[0003] A common automatic replacement bracket for a robot end picker generally has the following defects during use:

[0004] First, a common automatic replacement bracket for a robot end picker is used. When the bracket of the robot needs to be replaced, the robot needs to be moved to a specific position. After the robot moves to the specific position, the robot bracket is replaced through manual operation.

[0005] Second: A common type of automatic replacement bracket for a robot end picker is used. When the robot replaces the bracket, the position of the bracket will be sent to one end due to the movement and operation of the robot, so that the bracket cannot be correctly installed at the characteristic position of the robot, and the robot bracket cannot be accurately installed;

[0031] What needs to be specially explained in this embodiment is: when the robot's bracket needs to be replaced, the robot needs to move to a specific position. As the robot moves, the detection rod 404 will monitor the robot's position. When the robot moves to a specific position, the detection rod 404 will send a signal to the sensor rod 405, and the sensor rod 405 will send a signal to the air pump 507. When the robot moves to the specific position, the bracket is automatically replaced, saving a lot of time.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The support plate 3 and the support rod 2 are arranged in a T-shaped structure, the four side walls between the support plate 2 and the base 1 are fixedly connected with wing plates, and the side wall between the support rod 3 and the support rod 2 is fixedly connected with two wing plates.

[0033] What needs to be particularly explained in this embodiment is that the support rod 2 is configured with a telescopic structure, which can change the height of the support plate 3, making it easy to replace the bracket for robots of different heights.
