[0003] However, existing grippers with visual effects can usually only clamp from the outer wall of the workpiece, which is not very versatile and inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gripper with visual effects, which can be selected to clamp from the inner or outer wall of the workpiece as needed, improving applicability and ease of use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A gripper with visual effects is provided, comprising a movable frame. A first motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable frame, and a first lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. A mounting frame is threaded onto the outer surface of the first lead screw. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting frame. Two movable slots are formed on the upper surface of the connecting plate. A second motor is fixedly connected to the inner top of the mounting frame. A first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. A turntable is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating shaft that is away from the second motor. The turntable is movably mounted on the lower surface of the connecting plate. Two arc-shaped slots are formed on the upper surface of the turntable. A connecting post is provided inside the arc-shaped slot. A slider is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting post. The slider is located inside the movable slot. A clamping member is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting post.

[0006] Optionally, the lower surface of the clamping member is provided with a mounting groove, and a visual recognition component is fixedly connected to the inner top of the mounting groove.

[0007] Optionally, a workbench is provided below the movable frame, and a dual-head motor is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the workbench. A second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the dual-head motor, and a first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft that is away from the dual-head motor.

[0008] Optionally, the upper surface of the worktable is provided with a rotating groove, and there are two rotating grooves. A second lead screw is movably installed on the inner surface of the rotating groove. A second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second lead screw. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear. A movable frame is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second lead screw.

[0009] Optionally, a stabilizing block is fitted onto the outer surface of the second lead screw, and there are two stabilizing blocks, which are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the worktable.

[0010] Optionally, the upper surface of the workbench is fixedly connected to a first slide rod, and there are two first slide rods.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This utility model includes a first motor, a first lead screw, a mounting bracket, a moving groove, a second motor, a turntable, an arc-shaped groove, a slider, a connecting column, a clamping component, and a dual-head motor. When it is necessary to control the clamping assembly to clamp a workpiece, the first motor is driven to work, causing the first lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the turntable to rotate. Due to the presence of the arc-shaped groove, the connecting column and the slider move closer to or further apart along the moving groove. When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece from its outer wall, the connecting column and the slider are driven to move further apart along the moving groove until they stop moving. At this time, the first motor is driven to work, causing the first lead screw to rotate. The mechanism moves the mounting bracket above the workpiece, then controls the dual-head motor to move the moving bracket down until the workpiece is positioned between adjacent clamping members. At this point, the second motor drives the adjacent arc-shaped grooves and sliders closer together, allowing the clamping members to hold the workpiece. When clamping the workpiece from its inner wall, the second motor drives the adjacent arc-shaped grooves and sliders closer together, moving the clamping members inside the workpiece. Then, the adjacent arc-shaped grooves and sliders are moved away from each other, allowing the adjacent clamping members to hold the workpiece from its inside. This invention allows for selection of clamping from either the inner or outer wall of the workpiece, improving applicability and ease of use. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figure 1-7The present invention will now be described. A gripper with visual effects includes a movable frame 1. A first motor 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable frame 1. A first lead screw 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 2. When the first motor 2 operates, it drives the first lead screw 3 to rotate, thereby controlling the left and right movement of the mounting frame 4, which in turn controls the left and right movement of the gripper. The mounting frame 4 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first lead screw 3. A connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting frame 4. The upper surface of the connecting plate 5 has two moving grooves 6. A second motor 7 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the mounting frame 4. A first rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 7. A turntable 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the turntable 9 that is away from the second motor 7. The turntable 9 is movably mounted on the lower surface of the connecting plate 5. Two arc-shaped grooves 10 are formed on the upper surface of the turntable 9. A connecting post 12 is set inside the arc-shaped groove 10. A slider 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting post 12. The slider 11 is located inside the moving groove 6. A clamping member 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting post 12. Adjacent clamping members 13 cooperate with each other to form a clamping assembly. When it is necessary to control the clamping assembly to clamp the workpiece, the first motor 2 is driven to work, which drives the first lead screw 3 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 9 to rotate. Due to the existence of the arc-shaped groove 10, This causes the connecting column 12 and the slider 11 to move closer or further apart along the moving groove 6. When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece from the outer wall of the workpiece, the connecting column 12 and the slider 11 are driven to move further apart along the moving groove 6 until they stop moving. The first motor 2 is driven to work, driving the first lead screw 3 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting frame 4 to move above the workpiece. Then, the double-headed motor 17 is controlled to work, driving the moving frame 1 to move down until the workpiece is located between the adjacent clamping members 13. At this time, the second motor 7 is driven to work, driving the adjacent arc groove 10 and the slider 11 to move closer together, so that the clamping members 13 can clamp the workpiece. When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece from the inner wall of the workpiece, the connecting column 12 and the slider 11 are driven to move further apart along the moving groove 6 until they stop moving. The first motor 2 is driven to work, driving the first lead screw 3 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting frame 4 to move above the workpiece. The second motor 7 is driven to work, driving the adjacent arc groove 10 and the slider 11 to move closer together, so that the clamping members 13 can clamp the workpiece. When the workpiece is clamped, the second motor 7 is driven to work, causing the adjacent arc-shaped groove 10 and slider 11 to move closer to each other, thereby moving the clamping member 13 into the interior of the workpiece. Then, the adjacent arc-shaped groove 10 and slider 11 are controlled to move away from each other, so that the adjacent clamping member 13 can clamp the workpiece from the inner wall. The lower surface of the clamping member 13 is provided with a mounting groove 14. A visual recognition component 15 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the mounting groove 14. The visual recognition component 15 is equipped with a camera, sensor and other structures, which can acquire image information of the target object. Through image processing and analysis algorithms, the shape, size, position and posture of the object are identified and located.

[0027] This utility model provides a gripper with visual effects, which, compared with the prior art, can be selected to clamp from the inner wall or the outer wall of the workpiece as needed, improving applicability and making it convenient to use.

A second bevel gear 21 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second lead screw 22. The second bevel gear 21 meshes with the first bevel gear 19. The movable frame 1 is threaded to the outer surface of the second lead screw 22. When the dual-head motor 17 operates, it drives the second rotating shaft 18 and the first bevel gear 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 21 and the second lead screw 22 to rotate. This allows the movable frame 1 to move up and down to cooperate with the clamping assembly. To make the movement of the movable frame 1 more stable, a stabilizing block 23 is fitted on the outer surface of the second lead screw 22. There are two stabilizing blocks 23, which are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the worktable 16. The stabilizing blocks 23 are used to support the second lead screw 22.
