the robot (10) is further provided with rectified connecting arms with:
a position change device (15) which changes the position of an element (19) attached to the movable part (12),
an additional actuator (13d to 13f), which between the two adjustable links ...
The present invention relates to a rectified linker robot using a delta-type rectified linkage mechanism for three-dimensionally positioning a fastener equipped with a gripper (robotic actuator).
11 is a perspective view of a robot with rectified connecting arms 100 according to the state of the art, the old before a base 110 , a movable plate 120 and three connecting arms 200a to 200c that includes the base 110 with the movable plate 120 connect. It should be noted that the movable plate 120 with a fastening part 190 is provided for a not shown gripping member.
How to get out 11 can detect, includes a connecting arm 200a an adjustment link 210a that is different from the base 110 extends away, and two adjustable links 220a and 230a extending from the movable plate 120 extend away. These are each connected to each other via self-aligning ball bearings. Furthermore, the base includes 110 an actuator 130a for adjusting the adjusting link 210a , It should be noted that the other connecting arms 200b . 200c are configured in the same way. By separate control of the actuators 130a to 130c these connecting arms 200a to 200c is it possible the moving plate 120 in three degrees of freedom (first axis to third axis) to move and move them to a desired position.
In recent years, has a robot with rectified connecting arms, as in 12 is shown, widely used, which provides an additional degree of freedom compared to in 11 having illustrated embodiment. The robot with rectified connecting arms, as in 12 is also shown in the Japanese Publication (Kokoku) No. 4-45310 an Examined Patent and the International Publication of Translated Version No. JP 2002-532269 A disclosed. It should be noted that in 12 and the later explained 11 the actuators 130a to 130c have been omitted for the sake of simplicity.
In 12 is based 110 an additional actuator 130d intended for a fourth axis. Further connects an additional link 200d the actuator 130d and the movable plate 120 together. As in 12 illustrated, includes the additional link 200d a drive shaft 250 , which is coupled via a universal joint. The base 110 and the movable plate 120 change their relative positions to each other, which is why the drive shaft 250 is designed extendable. Therefore, even if the base 110 and the movable plate 120 their relative positions change strongly to each other, the extra link 200d follow this change. Thus, the fastening part can 190 around the fourth axis in the direction of the arrow 12 rotate.
13 FIG. 12 is a schematic view of a prior art rectified linker robot having the number of degrees of freedom of FIGS 11 illustrated embodiment also increased by a further degree of freedom and in the US Pat. No. 4,976,582 A is disclosed. In 13 is the additional actuator 130d directly on the moving plate 120 arranged. For this reason, that can be done with the moving plate 120 connected fastening part 190 slightly rotated in the direction of the arrow around the fourth axis.
At the in 12 However, shown embodiment, there are limits to the way to the drive shaft 250 can be extended. How to get out 12 detects, includes the drive shaft 250 a cylinder and a rod. Usually, the shortest length of the drive shaft 250 the longer length of the cylinder or rod, while the longest length of the drive shaft 250 resulting from the total length of the length of the cylinder and the length of the rod. Consequently, the possible working area or working space of the movable plate to the longest and the shortest length of the drive shaft 250 limited.
14 FIG. 10 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a prior art rectified linker robot. FIG. As in 14 shown, is the rod of the drive shaft 250 to an additional link 200d via a universal joint 251 connected. The universal joint 251 but interferes with other parts when the in 14 shown pivoting angle α is larger (see the area in 14 indicated by a dash-dotted line). It follows that the possible working range of the movable plate 120 also by the tilt angle of the universal joint 251 is limited.
Furthermore, at the in 13 illustrated embodiment of the actuator 130d comparatively heavy, so that the movable plate 120 in terms of acceleration and deceleration performance is severely restricted. For example, when the gripping member of the robot with rectified link arms performs a simple reciprocating motion, the limited acceleration and deceleration performance results in a decrease in the number of reciprocations per unit time and thus in work performance.
Furthermore, in the case of use in an environment in which the movable plate is exposed to an acid or other corrosive solution, the actuator 130d be sprayed with corrosive solution. In such a case, the actuator can 130d fail and it can the degrees of freedom of the attachment part 190 to be diminished. For this reason, at least the actuator 130d and its wiring are suitably protected by a protective cover, not shown, etc.
In the case of the embodiments that are in 12 and 13 are shown, is due to the dimensions of the drive shaft 250 or for attaching the actuator 130d required space increasing the degrees of freedom by one degree of freedom the limit. This type of rectified link robot is currently available on the market.
