Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a quick-release connecting component according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a first quick-release assembly according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a second quick-release assembly according to an embodiment of this application, in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 As shown, this application discloses a four-axis robot device 10, which includes a main support 100, an upper arm component 200, a lower arm component 300, a quick-release connection component 400, and a product fixing component 500.
[0036] The upper arm component 200 and the main support 100 are slidably connected; the lower arm component 300 is rotatably connected to the end of the upper arm component 200 away from the main support 100; one end of the quick-release connecting component 400 is connected to the end of the lower arm component 300 away from the upper arm component 200, and the other end of the quick-release connecting component 400 is connected to the product fixing component 500.
[0037] The quick-release connecting component 400 includes a first quick-release assembly 410 and a second quick-release assembly 430. The end of the first quick-release assembly 410 away from the second quick-release assembly 430 is connected to the end of the forearm component 300 away from the upper arm component 200. The first quick-release assembly 410 and the second quick-release assembly 430 are detachably connected. The end of the second quick-release assembly 430 away from the first quick-release assembly 410 is connected to the product fixing component 500.
[0038] The first quick-release assembly 410 is provided with a female connector 421 and a first air pipe connector 422, and the second quick-release assembly 430 is provided with a male connector 441 and a second air pipe connector 442. When the first quick-release assembly 410 and the second quick-release assembly 430 are connected, the male connector 441 is inserted into the female connector 421, and the first air pipe connector 422 and the second air pipe connector 442 are connected.
[0039] The product fixing component 500 is used to support the product 11, the second air pipe connector 442 is used to connect to the air passage on the product fixing component 500, and the connector male head 441 is used to connect to the air passage on the product fixing component 500.
[0040] After the male connector 441 is inserted into the female connector 421, the circuit on the four-axis robot device 10 can be connected to the circuit on the product fixing component 500. After the first air pipe connector 422 and the second air pipe connector 442 are connected, the air passage on the four-axis robot device 10 can be connected to the air passage on the product fixing component 500, for example, it can be used for product adsorption.
[0041] Compared to existing four-axis robot devices, the four-axis robot device 10 of this application connects the forearm component 300 and the product fixing component 500 by setting a quick-release connecting component 400. The quick-release connecting component 400 includes a first quick-release assembly 410 and a second quick-release assembly 430. The first quick-release assembly 410 is provided with a connector female head 421 and a first air pipe connector 422. The second quick-release assembly 430 is provided with a connector male head 441 and a second air pipe connector 442. When the first quick-release assembly 410 and the second quick-release assembly 430 are connected, the connector male head 441 is inserted into the connector female head 421, and the first air pipe connector 422... 2. The first quick-release assembly 410 and the second quick-release assembly 430 are connected. When it is necessary to replace the product fixing component 500 to fix other types of products 11, the first quick-release assembly 410 and the second quick-release assembly 430 can be disassembled, and then the product fixing component 500 can be replaced. When installing the first quick-release assembly 410 and the second quick-release assembly 430, the male connector 441 is inserted into the female connector 421. The first air pipe connector 422 and the second air pipe connector 442 are connected, so that the circuit and air circuit of the four-axis robot device 10 can be quickly connected to the replaced product fixing component 500, thereby improving the applicability of the four-axis robot device 10.
[0042] Furthermore, the first quick-release assembly 410 includes a wire guide 411 and an air passage 412. The connector female head 421 is located on the side of the wire guide 411 away from the forearm component 300. The air passage 412 passes through the wire guide 411. The first air pipe connector 422 is located on the side of the wire guide 411 close to the forearm component 300, and the first air pipe connector 422 communicates with the air passage 412.
[0043] The second quick-release assembly 430 includes a connecting shaft 431 and an electrical board 433. The electrical board 433 is disposed on the side of the connecting shaft 431 near the wire guide shaft 411. The second air pipe connector 442 is disposed on the electrical board 433. The male connector 441 is disposed on the side of the electrical board 433 near the wire guide shaft 411. The wire guide shaft 411 and the connecting shaft 431 are detachably connected.
[0044] When the guide shaft 411 and the connecting shaft 431 are connected, the first air pipe connector 422, the air passage 412 and the second air pipe connector 442 are connected in sequence, and the male connector 441 is inserted into the female connector 421.
[0045] For example, the guide spool 411 and the connecting shaft 431 can be connected by screws and nuts, and the hollow interior of the guide spool 411 allows the wire connected to the connector female head 421 to pass through the guide spool 411.
[0046] The second air pipe connector 442 passes through the electrical board 433. After the spool 411 and the connecting shaft 431 are connected, the second air pipe connector 442 is aligned with the air passage 412, so that the first air pipe connector 422, the air passage 412 and the second air pipe connector 442 are connected in sequence.
