Description

A protective device for an artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arm Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arm technology, and in particular to a protective device for an artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arms are intelligent systems that integrate AI technologies such as machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing, enabling robotic arms to have autonomous perception, decision-making, and execution capabilities. In beverage production, artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arms are typically used to move packaged beverages from production equipment to pallets in a certain arrangement for easy storage and transportation. To ensure their safe and stable operation, protective devices are usually installed on the robotic arms.

[0003] According to the search, the Chinese patent "A robotic arm with high protective performance" authorized announcement number "CN221640939U" uses a telescopic rod, spring one and spring two to cooperate with each other to cancel out the gravity and achieve the effect of shock absorption. Then, the spring one fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod restores the original state, thereby increasing the practicality of the device.

[0004] In the aforementioned application, because the springs are elastic, relying solely on spring one and spring two to alleviate gravity can easily lead to an increase in the extension and contraction range of spring one and spring two, thereby increasing the swaying amplitude of the robotic arm and reducing the protective effect on the robotic arm. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a protective device for an AI-controlled robotic arm to address the problem of increased sway amplitude.

[0006] The system includes: a mounting base and a base; and a buffer mechanism. The buffer mechanism includes several damping shock absorbers fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base. The bottom ends of the damping shock absorbers are fixedly connected to the top of the base. The top of the base is provided with several first support blocks and second support blocks. The surface of the first support blocks is hinged to the inner wall of the second support blocks. Two damping rods are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the first and second support blocks. Through the cooperation of the damping shock absorbers, first support blocks, second support blocks, and damping rods, the gravity on the mounting base and the robotic arm is distributed, thereby reducing the swaying amplitude of the mounting base and the robotic arm, thus ensuring the protective effect on the robotic arm.

[0007] In one embodiment, a corrugated sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the base.

[0008] In one embodiment, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the corrugated sleeve, and the inner surface of the fixing frame is snapped onto the surface of the mounting base. Through the cooperation of the fixing frame and the corrugated sleeve, the opposite ends of the mounting base and the base are enclosed, thereby preventing external impurities from adhering to the surfaces of the damping shock absorber, the first support block, the second support block, and the damping rod, thus ensuring the buffering effect of the damping shock absorber, the first support block, the second support block, and the damping rod on the mounting base and the robotic arm.

[0009] In one embodiment, a fixing frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting base, and the surface of the fixing frame is snapped into the inner wall of the fixing frame.

[0010] In one embodiment, a movable spring is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting bracket, and the other end of the movable spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base. The movable spring pushes the mounting bracket to automatically engage with the fixed frame, thereby locking the fixed frame.

[0011] In one embodiment, a resistance sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing frame, and the other end of the resistance sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base. The surface of the resistance sleeve is located within the inner ring of the movable spring. The resistance sleeve increases the resistance of the fixing frame in the direction away from the fixing frame, ensuring that the fixing frame is stably engaged within the fixing frame.

[0012] In one embodiment, two guide rods are fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the inner wall of the fixing frame is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rods.

[0013] In one embodiment, the bottom of the mounting base and the top of the base are provided with a plurality of sliding grooves, and the surfaces of the first support block and the second support block are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] 1. By using the damping shock absorber, the first support block, the second support block and the damping rod to work together, the gravity on the mounting base and the robotic arm is dispersed. Compared with the existing method that only relies on spring one and spring two to dampen the gravity on the robotic arm, which leads to an increase in the swaying amplitude of the robotic arm, this method disperses the gravity on the robotic arm, thereby reducing the swaying amplitude of the mounting base and the robotic arm, thus ensuring the protection effect on the robotic arm.

[0016] 2. By cooperating with the fixed frame and the corrugated sleeve, the opposite ends of the mounting base and the base are protected, thereby preventing external impurities from adhering to the surface of the damping shock absorber, the first support block, the second support block and the damping rod, thus ensuring the buffering effect of the damping shock absorber, the first support block, the second support block and the damping rod on the mounting base and the robotic arm.

[0029] The protective device for the artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arm of this utility model is described below with reference to Figures 1-4.

[0030] In one embodiment, a protective device for an AI-controlled robotic arm includes: a mounting base 100 and a base 200; a buffer mechanism 300, the buffer mechanism 300 including a plurality of damping shock absorbers 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 100, the bottom end of the damping shock absorbers 301 being fixedly connected to the top of the base 200, the top of the base 200 being provided with a plurality of first support blocks 303 and second support blocks 302, the surface of the first support block 303 being hinged to the inner wall of the second support block 302, and two damping rods 304 being fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the first support block 303 and the second support block 302.

