This invention discloses an end
effector for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising: a robotic gripper module, a motion drive module, and a
power output module. The motion drive module is connected to the robotic gripper module, and the motion drive module is also connected to the
power output module. The robotic gripper module includes a fixed base and multiple robotic
grippers. Each robotic gripper includes a rear gripper piece, a front gripper piece, and a connecting chain. The rear gripper piece and the front gripper piece are hinged together by a connecting pin to form a motion joint. A protective cover is provided outside the motion joint. The connecting chain sequentially connects the fixed base, the rear gripper piece, the motion joint, and the front gripper piece. The end
effector of this invention is lightweight and compact, allowing it to be mounted on a UAV. The encased shell greatly reduces interference, occupies little space, and is adaptable to various application environments. The robotic gripper of this invention utilizes the elastic
potential energy of a spring during retraction, requiring no
energy consumption and effectively extending the device's
operating time.
