DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application, and the technical scheme of the present application is further described in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0026] As Figures 1-7 shown, the present application provides a kind of industrial robot mechanical claw force balance equipment, including mechanical claw 1, mechanical claw 1 as the working end of industrial robot, for grabbing target material, the lower side of the connecting rod supporting arm of one end of the mechanical claw 1 is installed with liftable workbench 2, and the lower side of the connecting rod supporting arm is installed with the driving component of driving workbench 2 lifting;When using, driving component can be operated according to the height of target material to control workbench 2 to lift, it is convenient for mechanical claw 1 to grab target material, after mechanical claw 1 is grabbed to target material, load is borne, and connecting rod supporting arm can effectively disperse and transmit load, and concentrate gravity, keep the gravity center of mechanical claw 1 stable, effectively improve the balance and stability of mechanical claw 1 in work;
[0027] Further, in order to improve the balance and stability of the mechanical claw 1 during work, the driving component includes a base 3 and a load-bearing table 4 which is coaxially rotatably connected to the bottom of the workbench 2 and can be lifted on the upper side of the base 3. The circumferential surface of the base 3 is fixedly connected with a plurality of annularly distributed mounting brackets 27, respectively. The lower end of the mounting bracket 27 is slidably connected with a sliding plate 12 which can move along the radial direction of the base 3. By controlling the outward movement of the sliding plate 12 at the lower end of the mounting bracket 27, the supporting area of the base 3 can be increased, further improving the stability of the base 3 during supporting, and ensuring the balance of the center of gravity of the mechanical claw 1 during work. The lower end of the load-bearing table 4 is fixedly connected with a traction rod 15 which is axially slidably connected with the middle part of the base 3. The bottom of the traction rod 15 is hingedly connected with a transmission rod 16 which is equal in number to the sliding plate 12. The other end of the transmission rod 16 is hingedly connected with the corresponding sliding plate 12. When the load-bearing table 4 is lifted to increase the height, the sliding plate 12 can be moved outward through the transmission of the transmission rod 16, which can adjust the supporting range of the base 3 according to the height of the load-bearing table 4. When the height of the load-bearing table 4 increases, the supporting range of the base 3 also increases. When the height of the load-bearing table 4 decreases, the supporting range of the base 3 also decreases. This ensures that the base 3 can stably support the mechanical claw 1 when the mechanical claw 1 is under stress, avoiding the occurrence of unstable center of gravity when the mechanical claw 1 is under stress after being adjusted in height. This facilitates automatic adjustment of balance and stability according to the working height of the mechanical claw 1 during use.
[0028] The upper end of the base 3 is hingedly connected with a plurality of annularly and uniformly distributed swing arms 5. The outer end of the swing arm 5 is hingedly connected with a hinge rod 6. The other end of the hinge rod 6 is hingedly connected with the bottom of the load-bearing table 4. The inner end of the swing arm 5 is coaxially fixedly connected with a worm gear 7. The worm gear 7 is coaxial with the hinge point of the swing arm 5 and the base 3. When the worm gear 7 rotates, the swing arm 5 can swing. A plurality of worm gears 7 are meshed with a worm 8 on the inside. The upper end of the worm 8 is provided with a sliding hole downward. The traction rod 15 extends downward through the sliding hole to provide a traction channel for the traction rod 15. The worm 8 is rotatably connected with the base 3. The lower end of the base 3 is provided with a driving end for controlling the rotation of the worm 8. When adjusting the height of the mechanical claw 1, the worm 8 can be driven to rotate by the driving end for control. When the worm 8 rotates, the swing arm 5 can be swung upward synchronously through the meshing of the worm 8 with the plurality of worm gears 7. When the swing arm 5 swings upward, the load-bearing table 4 can be moved upward through the transmission of the hinge rod 6. When the worm 8 reverses, the swing arm 5 can be controlled to swing downward, thereby driving the load-bearing table 4 to move downward. This has the effect of controlling the lifting of the load-bearing table 4. The transmission between the worm 8 and the worm gear 7 has a self-locking effect, which keeps the load-bearing table 4 stable during work.
[0029] Further, in order to improve the stability of the sliding plate 12 when moving, the bottom of the mounting bracket 27 is respectively provided with a rectangular hole with two open ends, the sliding plate 12 is slidably arranged inside the rectangular hole, the two ends of the sliding plate 12 are respectively provided with a limiting groove 28 along the length direction, the inner wall of the rectangular hole is respectively fixedly connected with a limiting protrusion which is in sliding fit with the limiting groove 28, and the limiting protrusion is in sliding fit with the sliding groove when the sliding plate 12 moves, so that the stability of the sliding plate 12 when moving can be effectively improved, and the shaking of the sliding plate 12 when moving and the like can be avoided, thereby affecting the stability of the mechanical claw 1.
[0030] The driving end comprises a driving motor 9 fixedly connected to the base 3, a driving gear 10 fixedly connected to the power output end of the driving motor 9, and a driven gear 11 fixedly connected to the lower end of the worm 8. The driven gear 11 is in meshing transmission with the driving gear 10. When the height of the mechanical claw 1 needs to be adjusted, the driving motor 9 can be controlled to operate. When the driving motor 9 rotates, the worm 8 can be driven to rotate through the meshing of the driving gear 10 and the driven gear 11, and then the bearing table 4 is driven to ascend and descend under the transmission of the worm 8, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the height of the mechanical claw 1.
[0031] The lower end of the workbench 2 is fixedly connected with a rotating gear 17, and the rotating gear 17 is rotatably connected with the lower bearing table 4. The rotating gear 17 is meshed with a control gear 18 on one side. The bottom of the bearing table 4 is fixedly connected with a control motor 19. The power output end of the control motor 19 is fixedly connected with the control gear 18 on the same axis. The control motor 19 is used to drive the workbench 2 to rotate, thereby driving the mechanical claw 1 to rotate. It is convenient for the mechanical claw 1 to change position according to the different positions of the target material. After the control motor 19 rotates in the work, the workbench 2 is driven to rotate through the meshing transmission of the control gear 18 and the rotating gear 17, thereby realizing the adjustment of different grabbing positions of the mechanical claw 1.
