DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises an end effector displaceable by a mechanism having four rods, wherein the four rods form a quadrilateral in a plane perpendicular to the main axis and the main shaft and the main shaft. The three rods are connected at respective ends of the rods in parallel with the main shaft, and the four rods are connected to the main shaft and the three shafts.
The present invention relates to manipulators which are relatively rotatable around a main rotation axis. The manipulator includes an end effector movable by a four-rod mechanism.
Two of the rods are rotatable about a main axis, and the main axis extends perpendicular to a plane on which the relatively rotatable rod moves.
The manipulators of the type defined at the outset correspond to the European patent application EP
It is known from -A1-0232930. In that manipulator, the four rods of the four rod mechanism are tubular throughout the entire cross-section and through substantially the entire length of the rod. The rods are interconnected in the vicinity of four pivots parallel to the main shaft. This means that: That is, since the rods are interconnected, the rods need to be very precisely positioned or aligned at the junction between the rods to avoid structural stress.
The complete tubular rod is overly constrained kinematically, and such structures require adjustment after assembly of the parts to be connected, after fabrication.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a manipulator that does not have such disadvantages.
In order to achieve this object, the manipulator according to the present invention is configured such that each of the rods has a support plate and a tubular support portion, and the support plate and the support portion have one end in the longitudinal direction of the rod orthogonal to the main axis. The support plate and the tubular support portion extend from the driving shaft to the rotation shaft at the other end and are separated from each other in the direction of the main shaft, and the support plate and the tubular support portion are connected by a bridge plate. The length of the rod extends along one side of the tubular support orthogonal to the plate, while the support of the tubular portion and the continuous rods connected to each other is a common plate extending orthogonal to the main axis. It is characterized in that it is alternately located on one side and the other side of the reference plane.
The present invention is based on recognizing the following facts. In other words, by adopting a configuration in which the number of restraints is minimized, it is possible not only to avoid the stress generated after manufacturing the structure, or to eliminate the alignment during mounting, but also to achieve a relatively large rigidity with a relatively lightweight structure. You can get. Such a triple advantage can be obtained in the manipulator according to the present invention. In the manipulator according to the invention, the cross section of the rod is effectively divided into a tubular profile having a relatively large torsion and bending stiffness and a plate-like profile adjacent thereto. It should be noted that the plate-like profile has relatively low resistance to bending and twisting, but can absorb tensile and compressive forces.
In a particular embodiment of the manipulator, the forces acting on the end effector are optimally absorbed by the rod. Its features are:
A threaded mandrel to which the end effector is mounted and which is rotatable and displaceable by first and second drive sleeves is arranged coaxially with a pivot axis parallel to the main axis and also comprises a tubular first rod. A drive sleeve in a first collar connected to the support and in a second collar connected to a tubular support of a second rod rotatably fixed to the first rod is supported via a ball bearing. , The first color is the second
The second collar is supported by ball bearings in the support plate of the first rod, while the second collar is supported by ball bearings in the support plate of the rod.
In another embodiment of the manipulator, the drive for rotating the mandrel and / or the drive for the translation of the end effector is integrated with the kinematically unconstrained support of the threaded mandrel. Has become. The feature of this example is that each of the drive sleeves is connected to the rotor of the electric motor,
The rotor comprises a permanent magnet, the permanent magnet being rotatable within a stator coil fixed to the tubular support of the associated rod.
In yet another embodiment of the manipulator, the so-called transverse (shear) forces are optimally transmitted. A feature of this example is that third and fourth rods that are driven and rotatable about a main shaft are connected to the remaining first and second rods near the ends of those rods remote from the main shaft. The connecting member is relatively rigid in a direction parallel to the main axis and is fixed at one end to the associated tubular support of the driven rod and further to the support plate of the driven rod. Anchored near the other end (113), the support plate of the driven rod is supported via a pole bearing by the tubular support of the associated remaining rod, while the support plate of the remaining rod is Is supported via a ball bearing by a tubular support portion of the rod to be formed.
Another embodiment of the manipulator has a relatively high resistance to so-called torsional moments. The feature of this example is that in the driven third rod, the tubular support is the first rod.
