[0024] Example 1, as Figures 1-6 As shown, a telescopic folding mechanical arm gripper comprises: a telescopic folding component, and a mechanical gripper base 1 arranged on the telescopic folding component, wherein the gripper assembly is driven and arranged on the mechanical gripper base 1.

[0025] Specifically, the telescopic folding assembly includes several layers of spaced connecting plates 14, with spacing areas reserved between the spaced connecting plates 14. Relatively arranged expansion and contraction plate assemblies are arranged in each layer of the spacing areas. The spaced connecting plates 14 are driven and connected through the expansion and contraction plate assemblies. The spacing between the spacing areas between the connecting plates 14 is adjusted by adjusting the opening and closing angles between the expansion and contraction plate assemblies to drive the mechanical gripper base 1 to achieve telescopic folding.

[0026] The deployment plate assembly includes a lower deployment plate 18 and an upper deployment plate 15, connected by a deployment servo, and an upper connecting plate 16 and a lower connecting plate 19, which are connected in an opening and closing manner. The other ends of the lower deployment plate 18 and the upper deployment plate 15 are respectively connected to the edges of the spaced-apart connecting plates 14. The deployment servo drives the lower deployment plate 18 and the upper deployment plate 15 to swing open and close, adjusting the spacing between the spaced-apart connecting plates 14. The opposing opening and closing edges of the lower deployment plate 18 and the upper deployment plate 15 are pivotally connected by the upper connecting plate 16 and the lower connecting plate 19, respectively. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 14 is a square plate; the lower expansion and retraction plate 18 is an upper trapezoidal plate, and the lower connecting plate 19 is a lower trapezoidal plate, and the short bottom side of the lower expansion and retraction plate 18 and the short bottom side of the lower connecting plate 19 are pivotally connected, and the long bottom side of the lower expansion and retraction plate 18 and the long bottom side of the lower connecting plate 19 are respectively connected to the side sides of the corresponding connecting plate 14; the upper connecting plate 16 is an upper triangular plate, and the lower connecting plate 19 is a lower triangular plate.

[0027] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a push-pull servo 10 arranged on a mechanical clamping base 1, and the push-pull servo 10 is driven and connected to a push-pull crank 11, and the push-pull crank 11 is connected to the driving pull rod of the clamping bracket 2 through a push-pull arm 12; the clamping bracket 2 is provided with a rotating servo 9 and a driving gear 7 and a clamping gear 8 driven and connected to the rotating servo 9; the clamping gear 8 is provided with a claw seat 6, and the claw seat 6 is connected to several groups of connecting rods 5 that can open and close relative to the central axis of the claw seat 6, and the end of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the clamping jaw 3, and the clamping jaw 3 and the connecting rod 5 are driven and connected to the driving pull rod of the clamping jaw bracket 2 through a triangular connecting rod 4. Among them, the triangular connecting rod 4 is hinged to one end of the driving rod of the clamping jaw bracket 2, the connecting rod 5 is hinged to the claw seat 6, the claw seat 6 is fixedly connected to the clamping jaw gear 8, the push-pull crank 11 is connected to the push-pull servo 10, and the push-pull arm 12 is hinged to the other end of the push-pull crank 11 and the driving rod of the clamping jaw bracket 2.

[0028] In the second embodiment, based on the first embodiment, the expansion and contraction plate components in the spacing areas between adjacent connecting plates 14 are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0029] Example 3: Further, based on Example 2, the force sensor model is the existing Tekscan FlexiForce A201 force sensor, which is installed on the inner side of the gripping surface of the embedded gripper 3. This embodiment is also provided with a depth camera corresponding to the telescopic folding robot arm gripper to capture the posture of the telescopic folding robot arm gripper. The depth camera model is an Intel RealSense D455 depth camera, which is installed on the lower side of the gripper base 1, with the lens axis forming a 15° depression angle with the centerline of the gripper 3.

[0030] Example 4, based on Example 1 or Example 2, a telescopic clamping method of a telescopic folding mechanical arm clamp is implemented using a telescopic folding mechanical arm clamp, comprising the following steps: By driving the expansion and contraction servos of the expansion and contraction plate assemblies in the telescopic and folding assembly, the opening and closing angles between the upper expansion and contraction plate 15 and the lower expansion and contraction plate 18 connected to the expansion and contraction servos are adjusted, thereby adjusting the telescopic configuration of the driven telescopic and folding assembly and driving the mechanical gripper base 1 connected to the telescopic and folding assembly to move to the desired position. Specifically, each layer of the telescopic and folding assembly includes a pair of oppositely disposed expansion and contraction plate assemblies, and the expansion and contraction servos in the oppositely disposed expansion and contraction plate assemblies are respectively a left servo 17 and a right servo 13; the rotating shaft of the left servo 17 is connected to the rotary pair, so that the left servo 17 is simultaneously connected to the upper expansion and contraction plate 15 and the lower expansion and contraction plate 18. By providing PWM signals to the left servo 17 and the right servo 13, respectively, the rotation angles of the left servo 17 and the right servo 13 are controlled, thereby controlling the opening and closing angles of the upper expansion and contraction plate 15 and the lower expansion and contraction plate 18.

[0031] The angle of the claw seat 6 is adjusted by driving the rotary servo 9 in the claw assembly on the mechanical gripper base 1, and the driving rod of the claw bracket 2 of the push-pull servo 10 is extended and retracted to drive the connecting rod 5, the triangular connecting rod 4, and the claw 3 to achieve the clamping and release of the claw assembly. Specifically, when the push-pull servo 10 drives the push-pull crank 11 to rotate clockwise, it drives the push-pull arm 12 to swing upward, causing the driving rod of the claw bracket 2 to move upward relative to the claw bracket 2, driving the triangular connecting rod 4 to rotate outward, thereby driving the claw 3 to open outward and achieve the grasping of the object; when the rotary servo 9 drives the driving gear 7 to rotate, it drives the claw gear 8 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the upper part of the telescopic folding mechanical arm claw to rotate together, achieving the adjustment of the horizontal angle of the claw 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the rotation angles of the left and right servos 17, 13 are equal to the change in the angle between the upper and lower expansion and retraction plates 15, 18. Telescopic Implementation: PWM signals simultaneously control the left and right servos 17, 13, controlling the angles of the two trapezoidal plates to change in unison, achieving folding and telescoping. Bending Implementation: PWM signals simultaneously control the left and right servos 17, 13. The left servo 17 reduces the angle between the two trapezoidal plates on the left, while the right servo 13 reduces the angle between the two trapezoidal plates on the left, thereby achieving left bending; right bending is achieved in the opposite direction; forward and backward bending is achieved on the folding unit in another dimension above or below, achieving 360° bending without dead angles. The upper and lower connecting plates 16, 19 provide auxiliary support during the movement of the robotic arm, sharing the load and improving the stability of the structure. PWM signals control the expansion and retraction servos (e.g., all servos from top to bottom) to change the same angle simultaneously, achieving rapid telescopic bending.

The specific coordinate axes are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the line connecting the center points of the connecting plates 14 of two adjacent square plates serves as the virtual connecting rod in the algorithm. All α angles (including α1, α2, α3, α4, etc.) are the angles between the z-axis of the connecting plates of the corresponding layer and the corresponding virtual connecting rod, and all l angles (including l1, l2, l3, l4, etc.) are the lengths of the corresponding virtual connecting rods.
