Therefore, it is widely used in departments such as machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, electronics, light industry, and atomic energy.

[0003] A handling robot is composed of three major parts: an automated equipment chassis (carrying device), a robotic arm, and a gripper. When in use, first perform an initialization setting to check whether mechanical components (such as wheels and grippers) are normal, then configure its tasks, and then use the robotic arm and gripper to grip and transport materials.

[0004] During the handling process, due to the characteristics generated after the processing of some materials, such as plastic pipes, the outer walls of such materials are smooth, and in order to facilitate placement, multiple plastic pipes are bundled together.

Through the discharge box 13 arranged on the bottom plate 1, the materials during the clamping process are stored and received.

[0034] Refer to Figures 2 - 4 , two sections of threads are provided on the threaded rod 34, and the rotation directions of the two sections of threads are opposite. A balance rod 35 is fixedly arranged between the two brackets II 33, and the balance rod 35 is arranged parallel to the threaded rod 34. A threaded hole 44 matching the threaded rod 34 is opened on the slider 4. Through the two sections of threads with opposite rotation directions arranged on the threaded rod 34, when the servo motor 331 is started by the staff, the threaded rod 34 fixed on the output end of the servo motor 331 rotates. The rotating threaded rod 34 can drive the two sliders 4 to move towards each other at the same time. Then, through the balance rod 35 arranged between the two brackets II 33, it is ensured that the slider 4 will not deviate in position during the movement.

[0035] Refer to Figures 3 - 6 , a groove 422 is opened on the clamping arm I 42, and a threading hole 421 is opened at the end of the clamping arm I 42.

By arranging the shaft body 6 on the bracket three 5 and the cross plate 61 fixedly arranged on the shaft body 6, the materials placed horizontally during the clamping process are fixed. The anti-slip edges 621 arranged on the arc plate 62 increase the friction with the materials and improve the overall stability of the device.

By arranging the hook 431 on the clamping arm two 43, during the closing process of the clamping arm two 43, the hook 431 can pass through the groove 422 on the clamping arm one 42. At this time, the hanging opening 432 on the hook 431 can hook out the connecting silk thread 322 inside the clamping arm one 42.

[0042] The specific solution is as follows: When the staff uses the device, first move the device to a suitable position. The universal casters 11 provided at the bottom end of the base plate 1 facilitate the staff to control the movement of the device. Through the long plate 3 provided at the output end of the regulator two 22, when the staff starts the servo motor 331, the threaded rod 34 fixed to the output end of the servo motor 331 rotates. The rotating threaded rod 34 can drive the two sliders 4 to move towards each other at the same time. Then, through the balance rod 35 provided between the two brackets two 33, it is ensured that the sliders 4 will not deviate in position during the movement. At this time, the staff controls the bearing plate 31 to fit the material through the converter 221. At this time, the material squeezes the tooth plate 53 to move. When the tooth plate 53 moves, the gear 52 meshed with it rotates, and the clamping arm one 42 and the clamping arm two 43 rotate accordingly, so as to realize clamping and fixing of the material. When in the idle state, the tension spring can push the tooth plate 53 to move. The moving tooth plate 53 can keep the clamping arm one 42 and the clamping arm two 43 in the unfolded state. Through the hook 431 provided on the clamping arm two 43, during the closing process of the clamping arm two 43, the hook 431 can pass through the groove 422 on the clamping arm one 42. At this time, the hanging opening 432 on the hook 431 can hook out the connecting silk thread 322 inside the clamping arm one 42.