The tubular support is anchored to the support plate by a second bridge formed by a second reinforced pipe, while the tubular support in the driven fourth rod is fixed to the support plate by a bridge formed by the second reinforced pipe. The center line of the reinforced pipe is parallel to the main axis.
In yet another embodiment of the manipulator, a relatively compact drive rotates the rod about a main shaft. A feature of this example is that the driven third and fourth rods are connected to first and second motor drives by first and second drive pipes, respectively, which drive pipes are parallel to the main shaft. The first inner drive pipe is rotatable about a central post and arranged concentrically with one another, the first inner drive pipe is anchored to the tubular support of the third rod, while the second outer drive pipe is That is, it is fixed to the support plate of the fourth rod.
The manipulator shown in FIG. 1 is disclosed in European Patent Application No. 8720007.
No. 5.7, which is equipped with a four-rod mechanism, which consists of two rods, a front arm 3 and 5 arranged near the threaded mandrel 1 and two rods; That is, it has rear arms 9 and 11 disposed near the vertical main shaft 7. Conventional end effectors or grippers are not shown for simplicity, but they are secured to a threaded mandrel. The threaded mandrel 1 may of course be regarded as one end effector. Rod 3,
5, 11 and 9 can move on a horizontal plane orthogonal to the main axis 7.
Among the rods 3, 5, 11, and 9, a set of rods (3, 5),
(5, 11), (11, 9), and (9, 3) are relatively rotatable around vertical rotation shafts 13, 15, 17, and 19. The pivot shaft 13 coincides with the center line of the threaded mandrel 1, and the pivot shaft 17 coincides with the main shaft 7. The front arms 3, 5 (first and second rods, respectively) are identical. Similarly, the rear arms 9, 11 are identical (third and fourth rods, respectively). The rear arms 9 and 11 can be driven by respective drives at the vertical columns 21. Incidentally, the center line of the vertical column 21 constitutes the main shaft 7. The driving device will be described later in detail. Rear arm 9
And 11 at various angular velocities causes radial or tangential movement of the threaded mandrel. The absolute value of the angular velocity is the same for both arms, but the direction may be the same or vice versa. For any non-radial, non-tangential movement, the absolute values of the angular velocities are not equal. The outer cylinder 23 and the inner cylinder 25 define the working space of the manipulator, in this case being horizontal and annular. The working space can, of course, be part of an annular or tubular part. Therefore, the term annular work space should be understood in a broad sense. Both the lower and upper arms are made of steel.
As shown in FIG. 3, the threaded mandrel 1 is supported on a first drive sleeve 27 and a second drive sleeve 29. The drive sleeves 27 and 29 are arranged coaxially with the pivot or pivot shaft 13 and are guided by rollers at the edge of the threaded mandrel 1. However, the rollers are not shown. The cooperation between the threaded mandrel 1 and the drive sleeves 27 and 29 is described in more detail in Dutch Patent Application No. 870118.
See issue 3. The drive sleeve 27 is attached to the rotor 31 of the first electric motor 33 with screws so as to be coaxial with the rotation shaft 13, and the drive sleeve 29 is attached to the rotor 35 of the second electric motor 37.

The ring portion 71 is welded to the first rod, that is, the tubular support portion 73 of the front arm 3. The lower surface of the motor housing 55 is connected to and fixed to the ring portion 75 with screws. The ring 75 is likewise welded to the first rod, the tubular support 73 of the front arm 3. The lower surface of the motor housing 57 is connected to and fixed to the ring portion 77 by screws. The ring 77 is welded to the second rod, the tubular support 79 of the front arm 5. The upper surface of the motor housing 57 is connected to and fixed to the ring portion 81 with a screw. The ring 81 is likewise welded to the second rod, the tubular support 79 of the front arm 5. The first collar 43 is supported by a ball bearing 83 on a ring 85, which is screwed to a first rod, namely a support plate 87 which forms part of the front arm 3.
The second collar 53 is supported by a ball bearing 89 on a ring 91. The ring 91 is fixed to a first rod, that is, a support plate 93 forming a part of the front arm 3 by screws. Thus, rotors 31 and 35 are
With respect to 55 and 57, they are rotatable around the rotation shaft 13 in the same direction or in the opposite direction. On the other hand, at the same time, the front arms 3 and 5 are integrally rotatable with the motor housings 55 and 57 around the rotation shaft 13.
