[0024] As Figures 1-3 shown, an underwater robot operation grasping manipulator includes a mounting block 1. A regulating plate 2 is arranged below the mounting block 1. Three first rotating grooves 3 are equidistantly opened on the peripheral side wall of the regulating plate 2. Clamping jaws 4 are rotatably arranged in the three first rotating grooves 3. Connecting rods 5 are fixedly connected to the peripheral side wall of the mounting block 1 at equal intervals. The other ends of the connecting rods 5 are rotatably connected to the middle parts of the clamping jaws 4. A motor groove 6 is opened at the bottom of the mounting block 1. A clamping motor 7 is fixedly arranged in the motor groove 6. The output end of the clamping motor 7 is arranged vertically downward. The output end of the clamping motor 7 is coaxially fixedly connected with a screw 8. A threaded hole 9 is penetrated through the center position of the regulating plate 2. The threaded hole 9 is in threaded cooperation with the screw 8.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to improve the freedom of use and operation of the device, a rotating plate 10 is fixedly arranged on the top end face of the mounting block 1. A rotating block 11 is arranged at the other end of the rotating plate 10. A second rotating groove 12 is opened on the rotating block 11. The rotating plate 10 is rotatably arranged in the second rotating groove 12. A rotating motor 13 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the rotating block 11. The output end of the rotating motor 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 10.

[0026] Further, a telescopic cylinder 14 is provided at one end of the rotating block 11 away from the rotating plate 10, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 11.

[0027] It should be noted that when the grasping manipulator is in use, first adjust the clamping motor 7 to drive the screw rod 8 to rotate reversely, so that the adjusting plate 2 moves downward along the screw rod 8, and then the three clamping jaws 4 open. Then, adjust the telescopic cylinder 14 to extend the clamping jaws 4 to the position of the target object, and start the rotating motor 13 to drive the rotating plate 10 to rotate together to adjust the clamping angle of the clamping jaws 4. Finally, start the clamping motor 7 to drive the screw rod 8 to rotate forward, so that the adjusting plate 2 moves upward along the screw rod 8, and then the three clamping jaws 4 close to realize the grasping of the target object.

[0028] With the above settings, the adjusting plate 2 is arranged below the mounting block 1, three clamping jaws 4 are rotatably arranged equidistantly on the peripheral side wall of the adjusting plate 2, the connecting rods 5 are fixedly connected equidistantly on the peripheral side wall of the mounting block 1, and the other ends of the connecting rods 5 are rotatably connected to the middle parts of the clamping jaws 4. The clamping motor 7 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting block 1, and the screw rod 8 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping motor 7. A screw hole 9 threadedly matched with the screw rod 8 is penetrated and opened at the central position of the adjusting plate 2. By adjusting the clamping motor 7, the target object is clamped. Compared with the prior art, the stability is higher, which is beneficial to the progress of the grasping work.

[0029] At the same time, by arranging the rotating plate 10, the rotating block 11 and the rotating motor 13 above the mounting block 1, the clamping angle of the clamping jaws 4 can be adjusted, thereby further improving the degree of freedom of the device.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, a monitoring head 15 is fixedly arranged on the bottom end surface of the adjusting plate 2.

[0031] Through the setting of the monitoring head 15, the underwater scene can be transmitted to the computer display screen, and then the target object can be observed more intuitively, which is beneficial to the progress of the grasping work.

[0032] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, an anti-slip gasket 16 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the clamping end of the clamping jaw 4. The anti-slip gasket 16 is made of anti-slip rubber material, and a sawtooth groove 17 is opened on the inner wall of the anti-slip gasket 16. The sawtooth groove 17 is transversely opened on the anti-slip gasket 16.

[0033] Through the setting of the anti-slip gasket 16, the friction between the clamping jaw 4 and the target object can be increased, and then the target object can be effectively prevented from falling off, improving the efficiency of the grasping work. Through the opening of the sawtooth groove 17, the friction between the clamping jaw 4 and the target object can be further increased.

[0034] Working principle: When the grasping manipulator is in use, first adjust the clamping motor 7 to drive the screw rod 8 to rotate reversely, so that the adjusting plate 2 moves downward along the screw rod 8, and then the three jaws 4 open. Then, adjust the telescopic cylinder 14 to extend the jaws 4 to the position of the target object, and start the rotating motor 13 to drive the rotating plate 10 to rotate together, so as to adjust the clamping angle of the jaws 4. Finally, start the clamping motor 7 to drive the screw rod 8 to rotate forward, so that the adjusting plate 2 moves upward along the screw rod 8, and then the three jaws 4 close to realize the grasping of the target object.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
