The upper clamping hand mounting plates will slide along the axial direction of the ball screw when the ball screw rotates. The bottom of the upper clamping hand mounting plate is fixedly connected to the inner support clamping mechanism.

The CCD camera assembly 2 detects the annular parts to be transported and identifies their specifications and positions. The system calculates and adjusts the clamping distance of the inner support gripper mechanism 4 based on the detection result of the CCD camera assembly 2. The clamping execution electric gripper drives the inner support gripper mechanism 4 to expand or contract to achieve the clamping of the annular parts to be transported. The distance sensor assembly 3 detects the clamping distance and feeds back the data to the system to ensure that the clamping action meets the set requirements. After successful clamping, the annular parts to be transported are transported to the target position through the truss system. After reaching the target position, the inner support gripper mechanism 4 releases the parts to complete the transport task and returns to the initial position to wait for the next instruction.

[0032] It is able to quickly adjust the clamping distance of the inner support clamping mechanism 4 according to the size of the product, and identify the product specifications and whether it is in the specified position through the CCD camera component 2, so as to stably carry heavy-loaded annular parts of different specifications, improve transportation efficiency and transmission safety, avoid the lack of adaptability of the clamping device to the parts, which may cause damage to the parts, make it difficult to accurately clamp and transport parts of multiple sizes, and cause inconvenience in clamping, resulting in low transportation efficiency.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The electric gripper body 1 includes an upper mounting plate 11, on which a motor position adjustment plate 12 is arranged, on which a servo motor 21 is arranged, and an output end of the servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to a reducer 22, and an output end of the reducer 22 is fixedly connected to a transmission mechanism, and a front mounting plate 18 and a rear mounting plate 10 are arranged on the front and rear sides of the upper mounting plate 11, and a gripper motor cover 16 and a sheet metal cover 20 are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper mounting plate 11, and the gripper motor cover 16 and the sheet metal cover 20 are used for heat dissipation protection of their respective motors, and a lower mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the front mounting plate 18 and the rear mounting plate 10, and a support platform for the gripper mechanism 4 is supported in the lower mounting plate 19, and a support platform for the gripper mechanism 4 is provided at the lower part thereof The movable groove facilitates the free movement of the gripper when gripping and releasing the annular parts to be transported, so as to adapt to parts of different specifications. The servo motor 21 drives the speed reduction and torque increase transmission mechanism of the reducer 22 to transmit power to the inner support gripper mechanism 4. The gripper opens and closes according to the instructions. Through the movable groove, the gripper of the inner support gripper mechanism 4 is moved to adapt to parts of different specifications. In addition, a motor mounting plate 17, a connecting plate 13, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 and a limiting plate 15 are arranged between the upper mounting plate 11 and the gripper motor cover 16. The connecting plate 13 is used to connect the motor position adjustment plate 12 and the limiting plate 15. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 can provide auxiliary functions such as guiding, positioning and supporting to ensure the accuracy and stability of assembly. The limiting plate 15 and the gripper motor cover 16 can protect the internal parts of the motor; guide the airflow to dissipate heat, prevent the motor from being damaged due to overheating, and improve the operating efficiency and stability of the motor; provide installation and support, and optimize the appearance of the device. The motor mounting plate 17 provides a stable fixed foundation for the motor to ensure that the motor will not be displaced or shaken during operation. On the other hand, it can play a certain role in shock absorption, reducing the impact of vibration on the motor itself and other components, and is used to fix the servo motor 21 to ensure the stability of the servo motor 21 installed on the motor position adjustment plate 12.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The transmission mechanism includes a transmission gear 23, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the reducer 22. The output end of the transmission gear 23 is fixedly connected to a ball screw 27. The ball screw 27 is rotatably connected between a screw fixing seat 24 and a screw support seat 30. The screw fixing seat 24 and the screw support seat 30 are arranged on the lower mounting plate 19. The upper two sides of the ball screw 27 are threadedly connected to an upper clamping mounting plate 34. The upper clamping mounting plate 34 is slidably connected to the linear slide rail 25 through a slider 26. The linear slide rail 25 is fixedly connected to the lower mounting plate 19. An inner support clamping mechanism 4 is arranged at the bottom of the upper clamping mounting plate 34. The inner support clamping mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the lower mounting plate 19. The transmission gear 23 and the output end of the reducer 22 are fixedly connected. Fixed connection, the reducer 22 reduces the rotation speed and increases the torque, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the inner support clamping mechanism 4, and the transmission gear 23 drives the ball screw 27 to rotate, and the rotational motion of the ball screw 27 is converted into the linear motion of the upper clamping mounting plate 34, and the threads on both sides of the ball screw 27 are respectively connected to the two upper clamping mounting plates 34, and the upper clamping mounting plates 34 will slide axially along the ball screw 27 when the ball screw 27 rotates, and the bottom of the upper clamping mounting plate 34 is fixedly connected to the inner support clamping mechanism 4, and as the upper clamping mounting plate 34 moves, the inner support clamping mechanism 4 moves accordingly, and by adjusting the rotation direction and displacement of the ball screw 27, the clamping spacing of the inner support clamping mechanism 4 can be automatically adjusted to meet the clamping requirements of annular parts of different specifications.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A limit block 29 and an anti-collision bolt 28 are arranged on the upper part of the screw support seat 30. The limit block 29 controls the travel range of the ball screw 27 to ensure the movement accuracy of the clamping hand and limits the movement of the internal support clamping mechanism 4 on the linear slide rail 25 not exceeding the travel range to improve stability. The anti-collision bolt 28 absorbs impact force, reduces mechanical damage, and improves overall safety and durability. The screw support seat 30 provides support to ensure the smooth rotation of the ball screw 27, and serves as a fixed base for the limit block 29 and the anti-collision bolt 28 to prevent the internal support clamping hand 38 of the product from moving beyond the travel range, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the system and avoiding damage caused by misoperation or system abnormality.

