INDUSTRIAL ROBOT GRIPPER Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering, applicable for assembly automation. SUBSTANCE: industrial robot gripper has gripping jaws actuated by a drive and interconnected by a rack gear. The gear uses two racks and a gear wheel. The jaw drive is made in the form of two power cylinders with a different rod stroke. The power cylinder rod having a smaller stroke is connected to the barrel of the second power cylinder. The latter is connected to the remote jaw through a transmission mechanism. The power cylinder rod having a larger stroke is connected to the mentioned jaw. The gear parts of the racks are identical. The racks are spring-loaded in the direction to each other by means of a spring connected to catches. The catches are fastened on racks. The transmission mechanism represents a mechanism for transmission of unilateral linear movement to the power cylinder rod with a larger stroke from its barrel. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 2 cl, 1 dwg
