Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics, and in particular to a robotic gripper. Background Technology
[0002] Robot grippers, as the core component of end effectors in industrial robots, are widely used in automation fields such as material handling and precision assembly. Their performance directly affects the stability and safety of workpiece gripping. Especially when automating the handling of vulnerable parts, such as glass products and precision components, the adaptability of the gripping mechanism becomes a key technical challenge.
[0003] Current mainstream technologies mostly employ pneumatically or electrically driven rigid gripper structures, achieving gripping through the synchronous movement of two or three fingers along a preset trajectory. Typical solutions include parallel gripper mechanisms based on linear guides, using cylinders to drive the gripper arms to open and close linearly, or using rotary servo motors in conjunction with linkage mechanisms to achieve arc-shaped gripping movements. These structures typically rely on high-rigidity metal gripping surfaces in direct contact with the workpiece.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned rigid clamping method has certain drawbacks. When gripping curved workpieces or brittle materials, the fixed-shaped grippers can only produce point contact or line contact, resulting in stress concentration in local areas. This non-uniform pressure distribution can easily cause indentations or even structural damage to the workpiece surface, which seriously restricts its application in high-end manufacturing fields such as precision electronic components and optical glass. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a robotic gripper, which aims to improve the problem of excessive stress concentration in rigid clamping.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a robot gripper, including a base, a connecting plate rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base, a lower connecting seat fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the connecting plate, and a clamping assembly disposed inside the lower connecting seat;
[0007] The clamping assembly includes an upper jaw and a lower clamping block. The upper connecting seat is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower connecting seat. The upper jaw is disposed inside the upper connecting seat. A through slot is formed inside the upper jaw. The through slot is connected to the upper connecting seat by a long pin. A fixing block is disposed inside the lower connecting seat. The lower clamping block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block. The fixing block is connected to the lower connecting seat by a fixing pin. An adjustment assembly is disposed inside the fixing block.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a second slot and a second long pin. The outer wall of the second long pin is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block. The second slot is opened through the interior of the lower clamping block. The outer wall of the second long pin is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slot. A short pin is fixedly connected to one end of the second long pin. The outer wall of the short pin is slidably connected to the interior of the fixed block. The outer wall of the short pin is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slot.
[0009] Furthermore, a locking rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing nail, the outer wall of the locking rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second long pin, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to one end of the locking rod.
[0010] Furthermore, a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the clamp rod, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing nail.
[0011] Furthermore, a hydraulic rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower connecting seat, and the output end of the hydraulic rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the upper connecting seat. A hydraulic pump is provided outside the base, and the hydraulic rod is hydraulically connected to the hydraulic pump.

[0013] Furthermore, a bearing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the large gear, with the rotating shaft located inside the bearing plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pinion, and a motor is provided outside the base, with the output end of the motor fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, the opening and closing angle of the upper jaw is precisely controlled by the hydraulic drive system, and a synergistic clamping force field is formed by the longitudinal sliding of the lower jaw block. The adaptive characteristics of the double jaws can accommodate complex contours such as cylinders and irregularly shaped parts. There is no slippage during the clamping process and the pressure distribution is uniform. It has a higher workpiece protection rate than traditional rigid jaws, and is especially suitable for non-destructive gripping of fragile objects such as glass products and precision parts.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, the spring locking mechanism enables single-handed operation and adjustment. After pulling the pull ring to unlock, the lower clamping block can slide freely to the required tilt angle. The cooperation between the long pin and the slot ensures accurate positioning at multiple angles. Releasing the pull ring will automatically lock the mechanism. Compared with the traditional tool adjustment method, it significantly shortens the tooling switching time and meets the high-efficiency gripping needs of workpieces of various specifications.
