[0008] Several second connecting posts pass through the turntable and are fixedly connected to the turntable. The several second connecting posts are arranged in a ring and correspond to the position of the first connecting posts. The end of each second connecting post corresponding to the bottom of the barrel has a positioning groove.

[0009] A positioning component is set on the barrel body at a position corresponding to a second connecting post, and is used to fix the position of the second connecting post;

[0010] The positioning component includes

[0011] The box body has an open end that is located on and connected to the barrel body, and the open end of the box body is directly opposite the positioning groove.

[0012] The movable plate is movably installed inside the box.

[0013] A locking post is set on the movable plate, and the locking post can move in and out of the positioning slot as the movable plate moves.

[0014] Preferably, the positioning component includes a fixed plate disposed on the box body, an electromagnet disposed on the fixed plate, the electromagnet penetrating the box body, a movable plate connected to the inner wall of the box body by a spring, the electromagnet slidingly extending into the spring, and the movable plate being made of iron alloy material.

[0015] Preferably, the side of the locking post facing the positioning groove is an arc surface.

[0016] Preferably, a toothed ring is fixedly fitted on the outer circumferential wall of the turntable, a cover is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the barrel, a through hole is provided on the circumferential wall of the barrel to connect the cover and the barrel, a servo motor is provided on the cover, and a gear is provided at the output end of the servo motor, the gear passing through the through hole and meshing with the toothed ring.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are:

[0018] This application uses a turntable that rotates inside the barrel to align the second connecting column with the position of the robot body. Then, a positioning component fixes the position of the second connecting column corresponding to the tool that is no longer needed, thereby fixing the turntable and ensuring that the positions of all the second connecting columns are fixed. When it is necessary to change the tool, the positioning component only needs to release the second connecting column, and the turntable will send the second connecting column of the corresponding tool to the position of the first connecting column. This application does not require manual operation to change tools, and is more efficient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 In this first embodiment, a quick-change flange interface for use with industrial robots includes...

[0025] The first connecting column 20 is fixedly connected to the first flange 11 at the end of the robot body 10 via the second flange 21;

[0026] The barrel body 30 is connected to the first connecting post 20, which is located at an eccentric position on the barrel body 30.

[0027] Turntable 40 is rotatably mounted inside barrel 30;

[0028] A plurality of second connecting posts 50 respectively penetrate the turntable 40 and are fixedly connected to the turntable 40. The plurality of second connecting posts 50 are arranged in a ring and correspond to the position of the first connecting post 20. The second connecting post 50 has a positioning groove 62 at one end corresponding to the bottom of the barrel 30.

[0029] A positioning component is set on the barrel 30 at a position corresponding to a second connecting post 50, and is used to fix the position of the second connecting post 50;

[0030] The positioning component includes

[0031] The box body 72 has an open end that is located on the barrel body 30 and communicates with the barrel body 30. The open end of the box body 72 is directly opposite the positioning groove 62.

[0032] The movable plate 61 is movably disposed within the housing 72;

[0033] The locking post 60 is set on the movable plate 61. The locking post 60 moves with the movable plate 61 and can enter and exit the positioning slot 62.

[0034] This embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0035] When this application is in use, if a tool needs to be changed, the turntable 40 rotates, and the turntable 40 drives different second connecting posts 50 to move to the position of the first connecting post 20. When the second connecting post 50 corresponding to the required tool moves to the position of the first connecting post 20, the turntable 40 stops. At this time, the moving plate 61 moves inside the box 72, driving the locking post 60 into the positioning groove 62 on the second connecting post 50 corresponding to the unused tool, thereby fixing the position of the second connecting post 50, which also fixes the position of the turntable 40. This completes the tool change, which is more convenient than manual change.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , 2 The positioning component includes a fixing plate 71 set on the box body 72, an electromagnet 70 set on the fixing plate 71, the electromagnet 70 penetrates the box body 72, and a moving plate 61 is connected to the inner wall of the box body 72 by a spring 80. The electromagnet 70 slides into the spring 80, and the moving plate 61 is made of iron alloy.

[0037] The electromagnet 70 can attract the movable plate 61, causing the movable plate 61 to move within the box 72 and compress the spring 80. When the electromagnet 70 is de-energized, the movable plate 61 is reset by the reset action of the spring 80.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 The side of the locking post 60 that faces the positioning groove 62 is an arc surface.

[0039] By setting the locking post 60 to an arc surface, the locking post 60 can enter the positioning groove 62 more smoothly.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 , 2 3. A toothed ring 41 is fixedly fitted on the outer circumferential wall of the turntable 40. A cover 45 is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the barrel 30. A through hole 43 is provided on the circumferential wall of the barrel 30 to connect the cover 45 and the barrel 30. A servo motor 44 is provided on the cover 45. A gear 42 is provided at the output end of the servo motor 44. The gear 42 passes through the through hole 43 and meshes with the toothed ring 41.

[0041] The servo motor 44 can drive the gear 42 to rotate, the gear 42 drives the gear ring 41 to rotate, and the gear ring 41 drives the turntable 40 to rotate.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
