Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of six-axis support equipment technology, and in particular to a six-axis support for testing industrial robots. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of precision inspection in industrial production, industrial robots often require six-axis support mechanisms to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom posture adjustment in order to complete the inspection of workpieces of different sizes and positions. As an important auxiliary device for industrial robots, the six-axis support mechanism can adjust its own spatial posture, enabling the industrial robot to move flexibly and accurately in three-dimensional space. This meets the needs of multi-angle and omnidirectional inspection of workpieces and is widely used in quality inspection processes in industries such as automotive manufacturing, electronics processing, and mechanical assembly, providing crucial support for improving inspection accuracy and efficiency.

[0003] However, traditional six-axis support mechanisms have significant shortcomings in practical applications. On the one hand, when installing industrial robots of different models and specifications, the lack of a unified installation interface and standardized connection structure often requires targeted processing or modification of the connecting components of the six-axis support mechanism. This cumbersome and time-consuming installation process severely impacts the efficiency of equipment replacement and debugging, making it difficult to meet the diverse, small-batch testing needs of modern production. On the other hand, when the six-axis support mechanism is under extreme conditions, such as bearing large loads, undergoing large-angle tilting, or rapid attitude adjustments, its structural stability and stress balance are difficult to guarantee. It cannot provide effective support and protection, and is prone to component damage and attitude deviation, thereby affecting the testing accuracy and equipment safety of the industrial robot and failing to meet the requirements of high-precision and high-reliability testing.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a six-axis support for the inspection of an industrial robot. Utility Model Content

Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides a six-axis support for the inspection of an industrial robot, comprising:

[0026] A six-axis support mechanism 100 includes a lower mounting base 10, an upper mounting base 20, a damping mechanism 40, and a control panel 14. The lower mounting base 10 has two mounting holes 11 on three sides of its upper surface. The damping mechanism 40 is fixedly installed inside the mounting holes 11. A connecting seat 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the damping mechanism 40. A cylinder 13 is hinged to the upper end of the connecting seat 12. The upper mounting base 20 is hinged to the ends of the output shafts of multiple cylinders 13. A connecting mechanism 30 is disposed on the upper surface of the upper mounting base 20, including components fixedly mounted on the upper mounting base. The cylinder 21 on the lower wall of the upper mounting base 20, the lower connecting base 32 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the upper mounting base 20, and the upper connecting base 36 set on the upper end of the lower connecting base 32. The push plate 35 is slidably connected inside the lower connecting base 32. The output shaft end of the cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the lower wall of the push plate 35. Multiple mounting holes 33 are evenly arranged on the upper outer wall of the lower connecting base 32. Limiting balls 34 are rolled inside the mounting holes 33. Multiple limiting holes 37 are evenly arranged on the lower inner wall of the upper connecting base 36. The mounting holes 33 and the limiting holes 37 are mutually adapted.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, a connecting mechanism 30 is set on the six-axis support, which enables rapid assembly and disassembly of the six-axis support and the industrial robot. A damping mechanism 40 is set on the six-axis support, which dissipates some of the pressure on the cylinder on the pressure side when the six-axis support is under extreme working conditions, thereby improving the service life and stability of the equipment.

[0028] It should be noted that during the installation of the industrial robot, the upper connecting seat 36 is fixed to the bottom of the industrial robot by magnetic attraction or bolts, and the upper connecting seat 36 is installed on top of the lower connecting seat 32. At this time, the control panel 14 controls the extension of the cylinder 31. During the extension process, the cylinder 31 pushes the push plate 35 upward. During the upward movement of the push plate 35, the push plate 35 pushes the limiting ball 34 in the mounting hole 33 outward, so that one end of the mounting hole 33 enters the limiting hole 37, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the industrial robot. During the testing of the industrial robot, when the tilt angle of the upper mounting seat 20 platform around the X-axis or Y-axis is too large, usually exceeding 30°, the following occurs: "one-sided support leg is compressed, and the..." In the extreme stress state of "side support leg under tension", the position of the mounting base 20 is monitored by the outer wall 15 of the control panel 14. The control panel 14 controls the electromagnetic coil 45 in the damping mechanism 40 on the pressure side to be energized. After the electromagnetic coil 45 is energized, a magnetic field is generated. Under the influence of the magnetic field, the flow resistance of the magnetorheological fluid 44 changes. The flow resistance of the magnetorheological fluid 44 increases with the increase of electrical energy. By increasing the flow resistance of the magnetorheological fluid 44 on the pressure side, the instantaneous impact pressure is converted into the internal energy dissipation of the damping mechanism 40 through the opposite force between the flow resistance and the pressure direction of the cylinder 13. This reduces the net pressure actually borne by the cylinder 13, thereby improving the service life and stability of the equipment.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the damping mechanism 40 includes a housing 41 fixedly installed inside the mounting hole 11, a piston 42 slidably connected inside the housing 41, a guide rod 43 fixedly installed on the upper wall of the piston 42, one end of the guide rod 43 reaching the outer wall of the housing 41 and fixedly connected to the lower wall of the connecting seat 12, a magnetorheological fluid 44 filling the space between the piston 42 and the inner wall of the housing 41, and an electromagnetic coil 45 fixedly installed in the middle of the piston 42 to protect the cylinder 13 on the pressure side under extreme working conditions, thereby improving the service life of the equipment.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, a sealing ring 46 is provided between the housing 41 and the guide rod 43 to improve the sealing effect of the housing 41.

[0031] In one optional embodiment, multiple 15s are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the control panel 14, and each 15 corresponds to the position of the cylinder 13. During the operation of the six-axis support, the distance between the 15 and the upper mounting base 20 is detected by the 15. The distance is used to determine whether the six-axis support is under extreme working conditions. When the extreme working conditions are detected, the 15 transmits an electrical signal to the control panel 14. The control panel 14 controls the damping mechanism 40 on the side corresponding to the 15 to work, so as to accurately adjust the six-axis support.

[0032] In one optional embodiment, threaded holes are provided at all four corners of the upper surface of the upper connector 36, and a permanent magnet 38 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the upper connector 36. The upper connector 36 can be connected to the industrial robot by magnetic attraction or bolt installation, and has multiple installation methods.

[0033] In one optional embodiment, the control panel 14 is provided with control buttons and a display screen on the outside, and the control panel 14 is provided with a control circuit board and a battery inside. The control panel 14 is electrically connected to cylinders 13 and 15, cylinder 31 and electromagnetic coil 45. The control panel 14 controls the start and stop of cylinders 13 and 15, cylinder 31 and electromagnetic coil 45 to achieve automatic fixing and buffering.
