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.

[0018] Example 1, as Figure 1-2As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a multifunctional robotic arm for facilitating aluminum pot loading, comprising a loading fixing frame 1, a vertical slide rail 2, a fixed shaft 3, and a long gear 6. The vertical slide rail 2 is installed on the inner wall of the loading fixing frame 1, and the fixed shaft 3, which penetrates the loading fixing frame 1, is installed at the top of the vertical slide rail 2. The long gear 6 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 3. A robotic arm 4 is installed at the top of the fixed shaft 3, and a vacuum suction cup 5 is installed at the bottom of the robotic arm 4. The loading fixing frame 1 is internally equipped with a transmission mechanism for moving the position of the vacuum suction cup 5. The transmission mechanism includes a first motor 7 and a rotating shaft 8. The first motor 7 is installed on the inner wall of the loading fixing frame 1, and the output end of the first motor 7 is connected via a coupling. The device is equipped with a rotating shaft 8, and a transmission gear 9 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8. A vacuum pump 14 is installed at the top of the robotic arm 4, and a vacuum chamber 15 is installed at the output end of the vacuum pump 14. A vacuum tube 16 connected to the vacuum chamber 15 is installed at the top of the vacuum suction cup 5. By starting the first motor 7, the rotating shaft 8 is driven to rotate, thereby the rotating shaft 8 drives the transmission gear 9 to mesh with the outer wall of the long gear 6. The long gear 6 then drives the vacuum suction cup 5 at the robotic arm 4 to drive. After the vacuum suction cup 5 comes into contact with the pot, the external vacuum pump 14 is started to suck the pot below the vacuum suction cup 5 into the vacuum suction cup 5 through the vacuum chamber 15 and the vacuum tube 16. This structure is convenient for adsorbing pots of different diameters.

[0019] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a multifunctional robotic arm for easy loading of aluminum pots, including a loading fixing frame 1 with a reciprocating mechanism for adjusting the height of a vacuum suction cup 5 inside. The reciprocating mechanism includes a drive shaft 11 and a drive wheel 13. The drive shaft 11 is mounted inside the loading fixing frame 1 through bearings, and the drive wheel 13 is mounted on the outer wall of the drive shaft 11. A drive rod 12 is hinged to the outer wall of the drive wheel 13, and the top end of the drive rod 12 is hinged to the bottom end of the fixing shaft 3. A second motor 10 is provided on the outer wall of the loading fixing frame 1, and the output end of the second motor 10 is connected to one end of the drive shaft 11 through a coupling. By starting the second motor 10, the drive shaft 11 is driven to rotate, thereby the drive shaft 11 drives the drive wheel 13 to move the drive rod 12, and then the drive rod 12 drives the fixing shaft 3 to move up and down in the vertical slide rail 2, thereby driving the robotic arm 4 to move up and down, making it easier to pick up the pot.

[0020] Working principle: First, connect the external power supply. The operator can move the pot to a position below the vacuum suction cup 5. At this time, the external vacuum pump 14 can be started to generate negative pressure at the vacuum suction cup 5 through the vacuum chamber 15 and vacuum tube 16. The vacuum suction cup 5 is tightly attached to the pot. Then, the first motor 7 is started to drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotating shaft 8 drives the transmission gear 9 to mesh with the outer wall of the long gear 6. The long gear 6 drives the vacuum suction cup 5 at the mechanical arm 4 to rotate to a suitable position. When rotation is required, the reciprocating mechanism can be started to drive the vacuum suction cup 5 to lift downwards. The transmission mechanism drives the vacuum suction cup 5 to rotate and unload. This structure is simple to operate and convenient for loading and unloading.
