[0040] Example 1

[0041] This embodiment utilizes synchronous belt drives in at least one functional module of the humanoid robot arm, enabling the robot arm to perform both rotational and swinging movements simultaneously. This significantly improves the robot arm's flexibility and operating range; it also effectively saves space, reduces the overall size and weight of the robot arm. The specific solution is as follows:

[0042] A humanoid robotic arm, as shown in the attached image. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the arm body A includes at least one functional module a. The at least one functional module a includes a rotation module a1, a swing module a2, and a synchronous belt a3. One end of the synchronous belt a3 is connected to the rotation module a1, and the other end is connected to the swing module a2. When one of the rotation module a1 and the swing module a2 is driven, the other of the rotation module a1 and the swing module a2 is driven, thereby driving all or part of the functional modules a in the arm body A to achieve multi-angle rotation and multi-angle swing.

[0043] In practical applications, the arm body A of this embodiment includes a wrist function module 1, a forearm function module 2, an elbow function module 3, an upper arm function module 4, and a shoulder function module 5, which are sequentially connected. It can achieve seven degrees of freedom of movement: wrist rotation, wrist swing, forearm rotation, elbow rotation, upper arm rotation, shoulder rotation, and shoulder swing, greatly improving the flexibility and reach of the robot arm. Specifically, both the wrist function module 1 and the shoulder function module 5 include a rotation module a1, a swing module a2, and a synchronous belt a3. The synchronous belt drive at the wrist and elbow not only saves space and reduces the arm's volume but also lowers its overall weight, while increasing the robot arm's range of motion and flexibility.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the functional module includes at least one of a wrist functional module 1, a forearm functional module 2, an elbow functional module 3, an upper arm functional module 4, and a shoulder functional module 5. The wrist functional module 1, as the end effector connection point of the robotic arm, is responsible for precise grasping and rotation operations, and is a key component in performing specific tasks. The forearm functional module 2 is mainly responsible for connecting the wrist and elbow, providing necessary support and transmission to ensure the stability and accuracy of wrist movements. The elbow functional module 3, through flexible bending and extension, enables a wide range of movements of the robotic arm, enhancing its accessibility and adaptability. The upper arm functional module 4, as a bridge connecting the elbow and shoulder, not only bears the heavy responsibility of transmitting power but also ensures the stability and durability of the robotic arm under heavy loads or high-speed movements through its robust structural design. The shoulder functional module 5 is the base of the entire robotic arm, responsible for achieving a wide range of rotation and tilting movements, providing the robotic arm with a broad workspace and flexible posture adjustment capabilities.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the forearm functional module 2 in functional module a includes a forearm drive mechanism 21, an upper forearm shell 22, a lower forearm shell 23, and a forearm connector 24. The upper forearm shell 22 and the lower forearm shell 23 are connected to form a forearm accommodating space. The forearm connector 24 and the forearm drive mechanism 21 are both partially located in the forearm accommodating space, which ensures both the compactness of the structure and the effective cooperation between the components.

[0046] One end of the forearm drive mechanism 21 is movably connected to the elbow function module 3 in the function module a, and the other end is driven to connect to the forearm connector 24; the end of the forearm connector 24 away from the forearm drive mechanism 21 is driven to connect to the wrist function module 1 in the function module a, so that when the forearm drive mechanism 21 drives the forearm function module 2 to rotate relative to the elbow function module 3, it synchronously drives the wrist function module 1 to rotate relative to the elbow function module 3, thus realizing a smooth motion transmission from the elbow to the wrist;

[0047] Further details are attached. Figure 4 As shown, the upper arm functional module 4 in functional module a includes an upper arm drive mechanism 41, an upper arm shell 42, and a lower arm shell 43. The upper arm shell 42 and the lower arm shell 43 are connected to form an upper arm accommodating space. The upper arm drive mechanism 41 is partially located in the upper arm accommodating space. One end of the upper arm drive mechanism 41 is movably connected to the shoulder functional module 5 in functional module a, and the other end is drively connected to the elbow functional module 3. When the upper arm drive mechanism 41 drives the upper arm functional module 4 to rotate relative to the shoulder functional module 5, it synchronously drives the elbow functional module 3 to rotate relative to the shoulder functional module 5, realizing a smooth motion transmission from the shoulder to the elbow. This not only improves the overall performance and stability of the robot arm, but also enables the robot arm to complete various complex tasks more flexibly and accurately.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 5 As shown, the wrist function module 1 in function module a includes a wrist swing module 11, a wrist rotation module 12, and a wrist synchronization belt 13;

[0049] The wrist swing module 11 is equipped with a wrist drive wheel 14, and the wrist rotation module 12 is equipped with a wrist driven wheel 15 on the side near the wrist drive wheel 14. One end of the wrist timing belt 13 is sleeved on the outside of the wrist drive wheel 14, and the other end of the wrist timing belt 13 is sleeved on the outside of the wrist driven wheel 15. The end of the wrist swing module 11 away from the wrist rotation module 12 is movably connected to the forearm function module 2 in the function module a.

[0050] In practical applications, the wrist functional module 1 in functional module a of this embodiment exhibits extremely high flexibility and end-effector posture adjustment capabilities. Specifically, the wrist functional module 1 mainly consists of a wrist swing module 11, a wrist rotation module 12, and a wrist synchronization belt 13. The wrist rotation module 12, as a key component, can rotate up to ±360 degrees, giving it a wide range of end-effector posture adjustment, enabling the robotic arm to position and operate more flexibly and accurately during task execution. The wrist swing module 11 drives the wrist rotation module 12 to swing through the precision transmission of the wrist synchronization belt 13. This connection method not only ensures high precision but also effectively reduces the overall size of the robotic arm, making the entire wrist functional module 1 more compact and efficient. Furthermore, the swing angle of the wrist swing module 11 exceeds 320 degrees, further enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the robotic arm.

