[0002] In modern industrial production, the treatment and sorting of waste are important links. With the continuous development and progress of industry, the requirements for the efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability of waste sorting are getting higher and higher. Traditional waste sorting methods often rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to problems such as misjudgment and missed inspection. At the same time, they also face challenges such as high labor costs and heavy work intensity. In order to improve the efficiency and quality of waste sorting, automatic sorting manipulators have emerged. However, the grasping structures of existing sorting manipulators are usually fixedly installed on the robotic arm. When facing waste of different shapes and sizes, a single fixed grasping structure is often difficult to meet the sorting requirements of various wastes, which results in poor practicability of existing sorting manipulators when facing diverse wastes. To solve the deficiencies of the prior art, we propose a waste automatic sorting manipulator with a replaceable grasping structure. Summary of the Utility Model
