This utility model relates to the field of mechanical gripper technology, and provides a mechanical gripper structure that adapts to the outer
diameter of
drill rods and
drill collars. It includes a base, arms, a gate mechanism, and a push block. The arms are mounted on both sides of the base, with the ends furthest from the base serving as clamping ends, forming an entrance between them. The gate mechanism is rotatably mounted on the clamping ends of the arms. The two gate mechanisms can rotate to move closer together to block the entrance or move further apart to open the entrance without requiring the arms to open significantly. The push block is slidably mounted on the base, located at the end closest to the base. After sliding, the push block can push the
drill rod or drill collar located in the entrance, causing it to abut against the gate mechanism. An enclosing space is formed between the arms, the gate mechanism, and the push block. This technical solution solves the problem in the prior art where the overall size of the mechanical gripper increases significantly with the
opening action, occupying additional lateral space.
