[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to 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. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] The following gives specific embodiments.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4, the utility model provides a glass grasping mechanism, including a robotic arm body 1, a support chassis 2 is connected to the bottom of the robotic arm body 1; a fixing plate 3 is installed on the robotic arm body 1; two sliding frames 4 are slidably connected to the fixing plate 3; a connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 4; a first vacuum suction cup 8 is installed on the connecting plate 5; a first screw rod 7 is threadedly connected to the sliding frame 4; a bidirectional motor 6 is connected to the first screw rod 7; the output shafts at both ends of the bidirectional motor 6 are connected to the two first screw rods 7, and the ends of the two first screw rods 7 away from the bidirectional motor 6 are rotatably connected to the fixing plate 3; a fixing component 14 is installed on the support chassis 2; during operation, the bidirectional motor 6 drives the first screw rods 7 at both ends to rotate, so that the first screw rods 7 rotate inside the fixing plate 3. Furthermore, the two first screw rods 7 drive the sliding frames 4 threadedly connected thereto to extend towards both sides, and the sliding frames 4 slide on the fixing plate 3, thereby driving the first vacuum suction cup 8 on the connecting plate 5 connected thereto to move, and then adjusting the distance between the first vacuum suction cups 8, making it more convenient to grasp the glass; the robotic arm body 1 can achieve precise grasping of the glass through its precise motion control system. By driving the two first screw rods 7 to rotate through the bidirectional motor 6, the sliding frames 4 are driven to slide on the fixing plate 3, realizing flexible adjustment of the distance between the first vacuum suction cups 8, enabling the grasping mechanism to adapt to glasses of different sizes and shapes, and enhancing its adaptability and versatility; during use, the first vacuum suction cup 8 is firmly connected to the sliding frame 4 through the connecting plate 5, which can provide a stable adsorption force when grasping the glass. At the same time, the sliding connection between the sliding frame 4 and the fixing plate 3 and the threaded connection between the first screw rod 7 and the sliding frame 4 ensure the stability and reliability of the mechanism during the grasping process.

[0026] Further, as Figure 4 , 5As shown, the fixing component 14 includes a mounting plate 141; two electric push rods 142 and a second hydraulic telescopic rod 143 are mounted at the bottom of the mounting plate 141; the bottom of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 143 is fixedly connected to a support plate 144, and the bottoms of the two electric push rods 142 are fixedly connected to the same support plate 144; a mounting hole 145 is formed in the support plate 144; an anti-slip pad 146 is mounted at the bottom of the support plate 144; during operation, the electric push rod 142 pushes the support plate 144 to move downward, thereby driving the second hydraulic telescopic rod 143 to move downward, so that the support plate 144 moves to the ground. When the mechanism is not fixed, the support plate 144 is placed on the ground to reduce the overall movement. When installation is required, as described above, an external fixing bolt is then fixed in the mounting hole 145 to fix the entire mechanism; through the coordinated work of the electric push rod 142 and the second hydraulic telescopic rod 143, the mechanism can quickly complete the lifting and fixing process of the support plate 144, which helps to shorten the work preparation time and improve work efficiency. At the same time, the stable support and convenient fixing method also help to reduce accidents and downtime during the operation process.

[0027] Further, as Figure 2 shown, a spring telescopic rod 9 is mounted on the fixing plate 3; a second vacuum suction cup 10 is mounted on the spring telescopic rod 9; the spring telescopic rod 9 is arranged between two sliding frames 4; during operation, the robotic arm body 1 drives the first vacuum suction cup 8 on the fixing plate 3 to adsorb the glass. At the same time, when the first vacuum suction cup 8 adsorbs the glass, the second vacuum suction cup 10 expands and contracts through the spring telescopic rod 9, so that the second vacuum suction cup 10 overlaps on the glass, and then vacuum adsorbs the glass, so that the two first vacuum suction cups 8 and the second vacuum suction cup 10 form a three-point adsorption. Compared with single-point or two-point adsorption, three-point adsorption can more evenly disperse the supporting force on the glass, thereby reducing the shaking and offset of the glass during the movement. At the same time, the stable adsorption state also helps to increase the moving speed of the robotic arm, thereby further improving the production efficiency.

