[0002] A manipulator is an automatic device that can imitate certain movements of human hands and arms to grab, move objects or operate tools according to a fixed procedure. It can reduce the labor intensity of users and improve production efficiency.

[0003] During the ice processing process, the ice cubes need to be transported. The uncut ice cubes are large in size (the cut ice cubes can be used as semi-finished products for ice sculptures), and the ice cubes are at a low temperature, making it inconvenient to transport them by hand. Since the surface of the ice cubes is smooth, the ice cubes are easy to slip during manual transportation, causing safety hazards and reducing the efficiency of ice transportation. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows: an ice grabbing manipulator structure comprises a hollow structure connection frame, the inner walls of the connection frame are provided with retractable mounting beams at both ends, and the bottoms of the opposite end surfaces of the two mounting beams are respectively fixed with support seats of inverted T-shaped structure, and the two ends of each support seat are symmetrically sleeved with clamping seats, and the clamping seats are hinged to the support seats;

[0006] A hinged seat 1 is respectively arranged on the top surface of each clamping seat, and hinged seats 2 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the vertical end of the support seat, and an electric push rod is hinged between each hinged seat 1 and hinged seat 2.

[0008] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame at a position corresponding to the middle position of the bidirectional screw rod, a worm wheel is provided on the bidirectional screw rod corresponding to the arc-shaped groove, and fixed seats are respectively fixed on the front and rear sides of the bottom surface of the connecting frame corresponding to the worm wheel, and a worm screw meshing with the worm wheel is provided on the two fixed seats for rotating together, and a handwheel is also provided on the end of the worm screw extending out of any fixed seat.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the inner wall of the connection frame are provided with slide grooves along the length direction thereof, and the front and rear sides of the mounting beam are provided with slide bars adapted to the slide grooves, and the slide bars are connected with the slide grooves in a cooperative manner.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting frame is provided at the center of the top surface of the connecting frame.

A connecting frame 2 is also provided at the central position of the top surface of the connecting frame 1. In a specific implementation, the connecting frame 1 is installed on the main body of the balance crane through the connecting frame 2 to realize the movement control of the connecting frame 1. The above operation is a prior art; retractable mounting beams 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the inner wall of the connecting frame 1, and support seats 4 with an inverted T-shaped structure are respectively fixed at the bottom of the opposite end surfaces of the two mounting beams 3, and clamping seats 5 are symmetrically sleeved at both ends of each support seat 4, and anti-slip pads are also provided under the inner walls of the four clamping seats 5, and the clamping seats 5 are hinged to the support seats 4.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, an articulated seat 1 6 is provided on the top surface of each clamping seat 5, and an articulated seat 2 7 is provided on the front and rear sides of the vertical end of the support seat 4, and an electric push rod 8 is hinged between each articulated seat 1 6 and the articulated seat 2 7.

Through the extension and retraction of the four electric push rods 8, the articulated clamping seat 5 is driven to swing inward to effectively grab the ice cubes. During use, the clamping seats 5 at both ends can be driven to move relative to or away from each other through the extension and retraction adjustment of the mounting beams 3 at both ends, so that ice cubes of different lengths can be effectively grabbed, thereby improving the use range of the device.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, slide grooves 15 are respectively provided at both ends of the inner wall of the connecting frame 1 along its length direction, and slide bars 16 adapted to the slide grooves 15 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the mounting beam 3.

The cooperation between the slide grooves 15 and the slide bars 16 can ensure the stability of the extension and retraction of the mounting beam 3 in the connecting frame 1.

[0026] Embodiment 2

[0027] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the specific structure for controlling the rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 10 is as follows:

[0028] An arc groove is opened on the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame 9 at a position corresponding to the middle position of the bidirectional screw rod 10, and a worm wheel 12 is arranged on the bidirectional screw rod 10 corresponding to the arc groove. Fixed seats 13 are respectively fixed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the connecting frame 1 corresponding to the worm wheel 12. A worm 14 meshing with the worm wheel 12 is rotated together on the two fixed seats 13. A hand wheel is also arranged at the end of the worm 14 extending out of any fixed seat 13. By turning the hand wheel, the worm 14 is driven to rotate, and the worm wheel 12 meshing with it is driven to rotate, and the bidirectional screw rod 10 is driven to rotate at the same time. The cooperation between the worm 14 and the worm wheel 12 can not only perform effective transmission, but also achieve a certain self-locking function.

[0029] In specific use, firstly, the four clamping seats 5 are placed at the four corners of the outer end of the ice cube, and then the extension operation of the four electric push rods 8 is controlled, so that the four articulated clamping seats 5 can be driven to swing inward synchronously, and the ice cube can be effectively grasped; when the length of the ice cube changes, the mounting beam 3 is first telescopically adjusted in the connecting frame 1, and the worm 14 is driven to rotate by turning the hand wheel, and then the worm wheel 12 is driven to rotate, and at the same time, the bidirectional screw rod 10 is driven to rotate, and under the action of the positive and negative thread forces at both ends, the sliding seats 11 at both ends are driven to move relative to or away from each other, and then the mounting beam 3 is driven to telescopically adjust in the connecting frame 1, and at the same time, the clamping seats 5 at both ends are driven to move relative to or away from each other, so that ice cubes of different lengths can be grasped, thereby improving the scope of use of the device.

[0030] The above description of the utility model and its implementation methods is not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the invention of the utility model, they should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
