[0022] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a four-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm joint lubrication device, including a first mechanical arm 1, a second mechanical arm 2 is provided on one side of the first mechanical arm 1, a rotating shaft 3 is provided on one side of the second mechanical arm 2, a third mechanical arm 4 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 3, a mounting groove 5 is provided inside the rotating shaft 3, an arc block 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 5, a rotating column 21 is provided inside the mounting groove 5, an oil box 6 is provided inside the rotating column 21, adjustment grooves 7 are provided at both ends of the rotating column 21, and a through hole 8 is provided at the bottom of the adjusting groove 7 , a push block 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the through hole 8, and a plug rod 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the push block 9 close to the oil box 6. Sockets 19 are provided on both sides of the oil box 6. The staff rotates the rotating column 21 so that the rotating column 21 drives the push block 9 to move and makes the push block 9 contact with the arc block 20. When the push block 9 moves to the thicker end of the arc block 20, the arc block 20 squeezes the push block 9 and drives the plug rod 10 to be inserted into the socket 19 for fixation. Through the above arrangement, the staff can add or replace the oil box 6, thereby achieving long-term lubrication of the equipment.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: the size of the rod 10 is adapted to the size of the socket 19, and the surface of the rod 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the socket 19. By making the size of the rod 10 adapted to the size of the socket 19, the smooth movement of the component rod 10 inside the component socket 19 is ensured, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the entire device. In addition, this design also allows the component rod 10 to remain stable when subjected to external force, reducing wear caused by friction.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: slide grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the adjusting groove 7, and sliders 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the push block 9. The surface of the slider 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 12. When the staff moves the push block 9, the push block 9 drives the slider 11 to slide inside the slide groove 12. Through the above arrangement, precise control of the push block 9 is achieved. In addition, the sliding fit design between the slider 11 and the slide groove 12 ensures smooth operation, reduces friction, and thus extends the service life of the equipment.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: the bottom of the push block 9 is fixedly connected with a force storage spring 13, and the bottom of the force storage spring 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end inside the adjusting groove 7, and makes the push block 9 contact the arc block 20. When the push block 9 moves to the thicker end of the arc block 20, the arc block 20 squeezes the push block 9, and the push block 9 squeezes the force storage spring 13 to compress and store force. When the staff moves the push block 9 to the thinner end of the arc block 20, the force storage spring 13 quickly pushes the push block 9 out under the action of the rebound force, and drives the insertion rod 10 to release the limit between it and the socket 19, so that the staff can install and disassemble it.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: the side of the rotating column 21 close to the interior of the oil box 6 is fixedly connected with the sealing gasket 14. The setting of the rotating column 21 close to the interior of the oil box 6 is fixedly connected with the sealing gasket 14, which ensures that a sealing area is formed between the rotating column 21 and the oil box 6, effectively preventing the leakage of liquid or gas. In addition, the material selection and design of the sealing gasket 14 take into account corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance to meet the requirements of different working environments.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: the inner wall of the mounting groove 5 is fixedly connected with an annular block 15, and an annular groove 16 is provided on the surface of the rotating column 21. When the staff rotates the rotating column 21, the rotating column 21 rotates along the trajectory of the annular block 15. Through the above arrangement, it can be ensured that the rotation of the rotating column 21 is smoother, and the noise and wear caused by friction are reduced. In addition, the arrangement of the annular groove 16 enables the rotating column 21 to fit closely with the annular block 15 during the rotation process, thereby improving the stability and service life of the overall structure.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: thread grooves 18 are provided at both ends of the rotating column 21, the front end of the rotating shaft joint 3 is fixedly connected to the outer ring block 22, and the inner part of the outer ring block 22 is rotatably connected to the threaded rod 17. In order to prevent the position of the rotating column 21 from shifting when the equipment is in operation, the staff rotates the threaded rod 17 so that the threaded rod 17 is rotated into the threaded groove 18 for fixation, thereby fixing the position of the rotating column 21.

[0029] Working principle: The staff rotates the rotating column 21, so that the rotating column 21 drives the push block 9 to move, and makes the push block 9 contact with the arc block 20. When the push block 9 moves to the thicker end of the arc block 20, the arc block 20 squeezes the push block 9 and drives the plug rod 10 to be inserted into the socket 19 for fixation. Through the above setting, the staff can add or replace the oil box 6, thereby achieving long-term lubrication of the equipment. By matching the size of the plug rod 10 with the size of the socket 19, the smooth movement of the component plug rod 10 inside the component socket 19 is ensured, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the entire device. In addition, this design also allows the component insertion rod 10 to remain stable when subjected to external force, reducing wear caused by friction. When the staff moves the push block 9, the push block 9 drives the slider 11 to slide inside the slide groove 12. Through the above arrangement, precise control of the push block 9 is achieved. In addition, the sliding fit design between the slider 11 and the slide groove 12 ensures smooth operation and reduces friction, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and making the push block 9 contact with the arc block 20. When the push block 9 moves to the thicker end of the arc block 20, the arc block 20 squeezes the push block 9. , the push block 9 squeezes the storage spring 13 to compress and store force. When the staff moves the push block 9 to the thinner end of the arc block 20, the storage spring 13 quickly pushes the push block 9 out under the action of the rebound force, and drives the insertion rod 10 to release the limit between it and the socket 19, so that the staff can install and disassemble it. The side of the rotating column 21 close to the inside of the oil box 6 is fixedly connected with the setting of the sealing gasket 14, which ensures that a sealing area is formed between the rotating column 21 and the oil box 6, effectively preventing the leakage of liquid or gas. In addition, the material selection and design of the sealing gasket 14 take into account corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance to adapt to different working conditions. In accordance with the requirements of the working environment, when the staff rotates the rotating column 21, the rotating column 21 rotates along the trajectory of the annular block 15. Through the above arrangement, it can be ensured that the rotation of the rotating column 21 is smoother, and the noise and wear caused by friction are reduced. In addition, the arrangement of the annular groove 16 enables the rotating column 21 to fit closely with the annular block 15 during the rotation process, thereby improving the stability and service life of the overall structure. In order to avoid the position of the rotating column 21 from shifting when the equipment is in operation, the staff rotates the threaded rod 17 so that the threaded rod 17 is rotated into the threaded groove 18 for fixation, thereby fixing the position of the rotating column 21.
