The connecting structure 15 and the extending mechanism 20 can simultaneously achieve the mutual fixing effect by the locking of the engaging structure and the locking of the locking member (not shown, for example, a screw). Of course, the connecting structure 15 is not limited to any form, and any structure that can securely fix the third movable unit 14 and the extending mechanism 20 to each other and can be easily disassembled is the application aspect of the connecting structure 15.

延伸機構20包含有三個延伸活動單元21、21’、21”,其中一個該延伸活動單元定義為一連接組件21;其餘兩個延伸活動單元21’、21”彼此相互連接,且兩個延伸活動單元21’、21”能彼此相對地旋轉或線性移動,其中一個延伸活動單元21’與連接組件21相互連接,而兩個延伸活動單元21’、21”亦可相對於連接組件21旋轉或線性移動。於本實施例圖式中,是以兩個非連接組件21的延伸活動單元21’、21”,分別為能彼此相對旋轉的結構為例,但 不以此為限,在其他的應用中,兩個非連接組件21的延伸活動單元21’、21”彼此間的活動關係及與連接組件21的活動關係,是可依據需求加以變化。 The extension mechanism 20 comprises three extension activities units 21, 21', 21", one of which is defined as a connection assembly 21; the remaining two extension activities units 21', 21" are connected to each other, and two extension activities The units 21', 21" can be rotated or linearly moved relative to each other, wherein one of the extension movable units 21' and the connection assembly 21 are connected to each other, and the two extension movable units 21', 21" can also be rotated or linear with respect to the connection assembly 21. mobile. In the embodiment of the present embodiment, the extended movable units 21', 21" of the two non-connecting members 21 are respectively exemplified as a structure that can rotate relative to each other, but Without being limited thereto, in other applications, the active relationship between the extended active units 21', 21" of the two non-connected components 21 and the active relationship with the connected component 21 can be varied as needed.

The connecting body 211 may be a hollow housing (or partially hollow), and one end of the connecting body 211 has a fixing structure 2111 (shown in FIG. 4), and the fixing structure 2111 is used for detachably connecting The structure 15 is fixed to each other, and the fixing structure 2111 is designed to correspond to the connecting structure 15; for example, the fixing structure 2111 may be a plurality of locking holes formed directly on the connecting body 211, and the connecting component 21 and the first The three movable unit 14 can pass through a plurality of locking members (not shown, for example, screws), a plurality of locking holes (the fixing structure 2111) of the connecting component 21 and the locking holes (the connecting structure 15) of the third movable unit 14 Cooperate and lock each other. In other applications, the fixing structure 2111 may also be a structure formed by projecting outwardly from one end of the connecting body 211, and having a corresponding shape to the connecting structure 15. In practical applications, in order to enable the fixing structure 2111 to be fastened and conveniently fixed with the connecting structure 15, the fixing structure 2111 and the connecting structure 15 may have a plurality of positioning portions (for example, convex and concave structures, guiding columns). Etc.), there is no limit here.

連接組件21的驅動件212(例如馬達)設置於連接本體211,且驅動件212能驅動連動件213(例如是從動輪)旋轉,連動件213的部分可以是外露於連接本體211,而連動件213用以連動一外部構件(可依據需求加以選擇,例如可以是夾具)。換言之,於本實施例 中所述的延伸機構20,即可視為一個三軸的機械手臂,而相關生產廠商或是應用廠商則可依據需求,將所述延伸機構20安裝設置於已具有三個自由度的機械手臂裝置1,從而使該機械手臂裝置1增加三個自由度,而成為具有六個自由度的機械手臂裝置1。 The driving member 212 (for example, a motor) of the connecting component 21 is disposed on the connecting body 211, and the driving component 212 can drive the linking member 213 (for example, the driven wheel) to rotate. The portion of the linking member 213 can be exposed to the connecting body 211, and the linking member 213 is used to interlock an external component (can be selected according to requirements, such as a clamp). In other words, in this embodiment The extension mechanism 20 described above can be regarded as a three-axis robot arm, and the relevant manufacturer or application manufacturer can install the extension mechanism 20 on the robot arm device having three degrees of freedom according to requirements. 1, the robot arm device 1 is increased by three degrees of freedom, and becomes a robot arm device 1 having six degrees of freedom.

