[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a medical robotic arm, including a fixing plate 1, a dovetail seat 2 on the fixing plate 1, and a dovetail slide rail 3 slidably connected inside the dovetail seat 2; a rack 4 on the dovetail slide rail 3; a gripper assembly 5 connected to the lower end of the dovetail slide rail 3; the dovetail seat 2 includes a dovetail body 21; two positioning bearings 23 are fixedly connected to one side of the dovetail body 21 by short plug screws 22; a bearing fixing block 25 is connected to the other side of the dovetail body 21 by long plug screws 24; two positioning bearings 23 are fixedly connected to the bearing fixing block 25 by short plug screws 22; bearing adjusting blocks 26 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the dovetail body 21; each of the two bearing adjusting blocks 26 is provided with an external screw bearing 27. By setting multiple positioning bearings 23 to cooperate with the dovetail slide rail 3, the running trajectory of the dovetail slide rail 3 is limited, effectively preventing it from deviating.
[0023] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed plate 1 is provided with a motor bracket 6; the motor bracket 6 is equipped with a lifting motor 7; the output shaft of the lifting motor 7 is provided with a drive wheel 8; the drive wheel 8 is connected to the driven wheel 10 through a synchronous belt 9; the driven wheel 10 is sleeved on a gear shaft 11; the gear shaft 11 passes through the side wall of the dovetail body 21 and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the dovetail body 21 through a bearing 12; one end of the gear shaft 11 is provided with a gear 13; the gear 13 is located inside the dovetail body 21 and meshes with the rack 4; the other end of the gear shaft 11 is provided with an eccentric sleeve 14.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gripper 510 is provided with an anti-slip pad 511 on its inner side, which can effectively prevent slippage during gripping.
[0026] Working principle: During grasping, the robotic arm moves above the object to be grasped.
