Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot connector technology, specifically a 360-degree rotating robot connector. Background Technology

[0002] A robot is a machine system that can perform tasks automatically. It is designed and functions to mimic certain human behaviors or ways of thinking, but it can also operate independently without human intervention. They are widely used in various industries such as industrial production, service industry, education and entertainment, and scientific research.

[0003] Current robot connectors typically involve direct connection, allowing the connector to be installed through physical contact with the robot components. However, if the rotation angle at the connection point is too large, it may deform or be damaged due to excessive torque. Therefore, we propose a robot rotary connector to address the aforementioned issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a 360-degree rotating robot connector, which, through the cooperation between the circuit board, conductive posts, and shrink-fit hardware, ensures that the installed socket core maintains circuit continuity during rotation, while preventing damage due to excessive torque.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a 360-degree rotating robot connector is provided, including a mounting base. A socket housing is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting base. A mounting plate is provided on the inner side of the socket housing. A circuit board is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate. Three circuit boards are arranged sequentially on the central surface away from the mounting plate. A conductive plate is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate away from the circuit board. Three conductive plates are arranged sequentially and electrically connected to the circuit board. A conductive post is fixedly connected to the inner center of the mounting base. Three metal telescopic tubes are fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting base away from the center, corresponding to the conductive plate. A nut is threadedly connected to the outer side of the socket housing. A socket core is provided inside the nut. Four shrink-fit metal tubes are fixedly connected to the inner side of the socket core, distributed at the center of the socket core and on the outer side near the center of the socket core. By setting up the cooperation between the circuit board, the metal telescopic component, and the shrinkable metal tube, the metal telescopic component and the shrinkable metal tube will maintain continuous contact when the installed socket is rotated, so that the circuit can always be maintained after rotation.

[0006] According to the 360-degree rotating robot connector, the shrinkable metal tube corresponds sequentially to the conductive post and the circuit board, and the shrinkable metal tube contacts the conductive post and the circuit board during use. By setting the shrinkable metal tube to contact the conductive post and the circuit board, current is continuously connected when the shrinkable metal tube rotates.

[0007] According to the 360-degree rotating robot connector, a mounting post is fixedly connected to the inner center of the mounting base, and the inner side of the mounting post is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conductive post and the metal telescopic tube. By setting the mutual cooperation between the mounting post, the conductive post, and the metal telescopic tube, the mounting post further limits the position of the conductive post and the metal telescopic tube, making the operation of the conductive post and the metal telescopic tube more stable.

[0008] According to the 360-degree rotating robot connector, the outer side of the mounting plate is provided with a limiting groove, and the inner side of the socket housing is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the limiting groove. By providing the limiting groove and the protrusion on the inner side of the socket housing, the mounting plate installed on the inner side of the socket housing is restricted, preventing the mounting plate from rotating.

[0009] According to the 360-degree rotating robot connector, the conductive plate is in contact with the surface of the metal telescopic tube, and the end of the conductive post and the metal telescopic tube away from the conductive plate extends to the inner side of the mounting base away from the socket housing. By setting the conductive plate to contact the surface of the metal telescopic tube, the metal telescopic tube is always kept in electrical connection with the conductive plate.

[0010] According to the 360-degree rotating robot connector, the nut is made of metal, and its outer surface is provided with anti-slip stripes. By providing anti-slip stripes on the outer surface of the nut, the friction force is increased when the user rotates the nut, making it more convenient for the user to rotate the nut.

[0011] According to the 360-degree rotating robot connector, the end of the socket core near the mounting base contacts the inner surface of the nut away from the mounting base, and the contact surfaces of the socket core and the nut are in contact. By setting the mutual cooperation between the nut and the socket core, the rotation of the socket core inside the nut is made more stable.

[0012] According to the 360-degree rotating robot connector, the surface of the mounting plate fits into the inner side of the socket housing, and the contact surface between the mounting plate and the socket housing is set to a smooth surface. By setting the surface of the mounting plate to fit into the inner side of the socket housing, the mounting plate is installed more stably inside the socket housing.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up the cooperation between the circuit board, the metal telescopic parts and the shrinkable metal tube, the metal telescopic parts and the shrinkable metal tube will be in continuous contact when the socket is rotated after installation, so that the circuit can always be maintained after rotation.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 7The present invention relates to a 360-degree rotating robot connector, comprising a mounting base 1, a socket housing 2 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting base 1, a mounting plate 6 disposed on the inner side of the socket housing 2, a circuit board 7 fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 6, three circuit boards 7 being arranged sequentially on the central surface away from the mounting plate 6, a conductive plate 12 fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 6 away from the circuit board 7, three conductive plates 12 being arranged sequentially and electrically connected to the circuit board 7, a conductive post 4 fixedly connected to the inner center of the mounting base 1, and a metal telescopic tube 5 fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting base 1 away from the center, three metal telescopic tubes 5 being arranged corresponding to the conductive plate 12, a nut 8 threadedly connected to the outer side of the socket housing 2, a socket core 10 disposed on the inner side of the nut 8, and a shrink metal tube 11 fixedly connected to the inner side of the socket core 10, four shrink metal tubes 11 being arranged and distributed at the center of the socket core 10 and on the outer side near the center of the socket core 10.

[0027] The end of the socket core 10 near the mounting base 1 contacts the inner surface of the nut 8 away from the mounting base 1. The contact surfaces of the socket core 10 and the nut 8 are in contact. The surface of the mounting plate 6 is in contact with the inner side of the socket housing 2. The contact surfaces of the mounting plate 6 and the socket housing 2 are set to be smooth.

[0028] The conductive plate 12 is in contact with the surface of the metal telescopic tube 5. The conductive post 4 and the end of the metal telescopic tube 5 away from the conductive plate 12 extend to the inside of the mounting base 1 away from the socket housing 2. The nut 8 is made of metal and has anti-slip stripes on its outer surface.

[0029] The shrinkable metal tube 11 corresponds to the conductive post 4 and the circuit board 7 in sequence. When in use, the shrinkable metal tube 11 contacts the conductive post 4 and the circuit board 7. The mounting post 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner side of the mounting base 1. The inner side of the mounting post 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conductive post 4 and the metal telescopic tube 5. The outer side of the mounting plate 6 is provided with a limit groove 9. The inner side of the socket housing 2 is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the limit groove 9.

[0030] Working principle: In use, first assemble the device. The user picks up the mounting base 1 and rotates the limiting groove 9 until it aligns with the inner protrusion of the socket housing 2. Then, the mounting plate 6 is snapped into place inside the socket housing 2. At this point, the limiting groove 9 will contact the inner protrusion of the socket housing 2. Simultaneously, the conductive post 4 inside the mounting base 1 will pass through the inner side of the mounting plate 6, and the metal telescopic tube 5 will also contact the conductive plate 12. Next, the nut 8 is fitted onto the outside of the socket core 10, and after fitting the socket core 10, the nut 8 is installed on the outside of the socket housing 2. Rotating the nut 8 allows it to move along the outer edge of the socket housing 2. The threaded installation is performed, at which point the retractable metal tube 11 will come into contact with the circuit board 7, thus completing the assembly. After assembly, the metal telescopic tube 5 and the conductive post 4 are connected to one side of the robot's mounting part. After the connection is completed, the retractable metal tube 11 is connected to the other side of the robot. If the robot needs to rotate after the connection is completed, the robot's power is turned on. After starting, the socket core 10 will rotate inside the nut 8. When the socket core 10 rotates, the retractable metal tube 11 will slide continuously in contact with the surface of the circuit board 7, so that the robot will not lose power or be damaged due to excessive torque when rotating.

[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
