DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Clearly and completely describe the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the utility model, obviously, the described embodiments are only the best embodiments of the utility model, and not all the embodiments, based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model;

[0018] The embodiment provides a novel pipeline package support for a robot, which is used for erecting a pipeline package 9 near a motion joint of a robot or a mechanical arm, wherein the pipeline package support is mainly used for a robot or a mechanical arm with a rear arm and a front arm with relative motion, the rear arm and the front arm both have horizontal rotation and vertical swing motion, and the rear arm and the front arm also have relative rotation motion, in order to prevent the pipeline package 9 from being abraded, wound and stretched when the rear arm and the front arm perform the above motion, like Figures 1-2 , the pipeline package support comprises a mounting support, a rotating rod 5 and a rotating beam 7, the pipeline package 9 near the motion joint is arranged in and clamped in a wire hole 74 of the rotating beam 7, point erection and point support of the pipeline package 9 near the motion joint are realized, the mounting support is used as overall support, the mounting support is detachably mounted on the rear arm of the robot along the arm shaft direction, and the front end of the mounting support is close to the motion joint, the rotating beam 7 is relatively rotatably connected with the upper end of the rotating rod 5, the rotating beam 7 is along the vertical direction, and the rotating beam 7 and the rotating rod 5 form a T-shaped structure, a first rotation freedom degree of the pipeline package 9 in a horizontal plane is provided, the rotating rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the mounting support, and a second rotation freedom degree of the pipeline package 9 in a vertical plane is provided, therefore, when the front arm is vertically rotated relative to the rear arm, the pipeline package 9 drags and drives the rotating rod 5 to vertically swing along a rotating pin shaft 4, so that tension at the point support is avoided, when the front arm is horizontally rotated relative to the rear arm, the pipeline package 9 drives the rotating beam 7 to horizontally rotate along the rotating rod 5, so that the pipeline package 9 adapts to the posture of the mechanical arm, when the front arm rotates relative to the rear arm axis, the rotating beam 7 simultaneously combines two kinds of rotation to adapt to the posture change, and abrasion of the pipeline package 9 wound around the arm surface is avoided;

[0019] Because the mounting support has a certain height, meanwhile, the upper end of the rotating rod 5 extends out of the mounting support by a certain length, so that the pipeline package 9 fixed on the rotating beam 7 has enough separation distance from the arm surface of the rear arm, the pipeline package 9 is separated from the body of the robot or the mechanical arm and the mounting support, and damage caused by relative friction in dragging is prevented; because the separation distance is related to mounting conditions, motion ranges and connections of each point of the pipeline package 9, in the actual configuration process, the separation distance needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation of each joint, therefore, the mounting support is a height-adjustable structure, and the mounting support is further described with reference to Figure 1It comprises two installation base plates 1, two support stands 2 and two support beams 3, the two installation base plates 1 are parallel and detachably installed on the rear end arm, the support stand 2 is a height-adjustable "X" shaped frame body, the height can be adjusted by rotating the two support rods, a plurality of installation holes are formed on the installation base plate 1, after the height of the support stand 2 is adjusted, the two installation holes are selected to fix the two support rods, the two support beams 3 are used to install the rotating pin 4, the rotating pin 4 is parallel and fixedly arranged on the two support stands 2, the rotating rod 5 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the rotating pin 4, in order to prevent the rotating pin 4 from moving, nuts are arranged at the two ends of the rotating pin 4, the two ends of the rotating pin 4 are arranged on the two support beams 3 and locked by the nuts;

[0020] According to the analysis of the operating posture of the robot or the mechanical arm, when the rear arm swings, the front arm usually remains in a horizontal state, in order to adapt to the posture, the lower end of the rotating rod 5 extends downward from the rotating support point of the rotating pin 4, and a counterweight 6 is arranged at the lower end of the rotating rod 5, under the action of the gravity of the counterweight 6, the rotating beam 7 remains in a horizontal state when the rear arm rotates, so that the pipeline bag 9 remains in a parallel state with the movement joint and the front arm, and the arrangement of the counterweight 6 can make the pipeline bag 9 automatically restore to a vertical state after the dragging force disappears;

[0021] At the same time, since the downward swinging angle range of the front arm is large and the upward swinging angle range is small, in order to provide sufficient swinging space for the counterweight 6 and make the installation support structure as compact as possible, the rotating pin 4 is biased to one side of the support stand 2 of the front end, and the erection point of the pipeline bag 9 is biased forward, and the higher the erection point is close to the movement joint, the more favorable it is to obtain a larger movement range.

