The specific embodiment
In conjunction with the following drawings embodiments of the present invention are described and are understood technical scheme of the present invention is become more obviously and easily.
With reference to accompanying drawing 1, the structure of Delta parallel robot is as follows:
This mechanism comprises a silent flatform 11, a moving platform 12 and three side chains that are connected these two platforms.These three branched structures are identical, and are 120 ° and are arranged symmetrically with.Every side chain is made up of drive rod 4 and follower lever 13.Drive rod 4 is upper and lower revolute pair with silent flatform 11, and drive rod 4 thinks that with follower lever 13 Hooke's hinge is connected, follower lever 13 with moving platform 12 also for Hooke's hinge is connected.
Drive rod 4 and follower lever 13 all adopt carbon fiber pipe material, and its two ends adopt the adaptor that intensity is higher to connect, and in robots arm's body, the higher rod member length of required precision is L1 and L2:
Because the length direction of L1 does not overlap with carbon fiber pipe center, more difficult measurement when assembling, therefore precision is difficult to guarantee; And the length of L2 is large, while therefore measurement, be also difficult to guarantee its precision.
To sum up reason, utilizes parallel robot rod member mounting plate of the present invention can well guarantee its installation accuracy.
With reference to accompanying drawing 2 and accompanying drawing 3, parallel robot rod member mounting plate structure of the present invention is as follows: comprise pedestal 1, described pedestal 1 has upper flat surface A, and the machining accuracy of this surfaces A and upper locating hole thereof is all higher, for other parts of location and installation; Turntable 2, is assemblied in the locating hole of flat surface A on pedestal 1, described turntable 2 and described locating hole interference fits, and, turntable 2 can with respect to pedestal 1 around the shaft M1 on upper flat surface A, do to horizontally rotate; Described turntable 2 can be fixed rod member and the adapter thereof of parallel robot, and horizontally rotates with rod member.In addition, also can be by the size of replacing turntable 2 to adapt to the matching requirements of different big or small rod members.Two guide rails that are parallel to each other 9 are also installed on upper flat surface A, the slide block 7 that can slide along guide rail is also housed on described guide rail 9, bearing pin 6 is housed on slide block 7, this bearing pin 6 and slide block 7 interference fits, and described bearing pin 6 can be done to horizontally rotate along rotating shaft M2 with respect to described slide block 7.Described bearing pin 6 can fixed beam adapter, and horizontally rotates with adapter; The direction translational that described slide block 7 can drive described bearing pin 6 and rod member adapter to extend along described guide rail 9.The center of described two guide rails 9 overlaps with the projection of rod member to be assembled on upper flat surface A.Limited block 10, for locating the position of described slide block 7, in the time of needs rod member length how long, just this limited block 10 is moved to this assigned address, and be fixed on pedestal 1, when assembling, only slide block 7 need be close to this limited block 10 length accuracy that can guarantee rod member is installed.Described mounting plate also comprises grating scale, and its movable block is connected with described slide block 7, for measuring the distance of the central rotating shaft M2 of described slide block 7 with respect to the central rotating shaft M1 of turntable 2; The direction of measurement of grating scale is parallel with described guide rail 9, to guarantee that the measurement length of grating scale is exactly the physical length of rod member to be assembled.Other keeper also can be installed on described slide block 7, to adapt to different rod member installation requirements, for example, in the time of assembling follower lever, can alignment pin 15 be installed on slide block 7 and replace bearing pin 6.
Just elaborate this working platform process as an example of the assembling process of drive rod 4 and follower lever 13 example below:
Before assembling, must carry out initialization of calibration to this platform, calibration steps is as follows:
Slide block 7 is moved to a certain position, utilize high-precision gage to measure the distance of turntable rotating shaft M1 and slide block rotating shaft M2, and record the reading of grating scale, be assumed to be a; And the reading of gage, be assumed to be b., just calculate needed rod member length in the time that rod member is assembled using this reading as benchmark, for example, if the reading of grating scale is c in the time of assembling, the physical length of the rod member that assembling obtains is so just b+c-a.
As shown in Figure 2, its assembling process is as follows for the assembling process of drive rod 4:
First according to the position of the length adjustment slide block 7 of required drive rod 4 and limited block 10, now must utilize the reading of grating scale to carry out auxiliary positioning.Limited block 10 can be fixed on pedestal when being adjusted to after assigned address.
Then drive rod 4 is connected with the first adapter 3, and the first adapter 3 and drive rod 4 are together fixed on turntable 2, and connects with screw, it is identical that its connected mode and drive rod are connected to connected mode on silent flatform.
Then the second adapter 5 is fixed on bearing pin 6, now can sliding slider 7, can not have influence on the installation accuracy of drive rod 4.
Follow sliding slider 7 and be close to limited block 10, drive rod 4 is inserted in the second adapter 5, can complete assembling by fastening part.
In this assembling process, also can measure the perpendicularity of axis M3 and the rotating shaft M2 of drive rod 4, and finely tune the perpendicularity with assurance M3 and M2 that is connected of adaptor and drive rod 4 in when assembling.
After having assembled, adapter is taken out from assembly bench.
As shown in Figure 3, its assembling process is as follows for the assembling process of follower lever 13:
First the fixture of follower lever 13 14 is arranged in the installing hole of turntable 2, and replaces bearing pin 6 with alignment pin 15.
Before assembling, one end of follower lever 13 and joint 17 can be connected.
Then follower lever 13 is clamped on fixture 14, position, at the near middle of rod member, does not need accurate position.
Then, moving slider 7, makes alignment pin 15 coordinate with joint 17, records the now reading e of grating scale, and distance b+e-a of convert acquisition rotating shaft M1 and rotating shaft M2.
After supposing that follower lever 13 rotates 180 ° along turning cylinder M1, the reading of grating scale is f, distance b+f-a of rotating shaft M1 and rotating shaft M2 so, and the length L 2 that can obtain like this follower lever 13 is 2b+e+f-2a.Thus, according to the length L 2 of required follower lever 13, can reverse go out the reading f of grating scale, that is, and the position F that limited block 10 should move.
Then, slide block 7 and limited block 10 are moved to this assigned address F, and fixing limited block 10.
Then, follower lever 13 is rotated to 180 ° along turning cylinder M1, and adapter 16 is connected with alignment pin 15, moving slider 7 makes it be close to limited block 10, and follower lever 13 is connected and can completes assembling with adapter 16.
Although by reference to the accompanying drawings preferred embodiment of the present invention is described above; but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiment; the above-mentioned specific embodiment is only schematic; be not restrictive; those of ordinary skill in the art is under enlightenment of the present invention; not departing from the scope situation of aim of the present invention and claim protection, can also make the concrete conversion of a lot of forms, within these all belong to protection scope of the present invention.
