[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a gripper of an industrial robot, comprising a gripper mechanism 1, the gripper mechanism 1 comprising a mounting plate 11 and a gripping wall 14, one end of the gripping wall 14 being provided with a linkage mechanism 2 and a gripping plate mechanism 3;

[0026] The gripping plate mechanism 3 includes a clamping plate 31 and an expanding clamping plate 36. The clamping plate 31 is used to increase the contact surface with the clamped object after rotation, and the expanding clamping plate 36 is used to clamp small objects.

[0027] The linkage mechanism 2 includes a drive box 21 and a linkage box 24 . The drive box 21 is used to cooperate with the clamping plate 31 , and the linkage box 24 is used to drive the expansion clamping plate 36 .

[0028] In a further embodiment, one end of the clamping plate 31 close to the grabbing wall 14 is rotatably connected to the grabbing wall 14 via a shaft, and the clamping plate 31 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 34 via the shaft, and the worm gear 34 is rotatably connected to the interior of the drive box 21 .

[0029] In this embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on one side of the gripping wall 14 close to the clamping plate 31 to limit the rotation angle of the clamping plate 31 to 105 degrees; the clamping plate 31 is rotatably connected to the limiting groove via a connecting block and an axis.

[0030] In a further embodiment, the drive box 21 and the linkage box 24 are respectively located on both sides of the telescopic rod 13 and are fixedly connected. A drive motor 22 is installed above the drive box 21, and a worm 23 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 22. The worm 23 is rotatably connected to the inside of the drive box 21, and the worm 23 cooperates with the worm gear 34.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the driving motor 22 is in operation, the worm 23 can be used to cause the clamping plate 31 to rotate around the worm gear 34 .

[0032] In a further embodiment, the clamping plate 31 is provided with a sliding groove 33, and the sliding block 35 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 33. The inside of the sliding groove 33 is also rotatably connected to a screw rod 37, which passes through the threaded connection sliding block 35. The expansion clamping plate 36 is fixedly connected above the sliding block 35, and a gasket 32 ​​is installed below the clamping plate 31.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the clamping plate 31 rotates ninety degrees around the worm gear 34 , the gasket 32 ​​can clamp the edge of the rectangular object, thereby making the clamping more stable.

[0034] In a further embodiment, one end of the screw rod 37 is fixedly connected to a linkage gear 38, and the linkage gear 38 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 31. A servo motor 25 is installed above the linkage box 24, and a drive gear 26 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 25. The drive gear 26 is located below the linkage box 24, and the drive gear 26 is used to cooperate with the linkage gear 38.

[0035] In this embodiment, a notch is provided in the clamping plate 31 at the linkage gear 38, and the notch allows part of the linkage gear 38 to be located outside the clamping plate 31. Therefore, when the clamping plate 31 rotates one hundred and five degrees with the worm gear 34 as the center, the linkage gear 38 will engage with the drive gear 26. At this time, the operation of the servo motor 25 can cause the sliding block 35 to move with the expansion clamping plate 36 through the linkage gear 38 and the screw rod 37, thereby shortening the original clamping blind area.

[0036] In a further embodiment, a hydraulic cylinder 12 is installed above the mounting plate 11, and a telescopic rod 13 is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 12. The telescopic rod 13 passes through the mounting plate 11, and one end of the grabbing wall 14 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 11, and the telescopic rod 13 is movably connected to the grabbing wall 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, the gripper mechanism 1 is a gripper in the prior art. When the hydraulic cylinder 12 fully extends the telescopic rod 13, the angle between the two gripping walls 14 is thirty degrees; when the clamping plate 31 rotates to be horizontal with the ground, the angle between the gasket 32 ​​and the gripping wall 14 is seventy-five degrees, which is also the maximum rotation angle of the clamping plate 31, that is, the clamping plate 31 can rotate one hundred and five degrees with the worm gear 34 as the center.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When the hydraulic cylinder 12 is in operation, the two gripping walls 14 can be caused to perform a shearing motion through the telescopic rod 13, so that the gripping plate mechanism 3 can reliably close the two sides of the clamped object. At this time, the drive motor 22 is operated through the external control device, thereby causing the clamping plate 31 to rotate as a whole around the rotation connection of the worm gear 34 through the transmission of the worm 23 and the worm gear 34, thereby allowing the gasket 32 ​​to contact the surface of the rectangular object, thereby increasing the contact surface and making the clamping process more stable.

[0040] When it is necessary to clamp small objects, the hydraulic cylinder 12 can be operated to fully extend the telescopic rod 13, and then the clamping plate 31 can be rotated with the worm gear 34 through the operation of the drive motor 22 until the two clamping plates 31 are in a horizontal state. At this time, the linkage gear 38 will engage with the drive gear 26, and the servo motor 25 can be operated through the control device to rotate the drive gear 26 with the linkage box 24, thereby allowing the sliding block 35 to slide with the expansion clamping plate 36 within the limited range of the slide groove 33, so that small objects can be clamped.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
