To ensure the connection stability between the first connecting seat 30 and the second connecting seat 31, a suction cylinder is further provided in the second connecting seat 31. By providing the suction cylinder, when the female plug 311 and the male plug 301 are in limit, the suction cylinder can suck air to drive the piston cover in the limiting projection 310 to push inward, so that the steel balls on the inner side of the piston cover can abut and lock with the male plug 301, so that the male plug 301 and the female plug 311 are fixed to each other, and further the first connecting seat 30 and the second connecting seat 31 are fixedly connected to each other, and the robotic hand 2 and the robotic arm 1 are fixedly connected to each other. When it is necessary to detach the robotic hand 2 from the robotic arm 1, only need to make the suction cylinder deflate to make the piston cover retract. In this way, the male plug 301 and the female plug 311 are loose. Just drive the robotic arm 1 to move to separate the first connecting seat 30 and the second connecting seat 31, so that the robotic hand 2 is detached from the robotic arm 1. Therefore, when facing different application scenarios and needing to replace the robotic hand 2 of different types and sizes, at this time, by using the first connecting seat 30 on the robotic arm 1 to connect with the second connecting seat 31 on other robotic hands 2 again, the quick and automatic switching installation of the robotic hand 2 can be realized, without manual participation, thus greatly improving the work efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, air pipe interfaces 32 are provided on both the first connection seat 30 and the second connection seat 31. The air pipe interfaces 32 are used to connect to the suction cylinder to supply air and deflate the suction cylinder.

[0028] In this embodiment, the second connection seat 31 is further provided with a limiting port 312. The robotic hand 2 is provided with a connecting chuck 20, and the connecting chuck 20 is provided with a limiting post 21.