The 15A and 15B 3 are perspective views of robots with rectified connecting arms, in which the degrees of freedom of the in 11 shown robot with rectified connecting arms are increased by a further two or three degrees of freedom. In 15A is the fixing part 190 for the gripping member via an intermediate part 160 rotatable on the movable plate 120 stored. Furthermore, according to 15B the fastening part 190 over two intermediate parts 160 . 170 on the moving plate 120 rotatably mounted.
Adding such intermediate parts 160 . 170 means with the robot 13 however, that in the arrangement of the additional actuator 130d on the moving plate 120 due to its weight, the acceleration and deceleration performance of the movable plate 120 is further restricted. Further, as in 12 shown, when using an extendable drive shaft, an additional extendable drive shaft to increase the degrees of freedom required. Due to the physical dimensions of the intermediate parts 160 . 170 This leads to a further restriction of the possible working range of the movable plate 120 , For this reason, the extension of the in 11 shown robot with rectified connecting arms by two or three other degrees of freedom theoretically possible, the practical realization is difficult.
16A FIG. 12 is a perspective view of another robot with prior art rectified link arms while FIG 16B a part of a cross-sectional view of the in 16A shown robot with rectified connecting arms. In the 16A and 16B is the additional actuator 130d on the moving plate 120 intended. Furthermore, the fastening part 190 as an active organ a suction pad or a suction cell 780 appropriate.
As in the 16A and 16B shown, is a suction hose 790 for generating a suction force through the suction pad 780 via a rotation receiving unit 800 with the absorbent pad 780 coupled. The rotation recording unit 800 can freely rotate and thereby assumes the function of preventing the suction hose 790 is wrapped around other parts when the additional actuator 130d etc. is used.
The rotation recording unit 800 is between the absorbent pad 780 and the fastening part 190 provided so that a greater distance between the fastening part 190 and the absorbent pad 780 must be provided. For this reason, the problem arose in the prior art that when the suction pad 780 larger dimensions, it was always easier the workpiece W in the way. Further, when a gripping member is used, on which no rotation receiving unit 800 can be attached, or if an electrical cable for the gripping member is required, has when driving the additional actuator 130d etc. also the problem that the piping with respect to the gripping member, z. As the air hoses, or the wiring, z. As the electrical cables can be wound around other parts.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same parts. For ease of understanding, the scale of the drawings has been suitably changed.
1 FIG. 12 illustrates a perspective view of a rectified linker robot of a typical embodiment based on the present invention. The rectified linker robot. FIG 10 to 1 essentially comprises a base 11 in a housing 18 , a movable plate 12 and three connecting arms 20a to 20c that the base 11 and the movable plate 12 connect with each other. At the bottom of the movable plate 12 is a fixing part 19 intended. An unillustrated gripping member or robot actuator (effector) is on the mounting part 19 appropriate.
2 is a partial perspective view of a robot with rectified connecting arms, which in 1 is shown. As in 2 illustrated, includes the connecting arm 20b an adjustment link 21b and two adjustable links 22b and 23b extending from the movable plate 12 extend away. These are by self-aligning ball bearings 42b and 43b connected with each other. Furthermore, the front ends of the adjustable links 22b and 23b with self-aligning ball bearings 44b and 45b with the movable plate 12 connected. These self-aligning ball bearings 42b to 45b are arranged so that the rectangular shape, which is defined by these spherical bearings as the vertices, forms a parallelogram. In 1 is the adjustment link 21b extending away from the base, with the actuator 13b connected to the adjusting link 21b adjusted or drives. This actuator 13b is based 11 arranged.
The other two connecting arms 20a and 20c are as well as the connecting arm 20b trained, so that a detailed description is omitted. Furthermore, it can be seen from the figure that the robot with rectified connecting arms 10 according to the present invention is of the delta type. By individual control of the actuators 13a to 13c the connecting arms 20a to 20c It is possible to adjust the position or position of the movable plate 12 connected fastening part 19 to be positioned in the desired positions relative to the first to third axes by three degrees of freedom.
With reference to 2 you realize that an additional link 31 via bearings with the two adjustable connecting links 22b . 23b connected is. Furthermore, with the shaft 32 extending from the middle part of the additional link 31 extends through the bearing, an additional actuator 13d connected. As shown, is the output shaft of the additional actuator 13d the movable plate 12 facing.
As in 2 as can be seen, the drive transmission shaft extends 39 extending from the output shaft of the additional actuator 13d extends away, between the two adjustable links 22b and 23b parallel to these adjustable links 22b and 23b , Further, the drive transmission shaft 39 with a wave 14 connected, different from the device 15 extends to the position change, via a universal joint (universal joint) 38 connected. Note that the universal joint 38 arranged on a line segment, which is the two self-aligning ball bearings 44b and 45b combines.
