When processing workpieces with complex shapes, the joint resistance can be adjusted according to the contour of the workpiece, so that the robot can perform thread rolling operations more smoothly.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As described above, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application effectively solves the problem that during the existing thread rolling work, the resistance between each joint of the robot is the same, the movement mode of the robot during the thread rolling work will be relatively simple, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust according to different work scenes and workpiece shapes. The robot may not be able to accurately control the movement amplitude and speed of each joint during the thread rolling operation, which may lead to inconsistent technical problems such as the depth and pitch of the thread rolling. The overall idea is as follows: A four-axis joint robot based on thread rolling technology includes a base 1, and the base 1 is provided with an adjustment mechanism for facilitating the adjustment of resistance. The four-axis joint robot is usually composed of multiple joints and can achieve flexible movement in multiple directions. Each joint is composed of a motor, a reducer and a transmission mechanism to accurately control the position and posture of the robot. A certain resistance can be set at the joints of some robotic arms. Appropriate resistance can increase the stability of the robotic arm during movement. When the robotic arm moves quickly or bears external loads, the resistance at the joints can prevent excessive shaking or unstable movement of the joints;

[0024] The adjustment mechanism includes a first mechanical axis 2, a second mechanical axis 3, a third mechanical axis 4, a fourth mechanical axis 5 and a thread rolling mechanism 6. The first mechanical axis 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base 1, and the thread rolling mechanism 6 is fixedly mounted on the side end of the fourth mechanical axis 5. The upper ends of the first mechanical axis 2, the second mechanical axis 3, the third mechanical axis 4 and the fourth mechanical axis 5 are fixedly mounted with an arc plate 21, and the lower ends of the second mechanical axis 3, the third mechanical axis 4 and the fourth mechanical axis 5 are fixedly mounted with two receiving seats 31. A rotating circular groove 32 is penetrated at the side end of each receiving seat 31, and a turntable 7 is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the rotating circular groove 32 on one side. Three rubber clamping blocks 8 are also provided on the inner side wall of each rotating circular groove 32. Each arc plate 21 The two side ends of the turntable 7 are fixedly installed with a circular shaft 22, each circular shaft 22 is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the rotating circular groove 32, and the side end of each receiving seat 31 is fixedly installed with an L-shaped side rod 33, and the side end of each L-shaped side rod 33 is provided with a rectangular slide 34, and the upper and lower ends of the inner side wall of each rectangular slide 34 are penetrated with a mounting groove 35. The side end of each turntable 7 is fixedly installed with an adjusting block 71, and the side end of each adjusting block 71 is fixedly installed with a fixed column 72. The side ends of every three fixed columns 72 are fixedly installed with the same gear 73. The rotation of the gear 73 will drive each fixed column 72 to rotate, and each fixed column 72 will rotate forward or reverse in the rotating circular groove 32. At this time, the turntable 7 will also rotate to attach Figure 4 For example, when the adjustment block 71 rotates clockwise;

[0025] A spring 81 is fixedly installed between each rubber clamping block 8 and the circumferential end of the inner wall of the rotating circular groove 32. Each adjusting block 71 is located at the circumferential end of the rubber clamping block 8. At this time, the spring 81 will rebound and drive each rubber clamping block 8 to move, thereby reducing the clamping force on the circular shaft 22, that is, the resistance becomes smaller; when the adjusting block 71 rotates counterclockwise, each spring 81 will be stretched, and each rubber clamping block 8 will clamp the circular shaft 22 tightly under the push of each adjusting block 71, that is, the resistance becomes larger, so that the resistance at each joint can be adjusted according to the different needs of thread rolling production;

When the user adjusts the resistance between the joints, the user can rotate the threaded rod 93 forward or reversely. The rotation of the threaded rod 93 will drive the slider 91 to slide up or down in the rectangular slide groove 34 through the threaded groove 92. The movement of the slider 91 will drive the rack 9 to slide, and when the rack 9 slides, it will drive the gear 73 to rotate.

[0027] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a four-axis articulated robot based on thread rolling technology. The device is equipped with an adjustable adjustment block 71, a rubber clamping block 8, a gear 73 and a rack 9. The rack 9 can be driven to slide by rotating the threaded rod 93, thereby driving the rubber clamping block 8 to clamp or loosen the circular shaft 22 in cooperation with the gear 73. By adjusting the resistance of each joint, the four-axis robot can better adapt to different work tasks and workpiece shapes. When processing workpieces with complex shapes, the joint resistance can be adjusted according to the contour of the workpiece, so that the robot can perform thread rolling operations more smoothly.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] A four-axis articulated robot is usually composed of multiple joints, which can achieve flexible movement in multiple directions. Each joint is composed of a motor, a reducer, and a transmission mechanism to accurately control the position and posture of the robot. A certain amount of resistance can be set at the joints of some robotic arms. Appropriate resistance can increase the stability of the robotic arm during movement. When the robotic arm moves quickly or bears external loads, the resistance at the joints can prevent excessive shaking or unstable movement of the joints. In actual use, this device can adjust the resistance between the joints to adapt it to the production needs of thread rolling processing. When the user adjusts the resistance between the joints, the user can rotate the threaded rod 93 forward or reverse. The rotation of the threaded rod 93 will drive the slider 91 to slide up or down in the rectangular slide 34 through the thread groove 92. The movement of the slider 91 will drive the rack 9 to slide. When the rack 9 slides, it will drive the gear 73 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 73 will drive each fixed column 72 to rotate. Each fixed column 72 will rotate forward or reverse in the rotating circular groove 32. At this time, the turntable 7 will also rotate to attach Figure 4 For example, when the adjusting block 71 rotates clockwise, the spring 81 will rebound and drive each rubber clamping block 8 to move, thereby reducing the clamping force on the circular shaft 22, that is, the resistance becomes smaller; when the adjusting block 71 rotates counterclockwise, each spring 81 will be stretched, and each rubber clamping block 8 will clamp the circular shaft 22 tightly under the push of each adjusting block 71, that is, the resistance becomes larger, so as to adjust the resistance at each joint according to the different needs of thread rolling production. In the existing thread rolling work, the resistance between each joint of the robot is the same, and the movement mode of the robot during thread rolling work will be relatively simple, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust according to different work scenes and workpiece shapes. The robot may not be able to accurately control the movement amplitude and speed of each joint during thread rolling operation, which may cause the depth of thread rolling, Parameters such as the pitch are inconsistent, which affects the processing accuracy. The device is equipped with an adjustable adjustment block 71, a rubber clamping block 8, a gear 73 and a rack 9. The rack 9 can be driven to slide by rotating the threaded rod 93, thereby driving the rubber clamping block 8 to clamp or loosen the circular shaft 22 with the cooperation of the gear 73. By adjusting the resistance of each joint, the four-axis robot can better adapt to different work tasks and workpiece shapes. When processing workpieces with complex shapes, the joint resistance can be adjusted according to the contour of the workpiece, so that the robot can perform thread rolling operations more smoothly. In addition, the device can adjust the joint resistance according to actual needs by separately setting an adjustment mechanism at each joint, which can avoid wasting energy on unnecessary joints, making the adjustment of resistance more flexible and adaptable to different production needs.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above description are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
