[0040]
[0041] In Embodiment Two, on the basis of Embodiment One, the expansion and contraction plate assemblies in the spacing areas between adjacent connecting plates 14 are staggered.
[0042] In Embodiment Three, further based on Embodiment Two, the force sensor model is Tekscan FlexiForce A201 force sensor in the prior art, which is installed on the inner side of the gripping surface of the embedded gripper 3. In this embodiment, a depth camera corresponding to the telescopic folding mechanical arm gripper is also provided, which is used to collect the posture of the telescopic folding mechanical arm gripper. The depth camera model is Intel RealSense D455 depth camera, which is installed below the side of the mechanical gripper base 1, and the lens axis is at an angle of 15° with the center line of the gripper 3.
[0043] In Embodiment Four, on the basis of Embodiment One or Embodiment Two, a telescopic clamping method of a telescopic folding mechanical arm gripper is realized, which comprises the following steps:
[0044] By driving the expansion and contraction rudders of the expansion and contraction plate assemblies in the telescopic folding assembly, the opening and closing angle between the upper expansion and contraction plate 15 and the lower expansion and contraction plate 18 connected by the expansion and contraction rudders is adjusted, and then the telescopic mode of the telescopic folding assembly is adjusted, and the mechanical gripper base 1 connected to the telescopic folding assembly is displaced to the required position. Specifically, each layer of the telescopic folding assembly comprises a pair of oppositely arranged expansion and contraction plate assemblies, and the expansion and contraction rudders in the oppositely arranged expansion and contraction plate assemblies are respectively left rudder 17 and right rudder 13. The rotating shaft of the left rudder 17 is connected with the rotating pair, so that the left rudder 17 is connected with the upper expansion and contraction plate 15 and the lower expansion and contraction plate 18 at the same time. By providing PWM signals to the left rudder 17 and the right rudder 13 respectively, the rotating angles of the left rudder 17 and the right rudder 13 are controlled, so as to control the opening and closing angle of the upper expansion and contraction plate 15 and the lower expansion and contraction plate 18.
[0045] By driving the rotating rudder 9 of the gripper assembly on the mechanical gripper base 1, the angle of the gripper base 6 is adjusted, and by driving the driving pull rod of the gripper support 2 of the push-pull rudder 10, the linkage of the connecting rod 5, the triangular connecting rod 4 and the gripper 3 is driven to realize the clamping and releasing of the gripper assembly. Specifically, when the push-pull rudder 10 drives the push-pull crank 11 to rotate clockwise, the push-pull arm 12 swings upward, the driving pull rod of the gripper support 2 moves upward relative to the gripper support 2, the triangular connecting rod 4 rotates outward, and thus the gripper 3 is opened outward to realize the gripping of the object; when the rotating rudder 9 drives the driving gear 7 to rotate, the driven gear 8 rotates synchronously, and thus the upper part of the telescopic folding mechanical arm gripper rotates together to realize the adjustment of the horizontal angle of the gripper 3.
[0046] Further, the rotation angle of the left steering machine 17 and the right steering machine 13 is equal to the angle change of the included angle between the upper folding plate 15 and the lower folding plate 18. The stretching and folding is realized by that the PWM signal controls the left steering machine 17 and the right steering machine 13 simultaneously, and controls the included angle of the two trapezoidal plates to be consistent and change consistently. The bending is realized by that the PWM signal controls the left steering machine 17 and the right steering machine 13 simultaneously, the left steering machine 17 makes the included angle of the two trapezoidal plates on the left side decrease, and the right steering machine 13 makes the included angle of the two trapezoidal plates on the left side decrease, so as to realize the left bending; the right bending is opposite; the front and back bending is realized on the folding unit in the other dimension on the upper or lower side, so as to achieve 360° bending without dead angle. The upper connecting plate 16 and the lower connecting plate 19 assist in supporting in the movement process of the mechanical arm, share the stress, and improve the stability of the structure. The stretching and folding is realized by that the PWM signal controls the folding machines (such as all the folding machines from top to bottom) to change simultaneously by the same angle.
