[0033] The following will combine Figures 1-8 A detailed description of a file-grabbing robot according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided.

[0034] Example 1: Example 1 of this application discloses a file-grabbing robot. (Reference) Figures 1-8 The system includes a base plate 7, a support plate 6 fixed on the top surface of the base plate 7, an adjustment component 1 for adjusting the position of the robot on the surface of the support plate 6, and the adjustment component 1 is movably connected to the support plate 6.

Then, under the action of the clamping component 2, the file will move into the mounting frame 11. Then, under the action of the lifting motor 3 and the rodless cylinder 8, the file will move to the corresponding height and horizontal position, making it easy to retrieve the file.

[0036] The clamping assembly 2 includes a clamping plate 203, which is axially symmetrical about the mounting frame 11. A bidirectional lead screw 204 is provided in the mounting frame 11, and the bidirectional lead screw 204 is threadedly connected to the clamping plate 203. An adjusting motor 201 is fixed to one end of each bidirectional lead screw 204. A positioning plate 202 is provided on the inner side of the clamping plate 203, and the positioning plate 202 is movably connected to the clamping plate 203. A first extension groove 205 is formed on the inner side of the clamping plate 203, and a second extension groove 211 is formed on the surface of the positioning plate 202. A first extension lead screw 214 is provided in the first extension groove 205, and a second extension lead screw 215 is provided in the second extension groove 211. A first extension motor 212 is fixed to one end of the first extension lead screw 214, and a second extension motor 215 is fixed to one end of the second extension lead screw 215.

An electric telescopic rod 207 is fixed in the adjustment cavity 216, and one end of the electric telescopic rod 207 is movably connected to the limiting block 206.

[0037] Specifically, in clamping assembly 2, driven by adjusting motor 201, bidirectional lead screw 204 adjusts the spacing of clamping plate 203, allowing clamping of files of different thicknesses. An adjusting cavity 216 is provided in positioning plate 202 inside clamping plate 203. When positioning block is inserted into the file, limiting block 206 retracts into movable slot 209. Electric telescopic rod 207 in adjusting cavity 216 can push limiting block 206 out of movable slot 209, preventing the file from sliding between positioning plates 202.

[0038] The implementation principle of the file-grabbing robot in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: In the clamping assembly 2, driven by the adjusting motor 201, the bidirectional lead screw 204 will adjust the spacing of the clamping plate 203, which can clamp files of different thicknesses. Furthermore, an adjusting cavity 216 is provided in the positioning plate 202 inside the clamping plate 203. When the positioning block is inserted into the file, the limiting block 206 will retract into the movable slot 209.

The design prevents the files from sliding between the positioning plates 202. This design allows the robot to avoid damage and slippage when picking up files, improving the efficiency of file retrieval. The robot is placed in front of the file rack via the base plate 7 and the support plate 6. When it is necessary to place the file on the file rack, the file is first placed in the placement slot on the support plate 6. Then, under the action of the clamping component 2, the file will move into the mounting frame 11. Then, under the action of the lifting motor 3 and the rodless cylinder 8, the file will move to the corresponding height and horizontal position, making it easy to pick up the file.
