Wrist device of robot

Claim 2

In a wrist device of a robot which is attached to a front end of an arm as a base portion and which includes a wrist portion having three degrees of rotating freedom orthogonal to one another; a wrist device of a robot characterized by comprising driving motors which are mounted on a rear end of said arm through a motor holding frame, a coaxial driving mechanism which is disposed in said motor holding frame and which transmits power of said driving motors between parallel shafts, and arm power transmission means constructed of a first transmission shaft being a main shaft and a second and third transmission shafts which are divided and journaled in bearings between a plurality of flanges circumferentially provided at an outer periphery of said first transmission shaft and which are connected and formed by shaft couplings, for transmitting power from said coaxial driving mechanism to said wrist portion, said wrist portion being provided with wrist power transmission means and speed reducers for realizing two frontward ones of said three degrees of rotating freedom.

Claim 3

A wrist device of a robot as defined in claim 1, wherein said first transmission shaft is a rotating transmission shaft.

Claim 4

A wrist device of a robot as defined in claim 1, wherein openings are provided in parts of said arm at which said second and third transmission shafts are divided and journaled in bearings.

Claim 5

A wrist device of a robot which is attached to a front end of an arm as a base portion and which includes a wrist portion having three degrees of rotating freedom orthogonal to one another, comprising driving motors which are mounted on a rear end of said arm through a motor holding frame, a coaxial driving mechanism which is disposed in said motor holding frame and which transmits power of said driving motor between non-coaxial parallel shafts, and arm power transmission means constructed of a first transmission shaft being a main shaft and second and third transmission shafts which are arranged exteriorily of said first transmission shaft, for transmitting power from said coaxial mechanism to said wrist portion being provided with universal joints which transmit power from said second and third transmission shafts through meshing gears to corresponding speed reducers in the immediate vicinity of the degrees of rotating freedom.
