Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of installation technology, and more particularly to a gripping mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the handling and installation of heat sinks is a crucial step in the assembly of server products. Current methods primarily rely on manual operation, where operators manually pick up and install the heat sinks onto the corresponding server components (such as GPUs). However, with the improvement of server performance and the increase in cooling requirements, the size and weight of heat sinks have also increased significantly. For example, some heat sinks can reach 160 mm in length, 100 mm in width, and 130 mm in height, with a corresponding increase in weight. The installation of such large and heavy heat sinks places higher demands on operators.
[0003] As the weight of the heatsink increases, operators are more prone to losing their balance during handling and installation, increasing the risk of the heatsink slipping from their hands and falling. Once the heatsink falls off, it may not only damage itself but also harm other sensitive components inside the server, especially the valuable GPU. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a gripping mechanism to at least solve the problem in the related art where operators are prone to hand instability during the gripping and installation of radiators, which can even cause the radiators to slip from their hands and fall.
[0005] This application provides a gripping mechanism, including: a carrying member; a rotary drive member rotatably disposed on the carrying member; and a clamping member spaced apart along the width direction of the carrying member and located on a first side and a second side of the carrying member opposite to each other, with at least a portion of the clamping member extending to a third side of the carrying member to form a gripping space with the carrying member for gripping a workpiece to be gripped; wherein the rotary drive member is at least drivenly connected to the portion of the clamping member located on the first side of the carrying member, so that the clamping member clamps or releases the workpiece to be gripped under the rotation of the rotary drive member.
[0006] Furthermore, the clamping component also includes a movable clamping part, which is located on the first side of the bearing component. The rotary drive component is driven to connect with the movable clamping part to drive the movable clamping part to reciprocate so as to adjust the size of the gripping space.
[0007] Furthermore, the clamping component also includes: a fixed clamping part, which is disposed opposite to the movable clamping part and located on the second side of the bearing component. The fixed clamping part is fixedly connected to the bearing component to form a gripping space with the movable clamping part.
[0008] Further, the rotary drive component includes: a rotary part, at least a portion of which is connected to the bearing component and rotatably disposed relative to the bearing component about a first predetermined axis; a drive part, which includes a main drive member and an auxiliary drive member, a first end of the main drive member being connected to at least a portion of the rotary part and rotatably disposed relative to the rotary part about a second predetermined axis, a second end of the main drive member being hinged to the first end of the auxiliary drive member, and a second end of the auxiliary drive member being connected to the portion of the clamping component located on the first side of the bearing component. The bearing component is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the auxiliary drive member. When at least a portion of the rotary part rotates about the first predetermined axis, the main drive member drives the auxiliary drive member to slide along the limiting groove, thereby driving the portion of the clamping member located on the first side of the bearing component to move. The first predetermined axis and the second predetermined axis are parallel to each other and spaced apart.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotating part includes a rotary wrench, a rotating block, a threaded end, and a first connecting pin. The rotating block is threadedly connected to the bearing component. The end of the rotary wrench near the workpiece to be gripped is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded end is connected to the rotating block and is located at the end of the rotating block near the rotary wrench for threaded connection with the rotary wrench. The rotating block is provided with a first pin hole. The first connecting pin is rotatably passed through the rotary wrench and the first pin hole to limit the relative rotation between the rotary wrench and the rotating block, so as to drive the rotating block to rotate around a first predetermined axis by rotating the rotary wrench.
[0010] Furthermore, the rotary drive component includes a first rotary limiting pin and a second rotary limiting pin. The supporting component has two pin mounting holes spaced apart. The two pin mounting holes are spaced apart circumferentially along the outer peripheral surface of the rotary wrench. The first end of the first rotary limiting pin and the first end of the second rotary limiting pin are respectively inserted into the two pin mounting holes. A limiting groove is provided at the end of the rotary wrench near the rotating block. The limiting groove is an arc-shaped groove extending circumferentially along the outer peripheral surface of the rotary wrench. The second ends of the first rotary limiting pin and the second rotary limiting pin are both located in the limiting groove to limit the extreme position of the rotary wrench when it rotates relative to the supporting component.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating block is provided with a second pin hole, and the rotary drive component also includes a second connecting pin, which is rotatably disposed through the second pin hole and the first end of the main drive component; and / or, the auxiliary drive component is provided with a third pin hole, and the rotary drive component also includes a third connecting pin, which is rotatably disposed through the third pin hole and the second end of the main drive component.
