Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turnover, in particular to a turnover mechanism of a manipulator. Background Art

[0002] A robot is a highly automated device that can simulate the movements of a human hand to complete various tasks in a variety of fields such as industrial manufacturing, medical care, and logistics. The robot is mainly composed of a hand and a motion mechanism. The hand is used to grasp workpieces or tools, while the motion mechanism enables the hand to complete rotation, movement, or combined movements to achieve the specified action.

[0003] The flipping mechanism of the manipulator is a key component that enables the manipulator to flip at a specific angle. It can make the manipulator more flexible and efficient when performing tasks, thereby adapting to a variety of different occasions.

[0004] When the flipping mechanism of the manipulator is needed to rotate the grasped object to a specific angle, an inertia will be generated. When the grasped object is rotated to the specific angle and the flipping mechanism stops rotating, its inertia will not disappear. This inertia will have a certain impact on the flipping mechanism of the manipulator. If the flipping mechanism of the manipulator withstands this impact for a long time, it will increase the wear rate of its own parts, thereby affecting its service life. Therefore, it does not meet the existing needs, and we have proposed a flipping mechanism of the manipulator. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a flipping mechanism of a manipulator to solve the problem raised in the above-mentioned background technology that when the flipping mechanism of the manipulator is needed to rotate the grasped object to a specific angle, an inertia will be generated. When the grasped object is rotated to the specific angle and the flipping mechanism stops the rotation operation, its inertia will not disappear. This inertia will have a certain impact on the flipping mechanism of the manipulator. If the flipping mechanism of the manipulator withstands this impact force for a long time, the wear rate of its own parts will increase, thereby affecting its service life.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a flip mechanism of a manipulator, comprising a flip arm, a rotating head is installed on the front end surface of the flip arm, a horizontal bar cylinder is provided on one side of the rotating head, and a piston rod of the horizontal bar cylinder is connected to a gear row, and one side of the outer surface of the gear row is meshed with a gear, the axis of the gear is connected to a gear shaft, one side of the outer surface of the gear shaft is fixedly sleeved with a first bevel gear, the first bevel gear is meshed with a second bevel gear, and a metal sleeve located on the outer side of the rear end of the rotating head is fixedly provided inside the second bevel gear, an arc block is fixedly provided on one side of the inner wall of the metal sleeve, a spring groove is provided inside the arc block, a damping spring is provided inside the spring groove, and a buffer block is connected to both sides of the outer surface of the damping spring, and a metal strip fixed to the outer surface of the rotating head is provided on one side of the damping spring, and the surface of the metal strip facing the nearest buffer block is in contact with the buffer block.

[0007] Preferably, a grabbing plate is fixedly mounted on the front end surface of the rotating head, and the rotating head and the grabbing plate are fixed by screws.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end surface of the gear row is slidably connected to the inside of the flip arm, the gear row and the piston rod on the horizontal bar cylinder are fixed by bolts, and the horizontal bar cylinder and the flip arm are electrically connected.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the gear shaft are located inside the flip arm housing, and the gear shaft located inside the flip arm housing is connected to the flip arm via a roller bearing.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall diameter of the metal sleeve is larger than the outer surface diameter of the rotating head located therein, and the front and rear end surfaces of the metal sleeve are connected to the flip arm via roller bearings.

[0011] Preferably, the buffer block is integrally made of rubber, and the buffer block is slidably connected to the arc block.

[0012] Preferably, a metal cover plate is provided above the metal sleeve and is located on the outer surface of the flip arm, and the flip arm and the metal cover plate are fixed by screws.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. The utility model can rotate the metal sleeve located on the outer side of the rotating head through a horizontal-bar cylinder. When the metal sleeve rotates, the buffer block indirectly connected to it will revolve around the rotating head as the center. If it is necessary to rotate the grabbing disc and the object grabbed by the grabbing disc ninety degrees clockwise through the rotating head, the metal sleeve is first rotated eighty-eight degrees clockwise through the horizontal-bar cylinder. Then, when the grabbing disc is adjusted to a specific angle through the rotating head, the metal strip fixed to the outer surface of the rotating head will contact the buffer block whose position changes with the rotation of the metal sleeve. The damping spring connected to the buffer block can absorb the impact force borne by the metal strip itself. The above technical solution can reduce the impact force borne by the metal strip itself when the grasped object is rotated by the rotating head, thereby improving the service life of the equipment.

[0015] 2. In the present invention, the diameter of the inner wall of the metal sleeve is larger than the diameter of the outer surface of the rotating head located inside the metal sleeve. This structure can prevent the force of the rotating head from acting on the metal sleeve during rotation, thereby causing the position of the metal sleeve and the buffer block indirectly connected thereto to change, and ultimately causing the rotating head to be unable to contact the buffer block when it rotates to the corresponding angle.

When the metal sleeve 9 rotates, the position of the buffer block 13 slidingly connected to the arc block 10 fixed on the inner wall of the metal sleeve 9 will change accordingly;

[0024] A grabbing disc 15 is fixedly mounted on the front end surface of the rotating head 2, and the rotating head 2 and the grabbing disc 15 are fixed by screws; if it is necessary to rotate the grabbing disc 15 and the object grabbed by the grabbing disc 15 ninety degrees clockwise by the rotating head 2, first rotate the metal sleeve 9 eighty-eight degrees clockwise by the horizontal cylinder 3, and then when the grabbing disc 15 is adjusted to a specific angle by the rotating head 2, the metal strip 14 fixed to the outer surface of the rotating head 2 will contact the buffer block 13 whose position changes with the rotation of the metal sleeve 9, and the damping spring 12 connected to the buffer block 13 can absorb the impact force borne by the metal strip 14 itself. Through the above technical solution, the impact force borne by the metal strip 14 itself when the grasped object is rotated by the rotating head 2 can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the equipment;

[0025] After the rotating head 2 has stopped rotating, the metal sleeve 9 is pushed to rotate two degrees clockwise by the horizontal cylinder 3, so that the metal strip 14 and the buffer block 13 connected thereto are adjusted to be in contact with each other. Thereafter, when the grabbing plate 15 and the object on the grabbing plate 15 need to be rotated clockwise by the rotating head 2, the buffer block 13 is adjusted to the position where the rotating head 2 is about to rotate minus two degrees by the horizontal cylinder 3, so as to ensure that the two can contact each other.
