Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for assembling a flexible ring-shaped workpiece to a device. According to some systems, each includes a robot; an apparatus adapted to be coupled to the robot via a coupling component for operating the workpiece or a part of the device; and a shaping plate adapted to receive at least a part of the workpiece which is moved by the apparatus to shape the workpiece into a predetermined shape. According to some apparatuses, each includes a first gripper adapted to be operated by the robot to grip the workpiece already shaped into the predetermined shape to allow the workpiece to be coupled to the device. With the apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a flexible ring-shaped workpiece such as a belt can be automatically assembled by a robot to various devices.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a robot. The robot comprises a joint housing and an internal engaging member arranged on an inner surface of the joint housing; a second arm link comprising a flange; and a moving assembly at least partially arranged in the joint housing and comprising an input shaft adapted to rotate about an axis of the input shaft; and at least one intermediate member coupled to the output flange and adapted to be driven by the input shaft to rotate while engaging with the internal engaging member, to cause a relative movement between the first and second arm links. By integrating the relative static parts of the gearbox, such as the joint housing and the output flange to the robot arm links, high connection strength of connections between robot arm links can be achieved in a more cost-efficient and space-saving manner.

Abstract: A housing for a plastic gearbox and associated plastic gearbox and a robot. The housing includes a body including an inner engaging portion circumferentially arranged on an inner surface of the body, the inner engaging portion adapted to be engaged with a transmission assembly of the plastic gearbox; and an adjusting mechanism arranged around the body and operable to squeeze the body inwardly to reduce an inner diameter of the body. By using the adjusting mechanism to squeeze the body of the housing inwardly, the fit error between the inner engaging portion and the transmission assembly can be compensated in an efficient way. Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism is a part of the housing and thus the body of the housing which is made of plastic does not need to be too thick, which makes injection molding easier and manufacturing precision improved.
