[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

The robot hand is designed in the form of two upper and two lower, and the floating disc 2 is used to grab the workpiece positioning hole by the three-claw air claw 3 to complete the feeding and discharging.

[0025] Specifically, the two-up and two-down design allows the robot gripper to apply grasping force to the workpiece from different heights and directions, forming multiple force points, thereby improving the overall grasping stability. For example, when grasping a long cylindrical workpiece, the upper and lower three-jaw air claws 3 can grasp the workpiece from different heights, preventing the workpiece from rotating or shaking during grasping and handling, ensuring stable grasping and precise posture control of the workpiece, suitable for high-precision machining and assembly operations. The upper and lower distribution of the grasping structure helps to more evenly distribute the weight of the workpiece, avoiding excessive local stress caused by concentrated grasping, reducing the risk of stress concentration of the robot gripper and connecting components. For heavier workpieces, this design can distribute the load to different three-jaw air claws 3, prolonging the service life of the robot gripper and connecting components and reducing structural damage caused by long-term overloading.

[0029] Specifically, the anti-slip texture stripes are provided to enhance the friction and stability when grasping the workpiece, while effectively reducing damage to the surface of the workpiece.

[0030] The surface of the two groups of three-jaw air claws 3 is fixedly installed with a pressure sensor.

[0031] Specifically, the pressure sensor is used to detect the clamping pressure of the three-jaw air claw 3 when grasping the workpiece. When the clamping pressure reaches a preset threshold, a signal is sent to the robot control system to prevent damage to the workpiece due to excessive clamping force or workpiece slipping due to insufficient clamping force.

[0032] A sealing structure is fixedly installed between each floating disc 2 and the partition plate 1.

[0033] Specifically, a sealing structure is provided between the floating disc 2 and the partition plate 1 to prevent dust and impurities from entering the internal structure of the floating disc 2, ensuring long-term stable operation and precision of the floating disc 2.