在較佳的應用中,第三活動單元14可以是包含有一活動本體141,活動本體141的一端具有連接結構15,且活動本體141具有連接結構15的該端,內凹形成有一容置槽14a;連接組件21的驅動件212可以是外露於連接本體211;當連接組件21與第三活動單元14相互固定時,外露於連接本體211的驅動件212則可對應設置於容置槽14a中,如此可有效地縮減整體機械手臂裝置1的體積。 In a preferred application, the third movable unit 14 may include a movable body 141. One end of the movable body 141 has a connecting structure 15, and the movable body 141 has the end of the connecting structure 15, and a receiving groove 14a is formed in the concave shape. The driving member 212 of the connecting component 21 may be exposed to the connecting body 211; when the connecting component 21 and the third movable unit 14 are fixed to each other, the driving component 212 exposed to the connecting body 211 may be correspondingly disposed in the receiving slot 14a. This effectively reduces the volume of the overall robot arm device 1.

值得一提的是,連接組件21可以是包含有一電連接組件(圖未示,例如電源線、傳輸線等),其電性連接驅動件212及其餘延伸活動單元21’、21”的驅動件(圖未示,例如馬達),而該電連接組件能與第三活動單元14內的相關電連接組件(圖未示,例如電源線、傳輸線等)相連接,從而使延伸機構20能與主機構10相互電性連接。換言之,在具體實施中,第三活動單元14的末端可以是具有能與連接組件21電性連接的相關構件(例如各式電連接線的接頭),而使相關人員僅需將連接組件21的電連接組件21與第三活動單元14末端預留的相關電連接構件相互連接,並將固接結構2111與連接結構15相互固定後,即可快速地將具有三個自由度的主機構10轉換為具有六個自由度的機械手臂裝置1。當然,在其他的應用中,第三活動單元14亦可以是不具有相對應的電連接構件,而延伸機構20的電連接組件可以是透過有線或無線的方式,與主機構10的相關控制機構電性連接。 It is worth mentioning that the connecting component 21 can include an electrical connecting component (not shown, such as a power cord, a transmission line, etc.), which is electrically connected to the driving component 212 and the driving components of the remaining extended movable units 21', 21" ( The figure is not shown, for example, a motor, and the electrical connection assembly can be coupled to an associated electrical connection assembly (not shown, such as a power cord, transmission line, etc.) within the third mobile unit 14 to enable the extension mechanism 20 to be coupled to the primary mechanism. 10 is electrically connected to each other. In other words, in the specific implementation, the end of the third movable unit 14 may be a related member (for example, a connector of various electrical connecting lines) that can be electrically connected to the connecting component 21, so that the relevant personnel only The electrical connection assembly 21 of the connection assembly 21 and the associated electrical connection member reserved at the end of the third movable unit 14 need to be connected to each other, and the fixed structure 2111 and the connection structure 15 are fixed to each other, and then three freely The main mechanism 10 is converted into a robot arm device 1 having six degrees of freedom. Of course, in other applications, the third movable unit 14 may not have a corresponding electrical connection member, and the extension mechanism 20 The electrical connection component can be electrically connected to the associated control mechanism of the main mechanism 10 by way of wire or wireless.