The front arms 3 and 5 are connected to the rear arms 9 and 11 at pivot points 19 and 15.
The connection between the front arm 3 and the rear arm 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. Front arm 5 and rear arm
The connection with 11 is basically the same. As shown in FIG. 9, the front arm 3 and the rear arm 9 are fixed to each other by a connecting member 95. The connecting member 95 is relatively rigid in a direction parallel to the main shaft 7 and has a cylindrical shaft shape.
Both ends 97 and 99 are provided with threaded holes. The connecting member 95 is further provided with two shoulders 101 and 103. This shoulder is pressed against a first cone 105 and a second cone 107, which are screwed to ends 97 and 99 of the connecting member by nuts 109 and 111, respectively. Cone 105
And 107 have flat edges 113 and 115, respectively. In addition, this disk-shaped edge portion connects the cone to the rear arm 9 and the front arm 3.
Function as a means for fixing the Cone 105 bolt 117
Are fixed to the support plate 119 of the rear arm 9, while the cone 107 is fixed to the tubular support 123 of the rear arm 9 by bolts 121. The support ring 127 of the ball bearing 129 is fixed to the tubular support 73 of the front arm 3 with a bolt 125. The ball bearing 129 is further supported on a support plate 119 of the rear arm 9. Bolts 121 also fix the support ring 133 of the ball bearing 133 to the tubular support 123 of the rear arm 9. The ball bearing 133 is further supported on the tubular support 123 of the rear arm 9. The ball bearing 129 has a so-called labyrinth seal, and the labyrinth seal has two engagement rings (Engaging
Rings 135 and 137, of which the ring 137 is screwed to the support ring 127. The ball bearing 133 is provided with a labyrinth seal also composed of engagement rings 139 and 141, of which ring 14
1 is bolted to the support ring 131. Ring 135
Is surrounded by a shoulder at the flat edge 113 of the cone 105. On the other hand, the ring 139 is surrounded by a washer. The washer has a shoulder and is fixed to the support plate 93 of the front arm 3 with a bolt 145. It should be noted that the cones 105 and 107 also have a relatively high rigidity in a direction parallel to the main shaft 7. Front arm 5 in principle
The rear arm 11 and the arms 3 and 9 are connected to each other by a rotation shaft 19 (see FIG. 2). As can be seen from the foregoing, both the front and rear arms have a tubular support and a support plate. The tubular support and the support plate are interconnected by a so-called bridge plate (bridge) extending in a plane parallel to the main shaft 7. For example, the tubular supports 73 and 79 of the lower arms 3 and 5 are bridge plates 147 and 149.
, Are fixed to the support plates 93 and 97. Bridge plate
147 and 149 can also be welded to the individual tubular supports and support plates. Preferably, one sheet is bent at a right angle to make the bridge plate and the support plate of the front arm with one sheet. The result is an L-shaped plate viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the front arm. It is welded along the one edge to a corresponding tubular support of rectangular cross section. Since the bridge plates 147 and 149 are located outside the manipulator, when viewed from the outside, they have a closed configuration as shown in FIG. As described above, the ring portions 71 and 75 and the ring 91 are provided on the side of the front arm 3 located near the rotation shaft 13. These are welded with the ring part to the support part 73 and the ring to the plate 93, respectively. On the side of the front arm 3 located near the rotation shaft 19, a tubular cylindrical support member 151 and a washer 153 are provided. The support member 151 is welded to the support portion 73, while the washer 153 is welded to the plate 93. As shown in FIG. 9, the ball bearing 133 is surrounded by the support ring 131 and the washer 153. A ring portion is provided on the side of the front arm 5 which is located near the rotation shaft 13.
77, 81 and a ring 85 are provided. The ring portion is welded to the support portion 79 and the ring 85 is welded to the plate 87, respectively. Front arm 5
On the side located in the vicinity of the rotating shaft 15 is a tubular cylindrical support member
155 and washer 157 are provided. For simplicity, the connection between the front arm 5 and the rear arm 11 is not shown. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the interconnected front arm 3 and rear arm 5 are located with respect to a common reference, so that the tubular supports and support plates of the connecting rods (arms 3, 5) are provided. Are alternately located on one side and the other.
