Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot shells, and more particularly to a modular quick-release robot shell. Background Technology

[0002] In the wave of rapid development of modern industry and technology, the application fields of robots are constantly expanding, widely involving industrial production, logistics and warehousing, service industries, scientific research and other aspects. In these complex and diverse application scenarios, the robot's robotic arm, as a key execution component, is of paramount importance in terms of stability and ease of maintenance.

[0003] Traditional robot arm shells often employ a monolithic structure or complex bolted connections. Monolithic shells result in numerous bolts, making installation and disassembly cumbersome and requiring specialized tools to tighten or loosen each bolt individually, leading to low operational efficiency. Furthermore, during long-term use, bolts are prone to loosening due to vibrations and impacts during robot operation. This not only causes unstable shell connections, generating additional noise and safety hazards, but also risks damaging internal components due to loosening and falling bolts, thus affecting the robot's normal operation. Therefore, a modular quick-release shell for robots is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular quick-release shell for robots, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that "there are many bolts, and special tools are needed to tighten or loosen them one by one during disassembly, resulting in low operating efficiency".

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a modular quick-release shell for a robot, comprising shell a and shell b disposed on the outer side of a robotic arm, wherein a connecting component is disposed on the outer side of shell a and shell b; the connecting component comprises multiple sets of bases, which are respectively fixedly connected to the outer side of shell a and shell b, and a fixing member a and a fixing member b are inserted into the outer side of adjacent sets of bases; a limiting component is disposed on the inner wall of fixing member a; a pressing member is slidably connected to the inner wall of fixing member b; a snap-fit ​​member is fixedly connected to the pressing member near the right side of fixing member a; the snap-fit ​​member is slidably connected to the inner wall of fixing member b; a slot is provided on the inner wall of fixing member a; the snap-fit ​​member is inserted into the inner wall of the slot; and a compression spring is disposed on the rear side of the pressing member.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The limiting component includes a limiting plate that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing member a.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a modular quick-release robot shell, comprising shell a1 and shell b2 disposed on the outside of a robotic arm, which protect the robotic arm from external collisions, wear, dust pollution and other environmental factors, ensuring that the robotic arm can operate stably and normally. A connecting component 3 is disposed on the outside of shell a1 and shell b2. The connecting component 3 includes multiple sets of bases 31, which are fixedly connected to the outside of shell a1 and shell b2 respectively, serving to position and support fixing members a32 and b33. Fixing members a32 and b33 are inserted into the outside of adjacent sets of bases 31. A limiting component 4 is disposed on the inner wall of fixing member a32, which cooperates with the snap-fit ​​component 35 to achieve fastening and limiting of the connection of the shell.

[0031] Reference Figures 2-4A pressing member 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing member b33. Pressing the pressing member 34 causes the snap-fit ​​member 35, which is fixedly connected to it, to move. When it is necessary to disassemble the outer shell, pressing the pressing member 34 again causes the snap-fit ​​member 35 to disengage from the slot 36, thus separating the outer shell. The snap-fit ​​member 35 is fixedly connected to the right side of the pressing member 34 near the fixing member a32. After the snap-fit ​​member 35 is inserted into the slot 36, the initial connection between the outer shell a1 and the outer shell b2 is achieved. The limiting groove 44 on its outer side cooperates with the limiting component 4 to prevent the snap-fit ​​member 35 from accidentally coming out of the slot 36. 35 is L-shaped, and the front left side of the snap-fit ​​35 is curved. The snap-fit ​​35 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing member b33. The inner wall of the fixing member a32 has a slot 36 for inserting and engaging with the snap-fit ​​35 to connect the outer shell a1 and the outer shell b2. The size and shape of the slot 36 match the snap-fit ​​35 to ensure that the two can be tightly connected. The snap-fit ​​35 is inserted into the inner wall of the slot 36. A compression spring 37 is provided on the rear side of the pressing member 34 to provide elastic force to the pressing member 34, so that the snap-fit ​​35 can be stably inserted into the inner wall of the slot 36.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-4 The limiting component 4 includes a limiting plate 41 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing member a32. When the snap-fit ​​member 35 is inserted into the slot 36, the limiting plate 41 is kept inserted into the limiting slot 44 under the action of the return spring 43, preventing the snap-fit ​​member 35 from coming out of the slot 36. An insert plate 42 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixing member a32 to provide an installation position for the return spring 43. The insert plate 42 passes through the limiting plate 41, and the insert plate 42 and the limiting plate 41 are elastically connected by the return spring 43 to provide elastic force to the limiting plate 41. After the snap-fit ​​member 35 is inserted into the slot 36, the return spring 43 pushes the limiting plate 41 into the limiting slot 44 of the snap-fit ​​member 35 to limit the snap-fit ​​member 35. At the same time, during disassembly, the limiting plate 41 can contact the front side of the snap-fit ​​member 35 to limit the snap-fit ​​member 35 in the retracted state, which facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the shell and improves the handling efficiency of the shell during robot maintenance and repair.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The snap-fit ​​part 35 has a limiting groove 44 on its outer side. The limiting plate 41 is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting groove 44 to limit the sliding range of the snap-fit ​​part 35 on the inner wall of the fixing part b33. This prevents the snap-fit ​​part 35 from accidentally disengaging from the snap-fit ​​groove 36 due to vibration, shaking or other factors during robot operation, and ensures the reliability of the connection between the outer shell a1 and the outer shell b2. A pull ring is provided on the left side of the limiting plate 41 to facilitate the operator to pull the limiting plate 41. The rear side of the pressing part 34 is hollow to accommodate the compression spring 37. Both the fixing part a32 and the fixing part b33 are set as front and rear parts and are fixed by bolts, which facilitates disassembly, repair or replacement when the parts are damaged. The fixing part a32 and the fixing part b33 are inserted into the outer side of the base 31.

[0034] Working principle: In use, first, the outer shells a1 and b2 are respectively placed on the corresponding positions of the robotic arm. At this time, the multiple sets of bases 31 in the connecting assembly 3 are fixed on the outside of the outer shells a1 and b2 respectively. Next, the fixing parts a32 and b33 are respectively inserted into the outside of the two adjacent sets of bases 31. When the snap-fit ​​part 35 reaches the position of the slot 36, under the elastic force of the compression spring 37, the pressing part 34 drives the snap-fit ​​part 35 to quickly insert into the slot 36 on the inner wall of the fixing part a32, realizing the initial connection between the outer shells a1 and b2. At this time, under the action of the return spring 43, the limiting plate 41 is inserted into the limiting groove 44 on the outside of the snap-fit ​​part 35 to prevent the snap-fit ​​part 35 from accidentally coming out of the slot 36, completing the installation of the outer shell, ensuring that the outer shell connection is stable, and effectively protecting the robotic arm.

[0035] When maintenance or repair of the robot is required and the outer shell needs to be disassembled, the operator first pulls the pull ring on the left side of the limiting plate 41, so that the limiting plate 41 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 43 and disengages from the limiting groove 44 of the snap-fit ​​piece 35. Then, the operator presses the pressing piece 34. During the pressing process, the compression spring 37 is further compressed, and the pressing piece 34 drives the snap-fit ​​piece 35 to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 36. Finally, the fixing piece a32 and the fixing piece b33 are pulled out from the outside of the base 31, and the outer shell a1 and the outer shell b2 can be separated, completing the disassembly of the outer shell. This facilitates subsequent operations on the robotic arm and improves the efficiency of handling the outer shell during robot maintenance and repair.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
