A gripper 711 is connected to the side of the device. A connecting plate 712 is connected to one side of the surface of the fourth gear rod 710. A third connecting rod 713 is connected to one side of the surface of the connecting plate 712. A fourth connecting rod 714 is connected to one side of the surface of the connecting plate 712. When grasping an object, the drone is first docked on top of the object to be grasped. Then, the first reduction motor 701 and the second reduction motor 702 are started simultaneously. Afterward, the first reduction motor 701 and the second reduction motor 702 synchronously drive one side of the first folding rod 705 and the second folding rod 706 to rotate. Then, the first folding rod 705... 5. The second folding rod 706 will drive the first gear rod 707 and the third gear rod 709 on one side of its surface to mesh on the surface of the first connecting rod 703 and the second connecting rod 704. At the same time, the first folding rod 705 and the second folding rod 706 will drive the second gear rod 708 and the fourth gear rod 710 on the other side of their surfaces to mesh on the surface of the third connecting rod 713 and the fourth connecting rod 714. At this time, the gripping claw 711 on one side of the surface of the connecting plate 712 begins to descend steadily.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of the first reduction motor 701 passes through the fixing plate 509 and is connected to the first folding rod 705, and one end of the second reduction motor 702 passes through the fixing plate 509 and is connected to the second folding rod 706. Through the arrangement of the first folding rod 705 and the second folding rod 706, in use, while one side of the first folding rod 705 is driven by the first reduction motor 701, the first folding rod 705 can drive the first gear rod 707 and the second gear rod 708 on one side of its surface to mesh with the third gear rod 709 and the fourth gear rod 710. While the second folding rod 706 is driven by the first reduction motor 701, the second folding rod 706 can drive the third gear rod 709 and the fourth gear rod 710 on one side of its surface to mesh with the first gear rod 707 and the second gear rod 708.
[0025] Furthermore, one end of the first connecting rod 703 is connected through to the first gear rod 707, and one end of the second connecting rod 704 is engaged with the third gear rod 709. The engagement of the first gear rod 707 and the third gear rod 709, through the arrangement of the first gear rod 707 and the third gear rod 709, can make the subsequent lifting and lowering of the gripper 711 more stable during use.
[0026] Furthermore, one end of the third connecting rod 713 is connected through the second gear rod 708, and one end of the fourth connecting rod 714 is engaged with the fourth gear rod 710. The second gear rod 708 and the fourth gear rod 710 are engaged. Through the arrangement of the second gear rod 708 and the fourth gear rod 710, when the second gear rod 708 and the fourth gear rod 710 are engaged, the subsequent gripper 711 can be more stable when lifting and lowering.
[0027] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism 5 includes a control motor 501, a first fixed block 502, a second fixed block 503, a first roller 504, a guide rail 505, a second roller 506, a third roller 507, a first conveyor belt 508, a fixed plate 509, a second conveyor belt 510, and a sliding shaft 511. The control motor 501 is mounted on the surface of the fixed support plate 1. One end of the support rod 3 is connected to the first fixed block 502, and the other end is connected to the second fixed block 503. The first roller 504 is connected to one side of the surface of the control motor 501. The guide rail 505 is connected to one side of the surface of the first fixed block 502. The second roller 506 is connected to one side of the surface of the first fixed block 502. The third roller 507 is connected to one side of the surface of the second fixed block 503. The first conveyor belt 508 is sleeved on one side of the surface of the first roller 504. One end of the guide rail 505 passes through the fixed plate 509. The second conveyor belt 510 is sleeved on one side of the surface of the third roller 507. The fixed plate 509 contains... The sliding shaft 511, through the arrangement of the control motor 501, the first fixed block 502, the second fixed block 503, the first roller 504, the guide rail 505, the second roller 506, the third roller 507, the first conveyor belt 508, the fixing plate 509, the second conveyor belt 510, and the sliding shaft 511, allows for the following adjustment of the gripper 711: First, the control motor 501 is started, then the control motor 501 drives the first conveyor belt 508 to rotate via the first roller 504. The first conveyor belt 508 drives the third roller 507 on one side of the surface of the second fixed block 503 to rotate. Then the third roller 507 drives the second conveyor belt 510 to rotate. Then the second conveyor belt 510 drives the second roller 506 on one side of the surface of the first fixed block 502 to rotate. At this time, the second conveyor belt 510 will pull the fixed plate 509 to move. At the same time, the sliding shaft 511 installed on the inner side of the fixed plate 509 will move on the surface of the guide rail 505. At this time, the left and right positions of the clamping claw 711 can be adjusted.
[0028] Furthermore, the first conveyor belt 508 is sleeved on one side of the surface of the third roller 507, and the second conveyor belt 510 is sleeved on one side of the surface of the second roller 506. Through the arrangement of the third roller 507 and the first conveyor belt 508, the second roller 506 can make the first conveyor belt 508 rotate faster during use, while reducing the friction of the first conveyor belt 508 and extending its service life. When the first conveyor belt 508 rotates, it can pull the fixed plate 509 to move, thereby changing the position of the clamping claw 711.
[0029] Furthermore, the two ends of the second conveyor belt 510 are respectively connected to one side of the surface of the fixed plate 509, and one end of the guide rail 505 passes through the sliding shaft 511 and is connected to the second fixed block 503. With the setting of the guide rail 505 and the sliding shaft 511, when in use, adding the guide rail 505 can make the first conveyor belt 508 pull the fixed plate 509 to move more stably, while adding the sliding shaft 511 can reduce the friction between the fixed plate 509 and the guide rail 505, so that the first conveyor belt 508 can pull the fixed plate 509 to move faster.
[0030] Working principle: First, when the gripper 711 needs to be adjusted left and right, the control motor 501 is started. Then, the control motor 501 drives the first conveyor belt 508 to rotate via the first roller 504. The first conveyor belt 508 then drives the third roller 507 on one side of the surface of the second fixed block 503 to rotate. The third roller 507 then drives the second conveyor belt 510 to rotate. The second conveyor belt 510 then drives the second roller 506 on one side of the surface of the first fixed block 502 to rotate. At this time, the second conveyor belt 510 pulls the fixed plate 509 to move. Simultaneously, the sliding shaft 511 installed inside the fixed plate 509 moves on the surface of the guide rail 505. This allows adjustment of the left and right position of the gripper 711. When gripping an object, the drone is first docked on top of the object to be gripped, and then the first reduction motor 701 is started simultaneously. 1. The first and second reduction motors 701 and 702 synchronously drive one side of the first folding rod 705 and the second folding rod 706 to rotate. Then, the first folding rod 705 and the second folding rod 706 drive the first gear rod 707 and the third gear rod 709 on one side of their surfaces to mesh on one side of the first connecting rod 703 and the second connecting rod 704. At the same time, the first folding rod 705 and the second folding rod 706 drive the second gear rod 708 and the fourth gear rod 710 on the other side of their surfaces to mesh on one side of the third connecting rod 713 and the fourth connecting rod 714. At this time, the gripping claw 711 on one side of the connecting plate 712 begins to descend steadily. While descending, the gripping claw 711 begins to tighten and grasp the object, thus completing a drone gripping device.
