[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0032] This utility model provides a robotic arm structure for CNC machine tool modification, including a support base 1, a positioning frame 2, a positioning auxiliary mechanism, a rotating frame 4, a connecting arm 5, and an operating frame 6. The positioning frame 2 is inserted into the outer side of the top end face of the support base 1. The positioning auxiliary mechanism is disposed between the support base 1 and the positioning frame 2, and includes a transmission shaft 3, which is rotatably connected to the inner end of the support base 1. The rotating frame 4 is rotatably disposed on the outer side of the top end face of the positioning frame 2. The connecting arm 5 is hinged to the outer side of the rotating frame 4, and the support shaft in the connecting arm 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the drive motor. The operating frame 6 is hinged to the outer end of the connecting arm 5, and a connecting shaft 601 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the operating frame 6. A detection auxiliary mechanism is provided between the connecting arm 5 and the connecting shaft 601, and includes an electric push rod 7, which is rotatably disposed on the inner side of the upper end of the connecting arm 5, and the outer end of the electric push rod 7 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer side of the drive shaft of the transmission motor.

[0033] The bottom end face of the positioning frame 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 201, which is a convex block structure.

[0034] The positioning auxiliary mechanism also includes: a transmission disk 301, a transmission block 302, and a positioning block 303. The transmission disk 301 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer side of the top end face of the transmission shaft 3. There are multiple transmission blocks 302, which are threadedly connected to the outer side of the transmission disk 301. The transmission disk 301 and the transmission blocks 302 together form a lead screw and nut transmission pair. There are multiple positioning blocks 303, which are fixedly connected to the outer side of the top end face of the transmission block 302. All positioning blocks 303 are arc-shaped plate structures.

[0035] Among them, multiple limiting auxiliary grooves 101 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the top end face of the support base 1;

[0036] A limiting post 307 is fixedly connected to the top end face of the transmission block 302, and the limiting post 307 is aligned with the limiting auxiliary groove 101.

[0037] The positioning auxiliary mechanism also includes a drive worm wheel 304, a drive rod 305, and a drive worm 306. The drive worm wheel 304 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom end face of the transmission shaft 3. The drive rod 305 is rotatably disposed on the outer side of the drive worm wheel 304. The drive worm 306 is coaxially fixedly connected to the inner end face of the drive rod 305. The drive worm 306 and the drive worm wheel 304 mesh with each other. The drive worm wheel 304 and the drive worm 306 together constitute a worm gear transmission mechanism.

[0038] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0039] In use, after the mounting base 201 is inserted into the support base 1, the drive rod 305 is pushed to rotate. When the drive rod 305 rotates, the drive worm 306 pushes the drive worm wheel 304 and the transmission shaft 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the transmission shaft 3, the transmission disc 301 pushes multiple transmission blocks 302 to slide inward simultaneously. When the transmission blocks 302 slide inward simultaneously, the positioning block 303 clamps and positions the mounting base 201, realizing the quick installation and positioning between the positioning frame 2 and the support base 1. It eliminates the need for operators to rotate multiple bolts sequentially to achieve the positioning and installation between the positioning frame 2 and the support base 1. The limiting post 307 and the limiting auxiliary groove 101 guide and limit the sliding of the positioning block 303 and the transmission block 302.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown:

[0042] Among them, the outer side of the inner end face of the electric actuator 7 is slidably connected to the piston rod 701; the outer end of the piston rod 701 is coaxially fixedly connected to the drive gear 702.

[0043] A driven gear 703 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft 601. When the driving gear 702 and the driven gear 703 are aligned, the driven gear 703 and the driving gear 702 mesh with each other, and the driving gear 702 and the driven gear 703 together constitute a gear transmission mechanism.

[0044] Among them, an incomplete gear 704 is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer end face of the connecting shaft 601. When the driving gear 702 and the incomplete gear 704 are aligned, the incomplete gear 704 and the driving gear 702 mesh with each other.

[0045] A limiting protrusion 705 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the piston rod 701; a limiting groove is provided in the electric actuator 7 at the alignment position with the limiting protrusion 705.

[0046] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0047] In use, the clamping control frame is installed on the outer end of the operating frame 6. After the replacement part is clamped by the clamping control frame, when the electric push rod 7 is started, the piston rod 701 slides outward. After the drive gear 702 and the incomplete gear 704 are aligned, the transmission motor is started. When the transmission motor drives the electric push rod 7 and the drive gear 702 to rotate, it realizes the pushing assistance of the incomplete gear 704 and the connecting shaft 601. During the continuous rotation of the electric push rod 7 and the drive gear 702, the operating frame 6 and the replacement part reciprocate. During the frequent reciprocating swing of the operating frame 6 and the replacement part, the clamping effect of the part is detected. When the part is still firmly clamped after multiple swings, the piston rod 701 is retracted, so that the drive gear 702 and the driven gear 703 are aligned. When the drive gear 702 rotates, it pushes the driven gear 703 and the operating frame 6 to rotate, realizing the lifting and transfer of the replacement part.
