[0027] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figure 1-5As shown, the reversing body installed on the robotic arm includes a robotic arm assembly 2 slidably connected to the support base 1. The robotic arm assembly 2 is a multi-axis robotic arm that can rotate and lift in multiple directions. The last section of the robotic arm assembly 2 can rotate axially. A reversing support plate 8 is fixedly installed at the end of the robotic arm assembly 2. A docking groove 18 is fixedly connected in the middle of the reversing support plate 8. A power supply terminal 20 is fixedly connected in the docking groove 18. A reversing drive assembly is fixedly connected on the other side of the reversing support plate 8. A conversion gear ring 10 is rotatably connected below the reversing support plate 8. Multiple sliding brackets 14 are fixedly connected below the conversion gear ring 10. A sliding docking assembly is slidably connected below the sliding brackets 14. A material picking component 17 is rotatably connected below the sliding docking assembly. The material picking component 17 can be equipped with various different material picking components 17, such as grippers, suction cups, or hooks, to facilitate the picking of different materials.
[0031] The reversing drive assembly includes a reversing motor 9 and a shift gear 11. The reversing motor 9 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the reversing support plate 8, and the shift gear 11 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the reversing support plate 8. One side of the shift gear 11 meshes with the shift gear ring 10, and the shift gear 11 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the reversing motor 9.
[0032] The sliding docking assembly includes a spring 15 and a mounting slide 16. The mounting slide 16 is slidably connected to the sliding bracket 14. The two ends of the spring 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the mounting slide 16 and the sliding bracket 14. One end of the material picking component 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting slide 16.
[0033] When it is necessary to replace different material picking components 17, the reversing motor 9 starts and drives the conversion gear ring 10 to rotate through the conversion gear 11. This rotation allows the mounting slide 16, on which different material picking components 17 are installed, to be aligned with the opening on one side of the docking groove 18.
[0034] Finally, the slide table 16 is installed to drive the material picking component 17 to slide into the docking groove 18, so that the power supply interface on one side of the material picking component 17 is aligned with the power supply terminal 20 in the docking groove 18. Then, the material picking component 17, which has moved to the middle, can be controlled to pick up materials.
[0035] When the material handling component 17 needs to be replaced again, the spring 15 can pull out the material handling component 17 installed in the docking groove 18, and then the gear ring 10 can be rotated to replace it.
[0036] In this embodiment, a tilting motor 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting slide 16, and the power output end of the tilting motor 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the material picking component 17.
[0037] The flip motor 19 can operate to rotate the outer picking component 17, preventing the outer picking component 17 from interfering with the operation of the picking component 17 installed in the center docking groove 18.
[0038] In this embodiment, a telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected above the reversing support plate 8, and an L-shaped push rod 13 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the telescopic rod 12. When the telescopic rod 12 retracts, the material taking component 17 facing the opening of the docking groove 18 can be pushed into the docking groove 18 for quick docking through the L-shaped push rod 13.
[0039] In this embodiment: when it is necessary to replace different material picking components 17, the reversing motor 9 is started, and the conversion gear 11 drives the conversion gear ring 10 to rotate, so that the mounting slide 16 on which different material picking components 17 are installed can be rotated to align with the opening on one side of the docking groove 18.
[0040] Finally, the slide table 16 is installed to drive the material picking component 17 to slide into the docking groove 18, so that the power supply interface on one side of the material picking component 17 is aligned with the power supply terminal 20 in the docking groove 18. Then, the material picking component 17, which has moved to the middle, can be controlled to pick up materials.
[0041] When the material handling component 17 needs to be replaced again, the spring 15 can pull out the material handling component 17 installed in the docking groove 18, and then the gear ring 10 can be rotated to replace it.
[0042] The flip motor 19 can operate to rotate the outer picking component 17, preventing the outer picking component 17 from interfering with the operation of the picking component 17 installed in the center docking groove 18.
[0043] When the telescopic rod 12 retracts, the material taking part 17 facing the opening of the docking groove 18 can be pushed into the docking groove 18 by the L-shaped push rod 13 for quick docking.

[0046] In this embodiment, a translation slide 5 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the robotic arm assembly 2, and a drive belt 4 is fixedly connected inside the translation slide 5. Drive wheels 7 are connected to both ends of the drive belt 4, and the drive wheels 7 are rotatably connected to the inside of the support base 1.
[0047] A translation motor 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the support base 1. The power output end of the translation motor 3 is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 7 on one side. A translation support platform 6 is fixedly connected inside the support base 1. A translation slide 5 is slidably connected above the translation support platform 6.
[0048] When the translation motor 3 starts to rotate in both directions, it can drive multiple drive belts 4 to move through the drive wheel 7, thereby driving the translation slide 5 to slide left and right on the translation support platform 6, which is used to move and transfer materials between two operating platforms that are far apart.
