Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sensor manufacturing equipment, and in particular relates to a clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Sensor manufacturing equipment refers to industrial equipment and systems specifically designed for sensor research and development, production, packaging, and testing, covering the entire process from chip manufacturing to finished product assembly.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of sensors, existing sensor manufacturing equipment typically includes a clamping device. This device holds the sensor body and then installs various components onto the sensor to create the finished product. Taking the manufacturing of a six-dimensional force sensor as an example, existing sensor manufacturing equipment usually clamps the six-dimensional force sensor onto the clamping mechanism first, and then attaches strain gauges to the sensor so that it can detect relevant data.
[0004] However, in existing sensor manufacturing equipment, when the type or size of the sensor changes, the entire clamping mechanism needs to be replaced. For example, taking a six-dimensional force sensor as an example, when the radial dimension of the six-dimensional force sensor increases or decreases, the strain gauges set on the sensor body are extremely small and require high assembly precision. In addition, to avoid interference between the clamping mechanism and the patching device when applying strain gauges to the six-dimensional force sensor later, a new clamping mechanism generally needs to be designed to adapt to the six-dimensional force sensor after the size is changed. That is, a new clamping mechanism needs to be designed for different types or sizes of sensors, which makes the manufacturing cost of the sensor higher. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in the prior art, sensor manufacturing equipment requires the design of new clamping mechanisms for different types or sizes of sensors, which leads to higher manufacturing costs for sensors.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, including a base and a clamping unit detachably disposed on one side of the base; wherein, the clamping unit has a clamping part on the side away from the base, and the clamping part is used to clamp the sensor; and the base and the clamping unit are connected to each other through a detachable unit, the detachable unit including a plurality of positioning parts and fixing parts extending perpendicular to one end face of the base.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment clamps the sensor through the clamping part of the clamping unit during use. If the size or type of the sensor changes, since the clamping unit is connected to the base through a detachable unit, the clamping unit can be removed from the base and replaced. This allows the clamping part of the replaced clamping unit to clamp the sensor whose size or type has changed. Therefore, this clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment has the advantages of wide applicability and convenient replacement of the clamping unit. Furthermore, when the sensor type or size changes during the sensor manufacturing process, it is not necessary to design and replace the entire clamping mechanism; only the clamping unit needs to be replaced, thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the sensor.
[0008] Furthermore, by setting up a detachable unit including multiple positioning parts and fixing parts extending perpendicular to one side of the base, when replacing the clamping unit, the clamping unit is first pre-positioned by the multiple positioning parts, and then fixed by the fixing parts. During this process, since the clamping unit is pre-positioned by the multiple positioning parts, the clamping unit can be accurately fixed to one side of the base by the fixing parts without shifting its position. Moreover, since the clamping unit is replaced, the replaced clamping unit can accurately clamp the replaced sensor by the clamping parts, achieving the purpose of high-precision clamping.
[0009] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, wherein the fixing part is configured as an adsorption component that is relatively fixed to one side end face of the base; wherein the adsorption component adsorbs the corresponding side of the clamping unit so that the clamping unit is relatively fixed to one side end face of the base.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing part is set as an adsorption component, so that when replacing the clamping unit, the clamping unit can be removed simply by loosening the clamping unit through the adsorption component; then the corresponding side of the new clamping unit can be adsorbed by the adsorption component to fix the clamping unit, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient and quick replacement of the clamping unit.
[0011] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, wherein the adsorption component includes a plurality of adsorption members spaced apart on one side end face of the base; wherein the adsorption ends of the plurality of adsorption members are all facing the corresponding side of the clamping unit, and the corresponding side of the adsorption clamping unit fixes the clamping unit to one side end face of the base.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, since the adsorption component includes multiple adsorption members spaced apart on one side end face of the base, when the adsorption component adsorbs the corresponding side of the clamping unit, the multiple adsorption members can adsorb each position on the corresponding side of the clamping unit, thereby further ensuring that the clamping unit can be reliably fixed to one side end face of the base.
[0013] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, wherein the fixing part is a plug-in component that is fixed to one side end face of the base, and the plug-in component is fixedly and detachably connected to the corresponding side of the clamping unit so that the clamping unit is fixed to one side end face of the base.
