[0049] The pressure cavity is filled with liquid medium, and the hydraulic drive part is used to input liquid medium to the upper and lower sides of the piston 111 respectively when the mechanical arm 4 is lifted, so as to realize the functions of the up and down movement of the piston 111 and the main shaft 112; when the main shaft 112 moves up and down, the two clamping jaw assemblies are expanded or contracted through the intermediate connecting seat 106, so as to realize the functions of clamping or releasing the square material 15.

[0050] One end of the mechanical arm 4 is connected to the side of the support plate 2, and the other end of the mechanical arm 4 is connected to the rotary column 7, and a rotary driving mechanism is arranged on the mechanical arm 4 and used to drive the mechanical arm 4 to rotate around the rotary column 7; and a lifting driving mechanism is arranged on the rotary column 7 and used to drive the mechanical arm 4 to lift.

[0051] The mechanical arm 4 is parallel, and is used as a rotating and supporting part of the whole mechanical arm, and is driven to rotate through the rotary driving mechanism. The rotary column 7 is the rotating axis of the mechanical arm 4, and a counterweight part can be arranged at the bottom of the rotary column 7, so as to stabilize the whole mechanical arm.

[0052] During the carrying operation, the height of the mechanical arm 4 is adjusted through the lifting driving mechanism, so that the translation type clamping mechanism 1 is aligned with the square material 15; the rotary driving mechanism is started, and the mechanical arm 4 and the translation type clamping mechanism 1 are driven to rotate to above the material, at this time, the piston 111 is at the lowest position, at this time, the two clamping jaw assemblies of the mechanical arm are expanded to the maximum angle, and this state is the initial state in the figure. Figure 1 Then the lifting driving mechanism drives the mechanical arm 4 to descend to the lowest height, to the state in the figure. Figure 2 Then the hydraulic drive part inputs liquid medium to the lower side of the piston 111, pushes the piston 111 and the main shaft 112 to move upwards, the main shaft 112 drives the two clamping jaw assemblies to contract through the intermediate connecting seat 106, the elastic clamping plate 105 clamps the square material 15, and the state in the figure is formed.

Figure 5 After reaching the position, the mechanical arm 4 is lowered to the lowest position, the hydraulic drive part inputs liquid medium to the upper side of the piston 111, pushes the piston 111 and the main shaft 112 to move downwards, the clamping jaw assemblies are expanded, the square material 15 is released, the carrying is completed, and the state in the figure is formed. Figure 6 Finally, each part is reset, and returns to the initial state in the figure, ready for the next carrying. Figure 1 Finally, each part is reset, and returns to the initial state in the figure, ready for the next carrying.

[0053] The present application takes the rotary column 7 as the rotation axis, and the mechanical arm 4 realizes accurate rotation through the rotation driving mechanism, cooperates with the lifting action of the lifting driving mechanism, and completes the space transfer between two points; the hydraulic drive utilizes the incompressibility of the liquid medium, controls the lifting of the main shaft 112 through the pressure difference on the upper and lower sides of the piston 111, and then converts into the folding and unfolding of the clamping jaw assembly through the intermediate connecting seat 106, realizes the clamping and loosening of the material; the fixed-point rotation design of the present application adapts to the two-point transfer scene, improves the carrying efficiency, the hydraulic drive makes the clamping force stable and controllable, and the multi-mechanism cooperative action realizes the full-automatic circulating carrying; the hydraulic clamping of the present application combines the lifting action of the mechanical arm 4, and the two cooperative operations do not need an additional power source, realize the clamping action of the clamping jaw through the liquid medium, simplify the system structure, and reduce the energy consumption; and the hydraulic transmission has no mechanical meshing gap, and the component wear is much lower than that of the gear and screw of the electric or pneumatic clamping, so that the service life of the mechanical hand is longer, and the maintenance cost is reduced.

[0054] The liquid medium of the present application can be hydraulic oil, pure water, etc.

[0055] Further, the clamping jaw assembly comprises a first parallel rod 101, a second parallel rod 102, a connecting rod 103, a mounting plate 104 and an elastic clamping plate 105.

[0056] The top of the first parallel rod 101 and the second parallel rod 102 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support plate 2, the bottom of the first parallel rod 101 and the second parallel rod 102 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 104, and the first parallel rod 101 and the second parallel rod 102 are arranged in parallel; the mounting plate 104 is detachably connected to the elastic clamping plate 105; the middle part of the first parallel rod 101 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 103, and the other end of the connecting rod 103 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the intermediate connecting seat 106.

[0057] The elastic clamping plates 105 of the two clamping jaw assemblies are used for clamping the square material 15; the connecting rods 103 of the two clamping jaw assemblies are distributed on both sides of the intermediate connecting seat 106.

[0058] As Figure 1 , Figure 7, the initial state, the main shaft 112 is in the lowest position, the intermediate connecting seat 106 pulls down the connecting rod 103, the first parallel rod 101 and the second parallel rod 102 rotate outward to the maximum angle, and the elastic clamping plate 105 expands with the mounting plate 104; when the mechanical arm 4 is lowered to the lowest height, the hydraulic drive pushes the main shaft 112 to move upwards, the intermediate connecting seat 106 pushes up the connecting rod 103, and drives the first parallel rod 101 to rotate inward, because the parallel rods are arranged in parallel, the mounting plate 104 and the elastic clamping plate 105 keep parallel and translate inward, and the square material 15 is folded and clamped; after the material is transferred to the target station, the main shaft 112 moves downward, the intermediate connecting seat 106 pulls down the connecting rod 103, the parallel rods rotate outward, the elastic clamping plate 105 expands and releases the material, and then resets to the maximum expansion angle.

