Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical wrist accessories, specifically relating to an adjustable damping rotary bearing device for the main wrist. Background Technology

[0002] The robotic wrist assembly is an accessory on a gripping device, typically a core component connecting the arm and the end effector. The end of the wrist assembly is often rotatable for easy steering adjustment. The robotic wrist assembly includes a slewing bearing and a handle, which can rotate relative to each other, requiring high reliability from the slewing bearing. Existing patent publication CN220218504U discloses a multi-functional tunnel pipe-gripping robotic arm, including a slewing platform, a main arm, a main arm cylinder, a middle arm, a middle arm cylinder, a forearm, a forearm cylinder, a hammer cylinder, a hydraulic wrist, a lower connecting frame, and a grab bucket. The output end of the main arm cylinder is adapted to drive the main arm to pitch up and down relative to the slewing platform. One end of the middle arm is hinged to the top of the main arm, and a support plate is provided at the bottom. The output end of the middle arm cylinder is hinged to the support plate. The top of the forearm is hinged to the end of the middle arm furthest from the main arm cylinder, and a linkage rocker arm assembly is installed at the bottom of the forearm. The output end of the forearm cylinder is hinged to the forearm. Existing robotic arms have relatively simple rotary mechanisms, often lacking built-in sensors for feedback of rotational data. This necessitates the use of external sensors for data detection, significantly increasing manufacturing costs and compromising the stability of the detection process. Therefore, an adjustable damping rotary bearing device for the main wrist is needed to overcome these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by designing an adjustable damping slewing bearing device for the main wrist. This invention incorporates a sensor within the bearing housing body, which rotates synchronously with the main shaft and can provide feedback on rotational data. The structure is reliable and the detection accuracy is high.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an adjustable damping rotary bearing device for a main wrist, comprising a bearing housing body, within which a rotating spindle is rotatably connected; a sensor is mounted on the rotating spindle, the sensor's shaft being rotatably connected to the bearing housing body; a plum blossom-shaped nut is threadedly connected to the rotating spindle, and a stop damping disc and a wave spring washer are also fitted onto the rotating spindle; the stop damping disc rotates synchronously with the rotating spindle, and the wave spring washer is positioned between the plum blossom-shaped nut and the stop damping disc; a damping elastic element is provided on the outer side of the bearing housing body, the damping elastic element being adjacent to the stop damping disc.

[0005] Preferably, the bearing housing body includes a front cover and a rear cover, and a first fastener is provided between the front cover and the rear cover to fix the two; a bearing body is provided between the bearing housing body and the rotating spindle for connecting the two, and the bearing bodies are arranged in pairs.

[0007] Preferably, the annular protrusion is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the bearing housing body is provided with an annular groove for accommodating the limiting protrusion, wherein the outer contour of the annular groove is adapted to the outer contour of the limiting protrusion.

[0008] The front and rear covers facilitate the installation of the rotating spindle into the bearing housing via the bearing body; the limiting steps facilitate the limiting of the bearing body; and the interplay between the limiting protrusion and the annular groove effectively restricts the rotation angle of the rotating spindle, providing better controllability. The annular protrusion also allows for easy adjustment of its position.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating spindle is provided with a first mounting groove for accommodating the sensor, and a second fastener for fixing the sensor and the rotating spindle is provided between them; the sensor is also provided with a pressure plate for limiting the position, and the sensor is rotatably connected to the bearing housing body.

[0010] Preferably, the sensor is provided with an annular groove, and a pressure plate is provided in the annular groove; the second fastener passes through the pressure plate and extends into the rotating spindle.

[0011] Preferably, a stop block is fixedly installed on the bearing housing body, and a coupling is provided between the stop block and the sensor's rotating shaft; a coupling is sleeved on the sensor's rotating shaft, and the coupling is rotatably connected to the sensor's rotating shaft; a strip-shaped groove is provided at the end of the coupling facing the stop block, and a strip-shaped protrusion is provided on the stop block; the strip-shaped protrusion is disposed in the strip-shaped groove, and the outer contour of the strip-shaped groove and the outer contour of the strip-shaped protrusion are adapted to each other; a set screw is also provided between the coupling and the sensor's rotating shaft, and the set screw passes through the coupling and is fitted against the surface of the sensor's rotating shaft.

[0012] The first mounting slot facilitates sensor installation; an annular groove on the sensor, secured by a pressure plate, ensures stable and reliable installation. A stop block limits the sensor's axial movement; a coupling between the stop block and the sensor allows for rotation of the sensor relative to the stop block; the coupling is fitted onto the sensor's shaft and further limited by a strip-shaped protrusion on the stop block, resulting in better concentricity between the coupling and the sensor. Set screws on the coupling further enhance its positioning, further improving concentricity between the coupling and the sensor; the sensor's rotation with the main shaft is more stable, leading to more accurate data detection.

[0013] Preferably, the bearing housing body has a damping elastic element in the groove, one end of the stop damping disc is attached to the damping elastic element, and the other end of the stop damping disc is attached to the plum blossom nut; the stop damping disc has a second mounting groove, and the second mounting groove has a wave spring pad.

[0015] Preferably, the rotating spindle is provided with a number of mounting holes for connecting the handle; the bearing housing body is also provided with a wrist assembly that is fixedly connected thereto.

[0016] By rotating the plum-shaped nut, the axial distance between the stop damping disc and the bearing housing body can be adjusted, thereby adapting to the degree of elastic deformation of the damping elastic element. Since both the damping elastic element and the stop damping disc have a damping and buffering effect, it is convenient to adjust the relative angle between the rotary spindle and the handle. At the same time, the damping elastic element and the stop damping disc can further maintain the rotational position of the handle relative to the wrist assembly, resulting in better controllability of the rotary spindle's rotation. The wave-shaped spring pad compresses the stop damping disc, ensuring it fits tightly against the damping elastic element. The mounting holes facilitate the assembly of the handle and the rotary spindle.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. By setting a rotating spindle inside the bearing housing body, the rotation of the rotating spindle and the handle is facilitated; a built-in sensor is provided on the rotating spindle to facilitate the detection and feedback of the rotation data of the handle relative to the wrist assembly; 2. By setting a stop damping disc on the rotating spindle, and cooperating with the damping elastic element on the bearing housing body, the rotating spindle has a damping effect when rotating, which can easily adapt to and adjust the rotation angle of the rotating spindle; since the damping elastic element and the stop damping disc have a damping effect, it is easy to maintain the rotation position of the handle relative to the wrist assembly, and the controllability is better. 3. By setting a plum blossom nut, the degree of elastic deformation of the damping elastic element can be easily adjusted, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the difficulty of rotating the rotating spindle, thus meeting different usage scenarios. 4.
