Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent displacing of a control point of a tool in a robot by absorbing horizontal directional vibration against a surface opposed to a flange of a holding plate by the first vibration absorber, and absorbing vertical directional vibration against a surface opposed to a flange of the holding plate by the second vibration absorber. CONSTITUTION: When vibration is produced by a tool, a holding plate 21 is vibrated in an arbitrary direction, to repeat displacement. When the holding plate 21 is displaced in a vertical direction, an inner side collar 41 of the first vibration absorber 4, stopper 44 and a collar 51 of the second vibration absorber 5 are displaced upward. As a result, a lower side vibration isolating rubber 52 of the second vibration absorber 5 is compressed, to absorb vibration. Reversely in the downward displacement, an upper side vibration isolating rubber 53 is similarly operated, to absorb vibration. Against right/left directional displacement of the holding plate 21, a vibration isolating rubber 42 is compressed to absorb vibration.

However, in the prior art, since the balance is maintained in the state where the vibration absorber is stretched by the self-weight of the tool and the holding plate, the position of the tool changes when the posture of the robot arm changes. In addition, the vibration absorber is deformed under tensile load and shear load in different directions. Further, when the vibration absorber is used for a long period of time under a tensile load, it changes with time in the direction in which the load is applied. As a result, there is a problem that the relative position between the robot arm and the tool fluctuates, the position of the tip portion that is the control point of the tool shifts, and the locus for operating the robot fluctuates. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vibration damping device for a robot that suppresses displacement of a control point of a tool by suppressing a displacement amount of a vibration absorber within a restoration range.

With the above means, the first vibration absorber allows
The horizontal vibration is absorbed by the surface of the holding plate facing the flange, and the second vibration absorber absorbs the vertical vibration of the surface of the holding plate facing the flange. Further, the displacement amount of the holding plate due to the horizontal vibration is limited to the gap amount between the small diameter portion of the stepped portion of the stopper and the mounting hole, and the upward displacement amount of the holding plate due to the vertical vibration is It is limited to the range of the gap between the holding plate and the lower surface of the outer collar, and the downward displacement of the holding plate is limited to the range of the gap between the lower surface of the stepped portion of the stopper and the upper surface of the flange. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the problem that the position of the tip portion, which is the control point of the tool, is displaced and the trajectory for operating the robot is changed. In addition, the length of the collar is the upper anti-vibration rubber, the flange, the lower anti-vibration rubber,
Since the thickness of each holding plate is shorter than the combined length, preload can be applied to the upper and lower anti-vibration rubbers, and the upper and lower anti-vibration rubbers and flanges,
There is no gap between the holding plate and the pressing plate. Further, the magnitude of the preload can be set to an appropriate value by adjusting the length of the collar.

Now, when vibration is generated by the tool 2,
The holding plate 21 vibrates in an arbitrary direction and repeats displacement. When the holding plate 21 is displaced upward, the inner collar 41 and the stopper 44 of the first vibration absorber 4 and the collar 51 of the second vibration absorber 5 are displaced upward. As a result, the lower vibration isolation rubber 52 of the second vibration absorber 5 is compressed and absorbs the vibration. At this time, a shearing force acts on the vibration isolating rubber 42 of the first vibration absorber 4, but since the spring constant in the shearing direction is smaller than the spring constant in the compressing direction, most of the load is on the lower vibration isolating rubber. 52 receives. Further, since the outer collar 43 of the anti-vibration rubber 42 is fixed to the flange 11 and is not displaced, the upward displacement of the holding plate 21 is within the range of the gap amount G between the holding plate 21 and the lower surface of the outer collar 43. Limited to. When the holding plate 21 is displaced downward, the inner collar 41 of the first vibration absorber 4 is moved.

1 is displaced downward. As a result, the second vibration absorber 5
The upper anti-vibration rubber 53 is compressed to absorb the vibration. At this time, like the displacement in the upward direction, a shearing force acts on the vibration isolating rubber 42 of the first vibration absorber 4, but since the spring constant in the shearing direction is smaller than the spring constant in the compressing direction, most of it is The upper vibration isolating rubber 53 receives the load. The downward displacement of the holding plate 21 is determined by the stepped portion 44 of the stopper 44.
It is limited to the range of the gap amount G between the lower surface of a and the upper surface of the flange 11.

When the holding plate 21 is laterally displaced, the inner collar 41 and the stopper 44 of the first vibration absorber 4 and the collar 51 of the second vibration absorber 5 are laterally displaced laterally. As a result, the anti-vibration rubber 42 is compressed and absorbs the vibration. At this time, since the anti-vibration rubber 42 has a cylindrical shape, it is always compressed even if the holding plate 21 is displaced in either the left or right direction parallel to the holding plate 21. Further, since the inner collar 41 fixing the anti-vibration rubber 42 is fixed to the holding plate 21, the anti-vibration rubber 42 does not shift due to the left and right vibrations, and the amount of displacement due to the horizontal vibration is prevented by the stopper 44. Small diameter part of stepped part 44a and mounting hole 1
It is limited within the range of the gap amount G between the two. Also, the second
Although the lower vibration-damping rubber 52 and the upper vibration-damping rubber 53 of the vibration absorber 5 are subjected to shearing force, since the spring constant in the shearing direction is smaller than the spring constant in the compressing direction, most of the load is the first vibration. The vibration-proof rubber 42 of the absorber 4 receives it. Also, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, with respect to vibration in the torsional direction with respect to the central axis of the holding plate 21, the vibration is absorbed by the same action as in the left-right direction, and the vibration is absorbed around the axis parallel to the plane of the holding plate 21 such that the holding plate 21 is bent. About the moment, the vibration is absorbed by the same action as in the vertical direction. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the vibration isolating rubber is used for absorbing the vibration is described, but the same effect can be obtained as long as the vibration such as the spring or the air damper can be absorbed instead of the vibration isolating rubber. . Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where each of the first vibration absorber and the second vibration absorber is provided has been described. However, the first vibration absorber is at least two places, and the second vibration absorber is There should be at least 3 places.

Since there are provided various types of vibration absorbers and the amount of displacement of the holding plate is limited within the range in which the vibration absorbers have resilience, the relative position of the robot arm and the tool does not fluctuate significantly, There is an effect that it is possible to provide a vibration damping device for a robot that can obtain a stable trajectory for operating the robot.