[0012] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism also includes a movable guide shaft assembly, which includes a linear bearing and a guide shaft. The linear bearing is disposed within the bearing component, and the guide shaft is fixedly connected to the movable clamping part. The connection between the guide shaft and the linear bearing limits the movement position of the movable clamping part.
[0013] Furthermore, the movable clamping part is provided with a first locking member, which is located on the side of the movable clamping part closer to the workpiece to be gripped, so as to engage with the first groove of the workpiece to be gripped; and / or, the fixed clamping part is provided with a second locking member, which is located on the side of the fixed clamping part closer to the workpiece to be gripped, so as to engage with the second groove of the workpiece to be gripped.
[0014] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism also includes: a handle disposed on the side of the carrier component away from the workpiece to be gripped, for extracting the gripping mechanism; and / or a cover plate disposed on the side of the rotary drive component near the workpiece to be gripped and connected to the carrier component to seal the rotary drive component.
[0015] The gripping mechanism of this application includes: a carrying member; a rotary drive member rotatably disposed on the carrying member; and a clamping member spaced apart along the width direction of the carrying member and located on a first side and a second side opposite to each other on the carrying member, with at least a portion of the clamping member extending to a third side of the carrying member to form a gripping space with the carrying member for gripping a workpiece to be gripped; wherein the rotary drive member is at least drivenly connected to the portion of the clamping member located on the first side of the carrying member, so that the clamping member clamps or releases the workpiece to be gripped under the rotation of the rotary drive member. Thus, the gripping mechanism of this application comprises a bearing component, a rotary drive component, and a clamping component. The rotary drive component is at least partially connected to the clamping component located on the first side of the bearing component, allowing the clamping component to clamp or release the workpiece under the rotation of the rotary drive component. This drive connection mechanism between the rotary drive component and the clamping component ensures precise execution of the clamping component. When the rotary drive component rotates, it can accurately control the movement of the clamping component, achieving precise positioning and stable clamping of the workpiece, reducing workpiece damage caused by inaccurate positioning. In this application, the rotational motion of the rotary drive component is converted into the linear motion of the clamping component through a mechanical structure. The linear motion optimizes the force transmission path and improves motion efficiency, enabling the gripping mechanism to drive a larger gripping force with a smaller power source, thus reducing energy consumption. The clamping component and the supporting component form a gripping space and are spaced apart along the width direction of the supporting component, allowing the gripping mechanism of this application to adapt to workpieces of different sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. Furthermore, the gripping action is controlled by a rotary drive component, reducing the opportunity for operators to directly contact the workpiece to be gripped, lowering safety risks during operation, and effectively solving the problem in related technologies where operators are prone to hand instability during the gripping and installation of radiators, which can even cause the radiator to slip and fall.

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a mechanism including: a carrying member 10; a rotary drive member 20 rotatably disposed on the carrying member 10; and a clamping member 30 spaced apart along the width direction of the carrying member 10 and located on a first side and a second side of the carrying member 10 respectively, with at least a portion of the clamping member 30 extending to a third side of the carrying member 10 to form a gripping space 50 for gripping a workpiece 40; wherein the rotary drive member 20 is driven connected at least to the portion of the clamping member 30 located on the first side of the carrying member 10, so that the clamping member 30 clamps or releases the workpiece 40 under the rotation of the rotary drive member 20.
