[0034] The first axis 1, the second axis 2, the third axis 3, the fourth axis 4 and the fifth axis 5 are connected in series;

[0035] The first end of the first axis 1 is fixed to the installation base 6;The end of the fifth axis 5 is connected with the pneumatic suction assembly.

[0036] Wherein, the installation base 6 can be installed on the workbench in any direction, flexible operation, good adaptability. The installation base 6 can be made of cast iron material, with shock absorbing pad inside, to reduce the interference of mechanical vibration on the working environment. The mechanical arm body is a steering wheel based on the joint series chain of the mechanical arm, including five arm shafts from the first axis to the fifth axis. Each shaft is independently driven by a high torque steering wheel, and the steering wheel shaft transmits kinetic energy to the connecting flange through synchronous pulley or bearing, to drive the joint shaft to run accurately. The direction of the arm shaft, the first axis 1, the second axis 2 and the third axis 3 adopt uniform transverse rotation, to ensure the full transverse bending freedom of the mechanical arm;The fourth axis 4 and the fifth axis 5 adopt uniform longitudinal rotation direction, to ensure that the working end of the mechanical arm can reach any height in the working range with a horizontal posture.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2 The first axis 1 includes first body member 1B, first steering wheel 1A and first U-shaped connecting member 1C;The first body member 1B is a hollow structure, and the first steering wheel 1A is arranged in the inner cavity of the first body member 1B;

[0038] The inner wall of the first U-shaped connecting member 1C is provided with inner buckle flange shaft 1E;

[0039] The first main body 1B is disposed in the U-shaped groove of the first U-shaped connector 1C, and the two ends of the servo shaft 1D of the first servo motor 1A pass through the first main body 1B and are connected to the inner flange shaft 1E of the first U-shaped connector 1C through the mounting bearing 1F fixed to the first main body 1B.

[0040] The first axis 1 to the fifth axis 5 are installed as a whole through cascading.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the second shaft 2 includes a second servo motor 2B, a second U-shaped connector 2C, a second square connector 2A, and a second connecting component 2D; the other end of the second square connector 2A connected to the first shaft 1 is fixed with the second connecting component 2D; the second servo motor 2B is fixed to the second connecting component 2D; the two ends of the servo shaft of the second servo motor 2B are respectively provided with second wheel disks 2G; the second servo motor 2B is located in the U-shaped groove of the second U-shaped connector 2C, and its second wheel disk 2G is connected to the second U-shaped connector 2C, and the rotational torque of the second servo motor 2B is transmitted to the third shaft 3 through the second U-shaped connector 2C.

[0042] The third axis 3 adopts the same structure as the second axis 2, including a third servo motor 3B, a third U-shaped connector 3C, a third U-shaped connector 3A, and a third wheel 3G respectively provided on the DC vacuum pump 8; the third servo motor 3B is located in the U-shaped groove of the third U-shaped connector 3C, and its third wheel 3G is connected to the third U-shaped connector 3C, and the rotational torque of the third servo motor 3B is transmitted to the fourth axis 4 through the third U-shaped connector 3C.

[0043] To meet operational requirements and enable the robotic arm's end effector to reach any point in the workspace, the robotic arm's first three axes—axis 1, axis 2, and axis 3—adopt a lateral rotation method. This means that the first servo motor 1A of axis 1, the second servo motor 2B of axis 2, and the third servo motor 3B of axis 3 are lateral axis servos, i.e., their rotational servo axes are along... Figure 2 The vertical orientation is shown. The last two axes of the robotic arm, namely the fourth axis (4) and the fifth axis (5), are longitudinal axis servos, meaning that the servo axes that rotate are along... Figure 4 The longitudinal arrangement shown has its rotation direction perpendicular to the rotation direction of the servo motors on the first three axes. The design of the two longitudinal rotation axes ensures that the suction end picks up mulberry leaves in a horizontal posture. Since the fourth axis (4) and fifth axis (5) do not require an extended arm length at the end, the second square connector 2A in the second axis is eliminated, and the fourth connector 4A is used to directly connect to the previous axis. Furthermore, because less torque is required near the end, longitudinal axis servo motors with relatively lower torque are selected for the fourth axis (4) and fifth axis (5). See attached diagram for details. Figure 4The fourth shaft 4 comprises a fourth connecting member 4A, a fourth steering engine 4B and a fourth U-shaped connecting member 4C. The fourth connecting member 4A is fixed to the end of the second U-shaped connecting member 2C of the third shaft 3. The fourth steering engine 4B is installed on the fourth connecting member 4A. The fourth steering engine 4B is located in the fourth U-shaped connecting member 4C, and the fourth wheel disc of the fourth steering engine 4B is connected to the fourth U-shaped connecting member 4C. The rotating torque of the fourth steering engine 4B is transmitted to the fifth shaft 5 through the fourth U-shaped connecting member 4C.

[0044] The fifth shaft 5 has the same structure as the fourth shaft 4, comprising a fifth connecting member 5A, a fifth steering engine 5B and a fifth U-shaped connecting member 5C. The fifth connecting member 5A is fixed to the end of the fourth U-shaped connecting member 4C. The fifth steering engine 5B is installed on the fifth connecting member 5A. The fifth steering engine 5B is located in the fifth U-shaped connecting member 5C, and the fifth wheel disc of the fifth steering engine 5B is connected to the fifth U-shaped connecting member 5C. The rotating torque of the fifth steering engine 5B is transmitted to the pneumatic suction assembly through the fifth U-shaped connecting member 5C.

[0045] The pneumatic suction assembly comprises a pneumatic connecting member 7, a direct-current vacuum pump 8, a suction disc set 9 and a gas path assembly 10. The direct-current vacuum pump 8 is installed on the pneumatic connecting member 7. The suction disc set 9 is installed at the end of the pneumatic connecting member 7. The direct-current vacuum pump 8 is connected to the suction disc set 9 through the pipeline in the gas path assembly 10. The suction disc in the suction disc set 9 is a flexible suction disc, which can be made of silica gel. The diameter of the suction disc is adapted to the size of the mulberry leaf, for example, the diameter of the suction disc can be φ30-150mm. The suction pressure is adjustable, and the pressure is-80kPa to-200kPa. The silkworm breeding room generally does not have industrial supporting facilities such as air compressors, so the direct-current vacuum pump 8 is used as the suction disc air source. The direct-current vacuum pump 8 and the gas path assembly 10 are integrated in the square connecting member at the end of the fifth shaft, and the power supply line deployed in the mechanical arm provides power for the direct-current vacuum pump 8. When powered on, the direct-current vacuum pump 8 can generate a negative pressure in the range of-80kPa to-200kPa, which is connected to the suction disc set 9 through the pipeline in the gas path assembly 10, so as to generate suction force. The suction disc set 9 is installed at the front end of the pneumatic connecting member 7 through the hole position, and is in elastic contact with the object to be sucked.
