DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 5 The principles and features of the present invention are described, and the examples given are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] A mechanical gripper for riser production comprises a guide plate 1, a clamping claw 3, a cam 4 and a fixed plate 15.

[0025] The guide plate 1 and the fixed plate 15 are arranged in parallel, and the guide plate 1 is arranged below the fixed plate 15, and the guide plate 1 and the fixed plate 15 are fixed to each other by fasteners 17 (bolts). The cam 4 is arranged above the guide plate 1 and below the fixed plate 15, and the cam 4 is rotatably connected to the guide plate 1. The fixed plate 15 is connected to a driver 16, which is a motor, and the output end of the driver 16 is connected to the cam 4, and the driver 16 is used to drive the cam 4 to rotate.

[0026] The guide plate 1 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 2 along the radial direction. Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 It can be seen that six guide grooves 2 are provided in this embodiment. The six guide grooves 2 are distributed radially. One end of the clamping jaw 3 is slidably connected to the guide groove 2, and the guide groove 2 corresponds to the clamping jaw 3 one by one. Specifically, the clamping jaw 3 includes a main body 7, a slider 8 and a guide wheel 9 which are connected to each other. The main body 7 is cylindrical. The main body 7 is connected to the bottom of the slider 8 and fixed by bolts; the guide wheel 9 is connected to the top of the slider 8; the slider 8 is slidably connected in the guide groove 2. A top block 10 is connected to one end of the guide groove 2 close to the center of the guide plate 1, and a spring 11 is provided between the top block 10 and the slider 8, and one end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the top block 10. Replacing the length of the top block 10 can control the maximum length of the slider 8 sliding inward.

[0027] The cam 4 is used to drive the clamping jaws 3 to slide. The cam 4 is provided with a concave portion 5 and a convex portion 6 in pairs, and each clamping jaw 3 corresponds to a set of concave portions 5 and convex portions 6. The guide wheel 9 abuts against the cam surface of the cam 4. When the cam 4 rotates to make the guide wheel 9 correspond to the concave portion 5 of the cam 4, the clamping jaws 3 gather together to clamp the workpiece; when the cam 4 rotates to make the guide wheel 9 correspond to the convex portion 6 of the cam 4, the clamping jaws 3 move away from each other to release the workpiece. The two side walls of the concave portion 5 are defined as a first side wall 12 and a second side wall 13, respectively, and the inclination of the first side wall 12 is greater than the inclination of the second side wall 13. Under this design, when the guide wheel 9 slides from the convex portion 6 to the concave portion 5 through the second side wall 13, the clamping jaws 3 move closer to each other to clamp the workpiece. Since the second side wall 13 is relatively smooth, the workpiece is clamped more stably to avoid damaging the workpiece. When the guide wheel 9 slides from the concave portion 5 to the first side wall 12 to the convex portion 6, the clamping jaws 3 move away from each other to release the workpiece. Since the first side wall 12 is relatively steep, the workpiece is lowered more quickly, thereby improving the clamping efficiency.

[0028] An elastic member 14 is sleeved and connected around the clamping jaw 3. Under the action of the elastic member 14, the clamping jaw 3 has a tendency to move toward the center. The elastic member 14 is used in conjunction with the cam 4. The elastic member 14 is used to gather the clamping jaw 3 toward the center; the cam 4 is used to open the clamping jaw 3. Under the action of the elastic member 14, the clamping jaw 3 has a relatively mild clamping force.

[0029] In this solution, the driver 16 can be rotated unidirectionally to achieve periodic movement of the clamping jaws 3 toward the center or outward expansion; the clamping jaws 3 are relatively long and can conveniently clamp the workpiece.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