[0042] As can be seen, the gripping mechanism of this application is provided with a bearing component, a rotary drive component, and a clamping component. The rotary drive component 20 is at least partially driven connected to the clamping component 30 located on the first side of the bearing component 10, so that the clamping component 30 clamps or releases the workpiece 40 to be gripped under the rotation of the rotary drive component 20. The drive connection mechanism between the rotary drive component 20 and the clamping component 30 ensures the precise execution of the clamping component. When the rotary drive component 20 rotates, it can accurately control the movement of the clamping component 30, achieving precise positioning and stable clamping of the workpiece 40 to be gripped, reducing workpiece damage caused by inaccurate positioning. In this application, the rotational movement of the rotary drive component 20 is achieved through a mechanical structure... The structure transforms into linear motion of the clamping component 30, optimizing the force transmission path and improving motion efficiency. This allows the gripping mechanism to drive a larger gripping force with a smaller power source, reducing energy consumption. The clamping component and the supporting component form a gripping space and are spaced apart along the width direction of the supporting component, enabling the gripping mechanism of this application to adapt to workpieces of different sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. Furthermore, the gripping action is controlled by a rotary drive component, reducing the opportunity for operators to directly contact the workpiece 40 to be gripped, reducing safety risks during operation, and effectively solving the problem in related technologies where operators are prone to hand instability during the gripping and installation of radiators, which can even cause the radiator to slip and fall.
[0043] The clamping mechanism of this application is relatively simple in design, with the main components including a bearing component, a rotary drive component, and a clamping component. This makes maintenance and troubleshooting relatively easy, reduces downtime and maintenance costs, and the use of an automated gripping mechanism can reduce labor costs while improving production efficiency and reducing workpiece damage rate.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping component 30 further includes a movable clamping part 310, which is located on the first side of the bearing component 10. The rotary drive component 20 is driven to connect with the movable clamping part 310 to drive the movable clamping part 310 to reciprocate so as to adjust the size of the gripping space 50.
[0045] The addition of the movable clamping part 310 in this application enables the gripping mechanism to dynamically adjust the size of the gripping space 50, allowing the equipment to adapt to gripping workpieces of different sizes without replacing the entire equipment, greatly enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.
[0046] Preferably, by adjusting the size of the gripping space 50, the gripping mechanism can grip larger or smaller workpieces without changing its own physical dimensions, thereby expanding the gripping range of the equipment and improving the utilization rate of the equipment. The adjustment of the moving clamping part 310 is completed by driving the simple rotary drive component 20, making the operation of the equipment more convenient. The ability to quickly adjust the gripping space reduces the equipment preparation time, that is, it can quickly switch to gripping different types of workpieces without long-term manual adjustment. This greatly improves the production efficiency for production lines that need to process a large number of workpieces of different sizes.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping component 30 further includes a fixed clamping part 320, which is disposed opposite to the movable clamping part 310 and located on the second side of the bearing component 10. The fixed clamping part 320 is fixedly connected to the bearing component 10 to form a gripping space 50 with the movable clamping part 310.
[0048] Preferably, the fixed connection between the fixed clamping part 320 and the bearing component 10 in this application provides a stable support point, which complements the dynamic adjustment of the movable clamping part 310. This ensures that the device can provide sufficient rigidity and stability in any gripping state, preventing the workpiece from shaking or falling off during handling. Through the reasonable design of the fixed clamping part 320 and the movable clamping part 310, uniform force can be applied to the workpiece, avoiding damage to the workpiece due to excessive local force. At the same time, it also ensures that the workpiece 40 to be gripped can maintain the correct posture when gripped.
[0049] In this application, the fixed clamping part 320 remains in the same position as a reference point. With the precise adjustment of the movable clamping part 310, high-precision positioning and gripping of the workpiece can be achieved, which is especially important for workpieces that require precise assembly and handling. Furthermore, the presence of the fixed clamping part 320 reduces the manual adjustment steps required before each gripping. Only the movable clamping part 310 needs to be adjusted, thereby simplifying the operation process, reducing the difficulty of operation, and improving production efficiency.
[0050] Optionally, the inner wall of the clamping part 320 in this application is designed with special surface treatment to prevent damage to the workpiece surface during clamping, and at the same time, it can also prevent the gripping mechanism from accidentally touching other parts on the production line to a certain extent, thereby increasing the overall safety of the gripping mechanism.
