AI Technical Summary
Traditional robot head motion mechanisms are complex in structure, lack motion accuracy and stability, have high maintenance costs, limited flexibility and response speed, and have an unsatisfactory load-bearing capacity to weight ratio.
It adopts a single-degree-of-freedom telescopic structure and a three-degree-of-freedom gimbal neck structure. It uses a motor to drive the lead screw movement, combined with a specific trajectory guide rail and a three-pulley constraint mechanism to simplify the transmission chain, eliminate backlash accumulation error, and directly drive the rotational degree of freedom through three motors. Combined with the center of gravity axis intersection design, it improves dynamic response and anti-disturbance capability.
It significantly simplifies the transmission chain, improves motion accuracy and dynamic response, expands the operating field of view, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances the flexibility and stability of robot head movement.
