AI Technical Summary
The gripper assembly of existing automatic algae detection equipment cannot ensure that the upper surface of the gripping film ring is tightly attached to the gripper, which makes it impossible to place horizontally, and the gripper cannot work without an air source.
The gripper structure, which uses a push rod stepper motor connected to a cylinder, combined with a spring displacement component and a sensing component, uses a photoelectric switch to control the opening and closing of the gripper, ensuring that the gripper can still work when there is no air source.
This technology enables the grippers to function normally even without an air source, and ensures that the upper surface of the gripping film ring is tightly attached to the grippers, thus ensuring the subsequent placement of the platform and improving the reliability and operational stability of the equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model discloses a gripper structure, belonging to the technical field of automatic algae detection equipment, specifically relating to a push rod stepper motor gripper structure for an automatic algae detection equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Automated algae detection equipment is used in various fields, including drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, ecological monitoring of lakes and rivers, and aquaculture. By improving monitoring accuracy and efficiency, these systems significantly enhance water management and environmental protection capabilities.
[0003] Existing automated algae detection equipment has the following problems:
[0004] 1. The structure of the gripper assembly is not designed to ensure that the upper surface of the gripped film ring is tightly attached to the gripper, which results in the gripper not being able to be in a horizontal position, thus making it impossible to ensure that the platform can be leveled in the next step.
[0005] 2. In the existing technology, the grippers are mostly operated by pneumatic cylinders. When there is no air source, the grippers cannot work. Utility Model Content

[0008] The spring displacement assembly is mounted on the mounting base plate; the gripper assembly is mounted on the spring displacement assembly to follow the movement of the spring displacement assembly; and the sensing assembly is mounted on the spring displacement assembly to control the gripper assembly.
[0009] In a further embodiment, the spring displacement assembly includes: a spring seat, fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate; a guide rail, fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate; a slider, slidably connected to the guide rail; a gripper mounting plate, fixedly mounted on the slider; a push rod stepper motor, fixedly mounted on the gripper mounting plate; a cylinder, connected to the push rod stepper motor; a gripper, fixedly mounted on the cylinder to follow the opening and closing of the cylinder; and a spring, one end connected to the spring seat and the other end connected to the gripper mounting plate.
[0010] In a further embodiment, the shaft of the push rod stepper motor is connected to the piston end of the cylinder. When there is no air source, the push rod stepper motor pushes the piston inside the cylinder to drive the gripper to open and close.
[0011] In a further embodiment, the sensing component includes: a photoelectric switch and a photoelectric switch baffle, wherein the photoelectric switch is fixedly mounted on the spring seat; and the photoelectric switch baffle is fixedly mounted on the gripper mounting plate.
[0012] In a further embodiment, the mounting base plate is provided with a power module and a control module. The power module is connected to the control module to provide power for its operation. The control module is also connected to the gripper assembly and the sensing assembly.
[0013] In a further embodiment, a housing is provided on the outer side of the mounting base plate.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The structure of the gripper assembly of this utility model ensures that the upper surface of the gripping film ring is tightly attached to the gripper and is in a horizontal position, ensuring that the platform can be leveled in the next step. Furthermore, in the absence of an air source, the combination of the push rod stepper motor and the gripper cylinder allows for cylinder-less operation (the cylinder is removed from its top and connected to the push rod stepper motor), making the process even simpler.
