Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of industrial robots, in particular to a telescopic shaft of an industrial robot. Background Art

[0002] Industrial robots can perform various tasks according to pre-programmed procedures, replacing heavy human labor and achieving mechanization and automation in production. Industrial robots consist of a robotic arm and an end effector (e.g., a welding torch, a spray gun, or a clamp) mounted on the wrist at the front end of the robotic arm.

[0003] Chinese Patent No.: CN220389435U A telescopic shaft for an industrial robot includes a robot body, the robot body comprising a main chassis, a large arm rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the main chassis, and a small arm rotatably mounted at the free end of the large arm. The small arm is rotatably mounted with a support plate away from the free end of the large arm, and a telescopic shaft body is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the support plate. The telescopic shaft body also has a telescopic positioning assembly on its periphery that can position itself during extension and retraction. The telescopic positioning assembly includes positioning rods symmetrically arranged on both sides of the telescopic shaft body and capable of retracting and retracting as the telescopic shaft body retracts and retracts. Each positioning rod is also provided with a removable end cap at one end. This industrial robot telescopic shaft can improve the telescopic stability of the telescopic shaft body, prevent the telescopic shaft body from tilting or even breaking due to the gravity of a heavy object during operation, and thus increase the service life of the telescopic shaft body.

[0004] However, industrial robots are usually used in factory production workshops. During the processing and use, dust and oil in the workshop can easily adhere to the surface of the telescopic shaft and the telescopic free shaft. If they are not cleaned in time, it will not only affect the normal extension and retraction of the telescopic free shaft, but also easily cause damage to the telescopic shaft and the telescopic free shaft over a long period of time.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a telescopic shaft of an industrial robot. Utility Model Content

[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0023] 1. The protective assembly consists of two symmetrical first protective covers and a second protective cover. When the telescopic free shaft extends outward, the protective assembly composed of the first protective cover and the second protective cover will also move synchronously away from the telescopic shaft body, which can not only prevent the telescopic free shaft from bending or breaking, but also always shield and protect the telescopic free shaft to prevent dust and oil from adhering to the surface of the telescopic free shaft. When the telescopic free shaft retracts, the protective assembly will move back and wrap around the outer surface of the telescopic shaft. During the movement of the protective assembly, the cleaning cotton can clean the surface of the telescopic shaft body to prevent dust and oil from adhering to the surface of the telescopic shaft body.

When When the telescopic free shaft 4 extends outward, the protective assembly 6 composed of the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 will also move synchronously away from the telescopic shaft body 2, which can not only prevent the telescopic free shaft 4 from bending or breaking, but also can always shield and protect the telescopic free shaft 4 to prevent dust and oil from adhering to the surface of the telescopic free shaft 4. When the telescopic free shaft 4 retracts, the protective assembly 6 will move back and wrap around the outer surface of the telescopic shaft body 2. During the movement of the protective assembly 6, the cleaning cotton 64 can clean the surface of the telescopic shaft body 2 to prevent dust and oil from adhering to the surface of the telescopic shaft body 2, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0035] Preferably, a positioning hole 41 is formed at intervals on the surface of one end of the telescopic free shaft 4 close to the T-shaped connecting support 5 .

[0036] It is convenient to quickly position the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 when they are installed, which not only allows the first protective cover 61 to be quickly aligned with the second protective cover 62, but also allows the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 to be in close contact with one end of the telescopic free shaft 4.

[0037] Preferably, a positioning protrusion 631 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the fixing hole 63.

[0038] When the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 are installed, the positioning protrusion 631 can be first inserted into the positioning hole 41 to facilitate rapid positioning and installation of the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 .

[0039] Preferably, the fixing hole 63 is a semicircular structure, and the diameter of the fixing hole 63 is smaller than the opening diameter of the other end of the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 .

At this time, the connecting plug 622 will also be inserted into the connecting groove 612. When the connecting plug 622 is inserted, the limit plate 623 can be driven to retract into the inner cavity of the connecting plug 622 through the anti-pull-off plate 624. At this time, the buffer spring 625 will be squeezed and deformed. When the anti-pull-off plate 624 is released, the buffer spring 625 will rebound the limit plate 623 outward, so that the limit plate 623 extends from both sides of the connecting plug 622. At this time, the connecting plug 622 will not be able to separate from the connecting groove 612. When disassembly is required, it is only necessary to retract the limit plate 623 into the inside of the connecting plug 622 again, and then separate the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62.

[0047] The use process of the present invention is as follows: the protective assembly 6 is composed of two symmetrical first protective covers 61 and second protective covers 62. When the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 are connected, the lugs A611 and lugs B621 at the four corners of the two will fit together. At this time, the connecting plug 622 will also be inserted into the connecting groove 612, and the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 can be inserted into the positioning hole 41 by using the positioning protrusion 631 for positioning. When the connecting plug 622 is inserted, the limiting plate 623 can be driven to retract into the inner cavity of the connecting plug 622 through the anti-pull-off plate 624. At this time, the buffer spring 625 will be squeezed and deformed. When the anti-pull-off plate 624 is released, the buffer spring 625 will rebound the limit plate 623 outward, so that the limit plate 623 extends from both sides of the connecting block 622. At this time, the connecting block 622 will not be able to separate from the connecting groove 612. When the telescopic free shaft 4 extends outward, the protective assembly 6 composed of the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62 will also move synchronously away from the telescopic shaft body 2. When the telescopic free shaft 4 retracts, the protective assembly 6 will move back and wrap around the outer surface of the telescopic shaft body 2. During the movement of the protective assembly 6, the cleaning cotton 64 can clean the surface of the telescopic shaft body 2. When disassembly is required, just retract the limit plate 623 into the inside of the connecting block 622 again, and then separate the first protective cover 61 and the second protective cover 62.
