[0027] The present utility model provides a kind of Figures 1-4 gripper device as shown, which can be compatible with different working conditions and different specifications of steel shaft workpieces, and includes

[0028] a gripper base plate 16 and two gripper mechanisms mounted on the gripper base plate 16. The gripper base plate 16 is U-shaped, and the two gripper mechanisms are mounted on both sides of the U-shaped gripper base plate 16, so that the two gripper mechanisms can simultaneously clamp the shaft workpiece. The gripper mechanism includes a locking cylinder 18, a fixed finger 19 fixed on the gripper base plate 16, and a moving finger 23 mounted on the driving end of the locking cylinder 18 and moving relative to the fixed finger 19. Here, the locking cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the cylinder mounting plate 27 by bolts, and the cylinder mounting plate 27 is fixedly mounted on the gripper base plate 16 by bolts to complete the fixation of the locking cylinder 18. A slider mounting plate 24 is fixedly mounted on the top of the moving finger 23 by bolts. The output end of the locking cylinder 18 is connected to the slider mounting plate 24 through a driving rod 26. Specifically, the end of the driving rod 26 connected to the mounting plate 24 is a Y-shaped joint. The mounting plate 24 is placed into the Y-shaped joint, and then the two are fixed together by bolts passing through the Y-shaped joint and the mounting plate 24. A slider 25 is fixedly connected to the slider mounting plate 24 by bolts. The slider 25 is limited on the guide rail 28 and slides along the guide rail 28, and the guide rail 28 is fixedly mounted on the gripper base plate 16 by bolts.

[0029] In order to firmly grip shaft-like workpieces, a finger patch one 20 is fixed to the fixed finger 19 by means of bolts, and a finger patch two 21 is fixed to the moving finger 23. Specifically, the moving finger 23 is provided with a through opening, and there are corresponding bumps on the back of the finger patch two 21. During installation, the bumps are inserted into the opening of the moving finger 23, and the two are fixed together by passing a shoulder screw 22 through the moving finger 23 and the bumps. When gripping shaft-like workpieces, the finger patch one 20 and the finger patch two 21 are in contact with the shaft-like workpiece. The finger patch one 20 and the finger patch two 21 are set in a V shape, which fits better with the surface of the shaft-like workpiece and the gripping is more firm. In addition, two reinforcing ribs 17 are installed on the other surface of the gripper base plate 16, and proximity sensors are installed on each reinforcing rib 17 to detect shaft-like workpieces through the sensors.

[0030] A hollow support column 3, one end of the support column 3 is fixedly connected to the gripper base plate 16 by bolts through a mounting ear 2, a positioning sleeve 4 is installed at the other end of the support column 3, a connecting column 5 is integrally formed on the side of the support column 3, and a mounting plate 7 is also integrally formed at the end of the connecting column 5. Floating components 8 are installed at the four top corners of the mounting plate 7, and the other end of the floating components 8 is connected to a magnetic gripper connecting seat 9. The floating components 8 drive the magnetic gripper connecting seat 9 to move back and forth. Four limit blocks 12 are fixed on the mounting plate 7 to limit the moving distance of the magnetic gripper connecting seat 9. The side of the connecting column 5 is also connected to the mounting plate 7 through a reinforcing plate 6 for reinforcement. A magnetic gripper 11 is fixedly connected to the magnetic gripper connecting seat 9, and two upper and lower rows of magnetic attraction sheets 10 are fixed on the surface of the magnetic gripper 11, with 6 magnetic attraction sheets 10 in each row. The thickness of the magnetic attraction sheets 10 gradually increases outward along the horizontal center line of the magnetic gripper 11. In this way, the two rows of magnetic attraction sheets 10 also form a V shape, which fits better with the surface of the shaft-like workpiece. The magnetic attraction sheets 10 are lifting electro-permanent magnets.

[0031] The floating component 8 includes an oil-free bushing 29, a guide post 31 passing through the oil-free bushing 29 and connected to the magnetic gripper connecting seat 9, and a compression spring 30 arranged between the magnetic gripper connecting seat 9 and the oil-free bushing 29. The oil-free bushing 29 passes through the mounting plate 7, and the end of the guide post 31 away from the mounting plate 7 is provided with a limit block to prevent it from passing through the oil-free bushing 29. When gripping shaft-like workpieces, the magnetic attraction sheets 10 suck the shaft-like workpieces. At this time, the magnetic gripper connecting seat 9 will be squeezed, so that the guide post 31 moves towards the mounting plate 7. After gripping, under the action of the compression spring 30, the magnetic gripper connecting seat 9 moves in the reverse direction and returns to its original state.

[0032] It also includes a relay box 1, a photoelectric sensor 13 and a profile sensor 14. The photoelectric sensor 13 and the profile sensor 14 are both installed on a sensor mounting plate 15, and the sensor mounting plate 15 is bolted to the mounting plate 7 to assist in positioning and working during operation, which are all conventional technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] When the gripper device compatible with steel shaft workpieces of different working conditions and specifications is in use, when using the pneumatic gripper assembly to grasp the shaft workpiece, specifically, the shaft workpiece is placed between the moving finger 23 and the fixed finger 19. At this time, the locking cylinder 18 drives the moving finger 23 to move towards the fixed finger 19 until the finger patch two 21 and the finger patch one 20 clamp the shaft workpiece. Conversely, the blanking is completed. When using the magnetic gripper assembly to grasp the shaft workpiece, specifically, when the shaft workpiece adheres to the magnetic sheet 10, after being powered on, the magnetic sheet 10 generates magnetism to suck the shaft workpiece to complete the grasping. After power-off, the magnetism of the magnetic sheet 10 disappears and the blanking is carried out.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
