AI Technical Summary
When the robotic arm rises and performs a lateral gripping motion, the increased weight at the end of the arm causes the base to bear enormous pressure, which may cause the base to lose its balance and thus cause it to tip over during the lifting and gripping process.
The design employs a lifting and balancing unit, including components such as a rotating base, telescopic shell, servo motor, lead screw, gear, rectangular frame, and load-bearing block. The servo motor drives the lead screw to lift and lower, while the gear drives the rectangular frame to slide. The rectangular frame and the load-bearing block work together to lower the center of gravity of the rotating base, ensuring the stability of the robotic arm during the grasping process.
This effectively reduces the instability of the robotic arm's center of gravity during the grasping process, prevents tipping over, and improves the stability of the robotic arm during lifting and grasping.

[0026] Embodiment
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 For an embodiment of the utility model, a mechanical arm lifting mechanism is provided, comprising: a lifting unit 100 and a balance unit 200;
[0028] The lifting unit 100 comprises a rotating base 101 and a telescopic shell 102 fixedly installed on the output end of the rotating base 101, a servo motor 103 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the telescopic shell 102, the output end of the servo motor 103 is fixedly connected with a lead screw 104, the lead screw 104 is threadedly sleeved with a lifting block 105, the lifting block 105 is slidingly arranged in the inner cavity of the telescopic shell 102, a supporting disc 106 is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting block 105, and a mechanical arm 107 is fixedly installed at the top of the supporting disc 106;
[0029] The balance unit 200 comprises a gear 201 fixedly sleeved on the output end of the servo motor 103, two fixed rods 202 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the telescopic shell 102, a rectangular frame 203 is slidingly arranged between the two fixed rods 202, one side of the inner wall of the rectangular frame 203 is provided with a row of teeth, the teeth of the rectangular frame 203 are engaged with the gear 201, and the rectangular frame 203 penetrates through the inner wall of the telescopic shell 102 and is fixedly connected with a bearing block 204.
[0030] The rotating base 101 is internally provided with a motor capable of driving the telescopic shell 102 to rotate, so that the mechanical arm 107 does not need to be bent towards the direction of the bearing block 204, the direction of the mechanical arm 107 can be adjusted through the rotating base 101, the mechanical arm 107 is composed of multiple output shafts and connecting arms, the mechanical arm 107 cooperates with the rotating base 101 and can perform complex movement in a three-dimensional space, the servo motor 103 drives the lead screw 104 to rotate, so that the lifting block 105 can vertically ascend and descend in the telescopic shell 102, to increase the range in which the mechanical arm 107 can move, when the mechanical arm 107 ascends, the servo motor 103 drives the gear 201 to rotate, the gear 201 is engaged with the teeth of the rectangular frame 203, the gear 201 can drive the rectangular frame 203 to slide along the two fixed rods 202, a rectangular opening matching the rectangular frame 203 is formed in one side of the telescopic shell 102, so that the rectangular frame 203 passes through the rectangular opening and moves outwards of the telescopic shell 102;
[0031] The rectangular frame 203 is close to the bottom of the telescopic shell 102, and the center of gravity of the rotating base 101 is lowered through the rectangular frame 203 and the bearing block 204, so that the rotating base 101 can provide good support for the mechanical arm 107. The length of the rectangular frame 203 is relatively short, and when the rectangular frame 203 moves to the limit, the rectangular frame 203 will not exceed the length of the rotating base 101, so as to avoid the center of gravity of the rotating base 101 being unstable in the vertical state of the mechanical arm 107. The length of the extension of the rectangular frame 203 is proportional to the height of the mechanical arm 107, and the higher the height of the mechanical arm 107, the farther the rectangular frame 203 moves. When the mechanical arm 107 is stretched away from the bearing block 204, the center of gravity of the rotating base 101 tilts towards the end of the mechanical arm 107, and at this time the bearing block 204 provides downward pressure in the opposite direction of the rotating base 101 to ensure that the gravity on both sides of the rotating base 101 is relatively balanced, thereby preventing the mechanical arm 107 from tipping over due to the height being too high, so that the mechanical arm 107 can stably rise and grasp the object.
[0032] In addition, the side wall of the telescopic shell 102 is fixedly connected with three limiting plates 108, and the bottom of the supporting disc 106 is fixedly connected with three limiting rods 109 corresponding to the positions of the limiting plates 108. The bottom ends of the three limiting rods 109 respectively slide through the corresponding limiting plates 108.
[0033] The three limiting plates 108 are respectively located on the three side walls of the telescopic shell 102 which are not provided with rectangular openings. When the supporting disc 106 rises, the three limiting rods 109 will simultaneously slide in the vertical direction along the three limiting plates 108. The supporting disc 106 is limited by the three-point method to increase the strength of the supporting disc 106 and improve the stability of the supporting disc 106 when it rises, thereby ensuring that the mechanical arm 107 does not shake violently during lifting and grasping, thereby improving the stability of the mechanical arm 107 during lifting.
