摘要:
A joint structure is employed for an articulated type robot in which a speed reducer of one-stage speed reducing structure and a servo motor are directly connected to each other for the joint of the rotary base B1 and the lower arm A1 and for the joint of the lower arm A1 and the upper arm A2. The input shaft 2 of the speed reducer 10 directly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 1 attached to the first member 8 (B1/A2) is a crank shaft composing a cam, and the external gears 3a, 3b, 3c are meshed with the cam surfaces. When the servo motor 1 is driven and the input shaft 2 is rotated, the external gears 3a, 3b, 3c are eccentrically revolved and rotated while the external gears 3a, 3b, 3c are meshed with the internal gear 4 provided inside the case 5 of the speed reducer 10. The rotation is taken out by a plurality of pin members 6 engaged to the external gears 3a, 3b, 3c and transmitted to the output shaft 7 of the speed reducer 10. Therefore, the second member 9 (A1) is relatively pivoted with respect to the first member 8. Due to the foregoing, the robot structure in which a plurality of joint devices for connecting the adjoining links via the speed reducer are connected in series to each other can be simplified.

An eccentric-rotation type planetary differential reduction gear speed reducer (10) includes a cylindrical housing (14). The cylindrical housing (14) is fixed to a first member (3) constituting a link of a robot, and an output shaft (16) of the speed reducer (10) is fixed to a second member (4) constituting a link of the robot. An eccentric shaft (11) constituting an input shaft of the speed reducer (10) is coupled to a motor shaft (2) of a servo motor mounted on the first member (3). Splines are formed directly on the outer peripheral surface of the motor shaft (2) to form a spline shaft (5). The spline shaft is fitted into a spline hole formed in the eccentric shaft (11), so that the motor shaft (2) is directly coupled to the eccentric shaft (11).

The invention is directed to a method of controlling acceleration and deceleration time constants for a robot wherein the acceleration and deceleration time constants of a servo motor are each set at an optimum value based on the amount of movement, load, etc., thereby achieving a reduction in the operation time of the robot. The control method controls the operation of the robot while setting the acceleration and deceleration time constants at optimum values for each block instruction, and comprises the following five stages: the first stage comprising determining from the distance to the target position whether or not the speed will reach the taught speed (S1), setting the taught speed as velocity V if it is determined that the speed will reach the taught speed (S2), otherwise obtaining an ultimate velocity (S3) and setting the obtained ultimate velocity as velocity V (S4); the second stage comprising obtaining an output torque corresponding to the velocity V from a velocity-torque curve (S5); the third stage comprising obtaining an acceleration torque and a deceleration torque by subtracting a static load torque from the output torque (S6); the fourth stage comprising obtaining the magnitude of acceleration for acceleration and for deceleration (S7); and the fifth stage comprising obtaining an acceleration time constant and a deceleration time constant from the magnitudes of acceleration and the velocity V (S8), and then determining the largest acceleration time constant and largest deceleration time constant in absolute value terms or determining the optimum acceleration time constant and deceleration time constant for each individual axis (S9).

In an articulation system for a robot according to the present invention, an eccentric rocking type planetary gear speed reducing mechanism is used, but a two-stage speed reducing structure is not employed. Output of an acceleration sensor (11) attached to an output shaft (7) of a speed reducer (10) is passed through a band pass filter (12) to obtain a vibration component. Based on the obtained vibration component and the rotational phase of the motor detected by a pulse coder (13), a vibration suppression correction torque corresponding to the rotational phase of the motor is determined. The vibration suppression correction torque is added to the torque command Tc to correct the torque command and causes the motor (1) to operate in accordance with the corrected torque command. The vibration suppression correction torque is determined by learning processing and is updated until the vibration component is sufficiently reduced. When the vibration component has been sufficiently reduced, this updating operation is stopped, the vibration suppression correction torque is fixed. Further, the torque command is corrected, and operation of the motor (1) is controlled in accordance with the corrected torque command.

A spot welding system employing parallel link robots arranged densely with one another. When an arrival of a workpiece W being conveyed is detected by a camera CM, a frame moves along guides to start tracking of the workpiece, and a plurality of robots RB1-RB4, each having a parallel link with a plurality of expandable/retractable arms and a wrist mounted on a distal end of the parallel link, start operation. A plurality of points on the workpiece are welded by spot welding guns G1-G4 attached to the wrists of the respective robots. Proximal end portions of the expandable/retractable arms are swingably supported by an upright wall of the frame, and the respective robots are disposed so as to project from the frame. The parallel link robots may be suspended from the frame to be arranged densely.

A motor includes a shaft including upper and lower shaft members spaced axially away from each other. A shaft connecting member made of electrically insulating material is arranged axially between the upper and lower shaft members. The shaft connecting member is provided with fitting portions to which the upper and lower shaft members are to be fitted. While the upper and lower shaft members are secured to the shaft connecting member, the rotor magnet is integrally formed with the upper and lower shaft members and the shaft connecting member. With this configuration, an axial electric current is prevented from flowing through the shaft by the shaft connecting member.

Disclosed herein is an ink set for use in ink-jet recording, which comprises at least 2 ink compositions the solid content concentrations of which are different by more than 2% by mass. The at least 2 ink compositions each comprise an aqueous medium, a pigment and a dispersant for dispersing the pigment. The dispersant is an amphiphilic block copolymer having an A segment that is a hydrophobic segment, a B segment that is a nonionic hydrophilic segment, and a C segment that is an ionic hydrophilic segment. The number of unit structures of the B segment of the amphiphilic block copolymer contained in each of the at least 2 ink compositions is smaller in the amphiphilic block copolymer contained in the ink composition having a relatively high solid content concentration than in the amphiphilic block copolymer contained in the ink composition having a relatively low solid content concentration.
