Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of robot grippers, in particular to a robot gripper with an adjustable gripper. Background Technique

[0002] In the field of robots, a robot gripper is an end effector installed at the end of a robot to enable the robot to grasp objects, and the robot gripper can grasp an object through a driver.

[0003] However, the length of the existing robot gripper is fixed. When grasping a smaller object, the robot gripper can easily complete the grasping. However, when grasping a larger object, since the length of the robot gripper cannot be adjusted, the contact area between the robot gripper and the object is too small, making it difficult to stably grasp, and the object is likely to fall during the grasping process. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a robot gripper with an adjustable gripper to solve the problem that the length of the robot gripper cannot be adjusted as mentioned in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A robot gripper with an adjustable gripper, comprising:

[0006] A robot arm, inside which a toothed ring is arranged, and a limiting component is installed above the toothed ring;

[0007] An adjusting component, which includes a toothed ring, a gear meshes with the inner wall of the toothed ring, a lead screw is connected below the gear, a nut pair is connected to the outer wall of the lead screw, a moving plate is arranged on the outer wall of the nut pair, and a base plate is arranged on the outer wall of the moving plate.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting disc, a limiting rod meshes above the limiting disc, a connecting rod is connected above the limiting rod, a spring is arranged around the connecting rod, and a housing is arranged around the spring.

[0009] Preferably, the toothed ring is rotatably connected to the robot arm, and the lead screw is fixedly connected to the gear.

[0010] Preferably, the nut pair is fixedly connected to the moving plate, and the moving plate is slidably connected to the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting disc is fixedly connected to the toothed ring, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the limiting rod.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting rod is slidably connected to the robot arm, and the housing is fixedly connected to the robot arm.

[0013] Preferably, both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the housing and the limiting rod respectively.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) Through the setting of the adjusting component, the novel robot gripper can rotate the toothed ring from the outside of the robot arm according to the size of the object to be grasped. The toothed ring drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the lead screw to rotate, the lead screw drives the nut pair to move, and the nut pair drives the moving plate to move downward, so that the total length of the moving plate and the base plate increases, the length of the gripper is increased, the practicability is improved, it is convenient for the gripper to grasp larger objects, and the object is prevented from falling during the grasping process.

[0016] (2) Through the setting of the limiting component, when the base plate grasps an object, the base plate will be driven by the actuator of the robot arm to move closer to each other. The limiting rod can be inserted into the limiting disc to fix the position of the limiting disc. When the toothed ring needs to be rotated, the connecting rod can be lifted, and the connecting rod drives the limiting rod to move upward, which does not affect the rotation of the limiting disc and the toothed ring. After the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting disc, the limiting disc can be limited, and then the toothed ring can be limited, so as to avoid the position deviation of the toothed ring caused by the slight vibration generated by the operation of the robot arm, resulting in the inability of the gear to mesh with the toothed ring when the base plate moves back.
