A robot quick-release assembly has a first joint member and a robot component mounted thereon, the first joint member has a first coupler and a second joint member, a robot arm mounted thereon has a second coupler, a clamp, and a locking collar. The first coupler can be coaxially aligned with the second coupler and pressed into the second joint member, and detachably connected to the second joint member. The first mechanical coupler is detachably connected to the second mechanical coupler for transferring power across the quick-release assembly. The robot component can receive an additional electrical connector, the additional electrical connector supplying power to the robot component. The quick-release assembly coupling assembly further exerts large forces with the application of a relatively small torque to the locking collar by applying a two stage wedge engagement and can further include a sequencing system.

Plant support with a novel connector
12016279 · 2024-06-25 ·

A connector assembly for a plant support structure comprising of a hub, a compressible sleeve and a second piece engaged with the hub is disclosed. The hub contains a pass through hole at the center to allow passage of a support member. It also contains receptacles perpendicular to the axis of the central pass through hole to receive the cross members of the plant support structure. The reversible engagement features utilized to secure hub to the second piece allow vertical repositioning of the cross members supporting multiple plants.

HOLE SAW AND COMPONENT THEREOF
20190151959 · 2019-05-23 ·

A hole saw component combinable with a saw blade detachably comprises an arbor assembly and a holder. The arbor assembly comprises a collar, a shank part, a movable member and at least one drive pin. The shank part is connected with the collar and comprises a plurality of positioning grooves. The movable member is sleeved on the shank part and is movable between different positioning grooves relative to the shank part. The drive pin is connected with and moved with the movable member. The holder forms a detachable engagement structure with the collar. When the movable member moves to different positioning grooves relative to the shank part, a combination status of the holder and/or the saw blade is changeable by moving the drive pin with the movable member, such that the arbor assembly or/and the saw blade is separable from or combinable with the holder.

Chucking device
10245650 · 2019-04-02 · ·

A chucking device for a tool includes a tool receiving element; a collet for clamping the tool, the collet being inserted in an opening in the tool receiving element; a clamping nut for axially displacing the collet in relation to the tool receiving element; and a pressure piece which is arranged between the clamping nut and the collet and is rotatably mounted in relation to the clamping nut, by means of which piece the collet can be axially displaced in relation to the tool receiving element by the clamping nut. To permit a tool shank to be securely clamped in and released from the collet, even under extremely high clamping forces, the pressure piece has coupling elements for a torsion-proof connection to corresponding mating elements of the tool receiving element.

Drill Bit with an Exchangeable Cutting Portion