在實際應用中,非連接組件21的兩個延伸活動單元21’、21”可以是透過一轉接組件22,與作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元相連接;亦即,兩個非連接組件21的延伸活動單元21’、21”是可拆 卸地與作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元相互連接。如此,相關生產廠商可依據需求,而選擇性地於作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元,設置其餘的延伸活動單元21’(21”),而使延伸機構20由具有單一個自由度的機械手臂變換為具有兩(三)個自由度的機械手臂,從而使生產廠商能更靈活地依據客戶對於不同自由度的需求,而快速地進行生產組裝。關於兩個非連接組件21的延伸活動單元21’、21”與作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元,彼此間可拆卸地連接的相關結構,於此不加以限制,例如可以是透過數個鎖固件相互鎖固等。當然,非連接組件21的兩個延伸活動單元21’、21”同樣可以是透過前述相關的電連接組件,與作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元電性連接,而透過作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元與主機構10電性連接,或者兩個非連接組件21的延伸活動單元21’、21”可以是獨自地透過有線或是無線的方式,與主機構10電性連接。 In practical applications, the two extended movable units 21', 21" of the non-connecting component 21 may be connected to the extended moving unit as the connecting component 21 through a switching component 22; that is, two non-connecting components 21 Extended activity units 21', 21" are detachable The unloading is interconnected with an extended activity unit as a connection assembly 21. In this way, the relevant manufacturer can selectively set the remaining extended movable unit 21' (21") as the extended moving unit as the connecting component 21 according to the demand, and the extending mechanism 20 is composed of a mechanical arm having a single degree of freedom. Transforming into a robotic arm with two (three) degrees of freedom, allowing the manufacturer to more flexibly perform production assembly according to the customer's need for different degrees of freedom. The extended active unit 21 for the two non-connected components 21 The structure of the ', 21' and the extended moving unit as the connecting component 21 are detachably connected to each other, and are not limited thereto, and may be, for example, interlocked by a plurality of fasteners. Of course, the two extended movable units 21 ′, 21 ′′ of the non-connecting component 21 can also be electrically connected to the extended moving unit as the connecting component 21 through the aforementioned related electrical connecting component, and through the extended activity as the connecting component 21 . The unit is electrically connected to the main mechanism 10, or the extended active units 21', 21" of the two non-connected components 21 can be electrically connected to the main mechanism 10 by way of wired or wireless means.

在較佳的應用中,第一活動單元12設置於固定座11,且第一活動單元12能相對於固定座11以一第一縱向軸線V1為中心進行旋轉。第二活動單元13與第一活動單元12相連接,第二活動單元13能沿一縱向方向F線性移動;舉例來說,第二活動單元13可以是透過線性滑軌機構而可受控制地沿所述縱向方向F線性移動。第三活動單元14與第二活動單元13相連接,且第三活動單元14能以一第二縱向軸線V2為中心進行旋轉。其中,第一縱向軸線V1、縱向方向F及第二縱向軸線V2彼此相互平行。延伸機構20的連接組件21與第三活動單元14相連接;延伸機構20的另一延伸活動單元21’與連接組件21相連接,且該延伸活動單元21’能利用連接組件21所包含的機構,而相對於連接組件21以第一橫向軸線H1為中心旋轉;另一延伸活動單元21”則能利用延伸活動單元21’所包含的機構,而相對於延伸活動單元21’以第二橫向軸線H2為中心旋轉;與延伸活動單元21”末端相連接的外部 構件,則能利用延伸活動單元21”所包含的機構,而相對於延伸活動單元21”以一第三縱向軸線V3為中心進行旋轉。其中,第一橫向軸線H1及第二橫向軸線H2可以是平行於第一縱向軸線V1,第三縱向軸線V3可以是平行於第一縱向軸線V1。 In a preferred application, the first movable unit 12 is disposed on the fixed seat 11, and the first movable unit 12 is rotatable about the first longitudinal axis V1 with respect to the fixed seat 11. The second movable unit 13 is connected to the first movable unit 12, and the second movable unit 13 is linearly movable in a longitudinal direction F; for example, the second movable unit 13 can be controlled along the linear slide mechanism The longitudinal direction F moves linearly. The third movable unit 14 is coupled to the second movable unit 13, and the third movable unit 14 is rotatable about a second longitudinal axis V2. The first longitudinal axis V1, the longitudinal direction F and the second longitudinal axis V2 are parallel to each other. The connection assembly 21 of the extension mechanism 20 is coupled to the third activity unit 14; the other extension activity unit 21' of the extension mechanism 20 is coupled to the connection assembly 21, and the extension activity unit 21' can utilize the mechanism included in the connection assembly 21. Rotating about the first transverse axis H1 with respect to the connecting assembly 21; the other extending movable unit 21" can utilize the mechanism included in the extending movable unit 21', and the second lateral axis with respect to the extending movable unit 21' H2 is centered for rotation; externally connected to the end of the extended movable unit 21" The member can be rotated about a third longitudinal axis V3 with respect to the extension movable unit 21" by the mechanism included in the extension movable unit 21". Wherein, the first lateral axis H1 and the second lateral axis H2 may be parallel to the first longitudinal axis V1, and the third longitudinal axis V3 may be parallel to the first longitudinal axis V1.

