Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arm technology, and more specifically, it relates to a locking guide seat for a robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] A robotic arm is an automatically controlled, programmable, and multifunctional machine capable of handling materials, workpieces, or manipulating tools. Under computer control, it can achieve precise position and speed control, complete complex operational tasks, and is widely used in industrial production, medical care, scientific research, and other fields.

[0003] Currently, the locking guide seat for robotic arms is a component used in robotic arms. Its main functions are to guide the movement of the robotic arm and lock it at specific positions. The locking guide seat is an important auxiliary device for robotic arms, ensuring the stability and working efficiency of the robotic arm.

[0004] However, the locking guide seat needs to be assembled with the locking component during the installation process. However, the locking groove in the existing locking guide seat is mostly closed, that is, the locking component and the locking groove are in a closed fit. If the locking component has a problem and needs to be repaired, the maintenance personnel need to disassemble the entire guide seat or robot system on a large scale, which increases the burden of maintenance work. A locking guide seat for robot is proposed to improve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a locking guide seat for a robotic arm.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A locking guide seat for a robotic arm includes a guide portion, and a locking portion is provided on the top of the guide portion. The guide portion and the locking portion are integrally formed.

[0008] The guide portion includes a guide seat, the top of which has four sets of mounting holes, a guide rail on the top, and a mounting base at the bottom center of the guide seat.

[0009] The locking part includes a base, and a locking seat is provided on the top of the base.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting holes are used to install the robot base, and the guide rail provides a running channel for the robot's movement, allowing the robot to move smoothly along the guide rail.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the base is located at the top center of the guide seat, the height of the base is higher than the height of the guide seat, and the guide rail is located at the middle position between the guide seat and the base.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the interior of the mounting base, the guide base and the base are all hollow, and the mounting base, the guide base and the base are connected in sequence, and the outer wall of the mounting base is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the interior of the locking seat is hollow, and the locking seat is connected to the base; a first groove is provided through the side wall of the locking seat.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: a second groove is horizontally formed below the first groove, and a third groove is vertically formed at the bottom of the end of the second groove away from the first groove.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the first groove, the second groove and the third groove are connected in sequence to form an irregular locking groove, and the interior of the irregular locking groove is provided with a chamfer.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a locking component is provided inside the locking seat. The locking component is driven by a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or motor to be inserted into the irregular locking groove. When the robot performs locking work, the locking component is first inserted into the first groove, and then gradually transitions to the third groove through the second groove. By setting a structure for gradual transition insertion, the impact force generated at the moment of collision can be greatly reduced, reducing damage to the locking component and the locking seat, and increasing the service life of the locking mechanism. In addition, the chamfer set in the irregular locking groove further optimizes the inner wall of the irregular locking groove, reducing the impact force of collision between the locking component and the irregular locking groove. The top of the first groove is set in an open shape, that is, the irregular locking groove is set in an open shape. The open irregular locking groove makes it easier to install the locking component. During the assembly of the robot, the operator does not need to pass the locking component through a complex closed structure, but can directly put the locking component into the groove from the opening. This greatly simplifies the assembly process and reduces the assembly time.

[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] 1. By setting the top of the first groove to be open, i.e., the irregular locking groove is set to be open, when the locking component needs to be repaired or replaced, the open structure provides maintenance personnel with direct operating space. Maintenance personnel can easily approach the locking component to perform operations such as inspection, disassembly and reinstallation, thereby improving the maintainability of the equipment, reducing equipment downtime, and solving the problem that closed locking structures are not convenient for maintenance.

[0019] 2. By setting the first groove, the second groove and the third groove to be connected in sequence to form an irregular locking groove, when the robot arm performs the locking work, the locking component is first inserted into the position of the first groove, and then gradually transitions to the position of the third groove through the second groove. By setting the structure of gradual transition insertion, the impact force generated at the moment of collision can be greatly reduced. Attached Figure Description

The mounting holes 12 are used to install the robot base, and the guide rail 13 provides a running channel for the movement of the robot, so that the robot can move smoothly along the guide rail 13.

[0031] The locking part 2 includes a base 21, and a locking seat 22 is provided on the top of the base 21.

[0032] See Figure 2-4 The base 21 is located at the top center of the guide seat 11, and the height of the base 21 is higher than the height of the guide seat 11. The guide rail 13 is located at the middle position between the guide seat 11 and the base 21.

[0033] See Figure 2-4 The interiors of the mounting base 14, guide seat 11 and base 21 are all hollow, and the mounting base 14, guide seat 11 and base 21 are connected in sequence. The outer wall of the mounting base 14 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove for connecting other components.

[0034] See Figure 2-4 The interior of the locking seat 22 is hollow, and the locking seat 22 is connected to the base 21. A first groove 23 is provided through the side wall of the locking seat 22.

[0035] See Figure 2-4 A second groove 24 is horizontally provided below the first groove 23, and a third groove 25 is vertically provided at the bottom of the end of the second groove 24 away from the first groove 23.
