[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of this utility model, and not for limiting the patent claims of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feed stacking gripping mechanism involved in this embodiment includes a fixed platform 1, and a left suspension 2 and a right suspension 3 are provided below the fixed platform 1;

[0022] The left suspension 2 is provided with a left wing 4 extending to the left. The inner end of the left wing 4 is rotatably connected to two left clamping arms 5 arranged symmetrically front and back. A left spoke 6 is connected between the two left clamping arms 5. The left spoke 6 is provided with several left L-shaped claw hooks 7 arranged equidistantly front and back. A left connecting rod 8 is also connected between the two left clamping arms 5. A left push rod cylinder 9 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the left wing 4. The telescopic rod end of the left push rod cylinder 9 is hinged to the left connecting rod 8.

[0023] The right suspension 3 is provided with a right wing 10 extending to the right. The inner end of the right wing 10 is rotatably connected to two right clamping arms 11 arranged symmetrically front and back. A right spoke 12 is connected between the two right clamping arms 11. The right spoke 12 is provided with several right L-shaped claw hooks 13 arranged equidistantly front and back. A right connecting rod 14 is also connected between the two right clamping arms 11. The outer end of the right wing 10 is rotatably connected to a right push rod cylinder 15. The telescopic rod end of the right push rod cylinder 15 is hinged to the right connecting rod 14.

[0024] Furthermore, the fixed platform 1 is provided with a left linear guide rail 16 extending left and right, and a left linear slider 17 is slidably connected to the left linear guide rail 16. The left suspension 2 is mounted on the left linear slider 17. The fixed platform 1 is provided with a right linear guide rail 18 extending left and right, and a right linear slider 19 is slidably connected to the right linear guide rail 18. The right suspension 3 is mounted on the right linear slider 19. The fixed platform 1 is provided with a mounting base 20, and a bidirectional lead screw 21 with its axis extending left and right is rotatably connected to the mounting base 20. The bidirectional lead screw 21 includes a first lead screw 22 and a second lead screw 23 with opposite rotation directions. A first lead screw nut 24 is threaded onto the lead screw 22, and a second lead screw nut 25 is threaded onto the second lead screw 23. The left suspension 2 is connected to the first lead screw nut 24, and the right suspension 3 is connected to the second lead screw nut 25. A power assembly for controlling rotation is driven onto the bidirectional lead screw 21. The power assembly includes a motor 26, a drive gear 27, and a driven gear 28. The driven gear 28 is coaxially mounted on the bidirectional lead screw 21. The drive gear 27 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 26. The motor 26 is mounted on the mounting base 20. The drive gear 27 meshes with the driven gear 28.

[0025] In this embodiment, extending the left push rod cylinder 9 causes the left gripping arm 5, carrying the left L-shaped claw hook 7, to rotate inward. Extending the right push rod cylinder 15 causes the right gripping arm 11, carrying the right L-shaped claw hook 13, to rotate inward, thereby enabling the gripping mechanism to perform a clamping action. Conversely, extending the right push rod cylinder 15 causes the gripping arm 5 to rotate inward.

[0026] Specifically, by operating motor 26, the drive gear 27 rotates clockwise. Through inter-mechanism transmission, this causes the left suspension 2 to move away from the right suspension 3 and the right suspension 3 to move away from the left suspension 2, increasing the effective clamping width. By operating motor 26, the drive gear 27 rotates counterclockwise. Through inter-mechanism transmission, this causes the left suspension 2 to move towards the right suspension 3 and the right suspension 3 to move towards the left suspension 2, decreasing the effective clamping width.

[0027] The linear guide rail, in conjunction with the linear slider, serves as a sliding guide.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feed stacking gripping mechanism involved in this embodiment is further configured based on embodiment 1, wherein a support platform 29 is provided below the fixed platform 1 between the left clamping arm 5 and the right clamping arm 11, and a side frame 30 is connected between the support platform 29 and the fixed platform 1.

[0030] Furthermore, an elastic element 31 is arranged at the end of the support platform 29 facing away from the fixed platform 1. The elastic element 31 is a soft rubber column.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support platform 29 is used to support and tighten the upper surface of the material when gripping it.

[0032] The elastic element 31 acts as an elastic pad.

[0033] The feed stacking gripping mechanism involved in this utility model can be used in conjunction with roller conveyors with gaps between adjacent rollers. It is convenient to grip, highly specialized, and the gripping width is adjustable, making it easy to adjust, highly adaptable, and with complete overall functions and strong practicality.
