[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This utility model discloses a high-load, easy-to-maintain folding mechanical leg motion platform.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-9 A high-load, easy-to-maintain folding mechanical leg motion platform includes a base 9. A mounting seat 15 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 9. A lower arm 5 is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the mounting seat 15. An upper arm 3 is rotatably mounted on the end of the lower arm 5 away from the mounting seat. Both the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 5 have a hollow structure design, and the two arms have a waist-tight structure design, that is, the width of the middle of the arm is slightly smaller than the width of its two ends, and a round-head structure design. This structural design can save space, reduce weight, and is more aesthetically pleasing. An installation port is provided in the middle of the upper side of the upper arm 3 for installing the first servo motor 2. A first RV reducer 14 is fixedly installed inside the upper arm 3 at the end away from the lower arm 5. A load transfer flange 1 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first RV reducer 14. A first mounting groove is provided on the upper side of the upper arm 3 near the lower arm 5. A second RV reducer 7 is fixedly installed inside the first mounting groove. A second servo motor 4 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the second RV reducer 7. The output end of the second servo motor 4 is fixedly connected to the input end of the second RV reducer 7. A second mounting groove is provided on the upper side of the lower arm 5 at the end away from the upper arm 3. A third RV reducer 8 is fixedly installed inside the second mounting groove. A third servo motor 6 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the third RV reducer 8. The output end of the third servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the input end of the third RV reducer 8. Both the first and second mounting grooves have inclined surfaces on one side to facilitate the installation of the servo motors and to reduce the weight of the upper and lower arms themselves.

[0037] The third servo motor 6 and the third RV reducer 8 are installed in the second mounting slot. The lower arm 5 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 15 through the third RV reducer 8 installed in the second mounting slot. The second servo motor 4 and the second RV reducer 7 are installed in the first mounting slot. The upper arm 3 and the lower arm 5 are rotatably connected through the second RV reducer 7 installed in the first mounting slot.

[0038] The third servo motor 6 and the third RV reducer 8 are used to achieve the relative rotation of the lower arm 5 relative to the mounting base 15. The second servo motor 4 and the second RV reducer 7 are used to achieve the relative rotation of the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 5. The first servo motor 2 and the first RV reducer 14 are used to achieve the relative rotation of the upper arm 3 and the load transfer flange 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 1-9 The upper arm 3 has an internal transmission mechanism that drives the first RV reducer 14 to rotate. The transmission mechanism includes a synchronous belt 10 and synchronous pulleys 11. The two synchronous pulleys 11 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the output end of the first servo motor 2 and the input end of the first RV reducer 14. The synchronous belt 10 is tensioned and sleeved on the outer wall of the two synchronous pulleys 11. The transmission mechanism can also use a chain and sprockets. The chain drive is sleeved on the outer wall of the two sprockets, and the two sprockets are respectively fixedly sleeved on the corresponding output end of the first servo motor 2 and the input end of the first RV reducer 14.

[0040] Reference Figure 1-9 The first servo motor 2, the second servo motor 4, the third servo motor 6, the first RV reducer 14, the second RV reducer 7, and the third RV reducer 8 are all installed and fixed with bolts to their corresponding mounting positions. That is, bolt mounting positions are provided at the corresponding mounting slots and mounting openings of the mounting base and the upper and lower arms for bolt mounting and fixing to the corresponding servo motors or RV reducers.

[0041] Reference Figure 1-9 A motor mounting plate 13 is fixedly installed inside the upper arm 3. The first servo motor 2 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the upper arm 3 through the motor mounting plate 13. The motor mounting plate 13 is installed at the mounting port on the upper surface of the upper arm 3 through two protruding ears. The bottom of the motor mounting plate has a through hole through which the output shaft of the first servo motor 2 passes. An inspection port is provided on the lower side of the upper arm 3 to facilitate the inspection of the internal parts of the upper arm 3. The inspection port on the lower side of the upper arm 3 is arranged opposite to the mounting port on the upper side. A maintenance cover plate 12 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the inspection port to protect the internal parts of the inspection port.

[0042] Reference Figure 5In conjunction with the above, this folding robotic leg motion platform achieves a rotatable connection between the upper and lower arms and the mounting base through a rotating mechanism composed of a servo motor and an RV reducer. This enables the upper and lower arms of the robotic leg to rotate relative to the mounting base at any angle within a plane. Therefore, this platform is easy to store, saves installation space, and facilitates multi-station movement for load transfer.

[0043] In this invention, by installing the servo motor of the upper arm in the middle and driving the load transfer flange to rotate through the transmission mechanism, the end load of the upper arm can be reduced. This improves the operational stability of the upper arm and effectively increases its effective working load capacity. During use, because the reducer uses an RV reducer, the output shaft of the servo motor directly serves as the input shaft of the RV reducer, significantly reducing the overall height of the servo motor and RV reducer. Furthermore, during installation, the servo motor is installed from top to bottom, allowing for direct replacement of any damaged servo motors from top to bottom. The mechanical legs connect to the base, and a universal load transfer flange is designed to form a motion platform. Through connection interfaces, different requirements can be met.

[0044] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
