Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electric gripper technology, specifically, it is an environmentally resistant, extended-stroke, multi-finger electric precision rotary gripper. Background Technology
[0002] Existing multi-finger gripping technologies suffer from adaptability limitations. While the layout of a motor, slip ring, and control unit enables the rotation and clamping functions of a two-finger electric gripper, it suffers from fundamental design limitations in multi-finger gripping scenarios with three or more fingers. For example, a patented rotating gripper (application number: 202111291241.2) cleverly arranges its motor, slip ring, and control unit to allow the rotating gripper to not only hold the target object but also rotate it infinitely or quantitatively. The slip ring prevents wire tangling during operation. However, this invention is suitable for two-finger grippers but not for three-, four-, or more-finger grippers. When more fingers are needed, such as three-finger self-centering gripping or four-finger gripping of workpieces in confined spaces or with varying cross-sectional lengths and widths to meet precision gripping requirements, this structure lacks environmental resistance and cannot be used in harsh environments.
[0003] The existing technology has the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1) The gear base described in the patent (application number: 202111291241.2) has a hollow through hole. The rotating shaft of the first driver passes through the through hole and is connected to the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly is disposed on the gear base, which has a limiting seat and a limiting groove. The clamping assembly is disposed within the limiting groove. With this technical solution, it is obvious that if there are impurities in the external environment, such as water or dust, they will enter the interior of the gear base through the meshing gap of the clamping assembly, and then pass through the through hole of the gear base into the interior of the driver, thereby affecting the internal working environment and easily causing the electric gripper to fail.
[0005] 2) The clamping component described in the patent (application number: 202111291241.2) is in the form of a gear and rack. If it were made with three, four, or more fingers, it would require a larger storage space or the fingers would need to be made smaller, making it impossible to simultaneously meet the requirements of high load, long stroke, and compact structure. Furthermore, the gear and rack require precise matching, making it difficult to achieve high-precision synchronous clamping. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1) The innovative structural design of the large-stroke umbrella head and the slider breaks through the performance bottleneck and strengthens the core bearing capacity. The present application fundamentally solves the limitations of traditional clamping jaws in terms of stroke, torque, bearing capacity and anti-overturning capacity through the multi-finger design of the large-stroke umbrella head and the large-stroke slider, combined with the structural innovation of the "cross" cross-section slider and the "factory" elongated slope umbrella push rod. The unique design of the "cross" cross-section slider significantly expands the contact area. Compared with the single contact surface of the traditional slider, the cross-type stress structure makes the force distribution more uniform. It not only can withstand greater torque, but also greatly improves the anti-overturning moment. This means that when grabbing heavy workpieces or facing eccentric loads, the clamping jaw is less likely to be skewed or deformed, and the stability is far superior to traditional designs. The design of the "factory" elongated slope umbrella push rod further expands the contact area through the elongated slope contact structure, and cooperates with the linkage of the large-stroke umbrella head to achieve a fold increase in the movement distance of the slider, completely breaking through the problem of limited stroke of traditional clamping jaws.
[0020] From the large-stroke realization mechanism, the "cross" elongated sliding large-stroke slider and the "factory" elongated slope type guide slope cooperate to subvert the traditional small-stroke transmission logic. The "elongated slope" design of the "factory" elongated slope type guide slope is the key. The increase in the length of the slope enables the linear driving displacement of the push block to be converted into a larger movement distance of the large-stroke slider through the slope. For example, when the push block moves a small distance in the driving direction, the contact point between the slope and the large-stroke slider will produce a fold increase in the distance of the "cross" sliding large-stroke slider along the horizontal or vertical direction due to the length advantage of the slope. This design breaks through the limitation that the overall size must be increased to increase the stroke of the traditional push-pull rod. Through the geometric optimization of the transmission structure, the movement stroke of the large-stroke slider is greatly improved without significantly expanding the appearance of the clamping jaw, perfectly adapting to the core demand of large-stroke for multi-claw and other multi-finger clamping jaws.
[0021] In terms of large torque and high bearing capacity, the structural design of the "cross-like" elongated sliding large stroke slider plays a decisive role. The "cross-like" structure is not a simple shape definition, but an integrated design with reinforcing ribs or extended contact surfaces in both the horizontal and vertical directions: the horizontal extension increases the contact width with the workpiece, and the vertical reinforcement improves the structural strength of the large stroke slider. This design significantly increases the contact area between the large stroke slider and the workpiece, at least 2 times more than the traditional narrow large stroke slider. Greater contact area means that the clamping force can be more evenly distributed on the workpiece surface, avoiding damage to the workpiece caused by excessive local pressure, and also allowing the friction force to be stacked to withstand greater torque. Even in scenarios where heavy workpieces are grabbed or rotated, the large stroke slider is less likely to slip or deform, significantly increasing the upper limit of the clamping jaw's bearing capacity.
