During the rotation of the finger 3, the force of the finger 3 is distributed on the fixed shaft 11 and the rotating shaft 4, so that the carrying capacity of the finger mechanism is improved, and its service life is longer. The overall structure is relatively simple, the size is small and the cost is low. In addition, a buffer blocking member 5 is also provided on the mounting seat 2 and the third side plate. The buffer blocking member 5 is a tubular component that can limit the movement range of the rotating shaft 4.

[0053] Specifically, the diameter of the shaft end baffle 7 is larger than the diameter of the through hole on the finger 3. The shaft end fixing component 10 is preferably a fixing screw, which fixes the shaft end baffle 7 to the fixed shaft 11, thereby preventing the finger 3 from falling off the oil-free bushing 8. Preferably, the shaft end baffle 7 is made of brass to play a lubricating role, thereby reducing the rotational resistance of the finger 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first side plate is fixedly connected to the third side plate, the first side plate is arranged parallel to the second side plate, and a gap is provided between the third side plate and the second side plate.

[0055] Specifically, the first side panel is arranged in parallel with the second side panel and is arranged at the edges of the two ends of the mounting seat 2.

The third side panel is connected to the first side panel, and the third side panel and the first side panel are arranged perpendicular to each other. A gap is provided between the third side panel and the second side panel to avoid affecting the rotation process of the finger 3.

[0057] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 3 With attached Figure 6 The mounting seat 2 is provided with a through hole for the driving device 1, that is, the output end of the executing motor passes through. A plurality of smaller through holes are provided on the periphery of the through hole. After the output end of the executing motor passes through the through hole, the executing motor is fixed by a plurality of fixing mechanisms 9 on the other side of the first side plate. The fixing mechanism 9 is preferably a bolt so that the executing motor can be detachably connected to the first side plate. It should be noted that the distance between the rotating shaft 4 and the first side plate and the second side plate is adjusted according to the detection range of the detection switch 6 and the height of the fixing mechanism 9 on the first side plate.

[0058] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 12 are provided on the finger 3 , and the weight-reducing holes 12 are used to reduce the weight of the finger 3 .

[0059] Specifically, without affecting the strength of the finger 3, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 12 are provided on the finger 3, so as to reduce the load of the drive device 1, thereby achieving energy saving and consumption reduction and reducing the total weight of the mechanism.

[0060] In addition to the above-mentioned finger shifting mechanism, the present invention also provides a telescopic fork including the finger shifting mechanism disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment.