[0014] Alternatively, the fixing part is a snap-fit component that is fixed to one side of the base, and the snap-fit component is fixedly and detachably connected to the corresponding side of the clamping unit, so that the clamping unit is fixed to one side of the base.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing part is set as a plug-in component that is fixed to one side of the base. The clamping unit is fixed to one side of the base through the plug-in component. Since the plug-in component does not require bolts or glue, it can be fixed by direct plugging. Therefore, it has the advantages of high disassembly and assembly efficiency and convenient maintenance when replacing the clamping unit.
[0016] In addition, the fixing part is set as a snap-fit component that is fixed to one side of the base. The snap-fit component relies on its own elastic buckle and slot to lock. During assembly, it can be positioned and fixed by simply pressing and pushing in. No tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, or welding equipment are needed, which greatly shortens the assembly time when replacing the clamping unit and significantly improves the replacement efficiency of the clamping unit.
[0017] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, the clamping mechanism further comprising an intermediate connecting component fixedly and detachably mounted on one side of the base.
[0018] The fixing part is fixedly installed on the side end face of the intermediate connecting component facing the clamping unit, and the clamping unit is relatively fixed to the side end face of the base through the intermediate connecting component.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing part is fixedly installed on the side end face of the intermediate connecting part facing the clamping unit. Since the intermediate connecting part is detachably installed on one side of the base, when replacing the clamping unit, if the size of the clamping unit is too large, resulting in a heavy clamping unit and insufficient locking force applied by the fixing part, the intermediate connecting part can be removed, the type of fixing part can be changed, or the locking force of the fixing part can be increased, thereby further enabling the clamping unit to be reliably fixed relative to one side end face of the base.
[0020] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, wherein the intermediate connecting component is configured as an intermediate connecting plate, the end face of the intermediate connecting plate away from the clamping unit is attached to the end face of the base, and the intermediate connecting plate is provided with a plurality of receiving cavities that correspond one-to-one with a plurality of adsorption components.
[0021] Each adsorption component is installed in its corresponding receiving cavity, and the adsorption end of each adsorption component is fixedly attached to the corresponding side of the clamping unit of the intermediate connecting plate near the clamping unit.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, each adsorption component is installed in its corresponding receiving cavity, which can protect each adsorption component and reduce the risk of damage caused by collisions between the adsorption components and other adjacent components or by personnel when changing the clamping unit; on the other hand, it will make the structure of this clamping mechanism more compact.
[0023] Furthermore, an embodiment of this utility model also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, wherein multiple receiving cavities are evenly arranged on an intermediate connecting plate, and each adsorption component is configured as a suction cup.
[0024] Each suction cup is fixedly installed in its corresponding receiving cavity, and the suction nozzle of each suction cup is flush with or higher than the side end face of the intermediate connecting plate near the clamping unit. The suction nozzle of each suction cup adsorbs the corresponding side of the clamping unit and is fixedly attached to the side end face of the intermediate connecting plate.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, since multiple receiving cavities are evenly arranged on the intermediate connecting plate, each adsorption component can be evenly spaced on the intermediate connecting plate after being installed into the receiving cavity. Therefore, when each adsorption component is set as a suction cup, and the corresponding side of the suction cup's nozzle adsorbs and clamps the unit and is fixedly attached to one end face of the intermediate connecting plate, each position on the corresponding side of the clamping unit can be subjected to uniform adsorption force, avoiding the risk of displacement of the clamping unit due to uneven local stress. Furthermore, since the corresponding side of each suction cup's nozzle adsorbs and clamps the unit and is fixedly attached to one end face of the intermediate connecting plate, there is greater friction between the corresponding side of the clamping unit and one end face of the intermediate connecting plate, thereby further ensuring that the position of the clamping unit will not shift.
[0026] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, wherein multiple positioning parts are configured as multiple positioning components; wherein, the intermediate connecting component is provided with positioning holes corresponding to each positioning component, and the clamping unit is provided with mounting holes corresponding to each positioning component on the side near the base, and one end of each positioning component extends into the corresponding positioning hole and the other end extends into the corresponding mounting hole, so as to position and install the clamping unit on the intermediate connecting component.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning part is set as multiple positioning components. When replacing the clamping unit, one end of each positioning component is first inserted into the corresponding positioning hole and the other end is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole to position and install the clamping unit on the intermediate connecting component, thereby achieving the pre-positioning of the clamping unit. Then, the clamping unit is adsorbed and fixed by multiple adsorption components, avoiding problems such as positional shift, misalignment, and tilting of the clamping unit during assembly. This ensures the relative positional accuracy between the clamping unit and the intermediate connecting component, enabling multiple adsorption components to reliably adsorb and fix the clamping unit.
