Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated assembly equipment technology, specifically a six-axis robot. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated assembly, six-axis robots are widely used in precision operations such as screw driving due to their multi-degree-of-freedom and high precision. However, traditional six-axis screw driving robots have limited functionality, only capable of tightening screws and unable to directly handle material handling. If it is necessary to transfer workpieces from the feeding station to the screw driving station, or to move workpieces to the next process after screw driving, additional conveyor belts, dedicated handling robots, and other handling equipment are required, resulting in complex production line layouts and large equipment footprints.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing equipment with turnover function and screw-driving equipment often operate independently, and the two need to be linked in a complex control system, which not only increases the equipment procurement cost, but also has the problem of low efficiency in process connection.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a six-axis robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a six-axis robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A six-axis robot includes a mounting base for mounting the six-axis robot. A robot body is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting base. An actuator mounting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the robot body. An automatic screw tightening module and a gripping module are respectively provided on both sides of the actuator mounting plate. The gripping module includes a horizontal plate that is vertically fixedly connected to the actuator mounting plate. A bracket is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the horizontal plate. A servo motor is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the bracket. A reducer is provided on the lower end of the bracket. A base plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the horizontal plate by a screw. A lead screw is rotatably mounted between the base plate and the horizontal plate. The reducer is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor and the lead screw respectively.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and crossbeams are fixedly connected to both sides of the threaded sleeve.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: each end of the crossbeam is rotatably connected to a connecting arm, and the end of the connecting arm is rotatably connected to a gripper.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: grooves are provided on both sides of the base plate, and through slots are provided on the top of the grippers. A rotating arm is rotatably connected in the groove, and the other end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through slot on the corresponding gripper.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the actuator mounting plate is fixedly connected to the end flange of the robot body by a bolt group.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner side of each gripper is provided with anti-slip teeth, and the anti-slip teeth have a serrated structure.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the groove and the through groove by a pin, and both ends of the pin are provided with limiting rings, and the limiting rings are interference-fitted with the pin.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the servo motor is connected to the control system of the robot body via a controller, and the controller is used to control the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the servo motor to realize the opening and closing action of the gripper.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model's six-axis robot integrates an automatic screw tightening module and a gripping module on both sides of the actuator mounting plate, achieving the integration of screw tightening and material handling functions. This effectively solves the problem of the single function of traditional six-axis robots, allowing it to complete "gripping-transportation-assembly" without the need for additional handling equipment. The end-to-end operation significantly reduces the equipment footprint and production line layout complexity, lowering equipment procurement and maintenance costs. The gripping module uses a servo motor to drive the lead screw rotation, combined with the linkage structure of the threaded sleeve, connecting arm, and rotating arm. Through the precise transmission of the lead screw and nut pair, stable control of the gripper opening and closing is achieved. Coupled with the anti-slip tooth design on the inner side of the gripper, it can reliably grip workpieces, screws, or threaded sleeves of different specifications, preventing materials from falling off during turnover. The modular connection between the actuator mounting plate and the robot body allows the automatic screw tightening module and gripping module to be quickly replaced or upgraded according to production needs, adapting to different types of screws and workpieces, improving the flexibility of the equipment. In addition, the six-axis linkage of the robot body, combined with the collaborative work of the dual-function modules, can reduce the positioning time during process switching and improve the production cycle, making it particularly suitable for small-batch, multi-variety assembly scenarios such as electronic products and automotive parts, combining practicality and economy.

The ends of the crossbeams 14 are rotatably connected to a connecting arm 15, and the ends of the connecting arms 15 are rotatably connected to a gripper 16. The inner side of the gripper 16 is provided with anti-slip teeth, and the anti-slip teeth have a serrated structure.

[0027] Furthermore, grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the base plate 9, and through slots 18 are provided on the top of each gripper 16.
