  • Patent number: 10836052
    Abstract: A connection module includes a shaft member that can be rotated in place and can be lifted up and down, two wires arranged side by side and spirally wound on the shaft member, and an holder block connected with the bottom end of the shaft member and the bottom end of each wire such that the holder block drives the two wires to expand or to contract along the axial direction of the shaft member or to spiral in the axial direction of the shaft member when the holder block is driven by the shaft member. Thus, the connection module of the present invention can simplify the conventional complicated wiring mode, thereby saving operation space and reducing the risk of line breakage.

  • Patent number: 9744675
    Abstract: A gripper capable of lifting a work piece includes: a body including a sliding direction and a lifting axis defining a first angle relative to the sliding direction; a plurality of sliding blocks slidably mounted on the body and located at two sides of the lifting axis to move in the sliding direction toward or away from each other, wherein the sliding blocks each include a receiving hole at a second angle relative to the sliding direction; and a plurality of fingers slidably disposed in the receiving holes, and each including: a nose portion disposed in the receiving holes, and a finger portion to grip the work piece. When the sliding blocks are in the lifting position, the fingers are retracted into the receiving holes to make the finger portions move up along the lifting axis toward the body by a certain distance while clamping the work piece.

  • Patent number: 9308644
    Abstract: A robotic arm includes a motor, a ball screw spline shaft and a ball nut connected to the motor and attached to the ball screw spline shaft in such a manner that when the motor is started, the ball nut is rotated by the motor, and the ball screw spline shaft is forced to carry a movable seat linearly, causing the movable seat to synchronously move a tension bar to the position where a stopper member at the tension bar is stopped at a mount, and thus the movable seat can be pulled by the tension bar to bias a grip.

  • Patent number: 7634952
    Abstract: The rotating nut ball screw unit with lubricating arrangement has a lubricating device composed of a main body, a collar and a bearing. The main body is provided with several oil holes and is attached to the end surface of the nut. The main body is relatively rotatable with respect to the collar intercalating the bearing therebetween. An oil storage forces the lubricant into an oil reserving space surrounded by the main body, the collar and the bearing. The oil reserving space is in communication with the oil holes and allows the lubricant to be forced into the main body and then to reach the surface of the screw bolt via oil holes. The forced lubrication arrangement of the present invention ensures a better lubricating effect.
