[0002] In the process of automated machining, mechanical grippers are needed to automatically clamp the workpiece. Existing mechanical grippers usually use cylinder drive + lever mechanism to achieve automatic clamping of the workpiece, where the cylinder includes two-finger parallel cylinder, three-finger circular cylinder and four-finger circular cylinder, etc. Some also use electric clamping fixtures to clamp the workpiece. Of course, the greater the clamping force required, the larger the drive device such as the motor and cylinder that generates the power for clamping the workpiece needs to be.

Therefore, in processing projects, when the shape and size of the workpiece changes, it is necessary to replace the mechanical gripper of different types or models, and there are many models, so the selection is more troublesome.

[0028] like Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the slide 3 is provided with a slide groove 37 along its length direction, and the slide groove 37 is in an inverted T shape, and a slide seat 31 is slidably connected in the slide groove 37; a turntable 311 is rotatably connected to the slide seat 31, and the turntable 311 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 32, and the first clamping jaw 33 and the second clamping jaw 34 are respectively fixedly connected at both ends of the rotating frame 32, which are respectively used to grasp objects of different shapes, and the rotating frame 32 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the turntable 311, and the positions of the first clamping jaw 33 and the second clamping jaw 34 are exchanged, so as to adapt to grasping objects of different shapes; and a cylinder 35 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the slide 3 connected to the fixed seat 2, and when the cylinder 35 rotates, it can drive the slide 3 to rotate horizontally, thereby switching the grasping mode of the manipulator structure, and a driving ring 5 is connected to the fixed seat 2 to drive the cylinder 35 to rotate ; The driving ring 5 is arranged at the middle center position of the circle surrounded by the cylinders 35, and the circumference of the driving ring 5 is in contact with the circumference of the cylinders 35, and the driving ring 5 can slide up and down; the surface of the cylinder 35 is provided with a spiral groove 36, and the circumference of the driving ring 5 is provided with a plurality of sliding parts 51 which are slidably connected with the spiral groove 36. The sliding part 51 is a protruding cylindrical structure with a spherical end. When the driving ring 5 is lifted or lowered, the sliding part 51 slides in the spiral groove 36, and thus can simultaneously drive each cylinder 35 to rotate. When the cylinder 35 rotates, it drives the slide 3 to rotate. A second lifting cylinder 53 is fixedly installed on the manipulator disk 1 for driving the driving ring 5 to lift and lower, and the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the driving ring 5; the lifting and lowering of the driving ring 5 is controlled by the second lifting cylinder 53, thereby driving the slide 3 to rotate, and switching the grasping mode of the manipulator.

[0030] Preferably, the first clamping jaw 33 is a straight plate structure, which is convenient for grasping objects with straight surfaces, such as rectangular and block-shaped objects; the second clamping jaw 34 is a curved plate structure, which is convenient for grasping objects with curved surfaces, such as spherical and cylindrical objects. The curved surface structure increases the contact area with the curved surface object, and the clamping is more stable.
[0031] In specific implementation, the second lifting cylinder 53 drives the driving ring 5 to rise and fall, and the driving ring 5 drives the cylinder 35 to rotate when it rises and falls, and the cylinder 35 drives the slide 3 to rotate when it rotates, so as to adjust the relative position between the slides 3; when adjacent slides 3 are parallel to each other, adjacent first clamps 33 contact each other, such as Figure 1 As shown, the manipulator structure is in the first grasping mode at this time, and the lifting seat 4 is driven to rise and fall by the second lifting cylinder 53, thereby driving the slide 31 to slide along the slide groove 37.
