COMBINATION MECHANISM WITH COMPLEX MOTION OF OUTLET LINKS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B25J18/04 

FIELD: apparatuses for maintaining machines and equipment providing clamping of article for moving it from one position to other.

SUBSTANCE: combination mechanism includes transfer mechanism with kinematically coupled driving and outlet links and actuating mechanism with outlet links having jaws for clamping articles while driving link of actuating mechanism being outlet link of transfer mechanism, and stationary follower. Kinematics connection of driving and outlet links of transfer mechanism includes intermediate links in the form of pusher and rotary guide. Pusher is joined with driving link and it is jointly coupled with outlet link whose rotary guide is joined to outlet link with possibility of rotation and jointly coupled with strut. Cam is used as driving link of transfer mechanism; pusher joined with cam has zero eccentricity value and it is provide with roller for engaging with profiled cam. Outlet links of actuating mechanism are jointly coupled with outlet links of transfer mechanism and they are provided with rollers for engaging with shaped grooves of body of follower.

EFFECT: enhanced operation accuracy, increased repetition frequency of working cycles.
