Abstract:
A stopper apparatus for robot rotary joint, for limiting the rotation angle of a turning shaft. The stopper apparatus includes: a rotary protrusion, fixed to the shaft and extended from an outer circumference surface of the shaft; a ring-like orbit, fixed to a mounting housing of the robot rotary joint, inserting the shaft therein; a first slider and a second slider, rotatably accommodated in the orbit and able to push each other to rotate; a stop protrusion, fixed to the housing of a robot rotary joint and extended in the direction of the center of the shaft; the rotary protrusion is able to directly push the second slider to rotate, while it is not able to directly push the first slider to rotate; the shaft, the rotary protrusion and the second slider cannot be obstructed by the stop protrusion when rotate, while the first slider is able to be obstructed by the stop protrusion when rotate, thereby the relative rotation between the shaft and the housing can be stopped. The present invention also provides a rotary joint and a robot. Compared with the existing prior arts, the proposed solution enables a rotation range larger than ±360 degrees.
