[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a gripper mechanism for grasping cylindrical objects includes a fixed frame 1 and a fixing device 4. A cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed frame 1, and a connecting block 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 2. Both the fixed frame 1 and the connecting block 3 are provided with fixing devices 4. Each fixing device 4 includes a rotating column 41, the surface of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. Four locking blocks 42 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating column 41, and clamping blocks 43 are fitted onto the surface of each locking block 42. The inner walls of the clamping block 43 and the locking block 42 are threaded with positioning pins 44. During operation, the clamping block 43 is placed on the surface of the locking block 42, and then the positioning pin 44 is rotated to the inner wall of the clamping block 43 and the locking block 42. Then, the rotating column 41 is rotated to make the rotating column 41 rotate on the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. The rotating column 41 drives the locking block 42 and the clamping block 43 to rotate. When the cylinder 2 is started, the two clamping blocks 43 will clamp the object. By setting the rotating column 41, the locking block 42, the clamping block 43 and the positioning pin 44, objects of different shapes can be clamped.

[0024] The surface of the clamping block 43 is provided with a slot 45, and the clamping block 42 is inserted into the inner surface of the slot 45 of the clamping block 43. During operation, the clamping block 43 is fitted onto the surface of the clamping block 42 through the slot 45. The slot 45 facilitates the clamping block 43 to store the clamping block 42.

[0025] The surface of the clamping block 43 is provided with a rubber layer; during operation, the rubber layer on the clamping block 43 will be pressed against the surface of the object, and the rubber layer can increase the friction between the clamping block 43 and the object.

[0026] The surface of the fixing frame 1 is provided with multiple adapter holes 46, and the inner wall of the rotating column 41 is threaded with two limiting pins 47. The surface of the limiting pins 47 is threaded to the inner wall of the adapter holes 46 of the fixing frame 1. During operation, the limiting pins 47 are rotated to the inner wall of the rotating column 41 and the inner wall of the adapter holes 46 of the fixing frame 1. The setting of the limiting pins 47 can limit the angle of the rotating column 41.

[0027] A rotating hole 48 is provided on the surface of the fixed frame 1 near the rotating column 41. The inner wall of the rotating hole 48 of the fixed frame 1 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating column 41. During operation, the rotating column 41 rotates on the inner wall of the rotating hole 48. The opening of the rotating hole 48 facilitates the rotation of the rotating column 41 on the inner wall of the fixed frame 1.

[0028] The upper surface of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a connecting device 5, which includes a placement plate 51. The bottom end of the placement plate 51 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 1. A movable plate 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement plate 51. Two fixing pins 53 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the movable plate 52. During operation, the movable plate 52 is pushed to slide on the inner wall of the placement plate 51. The movable plate 52 moves to a suitable position, and then the movable plate 52 is attached to other equipment. Then the fixing pins 53 are rotated to the inner wall of the movable plate 52 and other equipment. By setting the placement plate 51, the movable plate 52 and the positioning pins 44, the fixed frame 1 and other equipment can be fixed together.

[0029] The inner surface of the placement plate 51 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 54. The surface of the threaded rod 54 has two opposite thread lines. The surface of the threaded rod 54 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the movable plate 52. A filling pad 55 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 52. During operation, rotating the threaded rod 54 causes it to rotate within the inner walls of the two movable plates 52, which in turn moves the position of the movable plate 52. When the movable plate 52 is in contact with other equipment, the filling pad 55 will press against the other equipment. By setting the threaded rod 54, the position of the movable plate 52 can be easily adjusted, while also restricting its position.

[0030] Working principle: When a cylindrical object needs to be picked up, clamping blocks 43 of different shapes are fitted onto the surface of clamping block 42 through slots 45. Then, the positioning pin 44 is rotated to the inner wall of clamping block 43 and clamping block 42. When objects of different shapes need to be picked up, the rotating column 41 is pushed to rotate within the rotating hole 48 on the fixed frame 1 or connecting block 3. When the rotating column 41 rotates, it drives the clamping block 42 and clamping block 43 to rotate. After the clamping block 43 rotates to the appropriate angle, the limiting pin 47 is rotated to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1 and the inner wall of the matching hole 46 of the rotating column 41. When the cylinder 2 is started, the cylinder 2 drives the connecting block 3 to move, and the connecting block 3 drives the clamping block 43 to move. The two clamping blocks 43 will clamp the object. By setting the entire device, it can... It is convenient to pick up cylindrical objects and can also adapt to objects of different sizes, reducing the time wasted on changing clamping parts. When using the gripper structure, rotating the threaded rod 54 causes the threaded rod 54 to rotate on the inner surface of the placement plate 51 and the inner wall of the moving plate 52. The threaded rod 54 drives the moving plate 52 to move. After the moving plate 52 moves to the appropriate position, it is placed against other equipment. Then, the fixing pin 53 is rotated to the inner wall of the moving plate 52 and other equipment. When the moving plate 52 moves, it will drive the filling pad 55 to move. The filling pad 55 is pressed against the surface of other equipment. By setting the entire device, the position of the fixing frame 1 can be fixed, and it can also adapt to different mounting holes on other equipment to a certain extent.
