Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotic arm technology, specifically relating to a safe robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] A robotic arm is an automated device that mimics certain movements and functions of a human hand and arm to grasp, move objects, or operate tools according to a fixed program. Robotic arms were the earliest industrial robots and the first modern robots to emerge. They can replace heavy human labor to achieve mechanization and automation of production, and can operate in hazardous environments to protect human safety. Therefore, they are widely used in machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, electronics, light industry, and nuclear energy sectors.

[0003] Existing safety robotic arms still have some shortcomings. When most robotic arms are gripping and transferring workpieces, the gripping force of the robotic arm is not strong or it becomes loose during the workpiece transfer process, and the workpiece is easy to fall to the ground and be damaged. To address this, we propose a safety robotic arm. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the bottom surface of the fixed plate is uniformly equipped with multiple sets of uprights, and the bottom of each set of uprights is fixedly connected with a U-shaped piece. The bottom output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting shaft.

[0007] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting shaft, and multiple sets of crossbars are evenly distributed around the outer side of the base. The ends of the crossbars are rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod through a first fixed shaft.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the second connecting rod via a first fixed shaft, and the end of the upper connecting rod is rotatably disposed inside the U-shaped piece via a first bolt.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the lower connecting rod is rotatably disposed inside the U-shaped piece by a second bolt, and the ends of the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod are rotatably connected to one side of the clamping arm by a second fixed shaft.

[0010] Preferably, a protective pad is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the clamping arm.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] The six-jaw gripper design ensures the stability and accuracy of workpiece clamping, avoids over-clamping, reduces workpiece deformation, and ensures a balanced distribution of clamping force. The clamping force of each jaw is equal, and the combined clamping vector is consistent, thus determining the clamping center and ensuring stability and accuracy during the clamping process. When machining thin-walled parts, the six-jaw gripper can guarantee high roundness, reduce machining deformation, and improve machining accuracy. Attached Figure Description
