Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of visual gripper application, and specifically discloses a visual gripper for an industrial robot. Background Art

[0002] Visual grasping is realized based on visual robots, which are divided into four main operation nodes: target object positioning, target posture determination, grasping detection, and grasping planning. When the target is positioned, the predicted grasping frame position is different due to different observation angles. The closer the grasped object is to the camera position, the more accurate the grasping prediction is. There is a gripping error due to the long distance between the visual system and the target object. The existing publication number is CN214490592U, which is an industrial robot visual grasper. The device realizes rotation and up and down reciprocating motion within the range of the mechanical grasping arm by setting a driving accessory device, which is convenient for the mechanical arm to grasp the workpiece. The adjustment of the grasping direction of the mechanical arm is convenient for quickly identifying multiple workpieces in the position and quickly grasping, which can effectively improve work efficiency and grasp multiple workpieces within the range, and avoid the problem of missed grasping. The above device uses the driving accessory device to adjust the grasping direction of the mechanical arm, quickly identify multiple workpieces and grasp them, effectively improve work efficiency and avoid missed grasping, but it cannot avoid the grasping position offset when grasping materials, resulting in loose grasping, and it is not convenient to adjust the clamping force.