Such a common reference may be, for example, a horizontal plane located about halfway between the tubular supports of successive rods. Thus, a very light, rigid and compact structure can be realized with the relatively small height of the four rod mechanism. In the following, which further describes the structure of the rear arms 9 and 11, the shapes described here will be explained in more detail.
The rear arm 9 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 9, 10 and 11 has essentially the same structure as the front arms 3 and 5. That is, it has a tubular support, which is connected to the support plate by a bridge or bridge plate.
However, compared to the front arms 3 and 5, the rear arms 9 and 11
Is more complicated. The rear arm or third rod 9 has a tubular support 159 which is a vertical plate 159a, 159b, 159c, 159d parallel to the main axis 7, a horizontal plate 159e perpendicular to the main axis, and two horizontal plates. Plate parts 159f, 159g and reference number 16
It consists of an assembly of 1,163 vertical tubular sections 159h. The vertical tubular portion 159h extends from the plate 159e to a boundary 165 indicated by a dotted line in FIG. The tubular portion 159h forms a part of the torsion cylinder 167 (first reinforced pipe), and its center line is parallel to the main axis 7. The torsion cylinder 167 has another tubular part 169
Having. This other tubular portion 169 is located above the boundary line 165, and the bridge between the tubular support portion 159 and the support plate 119 (Bridg
e) forming. At the end of the rear arm 9 located near the rotation shaft 19, a tubular cylindrical support member 171 and a support ring 173 of a ball bearing 129 are provided (see FIG. 9). The cylindrical support member 171 is welded to the tubular support 159, while the support ring 173 is welded to the support plate 119. On the side of the rear arm 9 located near the rotation shaft 17,
A tubular cylindrical support member 175 and a support ring 177 are provided by welding. The plates 159a-d are welded to the plate 159e, plate portions 159f, 159g, torsional sill 167 and cylindrical support members 171 and 175. The torsional silling 167 is welded on its lower surface to the plate 159e and on its upper surface to the support plate 119. Further, the rear arm 9 is provided with a vertical cover plate 179, which is welded to the support members (171, 175), the plate 159e and the support plate 119. The cover plate 179 adds stiffness and reduces the angular outer shape of the rear arm 9, but need not be applied to all of the manipulators.
The rear arm 11 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 12 and 13 has in principle the same structure as the rear arm 9 already described. But,
The tubular support is located above, rather than below, the support plate. The rear arm, ie the fourth rod 11, has a tubular support 181 which is a vertical plate 181a, 181b, 181c, 1 parallel to the main shaft 7.
81d, a horizontal plate 181e orthogonal to the main axis, two horizontal plate portions 18
1f, 181g and reference numeral 183, 185 vertical tubular section 18
Consists of a 1h assembly. The tubular portion extends from the plate 181e to a boundary 187 indicated by a dotted line in FIG. Tubular part 181h
Form part of a torsion cylinder 189 (second reinforced pipe), the center line of which is parallel to the main axis 7. Twist cylinder 18
9 further has a tubular portion 191. This tube lies below the boundary line 187 and forms a bridge plate between the tubular support 181 and the support plate 193. A cylindrical support member 195 and a support ring 197 of a ball bearing are provided on the side of the rear arm 11 located near the rotation shaft 15. Since it is similar to FIG. 9, the ball bearing is not shown in the drawing around the rotation axis 15 for simplicity. The cylindrical support member 195 is welded to the tubular support 181 while the support ring 197 is welded to the support plate 193. Rear arm 11
The cylindrical support member 19 is provided at the end located near the rotary shaft 17 of
9 and the support ring 201 are provided by welding. Further, the rear arm 11 is provided with a vertical cover plate 203. The connection between the plate, the cylinder and the cylindrical support member is similar to that of the rear arm 9 and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the cross sections in FIGS. 10 and 12 are formed by planes perpendicular to the drawings in FIGS. 11 and 13, but are shown in projection to save space. As a result, the plate parts 159f, 159g
181f and 181g are not visible in FIGS. 10 and 12, respectively.
