Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of worm gear manufacturing technology, and in particular to a central fixture for manufacturing worm gears for humanoid robot dexterity hands. Background Technology

[0002] The worm gear of the humanoid robot's dexterous hand is a key component of the humanoid robot's dexterous hand transmission system. Its machining accuracy directly affects the dexterous hand's movement flexibility and operational precision. It must meet stringent requirements such as miniaturization, high precision, and high reliability to ensure that the humanoid robot's hand can achieve fine movements similar to those of humans.

[0003] The manufacturing of dexterous hand worm gears is inseparable from the fixation of the fixture. Fixing the worm gear with the fixture can keep it in a stable state during the hobbing process. Stable clamping can ensure the accurate relative position of the hob and the worm gear blank, thereby ensuring the accuracy of key parameters such as worm gear tooth profile and tooth pitch, laying the foundation for subsequent assembly and performance.

[0004] Currently, worm gears are often clamped using a three-jaw chuck during manufacturing. However, the three-jaw chuck only provides radial restraint; additional fixtures are needed to axially restrain the worm gear to ensure stability during machining. While using two sets of fixtures can ensure worm gear stability, the operation is overly cumbersome, increasing clamping time and reducing work efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a fixture for a worm gear manufacturing center for humanoid robot dexterity hands to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a center fixture for manufacturing worm gears in the dexterous hand of humanoid robots, which aims to solve the problem mentioned in the prior art that "worm gear processing requires two sets of fixtures to achieve radial and axial clamping, resulting in an overly cumbersome operation process".

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a center fixture for manufacturing worm gears for dexterous hands of humanoid robots, comprising a base, a positioning platform fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a positioning mechanism provided on the top of the positioning platform;

[0007] The positioning mechanism includes a slide table slidably connected to the inner wall of a positioning platform.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 One embodiment of this utility model is a center fixture for manufacturing worm gears for dexterous hands of humanoid robots, including a base 1, a positioning platform 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, the positioning platform 2 being used to support the worm gear, and a positioning mechanism 3 being provided on the top of the positioning platform 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The positioning mechanism 3 includes a slide 31, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning platform 2. A clamping plate 32 is radially slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning platform 2, which can radially clamp the shaftless disc worm gear 9. A pressure rod 33 is slidably connected through the inner wall of the clamping plate 32. One end of the pressure rod 33 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 34, which can axially limit the shaftless disc worm gear 9. The other end of the pressure rod 33 is hinged to a connecting rod 36. A column 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide 31. The end of the connecting rod 36 away from the pressure rod 33 is hinged to the top of the column 35. When the clamping plate 32 abuts against the inner wall of the shaftless disc worm gear 9, the sliding action of the slide 31 will cause the shaftless disc worm gear 9 to be lifted. The column 35 and the connecting rod 36 can push the pressure rod 33 downward, causing the pressure rod 33 to slide downward on the inner wall of the clamping plate 32. A hydraulic cylinder 37 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning platform 2. A boss 38 is fixedly connected to the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 37. A connecting rod 39 is hinged to the side wall of the boss 38. The end of the connecting rod 39 away from the boss 38 is hinged to the bottom of the slide 31. Activating the hydraulic cylinder 37, in conjunction with the boss 38 and the connecting rod 39, can drive the slide 31 to slide on the inner wall of the positioning platform 2. A spring 310 is fixedly connected between the side of the clamping plate 32 away from the column 35 and the inner wall of the slide 31. The elasticity of the spring 310 can drive the clamping plate 32 to slide and reset on the inner wall of the slide 31.

[0030] Reference Figure 2An inner support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 34. The inner support plate 4 is an arc-shaped plate structure. A silicone pad 5 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the inner support plate 4. The inner support plate 4 can support the inside of the worm gear 8, thereby radially clamping the worm gear 8 from the inside. The silicone pad 5 can increase the friction between the inner support plate 4 and the inner wall of the worm gear 8, thereby improving the clamping effect of the inner support plate 4. The end of the worm gear 8 away from the positioning table 2 can be pressed against by the conical top block on the gear planer to achieve axial limiting of the worm gear 8.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 The clamping plate 32 is an arc-shaped plate structure. The outer arc surface of the clamping plate 32 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip pad 6. The shaftless disc worm gear 9 can be radially clamped through the clamping plate 32. At the same time, the anti-slip pad 6 can improve the clamping effect of the clamping plate 32.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 A rubber pad 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressure plate 34. The rubber pad 7 can increase the friction between the pressure plate 34 and the upper surface of the shaftless disc worm gear 9, thereby improving the clamping effect of the pressure plate 34.

