After the operation is completed, the robotic arm and collection accessories are cleaned, the wear of the parts is checked, and the equipment is adjusted to standby mode.
[0004] In the existing technology, some robotic arm-assisted high-efficiency garbage retrieval devices mostly adopt bolt fastening or welding fixing structures. Disassembly requires the use of special tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers to disassemble the fasteners one by one, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, a robotic arm-assisted high-efficiency garbage retrieval device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] 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.
[0034] Example:
[0035] A robotic arm-assisted high-efficiency garbage retrieval device, as described in the following reference Figures 1 to 3 The device includes a base 1, which provides a stable support foundation for the entire garbage catcher and allows the extension arm 2 to rotate flexibly around the base 1, expanding the horizontal coverage of garbage catching, adapting to the garbage cleaning needs of different locations, and improving the flexibility of catching. The top of the base 1 is rotatably connected to the extension arm 2, which adjusts the catching angle and position and provides support for the front quick-release mechanism 3. The extension arm 2 is equipped with a quick-release mechanism 3 on its outside, and a connector 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the quick-release mechanism 3. The connector 4 can transmit the driving force of the robotic arm to the clamping mechanism 5, and the connector 4 is equipped with a clamping mechanism 5 on its outside.
[0036] The quick-release mechanism 3 includes a quick-release connector 31, which provides a connecting frame for the quick-release mechanism 3 and ensures a tight connection with the quick-release interface 35, ensuring smooth power transmission. The quick-release connector 31 is externally fixedly connected to one end of the extension arm 2. An adjustment component 32 is provided inside the quick-release connector 31. The adjustment component 32 controls the extension and retraction of the positioning post 33 to lock and unlock the quick-release connector 31 and the quick-release interface 35. The operation is simple and the response is fast, which is suitable for quick disassembly and assembly. The positioning post 33 is externally slidably connected to the quick-release connector 31. The positioning post 33 can be inserted into and disengaged from the quick-release interface 35 under the action of the adjustment component 32 to form a rigid locking structure, ensuring that the quick-release mechanism 3 is not easy to loosen after connection and improving the structural stability during the fishing process.
[0037] The adjustment component 32 has an internal rotatable adjustment stop 34, which restricts the movement of the quick-release interface 35 and prevents the quick-release connector 31 and quick-release interface 35 from becoming loose and causing damage to the clamping components. The positioning post 33 has an external slidable connection to the quick-release interface 35, which forms a docking structure with the quick-release connector 31. The inner wall is smooth, which makes the positioning post 33 easy to insert. At the same time, it achieves quick locking through cooperation with the positioning post 33, improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. The adjustment component 32 includes an adjustment knob 321, which serves as the manual operation end of the adjustment component 32. The surface is provided with anti-slip texture for easy gripping and rotation. It drives the triangular support high inclined block 322 to move through the threaded transmission, making operation effortless. The external thread of the adjustment knob 321 is connected to the inside of the quick-release connector 31.
[0038] One end of the adjusting knob 321 is rotatably connected to a triangular support ramp 322. The triangular support ramp 322 can slide along the moving groove 323 under the action of the adjusting knob 321. The ramp pushes the sliding column 325 up and down, converting the rotational motion of the adjusting knob 321 into the linear motion of the sliding column 325, thereby controlling the positioning column 33. The quick-release connector 31 has a moving groove 323 inside, which provides a sliding track for the triangular support ramp 322, restricting its movement to only the horizontal direction and preventing the ramp from deviating and causing power transmission problems. To prevent failure and ensure the smooth operation of the adjustment component 32, the quick-release connector 31 has a sliding groove a324 inside. The sliding groove a324 provides a vertical sliding guide for the sliding column 325, ensuring that the sliding column 325 does not deviate when it rises and falls, and ensuring that the sliding column 325 can drive the positioning column 33 to extend and retract. The quick-release connector 31 has a sliding connection to the sliding column 325 inside. The sliding column 325 can rise under the push of the triangular support high inclined block 322 and fall under the action of the spring spring 327, realizing the rapid adjustment and automatic reset of the adjustment block 34, simplifying the operation process.
[0039] The top of the sliding column 325 is provided with a sliding groove b326, which is adapted to the sliding column 325 and can guide the sliding column 325 to slide smoothly. The top of the sliding column 325 is fixedly connected with a return spring 327, which can provide a downward elastic restoring force for the sliding column 325. When the adjustment knob 321 is loosened, the sliding column 325 is automatically driven to descend, which drives the positioning column 33 to retract, and the adjustment block 34 tilts to unlock, improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly.
