[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric gripper technology, specifically relating to an electric gripper that automatically identifies objects that obstruct the view. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, when gripping objects, the common method is to move the manual clamp to the object being gripped, and then use both hands to bring the jaws closer together to achieve gripping. This method is slow to react, makes it difficult to accurately control the force, can easily damage the object being gripped or the workpiece, and is also inconvenient to use and carry.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an electric gripper that can be operated by buttons and automatically recognize objects that are obstructed, in order to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric clamp that automatically identifies object obstruction, so as to solve the problem that the prior art cannot automatically clamp by identifying object obstruction.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides an electric clamp for automatically identifying object obstruction, including a fixed box. A fixed curved tube is fixedly installed on the fixed box, and a movable curved tube is rotatably installed on the fixed box. The movable curved tube is fixedly connected to the output end of a drive mechanism installed in the fixed box. The drive mechanism is used to output rotational power to make the movable curved tube rotate and cooperate with the fixed curved tube to achieve the clamping function. A light sensor is installed on the fixed box and disposed between the fixed curved tube and the movable curved tube. The light sensor is used to identify object obstruction signals and transmit the signals to the main control board to control the drive mechanism to open.
[0007] Furthermore, a supplementary light is installed on the mounting box on the side of the light sensor.
[0008] Furthermore, a power supply is installed inside the fixing box.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixing box is provided with a charging port, which is used to connect an external charger to charge the power supply.
[0010] Furthermore, a charging indicator light is provided on the side of the charging port on the mounting box.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixed bend and the movable bend are staggered.
[0012] Furthermore, a handheld handle is fixedly installed on the fixing box.
[0013] Furthermore, a rubber grip is fitted onto the end of the hand handle away from the fixed box.
[0014] Furthermore, the handheld lever is equipped with a closed button and an auxiliary button that are electrically connected to the main control board. When the closed button is pressed, the main control board can control the drive mechanism to open so that the movable bend rotates toward the fixed bend. When both the closed button and the auxiliary button are pressed, the main control board can control the drive mechanism to open so that the movable bend rotates away from the fixed bend.
[0015] Furthermore, a power switch is provided on the fixing box.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This invention, by setting up a light sensor, can automatically identify whether there is an object obstructing the view, thereby allowing the movable curved tube to rotate and approach the fixed curved tube to achieve a clamping function.

[0023] like Figures 1-2As shown, this utility model provides an electric clamp for automatically identifying object obstruction, including a fixed box 1. A fixed curved tube 2 is fixedly installed on the fixed box 1. A movable curved tube 3 is rotatably installed on the fixed box 1. The movable curved tube 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of a drive mechanism installed in the fixed box 1. The drive mechanism is used to output rotational power to make the movable curved tube 3 rotate and cooperate with the fixed curved tube 2 to achieve the clamping function. A light sensor 4 is installed on the fixed box 1 and disposed between the fixed curved tube 2 and the movable curved tube 3. A supplementary light 401 is provided on the fixed box 1 on one side of the light sensor 4.
[0024] In this scheme, the light sensor 4 is used to identify whether there is an object blocking it. If the light sensor 4 is blocked by an object, the light sensor 4 transmits an electrical signal to the main control board installed inside the fixed box 1. The main control board controls the drive mechanism to start, thereby driving the movable bend 3 to close towards the fixed bend 2. During operation, if it is obstructed by an external force, it will automatically stop and lock the movable bend so that it cannot rotate back. The change in current obtained by the motor stall detection AD is used to determine whether it is obstructed by an external force. The supplementary light 401 provides supplementary light to the light sensor 4, so that the light sensor 4 will not malfunction at night or in very dim light.
[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, a hand-held rod 5 is fixedly installed on the fixed box 1, and a rubber grip 501 is sleeved on the end of the hand-held rod 5 away from the fixed box 1, so as to facilitate the operator's hand holding.
[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the handheld lever 5 is provided with a closing button 502 and an auxiliary button 503. The closing button 502 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism and is used to control the opening or closing of the drive mechanism. In this embodiment, the movable curved tube 3 can be rotated towards the fixed curved tube 2 by manually pressing the closing button 502, so that the movable curved tube 3 closes to clamp the object. When both the auxiliary button 503 and the closing button 502 are pressed, the movable curved tube 3 rotates away from the fixed curved tube 2 to perform the opening function and put the object down.
[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, a power supply for providing system power is installed inside the fixing box 1. The power supply consists of two 18650 lithium batteries. The fixing box 1 is provided with a charging port 101, which is a Type-USB interface for connecting an external charger to charge the power supply. A charging indicator light 102 is provided on one side of the charging port 101. The charging indicator light 102 is an LED light. When the battery is charging, the charging indicator light 102 is flashing green. When the battery is fully charged, the charging indicator light 102 is constantly lit green.
[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, a power switch 103 is provided on the fixed box 1. When the power switch 103 is turned on, if the main control board voltage detection circuit and A / D detection program detect that the voltage is too low, the main control board will prevent the movable bend 3 from running, and the charging indicator light 102 will flash. When the movable bend 3 is in the state of moving towards the fixed bend 2, if the main control board voltage detection circuit and A / D detection program detect that the voltage is too low, the main control board will immediately stop the movable bend 3 from moving towards the fixed bend 2 and immediately execute the operation in the opposite direction to the fixed bend 2 to prevent the movable bend from being unable to open due to the battery being depleted. The charging port 101, the charging indicator light 102, and the power switch 103 are all provided on the side wall where the fixed box 1 connects to the handheld rod 5.
[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixed bend 2 and the movable bend 3 are staggered, so that the fixed bend 2 and the movable bend 3 are not on the same plane, thus avoiding interference between the fixed bend 2 and the movable bend 3 during the clamping process. This solution improves the clamping range; wherein, the fixed bend 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side wall of the fixed box 1 away from the hand handle 5, and the movable bend 3 is rotatably mounted on the top wall of the fixed box 1.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
