[0021] like Figures 1 to 4The illustrated robotic arm device includes a base 1, a steering seat 2, a first support arm 3, a second support arm 4, and a steering connection mechanism 5. A first drive mechanism is mounted on the steering seat 2, which is rotatably mounted on the base 1. The first drive mechanism drives the steering seat 2 to rotate relative to the base 1. A gantry frame 6 is mounted on the steering seat 2.

A fifth drive mechanism is installed on the steering seat 2 and is used to drive the first support arm 3 to rotate. Specifically, the base 1 of this utility model is mounted on an external frame or equipment. The first drive mechanism can drive the steering seat 2 to rotate relative to the base 1, simultaneously driving the first support arm 3, the second support arm 4, and the steering connection structure to rotate. When the first support arm 3 needs to rotate, the fifth drive mechanism drives the first support arm 3 to rotate relative to the gantry 6, simultaneously driving the second support arm 4 and the steering connection structure to move. When the second support arm 4 needs to rotate, the second drive mechanism drives the second support arm 4 to rotate, simultaneously driving the steering connection mechanism 5 to move. When the steering connection mechanism 5 is in operation, the third drive mechanism can drive the steering bracket 8 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 7, and the mounting bracket 9 is used to connect with external devices or tools. The fourth drive mechanism can drive the mounting bracket 9 to rotate.

[0022] In this embodiment, a fixed guide gear 10 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The first drive mechanism includes a first drive motor 11 and a first drive gear 12. The output end of the first drive motor 11 is driven by the first drive gear 12. The first drive gear 12 meshes with the fixed guide gear 10. The first drive gear 12 is located on one side of the outer circumference of the fixed guide gear 10. The fixed guide gear 10 and the steering seat 2 are coaxially arranged on the base 1. Specifically, in order to realize the rotation of the steering seat 2, a fixed guide gear 10 is fixed on the base 1, and the first drive mechanism consists of the first drive motor 11 and the first drive gear 12. The output end of the motor is connected to the drive gear, and the drive gear meshes with the fixed guide gear 10 on the base 1. This design ensures the stable rotation of the steering seat 2. At the same time, due to the high efficiency and accuracy of gear transmission, the steering action is guaranteed to be smooth and precise. Through such a gear system, the robotic arm can complete a large-angle steering under a small torque, enhancing the system's response speed and control accuracy.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism includes a second drive motor 13. A support frame 14 is mounted on the other end of the first arm 3. The second drive motor 13 is mounted on the support frame 14, and one end of the second arm 4 is rotatably connected to the support frame 14. The output end of the second drive motor 13 is drivenly connected to one end of the second arm 4. Specifically, for the rotation of the second arm 4, the second drive mechanism includes a second drive motor 13, which is mounted on a support frame 14 located at the end of the first arm 3. The motor's output directly drives one end of the second arm 4, causing it to rotate relative to the first arm 3. This mechanism not only simplifies the power transmission path but also improves energy conversion efficiency and reduces unnecessary energy loss. Simultaneously, the direct drive method makes the movement of the second arm 4 faster and smoother, adapting to rapidly changing work requirements.

[0024] In this embodiment, the third drive mechanism includes a third drive motor 15, a second drive gear 16, and a swing gear 17. The swing gear 17 is mounted on one side of the steering bracket 8 and rotatably connected to the connecting frame 7. The second drive gear 16 is meshed with the swing gear 17 for transmission. The third drive motor 15 is mounted on the connecting frame 7, and the output end of the third drive motor 15 is connected to the second drive gear 16. The fourth drive mechanism includes a fourth drive motor 18, which drives the mounting bracket 9 to rotate. The mounting bracket 9 has multiple mounting holes 19. Specifically, the third drive mechanism controls the swing of the steering bracket 8. It includes a third drive motor 15, a second drive gear 16, and a swing gear 17. These components work together to enable the steering bracket 8 to swing at a predetermined angle on the connecting frame 7. Specifically, the third drive motor 15 drives the second drive gear 16, which in turn changes the angular position of the steering bracket 8 by meshing with the swing gear 17. This provides an additional degree of freedom, further enhancing the position adjustment capability of the robotic arm's end effector and supporting more complex tasks. The fourth drive mechanism is responsible for the rotation of the mounting bracket 9. Its core idea is to use the fourth drive motor 18 to directly drive the mounting bracket 9 to achieve precise positioning of tools or other loads. The multiple mounting holes 19 on the mounting bracket 9 allow for flexible configuration of different tools or accessories according to actual needs. This feature increases the versatility of the robotic arm's application scenarios, enabling it to handle everything from simple grasping to complex assembly operations.

[0025] In this embodiment, a reinforcing support rod 20 is provided on the steering seat 2, with both ends of the reinforcing support rod 20 connected to the steering seat 2 and the gantry 6, respectively. The fifth drive mechanism includes a hydraulic push rod 21, the rear end of which is rotatably mounted on the steering seat 2, and the output rod of the hydraulic push rod 21 is rotatably connected to the first support arm 3. Specifically, the reinforcing support rod 20 is provided to enhance the structural stability between the steering seat 2 and the gantry 6; this not only improves the rigidity of the overall structure but also ensures that the robotic arm maintains a good working condition even under heavy loads. A stable structure is crucial for maintaining the long-term operation of the robotic arm, helping to extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs. Furthermore, the fifth drive mechanism uses the hydraulic push rod 21 to drive the first support arm 3 to rotate relative to the gantry 6. The hydraulic system is characterized by its ability to provide powerful driving force and precise position control, which is particularly important for tasks requiring heavy-load handling or delicate operations. In addition, hydraulic drive can achieve stepless speed regulation, making the movement of the first support arm 3 smoother and more controllable, improving work safety and reliability.
