Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a cantilever grabbing manipulator. Background Art
[0002] Automated processing of automobile bogies is a trend. The automobile bogie is assembled from multiple parts, among which the cantilever is one of the main parts. When developing automatic processing equipment, a robot is needed to grab and move the cantilever to different workstations. The robot is equipped with a grabbing manipulator to grab the cantilever. The traditional grabbing manipulator structure is a solid steel finger-like structure. Referring to the grabbing manipulator structure shown in the published patent 2017107028285 (hereinafter referred to as the comparative document), since the cross-section of the cantilever arm body is circular or square, the grabbing manipulator in the comparative document is applicable to grabbing square cantilever, because there is a straight line inside its claw clamp, which fits the contour of the square cantilever more closely. However, when grabbing the circular cantilever, due to structural limitations, the contact area with the arm body is small, and it is easy to leave an indentation on the arm body of the cantilever when the claw clamp is closed (reference Figure 4 ), which will cause the cantilever to fail in the later stage; at the same time, the grasping will be unstable and easy to fall after grasping, which needs to be improved.
