[0064] In order to reduce the moment of inertia of the robot and improve the running speed of the robot, the technical scheme provides a robot, comprising:

[0065] a base 10;

[0066] an arm 20 having opposite first and second ends, the first end being rotationally connected with the base 10;

[0067] a second arm 30 having opposite third and fourth ends, the third end being rotationally connected with the second end of the first arm 20;

[0068] a screw rod 100 movably arranged on the fourth end of the second arm 30;

[0069] a first driving member 200 arranged on the third end of the second arm 30 and drivingly connected with the screw rod 100 to drive the screw rod 100 to rotate about its own axis;

[0070] a second driving member 300 arranged on the second arm 30 and drivingly connected with the screw rod 100 to drive the screw rod 100 to move along its own axis;

[0071] a third driving member 400 arranged on the first arm 20 and drivingly connected with the second arm 30;

[0072] a fourth driving member 500 arranged on the base 10 and drivingly connected with the first arm 20.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the robot comprises a base 10, which is a plate-shaped structural member, serving as the basic support structure of the robot to ensure smooth operation of the whole machine under various ground conditions. In addition, the base 10 is provided with an arm 20 and a fourth driving member 500. The arm 20 is a crossbeam structure, having opposite first and second ends. The first end is rotatably connected to the base 10 by a bearing and can swing in the horizontal plane. The fourth driving member 500, which can be a servo motor or a hydraulic drive system, is connected to the arm 20 to control the rotation angle of the arm 20. The arm 20 is rotatably connected to a second arm 30, which is also a crossbeam structure, having opposite third and fourth ends. The third end is rotatably connected to the second end of the arm 20 by a bearing. The arm 20 is provided with a third driving member 400, which drives the second arm 30 to swing in the horizontal plane through gear or belt transmission, so that the robot can perform two-dimensional operation in the horizontal plane. In addition, a lead screw 100 is movably mounted on the fourth end of the second arm 30. The lead screw 100 can rotate around its own axis and move along its axial direction. An actuator such as a gripper or a tool head can be mounted on the lead screw 100 to process or transfer products. As a core transmission component, the lead screw 100 can rotate around its own axis and move along its axial direction, enhancing the flexibility and functionality of the robot. In addition, the second arm 30 is also provided with a first driving member 200 and a second driving member 300. The second driving member 300 drives the lead screw 100 to move along its own axial direction through gear transmission or belt transmission. The first driving member 200 drives the lead screw 100 to rotate around its own axis through gear transmission or belt transmission. In this embodiment, the first driving member 200 can be arranged at the third end of the second arm 30, so that the first driving member 200 is closer to the rotation axis of the arm 20, and the overall center of gravity of the second arm 30 and all components thereon is closer to the rotation axis of the arm 20, thereby reducing the moment of inertia of the arm 20 when rotating. In addition, the first driving member 200 arranged at the third end is also closer to the rotation axis of the second arm 30, which can also reduce the moment of inertia of the second arm 30, thereby improving the overall operating speed of the robot. Similarly, the second driving member 300 can also be arranged at the third end, which can also reduce the moment of inertia of the arm 20 and the second arm 30 and improve the operating speed of the robot. In addition, in this scheme, the first driving assembly, the second driving assembly and the connection structure between them and the lead screw 100 are arranged on the second arm 30, which can simplify the overall design, reduce the number of parts, and not only reduce the complexity of the design, but also simplify the assembly process, reduce the assembly time and cost, improve the efficiency and reduce the loss in the transmission path, and improve the overall transmission efficiency.

[0078] The fourth transmission assembly is arranged on the base 10, and is in transmission connection with the fourth driving member 500 and the first arm 20.

[0079] For example, the first transmission assembly transmits the power generated by the first driving member 200 to the lead screw 100, so as to realize the accurate rotation of the lead screw 100 around its own axis. This assembly can adopt a transmission structure such as a precision gear set, so as to ensure low loss and high precision in the power transmission process; the second transmission assembly is also arranged on the second arm 30, and works in parallel with the first transmission assembly. This assembly can adopt a linear guide rail or other forms of linear driving technology, so as to ensure that the lead screw 100 can perform fast and stable linear motion in the axial direction; the third transmission assembly is integrated in the structure of the first arm 20, and is responsible for coordinating the power transmission between the third driving member 400 and the second arm 30. The third transmission assembly drives the second arm 30 to swing through modes such as belt transmission, chain transmission or direct driving motor; in addition, the fourth transmission assembly is installed on the base 10, and adopts a large reducer matched with a synchronous belt or a gear and rack mechanism, so as to provide power for the large-amplitude rotation of the first arm 20.

[0115] As shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present application, the bottom of the third end of the second arm 30 is provided with an indicator lamp 90, which is used to display the working state of the robot. The indicator lamp 90 can be electrically connected with the control module such as CPU on the robot to display whether the robot is in a working state or a shutdown state, so as to facilitate personnel to quickly confirm the state of the robot.

[0116] As shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present application, the first arm 20 and the second arm 30 are both hollow, and the robot further comprises:

[0117] a first wire harness seat 1100 arranged on the base 10 to fix the wire harness in the base 10;

[0118] The second cable tie 1200 is arranged in the arm 20 and close to the first end;

[0119] The third cable tie 1300 is arranged on the arm 20 and close to the third driving member 400;

[0120] The fourth cable tie 1400 is arranged in the arm 30 and close to the third end;

[0121] The fifth cable tie 1500 is arranged in the arm 30 and close to the fourth end.

[0122] The first cable tie 1100, the second cable tie 1200, the third cable tie 1300, the fourth cable tie 1400 and the fifth cable tie 1500 are all flat plates, and grooves are arranged on the flat plates to facilitate the winding and fixing of the wire harness. The first cable tie 1100 is arranged inside the base 10 and close to the fourth driving member 500, and is specially used for arranging and fixing all the wire harnesses in the robot base 10. The second cable tie 1200 is arranged in the arm 20 and close to the first end, and is mainly responsible for arranging and fixing the wire harnesses extending from the base 10 to the inside of the arm 20, so as to ensure that these key lines are properly fixed when entering the arm 20, and avoid unnecessary pulling or interference when the arm 20 moves. The third cable tie 1300 is arranged on the arm 20 close to the third driving member 400, and is used for fixing the wire harnesses on the third driving member 400 and guiding the wire harnesses extending to the arm 30. The fourth cable tie 1400 is arranged in the arm 30 and close to the third end where the arm 30 is connected with the arm 20. This cable tie is used for arranging the wire harnesses from the arm 20 to the arm 30, so as to ensure that the power lines and signal lines are smoothly and unobstructively transitioned at the connection between the two arms. The fifth cable tie 1500 is also arranged in the arm 30, but close to the fourth end of the arm 30. It is mainly responsible for arranging the wire harnesses of the end effector or sensor of the arm 30, so as to ensure that these lines can remain stable even when the lead screw 100 moves complexly, and avoid damage and ensure accurate data transmission.
