In this embodiment, the turntable drive shaft 4 is located in a central area of the receiving cavity, and the turntable drive motor 3 is located around the turntable drive shaft 4 to form a staggered arrangement in the receiving cavity of the base 1. The staggered arrangement of the turntable drive shaft 4 and the turntable drive motor 3 can reduce an overall height of the desktop robotic arm, thereby reducing a center of gravity of the desktop robotic arm and further ensuring that the desktop robotic arm will not shake or roll over when grabbing heavy objects. The turntable drive motor 3 can be mounted normally or upside down, which can be decided by those of skill in the art according to the actual situation, as long as the turntable drive motor 3 and the turntable drive shaft 4 are arranged in the base 1 in a staggered mode.

In this embodiment, the turntable drive shaft 4 is a hollow shaft, and wires of the desktop robotic arm are arranged through the turntable drive shaft 4. It can be understood that one end of the wire passing through the turntable drive shaft 4 is fixed in the base 1, and the other end is fixed on the turntable 2. When the turntable drive shaft 4 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, the wire fixed on the turntable 2 will also rotate. If the turntable 2 rotates continuously in a same direction, the wire will wind up in this rotation direction, and because the wire is fixed to the base 1 and a length of the wire is limited, the wire will be broken during the continuous rotation of the turntable 2 in the same direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the stop plate 10 for limiting a rotation angle of the turntable drive shaft 4 is arranged on the partition plate 11, the stop plate 10 is located in a circumferential direction of the turntable drive shaft 4, and the turntable drive shaft 4 or the turntable 2 is provided with the turntable limit post 20 for abutting against the stop plate 10, so as to limit the rotation angle of the turntable drive shaft 4 through an abutting fit between the turntable limit post 20 and the stop plate 10. Specifically, the stop plate 10 is located on a rear side of the turntable 2; and during the rotation of the turntable drive shaft 4, if the turntable limit post 20 makes contact with and abuts against the stop plate 10, the rotation in this direction will be stopped to avoid wire breakage.

In this embodiment, the fixation part is connected to the partition plate 11, and the limit part extending towards the turntable drive shaft 4 is connected to the fixation part, so that a rotation angle of the turntable 2 can be limited through an abutting fit between the limit part and the stop plate 10. Specifically, an end face, facing the turntable drive shaft 4, of the limit part is an arc surface, and the arc surface is matched with a circumferential arc surface of the turntable drive shaft 4 to avoid collision of the turntable drive shaft 4 during rotation. Optionally, according to the embodiment of the present invention, an included angle formed by extension lines of two side walls of the limit part is 5-60°. When the included angle is 5°, a rotation angle of the turntable drive shaft 4 is 177.5°, and when the included angle is 60°, the rotation angle of the turntable drive shaft 4 is 150°.

Moreover, the turntable drive shaft 4 is divided into the connecting section 43, the inserting section 42 and the supporting section 41 from bottom to top (that is, a diameter of the inserting section 42 is smaller than that of the supporting section 41, and a diameter of the connecting section 43 is optionally the same as that of the inserting section 42), the inserting section 42 can be inserted into the inner race of the thrust bearing 30, the connecting section 43 passes through the thrust bearing 30 to be drive-connected to the turntable secondary synchronous belt wheel 72, and an end, near the inserting section 42, of the supporting section 41 can abut against the upper edge of the inner race of the thrust bearing 30, so that the thrust bearing 30 can bear the weight of the turntable 2.

In a preferred embodiment, the thrust bearing 30 is a double-row angular contact bearing.
In this embodiment, optionally, the thrust bearing 30 is a double-row angular contact bearing. Because the double-row angular contact bearing only occupies a small axial space, a length of the turntable drive shaft 4 can be reduced, so that a height of the base 1 can be reduced.
