[0032] The guard mechanism includes a grabbing tooth opening and closing driving assembly 3 and two grabbing tooth assemblies 4. The two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 are opposite to each other and are respectively hinged on the seat body 1. The grabbing tooth opening and closing driving assembly 3 is connected to the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 to drive the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 to open or close; wherein,

[0033] When the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 are in the open state, they do not interfere with the adsorption of the product 5 by the adsorption assembly 2 . When the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 are in the closed state, they block the side of the product 5 adsorbed by the adsorption assembly 2 away from the suction cup 23 .

[0034] It should be noted that when the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 are open, the suction cup 23 can move downward to exceed the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4. The working process of the adsorption assembly 2 is that the lifting drive 22 drives the suction cup plate 21 and the suction cup 23 to descend until the suction cup 23 adsorbs the product 5, and then the lifting drive 22 drives the suction cup plate 21, the suction cup 23 and the product 5 adsorbed by the suction cup 23 to rise. Before the lifting drive 22 drives the suction cup 23 to descend, the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 are opened first, and after the suction cup 23 adsorbs the product 5 and the lifting drive 22 drives the suction cup plate 21 and the suction cup 23 to rise, the two grabbing tooth assemblies 4 are closed.

[0035] Specifically, after the adsorption component 2 adsorbs the product 5, the grabbing tooth opening and closing driving component 3 drives the two grabbing tooth components 4 to close, and the two grabbing tooth components 4 block the bottom of the product 5. Even if the product 5 is separated from the suction cup 23 during the movement of the manipulator, the grabbing tooth components 4 support the product 5, thereby preventing the product 5 from falling directly to the ground. Based on this, the manipulator in this embodiment can play a good protective role for the product, improve the safety and stability of grabbing the product 5, and also prevent the product 5 from being damaged.

[0036] The product 5 in this embodiment can be a box for loading heavy objects, or can be a bag for loading heavy objects.

[0037] Wherein, the grabbing tooth assembly 4 comprises:

[0038] A plurality of L-shaped grab teeth 41 arranged in parallel;

[0039] At least one connecting rod 42, the connecting rod 42 connects the plurality of L-shaped grab teeth 41 into a whole;

[0040] The rocker arm 43 is hinged on the seat body 1 and fixedly connected to the connecting rod 42. The grabbing tooth opening and closing driving assembly 3 is connected to the rocker arm 43 to drive the rocker arm 43 to rotate.

[0041] Each grabbing tooth assembly 4 has two rocker arms 43 , and the two rocker arms 43 are fixedly connected as a whole via a rotating shaft 44 , and the rotating shaft 44 is rotatably supported on the seat body 1 to achieve hinged connection between the rocker arms 43 and the seat body 1 .

[0042] The grabbing tooth opening and closing driving assembly 3 includes two cylinders, each cylinder corresponds to a grabbing tooth assembly 4, a connecting piece is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 44, the cylinder body of the cylinder is hinged on the base body 1, and the cylinder rod is hinged to the connecting piece.

[0045] After such arrangement, although the two connecting rods 42 are parallel, they can simultaneously constrain the L-shaped grab teeth 41 in two directions perpendicular to each other, thereby improving the structural firmness of the entire grab tooth assembly 4 and facilitating long-term stable operation.

[0046] Embodiment 3

[0047] On the basis of the first or second embodiment, the base body 1 includes:

[0048] Mechanical arm connecting part 11;