[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotary drive component 20 includes: a rotating part 210, at least a portion of which is connected to the support component 10 and rotatably disposed relative to the support component 10 about a first predetermined axis; and a drive part 220, which includes a main drive member 221 and an auxiliary drive member 222. The first end of the main drive member 221 is connected to at least a portion of the rotating part 210 and rotatably disposed relative to the rotating part 210 about a second predetermined axis. The second end of the main drive member 221 is hinged to the first end of the auxiliary drive member 222. The second end of the driving member 222 is connected to the portion of the clamping member 30 located on the first side of the bearing member 10. The bearing member 10 is provided with a limiting groove 2221 for limiting the auxiliary driving member 222. When at least a portion of the rotating part 210 rotates around the first predetermined axis, the main driving member 221 drives the auxiliary driving member 222 to slide along the limiting groove 2221, thereby driving the portion of the clamping member 30 located on the first side of the bearing member 10 to move. The first predetermined axis and the second predetermined axis are parallel to each other and spaced apart.
[0052] Specifically, the first predetermined axis is the rotation axis of the rotating part 210.
[0053] Specifically, the second predetermined axis is the rotation axis of the shaft hole at the first end of the main drive member 221, the first end of the main drive member 221 is the end near the rotating block 212, and the second end of the main drive member 221 is the end near the auxiliary drive member 222.
[0054] Specifically, the connection between the rotating part 210 and the supporting component 10 enables it to achieve precise rotational movement around a first predetermined axis. This motion control is the basis for the gripping mechanism to perform gripping and releasing actions. Through the rotation of the rotating part 210, the movement of the clamping component 30 can be accurately driven, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the gripping process. The first end of the main drive component 221 is connected to the rotating part 210, and the second end is hinged to the first end of the auxiliary drive component 222. This design allows the force to be efficiently converted from rotational motion to linear motion. That is, the rotation of the rotating part 210 drives the auxiliary drive component 222 to slide in the limiting slide groove 2221 through the main drive component 221, thereby precisely controlling the movement of the clamping component 30.
[0055] In this application, the auxiliary drive component 222 slides in the limiting slide groove 2221, ensuring the smoothness and reliability of its movement and avoiding jamming or instability when clamping or releasing the workpiece. This helps to improve the stability and safety of workpiece gripping. Through the coordinated work of the rotating part 210 and the drive part 220, the force can be evenly distributed on the clamping component 30, avoiding damage to the workpiece or affecting the reliability of gripping due to excessive local force. At the same time, this design also helps to improve the overall rigidity of the mechanism.
[0056] Preferably, the first predetermined axis and the second predetermined axis are parallel to each other and spaced apart, which means that the rotation of the rotating part 210 and the main drive member 221 is carried out in a plane, which increases the flexibility of the gripping mechanism operation and expands its ability to adapt to different gripping scenarios. This design of the rotating drive member 20 in this application can reduce energy loss during the movement process. It directly converts the rotational motion into the required linear motion, reduces the loss in the energy conversion process, and improves the overall efficiency.
[0057] Furthermore, this application reduces maintenance needs due to wear or failure of moving parts through precise force transmission and motion control, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and improving equipment operational continuity.
[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating part 210 includes a rotating wrench 211, a rotating block 212, a threaded end 213, and a first connecting pin 240. The rotating block 212 is threadedly connected to the bearing component 10. The end of the rotating wrench 211 near the workpiece 40 to be gripped is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded end 213 is connected to the rotating block 212 and is located at the end of the rotating block 212 near the rotating wrench 211 for threaded connection with the rotating wrench 211. The rotating block 212 is provided with a first pin hole 2121. The first connecting pin 240 is rotatably passed through the rotating wrench 211 and the first pin hole 2121 to limit the relative rotation between the rotating wrench 211 and the rotating block 212, so as to drive the rotating block 212 to rotate around a first predetermined axis by rotating the rotating wrench 211.
[0059] Specifically, the rotary wrench 211 is connected to the threaded end 213 of the rotating block 212 through its threaded hole, forming a precision threaded transmission system. By rotating the rotary wrench 211, the operator or the automation system can accurately transmit torque to the rotating block 212, thereby achieving precise control of the clamping action and ensuring the stability and safety of the workpiece during the gripping and releasing process. Furthermore, the first connecting pin 240 passes through the first pin hole 2121 of the rotary wrench 211 and the rotating block 212, which limits the relative rotation between the two. This not only ensures the smoothness of the rotational movement but also avoids mechanism failure or damage caused by excessive rotation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the operation.
