Gadget Integration Structure System

This technology is a fastening mechanism that automatically connects and disconnects gadget modules and gadget control modules through physical contact and mechanical pressure with a magazine unit, without the need for an external power source. It includes a mechanism where the separation protrusion of the magazine unit presses the fastening unit of the gadget control module to release it from the locking part, while an attachment/detachment enhancement unit uses elastic force to facilitate the separation of the modules.

When replacing gadget assemblies attached to the end of a rescue robot's manipulator, existing methods require a separate power source for connection and disconnection, leading to complex structures, increased volume and weight, and higher production costs.

This technology implements a power-free connection/disconnection structure using a fastening unit (fastening member and elastic member) that interacts with protrusions on the magazine unit, a locking part on the bracket unit, and an attachment/detachment enhancement unit (pressure rod and pressure elastic member) that increases separation force. Applicable to industrial robots and automated systems, it eliminates the need for separate power sources for gadget module connection and disconnection, thereby improving the simplicity and cost-efficiency of the gadget integration structure.

Key Features:
  • The gadget control module features a fastening unit that is at least partially inserted into the gadget module when connected.
  • The gadget control module includes a control module housing that accommodates at least a portion of the fastening unit.
  • A gadget control module that connects to and disconnects from a gadget module.
  • The attachment/detachment enhancement unit facilitates the separation of the gadget module and the gadget control module by pushing the bracket unit away from the gadget control module once the connection between the fastening unit and the locking part is released.

This invention was developed with the support of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy for the development of safety-guaranteed soft manipulators and multi-functional gadget technology for rescue operations.
