[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a device for assisting in the debugging of a robot's tool changing disc. It should be noted that currently, after the relevant robot is installed, it is generally necessary to debug the tool changing disc, that is, to connect the robot end to different tool ends. The traditional debugging method is generally manually controlled, which makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the docking between the robot end and different tool ends, resulting in low debugging efficiency. Furthermore, inaccurate docking may also cause damage to the robot end or the tool end. The device of this embodiment is used to assist in the debugging of the robot's tool changing disc by installing and connecting it to the tool changing discs on both sides. The device includes a male connecting disc 100 and a female connecting disc 200. The outer contour lines of the male connecting disc 100 and the female connecting disc 200 along the central axis can be the same. The male connecting disc 100 is used to install on the tool-side tool changing disc, and the female connecting disc 200 is used to install on the robot-side tool changing disc. The docking of the male connecting disc 100 and the female connecting disc 200 is achieved through the robot end.

[0042] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the connecting male disk 100 includes a first feature surface 110 and a second feature surface 120. The first feature surface 110 is provided with a positioning blind hole 111 that is off-center from the central axis. The number of positioning blind holes 111 can be one. A recessed groove 112 is provided on the first feature surface 110, offset from the positioning blind hole 111. A first buffer block 1121 is provided in the recessed groove 112. The first buffer block 1121 is used for buffering the connection between the male disk 100 and the connecting female disk 200.

[0043] Optionally, the first buffer block 1121 can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber. The specific shape of the first buffer block 1121 can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here. The number of the first buffer blocks 1121 can be two, three or four, which can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here. However, it should be noted that one side surface of the first buffer block 1121 protrudes from the first feature surface 110. Only in this way can the buffering effect of connecting the male disk 100 and the female disk 200 be achieved.

[0044] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 As shown, a positioning connecting ring 130 is provided on the second feature surface 120. The positioning connecting ring 130 is shaped as a sleeve protruding from the second feature surface 120. A first adjusting ball 131 is provided on the side surface of the positioning connecting ring 130, and a first magnetic suction group 133 is provided on the top surface of the positioning connecting ring 130. The first adjusting ball 131 is threadedly connected to the positioning connecting ring 130, and the first adjusting ball 131 protrudes from the outer surface of the screw of the positioning connecting ring 130. An avoidance through hole 132 is provided on the side surface of the positioning connecting ring 130 for adjusting the first adjusting ball 131.

[0045] Optionally, the clearance through hole 132 is provided through the thickness direction of the positioning connecting ring 130. Each clearance through hole 132 has a corresponding first adjusting ball 131. The central axis of each clearance through hole 132 is collinear with the central axis of the corresponding first adjusting ball 131 and may intersect with the central axis of the positioning connecting ring 130.

[0046] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5As shown, the connecting mother plate 200 is installed on the robot's side gun changing plate. The connecting mother plate 200 includes a third feature surface 210 and a fourth feature surface 220. The third feature surface 210 is provided with a first positioning pin 211 that mates with the positioning blind hole 111. The fourth feature surface 220 is provided with a connecting groove 221. The bottom of the connecting groove 221 is provided with a second magnetic suction group 223 and the inner surface is provided with a second adjusting ball 222. The second adjusting ball 222 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 221. The fourth feature surface 220 is provided with a plurality of second positioning pins 224 around the surface of the groove 221 and a second buffer block 225 is provided at the edge of the surface of the fourth feature surface 220.

[0047] Optionally, the number of second positioning pins 224 can be three. The second positioning pins 224 are used for positioning connection with the robot side gun changing disc end. The second buffer block 225 is provided on the surface of the fourth feature surface 220. The second buffer block 225 can be made of elastic material and the number can be two. It is used for buffering when connecting the robot side gun changing disc end. The connecting groove 221 is provided for connection.

[0048] It should be noted that the structure of the second adjusting ball 222 can be the same as that of the first adjusting ball 131, and each magnet in the second magnetic group 223 can have the same structure as each magnet in the first magnetic group 133.

[0049] Please see Figure 7 The first adjusting ball 131 or the second adjusting ball 222 can be a screw structure with balls. The screw is threaded and fixed to the connecting female disc 200 or the connecting male disc 100. Taking the first adjusting ball 131 as an example, by setting the avoidance through hole 132, the additional adjusting tool is pressed against one end of the first adjusting ball 131 for adjustment, so as to adjust the position of the changing disc of the connecting male disc 100 and the tool end.

[0050] Please see Figure 8 For the magnet blocks of the first magnetic attraction group 133 and the second magnetic attraction group 223, their shape can be set as cylindrical. Taking the magnet block 1331 of the first magnetic attraction group 133 as an example, a tapered hole 1332 can be provided on one surface of the magnet block 1331. In this way, the first magnetic attraction group 133 facilitates the connection and positioning calibration of the public disk 100 and the tool-side gun changing disk.