透過上述第一活動單元12、第二活動單元13及第三活動單元14彼此間的連接及活動方式,可以有效地降低主機構10在垂直方向的負載扭矩,而使得第三活動單元14及延伸機構20可以採用相對較輕的結構及相對較小的馬力,達到相對較大的負載能力,進而可有效降低整體機械手臂裝置1的製作成本。 Through the connection and the movement manner of the first movable unit 12, the second movable unit 13 and the third movable unit 14 to each other, the load torque of the main mechanism 10 in the vertical direction can be effectively reduced, so that the third movable unit 14 and the extension The mechanism 20 can adopt a relatively light structure and a relatively small horsepower to achieve a relatively large load capacity, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing cost of the overall robot arm device 1.

請一併參閱圖1(習知的六軸機械手臂)及圖2。如圖2所示,本發明的機械手臂裝置1,透過第三活動單元14能相對於第二活動單元13以第二縱向軸線V2為中心旋轉的設置方式,可限制第三活動單元14僅能以Z軸為中心進行旋轉,藉此,可使第三活動單元14末端所承載之重量(垂直向負Z軸方向的力),相對於第二縱向軸線V2所產生的力矩T1,被第二活動單元13與第三活動單元14相連接的結構抵銷,從而,可有效地降低驅動第三活動單元14相對於第二活動單元13活動的驅動件所需的輸出扭力。如此,將可以以輸出扭力相對較低的驅動件來驅動第三活動單元14。 Please refer to Figure 1 (a conventional six-axis robot) and Figure 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the mechanical arm device 1 of the present invention can restrict the third movable unit 14 to only the third movable unit 14 by being rotatable about the second longitudinal axis V2 with respect to the second movable unit 14. Rotating around the Z axis, whereby the weight carried by the end of the third movable unit 14 (the force in the direction perpendicular to the negative Z-axis) and the moment T1 generated by the second longitudinal axis V2 are second. The structure in which the movable unit 13 is connected to the third movable unit 14 is offset, so that the output torque required to drive the driving member of the third movable unit 14 relative to the second movable unit 13 can be effectively reduced. As such, it will be possible to drive the third movable unit 14 with a drive member that outputs a relatively low torque.

一般來說,機械手臂裝置成本最高的構件為驅動件及減速機,而驅動件的價格則大致與輸出扭力成正比,因此,透過上述第二活動單元13與第三活動單元14彼此間的設置方式,將可有效地降低相關驅動件的成本,從而可降低整體機械手臂裝置1的成本。另外,第二活動單元13的驅動件是驅動第三活動單元14以第二縱向軸線V2旋轉,而該力矩T1的方向是以正Y軸為中心逆時針旋轉,因此,該力矩T1的方向與該驅動件的旋轉方向(以Z軸為中心順時針或逆時針旋轉)不同,而不會直接影響該驅動件。 Generally, the member with the highest cost of the robot arm device is a driving member and a speed reducer, and the price of the driving member is roughly proportional to the output torque, and therefore, the second movable unit 13 and the third movable unit 14 are disposed through each other. In this way, the cost of the associated drive member can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the overall robot arm device 1. In addition, the driving member of the second movable unit 13 drives the third movable unit 14 to rotate with the second longitudinal axis V2, and the direction of the torque T1 rotates counterclockwise around the positive Y-axis. Therefore, the direction of the torque T1 is The direction of rotation of the drive member (rotating clockwise or counterclockwise about the Z axis) does not directly affect the drive member.

