Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 : is a partial structural diagram of the robot 1000 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The robot 1000 includes a robot arm, a robot hand 100, and a quick-release device 300. The robot arm and the robot hand 100 are detachably connected via the quick-release device 300. Thus, based on the arrangement of the robot arm and the robot hand 100 being detachably plugged in and connected via the quick-release device 300, maintenance and replacement are facilitated, and different application scenarios of the robot 1000 are enriched. Furthermore, the quick-release device 300 can serve as a robot wrist, thereby improving the compactness and aesthetics of the overall structure of the robot 1000.

[0025] It should be noted that Figure 1 The purpose is only to schematically describe the connection method between the robot arm, the robot hand 100 and the quick release device 300, and is not to make specific limitations on the connection position, connection relationship and specific structure of each component. Figure 1 The structure of the robot 1000 is merely an example of the present invention and does not constitute a specific limitation on the robot 1000. In other embodiments of the present invention, the robot 1000 may include Figure 1More or fewer components, or a combination of certain components, or different components as shown, for example, the robot 1000 may also include but is not limited to a robot torso, a robot head, or an energy storage component.

[0026] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A first exploded view of the quick release device 300 of the robot 1000; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The second exploded view of the quick-release device 300 in FIG. The quick-release device 300 is used to connect the robot arm and the robot hand 100. The quick-release device 300 includes an adapter assembly 10 and a quick-release assembly 30. The adapter assembly 10 includes an adapter base 11 and a quick-release part 12. The adapter base 11 is used to connect to the robot hand 100, and the quick-release part 12 is arranged on the adapter base 11. The quick-release assembly 30 includes a quick-release base 31 and a locking part 32. The quick-release base 31 is used to connect to the robot arm. The locking part 32 is detachably connected to the quick-release part 12 and is movably arranged on the quick-release base 31 so that the locking part 32 can switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking part 32 is in the locked position, the locking part 32 locks the quick-release part 12; when the locking part 32 is in the unlocked position, the locking part 32 unlocks the quick-release part 12.

[0027] The quick-release device 300 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is based on the setting of a detachable plug-in connection between the locking part 32 and the quick-release part 12 to realize a quick-release connection between the robot arm and the robot palm 100, thereby eliminating the need to set up an additional air circuit to realize the clamping function, saving energy consumption, having a simple structure, and being easy to assemble, disassemble, replace later and maintain later, and being flexible to use.

[0028] For the accuracy of description, please refer to the direction in this article. Figure 3 For reference, the term "insertion direction F1" refers to the direction of the plug-in connection between the quick release part 12 and the locking part 32, that is, the up and down direction. The term "movement direction F2" refers to the direction of movement of the locking part 32 relative to the quick release base 31, that is, the front and back direction. Among them, the insertion direction F1 and the movement direction F2 together constitute two orthogonal directions of the quick release device 300. For the convenience of description, the up and down, front and back positions in the present invention are relative positions and do not constitute a restriction on the implementation. The insertion direction F1 and the movement direction F2 of the quick release device 300 can be customized according to the specific structure of the product and the perspective of the drawings, and the present invention does not make specific restrictions. In order to describe more clearly, the two ends along the insertion direction F1 of the quick release device 300 are defined as the top and the bottom, that is, the top and the bottom are arranged opposite to each other. Figure 1In the text, when describing the front or back of an object, the front of the object is the top, and the back of the object is the bottom. For example, the bottom of the adapter assembly 10 refers to the back portion of the adapter assembly 10 that is close to the quick-release assembly 30 and away from the robot hand 100. The top of the adapter assembly 10 refers to the front portion of the adapter assembly 10 that is away from the quick-release assembly 30 and close to the robot hand 100.

[0029] Please also refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A rear view of the quick release device 300 of the robot 1000; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of the quick-release device 300 of the robot 1000 along line AA. The quick-release part 12 is provided with a quick-release hole 120. When the locking part 32 is in the locked position, the inner wall of the quick-release hole 120 limits the stop of the locking part 32 to lock the quick-release part 12 and the quick-release base 31; when the locking part 32 is in the unlocked position, the locking part 32 disengages from the limit stop of the inner wall of the quick-release hole 120 to unlock the quick-release part 12 and the quick-release base 31. Thus, by adjusting the position of the locking part 32 relative to the quick-release hole 120, the quick-release connection between the quick-release part 12 and the locking part 32 is achieved, and there is no need to set up an additional air circuit to achieve the clamping function, thus saving energy consumption, having a simple structure, and being convenient for assembly, disassembly, subsequent replacement and subsequent maintenance, and being flexible to use.

