[0027] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is specifically described in combination with the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific implementations of the utility model, and does not strictly limit the protection scope of the specific request of the utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a truss robot grasping mechanism includes a clamping top plate 1, which can clamp or hang goods using clamping devices such as arc-shaped grippers, clamps, hooks, etc., and then move the goods to a target position through a lifting mechanism and a rotating mechanism. This gripping mechanism is suitable for goods with rough, uneven surfaces and holes, such as wooden boxes, plastic boxes, etc. The lower part of the clamping top plate 1 is slidably connected to two clamping plates 2, and the clamping plates 2 are made of metal, which can have a certain toughness and firmness when clamping the workpiece, wherein the material of the clamping plates 2 can be steel, iron, etc., and the two clamping plates 2 are symmetrically arranged with each other, at least one limiting rod 3 is fixed to the bottom of the clamping top plate 1, and the limiting rod 3 is slidably connected to the two clamping plates 2, and a reverse screw 4 is also installed at the lower part of the clamping top plate 1, and the outer sides of the two ends of the reverse screw 4 are respectively threadedly connected to the two clamping plates 2, and a motor 5 is fixed to one end of the clamping top plate 1, and the output end of the motor 5 passes through the clamping top plate 1 and is connected to the reverse screw 4;

[0029] According to the above description, when the workpiece needs to be clamped, the motor 5 can be started, so that the output end of the motor 5 drives the reverse screw 4 to rotate, and through the rotation of the reverse screw 4, the two clamping pieces 2 are respectively threadedly connected to the two ends of the outer side of the reverse screw 4, and then the two clamping pieces 2 are restricted by the limit rod 3 to move in opposite directions, so that the two clamping pieces 2 are close to each other to clamp the workpiece;

[0030] The two clamping plates 2 are both equipped with clamping adjustment components, which are used to clamp the workpiece.

[0031] See attached Figure 3 Each clamping and adjusting assembly includes a mounting bin 6, and the mounting bin 6 is fixed on the side where the two clamping pieces 2 are away from each other, and a plurality of adjusting rods 7 are slidably connected to the inner side of the clamping piece 2. Furthermore, a soft head 10 is fixed to the end of the adjusting rod 7 away from the mounting bin 6. By setting the soft head 10, when the adjusting rod 7 clamps the workpiece, the friction between the adjusting rod 7 and the workpiece can be reduced, thereby ensuring the degree of damage to the surface of the workpiece, and the material of the soft head 10 can be rubber, etc., and the adjusting rod 7 is made of metal, so that the adjusting rod 7 can be relatively strong when supporting the workpiece, and its material can be steel, iron, etc., and the adjusting rod 7 is also slidably connected to the mounting bin 6;

[0032] When the clamping piece 2 clamps the workpiece, the workpiece may be of different shapes. In this case, the workpiece may be clamped by a plurality of different adjusting rods 7.

[0033] For example, when clamping a spherical workpiece, the clamping sheet 2 clamps the workpiece through the adjusting rod 7, and the part of the sphere whose diameter is in a straight line with the clamping sheet 2 abuts against the adjusting rod 7, so that the adjusting rod 7 of this part is retracted to the inner side of the mounting bin 6, while the other adjusting rods 7 that are not in contact with the spherical workpiece remain stationary. At this time, the spherical workpiece can be clamped by the adjusting rod 7 in contact with it, and the workpiece is supported by the adjusting rod 7 at the bottom of the spherical workpiece, so that workpieces of different shapes can be clamped;

[0034] A plurality of reset components corresponding to the adjusting rod 7 are arranged on the inner side of the installation compartment 6 , and the reset components are used to drive the adjusting rod 7 to reset.

[0035] See attached Figure 4 Each reset assembly includes a sliding groove 8 arranged inside the mounting chamber 6, and the adjusting rod 7 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 8. A spring 9 is also arranged in the sliding groove 8. The spring 9 can be made of spring steel, thereby enhancing the service life of the spring 9, and the spring 9 is connected to the adjusting rod 7 and the mounting chamber 6;

[0036] According to the above description, when clamping the workpiece, it can be clamped by the adjusting rod 7, and after the clamping is completed, the clamping plate 2 and the adjusting rod 7 remove the workpiece. At this time, the adjusting rod 7 is reset by the setting of the spring 9, thereby preparing for the next workpiece clamping.

[0037] Please see attached Figure 3As shown, a plurality of support frames 11 are fixed to the side of the clamping plate 2 away from the mounting bin 6, and the upper and lower parts of the support frames 11 are provided with support grooves corresponding to the adjusting rod 7. Through the arrangement of the support frames 11, the support frames 11 can support the adjusting rod 7, and when the adjusting rod 7 at the bottom of the workpiece supports the workpiece, the adjusting rod 7 can be supported by the support frames 11, thereby increasing the service life of the adjusting rod 7.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in the technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
