Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arm technology, specifically to a multi-purpose robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of the tank's electrical system, the battery not only provides the necessary power for the starter motor but also powers various electronic devices, ensuring the tank's normal operation or combat. The Type 99 tank's battery is located on the left side of the driver's compartment, requiring access through the driver's window. Its large size, limited operating space, and heavy weight make disassembly, installation, and maintenance inconvenient.

[0003] In practice, due to the limited internal space of the tank and the large weight of the battery, it often requires the cooperation of multiple soldiers to complete the disassembly and assembly work. This not only increases the difficulty of operation but also affects the maintenance efficiency of the tank. There is also the possibility of tipping over or colliding during manual handling, which may damage the battery or the equipment inside the tank and threaten the personal safety of the soldiers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-purpose robotic arm to solve the problems of requiring multiple soldiers to cooperate in disassembly and assembly work, high operational difficulty, low tank maintenance efficiency, and the possibility of tipping over or colliding during manual handling, which could damage the battery or equipment inside the tank and pose safety hazards to soldiers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-purpose robotic arm includes a robotic arm, a mobile base, and a remote control handle. The bottom end of the robotic arm is fixed to the front end of the upper surface of the mobile base, and the remote control handle is electrically connected to the robotic arm and the mobile base.

[0007] The robotic arm includes a base fixing plate, a first rotating telescopic arm, a second rotating telescopic arm, a third rotating arm, a fourth rotating arm, and a battery transport cage. The lower part of the base fixing plate is fixed to the front end of the upper surface of the movable base. The first rotating telescopic arm is fixed to the upper part of the base fixing plate. The other end of the first rotating telescopic arm is connected to the second rotating telescopic arm. The other end of the second rotating telescopic arm is connected to the third rotating arm. The other end of the third rotating arm is connected to the fourth rotating arm. The other end of the fourth rotating arm is connected to the battery transport cage.

[0008] Furthermore, the mobile base includes a base, a double-opening door, a power supply battery, a reinforcing bracket, a counterweight, wheels, a guardrail, and a push rod. The double-opening door is provided on the side wall of the base, the reinforcing bracket is provided on the inner wall of the base, the counterweight is provided at the rear end of the base, the power supply battery is provided in the middle of the base, a plurality of wheels are provided at the lower part of the base, the guardrail is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the base, and the push rod is connected to the rear of the guardrail.

[0009] Furthermore, the remote control handle includes a display screen, a control knob, function buttons, and a power switch. The display screen is embedded in the upper surface of the remote control handle, the control knob is located below the display screen, and the function buttons and the power switch are located below the control knob.

[0010] Furthermore, the first rotating telescopic arm includes a starting end 360-degree rotating motor, an electric push rod, and a first telescopic arm. The starting end 360-degree rotating motor is fixed to the upper part of the base fixing plate, the first telescopic arm is connected to the upper part of the starting end 360-degree rotating motor, and the electric push rod is connected to the side wall of the starting end 360-degree rotating motor.

[0011] Furthermore, the second rotating telescopic arm includes a second up-and-down rotating motor and a second telescopic arm. One end of the second up-and-down rotating motor is connected to the first rotating telescopic arm, the other end of the second up-and-down rotating motor is connected to the second telescopic arm, and the other end of the second telescopic arm is connected to the third rotating arm.

[0012] Furthermore, the fourth rotating arm includes a 360-degree rotating motor at the end and a combined camera. One end of the 360-degree rotating motor at the end is connected to the third rotating arm, and the other end of the 360-degree rotating motor at the end is connected to the battery transport cage. A combined camera module is provided on the upper part of the 360-degree rotating motor at the end.

[0013] Furthermore, the combined camera module includes a camera, an infrared camera, and a lighting lamp.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up multiple robotic arms, in conjunction with a mobile base and a remote control handle, this application enables flexible and precise operation and control of the robotic arms within a limited space, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the operation process, greatly reducing the labor intensity of soldiers, and also reducing potential damage to other tank components. Furthermore, the robotic arms also have lifting and rotating functions to adapt to the needs of different tank models. In practical applications, soldiers only need to use a simple remote control handle to control the robotic arms to complete the battery transport work, eliminating the need for manual transport of batteries into the tank. This not only improves work efficiency but also ensures the personal safety of soldiers. The battery transport cage can safely carry the batteries. The display screen and combined camera module inside the remote control handle ensure the normal operation of conventional tank battery changing operations as well as operations in special scenarios such as nighttime or low-light environments. The design of the counterweight and rear-mounted battery lowers the center of gravity, increases the weight, and ensures overall stable operation. The protective railing allows for the simultaneous transport of more batteries, increasing work efficiency.
