Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic arm technology, and more specifically, to a joint protection structure for a robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] Robotic arms are the most widely used automated mechanical devices in the field of robotics, found in industrial manufacturing, medical treatment, entertainment services, military, semiconductor manufacturing, and space exploration. Although they vary in form, they all share a common characteristic: they can receive commands and precisely position themselves at a point in three-dimensional or two-dimensional space to perform tasks.

[0003] In some existing robotic arms, the joints connecting the arms are exposed during operation, allowing dust to easily enter the joints, especially in harsh environments. Over time, this can affect the robotic arm's operational accuracy and may even prevent it from functioning properly. To address this, we propose a robotic arm joint protection structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a protective structure for a robotic arm joint, adopting the following technical solution: A protective structure for a robotic arm joint includes a robotic arm body. Each side wall of the robotic arm body is fitted with a collar, and an assembly ring is provided on the opposite side of each collar. A rubber protective sleeve is fixedly connected between two assembly rings. The collars and assembly rings are all fixed to the robotic arm body by bolts. A positioning component is provided between the assembly rings and collars on the same side.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the product, the operator places the rubber protective sleeve between two collars and fixes the same-side assembly ring and collar with the positioning component, which can fix the rubber protective sleeve. The positioning component makes it easy to replace the rubber protective sleeve when it is damaged. The rubber protective sleeve and assembly ring are fixed by heat fusion and further secured by existing fasteners, which helps to maintain the stability of the rubber protective sleeve installation. Afterwards, only the damaged rubber protective sleeve needs to be replaced, reducing material waste. After the rubber protective sleeve is assembled, the operator puts the collar and assembly ring on the side wall of the robot arm body, so that the rubber protective sleeve is located at the joint of the robot arm body. The collar and assembly ring are fixed to the robot arm body with bolts. The rubber protective sleeve can protect the joint of the robot arm body and help prevent dust and other factors from affecting the subsequent operation of the robot arm body.

[0006] Furthermore, the positioning component includes multiple inserts fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two assembly rings. The opposite side of the two collars has a slot that matches the insert on the same side. Movable grooves are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the slot. Limiting components are provided between the insert and the slot on the same side.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after the worker places the assembly ring between the two collars, the insert block installed on one side of the assembly ring engages with the slot opened on the side wall of the collar on the same side, which serves to position the collar and the assembly ring. In addition, the slot is equipped with a limiting component, which restricts the positioning insert block, which helps to maintain the stability of the collar and the assembly ring and facilitates subsequent fixing.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting rod that is slidably installed in the movable groove, a spring that is fixedly installed between the limiting rod and the inner wall of the movable groove on the opposite side, and a limiting groove that matches the limiting rod on the same side is opened on the side wall of the insert block.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the insert block moves into the slot on the same side, the insert block pushes the limiting rod on the same side to slide into the movable groove on the same side. When the insert block and the slot are engaged, the limiting rod moves outward of the movable groove under the push of the spring on the same side, and engages with the limiting groove opened on the side wall of the insert block on the same side, so as to achieve the function of positioning the insert block.

[0010] Furthermore, the sidewall of the rubber protective sleeve is provided with multiple reinforcing rods arranged in a ring array.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sidewall of the rubber protective sleeve is reinforced with a reinforcing rod. The reinforcing rod is made of a tough material, which is available in the prior art. This helps to increase the toughness of the rubber protective sleeve and maintain its performance.

[0012] Furthermore, the sidewall of the rubber protective sleeve has multiple sets of heat dissipation holes arranged in a linear array. The heat dissipation holes in the same set are arranged in a ring array on the sidewall of the rubber protective sleeve, and each heat dissipation hole is provided with filter cloth.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the side wall of the rubber protective sleeve is provided with heat dissipation holes to facilitate heat dissipation and achieve the effect of heat dissipation. In addition, filter cloths are provided in the heat dissipation holes to filter dust, so that the rubber protective sleeve has the effect of dust prevention and heat dissipation.

[0014] Furthermore, sealing gaskets are fixedly installed on the inner sides of both the collar and the assembly ring.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, sealing gaskets are provided on the inner walls of both the collar and the assembly ring. The sealing gaskets contact the side wall of the robotic arm body, which helps to reduce the wear between the collar, the assembly ring and the robotic arm body, and also helps to increase the sealing performance of the collar, the assembly ring and the robotic arm body, thereby protecting the robotic arm body and increasing the stability of the rubber protective sleeve installation.

