The spacing adjustment component is mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame. A clamping plate is connected to the lower side of the spacing adjustment component, and a mounting frame is fixed to the upper and lower edges of one side of the clamping plate. An electric telescopic rod is mounted in the middle of one side of the clamping plate, and a movable frame is fixed to one end of the electric telescopic rod. A fixed frame is fixed to the front end of the mounting frame. Both the movable frame and the fixed frame are U-shaped structures, and the movable frame and the mounting frame are slidably connected. A clamping component is mounted on the inner side of both the movable frame and the fixed frame, and the clamping component includes a rotating shaft, a clamping plate, and memory foam. The clamping plate is rotatably mounted on the inner side of both the movable frame and the fixed frame via the rotating shaft, and memory foam is adhered to one side of the clamping plate.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a flexible robot gripper adapting to the contour of a workpiece includes a mounting frame 1, a spacing adjustment assembly 2, and a clamping assembly 9. The spacing adjustment assembly 2 is mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 1. The spacing adjustment assembly 2 includes a bidirectional lead screw 201, a movable sleeve 202, and a connecting plate 203. The bidirectional lead screw 201 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 1, and two movable sleeves 202 are symmetrically sleeved on the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 201. The connecting plate 203 is fixed to the lower side of the movable sleeve 202. The movable sleeves 202 and the connecting plate 203 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. A drive motor 3 is mounted on the outer side of the mounting frame 1. The spacing adjustment assembly 2 also includes a sliding block 204 and a limiting support plate 205. A limiting support plate 205 is fixed to the lower side of the mounting frame 1, and a sliding block 204 is fixed to the lower side of the connecting plate 203. The sliding block 204 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting support plate 205 and slidably connected to the limiting support plate 205. The drive motor 3 facilitates the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 201, which in turn drives the two moving sleeves 202 on the outside of the bidirectional lead screw 201 to move towards each other. This causes the moving sleeves 202 on both sides to drive the sliding blocks 204, the clamping plate 4, and the mounting frame 5 to move. The sliding of the sliding block 204 on the outside of the limiting support plate 205 can enhance the movement stability of the clamping plate 4. At the same time, the limiting support plate 205 can provide force support for the sliding block 204 and the clamping plate 4.
[0023] like Figures 2-3As shown, the lower side of the spacing adjustment component 2 is connected to the clamping plate 4, and the upper and lower edges of one side of the clamping plate 4 are fixed with mounting brackets 5. The connecting plate 203, sliding block 204, clamping plate 4, and mounting bracket 5 are all provided in two sets, left and right. The sliding block 204 and clamping plate 4 are fixedly connected. An electric telescopic rod 6 is installed in the middle of one side of the clamping plate 4, and a movable frame 7 is fixed at one end of the electric telescopic rod 6. A fixed frame 8 is fixed at the front end of the mounting bracket 5. The movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8 are both "U" shaped structures, and the movable frame 7 and the mounting bracket 5 are slidably connected. The spacing adjustment component 2 can adjust the spacing between the clamping plates 4 on both sides, that is, adjust the spacing between the clamping components 9 on both sides. The mounting bracket 5 on one side is equipped with both the movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 6 facilitates the movement of the movable frame 7 to adjust the spacing between the movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8, that is, adjust the spacing between the two clamping components 9 on one side, which is convenient for workpieces of different sizes.
[0024] like Figures 3-4 As shown, clamping components 9 are installed on the inner sides of both the movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8. Each clamping component 9 includes a rotating shaft 901, a clamping plate 902, and memory foam 903. The clamping plate 902 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of both the movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8 via the rotating shaft 901, and memory foam 903 is adhered to one side of the clamping plate 902. The clamping component 9 also includes a fixing plate 904 and a miniature cylinder 905. The fixing plate 904 is also fixed inside the movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8, and a miniature cylinder 905 is installed on one side of the fixing plate 904. The clamping component 9 also includes a push plate 906 and a linkage frame 907. One end of the miniature cylinder 905 is fixed to the push plate 906, and linkage frames 907 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the push plate 906. The clamping plates 902 are symmetrically arranged along their horizontal center lines, and the two ends of the linkage frame 907 are rotatably connected to the clamping plates 902 and the push plate 906 via movable shafts. The clamping plates 902 are rotatably arranged via the rotating shaft 901. Therefore, the extension and retraction of the micro cylinder 905 can drive the push plate 906 to move, thereby enabling the push plate 906 to cooperate with the upper and lower linkage frames 907 to drive the clamping plates 902 to rotate, so as to adjust the clamping degree in a single direction. This allows the two clamping plates 902 on one side to cooperate with each other to stably clamp one side of the workpiece. The clamping degree of the two clamping plates 902 on the inner side of the moving frame 7 and the fixed frame 8 can be adjusted accordingly. At the same time, the memory foam 903 on one side of the clamping plates 902 is a flexible structure, making it suitable for workpieces with different shapes and contours.
[0025] In summary, as Figures 1-4As shown, this flexible robot fixture that adapts to the workpiece contour can be used by first moving the mounting frame 1 to one side of the workpiece, so that the workpiece is located between the mounting frames 5 on both sides. Then, the drive motor 3 drives the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 201, which in turn drives the two moving sleeves 202 on the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 201 to move towards each other. This causes the moving sleeves 202 on both sides to drive the sliding blocks 204, the fixture plate 4, and the mounting frame 5 on both sides to move. This allows the distance between the two fixture plates 4 on both sides to be adjusted, that is, the distance between the clamping components 9 on both sides to be adjusted. During this process, the sliding block 204 sliding on the outer side of the limiting support plate 205 can enhance the movement stability of the fixture plate 4. At the same time, the limiting support plate 205 can provide force support for the sliding block 204 and the fixture plate 4.
[0026] Since the mounting frame 5 on one side is equipped with both a movable frame 7 and a fixed frame 8, the movable frame 7 can be moved by extending and retracting the electric telescopic rod 6 to adjust the distance between the movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8, that is, to adjust the distance between the two clamping components 9 on one side, making it suitable for workpieces of different sizes. Then, the extension and retraction of the micro cylinder 905 can drive the push plate 906 to move, which in turn causes the push plate 906 to work with the upper and lower linkage frames 907 to drive the clamping plate 902 to rotate under the action of the rotating shaft 901, thereby adjusting the clamping degree in one direction. This allows the two clamping plates 902 on one side to cooperate with each other to stably clamp one side of the workpiece. At this time, the clamping degree of the two clamping plates 902 on the inner side of the movable frame 7 and the fixed frame 8 can be adjusted accordingly. At the same time, the memory foam 903 on one side of the clamping plate 902 is a flexible structure, which makes it suitable for workpieces with different shapes and contours. This completes the use process of the flexible robot fixture that adapts to the contour of the workpiece.
