[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a robotic arm structure that is easy to lubricate, including a base 1, a robotic arm body 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, a grease tank 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, an oil inlet pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the grease tank 3, the upper end of the oil inlet pipe 4 is threadedly connected with a sealing cover 5, a semi-circular groove 6 is opened on the outer surface of the sealing cover 5, a conveying pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the grease tank 3, an oil injection head 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the conveying pipe 7, a partition plate 9 is fixedly installed inside the grease tank 3, a driving motor 10 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the grease tank 3, the output end of the driving motor 10 is fixedly connected with a threaded rod 11, a bearing 12 is fixedly installed inside the grease tank 3, a pressing plate 13 is slidably connected inside the grease tank 3, a sliding rod 14 is fixedly installed inside the grease tank 3, and an oil receiving head 15 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the robotic arm body 2.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the threaded rod 11 is threadedly connected with the pressing plate 13. By rotating the threaded rod 11, the pressing plate 13 moves up and down, thereby pushing and squeezing the grease inside the grease tank 3. The threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected with the bearing 12, and the rotation of the threaded rod 11 is made smoother through the bearing 12. The sliding rod 14 is slidably connected with the pressing plate 13, and the movement of the pressing plate 13 is made more stable through the sliding rod 14.

[0026] Embodiment 2

[0027] Please refer to Figures 4-5, a base plate 16 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the robotic arm body 2. A first clamping block 17 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 16. Limiting rods 18 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 16. Tensile springs 19 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 16. One end of the tensile spring 19 is fixedly installed with a top plate 20. A second clamping block 21 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the top plate 20. The base plate 16 and the top plate 20 are connected by the tensile spring 19. Through the tensile spring 19, the first clamping block 17 and the second clamping block 21 can firmly clamp the oil injection head 8. The limiting rod 18 is slidably connected with the top plate 20. A pull ring 22 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top plate 20. Through the limiting rod 18 and the pull ring 22, it is convenient for maintenance personnel to pull the top plate 20, and at the same time, it will be more stable during the process of pulling the top plate 20.

[0028] Working principle: When maintenance personnel need to lubricate the robotic arm body 2, first remove the delivery pipe 7 connected to the side of the grease box 3, and then connect the oil injection head 8 installed at one end of the delivery pipe 7 to the oil receiving head 15 installed on the robotic arm body 2. When connecting, first grasp the pull ring 22 and pull it upward. The pull ring 22 will drive the top plate 20 and the first clamping block 17 to move upward. At the same time, the limiting rod 18 will slide inside the top plate 20, and the tensile spring 19 will be stretched. The limiting rod 18 makes it more stable for maintenance personnel to pull the top plate 20. After connecting, release the pull ring 22. At this time, the top plate 20 will automatically reset under the action of the tensile spring 19, so that the first clamping block 17 installed at the lower end of the top plate 20 moves downward, and the first clamping block 17 will closely adhere to the surface of the oil injection head 8. The first clamping block 17 and the second clamping block 21 installed at the upper end of the base plate 16 can clamp the oil injection head 8, avoiding the accidental detachment of the oil injection head 8 during the process of delivering grease. Then start the drive motor 10. At this time, the threaded rod 11 will rotate, so that the pressing plate 13 moves downward. The pressing plate 13 will push and extrude the grease inside the grease box 3. At the same time, the sliding rod 14 will slide inside the pressing plate 13. The sliding rod 14 makes the pressing plate 13 more stable during the process of pushing and extruding downward. The extruded grease will be delivered to the inside of the robotic arm structure through the delivery pipe 7 and the oil injection head 8 to achieve lubrication, so that maintenance personnel do not need to manually pump out grease to lubricate the robotic arm structure, greatly saving manpower and physical strength, making it easier and more convenient for maintenance personnel to lubricate the robotic arm structure. When the grease inside the grease box 3 is insufficient, maintenance personnel can fill the grease inside the grease box 3 through the oil inlet pipe 4.

[0029] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model in other forms. Any person skilled in the relevant art may use the technical content disclosed above to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
