When the driving parts are started, they drive the rotating rods to rotate, and then drive the connecting arms to rotate. The simultaneous rotation and coordinated operation of multiple groups of connecting arms can drive the grasping plate to move and slightly flip. The movement of the grasping plate drives the grasping cylinder to move, and then drives the suction nozzle to move. The transportation process is as follows: The workpiece is placed on the placement plate. After the grasping plate moves above the workpiece, the grasping cylinder is started to drive the suction nozzle to move. When the suction nozzle moves above the workpiece, it sucks the workpiece. Then, multiple groups of connecting arms are operated simultaneously to drive the grasping plate to move. The movement of the grasping plate drives the suction nozzle that grasps the workpiece to move, thus realizing the transfer of the workpiece. When the workpiece is transferred to the predetermined position, the suction nozzle no longer adsorbs the workpiece, and the workpiece falls, achieving the purpose of transporting the workpiece as a whole. It should be noted that the workpieces transferred by the mechanical gripper will be placed in an orderly manner at fixed positions. Brief Description of the Drawings