相似地,由於第二活動單元13是相對於第一活動單元12線性活動,因此,第三活動單元14末端所承載之重量(垂直向負Z 軸方向的力),相對於第一縱向軸線V1所產生的力矩T2,將可透過強化線性滑軌的強度來抵銷,而驅動第二活動單元13相對於第一活動單元12移動的驅動件,則不易受該力矩T2影響。 Similarly, since the second activity unit 13 is linearly movable relative to the first activity unit 12, the weight carried by the end of the third activity unit 14 (vertical to negative Z) The force in the axial direction), the torque T2 generated with respect to the first longitudinal axis V1, is offset by the strength of the reinforced linear slide, and drives the drive of the second movable unit 13 relative to the first movable unit 12 , it is not susceptible to this torque T2.

如圖1所示,反觀習知的六軸機械手臂,其第三活動單元13’是相對於第二活動單元12’以一橫向軸線AX1為中心進行旋轉,而第三活動單元13’所承載的重量,相對於該橫向軸線AX1所產生的力矩T1’,將與驅動第三活動單元13’(以該橫向軸線AX1為中心)旋轉的驅動件所產出的力矩相同或相反方向,如此將造成該驅動件旋轉上的負擔,而將抵銷或增強該驅動件所產生的輸出力矩,為此必需額外進行相關設計,以抵抗該力矩T1’,舉例來說增加馬達的輸出力矩或是增加減速機的設置,無論何種設計皆將大幅增加整體生產的成本(機械手臂成本最高的構件即為減速機及馬達)。相同地,習知的第二活動單元12’是相對於第一活動單元11’以另一橫向軸線AX2為中心進行旋轉,而第三活動單元13’所承載的重量,相對於該橫向軸線AX2所產生的力矩T2’,將與驅動第二活動單元12’相對於第一活動單元11’以該橫向軸線AX2為中心旋轉的驅動件的輸出力矩的方向相同或是相反,從而造成該驅動件的負擔,進而導致成本增加。 As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional six-axis robot arm has a third movable unit 13' rotated about a transverse axis AX1 with respect to the second movable unit 12', and is carried by the third movable unit 13'. The weight, the torque T1' generated with respect to the transverse axis AX1, will be the same or opposite to the torque produced by the drive member that drives the third movable unit 13' (centered on the transverse axis AX1), thus Causing a burden on the rotation of the driving member, and offsetting or enhancing the output torque generated by the driving member, for which additional design must be made to resist the torque T1', for example, increasing the output torque of the motor or increasing The setting of the reducer, regardless of the design, will greatly increase the cost of the overall production (the components with the highest cost of the robot arm are the reducer and the motor). Similarly, the conventional second movable unit 12' is rotated about the other horizontal axis AX2 with respect to the first movable unit 11', and the weight carried by the third movable unit 13' is relative to the lateral axis AX2. The generated torque T2' will be the same or opposite to the direction of the output torque of the driving member that drives the second movable unit 12' to rotate about the lateral axis AX2 with respect to the first movable unit 11', thereby causing the driving member The burden, which in turn leads to increased costs.

是以,本發明的機械手臂裝置1利用第二活動單元13相對於第一活動單元12沿一縱向軸線線性活動,且使第三活動單元14相對於第二活動單元13以另一縱向軸線為中心旋轉,如此,本發明的機械手臂裝置1可以使用輸出扭力相對較低的驅動件,從而可大幅降低整體機械手臂裝置的成本。 Therefore, the robot arm device 1 of the present invention linearly moves along a longitudinal axis with respect to the first movable unit 12 by the second movable unit 13, and causes the third movable unit 14 to be oriented with respect to the second movable unit 13 by another longitudinal axis. The center is rotated. Thus, the robot arm device 1 of the present invention can use a driving member that outputs a relatively low torque, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the overall robot arm device.

〔第二實施例〕 [Second embodiment]

請一併參閱圖4及圖5,有別於前述實施例,在其他的應用中,延伸機構20亦可以是僅包含有單一個延伸活動單元21(即為前述連接組件),而延伸機構20組裝於主機構10後,機械手臂裝置1則可由三個自由度轉換為四個自由度。關於連接組件21、主 機構10的第一活動單元12、第二活動單元13及第三活動單元14的設置方式,皆與前述實施例相同,於此不再贅述。 Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , different from the foregoing embodiment, in other applications, the extension mechanism 20 may also include only a single extension movable unit 21 (ie, the foregoing connection assembly), and the extension mechanism 20 After assembly in the main mechanism 10, the robot arm device 1 can be converted into four degrees of freedom from three degrees of freedom. About the connection component 21, the main The arrangement manners of the first activity unit 12, the second activity unit 13, and the third activity unit 14 of the mechanism 10 are the same as those of the foregoing embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

