Detailed implementation

[0036] To facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. The typical embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings.

[0037] Embodiment 1:

[0038] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, an intelligent robot maintenance auxiliary device of the present invention includes an auxiliary mechanism 1. A robotic arm 2 is arranged inside the auxiliary mechanism 1. The auxiliary mechanism 1 includes a mounting base 101. First cylinders 104 are arranged on both sides of the top of the mounting base 101. A first connecting frame 105 is installed at the top of the first cylinder 104. A second connecting frame 106 is arranged at the bottom of the first connecting frame 105. A second cylinder 107 is arranged at the bottom of the second connecting frame 106; A fixture 108 is installed at the output end of the second cylinder 107. The inner sides of the fixture 108 are clamped to the joint positions on both sides of the robotic arm 2. Through the combination of the auxiliary mechanism 1 and the robotic arm 2, stable support and flexible operation of the robotic arm are achieved. Specifically, the combined setting of the mounting base 101, the first cylinder 104, the first connecting frame 105, the second connecting frame 106 and the second cylinder 107 enables the robotic arm 2 to be lifted and clamped, thus facilitating maintenance operations.

[0039] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, a reinforcing rod 109 is arranged inside the second connecting frame 106. Both ends of the reinforcing rod 109 are respectively connected to the first connecting frame 105, the second connecting frame 106 and the second cylinder 107. The reinforcing rod 109, the first connecting frame 105 and the second cylinder 107 form a triangular structure. By arranging the reinforcing rod 109 inside the second connecting frame 106 and connecting both ends thereof to the first connecting frame 105, the second connecting frame 106 and the second cylinder 107 respectively, a triangular structure is formed. This structure is more stable and can withstand greater forces, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of the entire auxiliary device.

[0040] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4As shown in the figure, the first cylinder 104 is used to lift the robotic arm 2, and the second cylinder 107 is used to drive the clamp 108 to clamp the robotic arm 2. The first cylinder 104 is used to lift the robotic arm 2 to a height convenient for maintenance; the second cylinder 107 is used to drive the clamp 108 to clamp the robotic arm 2 to ensure that the robotic arm remains stable during maintenance. Such a setting improves the convenience and safety of maintenance operations.

[0041] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 shown in the figure, a push frame 103 is provided at the rear ends of the two first cylinders 104, and a plurality of pulleys 102 are provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 101. The push frame 103 and the pulleys 102 are used to promote the movement of the auxiliary mechanism 1. By providing the push frame 103 at the rear ends of the two first cylinders 104 and a plurality of pulleys 102 at the bottom of the mounting seat 101, the auxiliary mechanism 1 can move easily to adapt to different maintenance scenarios. Such a setting improves the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.

[0042] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 shown in the figure, a sensing mechanism 3 is provided at the top of the clamp 108. The sensing mechanism 3 includes a Hall sensor 301, and the Hall sensor 301 is detachably connected to the clamp 108. By providing the sensing mechanism 3 at the top of the clamp 108 and including the Hall sensor 301, the clamping state of the clamp 108 can be monitored in real time. Such a setting improves the positioning accuracy and safety during maintenance.

[0043] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown in the figure, induction patches 302 are adhered to the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2, and the induction patches 302 are inductive with the Hall sensor 301. By adhering the induction patches 302 to the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2 and making them inductive with the Hall sensor 301, non-contact position detection is achieved. Such a setting avoids the problems of wear and inaccurate positioning that may be caused by traditional contact detection.

[0044] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown in the figure, the sensing mechanism 3 is used to drive the second cylinder 107. The sensing mechanism 3 is used to accurately ensure that the clamp 108 clamps at the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2. The sensing mechanism 3 not only drives the second cylinder 107 but also ensures that the clamp 108 can accurately clamp at the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2. Such a setting improves the accuracy and safety of the maintenance process.

[0045] Embodiment 2:

[0046] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown in the figure, a third cylinder 110 is provided at the rear end of the top of the mounting base 101, and a third connecting frame 111 is provided at the top of the third cylinder 110. By providing the third cylinder 110 at the rear end of the top of the mounting base 101 and providing the third connecting frame 111 at its top, the auxiliary mechanism 1 can provide additional supporting force for the robotic arm 2, and such a setting enhances the stability of the robotic arm during the maintenance process.

[0047] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown in the figure, a towing rope seat 112 is provided at the bottom of the third connecting frame 111, and multiple towing ropes are installed at the bottom of the towing rope seat 112. The multiple towing ropes are respectively tied to various parts of the robotic arm 2. By providing the towing rope seat 112 at the bottom of the third connecting frame 111 and installing multiple towing ropes at its bottom and tying them to various parts of the robotic arm 2 respectively, such a setting enables the robotic arm 2 to be firmly tied to the auxiliary mechanism 1 during the maintenance process, preventing the robotic arm from falling due to unexpected situations.

[0048] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown in the figure, the third cylinder 110, the towing rope seat 112 and the towing ropes are used to prevent the robotic arm 2 from falling. Through the combination of the third cylinder 110, the towing rope seat 112 and the towing ropes, a multiple safety protection system is formed. This system provides both pneumatic support and physical restraint, ensuring the absolute safety of the robotic arm 2 during the maintenance process and providing a safer working environment for the maintenance personnel.

[0049] During implementation, first, the robotic arm 2 needs to be placed at the preset position of the auxiliary mechanism 1 to ensure that the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2 are aligned with the fixture 108. Then, through the combination of the pushing frame 103 and the pulley 102, the auxiliary mechanism 1 can be easily moved to adapt to different maintenance scenarios;

[0050] At this time, the first cylinder 104 can be started first to lift the robotic arm 2 to an appropriate height for maintenance operations. Then, when the robotic arm 2 is lifted to an appropriate position, the second cylinder 107 is started to drive the fixture 108 to clamp the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2. The setting inside the fixture 108 can ensure a tight connection with the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2 to provide stable support. At the same time, the sensing mechanism 3 starts to work. The Hall sensor 301 senses the induction patch 302 at the joints on both sides of the robotic arm 2 to achieve real-time monitoring. The sensing mechanism 3 can accurately detect the relative position or state between the fixture 108 and the robotic arm 2, improving the positioning accuracy and safety during the maintenance process;

[0051] After that, the third cylinder 110 is started, and the supporting force is transmitted to the robotic arm 2 through the third connecting frame 111, enhancing the stability of the robotic arm during the maintenance process. Multiple towing ropes at the bottom of the towing rope seat 112 are respectively tied to various parts of the robotic arm 2, providing additional physical restraint. This setting further prevents the robotic arm 2 from falling due to unexpected situations during the maintenance process, improving the safety of the maintenance process. After the maintenance is completed, first release the clamping of the robotic arm 2 by the fixture 108, and then lower the first cylinder 104 to place the robotic arm 2 back in place or on the intelligent vehicle.

[0052] The advantages of this technical solution in practical applications include but are not limited to the following points:

[0053] 1. By setting up the auxiliary mechanism, the combination of the first cylinder with the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame enables the robotic arm to be maintained at different heights.

[0054] 2. The coordinated operation of the second cylinder and the fixture ensures the stability of the robotic arm during the maintenance process. At the same time, the cooperation of the induction patch and the Hall sensor realizes non-contact position detection, improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.

[0055] 3. The setting of the strengthening rod strengthens the connection between various components, improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire auxiliary device, and reduces the need for complex maintenance.

[0056] 4. By setting up the push frame, pulleys, etc., the moving ability of the auxiliary mechanism is significantly improved, enabling it to better adapt to various maintenance scenarios.