[0028] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment. The clamping unit is configured as a clamping plate, and the clamping plate has a mounting recess on the side away from the base and at least one marking area is provided at intervals. In the thickness direction of the clamping plate, each marking area is offset from the mounting recess.
[0029] The mounting recess serves as a clamping part, and the sensor is at least partially embedded within the mounting recess.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping part is set as a mounting recess on the side of the clamping plate away from the base. Then, the sensor is at least partially embedded in the mounting recess. On the one hand, the mounting recess can limit the sensor in the circumferential direction, so that the sensor can be reliably fixed to the clamping plate. On the other hand, the mounting recess itself has a limiting and guiding function. After the clamping unit is embedded in the mounting recess, it can automatically align its position, so that the clamping unit will not slide, deflect or misalign, thus ensuring the requirements of high assembly position accuracy and good consistency of the clamping unit.
[0031] Furthermore, by setting a marking area, when the sensor is embedded in the mounting recess, it is convenient to perform automatic visual calibration through at least one marking area when the imaging device captures images of the sensor to measure relevant data, so that the imaging device can accurately capture images of the sensor.
[0032] Furthermore, the embodiments of this utility model also disclose a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment. The clamping mechanism further includes a frame and a drive assembly mounted on the frame. The base is movably connected to the frame, and the drive end of the drive assembly is connected to the base for driving the base to rotate and / or swing relative to the frame.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the base is movably connected to the frame, and the drive end of the drive component is connected to the base. When the clamping unit clamps the sensor, it is necessary to change the position of the sensor to measure relevant data. When installing corresponding parts on the sensor, the base can be driven to rotate and / or swing relative to the frame through the drive component, thereby adjusting the position of the sensor, which facilitates the measurement of relevant data and achieves the purpose of installing corresponding parts on the sensor.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0035] This utility model discloses a clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment, including a base and a clamping unit detachably disposed on one side of the base. The clamping unit has a clamping portion on its side away from the base, which is used to clamp a sensor. The base and the clamping unit are connected to each other via the detachable unit. Therefore, during use, this clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment clamps the sensor through the clamping portion of the clamping unit. If the size or type of the sensor changes, the clamping unit can be removed from the base and replaced using the detachable unit. The clamping portion of the replaced clamping unit can then clamp the sensor whose size or type has changed. Thus, this clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment has the advantages of wide applicability and convenient clamping unit replacement. Furthermore, when the type or size of the sensor changes during sensor production, it is not necessary to replace the entire clamping mechanism; only the clamping unit needs to be replaced, reducing the manufacturing cost of the sensor.
[0036] Furthermore, by providing a detachable unit that includes multiple positioning parts and fixing parts extending perpendicular to one side of the base, when replacing the clamping unit, the clamping unit is first pre-positioned by the multiple positioning parts, and then fixed by the fixing parts. During this process, since the clamping unit is pre-positioned by the multiple positioning parts, the clamping unit is accurately fixed to one side of the base by the fixing parts, and its position will not shift.

[0058] As described in the background section, existing sensor manufacturing equipment requires the design of new clamping mechanisms for different types or sizes of sensors, which increases the manufacturing cost of sensors.
[0059] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment, comprising a base and a clamping unit detachably disposed on one side of the base, wherein the base and the clamping unit are connected together via the detachable unit; if the size or type of the sensor changes, the clamping unit can be removed from the base and replaced via the detachable unit, so that the clamping part of the replaced clamping unit can be adapted to clamp sensors whose size or type has changed, without having to replace the entire clamping mechanism, thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the sensor.
[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a clamping mechanism for a sensor manufacturing equipment, including a base 1 and a clamping unit 2 detachably disposed on one side of the base 1.
[0062] Specifically, a clamping part 20 is provided on the side of the clamping unit 2 away from the base 1 (see [link]). Figure 3 The clamping part 20 is used to clamp the sensor 7; and the base 1 and the clamping unit 2 are connected to each other by a detachable unit 3.
