[0025] Embodiment 1:
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a power structure for a robot wrist joint, including a robot base 1, a motor 2 is fixedly installed on the right side of the robot base 1, a rotating shaft 3 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 2, two retaining rings 4 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 3, lubricating mechanisms 5 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the robot base 1, and a collecting mechanism 6 is arranged inside the lubricating mechanism 5.
[0027] Furthermore, the lubricating mechanism 5 includes two oil storage tanks 51, the two oil storage tanks 51 are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the robot base 1, a blanking port 52 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the oil storage tank 51, oil retaining frames 53 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the robot base 1, an oil inlet groove 54 is opened inside the robot base 1, two functional rings 55 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 3, a stop oil groove 56 is opened inside the functional ring 55, two spring A 57 are fixedly installed inside the oil storage tank 51, lifting blocks 58 are fixedly installed at the ends of the two spring A 57 away from the oil storage tank 51, a connecting column 59 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting block 58 on the same side away from the robot base 1, a roller 510 is movably installed inside the connecting column 59, a sliding column 511 is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting block 58, and a baffle 512 is fixedly installed at the top of the sliding column 511. When the baffle 512 blocks the rectangular groove, the lubricating oil no longer flows downward.
[0028] Furthermore, rectangular grooves are opened at the corresponding positions of the oil storage tank 51 and the blanking port 52, the baffle 512 is arranged directly above the rectangular groove, the sliding column 511 is slidably installed inside the oil storage tank 51, and the lifting block 58 is slidably installed inside the oil storage tank 51 to drive the sliding column 511 to lift.
[0029] Furthermore, the roller 510 is movably installed on the outside of the functional ring 55, both retaining rings 4 are arranged inside the robot base 1, there is an oil storage gap between the rotating shaft 3 and the oil retaining frame 53, the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably installed inside the robot base 1, and the oil inlet groove 54 is arranged below the rotating shaft 3. When the rectangular groove is exposed, the lubricating oil inside the oil storage tank 51 falls into the blanking port 52 through the rectangular groove.
[0030] Embodiment 2:
[0031] Please refer to Figure 5 and in combination with Embodiment 1, it is further obtained that the collection mechanism 6 includes an oil drain groove 61. The oil drain groove 61 is arranged inside the oil retaining frame 53. A collection drawer 62 is slidably installed inside the oil retaining frame 53. A convex block 63 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the oil retaining frame 53. A spring B64 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the convex block 63. One end of the spring B64 away from the convex block 63 is fixedly installed with a limiting piece 65. A plug post 66 is fixedly installed inside the limiting piece 65 to position and install the collection drawer 62.
[0032] Furthermore, the plug post 66 is slidably installed inside the convex block 63. The plug post 66 passes through the oil retaining frame 53 and is inserted into the collection drawer 62 to install the collection drawer 62.
[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the limiting piece 65 is in contact with the oil retaining frame 53. The top height of the oil drain groove 61 is higher than the bottom height of the rotating shaft 3, so that the lubricating oil can flow into the inside of the oil inlet groove 54 through the oil storage gap to lubricate the part of the rotating shaft 3 rotating inside the robot base 1.
[0034] During the actual operation process, when this device is in use, when the motor 2 is started to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 3, thereby driving the rotation of the wrist joint, the rotating shaft 3 drives the rotation of the function ring 55, causing the roller 510 to move out of the oil stop groove 56 and move on the rest of the outside of the function ring 55, causing the connecting column 59 to rise and drive the lifting block 58 to rise, causing the sliding column 511 to drive the baffle 512 to move upward, exposing the rectangular groove. At this time, the spring A57 is compressed. The spring A57 is initially in a stretched state, causing the lubricating oil inside the oil storage tank 51 to fall into the blanking port 52 through the rectangular groove, and then fall to the outside of the rotating shaft 3 for lubrication. The excess lubricating oil falls into the inside of the oil baffle 53 and flows through the oil storage gap between the oil baffle 53 and the rotating shaft 3. Since the lubricating oil is in a fluid state, it flows into the inside of the oil inlet groove 54. Under the action of the oil inlet groove 54, the lubricating oil can lubricate the part of the rotating shaft 3 rotating inside the robot base 1, reducing the friction between the rotating shaft 3 and the robot base 1, thereby protecting the rotating shaft 3 and the robot base 1, making the joint rotate more smoothly, and increasing the service life of the device. The retaining ring 4 is arranged inside the robot base 1 to intercept the lubricating oil and prevent it from flowing into the inside of the robot base 1 from the oil inlet groove 54 and causing waste. When the device is continuously used and the lubricating oil in the oil baffle 53 accumulates more and more, the height of the oil increases until it reaches the height of the oil drain groove 61. At this time, the excess lubricating fluid flowing into the inside of the oil baffle 53 subsequently falls into the inside of the collection drawer 62 under the guiding action of the oil drain groove 61 for collection. When the device stops running, the motor 2 can be controlled to drive the oil stop groove 56 to correspond to the roller 510 again, causing the spring A57 to rebound and drive the baffle 512 to block the rectangular groove, preventing the lubricating oil from flowing downward. At this time, the insertion post 66 can be pulled up to be separated from the inside of the collection drawer 62, and the collection drawer 62 can be pulled out to take out the internal lubricating oil, which can be reused after treatment, saving resources. The spring B64 is initially in a stretched state.
[0035] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to this process, method, article or device.
