[0044] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 As another preferred embodiment of the present application, the center of gravity adjustment assembly includes an installation side plate 4, a weight adjustment plate 5, an energy supply box 6, an arc rod 8, an inflation unit and a hollow arc tube 7. The installation side plate 4 is arranged on the active arm 3, one end of the weight adjustment plate 5 is hinged on the installation side plate 4, the energy supply box 6 is arranged on the weight adjustment plate 5, the hollow arc tube 7 is arranged on the installation side plate 4, one end of the arc rod 8 is slidably inserted in the hollow arc tube 7, and the other end is connected to the weight adjustment plate 5.

[0047] How this application works:

[0048] By controlling the first electric telescopic rod 36 to be powered on and extended, the first connecting head 11 can be driven to move in the vertical direction. Under the action of the first push rod 12, the driven arm 9 can be driven to rotate along its hinge, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle between the active arm 3 and the driven arm 9. By controlling the second electric telescopic rod 14 to be powered on and extended, the second connecting head 15 can be driven to move along the driven arm 9, so that under the action of the second push arm 32, the support platform 30 can be driven to rotate relative to the driven arm 9, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle between the support platform 30 and the driven arm 9 in the chassis, so that the shoveling plate 19 and the plate to be transported are at the same height and parallel. By controlling the stepping motor 22 to be powered on and rotated, the threaded rod 21 is driven to rotate, so that the shoveling part 2 0, the shovel plate 19 scoops up the plate and is at the bottom of the plate until the surface of the shovel plate 19 completely supports the plate. At this time, the air in the first cavity is extracted by the air pump 27, thereby driving the second piston rod 29 to move relative to the air extraction pipe 28, so that under the action of the connecting plate 23 and the connecting arm, the clamping lower plate 17 can be driven to rotate along its hinge, thereby lifting the plate and clamping it between the clamping upper plate 16 and the clamping lower plate 17. When the second piston rod 29 moves, the air in the negative pressure tube 31 can be sucked into the air extraction pipe 28, so that the first piston rod 25 and the limiting plate 24 move toward each other, thereby realizing the limiting work of the plate, so that the plate is in the middle position between the clamping upper plate 16 and the clamping lower plate 17. When the driven arm 9 is controlled to rotate relative to the active arm 3 along its hinge, the angle between the driven arm 9 and the active arm 3 changes. For example, the entire grasping structure moves toward Figure 1 When it is tilted to the right in the direction shown, under the action of the pulling arm, the sliding seat 34 can be driven to move along the sliding groove 35. When the sliding seat 34 moves, it can drive the vacuum cylinder 33 to work and squeeze the air in the vacuum cylinder 33 into the hollow arc tube 7, driving the arc rod 8 to move relative to the hollow arc tube 7, so that the weight adjustment plate 5 rotates a certain angle and the rotation direction is opposite to the direction of the grasping structure, so as to adjust the center of gravity of the entire manipulator, and avoid the pressure at the connection between the base 1 and the supporting surface caused by the forward tilt of the grasping structure, which causes the center of gravity of the entire device to move forward.