[0047] For ease of connection, the female connector 421 is a magnetic connector 421, and the male connector 441 is a magnetic connector 441. The female connector 421 and the male connector 441 can be magnetically connected. That is, by making the female connector 421 and the male connector 441 magnetic, after the spool 411 and the connecting shaft 431 are mated, the male connector 441 can be quickly inserted into the female connector 421 under the influence of magnetism, thereby improving the efficiency of replacing the product fixing component 500.
[0048] To improve the airtightness of the second air pipe connector 442 and the air passage 412, as well as the connection stability of the connector female head 421 and the connecting male head, this application also provides an elastic element 434 under the electrical board 433, specifically:
[0049] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an elastic element according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the second quick-release assembly 430 also includes an elastic element 434. A groove 432 is provided at one end of the connecting shaft 431 near the wire guide shaft 411. The electrical plate 433 and the elastic element 434 are both disposed in the groove 432. One end of the elastic element 434 abuts against the bottom wall of the groove 432, and the other end of the elastic element 434 abuts against the end of the electrical plate 433 away from the wire guide shaft 411.
[0050] After the guide shaft 411 and the connecting shaft 431 are connected, the elastic element 434 will push the electrical board 433 upward, which will improve the connection stability of the connector female head 421 and the connecting male head, and improve the airtightness of the second air pipe connector 442 and the air passage 412.
[0051] The main support 100 is provided with a slide rail 110 and a slide rod assembly 120. The boom component 200 is slidably connected to the slide rail 110, and the slide rod assembly 120 is connected to the boom component 200. The slide rod assembly 120 is used to drive the boom component 200 to slide on the slide rail 110.
[0052] By setting the slide bar assembly 120 to drive the boom component 200 to slide on the slide rail 110, the product 11 is driven to move up and down.
[0053] Figure 6 This is an internal schematic diagram of a boom component according to an embodiment of this application, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the boom component 200 includes a sliding plate 210, a boom base 220, a boom body 230, a first boom motor 240, and a second boom motor 250. The sliding plate 210 is slidably connected to the slide rail 110, and the slide rod assembly 120 is connected to the sliding plate 210.
[0054] The boom base 220 is connected to the sliding plate 210 on the side opposite to the main support 100. One end of the boom body 230 is connected to the boom base 220, and the other end of the boom body 230 is connected to the forearm component 300. The first boom motor 240 is disposed inside the boom body 230, and the output end of the first boom motor 240 is connected to the boom base 220. The first boom motor 240 is used to drive the boom body 230 to rotate relative to the boom base 220.
[0055] The second boom motor 250 is disposed inside the boom body 230, and the output end of the second boom motor 250 is connected to the forearm component 300. The second boom motor 250 is used to drive the boom body 230 to rotate relative to the forearm component 300.
[0056] By controlling the first boom motor 240, the main boom section 230 can swing approximately relative to the main support 100. Furthermore, by controlling the second boom motor 250, the forearm section 300 can swing approximately relative to the main boom section 230. This achieves control over the movement of product 11 in the planar direction.
[0057] Figure 7 This is an internal schematic diagram of a forearm component according to an embodiment of this application, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the forearm component 300 includes a forearm base 310, a forearm body 320, and a forearm drive motor 330. The forearm base 310 is fixedly connected to the forearm body 320, and the forearm base 310 is rotatably connected to the upper arm body 230. The output end of the second upper arm motor 250 is connected to the forearm base 310, and the second upper arm motor 250 is used to drive the forearm base 310 to rotate relative to the upper arm body 230.
[0058] The forearm drive motor 330 is disposed inside the forearm body 320. The output end of the forearm drive motor 330 is connected to the first quick-release assembly 410. The forearm drive motor 330 is used to drive the first quick-release assembly 410 to rotate relative to the forearm body 320.
[0059] By controlling the operation of the forearm drive motor 330, the quick-release connection component 400 can be rotated, causing the product fixing component 500 to swing left and right relative to the forearm body 320. Through the coordinated operation of the first arm motor 240, the second arm motor 250 and the forearm drive motor 330, the product 11 can be controlled to move precisely on the plane without adjusting the position of the entire four-axis robot device 10.
[0060] This application also includes an electrical slip ring assembly 340, which is disposed within the forearm body 320 and is used to connect the first air pipe connector 422 and the connector female 421.
[0061] In other words, the electrical slip ring assembly 340 connects the first air pipe connector 422 and the connector female 421, so that even if the first air pipe connector 422 and the connector female 421 rotate with the quick-release connection component 400, there will be no problem of wire tangling.
[0062] Furthermore, one end of the main arm 230 is connected to the upper and lower sides of the main arm base 220; the other end of the main arm 230 is connected to the upper and lower sides of the forearm base 310. In simple terms, the main arm 230 provides dual support from both the bottom and top, thereby increasing the longitudinal load capacity of the four-axis robot 10 to meet a maximum load of 50 kg.