[0063] More specifically, in the use of this clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment, the clamping part 20 of the clamping unit 2 clamps the sensor 7. If the size or type of the sensor 7 changes, since the clamping unit 2 is connected to the base 1 via the detachable unit 3, the clamping unit 2 can be removed from the base 1 for replacement. This allows the clamping part 20 of the replaced clamping unit 2 to clamp the sensor 7 whose size or type has changed. Therefore, this clamping mechanism for sensor manufacturing equipment has the advantages of wide applicability and convenient replacement of the clamping unit 2. Furthermore, when the sensor manufacturing equipment produces the sensor 7, if the type or size of the sensor 7 changes, it is not necessary to design and replace the entire clamping mechanism; only the clamping unit 2 needs to be replaced, reducing the manufacturing cost of the sensor 7. It should be understood that a change in the type of the sensor 7 can be replacing a cylindrical sensor with a cuboid sensor, in which case a different clamping unit 2 needs to be replaced.
[0064] Furthermore, the detachable unit 3 includes multiple positioning parts 31 and fixing parts 30 extending perpendicularly to one end face of the base 1. When replacing the clamping unit 2, the clamping unit 2 is first pre-positioned by the multiple positioning parts 31, and then fixed by the fixing parts 30. During this process, because the clamping unit 2 is pre-positioned by the multiple positioning parts 31, the clamping unit 2 can be accurately fixed to one side of the base 1 by the fixing parts 30, and its position will not shift. Moreover, because the clamping unit 2 is replaced, the replaced clamping unit 2 can accurately clamp the replaced sensor 7 by the clamping parts 20, achieving the purpose of high-precision clamping. It should be understood that the number of positioning parts 31 can be set to 1, 2, 4, etc., and this embodiment is not limited to a single one.
[0065] More specifically, the structure and arrangement of the base 1 are not limited. For example, it can be set as a circular connecting plate, a rectangular connecting plate, etc., or it can be set as a circular connecting block, a rectangular connecting block, etc. This embodiment does not limit it to a single one.
[0066] More specifically, the structure and arrangement of the fixing part 30 are not limited. For example, it can be an adsorption part, a plug-in part, a snap-fit part, etc. The following is an example.
[0067] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixing part 30 is configured as an adsorption component that is fixed to one side end face of the base 1; wherein, the adsorption component adsorbs the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2, so that the clamping unit 2 is fixed to one side end face of the base 1. Thus, when replacing the clamping unit 2, the clamping unit 2 can be removed simply by loosening it through the adsorption component; then, the corresponding side of the new clamping unit 2 can be adsorbed through the adsorption component to fix the clamping unit 2, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient and quick replacement of the clamping unit 2.
[0068] More specifically, the structure and arrangement of the adsorption components are not limited; the following examples will illustrate this.
[0069] In one embodiment, the adsorption component includes a plurality of adsorption members 300 spaced apart on one end face of the base 1; wherein the adsorption ends of the plurality of adsorption members 300 all face the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2, and the clamping unit 2 is relatively fixed to one end face of the base 1 by adsorbing the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 through the adsorption ends of the plurality of adsorption members 300. It should be understood that the number of the plurality of adsorption members 300 is not limited, for example, it can be 2, 4, 6, etc., and this embodiment does not make a unique limitation.
[0070] Specifically, when the adsorption component adsorbs the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2, multiple adsorption components 300 can adsorb various positions on the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2, thereby fixing each position on the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 and ensuring that the clamping unit 2 can be reliably fixed relative to one end face of the base 1. It should be noted that the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 is the side of the clamping unit 2 closest to the base 1.
[0071] More specifically, the structure and arrangement of the adsorption component 300 are not limited, and it can be configured as a suction cup 301, a magnetic block, an electromagnetic connector, etc. This embodiment does not limit it to a single type.
[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to enable the fixing part 30 to reliably adsorb sensors 7 of different sizes or types, in one embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes an intermediate connecting part 4 that is fixedly and detachably mounted on one side of the base 1. The fixing part 30 is fixedly mounted on the end face of the intermediate connecting part 4 facing the clamping unit 2, and the clamping unit 2 is relatively fixed to one end face of the base 1 via the intermediate connecting part 4.
[0073] Specifically, since the intermediate connecting part 4 is detachably installed on one side of the base 1, when replacing the clamping unit 2, if the size of the clamping unit 2 is too large, resulting in a heavy weight, or if the sensor 7 is replaced and the new sensor 7 is too heavy, and the locking force applied by the fixing part 30 is insufficient, the intermediate connecting part 4 can be removed, the type of fixing part 30 can be changed, or the locking force of the fixing part 30 can be increased, thereby further enabling the clamping unit 2 to be reliably fixed to one side of the base 1.