The device 15 the change in position leads to the function of changing the position or the position of the fastening part 19 from, and can thereby change the position or position of the gripping member. Note that the device 15 to the position change partially in the movable plate 12 is housed. Alternatively, the entire device for position change between the movable plate 12 and the fastening part 19 be arranged.
It should also be noted that, like this 2 can be removed, the additional link 31 and the additional actuator 13d preferably near or next to the adjustment link 21b are provided. In this case, the additional actuator 13d further away from the moving plate 12 positioned. Therefore, even in an environment where corrosive solutions can splash on the movable platen, there is a need to protect the additional actuator 13d further diminished.
3 is an enlarged view of an additional link of a particular embodiment. In 3 are two additional links 31 with bars 33a and 33b coupled, extending through the adjustable links 22b . 23b rotatably extend. Furthermore, the additional actuator 13d with a protruding part 13d provided that protrudes from its end. Further, in the middle of the additional link 31 a pole 33c through an opening of the protruding part 13d ' and the two additional links 31 , Due to such training, the above part 13d ' around the pole 33c swing.
4a and 4b Fig. 2 are schematic views for explaining the operation of the adjustable links during movement of the movable plate. 4a shows the time during which the operation is resting while 4b represents the operating time. As can be seen from the drawings, stand the two adjustable links 22b and 23b parallel to each other, even if the plate 12 emotional. Further, the drive transmission shaft keeps 39 of the additional actuator 13d a parallel position relative to the two adjustable links 22b . 23b at. That means the two adjustable links 22b . 23b and the drive transmission shaft 39 are constantly aligned. Furthermore, their length does not change. Therefore, according to the present invention, the drive transmission shaft needs 39 to have no renewable education.
5 FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a position changing device for transmitting a rotational driving force to the movable plate and the fixing member when the degrees of freedom are increased by another degree of freedom as compared with that in FIG 1 shown embodiment is increased. It means that 5 basically the in 1 illustrated embodiment corresponds. In 5 is the device 15 to the position change in the movable plate 12 contain. The device 15 to the position change in 5 essentially consists of one on the shaft 14 applied helical gear 51 and one on the from the mounting part 19 extending shaft mounted helical gear 52 that with the helical gear 51 combs.
In this way, the rotational drive force of the additional actuator 13d via the drive transmission shaft 39 and the wave 14 on the device 15 transferred to the position change. Furthermore, the device uses 15 for changing the position, the transmitted rotational driving force for rotation of the fixing part 19 in the direction of the arrows. This means, in addition to the three degrees of freedom of the actuators 13a to 13c has the movable plate 12 of the robot with rectified connecting arms 10 because of the additional actuator 13d another degree of freedom. Therefore, the unillustrated gripping member of the robot with rectified connecting arms 10 perform more complicated activities according to the present invention.
According to the present invention, as is 2 shows the additional actuator 13d between the two adjustable links 22b and 23b arranged parallel to these. Therefore, the operating movements of the adjustable link 20b with the adjustment link 21b and the other connecting arms 20a . 20c through the additional actuator 13d not limited in scope. Furthermore, the additional actuator 13d and its associated parts not on the moving plate 12 provided so that the acceleration and deceleration performance of the movable plate 12 not deteriorated.
In addition, according to the present invention, the additional actuator 13d not directly on the moving plate 12 is mounted, but rather on one of the movable plate 12 comparatively distant place is provided. For this reason, even if the robot with rectified connecting arms 10 is used in an environment in which corrosive solution can splash on the moving parts, the corrosive solution practically never the additional actuator 13d to reach. Thus, a protective cover to protect the additional actuator 13d be omitted.
6 Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of a position change apparatus which transmits an input rotational driving force to the movable plate and the fixing member when the degrees of freedom of the embodiment 1 be extended by a further three degrees of freedom. 6 shows in addition to the additional actuator 13d two additional additional actuators 13e and 13f , As with reference to 2 has been explained is the actuator 13e between the adjustable links 22a and 23a parallel to each other and provided for this while the additional actuator 13f between the adjustable links 22c and 23c is arranged parallel to these. Further, the drive transmission shaft and the universal joint for the additional actuators 13e and 13f as well as the additional actuator 13d so that their explanations are omitted.
At the in 6 illustrated embodiment, the device 15 to the position change partly within the movable plate 12 intended. Further, on the lower side of the movable plate 12 a first (hand) joint part 16 mounted in a rotatable manner. On one side of the first joint part 16 is a second joint part 17 mounted in a rotatable manner. The fastening part 19 the gripping member, not shown, is on the underside of the second joint part 17 mounted in a rotatable manner.