[0060] The threaded rotating part 210 design in this application provides a faster response speed compared to other drive methods such as gear transmission or belt transmission. The operator can quickly adjust the state of the gripping mechanism, improving the efficiency and flexibility of the production line. The threaded transmission in this application has high mechanical efficiency and relatively low energy loss during force transmission. Therefore, using this design can reduce the energy consumption of the gripping mechanism during operation and improve energy utilization efficiency.
[0061] This application uses a rotating block 212 to be threadedly connected to the bearing component 10. The threaded connection has good axial stability and can withstand large axial forces. Therefore, it is not easy to loosen under load, which ensures the structural integrity and reliability. When tightened to a certain extent, the friction between the threads is sufficient to overcome the influence of external loads. Even without external locking force, it can remain stable, reducing the need for additional locking mechanisms. This allows the workpiece to be stably clamped without the operator having to continuously apply force or maintain the position of the rotating wrench 211.
[0062] Optionally, the independent design and threaded connection of each component of the rotating part 210 make maintenance and adjustment easier. If the rotating wrench 211 or the rotating block 212 wears or fails, it can be quickly replaced without disassembling or making extensive adjustments to the entire mechanism. Furthermore, the threaded connection and the limiting design of the first connecting pin 240 enable the rotating part 210 to maintain high durability and reliability during long-term use, reducing maintenance needs caused by loose or failed components.
[0063] like Figure 5As shown, the rotary drive component 20 includes a first rotary limiting pin 250 and a second rotary limiting pin 260. The bearing component 10 is provided with two pin mounting holes 270 spaced apart. The two pin mounting holes 270 are spaced apart circumferentially along the outer peripheral surface of the rotary wrench 211. The first end of the first rotary limiting pin 250 and the first end of the second rotary limiting pin 260 are respectively inserted into the two pin mounting holes 270. The end of the rotary wrench 211 near the rotating block 212 is provided with a limiting groove 2111. The limiting groove 2111 is an arc-shaped groove extending circumferentially along the outer peripheral surface of the rotary wrench 211. The second ends of the first rotary limiting pin 250 and the second rotary limiting pin 260 are both located in the limiting groove 2111 to limit the extreme position of the rotary wrench 211 when it rotates relative to the bearing component 10.
[0064] Specifically, by setting the positions of the first rotation limit pin 250 and the second rotation limit pin 260 within the limiting groove 2111 of the rotary wrench 211, the rotation angle of the rotary wrench 211 can be precisely controlled, thereby ensuring that the rotating block 212 and its associated components operate within a safe and effective range, preventing damage to the mechanism or workpiece falling due to excessive rotation. The design of the first rotation limit pin 250 and the second rotation limit pin 260 effectively prevents the rotary wrench 211 from rotating to an inappropriate angle due to operator error or automation system misoperation, avoiding workpiece damage or production line failure caused by unstable gripping, and improving the safety of equipment operation.
[0065] With the rotation range defined, the operator can find the correct position of the rotary wrench 211 more quickly without repeated trial and error or adjustment, reducing operation time and improving production efficiency. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting groove 2111 and the first rotation limiting pin 250 and the second rotation limiting pin 260 ensures the consistency of the position of the rotary wrench 211 each time, increasing the accuracy of the action.
[0066] Preferably, the independent replaceable design of the first rotary limit pin 250 and the second rotary limit pin 260 means that if the limit pin is worn or malfunctions, it can be replaced individually without affecting the operation of other components, reducing maintenance costs and downtime; and this limiting mechanism protects the rotating part 210 from overload or erroneous operation, which helps to extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the need for frequent maintenance or replacement due to component fatigue or excessive wear.
[0067] like Figure 3As shown, the rotating block 212 is provided with a second pin hole 2122, and the rotating drive component 20 also includes a second connecting pin 201, which is rotatably disposed in the second pin hole 2122 and the first end of the main drive component 221; and / or, the auxiliary drive component 222 is provided with a third pin hole 2222, and the rotating drive component 20 also includes a third connecting pin 202, which is rotatably disposed in the third pin hole 2222 and the second end of the main drive component 221.
