[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0016] like Figs. 1 to 3As shown, an inner support type mechanical claw includes a mounting cylinder 1, an upper cover plate 2, a lower cover plate 3, a lifting buffer assembly 4, a lifting seat 5, a clamping cylinder 6 and a clamping claw assembly 7. The mounting cylinder 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 11. The upper cover plate 2 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting cylinder 1. The lower cover plate 3 is fixed to the lower end of the mounting cylinder 1. The lifting seat 5 is arranged in the mounting cavity 11. The lower end of the lifting buffer assembly 4 is fixed to the lifting seat 5 and the elastic expansion end is mounted on the upper cover plate 2. The upper end of the clamping cylinder 6 is fixed to the lower end of the lifting seat 5. The lower end of the clamping cylinder 6 is provided with at least three groups of power output ends. The multiple groups of power output ends are uniformly distributed in a ring shape. The power output ends of the clamping cylinder 6 move along the radial direction of the mounting cylinder 1. The clamping claw assembly 7 is arranged in multiple groups and is fixed to the multiple groups of power output ends of the clamping cylinder 6 in one-to-one correspondence. The inner side of the clamping claw assembly 7 is provided with downwardly protruding clamping blocks 72.

[0017] The inner support type mechanical claw of the design is suitable for materials with hole positions. When the material is grabbed, the mechanical hand drives the mechanical claw to move above the material and gradually descend. When the clamping claw assembly 7 contacts the upper end surface of the material, as the mounting cylinder 1 continues to descend, the lifting buffer assembly 4 is compressed, thereby playing a buffering role and avoiding crushing the material. After descending to the position, the clamping blocks 72 correspond to the hole positions of the material. Then, the clamping cylinder 6 drives multiple groups of clamping blocks 72 to move outward at the same time. The multiple groups of clamping blocks 72 are spread outward and clamp the material, thereby completing the grabbing of the material. The advantage of the design is that the material is clamped in an inner support manner, which greatly reduces the volume of the mechanical claw. Moreover, the rigid clamping claw structure can provide reliable clamping force and is suitable for grabbing heavy objects.

[0018] The clamping claw assembly 7 includes a guide plate 71 and a clamping block 72. The guide plate 71 is arranged along the radial direction and the inner end is fixed to the power output end of the clamping cylinder 6.

The arc-shaped plates 31 are fixed below the mounting cylinder 1 and correspond to the adjacent two groups of guide plates 71. The adjacent two groups of arc-shaped plates 31 form a guide groove 32. The guide plate 71 corresponds to the guide groove 32.

[0019] When the material is grabbed, the clamping blocks 72 correspond to the hole positions of the material. The clamping cylinder 6 drives the guide plate 71 to move outward. The guide plate 71 slides in the guide groove 32, thereby making the action of the clamping block 72 smooth.

[0020] The guide plate 71, the clamping block 72 and the arc-shaped plate 31 are all arranged in three groups. They can stably clamp the material and also can save materials to the maximum extent.

[0021] The lifting buffering assembly 4 comprises an adjusting screw 41, a buffering spring 42 and an elastic gasket 43, the upper end of the upper cover plate 2 is provided with a first limiting groove 21, the upper end of the upper cover plate 2 is provided with a T-shaped groove 22, the lower end of the T-shaped groove 22 is communicated with the first limiting groove 21, the upper end of the lifting seat 5 is provided with a second limiting groove 51, the lower end of the lifting seat 5 is provided with a threaded hole 52, the upper end of the threaded hole 52 is communicated with the second limiting groove 51, the upper end of the adjusting screw 41 is provided with a convex ring 411, the lower end of the adjusting screw 41 is sequentially threaded through the T-shaped groove 22, the first limiting groove 21 and the second limiting groove 51 and is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 52, the buffering spring 42 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 41, the upper and lower ends of the buffering spring 42 are respectively located in the first limiting groove 21 and the second limiting groove 51, and the elastic gasket 43 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 41 and corresponds to the space between the convex ring 411 and the T-shaped groove 22.

[0022] When the material is grabbed, the mounting cylinder 1 is lowered and contacts the upper end face of the material after the guide plate 71, the buffering spring 42 is compressed, thereby playing a buffering role, after the claw assembly 7 grabs the material, the mounting cylinder 1 is driven to rise by the manipulator, under the action of the weight, the convex ring 411 gradually enters the T-shaped groove 22, the elastic gasket 43 can avoid the direct collision between the convex ring 411 and the T-shaped groove 22, the lower end of the adjusting screw 41 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 52, by rotating the adjusting screw 41, the height of the adjusting screw 41 relative to the lifting seat 5 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the maximum distance of the claw assembly 7 relative to the mounting cylinder 1 to be lowered, so as to adapt to different production scenes and flexibly adjust.

[0023] The above is not intended to make any limitation on the technical range of the utility model, any modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the utility model to the above embodiment still belongs to the range of the technical scheme of the utility model.