[0036] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The inner support clamping mechanism 4 includes a product inner support clamping hand 38, which is fixedly connected to the upper clamping hand mounting plate 34. The product inner support clamping hand 38 is provided with a diffuse reflection laser switch 35. If the target object is not detected, the diffuse reflection laser switch 35 can take measures such as adjusting the clamping hand position, alarming or suspending operation to avoid misoperation, dynamically adjust the clamping spacing of the product inner support clamping hand 38 to ensure that it can adapt to annular parts of different specifications, detect whether the target object is placed correctly, ensure the accuracy of the clamping process, avoid misoperation of the clamping hand, prevent the clamping hand from clamping in space when there is no target object, reduce equipment loss, and combine with the CCD camera component 2 to further improve the recognition accuracy of product specifications and positions, and achieve more precise clamping control. Combined with the ranging sensor component 3, the clamping force of the product inner support clamping hand 38 can be dynamically adjusted to make the handling process more stable and safe.

[0037] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The product's inner support clamp hands 38 are all provided with arc-shaped anti-skid pads 36. The product's inner support clamp hands 38 are I-shaped, have good bending resistance and stability, and the arc-shaped anti-skid pads 36 on their surfaces are made of rubber, polyurethane, ethylene propylene diene and other materials with good elasticity, wear resistance and anti-skid effects. They can better fit the shape of the product and improve the protection effect. At the same time, they have a long service life and ensure that they will not deform during clamping. They are suitable for high-load handling. The arc-shaped anti-skid pads 36 increase friction and fit, prevent parts from slipping, and improve clamping accuracy and stability. The elastic material reduces clamping damage, improves durability and long-term use performance, and makes the clamping process more reliable.

[0038] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The lower safety hook 37 is usually designed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the annular part to be transported, which can form a barrier when the annular part to be transported slides downward, thereby preventing accidents.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the CCD camera assembly 2 includes a camera connecting plate 5, which is fixedly connected to the camera connecting plate 5 on one side of the upper part of the electric gripper body 1. A camera fixing plate 6 is arranged on the upper part of the camera connecting plate 5, and a CCD camera 7 is arranged on the camera fixing plate 6. The camera connecting plate 5 is fixed to one side of the upper part of the electric gripper body 1 to provide stable support. The camera fixing plate 6 is installed on the camera connecting plate 5 to ensure the fixation and stable shooting of the CCD camera 7. The CCD camera 7 is responsible for capturing the image of the product to be clamped. The system analyzes the outer diameter, inner diameter, shape and other parameters of the product according to the image to identify its specifications. The specific process is as follows: The CCD camera 7 is installed on the upper part of the electric gripper body 1 to ensure that its field of view can cover the entire area of ​​the product to be clamped. When the equipment is started, the CCD camera 7 takes a picture of the target product and transmits the image data to the image processing system to pre-process the collected image; then edge detection is performed to obtain the contour information of the product, determine the geometric characteristics of the product, distinguish different types of annular parts, and calculate the outer diameter, inner diameter and other parameters of the product based on the extracted shape information. The product center offset is calculated to determine whether it is in the set clamping center position. If the product offset is too large, the system will prompt to adjust or refuse to perform the clamping operation. The calculated product size and position data are fed back to the system control unit, which can automatically adjust the clamping spacing of the clamp to ensure that it can adapt to products of different specifications and determine whether the product is in the specified position to avoid mis-clamping, offset or falling.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the distance sensor assembly 3 includes a sensor mounting plate 8 and two position sensing plates 31. A distance sensor 9 is arranged on the sensor mounting plate 8. The two position sensing plates 31 are respectively fixedly mounted on the left and right upper clamp mounting plates 34, and slide along the linear slide rail 25 with the upper clamp, and are located in the central area of ​​the product inner support clamp 38, aligned with the two position sensing plates 31. When the product inner support clamp 38 moves, the distance sensor 9 detects the relative distance between the two position sensing plates 31, and converts the distance into an electrical signal and feeds it back to the system. The system compares the target clamping distance to determine whether the requirement has been met. If the clamping spacing meets the set value, the product inner support clamp 38 stops moving and clamps. If the spacing does not meet the set value, the system adjusts the servo motor 21 to control the product inner support clamp 38 to continue moving until the set value is reached. It is used to detect the relative position of the product inner support clamp 38 in real time, and feed back the clamping spacing to the system to ensure accurate clamping of annular parts of different specifications.

[0041] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the distance measuring sensor assembly 3 also includes a sensor mounting base 33, and the sensor mounting base 33 is fixedly connected to the product inner support clamp 38. A photoelectric sensing switch 32 is arranged on the sensor mounting base 33, and the photoelectric sensing switch 32 is aimed at the clamping area of ​​the product inner support clamp 38. In the process of closing the product inner support clamp 38, the photoelectric sensing switch 32 detects the distance between the two product inner support clamps 38 and the annular parts to be clamped in real time, and controls the movement speed of the product inner support clamp 38 to ensure smooth and accurate clamping of parts of different specifications. Through the dual detection of the photoelectric sensing switch 32 and the distance measuring sensor 9, the clamping process is accurately controlled to ensure that the product inner support clamp 38 will not be clamped too loosely or too tightly, thereby improving the clamping stability and safety.
