Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a rotating mechanism, in particular to a clamping arm rotating mechanism, belonging to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing. Background Technique
[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing, clamping arms are generally widely used as fixtures or robotic arms. A fixture is a device for fixing a processing object, while a robotic arm is an automatic operating device that can imitate some action functions of a human hand and arm to grasp, transport objects or operate tools according to a fixed program.
[0003] In these devices, the clamping arm usually refers to the opening of the clamping part of the fixture or robotic arm to clamp or release the workpiece. The opening and closing of the clamping arm are generally realized by the rotation of the rotating shaft of the clamping arm. In order to reduce the friction between the clamping arm and the rotating shaft, a rotating mechanism is arranged between the clamping arm and the rotating shaft. The rotating mechanism generally adopts the method of bearings and support frames. The clamping arm can rotate on the support frame through the bearings. However, when the existing bearings are installed, washers are generally arranged on both sides to limit their positions. However, the bearing is divided into an outer ring and an inner ring. When the outer ring rotates relative to the inner ring, it still rubs against the washers, which is prone to wear or displacement. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a clamping arm rotating mechanism to solve the above problems. By setting an intermediate flat washer, a thrust washer and a positioning washer, and a first rotating ring is arranged on the outer ring of the thrust washer and a second rotating ring is arranged on the outer ring of the positioning washer, an effective positioning effect can be achieved on the two bearings, so that when the clamping jaw and the connecting shaft rotate, there will be no vertical displacement relative to the rotating fixed seat. At the same time, when the outer rotating ring rotates relative to the fixed inner ring through a plurality of balls, the first rotating ring on the outer ring of the thrust washer and the second rotating ring on the outer ring of the positioning washer can rotate along with the outer rotating rings on both sides, and the other side of the second rotating ring does not contact the rotating fixed seat, so that the friction can be reduced, the wear can be reduced, and the service life of the rotating mechanism can be improved.
[0005] The utility model realizes the above purpose through the following technical solutions. A clamping arm rotating mechanism includes a rotating fixed seat. The rotating fixed seat is provided with a plurality of through mounting holes. The mounting holes are connected with a rotating structure, and the rotating fixed seat is connected with a clamping jaw through the rotating structure. A shaft hole is opened at the end of the clamping jaw;
[0006] The rotating structure includes a connecting shaft and a rotating part. The rotating part is sleeved at the end of the connecting shaft, and the outer side of the rotating part is attached to the inner wall of the shaft hole.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating member includes an intermediate flat washer, a thrust washer, and a positioning washer. Bearings are provided between the intermediate flat washer and the thrust washer, and between the intermediate flat washer and the positioning washer. The other sides of the thrust washer and the positioning washer are respectively in close contact with the end of the connecting shaft and the rotating fixed seat.
[0008] Preferably, the bearing includes a fixed inner ring and a rotating outer ring. The inner wall of the fixed inner ring fits against the outer side of the connecting shaft, and the rotating outer ring is located outside the fixed inner ring. The outer ring of the rotating outer ring is in interference fit with the inner wall of the shaft hole.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of balls are provided between the fixed inner ring and the rotating outer ring.
[0010] Preferably, a first rotating ring is provided on the outer ring of the thrust washer. A first positioning ring is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the first rotating ring, and the first positioning ring is rotatably arranged inside the first rotating ring.
[0011] Preferably, the side surface of the first rotating ring is in close contact with one of the rotating outer rings.
[0012] Preferably, a second rotating ring is provided on the outer ring of the positioning washer. A second positioning ring is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the second rotating ring, and the second positioning ring is rotatably arranged inside the second rotating ring.
[0013] Preferably, one side of the second rotating ring is in close contact with the other rotating outer ring, and the other side of the second rotating ring is not in contact with the rotating fixed seat.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: During use, by using the provided intermediate flat washer, thrust washer, and positioning washer, and with a first rotating ring provided on the outer ring of the thrust washer and a second rotating ring provided on the outer ring of the positioning washer, effective positioning of the two bearings can be achieved. As a result, when the gripper and the connecting shaft rotate, vertical displacement relative to the rotating fixed seat will not occur. At the same time, when the rotating outer ring rotates relative to the fixed inner ring through a plurality of balls, the first rotating ring on the outer ring of the thrust washer and the second rotating ring on the outer ring of the positioning washer can rotate along with the rotating outer rings on both sides. Since the other side of the second rotating ring is not in contact with the rotating fixed seat, the friction can be reduced, wear can be minimized, and the service life of the rotating mechanism can be improved.
