    摘要: A tool changing device is described, which is provided with a male portion constrainable to a handler and a female portion constrainable to a tool to be handled and removably fittable on the male portion. Locking means are provided to lock the female portion on the male portion, and their respective actuator comprising an electric motor. The locking means are selectively movable between a locked position of the female portion and an unlocked position. Differently from conventional solutions, in the device according to the present invention advantageously the activation of the locking means is not assigned to the electric motor, on the contrary the latter has the task of only moving the locking means to the unlocked position; an elastic element is provided instead, which continuously applies a force holding the locking means in the locked position. The electric motor intervenes only to allow the female portion to be separated.

    摘要: A manual robotic tool changer includes a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism is activated by moving a lever between open (decoupled) and closed (coupled) positions. When the lever reaches the closed position, a safety latch automatically engages and prevents the lever from moving towards the open position. To open the lever, the safety latch is first activated to disengage, then the lever is moved to the open position. To virtually eliminate the possibility of both the safety latch being accidentally actuated, and the lever being accidentally moved towards the open position, these actions require the application of forces in substantially opposite directions. Accordingly, it is impossible that a single force, inadvertently applied to any part of the tool changer, could both actuate the safety latch and open the lever. In some embodiments, actuation of the safety latch and opening the lever are both easily performed with one hand.

    摘要: The present invention provides a low profile, compact, scalable concept end-effector for use in robotic handling applications. The end-effector acts as the interface between multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator and its base (if applicable), as well as the tools it handles and is compatible with both large manipulator systems such as the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS) and Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) and smaller dexterous manipulators such as the Orbital Express Dexterous Manipulator System. An active/controlled component is attached to the roll joint(s) at one or both end(s) of the manipulator, with an entirely passive component attached to the structure/tools that the manipulator interfaces with. Interface engagement and mate operations are performed by way of the manipulator roll joint. Once mated, shear pins are extended to lock the mated assembly in place and achieve a high stiffness, zero free play mated interface.