As in 6 shown, a helical gear works 52 integral with the first (hand) hinge part 16 together. One with the additional actuator 13e cooperating helical gear 53 engages in a helical gear 54 a, that about the axis of rotation of the first joint part 16 is rotatable. Further engages on the opposite side of the helical gear 54 arranged helical gear 55 in a helical gear 56 one, which is together with the second joint part 17 rotates.
Out 6 also shows that the actuator 13f associated helical gear 57 with a helical gear 58 meshes, which is about the axis of rotation of the first wrist part 16 to turn. Further, a helical gear 59 on the helical gear 58 arranged opposite side and meshes with the helical gear 60 which is rotatable about the rotation axis of the second wrist part. In addition, a helical gear meshes 61 on the opposite side to the helical gear 60 is arranged with a helical gear 62 that together with the fastening part 19 rotates. Such a structure is known, so a detailed explanation is omitted. At the in 6 illustrated embodiment, the rotational drive force of the additional actuator 13d via a drive transmission shaft 39 and the wave 14 on the helical gears 51 and 52 transferred to the first (hand) joint part 16 to turn in the direction of arrow A1. Further, the rotational drive force of the additional actuator 13e via appropriate power transmission parts, etc. on the helical gears 53 . 54 . 55 and 56 on the second (hand) joint part 17 transferred to turn it in the direction of arrow A2. Finally, the rotational drive force of the actuator or the actuator 13f on the corresponding drive transmission parts, etc. on the helical gears 57 . 58 . 59 . 60 . 61 and 62 transferred to the fixing part 19 to turn in the direction of arrow A3.
For this reason, the movable plate has 12 of the robot with rectified connecting arms 10 at the in 6 illustrated embodiment in addition to the three degrees of freedom of the actuators 13a to 13c another three degrees of freedom through the additional actuators 13d to 13f , Therefore, the unillustrated gripping member of the robot with rectified connecting arms 10 perform more complicated work according to the present invention.
In the above-mentioned 1 In the embodiment shown, only the simple operation of lifting a part placed on a horizontal surface and moving it to another location can be performed, while in the case of FIG 6 illustrated embodiment the complicated Arbeitsverrichtung the erection of a part, the assembly in an inclined position or its insertion is possible with simultaneous rotation. Also at the in 6 In addition, it is clear that the aforementioned effect can be achieved. Furthermore, the axis of rotation of the first wrist part must 16 and the fastening part 19 and the rotation axis of the second joint part 17 do not cut at right angles to each other. Even cases with an angle other than 90 ° are included in the scope of the present invention. Note that, only of course, even a form of training without the second wrist part 17 and additional actuator 13f is clearly encompassed by the scope of the present invention.
7 in this regard, is an enlarged view showing details of the self-aligning ball bearings provided at the front ends of the adjustable links. In 7 and in the later explained 8th are the adjustable links 22b and 23b Representatively shown, but the other adjustable links 22a . 23a . 22c and 23c are formed in the same way. In 7 extends a continuous axis 65 through the adjustment link 21b and the two front ends 66b and 67b the continuous axis 65 are spherical. The two front ends 66b and 67b the continuous axis 65 are each in the self-aligning ball bearings 42b and 43b the adjustable links 22b and 23b stored.
Further, after 7 the two adjustable links 22b and 23b with the help of a spring 29 held together. Therefore, during operation of the robot with rectified connecting arms, the adjustable links become 21b never from the adjustable links 22b and 23b separated. When an operation error or the like causes the movable plate 12 The surrounding device, etc. strips, the two ends can 66b and 67b the continuous rod 65 easily from the pendulum ball bearings 42b and 43b Loosen so that the adjustment link 21b and the adjustable links 22b and 23b separate from each other. In this way, the adjustment link 21b and the adjustable links 22b and 23b be protected from damage.
8a is a partially exploded perspective view of a robot according to the invention. Mach 8a includes the drive transmission shaft 39 an outer tube or a hub 72 , Part of the drive transmission shaft 39 is as an inner tube 71 in the outer tube 72 introduced. As shown in a first enlarged view of the drive transmission shaft, see 8b , is the front end of the inner tube 71 with a wedge extending in the axial direction 73 Mistake. In the bore of the outer tube 72 is one the wedge 73 corresponding keyway 74 educated. Therefore, even in the case of inserting the inner tube 71 in the outer tube 72 the inner tube 71 and the outer tube 72 do not rotate in the circumferential direction against each other and the rotational drive force of the additional actuator 13d can so suitably on the device 15 be transferred to the position change.
