[0025] In one embodiment of the present utility model: a lifting cylinder 3 is installed on the top surface of the main fixing plate 1 .

[0026] In one embodiment of the present utility model: a seat bearing 4 is installed on the top surface of the main fixed plate 1, and a tray inserting gear 5 is rotatably connected inside the seat bearing 4.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention: a fixing plate 9 is installed on the tray inserting teeth 5 .

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention: a magnet block 10 is provided on the fixing plate 9 .

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing plate 9 is detachably mounted on the tray inserting teeth 5 by means of fixing bolts 8 .

[0030] Example 1, please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5The hook assembly 7 mainly includes a base 75, a guide rail 71, a slider 72 and a half hook rod 73. The base 75 is firmly installed under the main fixing plate 1 to provide support for the entire hook assembly. The guide rail 71 is horizontally arranged on the base 75. Its design ensures that the slider 72 can slide smoothly along the guide rail 71. The slider 72 is slidably connected to the guide rail 71 through a specific connection method to achieve free movement in the horizontal direction. On the bottom surface of the slider 72, we install a half hook rod 73. The shape and size of the half hook rod 73 are Through careful design, in order to ensure that it can stably hook and lift objects with handles, in order to achieve precise control of the half hook rod 73, we have installed feed screws 74 at both ends of the base 75, and one end of the feed screw 74 is connected to a motor or other driving device. By rotating the feed screw 74, the slider 72 can be driven to move precisely along the guide rail 71, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the half hook rod 73. This design enables the hook assembly 7 to adapt to handles of different widths and shapes, thereby achieving stable grasping of objects with handles.

[0031] Example 2, please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 The fixing plate 9 is designed to be installed on the pallet tooth 5 and is detachably connected by fixing bolts 8. This design allows the fixing plate 9 to be easily removed when not needed, which is convenient for equipment maintenance. On the surface of the fixing plate 9, we have embedded a plurality of magnet blocks 10. These magnet blocks 10 are carefully selected and arranged to ensure that they can generate sufficient suction to firmly adsorb ferrous objects. When the industrial robot needs to carry ferrous objects, it only needs to insert the pallet tooth 5 into the bottom of the material pallet and start the magnet block 10 to achieve stable lifting of the ferrous objects. The design of the fixing plate 9 equipped with the magnet block 10 greatly improves the safety and stability of the industrial robot when carrying ferrous objects. Due to the adsorption effect of the magnet block 10, the ferrous objects are not easily dropped due to vibration or bumps during the handling process, thereby reducing the safety hazards in the production environment.

[0032] Specifically, the hook assembly 7 adopts a translation mechanism combining the guide rail 71 on the base 75 and the slider 72, and cooperates with the precise control of the feed screw 74 to realize the opening and closing action of the half hook rod 73, which can accurately adapt to handles of different widths and shapes, effectively avoiding the shaking and accidental falling of objects during the lifting process, improving work efficiency, and greatly reducing the risk of damage to objects due to improper operation, ensuring the continuity of the production line and the quality of the products.

[0033] Specifically, by installing a fixing plate 9 equipped with a magnet block 10 on the pallet tooth 5, the safety and stability of the robot when carrying ferrous objects are greatly enhanced. The magnet block 10 can firmly adsorb the ferrous objects to prevent them from falling due to vibration or bumps during transportation, thereby protecting the objects from damage and reducing safety hazards in the production environment. At the same time, the fixing plate 9 is detachably mounted on the pallet tooth 5 by fixing bolts 8, so that this functional component can be easily removed when not needed, which not only facilitates the maintenance and maintenance of the equipment, but also improves the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] First, the gripper is firmly connected to the robot body through the connector 2 on the main fixed plate 1. Then, according to the work requirements, if it is necessary to grab an object with a handle, start the hook assembly 7, and drive the slider 72 to slide on the guide rail 71 through the feed screw 74, so that the half hook rod 73 is accurately aligned and hooks the handle of the object to achieve stable grabbing. If it is necessary to transport ferrous objects, use the tray tooth 5 to insert it into the bottom of the material tray, and use the magnet block 10 on the fixed plate 9 to generate a strong suction force to firmly adsorb the ferrous objects. During the entire operation process, the lifting cylinder 3 can adjust the height of the gripper as needed to adapt to working environments at different heights. In addition, the seat bearing 4 ensures the stability of the tray tooth 5 during rotation. At this point, the entire workflow is completed.