[0031] It should be noted that the damping shock absorber 301 is usually composed of springs, rubber elements, damping media such as hydraulic oil, cylinder and piston.

[0032] Rubber components: Rubber has good elasticity and flexibility, and can deform in multiple directions. Rubber components can serve as elastic supports and also provide some vibration isolation.

[0033] Cylinder body: This is the outer shell of the damping shock absorber 301, usually made of metal, used to house the damping medium and other components.

[0034] Piston: Installed inside the cylinder, forming a chamber with relative motion between the piston and the cylinder. The piston is usually equipped with a throttling orifice or valve. When the piston moves inside the cylinder, the damping medium flows through the throttling orifice or valve to generate a damping force.

[0035] When the damping shock absorber 301 is subjected to vibration, the piston moves in the cylinder, causing the hydraulic oil to pass through the throttle orifice or gap. Due to the viscosity of the hydraulic oil, resistance is generated when the hydraulic oil flows. This resistance is proportional to the speed of the piston. According to the principles of fluid mechanics, the viscous resistance will consume the energy of the vibration and convert it into heat energy to dissipate.

[0036] An artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arm is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 100. The artificial intelligence-controlled robotic arm typically consists of a base, arm, wrist, end effector such as gripper, motor, reducer, position sensor, force sensor, vision sensor, software and artificial intelligence algorithm, etc.

[0037] When packaged beverages need to be stacked onto a tray, a robotic arm is automatically activated via a CNC screen. The robotic arm acquires information about the surrounding environment through vision and force sensors, such as the position, shape, and posture of target objects, as well as their distance from surrounding obstacles. Artificial intelligence algorithms process and analyze the information acquired by the sensors, identify the target object, and formulate corresponding operational strategies and motion plans based on task requirements. For example, the robotic arm's gripping position, movement path, and force are determined. The control software generates specific control commands based on the planned motion trajectory and action sequence and sends them to the drive system. The motors in the drive system drive the various joints of the robotic arm according to the control commands, causing the robotic arm to move to the target position along a predetermined trajectory. Once the robotic arm reaches the target position, the end effector performs corresponding operations according to task requirements, gripping and transporting the packaged beverages from the conveyor rack onto the tray, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the operation. This is a relatively common and well-known technology in this field and is not closely related to the technical problem of this application; therefore, it has not been further described.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the robotic arm is handling a beverage and is subjected to gravity, the gravity or other external forces acting on the robotic arm will be transmitted to the mounting base 100. At this time, the damping shock absorber 301 will disperse most of the forces acting on the mounting base 100 and the robotic arm. The first support block 303 and the second support block 302 will change angles. At this time, the damping rod 304 will increase the resistance of the angle change of the first support block 303 and the second support block 302, thereby dispersing a small portion of the forces acting on the mounting base 100 and the robotic arm.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2-4, a corrugated sleeve 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 200, and a fixed frame 306 is fixedly connected to the top of the corrugated sleeve 305. The inner surface of the fixed frame 306 is engaged with the surface of the mounting base 100. A fixed bracket 307 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 100. The surface of the fixed bracket 307 is engaged with the inner wall of the fixed frame 306. A movable spring 309 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed bracket 307. The other end of the movable spring 309 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 100. A resistance sleeve 308 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed bracket 307. The other end of the resistance sleeve 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 100. The surface of the resistance sleeve 308 is located within the inner ring of the movable spring 309. Two guide rods 310 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 200. The inner wall of the fixed frame 306 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rods 310.

[0040] Damping rod 304, corrugated sleeve 305 and resistance sleeve 308 are all rubber components.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fixed frame 306 is pushed to move up the guide rod 310, so that the fixed frame 306 is snapped into the surface of the mounting base 100. At this time, the fixed bracket 307 is loosened, and the elastic force of the movable spring 309 pushes the fixed bracket 307 to automatically snap into the fixed frame 306, thereby protecting the opposite ends of the mounting base 100 and the base 200.

[0042] As shown in Figure 3, the bottom of the mounting base 100 and the top of the base 200 are provided with several sliding grooves 311, and the surfaces of the first support block 303 and the second support block 302 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 311.

[0043] Working principle: The gravity or other external forces on the robotic arm will be transmitted to the mounting base 100. At this time, the damping shock absorber 301, the first support block 303, the second support block 302 and the damping rod 304 cooperate with each other to disperse the forces on the mounting base 100 and the robotic arm.

[0044] It should be noted that the mounting base 100, base 200, damping shock absorber 301, first support block 303, second support block 302, and artificial intelligence controlled robotic arm mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technologies. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the artificial intelligence controlled robotic arm can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0046] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
