Then, the robotic arm can be adjusted so that the end joint of the robotic arm is in a horizontal state. Then, through system control, the drive shaft is driven to rotate, which drives the second bevel gear to rotate, and in turn drives the first bevel gear and the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the eccentric wheel to rotate. During the rotation, the eccentric wheel periodically pushes the extrusion rod upward. The extrusion rod compresses the spring and moves upward. The other end of the extrusion rod squeezes the lubricating oil in the corrugated extrusion bottle to the meshing part between the first and second bevel gears, so that the dripping lubricating oil evenly covers the rotating gears. There is no need to disassemble the machine, thereby improving the convenience of lubrication. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0015] Example 1
[0016] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention discloses a robotic arm joint assembly, the technical solution of which includes a robotic arm end joint 1. The robotic arm end joint 1 includes a U-shaped connector 11. A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably mounted in the center hole at the right end of the U-shaped connector 11. A first bevel gear 13 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the rotating shaft 12. The rear edge of the first bevel gear 13 meshes with the teeth of a second bevel gear 14. The second bevel gear 14 is fixedly mounted on a drive shaft 15. The front and rear ends of the drive shaft 15 are respectively rotatably inserted into the front and rear side walls of the U-shaped connector 11. An eccentric wheel 16 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft to the right of the first bevel gear 13. A groove 111 is formed in the middle of the upper side wall of the U-shaped connector 11. A cover plate 2 is installed in the groove 111. A through hole 21 is formed in the right rear corner of the cover plate 2. A limiting ring 22 is fixedly connected to the lower plate wall of the through hole 21. An external threaded tube 23 is fixedly connected to the upper plate wall of the through hole 21. 3. A cap 24 is screwed on, and an adjusting screw 25 is screwed into the center opening of the cap 24. The upper end of the adjusting screw 25 is fixedly connected to a handle 26, and the lower end of the adjusting screw 25 is fixedly connected to a top plate 27. A corrugated extrusion bottle 3 is movably inserted into the tube wall of the lower part of the cap 24. The height of the limiting ring 22 is one-fifth of the height of the corrugated extrusion bottle 3 in its normal state. The lower end of the corrugated extrusion bottle 3 is connected to a conduit 31. The lower end of the conduit 31 is located directly above the meshing part of the teeth of the first bevel gear 13 and the second bevel gear 14. The conduit 31 is movably inserted into the rear opening of the extrusion rod 4. A guide post 5 is fixedly connected to the upper front end of the extrusion rod 4. A limiting nut 51 is screwed onto one end of the guide post 5 located on the upper part of the cover plate 2. The lower front end of the extrusion rod 4 is in contact with the upper end of the eccentric wheel 16. A spring 6 is fitted on the guide post 5. The guide post above the spring 6 movably passes through the right edge of the cover plate 2.
[0017] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When lubrication is required, rotating the handle 26 will drive the adjusting screw 25 to rotate, causing the top plate 27 to move to the lower position. Then, the robotic arm will be adjusted so that the end joint 1 of the robotic arm is in a horizontal state. Then, through system control, the drive shaft 15 will be driven to rotate, which will drive the second bevel gear 14 to rotate, which in turn will drive the first bevel gear 13 and the rotating shaft 12 to rotate. The rotating shaft 12 will drive the eccentric wheel 16 to rotate. During the rotation, the eccentric wheel 16 will periodically push the extrusion rod 4 upward. The extrusion rod 4 will compress the spring 6 and move upward. The other end presses the corrugated extrusion bottle 3 upward. The upward movement of the corrugated extrusion bottle 3 is blocked by the top plate 27. The lubricating oil in the corrugated extrusion bottle 3 is squeezed through the conduit 31 to the meshing part between the first bevel gear 13 and the second bevel gear 14, so that the dripping lubricating oil evenly covers the rotating first bevel gear 13 and the second bevel gear 14. After maintenance is completed, the handle 26 can be rotated again to move the top plate 27 to the upper position so that it no longer blocks the upward movement of the corrugated extrusion bottle 3, thereby preventing the lubricating oil in the corrugated extrusion bottle 3 from being squeezed out during the operation of the robotic arm.
