Abstract

A multiaxial robot includes a first rotation module, a second rotation module, and a connecting member. The first rotation module includes a base and a plurality of arms. The arms are configured to rotate parallel to a first plane relative to the base. The second rotation module includes at least one wrist. The wrist is connected to the farthest arm arranged from the base in the first rotation module and configured to rotate parallel to a second plane relative to the first rotation module. The connecting member is pivotally connected to the base and connected to an adjacent one of the arms, or is connected between adjacent two of the arms and the wrist.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A multiaxial robot, comprising:
a first rotation module comprising:
a base; and
a plurality of arms configured to rotate parallel to a first plane relative to the base;

a second rotation module comprising at least one wrist, the wrist being connected to the farthest arm arranged from the base in the first rotation module and configured to rotate parallel to a second plane relative to the first rotation module; and
an elevator member pivotally connected to the base and connected to an adjacent one of the arms, the elevator member being configured to elevate components of the multiaxial robot arranged after the elevator member relative to the base in an elevating direction, wherein the elevator member comprises a cover, and a surrounding portion of the adjacent one of the arms surrounds the cover,
wherein the surrounding portion of the adjacent one of the arms is slidably connected to a first engaging portion of the elevator member via a second engaging portion of the adjacent one of the arms;
wherein the first engaging portion of the elevator member is disposed externally relative to the surrounding portion of the adjacent one of the arms.

2. The multiaxial robot of claim 1 , wherein the elevator member is pivotally connected to the base, and the arms comprises:
a first arm, an end of the first arm being slidably connected to the elevator member;
a second arm, an end of the second arm being pivotally connected to another end of the first arm; and
a third arm, an end of the third arm being pivotally connected to another end of the second arm, wherein the wrist is pivotally connected to another end of the third arm.

3. The multiaxial robot of claim 1 , wherein the second plane is substantially perpendicular to the first plane.

4. The multiaxial robot of claim 1 , wherein the elevating direction is substantially perpendicular to the first plane.

5. The multiaxial robot of claim 1 , wherein the second rotation module comprises:
a first wrist connected to the farthest arm arranged from the base in the first rotation module and configured to rotate parallel to the second plane relative to the first rotation module; and
a second wrist pivotally connected to the first wrist and configured to rotate parallel to a third plane relative to the first wrist.