[0034] Further, the counterweight rod 205 is threadedly connected to one side of the bearing block 204, a threaded hole is formed in the end of the counterweight rod 205 away from the bearing block 204, two symmetrically distributed connecting plates 206 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the counterweight rod 205, a plurality of mounting grooves are formed in one side of each of the two connecting plates 206, and a counterweight block 207 is slidably arranged in each mounting groove. A connecting barrel 208 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the counterweight rod 205, a support rod 209 is threadedly connected to the end of the connecting barrel 208, and a suction cup 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 209.
[0035] When the object grabbed by the mechanical arm 107 is heavy, the weight of the weight block 204 can be increased by the external counterweight rod 205 to balance the weight brought by the mechanical arm 107. The weight block 204 is provided with a threaded hole of a standard aperture on one side to facilitate the rotation and installation of the counterweight rod 205. The end of the counterweight rod 205 is also provided with a threaded rod of the same aperture, so that the plurality of counterweight rods 205 can be mutually butted to further increase the weight of the weight block 204. When a single counterweight rod 205 is used to increase the weight, the weight of the single counterweight rod 205 can be increased by sliding and placing a plurality of weight blocks 207 through the two connecting plates 206. When the counterweight is increased by using the connecting plate 206, the number and position of the weight blocks 207 on the two connecting plates 206 should be uniformly distributed, so that the weight of the two connecting plates 206 is balanced and the counterweight rod 205 is not deflected.
[0036] The support rod 209 can be rotated and taken out from the connecting cylinder 208 for storage. The support rod 209 can be in contact with the support surface and support the counterweight rod 205. When a plurality of counterweight rods 205 are butted, each counterweight rod 205 can be supported by the support rod 209 to reduce the load bearing burden of the rectangular frame 203. The support rod 209 can be adsorbed on the support surface by the suction cup 210, so that the inertia generated during the lifting and moving of the mechanical arm 107 does not cause the rotation base 101 to deviate.
[0037] Further, the side wall of the rotation base 101 is provided with a plurality of storage grooves. The top of the inner wall of each storage groove is rotatably connected with an iron plate 211. The inner wall of each storage groove is fixedly connected with a magnet disc 212.
[0038] The four side surfaces of the rotation base 101 are provided with iron plates 211. The bottom of the iron plate 211 is flush with the bottom of the rotation base 101. The storage groove can completely store the iron plate 211. The iron plate 211 can be perpendicular to the rotation base 101 by rotating the iron plate 211, so that the iron plate 211 can increase the support area of the rotation base 101 to prevent the rotation base 101 from being turned over and ensure the safety of the mechanical arm 107 during lifting. The iron plate 211 can be tightly adsorbed in the storage groove by the magnet disc 212 to facilitate the storage of the iron plate 211 and prevent the iron plate 211 from being deviated when not in use. One side of each iron plate 211 is fixedly connected with a T-shaped rod to facilitate the user to rotate the iron plate 211 out of the storage groove by the T-shaped rod.
[0039] During use, when the object to be grabbed by the mechanical arm 107 is heavy, the outer counterweight rod 205 is used to increase the weight of the load block 204, and the plurality of counterweight blocks 207 are placed in the sliding groove of the connecting plate 206, thereby increasing the weight of the single counterweight rod 205, so that the weight borne by the load block 204 matches the weight of the object, then the counterweight rod 205 is supported by rotating the support rod 209, so as to reduce the bearing burden of the rectangular frame 203, then the four sides of the rotating base 101 are provided with iron plates 211, which are perpendicular to the rotating base 101, thereby increasing the support area of the rotating base 101, so as to prevent the rotating base 101 from being easily turned over;
[0040] Then the telescopic shell 102 of the rotating base 101 rotates, so that the mechanical arm 107 rotates to the direction of the object, the screw rod 104 is rotated by the servo motor 103, so that the mechanical arm 107 rises, at this time the rectangular frame 203 can be driven by the gear 201 to slide along the two fixed rods 202, so that the rectangular frame 203 passes through the rectangular opening and moves out of the telescopic shell 102, at this time the load block 204 provides downward pressure in the opposite direction of the rotating base 101, thereby balancing the weight of the object grabbed by the mechanical arm 107, when the mechanical arm 107 places the object, the servo motor 103 is reversely rotated, so that the mechanical arm 107 descends, and at the same time the rectangular frame 203 moves into the telescopic shell 102, so as to store the rectangular frame 203.
[0041] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalent, without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, which should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
