[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0019] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an industrial robot manipulator that is easy to control includes a lifting device 1 and a base 2. The base 2 is installed at the lower end of the lifting device 1.

[0020] The base 2 is arc-shaped, and the notch faces downward. A convex block 3 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the lower side surface of the base 2. A pressure sensor is installed on the convex block 3.

[0021] A plurality of clamping assemblies are provided at both ends of the lower side of the base 2. In the present embodiment, there are four clamping assemblies, and two clamping assemblies are provided at each end of the base 2. The clamping assembly cooperates with the base 2 to clamp the tubular cargo 13. The clamping assembly includes a fixed seat 11 and a clamping member. The fixed seat 11 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the base 2. Specifically, a mounting groove is provided at the lower end of the base 2, and a motor 10 is fixedly provided in the mounting groove, and the axis of the motor shaft of the motor 10 is horizontally provided. The fixed seat 11 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the motor 10. A rotation groove is provided on the fixed seat 11, and the axis of the rotation groove is perpendicular to the axis of the motor shaft of the motor 10. A limiting groove 12 is symmetrically provided in the rotation groove. The limiting groove 12 is in the shape of an arc. A shaft rod 8 is fixedly provided at one end of the clamping member, and a limiting block 9 is symmetrically fixed on the shaft rod 8. The limiting block 9 corresponds to the limiting groove 12 one by one. The shaft rod 8 is rotatably provided in the rotation groove, and the limiting block 9 is located in the corresponding limiting groove 12. The limiting block 9 is slidably matched with the limiting groove 12. A torsion spring is sleeved on the shaft rod 8, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the shaft rod 8.

[0022] For the convenience of description, the four clamping assemblies are named as the first clamping assembly, the second clamping assembly, the third clamping assembly, and the fourth clamping assembly. Figure 3 In the direction shown, the first clamping assembly is located at the left front, the second clamping assembly is located at the right front, the third clamping assembly is located at the left rear, and the fourth clamping assembly is located at the right rear. The first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are symmetrically arranged, and the third clamping assembly and the fourth clamping assembly are symmetrically arranged. The clamping member in the first clamping assembly is the first clamping jaw 4, the clamping member in the second clamping assembly is the second clamping jaw 5, the clamping member in the third clamping assembly is the third clamping jaw 6, and the clamping member in the fourth clamping assembly is the fourth clamping jaw 7. The first clamping jaw 4, the second clamping jaw 5, the third clamping jaw 6, and the fourth clamping jaw 7 are all arc rods with the same shape.

[0023] The device also includes a controller, and the pressure sensor and the plurality of motors 10 are all electrically connected to the controller. The pressure sensor transmits the pressure value to the controller, and when the controller detects that the pressure value of the pressure sensor reaches a preset value, the controller stops the motor 10 from working.

[0024] Working principle: In the initial state, the first clamping jaw 4, the second clamping jaw 5, the third clamping jaw 6, and the fourth clamping jaw 7 are all located directly above the corresponding fixing seat 11. Figure 3As shown, the limit block 9 is located at one end of the limit groove 12. The torsion spring is in a natural state. In the initial state, in the first clamping assembly and the fourth clamping assembly, the limit block 9 can only rotate counterclockwise around the shaft 8. In the second clamping assembly and the third clamping assembly, the limit block 9 can only rotate clockwise around the shaft 8.

[0025] The base 2 is placed on the tubular cargo 13 by the lifting device 1. The first clamping assembly, the third clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly, the fourth clamping assembly are arranged on both sides above the tubular cargo 13.

[0026] Multiple motors 10 are started at the same time. The motor 10 drives the fixed seat 11 to rotate around the motor shaft of the motor 10. The fixed seat 11 drives the corresponding clamping member to rotate around the motor shaft of the motor 10. At this time, the clamping member is located above the fixed seat 11, and each clamping member moves in the direction away from the clamping member on the same side. Assume that the rotation direction of the motor 10 is positive at this time. During the rotation of the clamping member around the motor shaft of the corresponding motor 10, the clamping member moves along the outer surface of the tubular cargo 13. Due to the friction between the clamping member and the tubular cargo 13, under the guidance of the outer surface of the tubular cargo 13, the clamping member rotates around the axis of the corresponding shaft rod 8 while rotating around the motor shaft of the corresponding motor 10, so that the clamping member rolls on the outer surface of the tubular cargo 13. The limit block 9 on the shaft rod 8 moves in the corresponding limit groove 12. The corresponding torsion spring is torsionally deformed.

[0027] Specifically, the clamping members in the first clamping assembly and the fourth clamping assembly rotate counterclockwise, and the clamping members in the second clamping assembly and the third clamping assembly rotate clockwise.

[0028] When the fixing seat 11 rotates 180 degrees, the clamping piece moves to the bottom of the tubular cargo 13, and the motor 10 is stopped. The torsion spring is reset under the action of its own elastic force, and the torsion spring drives the clamping piece to rotate around the corresponding shaft 8, so that the torsion spring returns to the natural state, and the limit block 9 returns to the initial position relative to the limit groove 12.

[0029] When the clamping member is located above the fixing seat 11, the motor 10 rotates forward, causing the clamping members on the same side to move away from each other. When the clamping member is located below the fixing seat 11, the motor 10 rotates forward, causing the clamping members on the same side to move toward each other.

[0030] Therefore, the motor 10 rotates in the reverse direction, and the motor 10 drives the clamping member to rotate in the reverse direction. Since the clamping member is located below the fixing seat 11 at this time, the clamping member moves in a direction away from the clamping member on the same side.

[0031] In this process, in the first clamping assembly and the fourth clamping assembly, the shaft 8 has a tendency to rotate clockwise, but due to the limiting effect of the limiting groove 12 on the limiting block 9, the clamping member cannot rotate clockwise around the axis of the shaft 8. In the second clamping assembly and the third clamping assembly, the shaft 8 has a tendency to rotate counterclockwise, but due to the limiting effect of the limiting groove 12 on the limiting block 9, the clamping member cannot rotate counterclockwise around the axis of the shaft 8. In this way, when the clamping member rotates around the motor shaft of the motor 10, it has the effect of squeezing the tubular cargo 13 upward. Multiple clamping members squeeze the tubular cargo 13 upward, causing the tubular cargo 13 to move upward, and gradually increasing the pressure on the pressure sensor on the protrusion 3. When the reading of the pressure sensor reaches the preset value, the controller controls the motor 10 to stop working. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the plurality of clamping assemblies are in the second state. The tubular cargo 13 is located between the plurality of clamping assemblies and the base 2. The plurality of clamping assemblies and the base 2 clamp the tubular cargo 13 and have a preset clamping force on the tubular cargo 13. In this way, the clamping assemblies can support a larger range of the tubular cargo 13 in the length direction, making the tubular cargo 13 more stable when clamped and not easy to fall. At the same time, the tubular cargo 13 is subjected to a certain clamping force, which further makes the clamping effect of the clamping assemblies on the tubular cargo 13 better, making the tubular cargo 13 more stable and not easy to fall.

[0032] Then the lifting device 1 drives the tubular cargo 13 to move through the base 2 and the clamping assembly, and moves the tubular cargo 13 to the destination.

[0033] When the clamping of the tubular cargo 13 needs to be released, the motor 10 is started, and the motor 10 drives the clamping member to rotate around the motor shaft of the motor 10, so that the clamping member moves to the initial position, and then the motor 10 is turned off. The clamping assembly releases the clamping of the tubular cargo 13.

[0034] The manipulator has a simple and compact structure and occupies little space when in use, and is suitable for working in narrow spaces.

[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
