[0033] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown in, an embodiment provided by the present invention: A mechanical gripper applicable to the clamping and placement of workpieces of various shapes, including an outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 is used to protect the internal components and provide support and stability for the overall structure. The outer shell 1 is usually made of metal, having sufficient strength and durability. Inside the outer shell 1, a slide rail 2 is fixedly connected. At the top of the slide rail 2, a slide block 3 is slidably connected. The slide block 3 can move along the length direction of the slide rail 2. At the top of the slide block 3, a tray 4 is fixedly connected. By moving the slide block 3, the tray 4 can be driven to move. Inside the tray 4, a rotating assembly for rotating the subsequent workpiece is fixedly connected. The rotating assembly includes a motor 5. The outside of the motor 5 is fixedly connected inside the tray 4. Through the tray 4, the outside of the motor 5 can be fixed to prevent damage. The driving end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected with a rotating block 6. When the motor 5 is started, the rotating block 6 can be driven to rotate. The top of the tray 4 is in contact with the bottom of the rotating block 6, and the rotating block 6 can rotate on the top of the tray 4;

[0035] Refer to Figure 6 - Figure 7, a connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating assembly, and the top of the rotating block 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 7. When the rotating block 6 rotates, it can drive the connecting rod 7 to rotate. The top of the connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to a rotating block 8, and the front end of the rotating block 8 is rotatably connected to a cross bar 9. The connecting rod 7 can drive the rotating block 8 and the cross bar 9 to rotate, and the rotating block 8 can adjust the up and down angles. The front end of the cross bar 9 is fixedly connected to a swivel joint 10, and two adapter rods 11 are rotatably fixed inside the swivel joint 10. The swivel joint 10 can fix the adapter rods 11 to prevent shaking during work. The adjacent ends of the two adapter rods 11 are rotatably connected to a linkage disc 12. The left and right sides of the linkage disc 12 are slidably connected to a pull rod 21. The bottom of the pull rod 21 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 22. The linkage disc 12 can make the pull rod 21 slide inside, and the pull rod 21 can pull the connecting rod 22 to move. The bottom of the connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to a fixing assembly for restricting subsequent workpieces. The fixing assembly includes two linkage blocks 23. When the connecting rod 22 moves, it can drive the linkage blocks 23 to move. The top of the linkage blocks 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 22. The remote ends of the two linkage blocks 23 are both fixedly connected to restricting blocks 24;

[0036] When the linkage blocks 23 move, they can drive the restricting blocks 24 to move. The remote ends of the two restricting blocks 24 are both fixedly connected to springs 25, and the restricting blocks 24 can compress the springs 25. The remote ends of the two springs 25 are both fixedly connected to latch blocks 26, so that the springs 25 pull the latch blocks 26 to move. The outside of the restricting block 24 is slidably connected to a connecting shell 27, and the connecting shell 27 provides a sliding component for the restricting block 24. The outside of the linkage block 23 is slidably connected inside the connecting shell 27. The linkage block 23 can pull the connecting shell 27 to move. The outside of the latch block 26 is slidably connected inside the connecting shell 27. When the connecting shell 27 moves, it can drive the latch block 26 to move;

[0037] Refer to Figure 3 - Figure 5. A protective shell 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the linkage disc 12. The protective shell 13 can be clamped by the clamping block 26 to prevent it from falling. The bottom of the connecting shell 27 is slidably connected inside the protective shell 13. The outer end of the clamping block 26 is engaged with the protective shell 13. Through the engagement of the clamping block 26, quick disassembly and replacement can be achieved, so as to grasp workpieces of various shapes. A clamping assembly for fixing the workpiece is fixedly connected inside the protective shell 13. The clamping assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 14. The top of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected inside the protective shell 13. The hydraulic cylinder 14 can be fixed by the protective shell 13. The driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected with a rack plate 15. The hydraulic cylinder 14 can push the rack plate 15 to move up and down. Two limiting rods 16 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the protective shell 13. One pair of adjacent ends of the limiting rods 16 are rotatably connected with gears 17. The limiting rods 16 can fix the gears 17 at a certain location, and then achieve the rotation effect. Two limiting rods 18 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the protective shell 13. One pair of adjacent ends of the limiting rods 18 are rotatably connected with sector gear blocks 19;

[0038] The limiting rods 18 can fix the sector gear blocks 19 at a certain location. A clamping block 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sector gear block 19. The clamping block 20 can clamp and fix the workpiece. The left and right outer sides of the rack plate 15 are engaged with the two gears 17. When the rack plate 15 moves, it can drive the gears 17 to move. The gears 17 are meshed with the sector gear blocks 19. When the gears 17 are driven, they can drive the sector gear blocks 19 to move, so that the clamping blocks 20 at the bottom move. The rack plate 15 and the two clamping blocks 20 can clamp the workpiece, and the fixing effect of the three-way clamping is more obvious.

[0039] Working principle: When the device needs to clamp an object, the movement of the slider 3 on the surface of the slide rail 2 can drive the whole device to move. At this time, start the motor 5 to drive the rotating block 6 to rotate, so that the device can adjust the clamping angle of the object. Then, use the hydraulic cylinder 14 to push the rack plate 15 to move downward. When the rack plate 15 moves, it can drive the two gears 17 to rotate. When the two gears 17 rotate, they can drive the two sector gear blocks 19 to rotate, so that the clamping blocks 20 connected to the bottom of the sector gear blocks 19 clamp inward. At this time, the inward movement of the bottom of the rack plate 15 and the two clamping blocks 20 can clamp the article in three directions, making the article fixed more firmly.

[0040] When facing items of various shapes and sizes, the connecting rod 22 can be moved to one side by pulling the pull rod 21, so that the linkage block 23 can be pulled. When the linkage block 23 is pulled, the limiting block 24 fixed on one side of the linkage block 23 can drive the spring 25 to move. At this time, the limiting block 24 connected to the other side can drive the clamping block 26 out of the inside of the protective shell 13, so that the protective shell 13 can be replaced and separated, and the internal clamping hand can be replaced.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
