ROBOT AND ROBOT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18605866 titled 'ROBOT AND ROBOT SYSTEM
The abstract of the patent application describes a robot with a unique locking mechanism involving a first member, a second member, a restricting member, and locking members.
- The robot includes a first member and a second member that can rotate around a rotation axis.
- A restricting member with a contact portion is in contact with the first member at a predetermined angle.
- A first locking member passes through a through hole in the restricting member to lock it to the second member.
- A second locking member also locks the restricting member to the second member.
- The distance between the contact portion and the first locking member is shorter than the distance to the second locking member.
- The through hole is longer in the direction from the first locking member to the contact portion than the diameter of the first locking member.
Potential Applications: - Industrial robotics - Automation systems - Assembly line machinery
Problems Solved: - Secure locking mechanism for robot components - Precise control of rotational movement
Benefits: - Increased stability and precision in robot operations - Simplified assembly and disassembly processes
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Locking Mechanism for Industrial Robots" This technology can be used in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and electronics for improved efficiency and accuracy in robotic operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this locking mechanism improve the performance of the robot? - The locking mechanism ensures stability and precision in the robot's movements, enhancing its overall performance. 2. What industries can benefit the most from this innovative locking mechanism? - Industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and electronics can benefit from the improved efficiency and accuracy provided by this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A robot includes a first member, a second member coupled rotatably around a rotation axis to the first member, a restricting member having a contact portion in contact with the first member when an angle between the first member and the second member is a predetermined angle and a through hole formed therein, a first locking member passing through the through hole and locking the restricting member to the second member, and a second locking member locking the restricting member to the second member, wherein, as seen from a direction along the rotation axis, a distance between the contact portion and the first locking member is shorter than a distance between the contact portion and the second locking member, and a length of the through hole in a direction from the first locking member to the contact portion is longer than a diameter of the first locking member.
