Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a flange for connecting robots. Background Art

[0002] Robot connection flanges are a common connection method, mainly used to connect robots to tools, end effectors or other equipment. Flange connections provide a stable and reliable mechanical interface, allowing robots to precisely manipulate and transmit force. The types of robot flanges can vary depending on different robot models and application requirements. Some common flange types include: Standard flanges: Universal design that can be connected to many different types of tools and equipment. Special flanges: Flanges designed for specific applications or specific tools, which may have special interfaces or functions. Robot connection flanges are widely used in various industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing scenarios. Assembly lines: On assembly lines, robots use flanges to connect different tools and end effectors to complete various assembly tasks. Material handling: Robots use flanges to connect fixtures or suction cups to grasp and move materials. Welding and spraying: In welding or spraying applications, robots use flanges to connect welding guns or spray guns to achieve automated operations.

[0003] When using the robot connection flange, flexible assembly is required. However, we consider that the connection points of the traditional robot connection flanges are all fixed installations. Although stability can be guaranteed, the lack of flexible installation effect brings great inconvenience to the installation. Therefore, a robot connection flange is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a robot connection flange, which solves the problem that the connection points of the robot connection flanges in the prior art are all fixedly installed, which can ensure stability but lacks the effect of flexible installation, thus causing great inconvenience to installation.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A robot connection flange includes a frame, an inner side of the frame is rotatably connected to a load-bearing rod, and both sides of the load-bearing rod are fixedly connected to flanges, and the two flanges are vertically distributed. A limit rod is provided on the inner side of the frame, and the top of the limit rod passes through the top of the frame. One end of the load-bearing rod is provided with a plurality of slots for use with the limit rod, and the top of the limit rod is elastically connected to the top of the frame.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the carrying rod is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0008] Preferably, one side of the two flanges is fixedly connected to a side plate, and fixing rods are embedded on both sides of the top of the side plate.

[0009] Preferably, a pull plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the limiting rod.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the bearing rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame through a rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a tension spring is sleeved on the upper portion of the limiting rod, and the bottom of the pull plate is elastically connected to the top of the frame through the tension spring.

[0012] The utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] When the robot connection flange of the present invention is used, the frame and the robot workpiece are first installed as required, and then the angles of the two flanges are adjusted according to the flange positions to be installed, and the load-bearing rod is rotated manually until the two flanges are located at the specified angle, and finally the bottom end of the limit rod is plugged into a corresponding slot on the load-bearing rod to limit the load-bearing rod and the two flanges. Compared with the robot connection flange in the prior art, the connection points are all fixedly installed, although stability can be guaranteed, but the flexible installation effect is lacking, which brings great inconvenience to the installation. The method proposed in the utility model manually rotates the load-bearing rod until the two flanges are located at the specified angle, and finally the bottom end of the limit rod is plugged into a corresponding slot on the load-bearing rod, so that the angles of the two flanges can be adjusted as required, which has high practicality and is more flexible.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 , a robot connection flange, including a frame body 1, a load-bearing rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame body 1, and flanges 3 are fixedly connected on both sides of the load-bearing rod 2, and the two flanges 3 are vertically distributed, and a limit rod 6 is provided on the inner side of the frame body 1, and the top of the limit rod 6 passes through the top of the frame body 1, and one end of the load-bearing rod 2 is provided with a plurality of slots 9 for use with the limit rod 6, and the top of the limit rod 6 is elastically connected to the top of the frame body 1. Specifically, the load-bearing rod 2 is manually rotated until the two flanges 3 are at a specified angle, and finally the bottom end of the limit rod 6 is plugged into a corresponding slot 9 on the load-bearing rod 2, so that the angles of the two flanges 3 can be adjusted as needed, which is highly practical and more flexible.

[0023] This program has the following working process:

[0024] When the robot connection flange of the utility model is used, the frame 1 and the robot workpiece are first installed as required, and then the angles of the two flanges 3 are adjusted according to the positions of the flanges 3 to be installed, and the bearing rod 2 is rotated manually until the two flanges 3 are located at the specified angle, and finally the bottom end of the limiting rod 6 is plugged into a corresponding slot 9 on the bearing rod 2 to limit the bearing rod 2 and the two flanges 3.

[0025] According to the above working process, we can know that:

[0026] The load-bearing rod 2 is manually rotated until the two flanges 3 are at the specified angle, and finally the bottom end of the limiting rod 6 is plugged into a corresponding slot 9 on the load-bearing rod 2, so that the angle of the two flanges 3 can be adjusted as needed, which is highly practical and more flexible.

[0027] Furthermore, a handle 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the load-bearing rod 2 . Specifically, the handle 10 can be used to facilitate the stability of the load-bearing rod 2 .

[0028] Furthermore, one side of the two flanges 3 is fixedly connected to a side plate 4 , and fixing rods 5 are embedded on both sides of the top of the side plate 4 . Specifically, the flanges 3 can be further installed using the fixing rods 5 on the side plate 4 .

[0029] Furthermore, a pull plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top end of the limiting rod 6 .

[0030] Furthermore, one end of the supporting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 via a rotating shaft.

[0031] Furthermore, a tension spring 8 is sleeved on the upper portion of the limiting rod 6, and the bottom of the pull plate 7 is elastically connected to the top of the frame 1 through the tension spring 8. Specifically, the tension spring 8 can provide the limiting rod 6 with a certain elastic extrusion effect.

[0032] In summary: the handle 10 can facilitate the stability of the load-bearing rod 2, the fixing rod 5 on the side plate 4 can be used to further install the flange 3, and the tension spring 8 can make the limiting rod 6 have a certain elastic squeezing effect.