[0068] The rotatable arrangement of the second connecting pin 201 and the third connecting pin 202 in this application ensures stable connection between the rotating block 212 and the main drive component 221, as well as between the main drive component 221 and the auxiliary drive component 222. Even under load or high-speed movement, reliable connection between components can be maintained, avoiding loosening or damage at the connection. Through the cooperation of the second pin hole 2122 and the third pin hole 2222 with the corresponding pins, the rotational motion of the rotating block 212 can be smoothly and accurately converted into the linear motion of the main drive component 221, which in turn drives the movement of the clamping component 30 through the auxiliary drive component 222. The force conversion efficiency in this process is high, the action response is fast, and the gripping efficiency of the equipment is improved.
[0069] Furthermore, the connection method using the second connecting pin 201 and the third connecting pin 202, compared to a rigid connection, can reduce direct friction between moving parts, lower the wear rate, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement of parts and lowering the operating cost of the equipment; and the flexibility of the connection between the second connecting pin 201 and the third connecting pin 202 helps the gripping mechanism maintain high efficiency and stability in complex working environments. Even in the event of slight positional displacement or vibration, these changes can be absorbed by the rotation of the pins, ensuring normal operation of the equipment.
[0070] Preferably, the design of the second connecting pin 201 and the third connecting pin 202 in this application not only simplifies the assembly process between components, but also facilitates later maintenance and troubleshooting. The second connecting pin 201 and the third connecting pin 202 can be disassembled and replaced relatively easily without large-scale disassembly of the entire mechanism. The main drive component 221 and the auxiliary drive component 222 move more freely and can better adapt to the gripping needs of different workpieces. This design allows the mechanism to be more flexible in adjusting and adapting when handling workpieces with large changes in size or shape.
[0071] Preferably, the use of pins in this application provides additional protection for rotational and linear motion. That is, in case of abnormal operation or overload, the pin connection can serve as an energy buffer point, reducing the impact on other critical components and indirectly improving operational safety.
[0072] like Figure 4As shown, the gripping mechanism also includes a movable guide shaft assembly 60, which includes a linear bearing 610 and a guide shaft 620. The linear bearing 610 is disposed in the bearing component 10, and the guide shaft 620 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping part 310. The guide shaft 620 is connected to the linear bearing 610 to limit the movement position of the movable clamping part 310.
[0073] Furthermore, the combined use of the linear bearing 610 and the guide shaft 620 ensures the precise positioning of the moving clamping part 310 during operation, reducing positional errors and improving the positioning accuracy of the gripping mechanism. The guide shaft 620 passes through the linear bearing 610, providing stable linear guidance so that the movement path of the moving clamping part 310 always follows the predetermined direction, preventing deviation or wobbling during operation. Moreover, the use of the linear bearing 610 significantly reduces the friction between the guide shaft 620 and the supporting component 10, requiring less driving force when the moving clamping part 310 performs gripping and releasing actions, improving equipment utilization efficiency, reducing wear on moving parts, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0074] Due to the low friction characteristics of the guide shaft 620 and the linear bearing 610, the movable clamping part 310 in this application can respond quickly under the driving action, shortening the time to move from one position to another and improving the operating speed and production efficiency of the equipment. Moreover, the positioning function of the linear bearing 610 makes it easier to check and adjust the position of the movable clamping part 310 during equipment debugging or maintenance, reducing debugging time and maintenance workload. In addition, the design of the movable guide shaft assembly 60 enables the gripping mechanism to operate stably in various working environments. Whether it is a high temperature, low temperature or a dusty environment, the movable clamping part 310 can maintain accurate movement and functional integrity.
[0075] Furthermore, through the precise cooperation between the guide shaft 620 and the linear bearing 610, the movement of the moving clamping part 310 is more controllable, reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by improper operation or equipment failure, and improving the safety factor of operators and production lines.
[0076] Specifically, the movable clamping part 310 is provided with a first locking member 3101, which is located on the side of the movable clamping part 310 near the workpiece 40 to be gripped, so as to engage with the first groove of the workpiece 40 to be gripped; and / or, the fixed clamping part 320 is provided with a second locking member 3201, which is located on the side of the fixed clamping part 320 near the workpiece 40 to be gripped, so as to engage with the second groove of the workpiece 40 to be gripped.
