(A) Embodiment 1 The configuration of Embodiment 1 of a robot hand according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
It shows in (a). The hand 1 of the robot includes a mounting portion 20 as a base, a motor 21 with a reduction gear attached to the mounting portion 20, and a drive shaft 21 of the motor 21 with a reduction gear.
a, a lever 22 attached to a, a motor 23 with a reducer attached to the tip of the lever 22, and a lever 24 attached to a drive shaft 23a of the motor 23 with a reducer.
And a motor 25 with a reducer attached to the tip of the lever 24, and a support portion 26 attached to a drive shaft 25a of the motor 25 with a reducer. Then, the grinder 2 having the grindstone 2a is attached below the support portion 26. Here, the angle formed by the drive shafts 21a and 23a,
The angle formed by the drive shafts 23a and 25a and the angle formed by the drive shaft 25a and the grindstone 2a are both 45 degrees.

Next, the operation of the robot hand will be described. As shown in FIG. 1A, a fourth shaft that is the shaft center of the drive shaft 21a, a fifth shaft that is the shaft core of the drive shaft 23a, and the drive shaft 2
Since the sixth axis, which is the axis of 5a, passes through the processing point P, which is the point at which the grindstone 2a and the workpiece (not shown) come into contact with each other, the grindstone 2a receives a reaction force from the workpiece during machining of the workpiece. However, since the distance R from the 4th, 5th and 6th axes to the machining point is zero, no reaction moment is applied to the motors 21, 23 and 25 with reduction gears. Therefore, a motor with a reduction gear having a small capacity is sufficient. Further, since the load inertia is small, the drive shafts 4, 5, 6 are accelerated and decelerated quickly.

Since the axis and the surface of the grindstone 2a form 45 °,
As shown in (b), the maximum occurs when the grindstone 2a comes to the position of 135 ° to the right from the fourth axis in the figure, and the grindstone 2a can also move within the range of 270 ° at the maximum because there is also the left side.

Next, the operation of the robot hand will be described. The movement range of the robot hand will be described with reference to FIG. 2 (b). As shown in the figure, the fourth axis and the fifth axis form 60 °, and the fifth axis and the sixth axis form 60 °. None, since the 6th axis and the surface of the grindstone 2a form 60 °, it becomes the maximum when the grindstone 2a is positioned 180 ° to the right of the 4th axis in the figure as shown in FIG. 2 (b). , There is also a left side, so whetstone 2
a can move up to 360 °. By increasing the angle formed by the fourth axis and the fifth axis in this way, it is possible to widen the range in which the grindstone 2a can move. However, if this angle is too large, the robot's hand will touch the workpiece. The chances of collision and interference increase.

As can be seen from the above description, with the robot hand according to the present invention, the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis all pass through the machining point which is the contact point between the workpiece and the tool. As a result, even if the tool receives a reaction force from the workpiece during machining of the workpiece, the distance from the first axis, second axis, and third axis to the machining point is zero. No reaction force moment is applied, and the attachment angle of the tool with respect to the robot's hand does not change due to the reaction force. For this reason, the driving means having a small capacity is sufficient.