[0074] More specifically, taking a six-dimensional force sensor as an example, a six-dimensional force sensor is generally ring-shaped. As its size increases, its mass will also increase accordingly. If the size of the six-dimensional force sensor increases significantly, the fixing part 30 needs to be replaced. This allows the fixing part 30 to apply a greater locking force to fix the clamping unit 2. Therefore, by setting the intermediate connecting part 4, it can be detachably installed on the base 1, which has the advantage of facilitating the replacement of the fixing part 30.
[0075] In addition, it should be understood that the detachable connection method can be snap-fit, screw-fit, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it to a single method.
[0076] More specifically, the structure and arrangement of the intermediate connecting component 4 are not limited, and the following is an example.
[0077] In one embodiment, the intermediate connecting component 4 is configured as an intermediate connecting plate 40, with the side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40 away from the clamping unit 2 attached to the side end face of the base 1. Since the side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40 away from the clamping unit 2 is attached to the side end face of the base 1, the structure of this clamping structure is more compact in the thickness direction of the base 1.
[0078] Specifically, the intermediate connecting plate 40 is provided with multiple receiving cavities that correspond one-to-one with the multiple adsorption components 300. Each adsorption component 300 is installed in its corresponding receiving cavity, and the adsorption end of each adsorption component 300 adsorbs the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 and is fixedly attached to the end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40 near the clamping unit 2. This can protect each adsorption component 300 and reduce the risk of each adsorption component 300 being damaged by other adjacent components or by the clamping unit 2 when the personnel replace the clamping unit 2. On the other hand, it makes the structure of this clamping mechanism more compact.
[0079] Of course, the intermediate connecting component can also be set as an intermediate connecting block, intermediate connecting seat, etc., but this embodiment does not limit it to a single type.
[0080] More specifically, in order to ensure that the clamping unit 2 receives a more uniform adsorption force, in one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple accommodating cavities are evenly arranged on the intermediate connecting plate 40, and each adsorption component 300 is configured as a suction cup 301.
[0081] More specifically, each suction cup 301 is fixedly installed in its corresponding receiving cavity, and the suction nozzle of each suction cup 301 is flush with or higher than the side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40 near the clamping unit 2. The suction nozzle of each suction cup 301 adsorbs the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 and is fixedly attached to the side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40.
[0082] More specifically, since the multiple receiving cavities are evenly arranged on the intermediate connecting plate 40, each adsorption component 300, after being installed into the receiving cavity, can be evenly spaced on the intermediate connecting plate 40. Therefore, when each adsorption component 300 is set as a suction cup 301, and the suction nozzle of the suction cup 301 adsorbs and holds the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 and fixes it to one end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40, each position on the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 can be subjected to uniform adsorption force, avoiding the risk of displacement of the clamping unit 2 due to uneven local stress. It should be understood that the number of multiple receiving cavities can be 2, 4, 6, etc., and this embodiment is not limited to a single one.
[0083] Furthermore, since the suction nozzle of each suction cup 301 adsorbs and holds the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 and is fixedly attached to one end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40, there is greater friction between the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 and one end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40, thereby further ensuring that the position of the clamping unit 2 will not shift.
[0084] More specifically, the multiple receiving cavities are evenly arranged on the intermediate connecting plate 40. They can be arranged in an array on the connecting plate with the same spacing between adjacent cavities; or they can be arranged in a ring along the circumference of the connecting plate with the same spacing between adjacent cavities. This embodiment does not limit this to a single specific arrangement.
[0085] More specifically, when the nozzles of each suction cup 301 are flush with the side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40 near the clamping unit 2, the side of the clamping unit 2 near the nozzle should be designed as a flat plane, so that the nozzle of each suction cup 301 adsorbs and fixes the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 to one side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40. When the nozzles of each suction cup 301 are higher than one side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40, under the premise that the side of the clamping unit 2 near the nozzle is a flat plane, multiple grooves should be provided on the side of the clamping unit 2 near the nozzle, so that after the nozzles extend into the grooves and adsorb the clamping unit 2, the nozzle of each suction cup 301 adsorbs and fixes the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 to one side end face of the intermediate connecting plate 40.
[0086] It should be understood that when the adsorption component 300 is set as a suction cup 301, the air inlet pipe of each suction cup 301 passes through the base 1 and is connected to the corresponding suction cup 301.