[0077] In this application, the first snap-fit component 3101 and the second snap-fit component 3201 can significantly improve gripping stability by tightly snapping into the groove on the workpiece. Even when handling heavy objects or encountering external interference, the workpiece can be kept fixed in its position and is not easy to fall off. Moreover, by precisely designing the shape and size of the snap-fit component to perfectly match the groove on the workpiece, high-precision gripping and positioning can be achieved, which helps to ensure the accurate position of the workpiece during gripping and placement. This is especially important in assembly operations that require precise alignment.
[0078] Preferably, the first snap-fit component 3101 and the second snap-fit component 3201 in this application can be customized according to the characteristics of different workpieces, so that the gripping mechanism can adapt to workpieces of various shapes and sizes, increasing the versatility and applicability of the equipment and improving the flexibility of the production line; and the snap-fit engagement reduces the pressure of direct contact and compression of the workpiece surface, avoiding scratches or deformation of the workpiece surface caused by excessive gripping force or improper position, thus reducing product loss and maintenance costs.
[0079] When the first latching member 3101 and the second latching member 3201 engage with the first and second grooves of the workpiece 40 to be gripped, they form a self-locking state. Once the workpiece is positioned and clamped, the gripping mechanism no longer needs external force to maintain the clamping state. This self-locking mechanism can maintain a certain clamping force to ensure the stability and safety of the workpiece during transportation. In this utility model, the shape and size of the first latching member 3101 and the second latching member 3201 are precisely designed to ensure that they can engage with the grooves on the workpiece. This design not only improves the gripping accuracy but also achieves complementary shapes and matching sizes.
[0080] The quick-locking and unlocking characteristics of the snap-fit connector in this application increase the speed of workpiece gripping and release, reduce the time required for each operation step, and thus improve production efficiency. The snap-fit design eliminates the need for tedious manual adjustments by operators or automated systems when gripping workpieces; once the workpiece is in the correct position, the snap-fit connector automatically locks in place, simplifying the operation process and reducing operational difficulty. Furthermore, the cooperation between the snap-fit connector and the grooves on the workpiece surface reduces the additional force required during gripping, thereby reducing equipment energy consumption and contributing to a more environmentally friendly production environment.
[0081] The first clamping member 3101 and the second clamping member 3201 in this application can effectively fix the workpiece, reduce the risk of shaking and falling of the workpiece during the gripping process, enhance operational safety, and protect operators and production lines from damage.
[0082] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the gripping mechanism further includes: a handle 70, which is disposed on the side of the support member 10 away from the workpiece 40 to be gripped, for extracting the gripping mechanism; and / or a cover plate 80, which is disposed on the side of the rotary drive member 20 near the workpiece 40 to be gripped and connected to the support member 10 to seal the rotary drive member 20.
[0083] Preferably, the cover plate 80 is made of anti-static material, which ensures hardness while providing anti-static properties.
[0084] Preferably, the addition of the handle 70 greatly facilitates the operator's control of the gripping mechanism, especially in confined or hard-to-reach locations. The handle 70 provides a stable gripping point, enabling the operator to easily extract and manipulate the gripping mechanism, improving operational comfort and efficiency. The design of the handle 70 reduces the operator's chance of directly contacting the internal moving parts of the mechanism, reducing the risk of injury. Especially when gripping heavy objects or large workpieces, a more stable and safer operating experience is crucial for ensuring personnel safety.
[0085] Preferably, the cover plate 80 is mainly used to seal the rotary drive component 20, which can effectively prevent dust, liquid or other impurities from entering the interior of the mechanism, especially the workpiece processing area. This helps to maintain the cleanliness and operating efficiency of the rotary drive component 20 and extend its service life. By sealing the rotary drive component 20, the cover plate 80 reduces the wear and corrosion of internal mechanical parts, reduces the maintenance frequency and cost, and ensures the long-term stable operation of the gripping mechanism. In harsh working environments, such as workshops with high dust and high humidity, the cover plate 80 can ensure that the rotary drive component 20 is not affected by the external environment, maintains its normal working condition, and enhances the environmental adaptability and reliability of the equipment.
[0086] Preferably, the bearing component 10 of this application is engraved with the words "grip" and "release" to serve as a reminder and warning. When the clamping component 30 grips the workpiece, it is forbidden to pry the rotating part 210 to prevent the workpiece from falling off and damaging components such as CPUs.

The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
