The rotating driven gear 302 drives the drive gear 303 to rotate, and the rotating drive gear 303 drives the rack 304 to move. The moving rack 304 causes the gripper assembly 204 to slide within the movable groove 203.
[0024] A fixed mounting rod 305 is fixedly installed on the side of the large flange 202. A rotating mounting bracket 306 is rotatably mounted on the fixed mounting rod 305. A cylinder 307 is fixedly mounted on the rotating mounting bracket 306. A drive block 308 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the cylinder 307. An L-shaped transmission rod 309 is rotatably mounted on the drive block 308. The L-shaped transmission rod 309 is fixedly mounted on the outer gear of the drive gear 300. When the device clamps, the cylinder 307 needs to be activated. The output end of the cylinder 307 drives the drive block 308 to rotate on the L-shaped transmission rod 309. The cylinder 307, in conjunction with the fixed mounting rods 305 and rotating mounting bracket 306, drive block 308 and L-shaped transmission rod 309 at both ends, extends and retracts, thereby driving the drive gear 300 to rotate on the large flange 202.

[0028] Working principle:
[0029] When the device clamps, cylinder 307 needs to be activated. The output end of cylinder 307 drives drive block 308 to rotate on L-shaped transmission rod 309. Cylinder 307, in conjunction with fixed mounting rods 305 at both ends, rotating mounting bracket 306, drive block 308, and L-shaped transmission rod 309, extends and retracts, thereby driving drive gear 300 to rotate on large flange 202. The inner side of the rotating drive gear 303 drives driven gear 302 to rotate on fixed mounting bracket 301. The rotating driven gear 302 drives drive gear 303 to rotate. The rotating drive gear 303 drives rack 304 to move. The moving rack 304 drives gripper assembly 204 to slide in movable groove 203. The moving gripper assembly 204 drives ring... The limiting rings move, and the workpiece can be clamped when the four annular limiting rings come close to each other. The movement of the gripper assembly 204 is restricted by the annular limiting rings and the linear slide 206, and can only move within a fixed range. In order to ensure that the angle can be adjusted after the device clamps the workpiece, the steering motor 401 is started. The output end of the steering motor 401 drives the steering drive gear 402 to rotate. The rotating steering drive gear 402 drives the steering driven gear 403 to rotate. The rotating steering driven gear 403 drives the rotating sleeve 101 to rotate within the fixed base 100, so that the rotating sleeve 101 drives the rotating disk 200 to rotate. The rotating disk 200 is restricted by the linear slide 206 and the linear slider 207, and can only rotate within a fixed range.