[0087] Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the adsorption component 300 is configured as an electromagnetic adsorption component, each electromagnetic adsorption component is configured as an electromagnet, which generates magnetic attraction when energized. The clamping unit 2 has a ferromagnetic region corresponding to each electromagnet on the side near the adsorption component 300. A controllable magnetic field is generated by each electromagnet to attract the corresponding ferromagnetic region, thereby fixing the clamping unit 2. It should be understood that the ferromagnetic region can be made of materials such as iron, steel, nickel, or cobalt.
[0088] Furthermore, the fixing part 30 can be configured not only as an adsorption component, but also as a plug-in component, a snap-fit component, etc., as illustrated below.
[0089] In another embodiment, the fixing part 30 is a plug-in component (not shown in the figure) that is fixed to one side end face of the base 1, and the plug-in component is fixed and detachably connected to the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2 so that the clamping unit 2 is fixed to one side end face of the base 1.
[0090] Specifically, since the plug-in component eliminates the need for bolts or glue, allowing for direct insertion and fixation, it offers advantages such as fast assembly and disassembly when replacing the clamping unit 2 and convenient maintenance. It should be understood that when the fixing part 30 is configured as a plug-in component fixed to one side of the base 1, an intermediate connecting part 4 can also be provided to install the plug-in component.
[0091] More specifically, the structure and arrangement of the snap-fit component are not limited. For example, it can be configured with multiple pins, and multiple insertion holes corresponding to the pins are provided on the intermediate connecting component 4. Multiple connecting holes corresponding to the insertion holes are provided on the clamping unit 2. By inserting one end of each pin into the corresponding insertion hole and the other end into the corresponding connecting hole, and then fixing the pin, the clamping unit 2 can be fixedly installed. Of course, the snap-fit component can also be configured as a wedge key, spline, wedge block, etc. This embodiment is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art can design it according to their own needs.
[0092] In another embodiment, the fixing part 30 is a snap-fit component (not shown in the figure) that is fixed to one side end face of the base 1, and the snap-fit component is fixedly and detachably connected to the corresponding side of the clamping unit 2, so that the clamping unit 2 is fixed to one side end face of the base 1. It should be understood that when the fixing part 30 is set as a snap-fit component that is fixed to one side end face of the base 1, an intermediate connecting part 4 may also be provided to install the snap-fit component.
[0093] Specifically, the fixing part 30 is set as a snap-fit component that is fixed to one side of the base 1. The snap-fit component is locked by its own elastic buckle and slot. During assembly, it can be positioned and fixed by simply pressing and pushing in. No tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, or welding equipment are required. This greatly shortens the assembly time when replacing the clamping unit 2 and significantly improves the replacement efficiency of the clamping unit 2.
[0094] More specifically, the structure and setting method of the snap-fit component are not limited. For example, it can be set as a buckle, hook, etc. This embodiment does not limit it. The following examples will be used for illustration.
[0095] In one embodiment, the snap-fit component is configured to include multiple snap hooks, with the fixed end of each snap hook fixed to the intermediate connecting component 4. The snap hooks extend towards the clamping unit 2, and a corresponding and compatible slot is provided on a corresponding side of the clamping unit 2. By snapping the snap end of each snap hook into the corresponding slot, the clamping unit 2 is fixedly installed.
[0096] Furthermore, the structure and arrangement of the positioning unit 31 will be further explained below.
[0097] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the multiple positioning parts 31 are configured as multiple positioning members 310; wherein, the intermediate connecting member 4 is provided with positioning holes corresponding to each positioning member 310, and the clamping unit 2 is provided with mounting holes corresponding to each positioning member 310 on the side near the base 1. One end of each positioning member 310 extends into the corresponding positioning hole, and the other end extends into the corresponding mounting hole, so as to position and install the clamping unit 2 on the intermediate connecting member 4.
[0098] Specifically, when replacing the clamping unit 2, one end of each positioning component 310 is first inserted into the corresponding positioning hole, and the other end is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole to position and install the clamping unit 2 on the intermediate connecting component 4, thereby achieving the pre-positioning of the clamping unit 2. Then, the clamping unit 2 is adsorbed and fixed by multiple adsorption components 300 to avoid problems such as positional shift, misalignment, or tilting of the clamping unit 2 during assembly, ensuring the relative positional accuracy between the clamping unit 2 and the intermediate connecting component 4, so that the multiple adsorption components 300 can reliably adsorb and fix the clamping unit 2.