於較佳的應用中,延伸機構20更包含有一輔助連接件23,其兩端分別具有一輔助連接結構231、231’,而輔助連接件23可以透過輔助連接結構231與連接結構15相連接,且輔助連接件23可以透過輔助連接結構231’與連接組件21相連接。其中,輔助連接件23的兩端不位於同一平面,藉此,連接組件21透過輔助連接件23與第三活動單元14相連接後,可以對應改變連接組件21相關構件的活動方向。具體來說,如圖2所示,作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元21直接與第三活動單元14相互固定後,連接組件21將會以橫向軸線(圖2所標示的H1)為中心進行旋轉;相對地,如圖5所示,相同的連接組件21透過輔助連接件23與第三活動單元14相連接後,連接組件21則轉變為以一縱向軸線V4為中心旋轉。在較佳的應用中,輔助連接結構231’與連接結構15為相同的結構,而連接組件21可選擇性地與輔助連接結構231’或是連接結構15相連接,如此,相關廠商依據不同的需求,可以方便且快速地進行連接組件21與連接結構15或是輔助連接結構231’的連接。 In a preferred application, the extension mechanism 20 further includes an auxiliary connecting member 23 having an auxiliary connecting structure 231, 231' at each end, and the auxiliary connecting member 23 can be connected to the connecting structure 15 through the auxiliary connecting structure 231. And the auxiliary connecting member 23 can be connected to the connecting component 21 through the auxiliary connecting structure 231'. The two ends of the auxiliary connecting member 23 are not located in the same plane. Therefore, after the connecting component 21 is connected to the third movable unit 14 through the auxiliary connecting member 23, the moving direction of the related component of the connecting component 21 can be changed correspondingly. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, after the extension movable unit 21 as the connection assembly 21 is directly fixed to the third movable unit 14, the connection assembly 21 will rotate around the lateral axis (H1 indicated in FIG. 2). In contrast, as shown in FIG. 5, after the same connecting member 21 is connected to the third movable unit 14 through the auxiliary connecting member 23, the connecting member 21 is switched to rotate about a longitudinal axis V4. In a preferred application, the auxiliary connecting structure 231' and the connecting structure 15 have the same structure, and the connecting component 21 can be selectively connected to the auxiliary connecting structure 231' or the connecting structure 15, so that the relevant manufacturers are different according to the The connection of the connection component 21 to the connection structure 15 or the auxiliary connection structure 231' can be conveniently and quickly performed.

較佳地,連接組件21的連動件213是以縱向軸線V4為中心進行旋轉,其中該縱向軸線V4可以是平行第一縱向軸線V1及第二縱向軸線V2(如圖2所示);藉此,配合前述實施例所載的第一活動單元12、第二活動單元13及第三活動單元14彼此間的連接及活動方式,可以有效地降低主機構10在垂直方向的負載扭矩,而使得第三活動單元14及延伸機構20可以採用相對較輕的結構及相對較小的馬力,達到相對較大的負載能力,進而可有效降低整體機械手臂裝置1的製作成本。 Preferably, the linking member 213 of the connecting assembly 21 is rotated about the longitudinal axis V4, wherein the longitudinal axis V4 may be parallel to the first longitudinal axis V1 and the second longitudinal axis V2 (as shown in FIG. 2); With the connection and the movement manner of the first movable unit 12, the second movable unit 13, and the third movable unit 14 in the foregoing embodiments, the load torque of the main mechanism 10 in the vertical direction can be effectively reduced, so that the first The three movable unit 14 and the extension mechanism 20 can adopt a relatively light structure and a relatively small horsepower to achieve a relatively large load capacity, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing cost of the overall robot arm device 1.