[0059] The first parallel rod 101 and the second parallel rod 102 of the present application constitute a parallelogram mechanism, which ensures that the elastic clamping plate 105 is always parallel to the side surface of the square material 15 during opening and closing; the parallelogram mechanism ensures that the material is uniformly stressed during clamping; the elastic clamping plate 105 can buffer the clamping impact force and protect the surface of the material. The elastic clamping plate 105 can be a rubber plate.

[0060] The present application adopts hydraulic clamping, utilizes the physical characteristics of incompressible liquid medium, realizes gapless transmission of force through the pressure cavity and the piston 111: the liquid medium transmits pressure to the main shaft 112, then synchronously drives the two-side clamping jaw assemblies through the intermediate connecting seat 106, cooperates with the parallelogram mechanism, makes the elastic clamping plate 105 always parallel and stably fold, the clamping force is impact-free and smooth, which can not only ensure firm clamping of heavy materials, but also avoid damage of light materials due to impact, and adapt to the clamping needs of square materials of different materials such as packaging boxes and iron boxes.

[0061] Further, the top of the main shaft 112 is threadedly connected with an upper limit ring 114, the bottom of the main shaft 112 is provided with a blind hole, the top of a sliding rod 109 is slidably arranged in the blind hole, a lower limit ring 107 is threadedly connected on the sliding rod 109, the lower limit ring 107 is located below the support plate 2, the bottom of a clamping spring 108 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower limit ring 107, the top of the clamping spring 108 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main shaft 112, and the clamping spring 108 is sleeved on the sliding rod 109 and passes through the support plate 2.

[0062] The bottom of the sealing shell 113 is fixedly connected with an adjusting rod 110, and the adjusting rod 110 is connected to the top of the support plate 2 in a height-adjustable manner, so as to adjust the height of the sealing shell 113, and further adjust the tension degree of the clamping spring 108.

[0063] For different weights of square material 15, the height of the sealing shell 113 is adjusted by adjusting the rod 110: when the sealing shell 113 is raised, the main shaft 112 moves downward relatively, the compression amount of the clamping spring 108 increases, and the tensioning degree increases, which is suitable for heavier materials (relatively heavy); when the sealing shell 113 is lowered, the tensioning degree of the spring decreases, which is suitable for lighter materials. Figure 1 In the initial state, the upper limit ring 114 has a gap with the top of the sealing shell 113, the lower limit ring 107 is in the lowest position, and the clamping spring 108 is in a pre-tightened state; when clamping the material, the main shaft 112 moves upward to stretch the clamping spring 108, the sliding rod 109 slightly slides, and the clamping jaw keeps clamping the material under the action of the clamping spring 108.

[0064] The present application uses hydraulic drive to stretch the clamping spring 108, and the clamping jaw clamps the material through the elastic force of the clamping spring. The purpose is to use the elastic force characteristics of the clamping spring to realize self-adaptive adjustment and buffer protection of clamping force, avoid damage to the material and damage to the hydraulic system caused by excessive hydraulic force, and be able to adapt to different material sizes within a small range. It should be noted that the elastic force generated by the clamping spring 108 is sufficient to clamp the material, so the present application preferably clamps and carries lighter materials, such as square materials 15 with moderate weight and regular shape, such as packaging boxes, small metal components, etc. The weight of the material is within the range of 5kg to 50kg.

[0065] Further, when the piston 111 moves upward, the two clamping jaw assemblies are closed; when the piston 111 moves downward, the two clamping jaw assemblies are opened.

[0066] Figure 1 In the initial state, the piston 111 is in the lowest position, the lower chamber volume of the pressure chamber is the smallest, the upper chamber volume is the largest, and the clamping jaw assembly is maximally opened; in the clamping stage, the hydraulic drive inputs medium to the lower chamber, the piston 111 moves upward, the lower chamber volume increases and the upper chamber volume decreases, and the clamping jaw assembly is closed by the main shaft 112; in the releasing stage, the hydraulic drive inputs medium to the upper chamber, the piston 111 moves downward, the upper chamber volume increases and the lower chamber volume decreases, and the clamping jaw assembly is opened; after resetting, the piston 111 returns to the lowest position, and the clamping jaw restores to the maximally opened state.

[0069] The piston 111 divides the pressure cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, the top of the jaw unfolding oil cavity 901 is communicated with the upper chamber through the jaw unfolding oil pipe 11, and the top of the jaw folding oil cavity 902 is communicated with the variable volume mechanism 14 through the jaw folding first oil pipe 12; the variable volume mechanism 14 is communicated with the lower chamber through the jaw folding second oil pipe 13.

[0070] The unfolding control piston 9011 and the folding control piston 9021 are used for alternating up-down movement, so as to realize the up-down movement of the piston 111, and achieve the functions of unfolding or folding of the two jaw assemblies.

[0071] In the clamping stage, the folding control piston 9021 moves upwards to extrude the liquid medium in the jaw folding oil cavity 902, the liquid medium enters the variable volume mechanism 14 through the jaw folding first oil pipe 12, and then flows into the lower chamber of the pressure cavity through the jaw folding second oil pipe 13, so as to push the piston 111 to move upwards and fold the jaws; in the releasing stage, the unfolding control piston 9011 moves upwards to extrude the medium in the jaw unfolding oil cavity 901, the medium flows into the upper chamber of the pressure cavity through the jaw unfolding oil pipe 11, so as to push the piston 111 to move downwards and unfold the jaws; when the mechanical arm 4 rotates, the rotating outer cylinder 8 rotates around the fixed inner cylinder 9 synchronously with the mechanical arm, each oil pipe rotates with the mechanical arm 4, so that the oil circuit is always communicated and there is no winding.
