Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial robot technology, and in particular to an industrial robot with force feedback function. Background Technology
[0002] An industrial robot is a multi-jointed manipulator or multi-degree-of-freedom machine device designed for industrial applications. It can automatically perform tasks and relies on its own power and control capabilities to achieve various functions.
[0003] An industrial robot with force feedback is a robot system that can sense and provide real-time feedback on the interaction force with the external environment. It has a wide range of applications and plays an important role in industrial production. For example, it can automatically adjust the gripping force according to the weight and shape of the material, so as to avoid the material falling or being damaged during the handling process, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of handling.
[0004] Existing industrial robots with force feedback sense force information through force sensors, which is then processed by the control system to make decisions based on preset rules and algorithms. The actuators then perform the corresponding actions. However, gripping and handling mainly rely on a few contact points between the grippers and the material to fix the material. During the handling process, when encountering vibration, acceleration, deceleration, or external interference, the material is prone to shaking, rotating, or even falling off due to uneven force. Existing technology improves the mechanical structure of the robot by adding supports and reinforcing ribs to enhance the structure's resistance to torsion and bending. However, the improved mechanical structure, due to the increased weight or moving parts, requires the drive to withstand a greater load, resulting in a decrease in gripping force.
