[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] As Figures 1-5 shown, a multifunctional clamping mechanical arm, including base 1, its top rotatably connected with first rotating arm rod 3, base 1 is installed with first motor 2 of driving first rotating arm rod 3 rotation, first rotating arm rod 3 is rotatably connected with rotating rod 5, rotating rod 5 is installed with third motor 7 of driving second rotating arm rod 6, first rotating arm rod 3 is fixedly installed with second motor 4 of driving rotating rod 5 rotation, second rotating arm rod 6 is rotatably arranged on rotating rod 5, second rotating arm rod 6 is rotatably connected with fourth rotating arm rod 11, fourth rotating arm rod 11 is driven by fifth motor 12, fourth rotating arm rod 11 bottom is equipped with mounting plate 14, mounting plate 14 bottom is relatively slidably equipped with at least two clamping plates 16, mounting plate 14 is equipped with drive assembly 9 of driving two clamping plates 16 relative sliding, drive assembly 9 includes seventh motor 91, gear 92 and two racks 93, seventh motor 91 is fixedly installed in mounting plate 14, gear 92 is sleeved on the drive shaft of seventh motor 91, two racks 93 are movably arranged in mounting plate 14 relative to gear 92, two racks 93 are engaged with gear 92, two racks 93 are fixedly connected with two clamping plates 16 respectively.

[0029] Specifically, the base 1 serves as the root of the entire mechanical arm, the first motor 2 drives the first rotating arm rod 3 to rotate around the top of the base 1, realizing large-range angle adjustment of the mechanical arm in the horizontal direction, and changing the working radius range. The second motor 4 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate relative to the first rotating arm rod 3, further enriching the activity dimension of the mechanical arm joint and changing the subsequent arm rod stretching direction. At the same time, the third motor 7 is installed on the rotating rod 5, and the third motor 7 drives the second rotating arm rod 6 to rotate with the rotating rod 5, so that the mechanical arm action posture is continuously extended on the basis of its structure. The fourth rotating arm rod 11 is driven by the fifth motor 12 and can rotate relative to the second rotating arm rod 6 to accurately position the target grabbing position. When the driving assembly 9 at the bottom of the mounting plate 14 works, the seventh motor 91 drives the gear 92 to rotate. Since the two racks 93 are engaged with the gear 92 and are fixedly connected with the two clamping plates 16 respectively, the rotation of the gear 92 causes the two racks 93 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the two clamping plates 16 to slide relative to each other, realizing the clamping action of different size objects. By adjusting the spacing between the clamping plates 16 to adapt to the size of the object, compared with the transmission of the threaded rod driving the sliding block in the patent with the publication number CN219882530U, the cooperation of the gear 92 and the rack 93 makes the clamping plate 16 move more efficiently and accurately, improves the clamping efficiency and effect of the object, and the overall operation is highly automated. The multi-motor driven multi-joint structure gives the mechanical arm high degree of freedom of movement, flexible movement, and can accurately reach the target point in a complex space layout. The relative sliding design of the clamping plate 16 allows it to grasp objects of various widths, has strong versatility, and does not need to frequently replace the clamping tool for different sizes of objects, improving work efficiency and reducing equipment cost and operation complexity.

[0030] In the embodiment, three groups of clamping plates 16 are arranged opposite to each other at the bottom of the mounting plate 14, and the two clamping plates 16 in each group are driven by the driving assembly 9. Therefore, three groups of driving assemblies 9 are installed on the mounting plate 14, and the arrangement of multiple groups of clamping plates 16 and driving assemblies 9 facilitates the device to simultaneously grasp multiple objects, improving the working efficiency of the device. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of clamping plates 16 and driving assemblies 9 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, which is not limited herein.

