Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary feedthrough of a robot arm, in particular a fourth axis of a delta robot, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such delta robots are known from EP-B-0 '250' 470, EP-A-1 '129' 829 and EP-A-1 '293 ⁇ 691. These delta robots are suitable for guided and precise movement of objects in three-dimensional space. They have proven themselves in practice and are used, among other things, in the food industry or in machining centers with high purity requirements. However, cleaning the rotary joint of the fourth axis is sometimes complex. This rotary feedthrough was previously designed in such a way that a hollow shaft was mounted in a housing, the shaft having a radial injection opening into its central cavity.
  • US-A-5'775'169 discloses a robot arm which is used for manipulation in a vacuum chamber but is operated from the outside.
  • the robot arm is rotatably mounted in a housing, a seal being arranged in the housing in order to separate the vacuum-side part of the robot arm from the atmospheric part.
  • the rotary feedthrough has a housing and a shaft arranged in an axial passage of the housing and rotatably mounted in this housing for connection to the robot arm.
  • the housing has at least one, preferably two, openings for cleaning the axial passage.
  • the shaft has a diameter at least in a partial area of its length, which is smaller than the diameter of the axial passage in this area, so that a cavity, in particular an annular gap open in at least one direction, is present between the shaft and the axial passage ,
  • the rotating union can be cleaned in a simple manner and without lengthy disassembly using a fluid, for example water or compressed air. Thanks to its design, the rotating union is also less susceptible to contamination.
  • the rotary leadthrough requires relatively few individual parts, so that it can be produced inexpensively and is easy to assemble. Another advantage is that the rotating union can be assembled without auxiliary tools and can also be attached to the robot.
  • the shaft can be made relatively narrow, that the housing is hollow and that these parts can be made from light materials. This optimizes the moment of inertia of the fourth axis or the robot arm. This is also supported by the fact that the mass of the shaft is concentrated around the central axis of rotation and is not arranged at a distance from it as in the prior art.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a delta robot
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective illustration of an invented In accordance with the rotary union, attached to a carrier plate;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a shaft of the rotating union according to Figure 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows a view of the rotary feedthrough with carrier plate according to FIG. 2 from below;
  • FIG. 5 shows a first longitudinal section through the rotary feedthrough with carrier plate according to FIG. 2;
  • Figure 6 shows a second longitudinal section through the rotary union with support plate according to Figure 2 and
  • FIG. 7 shows a third longitudinal section through the rotary feedthrough with carrier plate according to FIG. 2.
  • a delta robot is shown in FIG. Except for the rotating union D described below, it corresponds to the known delta robots and is therefore only briefly explained in the following.
  • the delta robot has a fourth, often telescopic or otherwise variable in length fourth axis 4.
  • This fourth axis 4 is connected to the rotary joint D via a joint 9, in particular a universal joint or a universal joint.
  • a gripping element (not shown) can be fastened to the rotating union D on the side of the rotating union D opposite the fourth axis 4.
  • the type of gripping element depends on the area of application. Examples of this are suction cups or clamping means.
  • the support plate 5 and thus the gripping element can be moved in three-dimensional space by means of the three control arms 3.
  • the fourth axis 4 transmits a torque to the gripping element, so that it can also be specifically rotated about an axis.
  • FIG. 2 shows a rotary leadthrough D according to the invention, which is fastened to the carrier plate 5.
  • the display is on an enlarged scale, the size of the rotary feedthrough being selectable according to the size of the robot and the area of application, without changing the inventive concept.
  • the rotary feedthrough D has a housing 6 with an axial feedthrough 60.
  • the housing 6 has a fastening ring 64, which is received in an opening of the carrier plate 5.
  • the outer diameter of the fastening ring 64 preferably corresponds to the inner diameter of the opening of the carrier plate 5.
  • the housing 6 can be fastened to the carrier plate 5 by means of clips 10.
  • connections by means of screws 11 are also possible, as can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 7.
  • the housing 6 has a fastening flange 63 (FIGS. 5 and 7) which protrudes from the essentially cylindrical base body of the housing 6.
  • Fastening by means of clips 10 has the advantage that the rotating union D can be removed in a simple manner and without auxiliary tools.
  • the base body of the housing 6 can also have a different shape.
  • the shape essentially depends on the area of application.
  • the housing 6 is preferably made of plastic, so that it has a relatively low weight and ensures good sliding behavior of the shaft in the housing.
  • a shaft 7 is rotatably mounted, which is arranged in the axial passage 60 and passes through it.
  • This shaft 7 serves on the one hand for connection to the fourth axis 4 and on the other hand for connection to the gripping element.
  • it protrudes with a slot nut 76 and a connecting pin 74 on the side of the carrier plate 5 from the bushing 60 and also projects above the carrier plate 5.
  • a slot of the universal joint 9 can be pushed over the nut block 76, the Connection pin 74 protrudes into the universal joint 9.
  • This connection is fixed by means of a bolt or pin which is passed through a bore in the universal joint 9 and a bore 75 in the connecting bore which is flush therewith. pin 74 is performed.
  • An anchor-shaped fixing means not shown here, is preferably used, which has a spring-loaded arch element and a pin arranged thereon. The arch element can be placed resiliently over the cylindrical body of the universal joint, the pin penetrating the bores.
  • the shaft 7 is shown in FIG. 3 on its own. It is preferably made of a light material, for example an aluminum alloy. It has an axis 70 which at one end merges into a cylinder head 72 with a connecting pin 74 and at the other end into a star-shaped fastening element 71. As a result, as can best be seen in FIGS. 5 to 7, the shaft 7 has an outer diameter over at least a portion of its length, namely over the length of its axis 70, which is smaller than the inner diameter of the axial bushing 60 the resulting cavity, which is designed as an annular gap R (see FIGS. 5 to 7), the radial bushings 61, 62 mentioned above protrude into it.
  • a light material for example an aluminum alloy. It has an axis 70 which at one end merges into a cylinder head 72 with a connecting pin 74 and at the other end into a star-shaped fastening element 71.
  • the shaft 7 has an outer diameter over at least a portion of its length,
  • the cylinder head 72 of the shaft 7 has a circumferential annular groove 73 below the sliding block 76.
  • the shaft 7 can be rotatably supported axially in the housing 6.
  • the housing 6 has in its fastening ring 64 at least one, here two opposite, circular segment-shaped grooves 65.
  • the cylinder head 72 is inserted into an opening of the fastening ring 64 in the assembled state, wherein it is preferably accommodated therein without play and also its outwardly facing surface is flush with the surface of the fastening ring 64. In this state, the circular segments are aligned Grooves 65 and the annular groove 73 in the same plane with each other.
  • segment disks 66 preferably also made of plastic
  • an intermediate member 8 which is connected to the star body 71 of the shaft 7.
  • the shape of the intermediate link depends on the type of gripping means used. However, it preferably also has an axial through opening 80, so that the annular gap R has a connection to the outside in this direction. This is best seen in Figure 4.
  • the star body 71 has the advantage that it allows sufficient stability and easy attachment, but nevertheless reduces the clear cross section as little as possible.
  • a first of the openings 61 is a suction opening
  • a second opening 62 is a blowing opening.
  • the suction opening 61 preferably has a larger diameter than the blowing opening 62.
  • the two openings 61, 62 are preferably further arranged at an angle of at least approximately 90 ° to one another. They can be arranged at the same height or at different heights.
  • the rotary feedthrough according to the invention finds its preferred area of application as described above when carrying out a fourth axis of a delta robot or a similar robot. However, their use with robot arms of differently designed robots is also possible and part of the inventive idea.
