintenance and replacement.
[0017] 2. The utility model achieves the effect of driving the extrusion block to move by the displacement of the positioning plate, and cooperates with the components such as the hydraulic rod, baffle plate and force plate in the anti-collision device, thereby realizing the effect of driving the baffle plate to move by the displacement of the hydraulic rod, and protecting the side of the mechanical arm by the baffle plate, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the mechanical arm. When the mechanical arm is subjected to external impact or collision, the protective structure can respond quickly and effectively protect the side of the mechanical arm through the baffle plate, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the mechanical arm.
[0018] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
