[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See Figure 1-3 As shown, a new energy vehicle sheet metal assembly robotic arm includes a fixedly connected mounting base 1 and a connecting base 2. The top of the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to a matching upper guard plate 12 and a lower guard plate 13. The top of the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to a drive mechanism 7. Limiting shafts 9 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the mounting base 1. Drive arms 3 are movably sleeved at both ends of the limiting shafts 9. The bottom end of the drive arm 3 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 4. A limiting layer 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing plate 4. The bottom end of the drive mechanism 7 is provided with a drive rod 10. The bottom end of the drive rod 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting horizontal plate 8. Limiting seats 6 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting horizontal plate 8. Connecting blocks 5 are movably connected to both ends of the limiting seats 6. The connecting blocks 5 are also movably connected to the drive arm 3.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, the connecting seat 2 has two sets of downward angled ends, which are fixedly connected to the two ends of the mounting seat 1. The limiting shaft 9 has two sets, and its outer end is fixedly connected to the bottom angled end of the connecting seat 2. The connecting horizontal plate 8 is rectangular in shape and located below the limiting shaft 9. The connecting seat 2 achieves the effect of limiting the installation of the limiting shaft 9, the limiting shaft 9 provides support and guidance for the drive arm 3, and the connecting horizontal plate 8 drives the limiting seat 6 to rise and fall.

[0027] Two sets of limiting seats 6 are arranged horizontally in an "H" shape. Their outer ends are connected to the connecting blocks 5 by a shaft and a rotating mechanism. Two sets of connecting blocks 5 are arranged vertically in a "Y" shape, in pairs. The outer ends of the connecting blocks 5 are connected to the drive arm 3 by a shaft and a rotating mechanism. The drive arm 3 is arranged in a "Z" shape. Its top end is movably connected to the limiting shaft 9, and its middle section is movably connected to the connecting blocks 5. The fixing plate 4 is a rectangular plate, and the limiting layer 11 is a rectangular rubber layer with a "V" shaped concave surface. The limiting seats 6 can drive the connecting blocks 5 connected at both ends to rotate and adjust their angle. The connecting blocks 5 can drive the drive arm 3 to rotate and adjust as a whole. The drive arm 3 can drive the fixing plate 4 and the limiting layer 11 to adjust inward and outward. The limiting layer 11 can limit and clamp the workpiece to its outer length.

[0028] When clamping and assembling the outer workpiece, the drive mechanism 7 and drive rod 10 rise and fall vertically, causing the connecting horizontal plate 8 to descend below the mounting base 1. The descent of the connecting horizontal plate 8, under the action of the limiting seat 6, causes the connecting blocks 5 at both ends of the limiting seat 6 to flip and adjust. The flipping and adjustment of the connecting blocks 5 pushes the drive arm 3 to flip and adjust inward and outward as a whole, thereby causing the limiting layer 11 to move inward and outward, clamping and supporting the outer workpiece.

[0029] The upper guard plate 12 is L-shaped and fits the top of the mounting base 1. Its bottom end and the lower guard plate 13 are connected by a rotating shaft. A drive motor is installed at the outer end of the shaft. The lower guard plate 13 is L-shaped and located below the drive arm 3. The upper guard plate 12 and the lower guard plate 13 are movably connected to achieve the effect of protecting the long workpiece in the external clamping state from the bottom position.

[0030] After clamping the long workpiece, the lower guard plate 13 flips inward, changing from a vertical to a horizontal state, protecting the long workpiece from below and preventing it from falling.

[0031] In this device, the drive mechanism 7 is a hydraulic drive mechanism, specifically model BOSCHREXROTH (HMI series compact hydraulic mechanism); the drive motor is a servo motor mechanism, MINASA6 series (such as MHMF082L1U2M).

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
