Patent number: 8978509Abstract: A robot arm assembly includes a main base, a joint and at least one arm. The main base includes a main body, and the main body includes a mounting portion and a limiting post on a side of the mounting portion. The joint is rotatably mounted on the mounting portion and includes a limit piece corresponding to the limiting post. The at least one arm is fixed to the joint, when the arm rotates relative to the main base to a predetermined extent of rotation, the limit piece abuts against the limiting post to stop the rotation of the arm.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xiao-Peng Pan, Chao-Qiang Liu

Patent number: 8561496Abstract: An industrial robot includes a mounting base, a turning base rotatable relative to the mounting base about a rotation axis, and a stopper mechanically limiting an operating angle of the turning base. The stopper includes a fixed section attached to the mounting base, a connecting base attached to the turning base, and a swing lever pivotally connected to the connecting base and capable of swinging between a first position and a second position. The turning base is maintained in the first position and the second position, respectively, by the stopper when the swing lever contacts the fixed section, thereby limiting the operating angle of the turning base.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Xiao-Peng Pan

Publication number: 20130098190Abstract: A mechanical manipulator includes a base seat, a connecting arm, a mechanical arm, an electric cable, and a cable protection structure. The connecting arm has a first end rotatably hinged to the base seat, a second end opposite to the first end, and a side surface, the connecting arm defines a cable receiving slot in the side surface. The mechanical arm is rotatably hinged to the second end of the connecting arm. The electric cable is partially received within the cable receiving slot. Two ends of the electric cable are exposed from two ends of the cable receiving slot and then enter into the base seat and the mechanical arm respectively. The cable protection structure is fixed to the connecting arm and resists against the electric cable toward the cable receiving slot, for preventing the electric cable emerging from the cable receiving slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicants: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD., Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd.Inventor: XIAO-PENG PAN

Patent number: 8245592Abstract: A manipulator includes an arm body, a cable, and at least one cover fixed on the arm body. The arm body has at least one friction portion over which the at least one cover covers. The at least one cover separates the cable from contacting with the friction portion, thus protects the cable from being damaged by the friction portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xiao-Peng Pan, Zhen-Xing Liu, Jun-Hai Liu

Publication number: 20090095110Abstract: An exemplary rotational mechanism (100) includes a cable (14), a cable-protecting structure (16), a first member (12) and a second member (10) rotatable relative to each other. The cable is fixed relative to the second member. A first through hole (128) is defined in the first member. The cable-protecting structure includes a bearing (161). The bearing includes an inside ring (163) and an outside ring (164) rotatable relative to each other. The bearing is received inside of the first through hole. The outside ring of the bearing is fixed to the first member. The cable is spaced from a ledge (1282) formed the first through hole and supported by the inside ring of the bearing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2008Publication date: April 16, 2009Applicants: HONG FU JIN PRECISION INDUSTRY (ShenZhen) CO., LTD., HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Chia-Peng Day, Jun-Hai Liu, Xiao-Peng Pan
