Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pneumatic grippers, and in particular relates to a crane pneumatic gripper with a convenient replacement structure. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, there is an unmanned bridge crane simulation test bench that can realize automatic trajectory planning (its structure is detailed in the appendix of the manual). Figure 5 ), the pneumatic gripper on it is fixed with bolts and needs to be connected to the bracket or crane with bolts. This requires that tools such as wrenches must be used to loosen or tighten the bolts when replacing the gripper, making the operation process cumbersome. Therefore, when different types of grippers need to be frequently replaced to adapt to different loads or working environments, there will be a long downtime, which not only affects work efficiency but also increases operating costs. Conventional coping methods include designing a quickly detachable gripper system, such as using quick connectors or snap-on devices, in an attempt to improve replacement efficiency and safety. However, although these methods simplify the operating process to a certain extent, they may also cause the connection between the gripper and the crane to be not firm enough, affecting the safety and stability of the gripper in heavy object handling. Therefore, we hope to design a pneumatic gripper with a new structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
