[0043] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a mechanical adaptive gripper is provided, which includes finger portions and a palm base 1. Two symmetrically arranged finger portions are provided on the palm base 1, and the distance between the two finger portions is adjustable. Each finger portion includes multiple segments, adjacent fingers are rotatably connected, and the angle between adjacent fingers is adjustable.

[0044] In this embodiment, the spacing between the fingers is adjustable, the fingers are composed of multiple fingers, and the angle between adjacent fingers is adjustable, which can facilitate the gripper's grasping needs for different objects and improve the gripper's adaptability.

[0045] The finger section consists of three segments: the first segment (2), the second segment (3), and the third segment (4).

[0046] The first finger 2 and the second finger are connected by a first pivot 5, and a torsion spring 6 is provided on the first pivot 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first finger joint 2 and the second finger are rotatably connected, and a torsion spring 6 is provided on the first rotating shaft 5.

Two shafts, i.e. the second rotating shaft 12 and the third rotating shaft 13, are penetrated on the connecting rod connecting piece 11. The second rotating shaft 12 connects the connecting rod connecting piece 11 and the shell 7 of the third section finger 4 together, so that the connecting rod connecting piece 11 rotates around the shaft. The third rotating shaft 13 connects the connecting rod connecting piece 11 and the connecting rod 14 together, so that the connecting rod 14 can drive the connecting rod connecting piece 11 to move. The other end of the connecting rod 14 is connected on the adaptive button 8 of the three-section finger through the fourth rotating shaft 15. When the fingers clamp a large object, the object presses the adaptive button 8 of the fingers, the button compresses the reset spring and drives the connecting rod 14, the connecting rod 14 drives the connecting rod connecting piece 11 to rotate, so as to realize the bending of the second section finger 3 and the first section finger 2 to envelope the clamped object. When the pressing force disappears, the reset spring will pop back the adaptive button 8, and drive the first section finger and the second section finger 3 to reset.

[0054] The palm base 1 is provided with a driving device, the finger part comprises a finger connecting piece 17, the finger connecting piece 17 is connected with the driving device, and the driving device drives the movement of the finger part.
