Attached Figure Description

[0024] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to help understand the purpose and advantages of this utility model, wherein:

[0025] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a robotic arm according to the present invention;

[0026] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first drive component, the second drive component, and the first movable base;

[0027] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged structural diagram of section A;

[0028] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the second movable seat. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the construction shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. These are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0031] This embodiment provides a robotic arm structure, referring to... Figures 1-4 The system includes a guide seat 1, a first movable seat 2, a mounting part 3, a first drive assembly 4, and a second drive assembly 5. The first movable seat 2 is movably disposed on the guide seat 1 along a first direction. The mounting part 3 is used to mount the robotic arm and is movably disposed on the first movable seat 2 along a second direction. The first drive assembly 4 is used to drive the first movable seat 2 to move along the first direction and / or rotate along its axis. The second drive assembly 5 is used to drive the mounting part 3 to move along the second direction or lock it.

[0032] In this embodiment, the operator can adjust the position of the robotic arm in the first direction and the second direction through the first drive component 4 and the second drive component 5. At the same time, the operator can also drive the robotic arm to rotate around the first moving seat 2 through the first drive component 4, which significantly improves the operational flexibility and space utilization of the robotic arm.

[0033] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Here, the first direction is the front-back direction of the structure, and the second direction is the up-down direction of the structure. Therefore, the positions of the robotic arm in the front-back direction and the up-down direction can be controlled by the first drive component 4, the second drive component 5, and the third drive component 9, respectively.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first drive assembly 4 includes a dual-head motor 41, a first rotating shaft 42 and a second rotating shaft 43 driven by the first dual-head motor 41, a rolling element 44 connected to the first rotating shaft 42, and a first connecting element 45 connected to the second rotating shaft 43. The guide seat 1 is provided with a rolling track 11 extending along the moving direction of the first movable seat 2. The rolling element 44 rolls with the rolling track 11. The first movable seat 2 is positioned on the first connecting element 45. The rolling track 11 is used to limit and guide the moving path of the rolling element 44. The rolling element 44 is a roller. Therefore, when the dual-head motor 41 drives the first rotating shaft 42 to rotate, the rolling element 44 connected to the first rotating shaft 42 rotates accordingly. The rolling element 44 contacts one side of the inner wall of the rolling track 11. When the rolling track 11 is fixed, the rolling element 44 moves along the extending direction of the rolling track 11, thereby driving the first movable seat 2 connected to the first connecting element to move accordingly, realizing the movement of the first movable seat 2 on the guide seat 1. When the dual-head motor 41 drives the second rotating shaft 43 to rotate, it drives the first connecting piece 45, which is connected to the second rotating shaft 43, to rotate, thereby driving the first movable seat 2 to rotate.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to improve the balance and stability of the structure, a counterweight 6 is provided on the end of the dual-head motor 41 or the first moving seat 2 near the dual-head motor 41, which can prevent the first moving seat 2 from being subjected to excessive force when the mounting part 3 moves away from the guide seat 1, thus affecting the stability of the structure.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first movable base 2 is provided with a second connector 21 at one end near the first connector 45. The first connector 45 and the second connector 21 are detachably connected and can be connected by bolts, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the first movable base 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second drive assembly 5 includes a ball screw 52 that moves the mounting part 3 and a driver 51 that drives the ball screw 52 to rotate. The ball screw 52 extends along the second direction and is connected to the mounting part 3 by a nut sleeve. The driver 51 can be a motor. When the driver 51 is working, it drives the ball screw 52 to rotate. When the ball screw 52 rotates, it drives the mounting part 3 to move linearly along the extension direction of the ball screw 52, ​​thereby realizing accurate movement of the mounting part 3 in the second direction. When the driver 51 stops working, the ball screw 52 stops rotating, thereby locking the position of the mounting part 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to limit the travel of the mounting part 3 in the second direction, a limiting member 53 is provided on the ball screw 52. The limiting member 53 is used to abut against the mounting part 3. Furthermore, the limiting member 53 is provided on the end of the ball screw 52 away from the driver 51, so that the mounting part 3 has a large travel in the second direction and cannot be disengaged from the ball screw 52, ​​thus ensuring the stability of the mounting part 3 moving in the second direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, to improve the spatial coverage of the robotic arm, a second movable seat 7 is provided between the mounting part 3 and the first movable seat 2. A third drive assembly 9 is provided on the second movable seat 7 to drive the mounting part 3 to move in a third direction. This third drive assembly 9 can be a motor lead screw structure. Furthermore, the second direction is perpendicular to the third direction, further improving the spatial coverage of the robotic arm.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy and stability of the movement of the second movable seat 7 on the first movable seat 2, a guide structure is provided between the first movable seat 2 and the second movable seat 7. The guide structure includes a first guide member 81 disposed on the first movable seat 2 and a second guide member 82 movably connected to the first guide member 81 and movable along the first guide member 81. The first guide member 81 extends along the second direction, and the second movable seat 7 is connected to the second guide member 82.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first guide member 81 and the second guide member 82 can be slidably coupled. Specifically, the first guide member 81 is a slide rail that extends along the moving direction of the second movable seat. The second guide member is a sliding member that is slidably connected to the slide rail. The slide rail is designed to extend along the second direction and protrude outwards, and it is also designed to have an inwardly recessed locking structure. A groove is formed on the sliding member that extends along the moving direction of the second movable seat 7. The slide rail is slidably embedded in the groove. The sliding engagement structure of the groove and the slide rail is used to guide the second movable seat 7 to move along the second direction, which helps to improve the accuracy of the movement of the second movable seat 7.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