[0030] For example, in this embodiment, the quick-release hole 120 includes a first hole 1201 and a second hole 1202. The second hole 1202 is connected to the first hole 1201 in the insertion direction F1 of the quick-release member 12, and passes through the bottom of the quick-release member 12 in the insertion direction F1 of the quick-release member 12. The locking member 32 includes a locking segment 321 and a quick-release segment 322 connected to the locking segment 321. The locking segment 321 and the quick-release segment 322 are arranged in the movement direction F2 of the locking member 32. When the locking member 32 is in the locked position, the locking segment 321 is inserted into the first hole 1201 and abuts against the inner wall of the first hole 1201. When the locking member 32 is in the unlocked position, the locking segment 321 is located outside the first hole 1201, and the quick-release segment 322 is inserted into the first hole 1201. Therefore, by adjusting the positions of the locking section 321 and the quick-release section 322 relative to the first hole 1201, the quick-release connection between the quick-release part 12 and the locking part 32 is achieved, and there is no need to set up an additional air circuit to achieve the clamping function, which saves energy consumption, has a simple structure, and is easy to assemble, disassemble, replace and maintain later, and is flexible to use.

[0031] Specifically, the first hole 1201 is provided on the side of the quick-release member 12, and the second hole 1202 extends through the bottom of the quick-release member 12, thereby quickly achieving a pluggable connection between the quick-release member 12 and the locking member 32. Of course, in some embodiments, the quick-release hole 120 may not extend through the bottom of the quick-release member 12. The extension direction of the quick-release hole 120 is parallel to the movement direction F2 of the locking member 32 relative to the quick-release base 31. The locking member may be configured as a rod-shaped structure of equal diameter. By adjusting the relative position of the locking member 32 and the quick-release hole 120, when the locking member 32 is aligned with the quick-release hole 120 and located within the quick-release hole 120, the locking member 32 locks the quick-release member 12; when the locking member 32 is located outside the quick-release hole 120, the locking member 32 releases the quick-release member 12, thereby achieving rapid removal or assembly of the adapter assembly 10 and the robot hand 100 mounted on the adapter assembly 10 from the quick-release assembly 30.

[0032] In this embodiment, the quick-release member 12 is configured as a hollow cylindrical structure. A first hole 1201 extends radially through the sidewall of the quick-release member 12, forming two first holes 1201. This improves the reliability and stability of the connection between the quick-release member 12 and the locking member 32. The number of second holes 1202 corresponds to the number of first holes 1201 and extends through the bottom end surface of the quick-release member 12 facing away from the adapter base 11. The locking member 32 is configured as a rod-shaped structure. The radial dimensions of the locking segment 321 are larger than those of the second holes 1202, while the radial dimensions of the quick-release segment 322 are smaller than those of the second holes 1202. This allows the inner wall of the quick-release hole 120 to limit the locking segment 321, locking the quick-release member 12 and the quick-release base 31, and allowing the quick-release segment 322 to disengage from the first hole 1201 and the second hole 1202. Of course, in some embodiments, the quick-release member 12 can also be configured as a plate-shaped structure, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the utility model.

[0033] The shape of the first hole 1201 matches the shape of the locking segment 321, thereby improving the tightness of the fit between the locking member 32 and the quick release member 12, thereby preventing the quick release member 12 from shaking and causing abnormal signal connection or easy collision, thereby improving product quality. For example, in this embodiment, the side walls of the locking segment 321 and the side walls of the quick release segment 322 are each configured as an arc surface, and the radial cross-section of the locking segment 321 and the radial cross-section of the quick release segment 322 are circular, thereby increasing the contact area between the locking member 32 and the quick release member 12, avoiding stress concentration and damage to the quick release member 12 or the locking member 32, and avoiding scratches or installation difficulties caused by irregular shapes of the quick release member 12 or the locking member 32. Of course, in some embodiments, the locking segment 321 and the inner wall of the first hole 1201 can also have a clearance fit, thereby facilitating the movement of the locking member 32 relative to the quick release base 31.