[0033] Working principle: In use, the shaftless disc worm gear 9 is placed on the positioning table 2, and then the hydraulic cylinder 37 is activated to move the boss 38 upward. At this time, the boss 38 pushes the connecting rod 39, which in turn pushes the slide 31. The four slides 31 will slide synchronously on the inner wall of the positioning table 2 and move away from each other. At the same time, under the connecting action of the spring 310, the slides 31 will drive the clamping plate 32 to move synchronously while sliding. When the clamping plate 32 moves, it will cause the anti-slip pad 6 to contact the inner wall of the shaftless disc worm gear 9. When the wall is blocked, the clamping plate 32 will be blocked by the shaftless disc worm gear 9. At this time, the slide table 31 will continue to slide and stretch the spring 310. At the same time, the slide table 31 will drive the column 35 to move synchronously, so that the column 35 pushes the connecting rod 36. At this time, the connecting rod 36 will push the pressure rod 33 downward, so that the pressure rod 33 slides downward on the inner wall of the clamping plate 32. While the pressure rod 33 slides downward, it will drive the pressure plate 34 to slide downward synchronously. When the pressure plate 34 moves downward, it will drive the rubber pad 7 to press against the upper surface of the shaftless disc worm gear 9, which will close the hydraulic cylinder 37.

[0034] When the pressure plate 34 presses the rubber pad 7 against the top of the shaftless disc worm gear 9, the pressure plate 34 can no longer move downwards. At this time, the pressure plate 34 can axially limit the shaftless disc worm gear 9. Since the pressure rod 33 cannot move downwards, the column 35 can no longer push the connecting rod 36, and the connecting rod 36 can no longer push the pressure rod 33. At this time, the slide table 31 will be fixed to the inner wall of the positioning table 2, thus keeping the column 35 in a fixed state. At the same time, one side of the clamping plate 32 drives the anti-slip pad 6 to clamp the inner wall of the shaftless disc worm gear 9, and the other side is restricted by the pressure rod 33 and the connecting rod 36. At this time, the fixed column 35 will support the connecting rod 36, so that the clamping plate 32 cannot slide on the inner wall of the slide table 31 and drive the pressure rod 33 to push the connecting rod 36, thus keeping the clamping plate 32 in a fixed state. At this time, the clamping plate 32 can radially clamp the shaftless disc worm gear 9. Thus, the positioning of the shaftless disc worm gear 9 is completed.

[0035] When it is necessary to release the clamping of the shaftless disc worm gear 9, firstly, the hydraulic cylinder 37 is activated to move the boss 38 downward. At this time, the boss 38 will pull the connecting rod 39 downward, causing the connecting rod 39 to pull the slide 31. At this time, the four sets of slides 31 will slide synchronously on the inner wall of the positioning table 2 and move closer to each other. At the same time, the spring 310 previously stretched by the slide 31 will gradually contract. Under the elastic action of the spring 310, the clamping plate 32 will still maintain the clamping state. At this time, the slide 31 will slide back to its original position during the sliding reset process. The column 35 pulls the connecting rod 36, which in turn pulls the pressure rod 33. At this time, the pressure rod 33 slides upward on the inner wall of the clamping plate 32, thereby causing the pressure plate 34 to disengage from the upper surface of the shaftless disc worm gear 9. Simultaneously, after the spring 310 fully retracts and resets, under the connecting action of the spring 310, the slide table 31 will drive the clamping plate 32 to disengage from the inner wall of the shaftless disc worm gear 9, thereby releasing the clamping plate 32 from the shaftless disc worm gear 9. Thus, the clamping of the shaftless disc worm gear 9 can be released.

[0036] When positioning the worm gear 8 with shaft is required, the worm gear 8 is fitted onto the outside of the four sets of inner support plates 4. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 37 is activated to drive the boss 38 to move upward. At this time, the boss 38 will push the connecting rod 39, causing the connecting rod 39 to push the slide 31. At this time, the four sets of slides 31 will slide synchronously on the inner wall of the positioning table 2 and move away from each other. At the same time, under the connecting action of the spring 310, the slide 31 will drive the clamping plate 32 to move synchronously while sliding. The clamping plate 32 will drive the pressure rod 33 to move synchronously while moving. At this time, the pressure rod 33 will drive the pressure plate 34 to move synchronously while moving. The pressure plate 34 will drive the inner support plate 4 to move synchronously until the inner support plate 4 drives the silicone pad 5 to press against the inner wall of the worm gear 8, and the clamping plate 32 can no longer slide on the inner wall of the slide 31. At this time, the inner support plate 4 can be used to radially clamp the worm gear 8, so that different types of worm gears can be clamped.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
