[0001] This application relates to the field of building construction technology, specifically a robotic arm for installing decorative materials in confined spaces. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the construction and interior decoration industries, the types and applications of decorative materials are increasing. In particular, the installation of interior wall tiles, as a common decorative material, is widely used in the decoration of residential, commercial spaces and public facilities.
[0003] Currently, during the installation of wall tiles, manual operation requires maintaining a certain working posture for a long time, which can easily lead to worker fatigue and increase the risk of work-related injuries. Secondly, due to the complexity and irregularity of the wall space, manual installation is prone to deviations, especially when operating in a confined space, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and aesthetics of the installation. In addition, the wall tiles are heavy, and relying solely on manual handling and installation can easily lead to inconvenience and may even threaten the safety of personnel.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a robotic arm for installing decorative materials in confined spaces to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a robotic arm for installing decorative materials in confined spaces, aiming to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the wall tiles are heavy, and relying solely on manual handling and installation can easily lead to inconvenience in operation and may even threaten personnel safety.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] This embodiment provides a robotic arm for installing decorative materials in confined spaces, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the robotic arm includes a support platform 1 and a lifting frame 2 fixedly installed on the upper end of the support platform 1. The robotic arm body 4 is movably connected to the lifting frame 2, and a positioning mechanism 3 is provided on the robotic arm body 4.
[0023] The positioning mechanism 3 includes a fixed frame 31 mounted on the robotic arm body 4 and an assembly rod 33 arranged opposite to the fixed frame 31. A sleeve 32 and a negative pressure suction cup 321 mounted on the sleeve 32 are symmetrically arranged on the assembly rod 33. A fixed seat 34 connected to the robotic arm body 4 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 31. A vacuum pump 35 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixed seat 34 away from the robotic arm body 4.
[0024] Specifically, the support platform 1 provides stable support for the entire robotic arm, the lifting frame 2 enables the lifting and lowering movement of the robotic arm body 4, and in the positioning mechanism 3, when the vacuum pump 35 is working, the negative pressure suction cup 321 generates suction to adsorb wall tile decorative materials. The fixing frame 31 and the assembly rod 33 play a structural support and connection role. The vacuum pump 35 adopts a high-efficiency and energy-saving type and is connected to the interface of each negative pressure suction cup 321 through a hose, which can stably adsorb decorative materials weighing up to 50kg. The fixing frame 31 and the assembly rod 33 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and has a strong load-bearing capacity, which can reduce the overall load of the robotic arm and reduce energy consumption. The robotic arm is equipped with an advanced electrical control system, which adopts a PLC programmable controller to realize automated operation and remote control. The operator can input installation parameters, such as height and suction force, through the touch screen, and the system automatically adjusts the movement of the robotic arm.
[0025] A fixing rod 36 is symmetrically installed on the fixing frame 31. A positioning rod 37 is installed on the fixing rod 36. A cylinder 38 is fixedly installed on the end of the positioning rod 37 away from the fixing rod 36. An anti-detachment plate 39 is installed on the telescopic end of the cylinder 38.
[0026] More specifically, the fixing rod 36 and the positioning rod 37 serve to position and support the material. The cylinder 38 drives the anti-detachment plate 39 to extend and retract. When adsorbing decorative materials, the anti-detachment plate 39 extends to prevent the materials from falling off. The cylinder 38 can effectively block the decorative materials from slipping off through the anti-detachment plate 39. The surface of the anti-detachment plate 39 is made of anti-slip rubber material with a high coefficient of friction, which further improves the anti-slip effect.
[0027] Several strip rods are installed at equal intervals on the fixed frame 31. Connecting seats 311 are fitted onto the strip rods, and the seats 32 are fixedly connected to the mating parts on the strip rods.
[0028] Furthermore, the sleeve 32 can slide or be fixed on the strip rod by connecting with the mating parts on the strip rod, thereby adjusting the position of the negative pressure suction cup 321 to accommodate decorative materials of different sizes. The strip rod can be set with scale markings to facilitate operators to accurately adjust the position of the sleeve 32, which is then locked with bolts.
[0029] The assembly rod 33 has several assembly holes 331, and the sleeve 32 is fixedly connected to the assembly rod 33 by bolts.
[0030] Furthermore, the sleeve 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 33 by bolts passing through the mounting hole 331, and the installation position and angle of the sleeve 32 can be adjusted as needed.
[0031] A servo motor 21 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the lifting frame 2. A threaded rod 22 is rotatably connected inside the lifting frame 2. The output end of the servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded rod 22. A limit groove 23 is opened on the lifting frame 2. The robotic arm body 4 is threadedly sleeved with the threaded rod 22.
[0032] It should be noted that the servo motor 21 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate. Since the robotic arm body 4 is threadedly fitted with the threaded rod 22, and the limiting groove 23 restricts the rotation of the robotic arm body 4, the robotic arm body 4 can achieve lifting and lowering movements. The servo motor 21 has high-precision position control function. The threaded rod 22 adopts a trapezoidal thread, which has high transmission efficiency and can withstand an axial load of 1000N. The inner wall of the limiting groove 23 is made of wear-resistant material to reduce friction and extend service life. The limiting groove 23 can effectively prevent the robotic arm body 4 from rotating during the lifting and lowering process.
[0033] Several casters 12 are equidistantly installed at the lower end of the support platform 1, and a handrail 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the support platform 1 away from the robotic arm body 4.
[0034] It is worth mentioning that the casters 12 allow the support platform 1 to move flexibly, and the handle 11 makes it convenient for operators to push and control the movement direction of the robotic arm.
[0035] In use, the support platform 1 provides stable support for the entire robotic arm. In the positioning mechanism 3, when the vacuum pump 35 is working, the negative pressure suction cup 321 generates suction. The vacuum pump 35 is a high-efficiency and energy-saving type. It is connected to the interface of each negative pressure suction cup 321 through a hose. By relying on the negative pressure suction cup 321 to adsorb the wall tile decorative material, and in conjunction with the lifting frame 2, the lifting movement of the robotic arm body 4 can be realized to lift the wall tile to the predetermined position, so as to facilitate the worker to install the wall tile in the designated position.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
