[0024] Reference Figure 1-5A two-axis cantilever 90-degree robotic arm structure for use in the medical industry includes a raised base 1 and a main arm 2. The main arm 2 is located on one side of the raised base 1. A cylinder 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the raised base 1. A piston A4 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 3. A piston rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston A4. A shell 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 3. Slide grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the top of the shell 7. A slider A9 is slidably connected inside the slide grooves 8. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider A9. Slide rails 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the shell 7. A rack A12 is slidably connected, and a missing gear 13 is meshed on the upper surface of the rack A12. A rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected through the center of the missing gear 13. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 7 through a bearing. A vertical rod 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 10. The vertical rod 15 and the rotating shaft 14 are rotatably connected through a connecting rod 16. A vacuum pump 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the raised seat 1. The vacuum pump 17 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 3 through a gas supply pipe. An air extraction pipe 18 is fixedly installed inside the outer shell 7. A transmission rod 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 10. A piston B20 is fixedly connected to one end of rod 19 that extends into the interior of suction pipe 18. A suction cup 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of suction pipe 18. A clamping claw 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of rack A12. A sensing mechanism is installed inside the clamping claw 22. When material needs to be clamped, vacuum pump 17 is activated, evacuating the interior of cylinder 3. This causes piston rod 5 to move piston A4 upwards. Piston rod 5, through the action of slider A9, moves connecting plate 10 upwards synchronously, causing both vertical rods 15 to move upwards together. The transmission via connecting rod 16 allows for the adjustment of the clamping mechanism. When gear 13 rotates, the meshing connection between gear 13 and rack A12 allows both racks A12 to move the gripping claws 22 inward together, thereby clamping the medical workpiece. Simultaneously, as the connecting plate 10 moves upward, it also moves the transmission rod 19 upward, causing the transmission rod 19 to drive the piston B20 to create a vacuum on the suction cup 21. This allows the suction cup 21 to be precisely adsorbed onto the surface of the workpiece, enabling the gripping claws 22 to stably transport the medical workpiece during medical operations and improving the stability of the collaborative gripping.
[0025] Specifically, a return spring 6 is sleeved on the outer side of the piston rod 5. The top end of the return spring 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston A4, and the bottom end of the return spring 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 3. The return spring 6 can provide a stable restoring force for the piston A4, ensuring that the piston A4 can accurately return to the predetermined position after each action, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the robot operation.
[0026] Specifically, the sensing mechanism includes a sensor 24 and a guide rod 25. The gripper 22 has an internal mounting groove 23. The sensor 24 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 23, and the guide rod 25 is embedded inside the mounting groove 23. A spring seat 26 is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove 23 and is connected to the guide rod 25. When clamping an object, the object will squeeze the guide rod 25, causing the guide rod 25 to come into contact with the sensor 24. After the sensor 24 detects the signal, it will send an electrical signal. This signal is transmitted to the microprocessor control system. After receiving the signal, the control system will send a control command to the vacuum pump 17 according to the preset program. After receiving the control command, the vacuum pump 17 stops working, thereby avoiding excessive clamping force that could damage the material by the gripper 22.
[0027] Specifically, multiple anti-slip strips are fixedly installed on the surface of the gripper 22. The anti-slip strips can increase the friction between the gripper 22 and the object being transported, preventing the object from slipping during transport. They are especially suitable for objects with smooth or slippery surfaces.
[0028] Specifically, the sensor 24 is electrically connected to the vacuum pump 17 via a wire. Through this electrical connection, the sensor 24 can precisely control the opening and closing of the vacuum pump 17, thereby achieving precise control over the adsorption and release functions of the gripper 22.
[0029] Specifically, symmetrically arranged guide rails 27 are fixedly mounted on the surface of the main arm 2. A rotary motor 28 and a drive motor 29 are slidably connected to the surface of the guide rails 27. A helical gear 30 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 29 through a reducer. A rack B31 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide rails 27. The helical gear 30 and the rack B31 mesh with each other. By starting the drive motor 29, the drive motor 29 reduces the speed and increases the output torque through the reducer, thereby driving the rotational motion of the helical gear 30 to be converted into linear motion through the rack B31. A moving block is mounted on the guide rail 27. The helical gear 30, which meshes with the rack B31, drives the moving block to move up and down along the guide rail 27, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the working height of the gripper 22 and improving the applicability of the structure. By starting the rotary motor 28, a 90-degree rotational motion is performed according to the control system command, thereby driving the gripper 22 to perform a flipping operation, thus providing a larger working range and higher operational flexibility.
[0030] Specifically, anti-collision blocks are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of one side of the main arm 2. The surface of the anti-collision blocks is covered with rubber pads. The anti-collision blocks are used to determine the movement limit position of the robot arm and ensure that the robot arm will not exceed the predetermined range during operation, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of operation. The rubber pads can absorb the impact and vibration generated by the robot arm during movement and protect the robot arm structure from damage.
[0031] Working principle: By starting the drive motor 29, the drive motor 29 reduces the speed and increases the output torque through the reducer, thereby driving the rotational motion of the helical gear 30 to be converted into linear motion through the rack B31. A moving block is mounted on the guide rail 27. The helical gear 30, which meshes with the rack B31, drives the moving block to move up and down along the guide rail 27, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the working height of the clamping claw 22 and improving the applicability of the structure. By starting the rotary motor 28, a 90-degree rotation is performed according to the control system command, thereby driving the clamping claw 22 to perform a flipping operation, thus providing a larger working range and higher operational flexibility. When it is necessary to clamp materials, by starting the vacuum pump 17, the vacuum pump 17 evacuates the inside of the cylinder 3, causing the piston rod 5 to drive the piston A4 to move upward. Thus, the piston rod 5 drives the connecting plate 10 to move upward synchronously through the action of the slider A9, so that the two vertical rods 15 move upward together. Through the transmission of the connecting rod 16, the missing gear 13 can be rotated. The meshing connection between gear 13 and rack A12 allows the two racks A12 to move the gripping claws 22 inward together, thereby clamping the medical workpiece. Simultaneously, as the connecting plate 10 moves upward, it also moves the transmission rod 19 upward, causing the transmission rod 19 to drive the piston B20 to create a vacuum on the suction cup 21. This allows the suction cup 21 to accurately adhere to the surface of the workpiece, enabling the gripping claws 22 to stably transport the medical workpiece during medical operations and improving the stability of the collaborative gripping. When clamping an object, the object will squeeze the guide rod 25, causing the guide rod 25 to come into contact with the sensor 24. After detecting the signal, the sensor 24 will send an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the microprocessor control system. Upon receiving the signal, the control system will send a control command to the vacuum pump 17 according to the preset program. Upon receiving the control command, the vacuum pump 17 will stop working, thus preventing excessive clamping force from damaging the material by the gripping claws 22.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
