Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Embodiment 1:

[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3A side plate 2 is provided on one side of the mounting frame 1, and a driving member 9 is provided on the other side of the mounting frame 1. A telescopic mechanism 8 is installed on the movable end below the driving member 9 (the telescopic mechanism 8 and the driving member 9 are telescopic devices such as electric telescopic rods, pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic rods), and a limit plate 12 is installed on the movable end of the telescopic mechanism 8; the driving member 9 moves the telescopic mechanism 8 and the limit plate 12 downward, moves the limit plate 12 to the side of the cargo, and then the telescopic mechanism 8 works to drive the limit plate 12 to move and fit the cargo, and cooperate with the side plate 2 to clamp the cargo, thereby increasing the stability when fixing the cargo.

[0027] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 A mounting groove 13 is provided through the side wall of the support member 4, and the extending direction of the mounting groove 13 is parallel to the transmission direction of the product; a fixing block 14 is slidably provided on one side of the inner cavity of the mounting groove 13, and an elastic element is installed between the mounting groove 13 and the fixing block 14, and a first magnet block 16 is provided on the other side of the inner cavity of the mounting groove 13, and a second magnet block 19 is provided on the side of the fixing block 14 away from the first magnet block 16, and the magnetic poles of the second magnet block 19 and the first magnet block 16 away from each other are opposite; a mounting hole is provided above the support member 4, and an extrusion member 15 is slidably provided in the inner cavity of the mounting hole (the extrusion member 15 can move up and down), and a spring member is provided between the mounting hole and the extrusion member 15.

[0028] In this embodiment, as a further optimized solution, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower part of the extrusion piece 15 is an arc surface, and the upper part of the side of the fixed block 14 facing the first magnet block 16 is an inclined surface; when the extrusion piece 15 moves downward to extrude the fixed block 14, it can push the fixed block 14 to move.

[0029] In summary, the working principle of the gripper mechanism is as follows: the gripper mechanism is moved to the transmission mechanism (the transmission mechanism refers to the equipment for transmitting goods), so that the support members 4 are respectively located between the adjacent conveying rollers of the transmission mechanism (the upper part of the support member 4 is lower than the upper part of the conveying roller); the transmission mechanism transmits the goods (the goods refer to the bundled cola), and moves the goods to the upper part of the support member 4; then the gripper mechanism moves upward, so that the support member 4 moves upward and contacts the lower part of the goods, lifts up the goods, and the telescopic member works to move the pressure plate 5 downward to press the goods; in this process, the goods are pressed on the extrusion member 15, so that the extrusion member 15 moves downward, contacts the fixed block 14, and squeezes it, driving the fixed block 14 to move upward. One end of the block 14 away from the first magnet block 16 is moved outward and inserted into the adjacent mounting groove 13, so that the second magnet block 19 fits and adsorbs the first magnet block 16 in the adjacent mounting groove 13, and the end of the fixed block 14 is fixed in the inner cavity of the adjacent mounting groove 13, thereby connecting the adjacent support members 4, which is used to increase the strength of the support members 4, reduce the probability of a large gap between adjacent support members 4, and avoid cola passing through the support members 4 due to the large spacing between the support members 4 (because the support members 4 need to be placed between adjacent conveying rollers, there is no connecting component between the adjacent support members 4, which easily causes the spacing between the support members 4 to increase when the support members 4 are squeezed).

[0030] In this embodiment, as a further optimized solution, Figure 5 As shown, the fixed block 14 includes a moving block 141, a movable block 143 and an elastic member 142. A mounting groove is provided on the side of the moving block 141 away from the first magnet block 16. The movable block 143 is slidably inserted in the inner cavity of the mounting groove. The moving path of the movable block 143 is the same as the moving path of the fixed block 14. The elastic member 142 is installed between the movable block 143 and the mounting groove; when the extrusion member 15 moves downward to squeeze the fixed block 14 so that the end of the fixed block 14 moves outward, when the second magnet block 19 and the first magnet block 16 are close to each other, the magnetic force generated between the two will pull the movable block 143 to move the movable block 143 to the outside of the mounting groove, so as to increase the overall length of the fixed block 14 and ensure that the fixed block 14 can be inserted into the adjacent mounting groove 13.

[0031] In this embodiment, as a further optimized solution, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an anti-sliding block 18 is provided on the extrusion member 15, and a slot 17 is provided above the support member 4, and the slot 17 is directly below the anti-sliding block 18; when the product is pressed on the top of the extrusion member 15 and the extrusion member 15 moves downward, the anti-sliding block 18 will be inserted into the inner cavity of the slot 17, and the extrusion member 15 will be fixed by the friction force between the anti-sliding block 18 and the slot 17; and the anti-sliding block 18 is made of rubber.

[0032] Embodiment 2:

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a blocking member 7 is provided on the side plate 2; when the conveying mechanism conveys the goods, when the goods move to the top of the support member 4, the goods will contact the blocking member 7, and the blocking member 7 is used to limit the further movement of the goods, ensuring that the goods will not move away from the top of the support member 4 or be misplaced, ensuring that the gripping mechanism can grab the goods normally.

[0034] In this embodiment, as a further optimized solution, Figure 2 As shown, the blocking member 7 includes a mounting plate 71, a movable plate 72 and a spring arranged between the mounting plate 71 and the movable plate 72; a touch switch is provided on the mounting plate 71, the touch switch is located between the mounting plate 71 and the movable plate 72, and the touch switch is electrically connected to the telescopic mechanism 8, the driving member 9, and the telescopic member; after the goods are blocked by the blocking member 7, the goods will squeeze the movable plate 72, so that the movable plate 72 moves closer to the mounting plate 71, squeezing the touch switch, which is used to control the telescopic mechanism 8, the driving member 9, and the telescopic member to power on and increase the automation level of the gripper mechanism; and the gripper mechanism is installed on the manipulator, which is used to drive the gripper mechanism to move, and after the touch switch is pressed, the manipulator will also work and move with the gripper mechanism.

[0035] In this embodiment, as a further optimized solution, Figure 2 As shown, a mounting member 10 is provided on the blocking member 7, and the mounting member 10 is slidably mounted on the side plate 2. The moving path of the mounting member 10 is consistent with the transmission direction of the product. A fixing bolt 11 is screwed on the mounting member 10, and the fastening end of the fixing bolt 11 passes through the mounting member 10 and fits with the side plate 2 to fix the mounting member 10; loosen the fixing bolt 11 and move the mounting member 10 to adjust the position of the blocking member 7, so that the position of the blocking member 7 to restrict the goods can be adjusted to meet different usage requirements.
