Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: including a rotary cylinder 3, a fixed frame 4 connected to the bottom of the rotary cylinder 3, two sets of electric slide rails 5 connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 4, an installation frame 6 connected to the bottom moving end of the electric slide rails 5, a gripping seat 7 connected to the bottom of the installation frame 6, three sets of gripping fingers 8 connected to the bottom of the gripping seat 7, a sealing layer 9 connected to the inner side of the gripping seat 7, a connecting pipe 10 connected to the top of the sealing layer 9, an air pipe 11 connected to the top of the connecting pipe 10, a branch pipe 12 connected to the top of each gripping finger 8, the other end of each branch pipe 12 connected to the air pipe 11, and a solenoid valve 13 connected to the middle end, an anti-slip layer 14 connected to the inner side of each gripping finger 8, an inner gripping frame 15 connected to the bottom of the inner side of each gripping finger 8, and the rotary cylinder 3 connected to a drive mechanism;

[0024] Reference Figure 3 As shown, one end of the air pipe 11 passes through the gripping seat 7 and is connected to a miniature vacuum pump 51. A three-way connector is connected to the end of 11 and 51, and the three-way connector is connected to the air inlet and exhaust port of 51 respectively. The miniature vacuum pump 51 is fixedly installed at the top of the electric slide rail 5. The connection between the miniature vacuum pump 51 and the air pipe 11 can drive the overall gripping operation.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 As shown, an industrial camera 17 is connected to the bottom of the sealing layer 9. During the gripping operation, the industrial camera 17 can be used to locate the object using visual technology, thereby enabling a series of tasks such as gripping, positioning, placement, and installation.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a solenoid valve 301 is connected to the middle end of the connecting pipe 10 to facilitate gripping and placement using vacuum adsorption.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a connecting frame 102, a robotic arm 101 is rotatably mounted on one side of the connecting frame 102, and a rotary cylinder 3 is connected to the connecting frame 102.

[0028] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When using this utility model, the micro vacuum pump 51 is started, and air is injected into the branch pipe 12 through the air pipe 11, causing each gripping finger 8 to expand. By controlling the amount of gas injected, they can be combined to form a cylindrical suction head. The sealing performance can be further increased by the adhesion between the soft rubber layers between the gripping fingers 8. Then, the solenoid valve 13 is closed, and the gripping position is adjusted by the cooperation between the robotic arm 101 and the rotary cylinder 3. The industrial camera 17 is aimed at the aluminum bar, and the combined gripping fingers 8 are attached to the surface of the aluminum bar. The solenoid valve 201 is opened, and the micro vacuum pump 51 is used to draw air, thereby adsorbing and gripping the aluminum bar.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a rotary cylinder 3, a fixed frame 4 connected to the bottom of the rotary cylinder 3, two sets of electric slide rails 5 connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 4, a mounting frame 6 connected to the moving end of the bottom surface of the electric slide rails 5, a gripping seat 7 connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 6, three sets of gripping fingers 8 connected to the bottom of the gripping seat 7, a sealing layer 9 connected to the inner side of the gripping seat 7, a connecting pipe 10 connected to the top of the sealing layer 9, an air pipe 11 connected to the top of the connecting pipe 10, a branch pipe 12 connected to the top of each gripping finger 8, the other end of each branch pipe 12 being connected to the air pipe 11 and a solenoid valve 13 connected to the middle end, and an anti-slip layer 14 connected to the inner side of each gripping finger 8. The anti-slip layer 14 can increase the strength of the inner side of the gripping finger 8 and will not expand with the injection of gas.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the grasping fingers 8 is provided with a corrugated surface 16. When the fingers are extracted or air is introduced through the 12, the grasping fingers 8 can be bent by the corrugated surface 16, so as to better open and close the grasping fingers 8 for grasping.

[0032] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When this utility model is used, the micro vacuum pump 51 is started, and the air is extracted from each grasping finger 8 through the connection of the air pipe 11 and each branch pipe 12, so that each grasping finger 8 bends and opens outward. The industrial camera 17 is used for through positioning. Then, air is injected into the grasping finger 8, so that the outer surface of the grasping finger 8 expands, thereby making each grasping finger 8 move inward to grasp the material. Even for spherical parts, the anti-slip layer 14 also plays a very good anti-slip role.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] Please see Figure 1, Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a rotary cylinder 3, a 4 connected to the bottom end of the rotary cylinder 3, two sets of electric slide rails 5 connected to the bottom end of the 4, a mounting frame 6 connected to the bottom moving end of the electric slide rails 5, a gripping seat 7 connected to the bottom end of the mounting frame 6, three sets of gripping fingers 8 connected to the bottom end of the gripping seat 7, a sealing layer 9 connected to the inner side of the gripping seat 7, a connecting pipe 10 connected to the top end of the sealing layer 9, an air pipe 11 connected to the top end of the connecting pipe 10, a branch pipe 12 connected to the top end of each gripping finger 8, the other end of each branch pipe 12 being connected to the air pipe 11 and a solenoid valve 13 connected to the middle end, an anti-slip layer 14 connected to the inner side of each gripping finger 8, an inner gripping frame 15 connected to the bottom end of the inner side of each gripping finger 8, and the rotary cylinder 3 being connected to a drive mechanism.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the inner gripper 15 has protruding clamps on the outer side of its bottom end.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 As shown, an industrial camera 17 is connected to the bottom of the sealing layer 9.

[0037] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When this utility model is used, it first provides the drive of a micro vacuum pump 51 to merge the various gripping fingers 8. After completion, through the drive of the robotic arm 1 and the monitoring of the industrial camera 17, the bottom end of the inner gripping frame 15 is placed inside the hole on the surface of the workpiece to be gripped. Then, the air inside the gripping fingers 8 is extracted through the branch pipe 12, causing them to bend outward. At the same time as bending, the inner gripping frame 15 supports the inside of the hole on the surface of the main workpiece, thereby connecting with the workpiece and completing the gripping. Then, the workpiece is transferred and placed by the drive of the robotic arm 1 and the rotary cylinder 3.
