Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of truss robots, and particularly relates to a clamping member for a truss robot. Background Technique
[0002] Truss robots adopt the truss structure commonly used in engineering. Their design consists of many rods connected by nodes to form a grid-like framework, which makes the robots both light and strong. They are widely used in industrial automation, building maintenance, and warehousing logistics fields to provide efficient handling, assembly, inspection, and material handling services.
[0003] During operation, truss robots mainly pick up materials through grippers and do not have a lifting function. Usually, they rely on the friction between the grippers and the materials to fix the materials. To prevent material deformation, the clamping force needs to be adjusted to an appropriate level. However, in a large number of picking tasks, the situation of material dropping may occur, which may require manual assistance, affecting production efficiency and posing safety risks.

[0019] The following describes in detail the specific implementation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0020] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a clamping member for a truss robot provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a clamping member body 1. The clamping member body 1 includes a connecting member 2 fixedly arranged at the upper end of the clamping member body 1 and integrally formed with the clamping member body 1. It further includes:
[0021] A driving unit 3. The driving unit 3 includes a motor base 4 fixedly connected to the connecting member 2. A motor 5 for driving is fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor base 4. A coupling 6 is sleeved outside the main shaft of the motor 5. A rotating shaft 7 is also sleeved inside the coupling 6. A gear 8 is fixedly sleeved outside the rotating shaft 7.

A bearing seat 91 adapted to the size of the bearing 9 is fixedly arranged at the position of the clamping member body 1 corresponding to the bearing 9. Two groups of racks 10 are movably arranged on both sides of the gear 8. A sliding groove 101 adapted to the rack 10 is fixedly arranged at the position of the inner side of the connecting member 2 corresponding to the rack 10. One end of the rack 10 is fixedly provided with a jaw seat 11. Sliders 111 adapted to the sliding groove 101 are arranged on both sides of the upper end of the jaw seat 11.
[0022] A clamping unit 12. The clamping unit 12 includes a movable groove 112 fixedly arranged in the jaw seat 11. A movable block 13 is movably arranged in the movable groove 112. A movable rod 14 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the movable block 13. The movable rod 14 movably penetrates through the jaw seat 11 and extends to the outside and is fixedly connected to a supporting claw 15. A limiting rod 16 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the movable block 13. The upper end of the limiting rod 16 is movably located inside the jaw seat 11. A spring 17 is also movably sleeved outside the limiting rod 16. A claw 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the jaw seat 11. A rubber pad 19 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the claw 18.
[0023] In an embodiment of the present utility model, by rotating the gear 8, the rack 10 meshing with the gear 8 is driven to move, thereby driving the claw seat 11 to open and close. Through the arranged movable rod 14 cooperating with the supporting claw 15, the material to be clamped can be supported from the bottom. With the arranged limiting rod 16 and spring 17, a buffering effect is achieved to prevent the clamping jaws from being damaged by extrusion with the ground.

[0028] In an example of the present utility model, through the provided chute 101, the movement of the rack 10 and the slider 111 is restricted to ensure the stability of the movement, reduce the structural shaking. Through the gear-rack mechanism of the gear 8 and the rack 10, the rotational movement of the gear 8 is converted into the linear movement of the rack 10, which facilitates controlling the movement direction of the jaw seat 11 by controlling the rotation direction of the motor 5.
[0029] As Figure 2 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the movable block 13 is arranged in a block structure, the movable groove 112 is arranged in a rectangular groove, the movable rod 14 is in a strip structure, and the limiting rod 16 is in a columnar structure.