[0034] In some embodiments, a chamfered structure 3211 is provided at the end of the locking section 321 near the quick release section 322, so that when the locking member 32 moves relative to the quick release base 31, the chamfered structure 3211 acts as a guide to enable the locking section 321 to move quickly and accurately into the first hole 1201.

[0035] A sliding cavity 3101 is provided on the side of the quick-release base 31, and the locking member 32 is movably provided in the sliding cavity 3101. A mounting cavity 3102 communicating with the sliding cavity 3101 is provided on the top of the quick-release base 31, and the quick-release member 12 is provided in the mounting cavity 3102. When the locking member 32 is in the unlocked position, the quick-release member 12 can be moved out of the mounting cavity 3102 under operation. When the locking member 32 is in the locked position, the quick-release member 12 cannot be moved out of the mounting cavity 3102. This makes it easy for the user to operate the locking member 32, thereby realizing the rapid switching of the robot hand 100; and makes the robot hand 100 more beautiful after docking with the robot arm. The moving direction F2 of the locking member 32 is perpendicular to the insertion direction F1 of the quick-release member 12. It should be noted that the arrangement of the sliding cavity 3101 and the installation cavity 3102 can be designed according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the utility model does not specifically limit it. For example, the sliding cavity 3101 and the installation cavity 3102 are each arranged on the top of the quick-release base 31.

[0036] In some embodiments, the quick-release assembly 30 further includes an elastic member 34. The elastic member 34 is disposed between the locking member 32 and the inner sidewall of the sliding cavity 3101. Thus, when the locking member 32 is pressed, it presses against the elastic member 34, causing it to elastically deform. When the pressure on the elastic member 34 is released, the elastic member 34 recovers its elastic deformation, returning the locking member 32 to its locked position, locking the quick-release member 12. Therefore, the provision of the elastic member 34 allows for rapid resetting of the locking member 32, making operation simple and convenient. A retaining groove 3201 is provided at the end of the locking member 32 to accommodate the elastic member 34, thereby making the overall structure of the quick-release assembly 30 simple and compact. Furthermore, the retaining groove 3201 guides the elastic member 34's telescopic movement, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the locking member 32's movement within the sliding cavity 3101 and ensuring accurate alignment between the quick-release member 12 and the elastic member 34. In this embodiment, the elastic member 34 is configured as a spring. Of course, in some embodiments, the elastic member 34 may also be configured as, but not limited to, a spring, a sponge, or other elastic structures.

[0037] Optionally, in some embodiments, a limiting rod 3202 is provided at the end of the locking member 32, and the elastic member 34 is sleeved onto the limiting rod 3202. This facilitates installation of the elastic member 34 and improves assembly efficiency between the elastic member 34 and the locking member 32. Furthermore, the limiting rod 3202 guides the elastic member 34 in its expansion and contraction, thereby improving the reliability and stability of its deformation and preventing it from disengaging from its contact or connection with the locking member 32. The limiting rod 3202 may be disposed within the limiting groove 3201. In some embodiments, the limiting groove 3201 and / or limiting rod 3202 may be omitted.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, the quick-release assembly 30 may omit the elastic member 34, that is, the locking member 32 may be moved forward or backward relative to the quick-release base 31 along the extension direction of the sliding cavity 3101 through a user's push-pull operation. Specifically, when the user pushes the locking member 32 to the unlocked position, the quick-release member 12 can be plugged into the locking member 32. Simultaneously, the quick-release member 12 can move relative to the locking member 32 along the plugging direction F1 to facilitate the removal of the quick-release member 12 from the robot hand 100 mounted on the quick-release member 12. When the user pulls the locking member 32 to the locked position, the locking member 32 locks the quick-release member 12, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the robot hand 100 and the robot arm.

[0039] In some embodiments, a guide sliding structure 325 is provided on the locking member 32, and a guide sliding groove 3103 that slides with the guide sliding structure 325 is provided in the sliding cavity 3101, so that the guide sliding structure 325 can guide the movement of the locking member 32 in the sliding cavity 3101, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the movement of the locking member 32, and reducing the friction between the locking member 32 and the inner wall of the sliding cavity 3101, thereby improving the smoothness of the sliding of the locking member 32 relative to the quick-release base 31 and improving the user experience.