[0022] The realization of high anti-overturning torque is the result of the synergistic effect of two types of components. During the grabbing process, the center of gravity of the workpiece may shift or external impact forces may cause the clamping jaw to tilt, at which point the elongated feature of the "cross-like" elongated sliding large stroke slider lengthens the force arm, in conjunction with the large contact area of the "factory" elongated inclined surface guide inclined block, forming a stable force balance system. The large contact area of the "factory" push block ensures smoother force transmission between the push block and the large stroke slider, avoiding transmission failure caused by local stress concentration; the "cross-like" large stroke slider disperses the overturning torque to the entire clamping system through its structural rigidity and large area contact with the workpiece, effectively resisting the risk of workpiece tilting or falling off. This design allows the clamping jaw to maintain a stable clamping state when handling eccentric workpieces or irregularly shaped workpieces, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the operation.
[0023] In summary, the innovative combination of the "cross-like" elongated sliding large stroke slider and the "factory" elongated inclined surface guide inclined block breaks through the limitations of traditional clamping jaws in terms of transmission efficiency, structural strength, and force distribution, providing an efficient, compact, and reliable technical solution for large stroke multi-finger clamping jaws, better adapting to the diverse grabbing needs in industrial automation.
[0024] 2) The design of the electric clamping coupling transmission assembly transmits the movement of the first and second prime movers to the multi-finger claw head base, and the movement of the first and second prime movers is mechanically coupled and transmitted through the mechanism, that is, the prime movers can move independently or coupled by signal transmission, thereby realizing precise control of the multi-finger claw head. The movement of the first prime mover can be transmitted to the large-stroke umbrella head of the multi-finger claw head base, and the large-stroke umbrella head is matched with the large-stroke slider to realize the opposite or opposite movement of the large-stroke slider. The movement of the second prime mover can be transmitted to the multi-finger claw head base through the cooperation of the second transmission gear assembly and the first transmission gear assembly to realize the forward or reverse precise movement of the multi-finger claw head base in the circumferential direction. The dual breakthrough of precise control and flexible movement is realized. The combination of the electric clamping coupling transmission assembly is the core of the invention to realize precise control and multi-functional movement. Through ingenious design, the movement of the first and second prime movers is efficiently transmitted to the multi-finger claw head base, realizing flexible switching between "independent movement" and "coupled movement", and achieving optimal force transmission, breaking through the bottleneck of single function and insufficient control precision of traditional transmission mechanisms.
[0025] When the first prime mover is started, its movement can be fully transmitted to the large-stroke umbrella head, and then the umbrella head is matched with the large-stroke slider to precisely drive the slider to move in opposite directions or opposite directions. This process is fast in response and controllable in stroke, ensuring that the tightness of the workpiece grabbing is just right. The movement of the second prime mover is transmitted through the cooperation of the gear assembly to drive the multi-finger claw head base to rotate in the circumferential direction.
[0026] More importantly, the two prime movers can operate independently or coupled by signal transmission. This mechanical coupling and signal coordination design enables the control precision of the multi-finger claw head to reach a new level, greatly reduces the cost of manual intervention, and improves the stability of the automatic production line.
[0027] 3) The three-seal design ensures reliability in extreme environments. The sealing housing is composed of a top cover plate above the fixed seat and a bottom cover plate below the fixed seat, which are sealed with the fixed seat. Foreign matter cannot enter the motor and internal transmission parts through the movement gap position and the machine body, causing internal transmission parts to fail due to environmental reasons. For example, water, coolant, corrosive liquid, gas or dust impurities enter the clamping jaw. Through the static sealing of the machine housing, foreign matter is effectively prevented from entering the electric claw interior, completely blocking the channel for foreign matter to enter the interior from the machine body gap, and even small dust or liquid droplets cannot penetrate.
[0028] But foreign matter can enter the electric claw inside through rotation or linear motion, so a second sealing ring is arranged in the claw head for linear transmission to prevent foreign matter from entering from the claw head; at the rotating transmission connecting part of the claw head base and the shell, a first sealing ring is arranged to prevent foreign matter from entering from the rotating transmission part, the first sealing ring precisely fills the rotating gap, prevents foreign matter from entering from the rotating connection, and the triple sealing design realizes the environmental resistance, fundamentally solving the pain point of the failure of traditional clamping claws due to internal element pollution.
[0029] The triple protection of the static seal combined with dynamic seal enables the clamping claw to stably operate in humid, dusty and highly corrosive extreme environments, and the internal motor and transmission parts always remain clean and dry, and will not be jammed, corroded or short-circuited due to foreign matter erosion, which not only greatly prolongs the service life of the clamping claw, but also reduces the number of downtime maintenance, and provides "zero failure" guarantee for continuous production.

A first sealing ring 710 is further provided on the outer ring of the first bearing 220 and below the first transmission gear 210. The first sealing ring 710 is fixed to the machine housing 500. The first sealing ring 710 contacts and frictionally drives the outer ring of the first bearing 220 to form a dynamic seal.
