20110072929 | PARALLEL MECHANISM AND MOVEABLE LINKAGE THEREOF - A moveable linkage for a parallel mechanism includes a swing arm, a four-link structure rotatably connected to the swing arm, and a plurality of pivotal shafts. The four-link structure includes a first connection shaft, a second connection shaft, a first link bracket and a second link bracket. Each of the first and second link brackets includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portions of the first and second link brackets overlap and rotatably connect two ends of the first connection shaft by the pivotal shafts. The second end portions of the first and second link brackets overlap and rotatably connect two ends of the second connection shaft by the pivotal shafts. | 03-31-2011 |
20110100145 | ROTATION MECHANISM AND ROBOT USING THE SAME - A rotation mechanism includes a flange, a shaft, a first swing member, and a second swing member. The shaft extends along a first axis. The first swing member is rotatably connected to and received in the flange around a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The second swing member is rotatably connected to and received in the first swing member around a third axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis. The shaft extends through the flange, the first swing member, and the second swing member. The shaft is non-rotatably and slidably received in the second swing member. A robot using the rotation mechanism is also provided. | 05-05-2011 |
20110100146 | ROBOT ARM - A robot arm includes a base, a first arm, and a second arm. The base includes a first spindle and a first motor to rotate the first spindle in a first axis. The first arm is rotatably connected to the base around the first axis. The second arm is rotatably connected to the first arm around a second axis parallel to the first axis. The second arm includes a second spindle, a second motor to rotate the second spindle, third spindle, a third motor to rotate the third spindle, a threaded rod extending along a third axis parallel to the first axis and rotated by the second spindle, a nut threaded on the threaded rod, a fourth motor fixed relative to the nut, and a fourth spindle connected to and rotated by the fourth motor. The nut moves along the threaded rod to slide the fourth spindle. | 05-05-2011 |
20110113915 | PARALLEL ROBOT - A parallel robot includes a fixed platform, a movable platform, a plurality of control arms, a rotation arm, a plurality of first actuators, and a second actuator. The control arms are rotatably connected to the fixed platform and the movable platform, respectively. Opposite ends of the rotation arm are universally rotatably connected to the fixed platform and the movable platform, respectively. The first actuators are to respectively move the control arms. The second actuator is to drive the rotation arm to rotate around the center axis of the rotation arm. Each control arm includes a first transmission unit including a transmission member. Each first actuator includes a transmission gear to engage the transmission member of the control arm. | 05-19-2011 |
20110146440 | MANIPULATOR ARM MECHANISM - A manipulator arm mechanism includes a pivot shaft, a first arm, a second arm, and an actuator. The first arm includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The second arm also includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The pivot shaft is connected to the first end of the first arm, and the pivot shaft has a first axis. The first end of the second arm is rotatably connected to the second end of the first arm and rotates around a second axis, and an angle between the first axis and the second axis is between 0° to 180°. The actuator is connected to the second end of the second arm. | 06-23-2011 |
20110291433 | ROBOT - A robot includes a base, a movable platform, a shaft rotatably connecting the movable platform and the base, three kinematic chains rotatably connecting the movable platform and the base, an end effector defining an air orifice, and a rotary member. The rotary member is rotatably connected to the movable platform, and two opposite ends of the rotary member are connected to the shaft and the end effector, respectively. The movable platform defines an air hole, and the rotary member defines an airflow passage communicating between the air hole and the air orifice. | 12-01-2011 |
20120137815 | SUPPORT MECHANISM AND ROBOT WITH THE SAME - A support mechanism for a robot includes a support member, and a fixing member. The fixing member is placed on the support member, and includes a V-shaped resilient clip with a fixing groove. A robot securely configured with the support mechanism is also provided when the robot is being transported or stowed when not in service. | 06-07-2012 |
20120266713 | ROBOT WITH ROTATION MECHANISM - A robot includes a base a movable platform, a plurality of control arms, a first actuator, a plurality of second actuators, and a rotation mechanism. The plurality of control arms are rotatably connected to the base and the movable platform respectively. The second actuators are configured to respectively drive the control arms to swing. The rotation mechanism includes a shaft rotated by the first actuator. The shaft is rotatable relative to the base and the movable platform is positioned around at least two axes. The at least two axes include two axes substantially perpendicular to each other. The shaft is slidable relative to the base. | 10-25-2012 |