[0022] As a further technical solution, in order to prevent the pipeline bag 9 from rubbing against the robot or the mechanical arm body, the erection distance and the support point width need to be cooperatively designed, for example, if the mechanical arm body is long or the distance between the erection points is long, the erection distance or the support point width should be increased, therefore, the support point needs to have a certain width, the pipeline bag 9 is fixed by being arranged in the wire hole 74 in the middle of the rotating beam 7, the wire hole 74 has a certain length, which extends from the front arm section of the rotating beam 7 to the near rear arm section 72, the near front arm section 71 extends to the top or front side of the movement joint, the outlet of the pipeline bag 9 is located on the near front arm section 71 and above the movement joint, the inlet of the pipeline bag 9 is located on the near rear arm section 72, and the inlet can be the port of the wire hole 74; the installation part 73 is formed by a lateral extension protrusion of the rotating beam body, and a light hole for rotating cooperation with the upper end of the rotating rod is arranged on the installation part 73;

[0023] Because the pipeline package 9 behind the pipeline package support is long, under the gravity traction, the rotating beam 7 is inclined when the rotating beam 7 rotates with the rotating rod 5, which is easy to cause the pipeline package 9 behind to rub against the arm surface, therefore, the balance block 8 is arranged at the end of the near front arm section 71 of the rotating beam 7, to form a balanced state lever mechanism with the center of the rotating column axis as the fulcrum, the balance block 8 is adjustably connected with the end of the near front arm section 71 through the threaded rod, the lever arm length is adjusted by adjusting the screwing depth of the threaded rod, to keep the rotating beam 7 horizontal in the initial state of the rear arm, to ensure the erection effect of the pipeline package 9;

[0024] Therefore, correspondingly, the outlet of the near front arm section 71 cannot be led out by the port, and a threading groove 75 needs to be arranged on the lower surface of the near front arm section 71, the threading groove 75 penetrates to the wire hole 74, and the slot of the threading groove 75 is the outlet, in order to reduce the friction, the edges of the outlet and the inlet should be chamfered;

[0025] As a further technical solution, if the pipeline package 9 is threaded into or out of the wire hole 74 at a small angle, even at a perpendicular angle to the rotating beam 7, stress concentration is easy to occur at the bending part, and the pulling and loosening friction caused by the posture change is easy to cause damage to the bending part first, therefore, the minimum bending angle of the pipeline package 9 needs to be limited, the bottom surface of the rotating beam 7 is provided with two arc guide plates 10, as shown in Figure 2 , the two arc guide plates 10 can be independently installed arc plates, or can be a one-piece structure of a plate strip, the plate strip is bent at both ends to form two arc guide plates 10, one arc guide plate 10 is located directly below the inlet, and the other arc guide plate 10 is located directly below the outlet, respectively guiding the hole entry posture of the pipeline package 9 behind the inlet and the pipeline package 9 in front of the outlet to an arc structure tangent to the wire hole 74, to avoid too small bending angle, and to improve the service life of the pipeline package 9.

[0026] The orientation words mentioned in the present text, such as "upper", "lower", "end", "side", "front", "rear", "horizontal", "vertical", are described in the coordinate or orientation relationship shown in Figures 1-2 , or in the wire direction of the pipeline package 9. These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation;

[0027] In addition, in addition to being used to represent the orientation or position relationship, the above-mentioned part of the terms can also be used to represent other meanings, for example, the terms "upper", "inner" and the like can also be used to represent a certain dependent relationship or connection relationship in some cases.
