[0029] Further explanation is needed:

[0030] The adjustable gravity center small arm assembly 4 is a key part of the multi-axis linkage mechanical gripper device, mainly undertakes the important role of flexible control and accurate positioning, and drives the worm 405 and the worm gear 404 through the first servo motor 407 to drive the rotating disc 403 to rotate, so that the small arm can be flexibly adjusted at different angles to meet the demand for grabbing the target object in a complex space. In the electronic component production line, the mechanical gripper needs to accurately grab and place the tiny chip. The accurate angle adjustment function of the adjustable gravity center small arm assembly 4 enables the mechanical gripper to complete the task with extremely high precision, ensures the accuracy of the production process, and improves the product quality.

[0031] Another important function of the adjustable gravity center small arm assembly 4 is to realize gravity center adjustment and ensure the stability of grabbing. The small arm support 408, the dovetail sliding groove 409, the lead screw 412 and other components work cooperatively. The second servo motor 411 drives the lead screw 412 to drive the internal threaded block 414 and the gripper fixing block 416 to move along the dovetail sliding groove 409, so as to adjust the position of the gripper assembly and change the gravity center of the whole small arm assembly. When transporting objects with irregular shapes or uneven weight distribution, the gravity center can be adjusted to keep the mechanical gripper balanced during the grabbing and transporting process, avoiding the objects from falling due to unstable gravity center, and improving the safety and reliability of the operation.

[0032] The adjustable gravity center small arm assembly 4 can be widely used in various industrial scenes due to its flexible operation performance and good compatibility. In the automobile manufacturing workshop, it assists in the precise assembly of parts. In the logistics warehouse, it can transport goods of different sizes and weights. In addition, it fully considers the compatibility with other components in design, and can be flexibly combined with different large arm assemblies 2, rotating joint bodies and gripper assemblies. According to different production tasks and working environments, it can quickly complete customized configuration, greatly expanding the application field of the multi-axis linkage mechanical gripper device and improving the universality and practicality of the equipment.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0034] Firstly, the driving motor longitudinally arranged inside the base is started, and its output end is fixedly connected with the large arm assembly 2. The power generated by the operation of the driving motor is transmitted to the large arm assembly 2, so as to drive the large arm to perform basic actions such as lifting or angle adjustment, so that the mechanical gripper device can move within a certain vertical space range and preliminarily position to the approximate area where the target object is located.

[0035] Secondly, when the large arm reaches the appropriate position, the driving motor transversely arranged inside the large and small arm rotating joint body 3 starts to work, and its output end is fixedly connected with the adjustable gravity center small arm assembly 4. The driving motor drives the adjustable gravity center small arm assembly 4 to rotate in the horizontal direction, further reduces the positional deviation from the target object, and enables the mechanical gripper to approach the target more accurately.

[0036] Next, after approaching the target object, the adjustable gravity center arm assembly 4 begins to play a key role, the first servo motor 407 starts, the worm 405 on the output end engages transmission with the worm gear 404, drives the rotating disc 403 to rotate on both sides of the rotating joint shell 402, realizes flexible rotation of the arm at multiple angles, so that the mechanical gripper can be finely adjusted according to the position and attitude of the target object, and ensure that the target object can be accurately aligned.

[0037] Next, when the mechanical gripper is aligned with the target object, the second servo motor 411 starts, and the lead screw 412 on the output end begins to rotate. Since the lead screw 412 is threadedly sleeved in the internal threaded hole 415, the internal threaded block 414 drives the gripper fixing block 416 to move along the dovetail sliding groove 409, thereby adjusting the position of the gripper assembly. At the same time, according to the shape and weight distribution of the object, the position of the gripper assembly is adjusted to change the center of gravity of the entire arm assembly, preparing for stable object grabbing.

[0038] Finally, after adjusting the position and center of gravity, the gripper assembly is connected to the gripper fixing block 416 and grasps the target object by a specific grasping method. After grasping, the motors work together in reverse order to transport the object to the designated position, completing a complete work flow.

[0039] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application, therefore: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
