Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0019] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.
[0020] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a flexible gripping device for a robot hand according to this utility model includes a fixed column 1 and multiple fixed frames 2. The fixed frames 2 are all installed on the outer ring of the fixed column 1 through hinges. The multiple fixed frames 2 are evenly distributed in a ring structure. One end of each fixed frame 2 extends outward at an angle and is bent vertically to form a fixed part 15. A positioning sleeve 3 is installed on the inner side of each fixed part 15. A positioning column 4 is provided in each positioning sleeve 3. One end of each positioning column 4 extends to the outside and is equipped with a clamping piece 5. A rubber layer 6 is installed on one side of each clamping piece 5. A positioning tube 9 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed column 1 to press the multiple fixed frames 2 inward on the fixed column 1.
[0022] In this embodiment, the end of the fixing frame 2 facing the fixing column 1 is bent upward to form a vertical pressure-bearing part. The inner side of the pressure-bearing part is in contact with the outer wall of the fixing column 1. The outer side of the pressure-bearing part is provided with an arc-shaped structure 14. The positioning tube 9 is sleeved on the outside of the multiple pressure-bearing parts, and the inner ring surface of the positioning tube 9 is in contact with the arc-shaped structure 14 on the pressure-bearing part. One end of the positioning tube 9 is narrowed inward to form a positioning part 8, which is sleeved on the fixing column 1. The other end of the positioning tube 9 is expanded outward to form a guide part 10 with an annular structure.
[0023] In this embodiment, the fixing part 15 is provided with an installation hole opposite to the positioning sleeve 3. A sealed bearing is installed in the installation hole. A lead screw hole is provided axially at the center of the positioning column 4. A lead screw is installed in the inner ring of the sealed bearing. One end of the lead screw is threaded into the lead screw hole, and the other end of the lead screw is set to the outside and is equipped with a handwheel 7.
[0024] In this embodiment, the clamping pieces 5 are all made of metal spring sheets to ensure the elasticity of the clamping pieces. When the handwheel is rotated, it can drive the lead screw and the positioning pin. After rotating to a certain extent, the positioning pin can disengage from the lead screw, thereby allowing the clamping pieces to be replaced.
[0025] In this embodiment, a fixing seat 13 is installed at one end of the fixing column 1, a fixing plate 11 is installed on the outer ring surface of the positioning tube 9, a connecting seat is installed on the fixing seat 13, a cylinder 12 is installed on the connecting seat, and the piston of the cylinder 12 is installed on the fixing plate 11.
[0026] In this embodiment, the hinge is a torsion spring hinge. The torsion spring hinge can automatically lift the fixing frame and the clamping plate upwards, and the opened clamping plate can better fit over the object.
[0027] In this embodiment, the clamping pieces 5 are all arranged in a "J" shape, so that the clamping pieces can bend toward the fixed frame side after being pressed.
[0028] This device is suitable for cylindrical objects and can change the distance between the clamping plates according to the diameter of the object. During adjustment, the handwheel is rotated directly. The rotation of the handwheel drives the lead screw, which in turn drives the positioning pin, causing the positioning pin to move outward along the positioning tube. The movement of the positioning pin drives the clamping plates, so that multiple clamping plates form a clamping cavity that matches the size of the object.
[0029] In use, the cylinder is activated, causing the piston rod to retract. The movement of the piston rod drives the fixing plate and positioning tube. After the positioning tube moves away from the outside of the pressure part, the torsion of the torsion spring hinge opens the fixing frame and clamping plate outward. The opened clamping plate can be moved above the object by the robotic arm. At this time, the cylinder is activated in reverse, causing the piston rod to extend. The movement of the piston rod drives the positioning tube, which can squeeze the fixing frame inward through the guide part, causing the fixing frame to automatically move inward. After the pressure part is in contact with the fixing column, the positioning tube can be sleeved on the outside of the arc-shaped structure of the pressure part. The positioning tube can move the clamping plate to the specified position, thereby gripping the object.
[0030] During gripping, the rubber layer increases friction and flexibility when in contact with the object, and the elasticity of the clamping plate can better press the item inward. Furthermore, the flexibility of the rubber layer and the elasticity of the clamping plate prevent damage to the object being gripped.
[0031] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
