Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manipulators, in particular to a battery gripper. Background Art

[0002] A robot arm is an automatic operating device that can imitate certain movements and functions of human hands and arms to grasp, move objects or operate tools according to a fixed procedure.

[0003] When some existing manipulators grasp an object, they mainly use two clamping plates to clamp the object on the left and right sides, thereby clamping and fixing the object.

[0004] The battery is an energy storage element that comes in a variety of shapes, most of which are cubic structures. However, in order to adapt to some narrow carriers, many batteries are made into cylindrical shapes. However, when some existing robots clamp cylindrical objects, the surface of the cylinder is relatively smooth, so the clamping plate is prone to slipping during the clamping process, resulting in clamping failure and posing certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery gripper to solve the problem of the clamping plate easily slipping when clamping a cylindrical surface, thus causing clamping failure and low practicality. To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a battery gripper comprising a device body, a control box fixedly mounted on the top of the device body, an auxiliary box fixedly connected to the right side of the control box, and a clamping assembly disposed below the auxiliary box;

The setting of the clamping assembly is such that during use, the staff first lowers the lifting column to a suitable position, and then starts the stepper motor to drive the rotating disk at its transmission end to rotate. Afterwards, due to the adaptation of the clamping columns to the arc grooves, the clamping columns can be driven to move inward. When the clamping columns move inward, they can drive the clamping columns and the buffer pads to be clamped and fixed. By completely covering the cylindrical surface with multiple clamping columns and buffer pads, the clamping surface of the object is effectively increased, thereby improving the clamping force of the object, effectively improving the practicality and clamping stability, and facilitating the use of the staff.
