DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3, the present utility model provides a technical solution for a finger structural member of a robotic arm:

[0020] According to Figures 1 - 3 As shown, it includes a finger housing 1 and a connecting seat 2. The connecting seat 2 is nested with the finger housing 1. A wear-resistant part 3 is fixedly bonded to the end of the finger housing 1. An oil storage cavity 8 is formed inside the connecting seat 2. An articulated groove 9 is formed at one end of the connecting seat 2. An oil seepage component is arranged between the articulated groove 9 and the oil storage cavity 8.

[0021] Specifically, the cooperation of the oil storage cavity 8 and the oil seepage component arranged inside the connecting seat 2 can lubricate the connecting part of the finger, reduce the wear of the robotic arm finger during continuous movement, and improve the service life.

[0022] According to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rectangular groove 6 is formed at the other end of the connecting seat 2. Positioning columns 5 are inserted through both sides of the rectangular groove 6. A first return spring 7 is fixedly installed between the two positioning columns 5. A plurality of assembly holes 4 are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the inner arm of the finger housing 1. The two positioning columns 5 are inserted through the corresponding assembly holes 4.

[0023] Specifically, by inserting the positioning columns 5 through the corresponding assembly holes 4, the length adjustment of the finger can be realized.

[0024] According to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the oil seepage component includes an oil seepage block 10 and an oil passage 12. An oil passage 12 is formed between the articulated groove 9 and the oil storage cavity 8. An oil seepage block 10 is fixedly installed at the connection of the oil passage 12 and the oil storage cavity 8. Uniformly distributed capillary holes 11 are formed on the surface of the oil seepage block 10.

[0025] A frustum-shaped oil storage cavity 13 is formed in the middle of the oil passage 12. A frustum-shaped plugging block 16 is nested inside the frustum-shaped oil storage cavity 13. A second return spring 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the frustum-shaped plugging block 16. One end of the second return spring 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frustum-shaped oil storage cavity 13.

[0026] The center of the other end of the frustum-shaped plugging block 16 is fixedly connected with a convex block 15. One end of the convex block 15 passes through the oil passage 12 and extends into the articulated groove 9.

[0027] Specifically, through the cooperation of the convex block 15, the frustum-shaped plugging block 16 and the second return spring 14, when the convex block 15 moves, a gap will be generated between the frustum-shaped plugging block 16 and the frustum-shaped oil storage cavity 13, so that the lubricating oil flows into the articulated groove 9 to lubricate the articulated part of the finger and reduce the wear of the articulated part during movement.

[0028] An oil injection hole is provided on one side of the oil storage cavity 8, and a sealing plug is nested inside the oil injection hole.

[0029] Specifically, by providing the oil injection hole, it is convenient to regularly inject lubricating oil into the interior of the oil storage cavity 8.

[0030] Working principle: For a finger structure member of a robotic arm in the present utility model, when the robotic arm is used for gripping an object, first, the length of the finger is adjusted according to the object to be gripped. Manually press the positioning post 5 into the interior of the rectangular groove 6, and then adjust the depth of insertion of the connecting seat 2 into the finger housing 1 according to requirements, and ensure that the positioning post 5 is aligned with the assembly hole 4. Then, the first return spring 7 is used to push the positioning post 5 to penetrate through the assembly hole 4 to complete the adjustment of the finger length.

[0031] During the process of the finger gripping and rotating an object, when the hinge seat on the rotating surface pushes the convex block 15 to contract, the contraction of the convex block 15 drives the conical plug 16 to move, creating a gap between the conical plug 16 and the conical oil storage cavity 13. The lubricating oil flows out through the gap, which can lubricate the hinge part of the finger, reduce the wear during the long-term movement of the finger, and improve the lifespan of the finger.
