[0034] Clamping jaw 4 is arranged in one side of each group of connecting blocks 2;
[0035] Hinged shaft two 5 is detachably installed on clamping jaw 4;
[0036] The movable sleeve is sleeved with a limiting pull rod 6 on the surface of the second hinge shaft 5;
[0037] The movable groove 7 is arranged on the surface of one end of the limiting pull rod 6, the second hinge shaft 5 penetrates the movable groove 7 and is movably connected with the movable groove 7;
[0038] The first pull spring 8 is arranged between the second hinge shaft 5 and the first hinge shaft 3;
[0039] The power mechanism is arranged in the main shell 1 and is used for driving the clamping jaw 4 to rotate to open and close the material taking and placing.
[0040] In use, the clamping jaw 4 is rotated around the second hinge shaft 5 by the power mechanism, and the effect of taking and placing the spherical material is achieved by cooperating with the limiting pull rod 6. The second hinge shaft 5 can drive the clamping jaw 4 to move along the movable groove 7. In the non-grabbing process, the second hinge shaft 5 and the clamping jaw 4 are pulled towards the picking center under the action of the first pull spring 8. When a large-size object is picked up, the first pull spring 8 moves the clamping jaw 4 and the second hinge shaft 5 along the movable groove 7 away from the picking center to lengthen, thereby forming an elastic drive to the clamping jaw 4, facilitating adjustment of the distance between the clamping jaw 4 and the picking center. Therefore, the effect of self-adaptive adjustment of the clamping jaw 4 activity range according to the size of the picked object is achieved, the spherical material with asymmetric size is conveniently picked up, the picking versatility of the clamping jaw 4 is ensured, and the application range and flexibility of the mechanical claw are effectively improved.
