[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9 , a double-claw suction cup manipulator comprises a workbench 1 and a support plate 2 arranged on the surface of the workbench 1, and also comprises: a fixed plate 3, fixedly connected to the support plate 2, and an installation cavity is opened inside the fixed plate 3; a push plate 4, slidably connected in the installation cavity of the fixed plate 3; a connecting plate 5, hinged at the top of the push plate 4; a clamping claw 6, hinged at the top of the connecting plate 5; a suction cup 7, fixedly connected to the clamping claw 6; an electric push rod 8, fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 4. When the workpiece needs to be clamped and fixed, the workbench 1 is moved to a suitable position, and the push plate 4 is pushed by the electric push rod 8 to rotate the connecting plate 5. When the connecting plate 5 rotates, the clamping claw 6 is driven to rotate toward the center of the workbench 1, and the two clamping claws 6 rotate towards each other, thereby driving the suction cup 7 to clamp the workpiece.

[0032] There are two groups of connecting plates 5 and clamps 6, and the two groups of clamps 6 and suction cups 7 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the push plate 4 as the symmetry axis. By pushing the push plate 4, the two clamps 6 and suction cups 7 can clamp and fix the workpiece, making the clamping effect more stable.

[0033] A first circular support rod 9 runs through the hinge of the two clamping jaws 6 and is rotatably connected to the clamping jaws 6. The first circular support rod 9 is rotatably connected in the installation cavity of the fixed plate 3. The first circular support rod 9 can support and limit the clamping jaws 6 when they rotate.

[0034] The suction cup 7 and the clamping jaw 6 are provided with sliding grooves of the same size, and the sliding grooves of the suction cup 7 and the clamping jaw 6 are penetrated by a first rack 10 and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves of the suction cup 7 and the clamping jaw 6. The surface of the workbench 1 close to the clamping jaw 6 is rotatably connected to a second circular support rod 11, and the surface of the second circular support rod 11 is penetrated by a first gear 12 and is fixedly connected to the second circular support rod 11. The first gear 12 is meshed with the first rack 10. When the two suction cups 7 clamp the workpiece, they first contact the first rack 10, and the first rack 10 slides in the opposite direction along the sliding grooves inside the suction cup 7 and the clamping jaw 6 and meshes with the first gear 12, so that the first gear 12 can be rotated, and the second circular support rod 11 plays a role in supporting the first gear 12.

[0035] A vertical plate 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the workbench 1 close to the suction cup 7, and a sliding groove is provided on the top surface of the vertical plate 13. A second rack 14 is slidably connected in the sliding groove of the vertical plate 13. The second rack 14 is meshed with the first gear 12. A pointed head is provided on the surface of one end of the second rack 14 close to the first gear 12. When the first gear 12 rotates, it will drive the second rack 14 to slide in the sliding groove of the vertical plate 13 toward the edge of the workbench 1.

[0036] The two side surfaces of the push plate 4 are fixedly connected with strip plates 15 , and one end of the strip plate 15 away from the push plate 4 is fixedly connected with a third rack 16 .

[0037] The two side surfaces of the workbench 1 close to the third rack 16 are rotatably connected with a third circular support rod 17, the surface of the third circular support rod 17 is penetrated by a second gear 18 and is fixedly connected to the third circular support rod 17, the third rack 16 is meshed with the second gear 18, when the push plate 4 is pushed, the third rack 16 is driven to slide upward through the strip plate 15 and meshed with the second gear 18, so that the second gear 18 can continue to rotate.

[0038] One end of the electric push rod 8 away from the push plate 4 is fixedly connected to a vertical plate 19 , and the vertical plate 19 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1 . The vertical plate 19 can support and stabilize the electric push rod 8 .

[0039] Universal wheels 20 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the workbench 1, and the universal wheels 20 are used to facilitate the movement of the workbench 1, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the manipulator.

[0040] A spring 21 is sleeved on the surface of the first rack 10, one end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the first rack 10, and the other end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove of the clamping jaw 6. The spring 21 helps to reset the first rack 10, making it easier to clamp the workpiece next time.

[0041] In the utility model, when it is necessary to clamp and fix the workpiece with a manipulator, the workbench 1 is moved to a suitable position, the electric push rod 8 is started to push the push plate 4 to slide in the installation cavity of the fixed plate 3, and the connecting plate 5 is driven to rotate, and the two clamping claws 6 are driven to rotate through the hinged relationship, thereby driving the two suction cups 7 to rotate to clamp the workpiece. At the same time, the first rack 10 in the suction cup 7 first contacts the workpiece, and the first rack 10 slides in the slide groove of the suction cup 7 and the clamping claw 6, meshing with the first gear 12, driving the first gear 12 to rotate on the second circular support rod 11, and the first gear 12 is engaged with the second rack 14 when rotating, so that the second rack 1 4 slides in the slide groove of the vertical plate 13. At the same time, the push plate 4 drives the third rack 16 to move upward and mesh with the second gear 18 through the strip plate 15 when pushing, so that the second gear 18 continues to rotate on the third circular support rod 17. When the workpiece is clamped and fixed by the suction cup 7, the tip of the second rack 14 slides into the gap of the second gear 18, clamps the second gear 18, and stops the second gear 18 from rotating, so that the third rack 16 stops sliding upward, so that the push plate 4 stops sliding upward, so that the suction cup 7 and the clamping claw 6 stop clamping the workpiece, which helps to protect the workpiece and prevent the workpiece from being over-clamped and causing damage and deformation.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
