Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical arm transportation, in particular to a robot outward-extended transportation finger clamping mechanism for a box. Background Art

[0002] Roller lines and turnover boxes are a common combination in automated production lines. A manipulator is often set up next to the production line to grab the turnover box as needed. The turnover box is generally a rectangular structure made of plastic material with a handle hole on the box, so a special fixed clamp finger needs to be designed to be installed on the general manipulator so that the manipulator can carry out targeted handling of the turnover box.

[0003] For structural strength considerations, the gripper fingers are generally made of hard materials. To reduce design difficulty and cost considerations, the gripper fingers of the manipulator generally do not have a force feedback self-adjustment function. Therefore, the design of the specific shape of the gripper fingers is more important. If the design is not good, it may cause the gripper fingers to contact with the turnover box inaccurately or damage the box. Utility Model Content
