This makes the modules seem limited when simulating real industrial scenarios, failing to meet students' learning needs for diverse mechanical movements. Furthermore, these modules often separate the mechanical and electrical components, making it difficult for students to intuitively understand the collaborative working principles of mechatronics.

Figure 1 The linear transport swing module of this utility model has the same vertical, horizontal, front and back directions in its projection relationship. It includes a bracket 12, in which a lead screw 13 is rotatably mounted. A drive assembly that drives the lead screw 13 to rotate is also mounted in the bracket 12. A track 11 is mounted in the bracket 12, and a slide table 21 is slidably mounted on the track 11. The slide table 21 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13. A robotic arm assembly capable of linear movement, lifting, and swinging is fixedly mounted on the slide table 21.

[0027] Advantageously, one or more photoelectric sensors 25 are provided on the front side of the track 11, and a contact bracket 23 is fixedly provided on one side of the slide table 21. When the contact bracket 23 moves into the photoelectric sensor 25, the photoelectric sensor 25 triggers an electrical signal to the electrical component assembly, causing the electrical component assembly to control the stepper motor 14 to stop working, thus playing an electronic limiting role for the slide table 21.

[0028] Advantageously, the photoelectric sensor 25 is mounted on the photoelectric bracket 24, which is fixedly set on one side of the track 11. The track 11 is provided with a T-slot 22.

[0029] Advantageously, the synchronous pulley assembly includes an active synchronous pulley 52 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the stepper motor 14, a driven synchronous pulley 51 fixedly mounted on one side of the lead screw 13, and a synchronous belt wound between the driven synchronous pulley 51 and the active synchronous pulley 52, which powerly connects the active synchronous pulley 52 and the driven synchronous pulley 51.

[0030] Advantageously, the robotic arm assembly includes a slide cylinder body 32 disposed on the top of the slide 21. A slide cylinder moving plate 31 is slidably disposed on one side of the slide cylinder body 32. A limit sensing structure is provided on the top of the slide cylinder moving plate 31 to limit the lifting of the robotic arm assembly. A stepper motor 44 is disposed on the other side of the slide cylinder moving plate 31. A pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 is disposed on one side of the output shaft of the stepper motor 44.

[0031] Advantageously, the limit sensing structure includes a limit bracket 34 fixedly installed on the top of the slide cylinder moving plate 31. Inductive sensors 33 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the limit bracket 34. The displacement generated by the inductive sensor 33 after the slide cylinder moving plate 31 is lifted can also trigger an electrical signal. After the inductive sensor 33 establishes a signal connection with the PLC controller and the microcontroller, the PLC controller and the microcontroller control the air source solenoid valve 15 to stop working, so that the slide cylinder moving plate 31 stops moving, thereby realizing the lifting limit function.

[0032] Advantageously, a stepper motor bracket 41 is fixedly installed on one side of the slide cylinder moving plate 31, and a stepper motor bracket 41 is fixedly connected to a stepper reducer motor 44 on one side. A second adjusting plate 45 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the output shaft of the stepper reducer motor 44, and a gripper adapter plate 42 is fixedly installed on one side of the second adjusting plate 45. The gripper adapter plate 42 is fixedly connected to a pneumatic mechanical gripper 43.

[0033] Advantageously, a conversion plate 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the slide table 21, a first adjusting plate 37 is fixedly installed on the top of the conversion plate 28, a cylinder mounting plate 29 located on one side of the conversion plate 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the first adjusting plate 37, and the slide table cylinder body 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the cylinder mounting plate 29.

[0034] Advantageously, the electrical component assembly includes a motor protection switch 17 and a stepper motor controller 16, with the stepper motor 14 and the stepper geared motor 44 electrically connected to the stepper motor controller 16 and the stepper motor 14 and the stepper geared motor 44 electrically connected to the motor protection switch 17.

[0035] Advantageously, the electrical component assembly also includes a pneumatic solenoid valve 15, which is connected to the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 and the slide cylinder body 32. The pneumatic solenoid valve 15 is connected to an air tank in the external space, and the air tank is connected to an air compressor. The pneumatic solenoid valve 15 is used to trigger the gripper adapter plate 42 and the slide cylinder body 32.

[0036] Advantageously, the electrical components may also include a PLC controller, a microcontroller, etc. By establishing signal control connections between the PLC controller, the microcontroller, etc., and the stepper motor controller 16, the air source solenoid valve 15, the photoelectric sensor 25, and the inductive sensor 33, specific control and data transmission functions can be realized. With the addition of a display screen, the PLC controller and the microcontroller can be triggered through the display screen, and the displacement information read by the inductive sensor 33 can be displayed on the display screen.

[0037] Advantageously, the motor protection switch 17, the stepper motor controller 16, and the air source solenoid valve 15 are fixedly installed on the column 18.

[0038] This linear transport swing module integrates the movement and swing functions of the robotic arm. It can clearly and completely display the specific structure and connection method of each component. It also integrates electrical component assemblies, which makes it easy for personnel to connect and assemble the relevant electrical components to realize the movement function of the entire module.

[0039] The module works as follows: personnel use a display screen, PLC controller or microcontroller, etc., to centrally control signals and power through terminal blocks, thereby controlling the stepper motor controller 16 and the air source solenoid valve 15, and starting and stopping the stepper motor 14, the slide cylinder body 32, the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 and the stepper geared motor 44.

[0040] After the stepper motor 14 starts working, it causes the lead screw 13 to rotate through the active synchronous pulley 52, the driven synchronous pulley 51 and the synchronous belt. Since the slide table 21 is slidably connected to the track 11 and the lead screw 13 is threadedly connected to the slide table 21, the slide table 21 can drive the robot arm assembly to move left and right along the track 11. After the contact bracket 23 on one side of the slide table 21 moves into the photoelectric bracket 24, it triggers an electrical signal to the PLC controller or microcontroller. Then the PLC controller or microcontroller controls the stepper motor 14 to stop working. Before the stepper motor 14 starts working again, the PLC controller or microcontroller needs to reissue the start command of the stepper motor 14 to make the stepper motor 14 run forward or reverse.

[0041] For the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43, after the slide cylinder body 32 works, it drives the slide cylinder moving plate 31 to lift upward, thus realizing the lifting function of the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43.

[0042] After the stepper motor 44 is working, it drives the second adjustment plate 45, the gripper adapter plate 42 and the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 to swing. When the specific parameters are set, the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 swings from 0 to 180 degrees to avoid motion interference between the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 and other components.

[0043] When the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 is working, the gripper part of the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 realizes the function of gripping parts and can also release them.

[0044] The synergistic effect of the above-mentioned components and structures enables the pneumatic mechanical gripper 43 to grasp parts, drive the parts to be lifted, swing, and move linearly along the support 12.

[0045] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without creative effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model; therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