[0045] The large-stroke umbrella head 130 includes an umbrella head 160 and a push rod 170. The push rod 170 has a clearance fit with the through holes in the first bearing 220 and the multi-finger claw head base 110. One end of the push rod 170 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the third bearing 320. The umbrella head 160 includes transverse connecting rods 180 having the same number as the large-stroke slider 120 and guiding inclined blocks 190 at an angle of 120 - 150 degrees with the transverse connecting rods 180. The upper surfaces of the transverse connecting rods 180 and the guiding inclined blocks 190 together form an integral plane. The lower part of the guiding inclined blocks 190 extends beyond the lower surface of the transverse connecting rods 180. The cross-section of the structure formed by the transverse connecting rods 180 and the guiding inclined blocks 190 is in the shape of "厂". The large-stroke umbrella head 130 is located in the cavity formed inside the multi-finger claw head base 110. A second sealing ring 720 is fixedly clamped at the bottom of the multi-finger claw head base 110 and at the through hole.

[0046] The multi-finger claw head base 110 is provided with at least two or more through slots 150 passing through the center axis and along the radial direction. In an embodiment of the present invention, there are 4 through slots 150. The through slots 150 are evenly distributed on a plane perpendicular to the push rod 170. The through slots 150 are connected at the central through hole to form an integral cavity. The through slots 150 are in a structure with a cross-section similar to a "十" shape and correspond to the large-stroke slider 120 with the same cross-section of a similar "十" shape. The large-stroke slider 120 is located in the through slots 150 and makes a centripetal or centrifugal back-and-forth movement along the through slots 150 under the action of the guiding inclined blocks 190 of the large-stroke umbrella head 130.
[0047] A first groove 810 is opened at the bottom of each through slot 150 to accommodate the lower part of the guiding inclined blocks 190 of the lengthened inclined plane push block that extends beyond the lower surface of the transverse connecting rods 180. In the initial state, the large-stroke sliders 120 are all located in the through slots 150 at the position closest to the central through hole of the multi-finger claw head base 110. The height of the through slots 150 is greater than the axial thickness A of the guiding inclined blocks 190 by 1 - 100 mm, so that the guiding inclined blocks 190 have space to move up and down axially in the integral cavity, reaching the limit at the first groove 810 at the bottom and reaching the limit at the stop piece 140 at the top. Thus, the guiding inclined blocks 190 move back and forth axially in the integral internal cavity.
[0048] The connection part of the large-stroke slider 120 matched with the guide inclined block 190 is provided with a guide inclined groove 830, and the guide inclined block 190 slides in the corresponding guide inclined groove 830. The upper surface of the multi-finger claw head base 110 is also provided with a second groove 820 for installing the baffle 140. The baffle 140 is in contact with the overall plane of the upper surface of the elongated inclined surface push block, so as to limit the elongated inclined surface push block and prevent the guide inclined block 190 from being separated from the guide inclined groove 830 on the fingers. The through groove 150 is 2-4, which is uniformly distributed along the circumference, or the through groove 150 is 5, and the included angle between each through groove 150 is 72 degrees, or the through groove 150 is 6, and the included angle between each through groove 150 is 60 degrees.
[0049] The first transmission gear 210 and the second transmission gear 230 can be any one of a straight gear pair, an inclined gear pair, a magnetic field wheel or a gear chain wheel pair. The first prime mover 410 is any one of a hydraulic push rod 170, a pneumatic push rod 170, an electromagnetic push rod 170, a ball screw or a T-shaped screw or an explosion-proof screw motor. The second prime mover 420 is any one of a servo motor, a stepper motor, a rotary cylinder, a rotary hydraulic cylinder, a DD motor, a speed reduction integrated machine and an explosion-proof motor. The machine shell 500 includes a fixed seat 520, a top cover plate 530 sealingly matched with the fixed seat 520, and a bottom cover plate 510 sealingly matched with the fixed seat 520. The upper part of the machine shell is connected with a signal line 600.
[0050] When working, the first prime mover 410 drives the transmission rod 350, drives the coupling slider 310 to move linearly downward under the guidance of the linear guide rail and the linear slider 330, drives the large-stroke umbrella head 130 connected with the coupling slider 310 to move downward, and drives the umbrella head 160 to move away from the first groove 810 and move toward the baffle 140. At the same time, under the action of the guide inclined block 190, the guide inclined groove 830 of the large-stroke slider 120 matched with the guide inclined block 190 moves away from the center through hole of the multi-finger claw head base 110 until the upper surface of the transverse connecting rod 180 and the guide inclined block 190 form an overall plane which is limited by the baffle 140, and the claw clamp is opened to the maximum. In addition, according to the requirement, under the action of the first prime mover 410 driving the transmission rod 350, the umbrella head 160 is driven to move close to the first groove 810 and move away from the baffle 140. At the same time, under the action of the guide inclined block 190, the guide inclined groove 830 of the large-stroke slider 120 matched with the guide inclined block 190 moves close to the center through hole of the multi-finger claw head base 110 until the guide inclined block 190 exceeds the lower part of the "factory" shape of the lower surface of the transverse connecting rod 180 to reach the bottom of the first groove 810, and the claw clamp is closed to the minimum. The umbrella head 160 can be precisely moved back and forth along the axial direction in the internal cavity of the multi-finger claw head base 110 under the driving of the transmission rod 350.
