[0002] Robotic arms need to move continuously during production or operation, which requires changes in the positional relationships between their different arms. In particular, relative rotation between the arms is frequently required. For such movements, a shaft and hole mating mechanism is typically used to allow relative rotation between the two arms. However, the positional relationship between the shaft and hole needs to be fixed, meaning the shaft must not disengage from the hole; therefore, screws are needed for secure fixing.

This utility model's technical solution can improve the reliability of the connection at the robotic arm's pivot point.

[0004] When using the above technology, the following technical problems were found in the existing technology: the mechanical gripper of the existing robotic arm is not stable enough when it is used. Therefore, a robotic arm with stable mechanical gripper is designed to provide another technical solution to the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a robotic arm with stable gripping capabilities to address the aforementioned technical problems, thereby solving the technical issue that the grippers of existing robotic arms are not stable enough when gripping objects.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A mechanical gripper provides a stable gripping robotic arm, comprising a support portion and a gripping portion. The gripping portion is located at one end of the support portion and includes a fixed shell, clamping plates, and locking plates. The fixed shell is fixed to the support portion. Clamping plates are slidably connected to both sides inside one end of the fixed shell. Locking plates are provided on adjacent sides of the two clamping plates.

The adjustment assembly includes a fixed frame, a translation plate, an adjustment plate and a limiting rod. Fixed frames are fixed on both sides inside the fixed shell. Translation plates are slidably connected to the inside of one end of each of the two fixed frames. An adjustment plate is provided inside the fixed shell and between the two fixed frames. Limiting rods are rotatably connected to both ends of the bottom of the adjustment plate. The end of the limiting rod away from the adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the translation plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the mechanical arm with stable gripping provided by this utility model, an adjustment drive motor is fixed inside the fixed shell and located between two fixed frames. The output end of the adjustment drive motor is connected to an adjustment threaded rod, and the outer side of the adjustment threaded rod is threadedly connected to an adjustment plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the mechanical gripper that provides stable mechanical arm gripping according to the present invention, a rotating assembly for driving the plate to rotate is installed on the clamping plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 A mechanical gripper for stable clamping includes a support part 1 and a clamping part. The clamping part is located at one end of the support part 1, so that the clamping part can be adjusted to multiple angles through the operation of the support part 1, thereby clamping objects at different angles. The clamping part includes a fixed shell 2, clamping plates 8 and clamping plates 11. The fixed shell 2 is fixed to the support part 1. The clamping plates 8 are slidably connected to both sides inside one end of the fixed shell 2, so that the two clamping plates 8 can clamp objects when brought close together. A clamping plate 11 is provided on the adjacent side of the two clamping plates 8, so that objects can be clamped by the two clamping plates 11 being brought close together. A positioning plate 12 is bolted to the bottom and top of the adjacent end of the two clamping plates 11, so that the clamped objects are more stable and prevented from slipping.

[0030] The fixed shell 2 is equipped with an adjustment assembly for driving the two clamping plates 8 to move in opposite directions. The adjustment assembly includes a fixed frame 3, a translation plate 4, an adjustment plate 5, and a limiting rod 6. Fixed frames 3 are fixed on both sides inside the fixed shell 2. The translation plates 4 are slidably connected to the interior of one end of each of the two fixed frames 3, so that the translation plates 4 can slide inside the corresponding fixed frames 3. An adjustment plate 5 is set inside the fixed shell 2 and between the two fixed frames 3. The two ends of the bottom of the adjustment plate 5 are rotatably connected to the limiting rod 6. The end of the limiting rod 6 away from the adjustment plate 5 is rotatably connected to the translation plate 4. Thus, through the rotation of the limiting rod 6 and the translation plate 4, the rising of the adjustment plate 5 drives the two translation plates 4 to move closer together.

[0031] An adjustment drive motor 9 is fixed inside the fixed housing 2 and located between two fixed frames 3. The output end of the adjustment drive motor 9 is connected to an adjustment threaded rod 10. The outer side of the adjustment threaded rod 10 is threadedly connected to the adjustment plate 5, so that the rotation of the adjustment threaded rod 10 drives the adjustment plate 5 to move inside the fixed housing 2.

[0032] The clamping plate 8 is equipped with a rotating assembly for driving the clamping plate 11 to rotate. The rotating assembly includes a synchronous shaft 13, a rotary drive motor 14, a first gear 15, a second gear 16, a synchronous block 17, and a fastening screw 18. The synchronous shaft 13 is slidably connected inside the clamping plate 8 and is slidably connected to the clamping plate 11, so that when the synchronous shaft 13 is inside the clamping plate 8, it also enters the interior of the clamping plate 11. A fastening screw 18 is provided inside one end of the clamping plate 11. The tail end of the fastening screw 18 passes through the synchronous shaft 13 and is threadedly connected to the clamping plate 11, so that the rotation of the synchronous shaft 13 can drive the clamping plate 11 to rotate synchronously through the fastening screw 18. An anti-rotation hole 7 is provided inside the synchronous shaft 13, so that when the tail end of the fastening screw 18 is inside the synchronous shaft 13, it is located inside the anti-rotation hole 7.

[0033] A second gear 16 is provided inside the synchronous shaft 13 and at one end of the clamping plate 11. A synchronous block 17 is fixed to one end of the synchronous shaft 13. The outer side of the synchronous block 17 is slidably connected to the second gear 16. When the synchronous shaft 13 drives the synchronous block 17 into the interior of the clamping plate 8, the synchronous shaft 13 is fixed to the clamping plate 11 by the fastening screw 18. At the same time, the synchronous block 17 enters the interior of the second gear 16, and the rotation of the second gear 16 drives the synchronous block 17 to rotate synchronously. A rotary drive motor 14 is fixed to one side of the clamping plate 8. The output end of the rotary drive motor 14 is connected to a first gear 15. The first gear 15 is meshed with the second gear 16, and the rotation of the first gear 15 drives the synchronous block 17 through the second gear 16, thereby driving the synchronous shaft 13 to rotate.

[0034] The mechanical gripper with stable clamping provided by this utility model is used as follows: When clamping an object, the first step is to determine whether the object is rectangular or circular. When the object is rectangular, the first gear 15 is rotated by the operation of the rotary drive motor 14. The rotation of the first gear 15 drives the meshing second gear 16 to rotate the synchronizing block 17. The rotation of the synchronizing block 17 drives the synchronizing shaft 13 to rotate synchronously. The synchronizing shaft 13 drives the clamping plate 11 to rotate through the fastening screw 18. The angle of the clamping plate 11 on the clamping plate 8 is adjusted so that the two positioning plates 12 on the clamping plate 11 are parallel, thereby enabling the clamping of rectangular objects.

[0035] When the clamping plate 11 needs to be disassembled, turn the fastening screw 18 to disengage the clamping screw 18 from the clamping plate 11, and then push the synchronizing block 17 so that the synchronizing shaft 13 and the synchronizing block 17 slide away from the clamping plate 8 and the clamping plate 11, and the synchronizing block 17 disengages from the second gear 16, thereby enabling the clamping plate 11 to be repaired or replaced.

[0036] When the working of the support part 1 drives the fixed shell 2 to approach the clamped object, after the object is located between the two clamping plates 11, the working of the drive motor 9 drives the adjusting threaded rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting threaded rod 10 drives the threaded adjusting plate 5 to move. The movement of the adjusting plate 5 drives the two translation plates 4 to move closer through the two limit rods 6. The movement of the translation plates 4 drives the clamping plate 8 to move, so that the two clamping plates 8 approach and clamp the object.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. The present utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
