A positioning ring 18 is fixedly connected between the support rod 16 and the positioning rod 15, and the support rod 16 and the positioning rod 15 are perpendicular to each other.

[0026] The following describes in detail the specific configuration and function of this embodiment. The base 1 is connected to the robotic arm and is used as a fixed structure of the end effector. The base 1 is connected to the rotating ring 2 above for adjusting the direction of the actuator. The supporting plate 5 is used to determine the position of the adsorption head. The overall shape is end-shaped to adsorb objects. The supporting plate 5 is connected to the protective shell 3 through a protective film 4. The presence of the protective film 4 can ensure that the supporting plate 5 can rotate normally, and the protective shell 3 can also protect other internal structures.

[0027] A first connecting block 11 and a second connecting block 17 are provided between the carrying plate 5 and the partition plate 10. The first connecting block 11 and the second connecting block 17 are in opposite directions to ensure that the carrying plate 5 has sufficient space for movement. When in use, the driven gear 12 is driven by rotating the pinion 13. When the driven gear 12 rotates, it drives the first connecting block 11, thereby changing the angle of the carrying plate 5.

[0028] A positioning rod 15 is connected between the two first connecting blocks 11. The positioning rod 15 can determine the rotation center of the first connecting block 11, and the positioning rod 15 is connected to the support rod 16 through the positioning ring 18, which can support the positioning rod 15 without affecting the setting of the trachea. The support rod 16 is connected to the second connecting block 17 on the upper surface of the partition plate 10, and the partition plate 10 is installed in the protective shell 3. Therefore, the overall structure can ensure that the first connecting block 11 can rotate normally and ensure the stability of the supporting plate 5.

[0029] Example 2: Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower surface of the partition plate 10 is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 9, the other end of the vertical rod 9 is fixedly connected to a base plate 8, and a bevel gear 7 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base plate 8.

The presence of the protective film 4 can ensure that the carrier plate 5 can rotate normally, and the protective shell 3 can also protect other internal structures;

[0032] When the orientation of the carrier plate 5 needs to be adjusted, the driven gear 12 is driven by rotating the pinion 13. When the driven gear 12 rotates, it drives the first connecting block 11 to change the angle of the carrier plate 5. When the gear shaft 6 rotates, it drives the bottom plate 8 through the bevel gear 7 to achieve the purpose of changing the direction of the carrier plate 5.

[0033] The partition plate 10 is connected to the base plate 8 through a vertical rod 9. The space between the partition plate 10 and the base plate 8 can be used to place various electronic devices required for the actuator. The partition plate 10 is installed in the protective shell 3.