[0099] More specifically, the structure and arrangement of the positioning component 310 are not limited. For example, it can be set as a positioning pin, a connecting pin, etc. This embodiment does not limit it to a single one.
[0100] The structure and arrangement of clamping unit 2 will be further explained below.
[0101] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping unit 2 is configured as a clamping plate 21, and the clamping plate 21 has a mounting recess 22 on the side away from the base 1, and at least one marking area is provided at intervals, and each marking area is offset from the mounting recess in the thickness direction of the clamping plate.
[0102] Specifically, the mounting recess 22 serves as a clamping part 20, and the sensor 7 is at least partially embedded in the mounting recess 22.
[0103] Specifically, the sensor 7 is at least partially embedded in the mounting recess 22. On the one hand, the mounting recess 22 can limit the sensor 7 in the circumferential direction, so that the sensor 7 can be reliably fixed to the clamping plate 21. On the other hand, the mounting recess 22 itself has a limiting and guiding function. After the clamping unit 2 is embedded in the mounting recess 22, it can automatically align its position, so that the clamping unit 2 will not slide, deflect, or misalign, ensuring the high accuracy and consistency of the assembly position of the clamping unit 2. It should be understood that the sensor 7 being at least partially embedded in the mounting recess 22 can be 1 / 3, 1 / 2, 3 / 4, etc. of the thickness of the sensor 7, and this embodiment does not make a unique limitation.
[0104] Furthermore, by setting a marking area, when the sensor 7 is embedded in the mounting recess 22, it facilitates automatic visual calibration by using at least one marking area when a photographing device (e.g., a camera) captures images of the sensor 7 to measure related data. This allows the photographing device to accurately capture images of the sensor 7. It should be understood that the number of marking areas can be one, two, four, etc., and the shape of the marking areas can be crisscross, triangular, rectangular, etc., and this embodiment does not impose a unique limitation. It should be noted that automatic visual calibration refers to the technical process by which a computer vision system automatically completes the accurate measurement, calculation, correction, and updating of camera parameters without or with minimal human intervention.
[0105] More specifically, in some embodiments, the clamping unit 2 may also be configured as a clamping seat or clamping block, etc., which is not limited to this embodiment. More specifically, the mounting recess 22 may be a connecting groove formed on the side of the clamping plate 21 away from the base 1. The shape of the connecting groove may be circular, rectangular, etc., which is not limited to this embodiment.
[0106] Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the imaging device (e.g., a camera) captures an image of the sensor 7, in order to enable the sensor 7 to clearly present the image, a low-reflection coating is generally provided on the outer surface of the clamping plate 21 to improve the contrast between the outer surface of the clamping plate 21 and the sensor surface. For example, when the outer surface of the sensor is silver-white, the coating color on the outer surface of the clamping plate 21 is generally set to black.
[0107] Furthermore, to achieve the purpose of adjusting the position of the clamping unit 2, in one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the clamping mechanism also includes a frame 5 and a drive assembly 6 mounted on the frame 5; wherein, the base 1 is movably connected to the frame 5, and the drive end of the drive assembly 6 is drively connected to the base 1, and the drive end of the drive assembly 6 can drive the base 1 to rotate and / or swing relative to the frame 5. It should be understood that the drive end of the drive assembly 6 can drive the base 1 to rotate relative to the frame 5, or the drive end of the drive assembly 6 can drive the base 1 to swing relative to the frame 5, or the drive end of the drive assembly 6 can drive the base 1 to both rotate and swing relative to the frame 5; this embodiment is not limited to this only one.
[0108] Specifically, by movably connecting the base 1 to the frame 5, and then driving the drive end of the drive assembly 6 to the base 1, when the clamping unit 2 clamps the sensor 7, and it is necessary to change the position of the sensor 7 to measure relevant data, so as to install the corresponding parts on the sensor 7, the base 1 can be driven to rotate and / or swing relative to the frame 5 through the drive assembly 6, thereby adjusting the position of the sensor 7, so as to facilitate the measurement of relevant data and achieve the purpose of installing the corresponding parts on the sensor 7.
[0109] More specifically, the structure and configuration of driver component 6 are not limited; examples are provided below.