[0051] Furthermore, the wrist swing module 11 is equipped with a wrist drive wheel 14, and the wrist rotation module 12 is equipped with a wrist driven wheel 15. One end of the wrist timing belt 13 is sleeved on the outside of the wrist drive wheel 14, and the other end is sleeved on the outside of the wrist driven wheel 15, which ensures the stable transmission of the wrist timing belt 13 and enables the movement between the wrist swing module 11 and the wrist rotation module 12 to be transmitted accurately and smoothly.

[0052] In addition, the end of the wrist swing module 11 away from the wrist rotation module 12 is closely connected to the forearm function module 2 in the function module a through a movable connection, which ensures that the wrist function module 1 can swing and rotate flexibly relative to the forearm function module 2, and also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire robot arm structure. When the robot arm performs complex tasks, it can adjust the end posture more flexibly and accurately, thereby meeting various high-precision and high-flexibility operation requirements.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the wrist function module 1 further includes a tensioning wheel 16, a tensioning shaft 17, and a wrist housing 18; the wrist swing module 11, the wrist rotation module 12, the wrist drive wheel 14, the wrist driven wheel 15, the wrist timing belt 13, the tensioning wheel 16, and the tensioning shaft 17 are all or partially disposed in the wrist housing 18;

[0054] The tension pulley 16 is mounted on the wrist rotation module 12 and is mainly used to adjust the tension of the wrist synchronous belt 13, ensuring that the wrist synchronous belt 13 remains stable and does not loosen during transmission. This not only extends the service life of the wrist synchronous belt 13 but also improves transmission efficiency and accuracy. The tension shaft 17 is used to fix the tension pulley 16, ensuring that it does not shift or wobble during operation, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the wrist functional module 1.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 6 As shown, the elbow function module 3 in function module a includes an elbow rotation module 31, an elbow reducer 32, and an elbow timing belt 33; one end of the elbow rotation module 31 is driven and connected to one end of the elbow reducer 32, the other end of the elbow rotation module 31 is movably connected to the upper arm function module 4 in function module a, and the other end of the elbow reducer 32 is movably connected to the forearm function module 2 in function module a.

[0056] An elbow drive wheel is provided on the elbow rotation module 31, and an elbow driven wheel is provided on the elbow reducer 32 on the side near the elbow drive wheel. One end of the elbow timing belt 33 is sleeved on the outside of the elbow drive wheel, and the other end of the elbow timing belt 33 is sleeved on the outside of the elbow driven wheel.

[0057] In practical applications, the elbow rotation module 31 is a motor. The elbow function module 3 changes the traditional coaxial layout of the motor and reducer to a parallel design, which significantly reduces the length of the elbow rotation module 31 and the elbow reducer 32 in the axial direction. This effectively reduces the overall width of the arm body A and the overall volume of the arm body A. It can also drive the forearm function module 2 to achieve human-like bending and extension movements, improve the biomimetic performance and operational flexibility of the robot arm, and provide strong support for the robot to perform complex tasks.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, the elbow function module 3 also includes an elbow connector 34; one end of the elbow reducer 32 away from the elbow rotation module 31 is connected to one end of the elbow connector 34, and the other end of the elbow connector 34 is connected to the forearm function module 2, which ensures the efficiency and stability of power transmission, and also provides a solid foundation for the linkage between the elbow and the forearm, so that when the elbow rotation module 31 is driven, it can drive the forearm function module 2 to bend or straighten relative to the upper arm function module 4.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 7 As shown, the shoulder function module 5 in function module a includes a shoulder swing module 51 and a shoulder rotation module 52; one end of the shoulder rotation module 52 is movably connected to an external component, and the other end is driven to the shoulder swing module 51.

[0060] The shoulder swing module 51, located away from the shoulder rotation module 52, is connected to the upper arm function module 4 in the function module a. When the shoulder rotation module 52 drives the shoulder function module 5 to rotate relative to the external component, it drives the shoulder swing module 51 to swing relative to the external component, and simultaneously drives the upper arm function module 4 to rotate and / or swing relative to the external component.

[0061] The shoulder function module 5 fully utilizes the synergistic effect of the shoulder rotation module 52 and the shoulder swing module 51, organically combining the two actions of rotation and swing, greatly enhancing the flexibility and operating range of the robot arm, and effectively reducing the overall size of the robot arm.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the shoulder functional module 5 also includes a shoulder upper shell 53, a shoulder lower shell 54, an upper arm mounting block 55, and a shoulder connector 56; one end of the shoulder connector 56 is connected to the shoulder rotation module 52, and the other end is connected to the shoulder swing module 51; providing a solid power foundation for the swinging action, which not only enhances the overall stability of the shoulder functional module 5, but also ensures that the rotation and swinging actions can be carried out in coordination, greatly improving the flexibility and operating range of the robot arm.

[0063] The shoulder connector 56 is connected to one end of the upper arm mounting block 55 on the side away from the shoulder swing module 51, and the other end of the upper arm mounting block 55 is connected to the upper arm functional module 4. The side of the upper arm mounting block 55 away from the shoulder connector 56 is connected to the lower shoulder shell 54, and the side of the shoulder swing module 51 away from the shoulder connector 56 is connected to the upper shoulder shell 53. This not only enhances the overall structural strength of the shoulder functional module 5, but also provides stable support for the operation of the robot arm.