[0028] Further, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, a first hydraulic telescopic rod 13 is installed on the fixed plate 3; a connecting frame 12 is installed on the first hydraulic telescopic rod 13; the connecting frame 12 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 5; a motor plate 11 is installed on the bidirectional motor 6; one side of the motor plate 11 is installed on the fixed plate 3; when adjusting the distance between the two first vacuum suction cups 8, the connecting plate 5 moves and drives the first hydraulic telescopic rod 13 to expand and contract simultaneously through the connecting frame 12. When the bidirectional motor 6 drives the first screw rod 7 to rotate to adjust the distance between the two first vacuum suction cups 8, the connecting plate 5 will move accordingly. At this time, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 13 can automatically expand and contract with the movement of the connecting plate 5, providing an additional supporting force for the sliding frame 4 and the connecting plate 5. This supporting force helps to reduce the shaking or deviation caused by the movement of the sliding frame 4, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire grasping mechanism; the motor plate 11 fixes the bidirectional motor 6 to reduce the shaking or movement during its operation.

[0029] Further, as Figure 1 shown, a front protection plate 15 and a rear protection plate 16 are installed on the support chassis 2; the front protection plate 15 and the rear protection plate 16 are arranged in front of and behind the robotic arm body 1; during operation, the front protection plate 15 and the rear protection plate 16 can prevent foreign objects from colliding with the robotic arm from the front and rear. In the working environment of grasping glass, there may be safety hazards such as flying fragments and falling objects. The presence of the front and rear protection plates can effectively reduce the risk of damage to the robotic arm caused by these safety hazards.

[0030] Further, as Figure 1 shown, moving wheels 18 are installed at the bottom of the support chassis 2; two lighting lamps 17 are installed on the front protection plate 15. During operation, the moving wheels 18 can move the entire mechanism, and the lighting lamps 17 provide lighting when moving the mechanism at night, facilitating the movement of the entire mechanism.

[0031] Working principle: During operation, the bidirectional motor 6 drives the screw rod 1 at both ends to rotate, causing the screw rod 1 to rotate inside the fixed plate 3. Then, the two screw rods 1 drive the sliding frames 4 threadedly connected thereto to extend towards both sides. The sliding frames 4 slide on the fixed plate 3, thereby driving the vacuum suction cups 1 on the connecting plates 5 connected thereto to move, and then adjusting the distance between the vacuum suction cups 1, making it more convenient to grasp the glass; the robotic arm body 1 can achieve precise grasping of the glass through its precise motion control system. By driving the two screw rods 1 to rotate through the bidirectional motor 6, the sliding frames 4 are driven to slide on the fixed plate 3, realizing flexible adjustment of the distance between the vacuum suction cups 1, enabling the grasping mechanism to adapt to glasses of different sizes and shapes, and enhancing its adaptability and versatility; during use, the vacuum suction cups 1 are firmly connected to the sliding frames 4 through the connecting plates 5, capable of providing a stable adsorption force when grasping the glass. At the same time, the sliding connection between the sliding frames 4 and the fixed plate 3 and the threaded connection between the screw rods 1 and the sliding frames 4 ensure the stability and reliability of the mechanism during the grasping process; during operation, the electric push rod 142 pushes the support plate 144 downward, thereby driving the hydraulic telescopic rod 2 143 downward, causing the support plate 144 to move to the ground. The anti-slip pad 146 at the bottom supports the support plate 144 to be placed on the ground to reduce the overall movement of the mechanism when it is not fixed. When installation is required, as described above, the external fixing bolts are then fixed in the installation holes 145 to fix the entire mechanism; through the coordinated operation of the electric push rod 142 and the hydraulic telescopic rod 2 143, the mechanism can quickly complete the lifting and fixing process of the support plate 144, which helps to shorten the work preparation time and improve work efficiency. At the same time, the stable support and convenient fixing method also help to reduce accidents and downtime during the operation process; during operation, the robotic arm body 1 drives the vacuum suction cups 1 on the fixed plate 3 to adsorb the glass. At the same time, when the vacuum suction cups 1 adsorb the glass, the vacuum suction cups 2 10 expand and contract through the spring telescopic rod 9, causing the vacuum suction cups 2 10 to overlap on the glass, and then performing vacuum adsorption on the glass, so that the two vacuum suction cups 1 and the vacuum suction cups 2 10 form a three-point adsorption. Compared with single-point or two-point adsorption, three-point adsorption can more evenly disperse the supporting force on the glass, thereby reducing the shaking and offset of the glass during the movement process; when adjusting the distance between the two vacuum suction cups 1, the connecting plate 5 moves and simultaneously drives the hydraulic telescopic rod 1 13 to expand and contract through the connecting frame 12. When the bidirectional motor 6 drives the screw rod 1 to rotate and then adjusts the distance between the two vacuum suction cups 1, the connecting plate 5 will move accordingly. At this time, the hydraulic telescopic rod 1 13 can automatically expand and contract with the movement of the connecting plate 5, providing an additional supporting force for the sliding frame 4 and the connecting plate 5. This supporting force helps to reduce the shaking or offset generated due to the movement of the sliding frame 4, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire grasping mechanism.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and all these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