[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: (1) In this utility model, the joints of the robotic arm body are protected by rubber protective sleeves, which can protect the joints of the robotic arm body and achieve dust prevention. The side wall of the rubber protective sleeve is provided with reinforcing rods, which are made of tough materials in the prior art. This helps to increase the toughness of the rubber protective sleeve, reduce the damage caused by bending, and maintain the bending effect of the rubber protective sleeve.

[0017] (2) In this utility model, the positioning component and the limiting component are set between the same side collar and the assembly ring to play a positioning role, which helps to maintain the accuracy of the fit between the collar and the assembly ring and facilitates subsequent fixing.

Each side of the collar 2 is provided with an assembly ring 3. A rubber protective sleeve 4 is fixedly connected between the two assembly rings 3. The collar 2 and the assembly ring 3 are all fixed to the robotic arm body 1 by bolts.

[0025] Positioning components are provided between the same-side assembly ring 3 and collar 2. The positioning components include multiple insert blocks 7 fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two assembly rings 3. The opposite side of the two collars 2 is provided with slots 6 that match the insert blocks 7 on the same side. Movable grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the slot 6. Limiting components are provided between the insert block 7 and the same-side slot 6. The limiting components include a limiting rod 10 that is slidably installed in the movable groove 8.

The side wall of the insert block 7 is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting rod 10 on the same side.

[0026] When using the product, the worker places the rubber protective sleeve 4 between the two collars 2. The worker assembles the ring 3, and the insert 7 installed on one side engages with the slot 6 opened on the side wall of the collar 2 on the same side, which serves to position the collar 2 and the assembly ring 3. When the insert 7 moves into the slot 6 on the same side, the insert 7 pushes the limit rod 10 on the same side to slide into the movable groove 8 on the same side. After the insert 7 and the slot 6 are engaged, the limit rod 10 moves outward of the movable groove 8 under the push of the spring 9 on the same side, and the limit rod 10 engages with the slot 6 opened on the side wall of the insert 7 on the same side. The limiting groove engages, achieving the function of positioning insert 7, which helps maintain the stability of the fit between collar 2 and assembly ring 3, facilitating subsequent fixing. After the rubber protective sleeve 4 is assembled, the worker puts collar 2 and assembly ring 3 on the side wall of the robotic arm body 1, so that the rubber protective sleeve 4 is located at the joint of the robotic arm body 1. Both collar 2 and assembly ring 3 are fixed to the robotic arm body 1 by bolts.

[0028] The side wall of the rubber protective sleeve 4 has multiple sets of heat dissipation holes arranged in a straight line array. The heat dissipation holes in the same set are arranged in a ring array on the side wall of the rubber protective sleeve 4. Each heat dissipation hole is equipped with a filter cloth. The heat dissipation holes on the side wall of the rubber protective sleeve 4 facilitate the conduction of heat and achieve the heat dissipation effect. In addition, the filter cloth in each heat dissipation hole is equipped with a filter cloth to filter dust, so that the rubber protective sleeve 4 has a dustproof effect and a heat dissipation function.

[0029] Sealing gaskets are fixedly installed on the inner sides of both collar 2 and assembly ring 3. Sealing gaskets are provided on the inner walls of collar 2 and assembly ring 3. The sealing gaskets are in contact with the side wall of the robotic arm body 1, which helps to reduce the wear between collar 2, assembly ring 3 and robotic arm body 1, and also helps to increase the sealing performance of collar 2, assembly ring 3 and robotic arm body 1, thereby protecting the robotic arm body 1 and increasing the stability of the rubber protective sleeve 4 installation.

[0030] The implementation principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: When using the product, the operator places the rubber protective sleeve 4 between two collars 2, and fixes the same-side assembly ring 3 and collar 2 through the positioning component, which can fix the rubber protective sleeve 4. The positioning component makes it easy to replace the rubber protective sleeve 4 when it is damaged. The rubber protective sleeve 4 and the assembly ring 3 are fixed by heat fusion and further fixed by existing fasteners, which helps to maintain the stability of the installation of the rubber protective sleeve 4. Afterwards, only the damaged rubber protective sleeve 4 needs to be replaced, which reduces material waste. After the rubber protective sleeve 4 is assembled, the operator puts the collar 2 and the assembly ring 3 on the side wall of the robotic arm body 1, so that the rubber protective sleeve 4 is located at the joint of the robotic arm body 1. The collar 2 and the assembly ring 3 are fixed to the robotic arm body 1 by bolts. The rubber protective sleeve 4 can protect the joint of the robotic arm body 1 and help to avoid dust and other factors from affecting the subsequent operation of the robotic arm body 1.
