Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robot equipment, and specifically relates to a dual-station switching industrial robot. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial robots in automobile manufacturing are highly automated, programmable mechanical devices capable of mimicking certain human movements and functions to complete various complex tasks on the automobile production line. However, industrial robots also have certain limitations in the automotive manufacturing field. For example, when switching between different work processes, additional time is often required to adjust posture, change tools, or wait for materials to be moved, which significantly reduces production efficiency. The root cause is that in a single-station mode, robots cannot prepare for the next task in parallel. Typically, companies address this by increasing the number of robots or adopting faster single-station robots. However, the former significantly increases equipment procurement and maintenance costs, while the latter is not only expensive but also offers limited performance improvements, failing to fundamentally solve the time loss problem associated with switching between multiple tasks. Furthermore, in terms of space utilization, too many robots can lead to crowded workshop layouts, further affecting the smoothness of the production process. Therefore, a new structure is needed to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, a threaded hole is provided at each of the four corners of the surface of the base plate. A rotating seat is installed at the center of the upper surface of the base plate. A stepper motor is installed inside the rotating seat. The output shaft of the stepper motor passes through the upper surface of the rotating seat and is connected to the lower surface of the rotating seat.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, two stepper motors are symmetrically installed inside the rotating base two. The output shafts of the stepper motors two pass through the left and right surfaces of the rotating base two. The shaft arm one includes a shaft seat one and a shaft arm body one.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dual-station switching industrial robot, including: a base assembly and a robotic arm assembly 200. The robotic arm assembly 200 for operation is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base assembly. The base assembly includes a base plate 100 for mounting a rotating seat 110. A rotating seat 200 is mounted on the upper surface of the rotating seat 110. A robotic arm assembly 200 is mounted on the left and right surfaces of the rotating seat 200. The robotic arm assembly 200 includes a first shaft arm, a second shaft arm, and a third shaft arm 250. The first shaft arm, the second shaft arm, and the third shaft arm 250 are hinged to each other. A working head 260 is mounted on one end of the third shaft arm 250.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As the first embodiment of this utility model: a threaded hole is provided at each of the four corners of the surface of the base plate 100. A rotating seat 110 is installed at the center of the upper surface of the base plate 100. A stepper motor is installed inside the rotating seat 110. The output shaft of the stepper motor 1 passes through the upper surface of the rotating seat 110 and is connected to the lower surface of the rotating seat 120.
[0022] Two stepper motors are symmetrically installed inside the rotating base 2 120. The output shaft of the stepper motor 2 passes through the left and right surfaces of the rotating base 2 120. The shaft arm 1 includes a shaft seat 1 210 and a shaft arm body 1 220.
[0023] When in use, the user first fixes the device using the base plate 100. After fixing, the user can connect the device to the PLC control program, so that the device can rotate and be controlled according to the user's preset process for use (the control program is existing technology, and its specific connection process and working principle are not described here). At this time, the rotating seat 110 and rotating seat 220 on the upper surface of the base plate 100 will rotate according to the program, thereby driving the two sets of robotic arm assemblies 200 connected to the rotating seat 220 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of free-moving working head in conjunction with the robotic arm assembly 200 itself. Because the design of the rotating seat 110 and rotating seat 220 allows the robotic arm to quickly rotate and switch work positions, the time for the robotic arm to move between different work positions is reduced, further improving production efficiency.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As a second embodiment of the present utility model: a shaft seat 210 is rotatably mounted on the left and right surfaces of the rotating seat 2 120 via a stepper motor 2. The shaft seat 210 is connected to the shaft arm body 220. The shaft arm 2 includes a shaft seat 230 and a shaft arm body 240.
[0025] A shaft arm body 220 is mounted on a shaft seat 230 at one end away from the shaft seat 210. The shaft seat 230 is connected to the shaft arm body 240. A shaft arm 3 250 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the shaft arm body 240 away from the shaft seat 230.
[0026] The working head 260 is installed at the end of the third arm 250 away from the second arm body 240. The two sets of robotic arm components 200 have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically to each other.
[0027] The connections of shaft arm one, shaft arm two, and shaft arm three 250 are all connected by motor rotation;
[0028] When the robotic arm assembly 200 is rotated and moved according to the operation steps of the first embodiment, the user can control the motors connected between the first, second, and third axle arms 250 according to the actual control program, so that the first, second, and third axle arms 250 can move (the connection method and structure of the motors with the first, second, and third axle arms 250 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here). Since the two robotic arms can perform different operations simultaneously, the processing time of a single workpiece is greatly shortened, and the overall production efficiency is improved. When one robotic arm assembly 200 is working, the other robotic arm assembly 200 can move to the next working position or perform preparation work, reducing the waiting and idle time of the robotic arms, making the production process more compact and efficient.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
