  • Publication number: 20230398681
    Abstract: The application discloses an adsorption parallel machining robot, including a machining module and an adsorption module. The machining module includes a fixed platform, a movable platform, multiple branch chains and end effector; multi-degree-of-freedom motion is achieved through linear motion of the multiple branch chains. The adsorption module includes multiple fixed adsorption branch chains, each of which includes a connecting bracket, an adsorption device, an adsorption locking device, an omnidirectional wheel and a driving device, and is used for achieving adsorption and movement of the robot on the surface of a workpiece. Besides the locking function, the locking device additionally has a cleaning function, and residual cutting chips on the robot can be removed.

  • Patent number: 11583966
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an machining device based on a portable 5-DOF parallel module. The machining device based on a portable 5-DOF parallel module comprises: a table for moving a parallel module to increase the stroke of the machine tool such that the machine tool can machine large components and can also simultaneously conduct the mounting and the machining of workpieces at different stations; a CNC rotary table; and a portable 5-DOF parallel module. The portable parallel module has a large swing angle range, can conduct the conversion between vertical and horizontal machining modes and can achieve five-face machining in one setup in cooperation with the CNC rotary table. The parallel module can move flexibly, and can machine large and complex components after mounted on the sliding table. After the machining of the workpiece is completed, the parallel module can move to the position of a mounted component through the table to conduct the machining of the next component.

  • Patent number: 11312005
    Abstract: A two-degree-of-freedom parallel robot with a spatial kinematic chain includes a fixed platform, a movable platform, two driving devices, and two branch chains. Each driving device includes an active arm and a driving unit, and the two active arms are in the same reference plane. An end bracket is hinged on the active arm. Each branch chain includes two shaft rods and two chain rods. One of the two shaft rods is arranged on the active arm or the end bracket, and the other one thereof is arranged on the movable platform. The two chain rods and the two shaft rods form a parallelogram.