As can be seen in FIG. 14, the rear arm, the third rod 9, is fixed to the first inner drive pipe 207 by bolts 205. On the other hand, the rear arm 11 is fixed to the second outer drive pipe 211 with bolts 204. The drive pipes 207 and 211 are rotatable around a central column 213 having the shape of a thick pipe. The inner wall of the thick pipe is indicated by dotted line 215. Thus, the drive pipes 207, 211 and the central column 213 form part of the column 21 described above (see FIG. 1). In FIG. 14, the central column 213 is shown in an elevation view. Rear arm 9
Is rotatable around a column 213 by ball bearings 217, 219 and 221. The ball bearings 217 and 219 are separated from each other by a spacer sleeve 223. The ball bearing 221 is a support ring 177 welded to the support plate 119.
And is surrounded by a ring 225. The ring 225 is fixed to the rear arm 11 by bolts 227. The rear arm 11 has ball bearings 229,
By 231 and 233, it is rotatable around the column 213. The ball bearings 229 and 231 are separated from each other by a spacer sleeve 235. The ball bearings 219 and 231 are separated from each other by a spacer sleeve 237. Ball bearing 233 is a support ring 201 welded to the support plate
And is surrounded by the flange 239 of the inner drive pipe 207 and the flange 241 of the outer drive pipe 211. In principle, the rear arm, ie the third
The tubular support of the rod 9 is fixed to the first inner drive pipe 207. On the other hand, the rear arm, that is, the fourth rod 11
Of the second outer drive pipe 2 through the support ring 201
Fixed to 11.
Since the motor drives of the drive pipes 207 and 211 are similar,
Only the driving device for the outer driving pipe 211 will be described. FIG. 14 shows only a part of the driving device of the inner driving pipe in consideration of the size of the drawing.
The outer drive pipe 211 is fixed to the sleeve 247 by a bolt 243. The sleeve is rotatable around the main shaft 7 by a ball bearing 245, and a bolt 249
Is screwed to the gear 251. The ball bearing 245 is supported by the spacer sleeve 253. The spacer sleeve 253 surrounds the central column 213 and is disposed between the ball bearing 255 and the ball bearing 257. Thus, the inner drive pipe 207 is rotatably supported around the column 213. Pinion shaft 26
3 is fixed to the output shaft 259 of the second drive motor 261, and the pinion 265 is engaged with the gear 251. Note that the pinion 265 is located on the pinion shaft 263. The pinion shaft 263 is supported by a ball bearing 267. A second drive motor 261 for driving the outer drive pipe 211 of the rear arm 11 and a first drive motor for driving the inner drive pipe 207 of the rear arm 9 (not shown in FIG. 14).
Are fixed to the base plate 269 on either side of the central column 213. FIG. 14 shows the gear 271 of the drive of the inner drive pipe 207, which is engaged with a pinion corresponding to the pinion 265. The gear 271 is fixed to the ring 275 with a bolt 273. In addition, ring 275 is bolt 277
At the inner drive pipe 207. The two drive pipes are preferably identical.
The above-described configuration of the front arms 3, 5 and the rear arms 9, 11 is relatively lightweight and can withstand relatively large loads. Regarding the load capacity, the following should be noted. That is, a so-called radial force (radial with respect to the main shaft 7), which acts, for example, via the end effector of the four-rod mechanism and the threaded mandrel 1; Is transmitted through the upper and lower surfaces. The individual plates of the rod are substantially aligned with one another, so that relatively thin and wide plates can transmit enough force. The so-called axial forces (parallel to the main shaft 7) are transmitted via vertical plates of the front and rear arms, which can be subjected to shear and bending forces. The connecting member 95 (see FIG. 9) is relatively rigid in the direction parallel to the main shaft 7, and the rotating shafts 15 and 19
Can transmit the axial force sufficiently. The so-called torque or bending moment acting on the threaded mandrel 1 can be understood as a combination of radial and axial forces. These forces are transmitted as described above. The four rod mechanism also has a very high resistance to torsion since it has a tubular support. Furthermore, since the manipulator has a symmetrical configuration, the power and load of the motor drive can be well distributed. Finally, it should be noted that the configuration of the manipulator as a whole is not kinematically over-constrained. This provides not only the simple attachment of the four rod mechanism, but also the following major advantages. The advantage is that the configuration of the manipulator itself does not create any additional internal loads. This is because it is superimposed on the external load generated by the operation of the manipulator.
