During assembly, the manipulator connecting plate 1 is connected to the joint manipulator, and in the initial state, the gripper body 4 is in a closed state.

[0019] The buffer assembly 2 includes a connecting shaft 201, and a linear bearing 202, a spring sleeve 203, a rectangular spring 204, a thread sleeve 205 and a stopper 206 which are sleeved and connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 201; the bottom end of the connecting shaft 201 passes through the manipulator connecting plate 1 and is connected to the pneumatic clamp 3, the linear bearing 202 is embedded and connected in the manipulator connecting plate 1, and is clamped with the bottom surface of the manipulator connecting plate 1 through the skirt of the embedded bottom end of the linear bearing 202, the top end of the spring sleeve 203 is connected to the thread sleeve 205, and its bottom end is connected to the top end of the linear bearing 202, the stopper 206 is arranged above the thread sleeve 205, the rectangular spring 204 is connected to the inside of the spring sleeve 203, and abuts between the thread sleeve 205 and the linear bearing 202.

[0020] The stopper 206 is connected with a nut 5 , and the nut 5 is connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 201 .

[0021] A spring support pad 6 is connected between the rectangular spring 204 and the linear bearing 202 .
