In this embodiment, one clamping cylinder 9 is movably connected to the same end of the four clamps 6, that is, one clamping cylinder 9 can control the movement of the four clamps 6 on one side of the base 1, and the two clamping cylinders 9 can jointly drive the eight clamps 6 to rotate to the side away from the product slot 5;

[0038] The number of the stripping rods 10, the elastic member 7 and the stripping rods 10 is the same, and eight stripping rods 10 are also provided. The eight stripping rods 10 slide through the base 1 and the insert block 4, and one insert block 4 corresponds to one stripping rod 10;

[0039] The stripping cylinder 11 is provided with one stripping cylinder 11, which drives eight stripping rods 10 to rise and fall and slide synchronously, and then the inductor 8-1 can be pushed down to be separated from the product slot 5 through the drive of the stripping cylinder 11.

[0040] like Figure 5As shown, each chuck 6 in this embodiment has an integrally formed clamping rod 12 and a connecting rod 13, the clamping rod 12 and the connecting rod 13 are distributed in an L shape, the right angle of the chuck 6 is rotatably connected to the chuck mounting groove 2 through a pin 14, and the clamping cylinder 9 is movably connected to the free end of the connecting rod 13. More specifically, in this embodiment, the lower end surface of the free end of the connecting rod 13 is provided with a movable groove 15, the telescopic shaft of the clamping cylinder 9 faces downward and is connected to a driving rod 16, the diameter of the driving rod 16 is smaller than the width of the movable groove 15, and the diameter of the driving rod 16 is much smaller than the width of the movable groove 15, so that the driving rod 16 is located in the movable groove 15 and can move back and forth in the movable groove 15.

[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0046] The gripper robot is driven by a three-axis servo module during movement. At this time, the eight stripping rods 10 are driven upward by the stripping cylinders 11. At this time, the bottom of the stripping rods 10 does not exceed the bottom of the base rod 3. An opening cylinder 9 is movably connected to the same end of the four chucks 6. The eight chucks 6 are forced to lean toward the side of the product slot 5 by the elastic force of eight elastic parts 7.

[0047] When the gripper manipulator moves to above the inductor 8-1, the clamping cylinder 9 drives the driving rod 16 to move upward, and the connecting rod 13 of the chuck 6 is forced to rotate upward to open the product slot 5. Then the three-axis servo module drives the gripper manipulator to move downward, and the top of the U-shaped groove of the inductor 8-1 is inserted into the outer side of the plug 4 along the guide slope 20. At this time, the left and right sides of the inductor 8-1 are clamped. After it is in place, the clamping cylinder 9 drives the driving rod 16 to move downward, and at the same time, the elastic force of the elastic member 7 forces the chuck 6 to lean against the side of the product slot 5. At this time, the front and back sides of the inductor 8-1 are clamped.

[0048] When the inductor 8-1 is taken out and driven to the unloading station by the three-axis servo module, the clamping cylinder 9 drives the clamping head 6 to rotate and open the product slot 5, and the elastic part 7 is compressed. Then, the stripping cylinder 11 drives the eight stripping rods 10 to move downward until the bottom of the stripping rod 10 exceeds the bottom of the base rod 3, and the eight inductors 8-1 are pushed down synchronously to be out of the product slot 5 to realize unloading.

When the product is a powder block 8-2, two plug blocks 4 are provided in this embodiment and are located on both sides of the powder block 8-2, that is, the left and right sides of the powder block 8-2 are connected by friction between the two plug blocks 4, and the stripping rod 10 passes between the two plug blocks 4. When the material is not stripped, the stripping rod 10 is located above the powder block 8-2. When the material is stripped, the stripping rod 10 is driven downward by the stripping cylinder 11 to separate the powder block 8-2 from the product slot 5.