[0110] In one embodiment, the drive assembly 6 includes a first drive member 60 mounted on the frame 5 and a rotating shaft 61 rotatably connected to the frame 5. One end of the first drive member 60 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 61, and the other end of the rotating shaft 61 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The rotating shaft 61 is driven to rotate by the first drive member 60, thereby causing the base 1 to rotate and adjust the position of the clamping unit 2, thereby changing the position of the sensor 7 to measure relevant data.
[0111] Specifically, taking the application of strain gauges to a six-dimensional force sensor as an example, the position of the six-dimensional force sensor can be adjusted through the driving component 6, thereby ensuring accurate positioning of the six-dimensional force sensor and facilitating the measurement of the strain gauge's position using a laser rangefinder. It's important to understand that the strain gauge is the "tactile nerve" of the six-dimensional force sensor, serving as the core of signal processing and intelligent computing, responsible for converting weak electrical signals into torque data that can be recognized by the system.
[0112] More specifically, when the drive assembly 6 adjusts the position of the six-dimensional force sensor, the six-dimensional force sensor has a ring-shaped outer frame with a crossbeam inside the frame. The strain gauge is attached to the first reference surface of the crossbeam with adhesive. If the first reference surface is tilted in the horizontal direction, it will cause the adhesive to flow, resulting in differences in the uniformity of the adhesive layer, which will affect the measurement performance of the strain gauge. Furthermore, the flow of the strain gauge after attachment may cause the strain gauge position to deviate. Therefore, in order to reduce the error when attaching the strain gauge, the position of the clamping unit 2 is adjusted by the drive assembly 6, thereby adjusting the position of the six-dimensional force sensor in conjunction with it, so that the first reference surface coincides with the horizontal plane. This reduces the risk of adhesive flowing during the attachment process, ensures accurate installation of the strain gauge, and results in better quality of the produced six-dimensional force sensor.
[0113] It should be understood that the structure and arrangement of the first driving component 60 are not limited, and the following is an example.
[0114] In one implementation, such as Figure 4As shown, the first driving component 60 is configured to include a driving motor 600, a transmission gear 601 fixedly sleeved on the driving end of the driving motor, a rotating gear 602 fixedly sleeved on one end of the rotating shaft 61, and a transmission belt 603 that is connected to the transmission gear 601 and the rotating gear 602 respectively. The driving motor 600 drives the transmission gear 601 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission belt 603 to move and drive the rotating gear 602 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating gear 602 is linked to the rotation of the rotating shaft 61.
[0115] Of course, in some embodiments, the output end of the drive motor 600 may be fixedly fitted with a first drive gear, and one end of the rotating shaft 61 may be fixedly fitted with a second drive gear, with the first drive gear meshing with the second drive gear. The drive motor 600 drives the first drive gear to rotate, thereby driving the second drive gear to rotate, and then the second drive gear drives the rotating shaft 61 to rotate.
[0116] In another embodiment, the drive assembly 6 includes a second drive member mounted on the frame 5. The base 1 is hinged to the frame 5 and can swing relative to it. The drive end of the second drive member is connected to the base 1, thereby driving the base 1 to swing relative to the frame 5 and changing the position of the sensor 7 to measure relevant data. For example, when attaching strain gauges to a six-dimensional force sensor, the position of the six-dimensional force sensor is required so that one side of the sensor faces the camera. The second drive member can then drive the base 1 to swing relative to the frame 5 to face the camera.
[0117] It should be understood that the structure and arrangement of the second driving component are not limited. For example, it can be configured as a driving cylinder, a driving motor, etc. The embodiments are not limited to one.
[0118] In another embodiment, the drive assembly 6 includes a third drive member and a fourth drive member mounted on the frame 5, and a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the frame 5. One end of the third drive member is driven to one end of the rotating shaft 61, and the other end of the rotating shaft 61 is hinged to the base 1, allowing the base 1 to swing relative to the rotating shaft 61. The third drive member drives the rotating shaft 61 to rotate, thereby rotating the base 1 to adjust the position of the clamping unit 2, thereby changing the position of the sensor 7 to measure relevant data. The drive end of the fourth drive member is driven to the base 1, thereby driving the base 1 to swing relative to the rotating shaft to adjust the position of the clamping unit 2, thereby changing the position of the sensor 7 to measure relevant data.
[0119] It should be understood that the structure and arrangement of the third driving component are not limited, for example, it can be configured as a driving cylinder, a driving motor, etc.; the structure and arrangement of the fourth driving component are not limited, for example, it can be configured as a driving cylinder, a driving motor, etc., and the embodiments are not limited to one.
