Gripper replacement device

Abstract

A gripper replacement device, includes a claw, a bearing platform, an adjustment assembly, and a drive assembly. Through the embodiment of the application, when replacing the gripper of the AMR, the gripper mounting structure drives the original gripper to move to the corresponding position above the placement structure, the drive assembly drives the adjustment assembly to drive the claw to gradually approach the connecting column so that the pressing surface presses against the connecting column. This action releases the connection between the original gripper and the gripper mounting structure, and the original gripper then falls onto the placement structure; the gripper mounting structure moves to above the placement structure where the new gripper is placed, and gradually moves down to dock with the new gripper; the drive assembly drives the adjustment assembly to drive the claw close to the joint between the new gripper and the robotic arm until the pressing surface presses against the connecting column, ensuring the new gripper is fully docked with the gripper mounting structure; the claw is then moved away from the connecting column to complete the connection between the new gripper and the gripper mounting structure. Finally, rapid replacement of the gripper is achieved, shortening the replacement time of the gripper and thereby improving wafer handling efficiency. Fig 1.