[0040] Specifically, by rotating the adjustment knob 321, the triangular support height-increasing block 322 connected to the adjustment knob 321 is pulled out from the moving groove 323. At this time, the sliding column 325 loses its supporting force due to the reduced slope support of the triangular support height-increasing block 322. Moreover, under the elastic force of the return spring 327, the sliding column 325 descends along the sliding groove a324, causing the adjustment stop block 34 to tilt and rotate inward, thereby releasing the connection lock of the quick-release connector 31 and the quick-release interface 35.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The clamping mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 51, which serves as the basic frame of the clamping mechanism 5 and forms the connection node between the entire clamping mechanism 5 and external equipment. An internal mounting position is reserved for fixing the drive assembly 52. The fixed plate 51 is externally fixedly connected to one end of the connector 4. The drive assembly 52 is internally fixedly connected to the fixed plate 51. The drive assembly 52 is the power source of the clamping mechanism 5 and controls the opening and closing of the fixed clamping plate 53 through mechanical transmission. It is the unit that realizes the clamping and releasing actions. The fixed clamping plate 53 is externally fixedly connected to the drive assembly 52. Under the drive of the control rod 524, the fixed clamping plate 53 realizes the clamping and releasing of the fishing net 6 through the relative opening and closing of the pair of clamping plates. It is the direct carrier for completing the clamping function.
[0042] The fixed clamping plate 53 has a positioning groove 54 inside, which matches the positioning protrusion 55 to limit the lateral displacement of the fishing net 6 inside the clamping plate and prevent the fishing net 6 from shifting during clamping. The positioning groove 54 is fixedly connected to the positioning protrusion 55. The positioning protrusion 55 cooperates with the groove, hole or rough surface of the workpiece to form a mechanical limit and prevent the fishing net 6 from slipping due to vibration or tilting in the clamping state. The drive component 52 includes a cylinder 521, which converts air pressure energy into linear mechanical power through air pressure change to provide the original driving force for the connecting ring 522. The cylinder 521 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the fixed plate 51.
[0043] A connecting ring 522 is fixedly connected to the drive end of cylinder 521, receiving the linear power of cylinder 521. Through rotational cooperation with adjusting rod 523, the linear motion is converted into the rotational motion of adjusting rod 523, realizing the conversion of motion mode. Adjusting rod 523 is rotatably connected to the outer two sides of connecting ring 522, receiving the power of connecting ring 522 and rotating around the end point, transmitting the rotational action to control rod 524. At the same time, it can adapt to different clamping requirements through its own structure. Control rod 524 is rotatably connected to the outer side of adjusting rod 523, converting the rotational power of adjusting rod 523 into the action of driving fixed clamp 53 to open and close, completing the transmission of power to the clamping execution end.
[0044] The fixed clamp 53 is internally fixedly connected to a fishing net 6, which is used to wrap and hold the target to prevent it from falling during transfer. The fishing net 6 is externally fixedly connected to the outside of the positioning protrusion 55. The outside of the moving groove 323 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding column 325. One external end of the rebound spring 327 is fixedly connected to the inside of the positioning column 33. The outside of the sliding column 325 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding groove a324. The outside of the triangular support high inclined block 322 is slidably connected to the outside of the moving groove 323. One external end of the control rod 524 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed plate 51. The outside of the drive assembly 52 is externally fixedly connected to the inside of the connector 4.
[0045] Specifically, when the fishing net 6 needs to be disassembled and replaced, the operator can drive the cylinder 521 to lift the connecting ring 522, simultaneously driving the adjusting rod 523 to rise, fall and rotate. The control rod 524 moves outward with the adjusting rod 523. The movement of the control rod 524 causes the fixing plate 53 to loosen and release the clamping fixation of the fishing net 6. When installing the fishing net 6, first align the positioning protrusion 55 on the outside of the fishing net 6 with one side of the fixing plate 53 and insert it. Then, drive the cylinder 521 to drive the fixing plate 53 through the action of the adjusting rod 523 and the control rod 524, so that the positioning protrusion 55 on the outside of the fishing net 6 is engaged in the positioning groove 54 in the fixing plate 53.
[0046] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When the gripping part is damaged during the operation of the robotic arm, the operator can rotate the adjustment knob 321 to pull out the triangular support high inclined block 322 connected to it from the moving groove 323. At this time, the sliding column 325 loses the support of the triangular support high inclined block 322 and descends along the sliding groove under the rebound action of the return spring 327. At this time, the adjustment block 34 loses the support of the sliding column 325 and tilts inward to release the connection between the quick-release connector 31 and the quick-release interface 35, and the gripping part is disassembled.
[0047] When the fishing net 6 needs to be disassembled and replaced, the operator can operate the cylinder 521 to lift the connecting ring 522, which will drive the adjusting rod 523 to rise, fall and rotate. The adjusting rod 523 is rotatably connected to the control rod 524, which moves outward accordingly, causing the fixing clamp 53 to release the fishing net 6. When installing the fishing net 6, the positioning protrusion 55 on the outside of the fishing net 6 can be aligned with one side of the clamp and inserted. Then, the cylinder 521 drives the fixing clamp 53 through the adjusting rod 523 and the control rod 524, so that the positioning protrusion 55 on the outside of the fishing net 6 is fully engaged in the positioning groove 54 in the fixing clamp 53.
[0048] 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.