[0031] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a third rotating arm 15 is rotatably connected to the second rotating arm 6. A fourth motor 8, which drives the third rotating arm 15 to rotate, is fixedly installed on the second rotating arm 6. The fourth rotating arm 11 is rotatably positioned at the end of the third rotating arm 15 opposite to the second rotating arm 6. A fifth motor 12 is fixedly installed on the third rotating arm 15. A slot 10, through which the fourth rotating arm 11 can rotate, is provided on the third rotating arm 15. Specifically, the fourth motor 8 is fixed to the second rotating arm 6, driving the third rotating arm 15 to rotate relative to the second rotating arm 6, changing the angle between the joints of the robotic arm, adjusting the position and posture of the fourth rotating arm 11 and the end effector (clamping plate 16), and coordinating with the first motor 2 and the second motor 4 to refine the robotic arm's motion trajectory planning. The fifth motor 12 drives the fourth rotating arm 11 to rotate at the end of the third rotating arm 15. Combined with the movements of the preceding joints, it achieves more precise positioning and approaches the target to be gripped. The sequential transmission and coordinated movements of multiple joints accurately transmit power and motion commands to the series of mechanical joint chains. The added third rotating arm 15 and its matching motor expand the movement dimension of the robotic arm, making its movement path more complex and varied. It can avoid obstacles in the workspace and reach positions that are difficult for conventional robotic arms to reach. This enhances the robotic arm's ability to work in narrow and complex spaces, expands the range of applicable scenarios, and improves the overall work flexibility and adaptability. For example, it can accurately grip objects in production lines with compact equipment layouts or in areas with dense warehouse shelves.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 14 is rotatably mounted on the fourth rotating arm 11. A sixth motor 13, which drives the mounting plate 14 to rotate, is fixedly mounted on the fourth rotating arm 11. Specifically, the sixth motor 13 drives the mounting plate 14 to rotate around the fourth rotating arm 11, thereby further finely adjusting the angle of the mounting plate 14. This, along with the rotation of the clamping plate 16 below, precisely aligns the object to be clamped with irregular shapes or at special angles, allowing the clamping surface to fit against the object surface at the optimal angle. Combined with the relative sliding function of the clamping plate 16, a stable grip is achieved. From coarse positioning to fine adjustment, the clamping posture is controlled in all aspects, giving the mounting plate 14 the ability to adjust its angle. This greatly improves the success rate of the robotic arm in clamping complex shapes and irregularly placed items, such as gripping curved pipes and tilted parts. It reduces the risk of items slipping or being damaged due to poor clamping angles, improves operational accuracy, and ensures smooth material flow on the production line and safe handling of warehouse goods.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a slide rail 18 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 14, and two clamping plates 16 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 18. Specifically, the slide rail 18 improves the motion accuracy and stability of the clamping plates 16, making the robotic arm's gripping action reliable and highly repeatable, with minimal error in each gripping operation. It performs excellently in scenarios with stringent gripping accuracy requirements, such as high-precision assembly and microelectronic product processing, ensuring consistent product quality, reducing scrap rates, and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, an L-shaped connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected between the rack 93 and the clamping plate 16. Two racks 93, which are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the gear 92, are offset relative to each other on the mounting plate 14. The L-shaped connecting plate 19 enhances transmission reliability, reduces force transmission loss, and improves the accuracy of gripping force control. The offset racks 93 improve the compactness and reliability of the drive assembly 9, reduce failure points, extend the maintenance cycle of the robotic arm, and are suitable for long-term, high-intensity continuous operation scenarios, reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the two clamping plates 16 are fixedly connected to the opposite end faces with anti-slip textures 17. Specifically, the anti-slip textures 17 effectively enhance the gripping stability of the robotic arm, especially for items with smooth surfaces, heavy weight, or changes in acceleration during handling, such as wet glass products or metal castings with a certain weight. The anti-slip textures 17 reduce the risk of slippage, improve the safety and operational quality of production and logistics, and reduce the risk of damage to items, compensation losses, and production interruptions.

The second motor 4 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate relative to the first rotating arm 3, further enriching the movement dimensions of the robotic arm joints and changing the subsequent extension direction of the arm. The third motor 7 drives the second rotating arm 6 and the rotating rod 5 to rotate, further extending the robotic arm's movement posture based on its structure. The fourth motor 8 is fixed to the second rotating arm 6, driving the third rotating arm 15 to rotate relative to the second rotating arm 6, changing the angle between the joints of the robotic arm, adjusting the position and posture of the fourth rotating arm 11 and the end effector (clamping plate 16), and coordinating with the first motor 2 and the second motor 4 to refine the robotic arm's motion trajectory planning; the fifth motor 12 drives the fourth rotating arm 11 to rotate at the end of the third rotating arm 15, combining with the previous joint movements to achieve more precise positioning and approach the target to be gripped. The fourth rotating arm 11, driven by the fifth motor 12, can rotate relative to the second rotating arm 6, accurately positioning itself to the target gripping position. When the drive assembly 9 at the bottom of the mounting plate 14 is working, the seventh motor 91 drives the gear 92 to rotate, due to the two The rack 93 meshes with the gear 92 and is fixedly connected to two clamping plates 16. The rotation of the gear 92 causes the two racks 93 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the two clamping plates 16 to slide relative to each other, realizing the clamping action of objects of different sizes. By adjusting the spacing of the clamping plates 16 to adapt to the shape and size of the objects, the clamping efficiency and effect of the objects are improved. The overall operation has a high degree of automation. The multi-motor driven multi-joint structure gives the robotic arm a high degree of freedom of movement, making it flexible and able to accurately reach the target point in complex spatial layouts.