[0040] In some embodiments, a stop structure 326 is provided on the quick-release base 31. The stop structure 326 is used to stop the guide slide structure 325. The stop structure 326 can limit the range of movement of the guide slide structure 325, thereby preventing the locking member 32 from being disconnected from the quick-release base 31 during sliding. For example, in this embodiment, the stop structure 326 covers the open end of the sliding cavity 3101. The locking member 32 is movably disposed through the stop structure 326, and the locking segment 321 is stopped by the stop structure 326, thereby preventing the locking member 32 from being disconnected from the quick-release base 31.

[0041] In some embodiments, the locking member 32 further includes an operating section 324. The operating section 324 is exposed relative to the quick-release base 31. For example, in this embodiment, the operating section 324 is connected to the locking section 321. When the locking member 32 is in the locked position, the operating section 324 is at least partially located outside the quick-release base 31, so that the user can quickly remove the robot hand 100, and the operation of reinstalling the robot hand 100 is simple, thereby shortening the disassembly and assembly time of the robot hand and improving the rapid switching of the robot hand. Of course, in some embodiments, when the locking member 32 is in the locked position, the outer end face of the operating section 324 can be retracted or flush with the outer side wall of the quick-release base 31, so as to avoid the user's misoperation and triggering the unlocking operation of the locking member 32 and the quick-release member 12.

[0042] Please also refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of the quick-release device 300 of the robot 1000 along line BB in FIG. In some embodiments, the quick-release assembly 30 further includes a positioning structure 35, which is disposed in the quick-release base 31. The side wall of the quick-release part 12 is provided with a positioning groove 1203, and the positioning structure 35 cooperates with the positioning groove 1203 and is configured as an elastic structure. Specifically, the elastic structure may be, but is not limited to, a ball plunger. Thus, after the quick-release part 12 and the locking part 32 are plugged together, the positioning structure 35 cooperates with the positioning groove 1203, thereby achieving positioning and slight clamping of the locking part 32, thereby avoiding displacement of the quick-release part 12 when the locking part 32 moves to the locked position, which causes the locking part 32 to be unable to lock with the quick-release part 12.

[0043] By way of example, in this embodiment, the quick-release base 31 is provided with a plurality of positioning slots 3104, and the positioning structures 35 are installed in the positioning slots 3104. The positioning slots 3104 are in communication with the mounting cavity 3102. The positioning slots 3104 can be configured as blind slots or through slots. A plurality of positioning structures 35 are provided. The plurality of positioning structures 35 are spaced and evenly distributed around the four sides of the mounting cavity 3102. Optionally, the plurality of positioning structures 35 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center of the quick-release component 12. This balances the forces on the quick-release component 12, preventing displacement of the quick-release component 12, thereby improving the smoothness of the unlocking and locking operations between the adapter assembly 10 and the quick-release assembly 30. By way of example, in this embodiment, four positioning structures 35 are provided, and the four positioning structures 35 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center of the quick-release component 12. Where necessary, the number of positioning structures 35 is for illustrative purposes only and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present invention. For example, the number of positioning structures 35 can be one, two, three, or more than four.

[0044] In some embodiments, the adapter assembly 10 further includes a guide structure 13 disposed on the adapter base 11, and a guide structure 36 that cooperates with the guide structure 13 is disposed on the quick-release base 31. One of the guide structure 13 and the guide structure 36 is configured as a groove, and the other of the guide structure 13 and the guide structure 36 is configured as a protrusion that cooperates with the groove. For example, in this embodiment, the adapter base 11 is provided with two protrusions around the quick-release part 12, and two grooves are provided on the quick-release base 31 at positions corresponding to the two protrusions. This facilitates the alignment and assembly between the unlocking part and the quick-release part 12, thereby improving the smoothness and reliability of the unlocking and locking operations between the adapter assembly 10 and the quick-release assembly 30. Where necessary, the number of guide structures 13 is used for illustration only and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present utility model. For example, the number of guide structures 13 can be one, three, or more than three.

[0045] The quick-release device 300 also includes a male terminal 41 and a female terminal 42. One of the male and female terminals 41, 42 is mounted on the adapter base 11, while the other is mounted on the quick-release base 31. The male and female terminals 41, 42 are removably plugged into each other. This allows for quick connection of electrical signals between the robot hand 100 and the robot arm. When assembling and disassembling the robot hand 100, there is no need to plug or unplug electrical connectors, and the connecting wires are not exposed, which helps reduce wiring in the robot arm and makes the overall design more concise and aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the male terminals 41 are located at the bottom of the conversion base, that is, on the end surface of the conversion base facing the quick-release base 31.