Furthermore, if operational errors, etc. cause the moving plate 12 the surrounding device touches or collides with this and the adjustment link 21b and the adjustable links 22b and 23b can separate from each other, the inner tube 71 the drive transmission shaft 39 slightly from the outer tube 72 be separated in the axial direction.

As in 9b is shown, is also the attachment part 19 with a passage opening 28 provided with the passage opening 12a is formed coaxially. The hoses used for the gripping organ, eg. B. the air hose 79 , are further through the passage opening 78 of the fastening part 19 guided. If the gripping member is a suction pad, the air hose will fill 79 the function of generating a suction power. It should be noted, that the formation of the gripping member is not limited to a suction pad. Furthermore, in addition to the air hose 79 an electrical line through the passage opening 28 of the fastening part 19 be guided. Consequently, even if the additional actuator 13d etc. is operated, the air hose 79 and / or the electrical line are prevented from being connected to other parts, e.g. B. that on the fastening part 19 attached gripping organ to be wrapped. It should be noted that in the in 9b illustrated case, the rotation of the fastening part 19 through the twist of the air hose 79 and / or the electrical line is received.
10a FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a rectified link robot according to another embodiment of the present invention, while FIG 10b a schematic partial cross-sectional view of a robot with rectified connecting arms, as shown in 10a is shown, shows. Also in these drawings is that with a through hole 28 provided fastening part 19 in the passage opening 12a the movable plate 12 used. Further, on the bottom of the mounting part 19 a suction pad 78 attached as a gripping member.
In addition, in the through hole 28 at the top of the mounting part 19 the rotation recording unit 80 appropriate. How to get the 10b is the rotation recording unit 80 through the passage opening 28 over a rotary seal 81 built-in, so that the rotation recording unit 80 within the passage opening 28 of the fastening part 19 can turn. Further, with the part of the rotation receiving unit 80 coming from the attachment part 19 sticking out, the air hose 79 of the absorbent pad 78 via a connector 83 connected.
As in 10b is the upper end of the rotation receiving unit 80 closed, leaving the air hose 79 with the absorbent pad 78 about the rotation recording unit 80 to the connecting part 19 connected. In this way, the air hose 79 transfers its suction power to the suction pad lossless. Further, because the rotation receiving unit 80 at the in 10b illustrated embodiment is also provided, it can be seen that during the time of actuation of the additional adjustment 13d etc. the air hose 79 can be prevented from being wound up to other parts, for. B. around the end of the gripping member. Furthermore, in 10b illustrated case of air hose 79 not twisted, so the air tube over a longer period of time compared to the in 9b illustrated case is usable.
After the 10a and 10b is the rotation recording unit 80 further above the movable plate 12 and the fastening part 19 intended. In other words: the rotation recording unit 80 does not have to be between the attachment part 19 and the absorbent pad 78 be provided. At the in 10b illustrated embodiment, the distance between the fastening part 19 and the absorbent pad 78 not be enlarged. As a result, it is possible to use the tubular part 78a of the absorbent pad 78 to keep relatively short. For this reason, it is understood that the absorbent pad 78 can be prevented from working with the workpiece W, see 10a to collide.
According to the first aspect of the invention, it is possible to provide additional actuators up to the number of connecting arms, so that it is possible to increase the degrees of freedom of the robot with rectified connecting arms. At the in 11 According to the prior art embodiment shown, only the simple lifting of an object placed on a horizontal surface and its movement to another location can be carried out, while according to the first aspect of the invention it is now possible to perform the more complicated task of setting up a workpiece, the Allow assembly in an inclined position or insertion during a turn.
Further, since the additional actuator between the two adjusting links is arranged parallel to these, the working movements of these connecting arms, equipped with these adjusting links and the other links with respect to the working area, not limited by the additional actuator. Further, the additional actuator and the associated components are not disposed directly on the movable part, so that the acceleration and deceleration performance of the movable part is not deteriorated. Finally, the additional actuator may be provided at a location remote from the movable part, so that it is possible to omit a protective cover for the protection of the additional actuator even in an environment in which a corrosive solution could splash on the movable part.
According to the second aspect of the invention, the hoses and cables for the gripping member to be attached to a member to be attached to the movable member can be passed through the through hole. Therefore, a rotation receiving unit does not need to be on the gripping member, for. As the suction pad, may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular part. For this reason, the distance between the component to be attached to the movable member and the gripping member can be made smaller, and the gripping member can be prevented from colliding with a workpiece.
