Large-stroke electric clamping jaw
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of automation, in particular to a large-stroke electric clamping jaw.
Background
In the industrial automation industry, a mobile robot can adopt a mechanical arm to carry and sort materials, such as a sorting robot and an explosion-eliminating robot.
In medical automation devices, such as blood analyzers, biochemical analyzers, blood smear preparation machines, manipulators are also used to perform tube, tube rack and slide scheduling, and in some applications, the manipulator end grippers are often implemented with pneumatic jaws.
However, the pneumatic clamping jaw needs to adopt an air pump, so that the pneumatic clamping jaw has a plurality of limitations in some occasions, in addition, the pneumatic clamping jaw can also generate environmental noise, and the clamping angle of the pneumatic clamping jaw is usually specific, so that the electric clamping jaw is arranged, an air source is abandoned, a factory is simplified, and the pneumatic clamping jaw is powered on.
In the prior art, an electric clamping jaw is usually driven and controlled by a servo motor or a stepping motor, so that clamping of the clamping jaw is realized. After the object is clamped, the motor directly drives the clamping jaw to move, so that the clamping jaw overshoots, the clamped object is impacted, the object is damaged, and the clamping jaw transmission system is impacted, so that the service life of the system is reduced.
In the prior art, the opening and closing travel of the electric clamping jaw is generally only within 0-30mm, an object with a larger appearance cannot be clamped, and the application range is limited.
