Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0027] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this application involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0029] See attached document Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this application provides a novel foldable and retractable multi-functional integrated industrial robotic arm, including a chassis 1, a multi-stage retractable support arm mounted on the chassis 1, and different types of tool heads 6 that can be replaced and installed on the support arm. By replacing different types of tool heads 6 on the support arm, the robotic arm can achieve multiple functions.

[0030] Specifically:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the support arm includes a base 2, an upper arm 3, a lower arm 4, and a secondary arm 5. The base 2, upper arm 3, and lower arm 4 all employ a shell-like structure. The base 2 is mounted on a chassis 1, similar to a traditional robotic arm. The base 2 is driven by a rotating mechanism mounted on the chassis 1, enabling the entire support arm to rotate. The upper arm 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 2, the lower arm 4 is rotatably mounted on the upper arm 3, the secondary arm 5 is rotatably mounted on the lower arm 4, and the tool head 6 is mounted on the lower arm 4. When the secondary arm 5 rotates around the lower arm 4, it can drive the tool head 6 to embed into the middle shell of the lower arm 4, forming a first-stage folding mechanism. Figure 8 As shown, similarly, when the auxiliary arm 5 and tool head 6 are embedded in the intermediate shell of the lower arm 4, they can be embedded in the intermediate shell of the upper arm 3 as the lower arm 4 rotates around the upper arm 3, forming a two-stage fold. Figure 9 As shown in the diagram, when the tool head 6, auxiliary arm 5, and lower arm 4 are embedded in the intermediate shell of the upper arm 3, they can be embedded into the intermediate shell of the base 2 as the upper arm 3 rotates around the base 2, forming a fully folded shape. Figure 10 As shown, this forms the folding and storage of the robotic arm. The joints use electric actuators to achieve flexible folding and unfolding operations. If the tool head 6 is too large to be inserted into the lower arm 4, the tool head 6 can be removed before folding.

[0032] In the above, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the tool head 6 includes a two-jaw manipulator 601, a four-jaw manipulator 602, and a welding inspection probe 603. Of course, other components can be added as needed. Similarly, as a tool head 6, whether it's the two-jaw manipulator 601, the four-jaw manipulator 602, the welding inspection probe 603, or any other structure, it has a mating part 8 for assembly with the auxiliary arm 5. The auxiliary arm 5 has a connecting part 7 that mates with the mating part 8. Taking the auxiliary arm 5 and the two-jaw manipulator 601 as an example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary arm 5 has an integrally formed connecting part 7, which includes a pair of insert plates 701. The insert plates 701 are provided with elastic buckles and magnetic suction components 704. The two-jaw manipulator 601 has an integrally formed docking part 8. The docking part 8 is provided with a slot 803 for inserting the insert plates 701. The slot 803 is provided with a buckle cavity 801 that cooperates with the elastic buckles and a magnetic positioning component 802 that attracts the magnetic suction component 704. By combining magnetic adsorption and slot positioning, the tool head 6 and the auxiliary arm 5 can be detachably connected. Different tool heads 6 can be installed on the manipulator as needed, making the manipulator multifunctional and solving the problem of the single function of traditional manipulators.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the insert plate 701 has a cavity, and the elastic fastener is disposed in the cavity and can extend and retract into the cavity. The elastic fastener includes a spring 702 fixed to the bottom of the cavity and a positioning steel ball 703 fixedly integrated with the spring 702. The fastener cavity 801 is used to accommodate the positioning steel ball 703. After the connecting part 7 and the mating part 8 are assembled, the insert plate 701 is inserted into the slot 803, the positioning steel ball 703 is embedded in the fastener cavity 801, and the magnetic suction member 704 is attracted and fixed to the magnetic positioning member 802. The magnetic suction member 704 can be a magnet or a magnetic structure, and the magnetic positioning member 802 can be a magnet or a metal that attracts the magnet.

[0034] In summary, the embodiments of this application provide a novel foldable and retractable multifunctional integrated industrial robotic arm. It has a folding function, which greatly reduces the space occupied. It can be flexibly deployed in limited workshop space, improving space utilization. It can be equipped with different types of tool heads, realizing the multifunctionality of the robotic arm, reducing equipment procurement costs, and quickly changing tool heads to improve production efficiency. It achieves multiple uses in one machine, improving production efficiency and equipment management convenience.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
