It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0029] The tilt sensor 28 can be used to detect the degree of inclination of the connecting plate 2 7. The detection plate 9 can be used to support and reinforce one side of the contact sensor 15. The position detection of the clamping jaw 12 can be achieved through the contact sensor 15, so as to determine whether the clamping jaw 12 has a position offset. The clamping jaw 12 and the connecting rod 26 can rotate synchronously on the side of the extension member 19. The extension member 19 can be used to support the connecting rod 26 when the connecting rod 26 rotates. The fixing plate 20 can be used to support and reinforce one side of the motor 10. The motor 10 can be used as a power source to drive the bevel gear 2 14 to rotate, and then the bevel gear 2 14 is engaged with the bevel gear 1 13. The rotation of bevel gear 13 is realized to adjust the tilt angle of the clamping jaw 12. The detection block 27 is installed on one side of the clamping jaw 12. One side of the contact sensor 25 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 21. The connecting block 21 can be used to support one side of the contact sensor 25. The overlap of the contact sensor 25 and the detection block 27 can assist in judging the adjusted position of the clamping jaw 12, thereby ensuring the verticality of the clamping jaw 12. The connection between the cylinder 16 and the connecting block 21 can be realized through the auxiliary rod 22, and then the distance between the connecting block 21 and the cylinder 16 can be adjusted through the cylinder 16 to assist the clamping jaw 12 in clamping the object.
[0030] Example 2: Figure 4 - Figure 6 As shown, one side of the connecting block 21 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 20, one side of the fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to a connecting piece 17, one side of the connecting piece 17 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 24, one end of the electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to a limiting piece 18, one side of the limiting piece 18 is plugged into the clamping jaw 12, one end of the clamping jaw 12 is fixedly connected to a guide block, one side of the guide block is engaged with an anti-slip pad 11, one side of the anti-slip pad 11 is engaged with the clamping jaw 12, and a limiting bolt 23 is threadedly connected between the anti-slip pad 11 and the clamping jaw 12, a protective cover 1 is installed on the top of the base 2, one side of the protective cover 1 is connected to a support arm 5 by bolts, one side of the support arm 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 13, a driving structure is installed inside the support arm 5, an electric push rod 8 is embedded in the main board 4, one end of the electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the extension block 6, and one side of the extension block 6 is fixedly connected to the detection plate 9.
[0031] The connecting block 21 can be used to support one side of the fixed plate 20. The connection between the connecting piece 17 and the fixed plate 20 can support the installation and use of the electric push rod 24, so that the electric push rod 24 can be used to drive the limit member 18 to rise and fall, change the use height of the limit member 18, and then control the connection or separation of the limit member 18 and the clamping jaw 12. When the limit member 18 is plugged into the clamping jaw 12, the limiting effect of the clamping jaw 12 can be improved. The guide block is installed on one side of the clamping jaw 12 to guide the installation of the anti-slip pad 11 on one side of the guide block, thereby increasing the contact area between the clamping jaw 12 and the anti-slip pad 11, thereby improving the connection between the clamping jaw 12 and the anti-slip pad 11. The stability of the connection can be achieved by locking the anti-slip pad 11 and the clamping claw 12 through the limit bolt 23, reducing the looseness of the anti-slip pad 11 during use, and the protective cover 1 can be used to shield and protect the top of the base 2. The connection between the connecting disk 1 3 and the base 2 can be achieved through the support arm 5. The driving structure installed inside the support arm 5 can drive the connection disk 2 7 to rotate on one side of the connection disk 1 3, rotating 90° each time, thereby changing the use direction of the main board 4, ensuring that the main board 4 is perpendicular to the support arm 5, and ensuring the verticality of the end of the robotic arm. The electric push rod 1 8 can be used to achieve the connection between the main board 4 and the extension block 6, so that the distance between the main boards 4 on both sides can be adjusted.
[0032] The method of use and working principle of this device are as follows: first, the electric push rod 18 is used to adjust the distance between the main board 4 and the extension block 6, and then the cylinder 16 is used to drive the auxiliary rod 22 and the connecting block 21 to move, so as to move the clamping jaw 12 to the side close to the inner wall of the detection plate 9. Two groups of contact sensors 15 are installed on the inner wall of the detection plate 9, and each group of contact sensors 15 has two. When the clamping jaw 12 contacts the contact sensor 15, the two groups of contact sensors 15 do not send signals to the control terminal at the same time, which means that the clamping jaw 12 is offset and is in a non-vertical state. Then the motor 10 is used to drive the bevel gear 2 14 to rotate, and the meshing of the bevel gear 2 14 and the bevel gear 13 is used to drive the bevel gear 13 to rotate, and the bevel gear 13 drives the connecting rod 26 and the clamping jaw. 12 rotates to adjust the inclination of the clamping jaw 12 until the detection block 27 on one side of the clamping jaw 12 overlaps with the contact sensor 25, and the contact sensor 25 sends a signal to the control terminal. At this time, the clamping jaw 12 completes the position calibration, and then the electric push rod 24 is used to drive the limiter 18 to move down, and the bottom of the limiter 18 is plugged into the clamping jaw 12 to limit the position of the clamping jaw 12. Then, the cylinder 16 is used to adjust the distance between the two clamping jaws 12 to achieve clamping of the object. The inclination of the connecting disk 2 7 can be detected by the inclination sensor 28. When the driving structure inside the support arm 5 drives the connecting disk 2 7 to rotate, the rotation angle can be obtained by the inclination sensor 28 and then transmitted to the external control terminal, so that when the main board 4 is tilted, it can be discovered and corrected in time;
[0033] If the anti-slip pad 11 is severely worn and needs to be replaced, the limiting bolt 23 can be removed and the anti-slip pad 11 can be moved to a side away from the clamping jaw 12 to separate the anti-slip pad 11 from the clamping jaw 12 .
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
