Abstract

The disclosure provides a limit device and a robot using the same. The limit device comprises a first connecting member, a transmission rod and a second connecting member. The first connecting member comprising a first main body portion and two first connecting elements. The two first connecting elements are arranged at intervals. The two first connecting elements are respectively connected to the first main body. The transmission rod comprising a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end are arranged at intervals. The first end penetrates through one of the two first connecting elements. The second end penetrates through the other one of the two first connecting element. The second connecting member provided with two indexing buckles. The two indexing buckles are arranged at intervals, each of the indexing buckles comprises a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A limit device for supporting a battery in robot
a first connecting member comprising a first main body portion and two first connecting elements, wherein the two first connecting elements are arranged at intervals, and the two first connecting elements are respectively connected to the first main body, the first main body portion comprises a first element, a second element, and a buffer element, the buffer element is arranged on a side of the first element away from the first connecting element, the second element is arranged on a side of the first element away from the buffer element, and the two first connecting elements are arranged on opposite sides of the first element;
a transmission rod comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are arranged at intervals, and the first end penetrates through one of the two first connecting elements, the second end penetrates through the other one of the two first connecting element; and
a second connecting member provided with two indexing buckles, wherein the two indexing buckles are arranged at intervals, each of the two indexing buckles comprises a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove, the first end extends into one of the two indexing buckles, and the second end extends into the other one of the two indexing buckles;
wherein the limiting device comprises a stopping state and a non-stop state; when the limiting device is in the stopping state, the first end and the second end are respectively arranged on the two first limiting grooves, the first main body is located at a first position; when the limiting device is in the non-stop state, the first end and the second end are respectively arranged at the two second limiting grooves, the first main body is in a second position.

2. The limiting device of claim 1 , wherein the limiting device further comprises a third connecting member, the second connecting member is connected to the third connecting member, and the first connecting member is arranged on a side of the second connecting member away from the third connecting member.

3. The limiting device of claim 2 , wherein the second connecting member comprises a second main body portion and a second connecting element, and the two second connecting elements are arranged on opposite ends of the second main body, each of the two indexing buckles is arranged on one of the two second connecting elements.

4. The limiting device of claim 3 , wherein the two first connecting elements are arranged between the two second connecting elements.

5. The limiting device of claim 3 , wherein the second connecting element is connected to the third connecting member, and a length of the first main body portion is greater than a length of the second main body portion.

6. The limiting device of claim 1 , wherein the second element is movably connected to the first element.

7. The limiting device of claim 1 , wherein the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are formed by extending a space in the indexing buckle in two different directions, the first limiting groove is arranged along a first direction, and the second limiting groove is arranged along a second direction.

8. The limiting device of claim 7 , wherein in the second direction, a width of the first connecting member is less than a distance between an apex of the second limiting groove and an edge of the indexing buckle.
