Detailed Description
The invention is further described in the following by means of specific embodiments,
referring to fig. 1, the robot intelligent end pneumatic torque actuator of the present invention includes a universal connecting rod 1, a cylinder power body 2, a flow controller 3 and an air inlet pipe 31: the universal connecting rod 1 is connected with the cylinder power main body 2 through a main shaft universal joint 11, and the flow controller 3 is connected with the cylinder power main body 2 through an air inlet pipe 31.
As shown in fig. 2, the universal joint rod 1 is composed of a main shaft universal joint 11, a universal joint 12, a sleeve universal joint 13, a sleeve 14, a sleeve spring 15 and a universal joint spring 16. The main shaft universal joint 11 with the cylinder power main part 2 link to each other, and the main shaft universal joint 11 pass through universal joint 12 with sleeve universal joint 13 link to each other, universal joint spring 16 play fixed universal joint 12's the connection and angle of adjustment's effect, through universal joint spring 16, sleeve 14 can adjust certain angle. The main shaft universal joint 11, the universal joint 12 and the sleeve universal joint 13 form a dismantling main shaft, and screws are screwed by driving the sleeve 14. During the process of screwing the screw by the sleeve 14, the main shaft consisting of the sleeve universal joint 13, the universal joint 12 and the main shaft universal joint 11 can perform striking and rotating motions under the driving of the cylinder power main body 2, and the sleeve spring 15 provides buffering and resetting functions when the sleeve universal joint 13 strikes. The sleeve 14 is suitable for use with a range of sizes of screws.
The internal structure of the cylinder power main body 2 is similar to that of a pneumatic wrench, and comprises parts including a cylinder, blades, a blade shaft, an impact frame, a striking block and the like.
Referring to fig. 3, when the invention works, the tail part of the cylinder power body is connected with the tail end of the mechanical arm through a flange 21, and the lower part of the cylinder power body 2 is connected with the flow controller 3 through the air inlet pipe 31. The flow controller 3 is connected with the cylinder power main body 2 through an air inlet pipe 31, and controls the flow of gas input:
when the sleeve 14 does not contact the screw, the required torque is small, the flow controller 3 controls less gas to enter the cylinder power body 2, and the sleeve 14 rotates slowly; when the sleeve 14 twists the screw, the torque is larger, the flow controller 3 controls more gas to enter the cylinder power main body 2, the sleeve 14 rotates rapidly, and the sleeve universal joint 13 provides striking action with a certain frequency; after disassembly is completed, the torque of the sleeve 14 is reduced, and the flow controller 3 reduces the flow rate to return to the original state.
The universal connecting rod 1 is simple in structure, can self-adaptively center and twist target screws in different postures, achieves passive flexible operation of the tail end pneumatic torque actuator, and improves adaptability to the target screws in different postures; the flow controller 3 can accurately provide gas flows with different sizes for the cylinder power main body 2 in different torsion states, so that the size of the torsion moment is changed; on the basis of realizing the function of passive gentle and agreeable operation, have simultaneously and hit the function of beating, to the object that is difficult to disassemble, can dismantle the operation through beating the assistance, improved the suitability of end effector to different operating modes.
Experiments show that on the basis of realizing the pneumatic torque output function, the universal connecting rod is used for centering target screws in different postures in a self-adaptive manner, so that passive compliant operation is realized, the torque output can be adjusted according to the change of the gas flow, and the pneumatic torque output device can also be used for assisting disassembly operation through beating if necessary, so that the pneumatic torque output device is suitable for different working conditions. The automatic disassembling device is simple in structure, good in adaptability and suitable for automatic disassembling tasks under complex working conditions.
The above-mentioned embodiment is only one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, so: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the invention are covered by the protection scope of the invention.