請一併參閱圖2及圖4,延伸機構20是可拆卸地與主機構10相互連接,藉此,相關應用廠商或是生產廠商可以是依據不同的 需求,透過更換具有不同個數的延伸活動單元21、21’、21”的延伸機構20,而對應改變機械手臂裝置1的自由度。也就是說,相關使用者可以是將圖2(圖4)所示的機械手臂裝置1的延伸機構20由主機構10上拆卸下來,而更換上圖4(圖2)所示的具有單一個(三個)延伸活動單元21(21、21’、21”)的延伸機構20,從而將圖2(圖4)所示的具有六個(四個)自由度的機械手臂裝置1,轉換為具有四個(六個)自由度的機械手臂裝置1。亦即,對於應用廠商而言,可以是將現有的四(六)軸機械手臂裝置,透過延伸機構20的拆裝,而轉換為六(四)軸的機械手臂裝置。另外,對於生產廠商而言,無論是四軸機械手臂裝置或是六軸裝置,其皆是共用相同的主機構10,因此,在整體生產作業中,可更有效地進行相關管控,從而可有效地降低生產成本。簡而言之,相關生產廠商可以是依據需求,將具有三個自由度的主機構10,透過組裝具有N個延伸活動單元的延伸機構20,而對應使機械手臂裝置1整體具有N+3的自由度(N為正整數)。 Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 together, the extension mechanism 20 is detachably connected to the main mechanism 10, whereby the relevant application manufacturer or manufacturer can be different according to the The requirement is to change the degree of freedom of the robot arm device 1 by replacing the extension mechanism 20 having a different number of extended movable units 21, 21', 21". That is, the relevant user may be FIG. 2 (FIG. 4) The extension mechanism 20 of the illustrated robot arm device 1 is detached from the main mechanism 10, and has a single (three) extension movable unit 21 (21, 21', 21 as shown in Fig. 4 (Fig. 2). The extension mechanism 20, thereby converting the robot arm device 1 having six (four) degrees of freedom shown in Fig. 2 (Fig. 4) into a robot arm device 1 having four (six) degrees of freedom. That is, for the application manufacturer, the existing four (six) axis robot arm device can be converted into a six (four) axis robot arm device through the disassembly and assembly of the extension mechanism 20. In addition, for the manufacturer, whether it is a four-axis robot arm device or a six-axis device, the same main mechanism 10 is shared, so that the overall control can be more effectively performed in the overall production operation, thereby being effective Reduce production costs. In short, the relevant manufacturer may, according to the demand, the main mechanism 10 having three degrees of freedom, by assembling the extension mechanism 20 having N extended moving units, corresponding to the robot arm device 1 having N+3 as a whole. Degree of freedom (N is a positive integer).

更甚者,延伸機構20配合可拆卸地兩個非連接組件21的延伸活動單元21’、21”的設計,相關生產廠商可以更有彈性地依據客戶,對於不同的自由度的需求,而快速地進行相關生產。也就是說,延伸機構20中非作為連接組件21的延伸活動單元21’、21”,亦可以是可拆卸地與連接組件21相連接,而如此延伸機構20亦可依據需求快速地進行延伸機構20的延伸活動單元的數量改變。也就是說,透過改變連接組件21所連接的延伸活動單元的個數,亦可使具有三個自由度的機械手臂裝置1,轉換為具有五個或七個自由度的機械手臂裝置1。 Moreover, the extension mechanism 20 cooperates with the design of the extension movable units 21', 21" of the detachable two non-connecting components 21, and the relevant manufacturers can more flexibly according to the customer, and the requirements for different degrees of freedom are fast. Related production is performed. That is to say, the extension movable unit 21', 21" which is not the connection component 21 in the extension mechanism 20 may be detachably connected to the connection component 21, and the extension mechanism 20 may also be required according to requirements. The number of extended activity units of the extension mechanism 20 is rapidly changed. That is to say, by changing the number of extended moving units to which the connecting unit 21 is connected, the robot arm device 1 having three degrees of freedom can be converted into the robot arm device 1 having five or seven degrees of freedom.

以上所述僅為本發明的較佳可行實施例,非因此侷限本發明的專利範圍,故舉凡運用本發明說明書及圖式內容所做的等效技術變化,均包含於本發明的保護範圍內。 The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
