INDUSTRIAL PURPOSE TRIPOD MANIPULATOR Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B66C23/44 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, in particular, to robotics. Tripod manipulator contains a base, hinges, actuating links connected to each other by means of a five-movable spherical hinge and with a load-holding part. Actuating links are made in the form of linear drives, each of which is connected to each other and with a two-stage controlled gripper, which is presented in the form of two independent links successively connected to each other in the form of hemispheres and a load gripper. Links are interconnected by means of rotational cylindrical hinges with a fifth class kinematic pair, the two-stage controlled gripper links axes of symmetry are perpendicular to each other, and the five-moving spherical hinge axis of symmetry coincides with one of the axes of the two-stage controlled gripper, each link has a rigid coupling to the inching motor, the base is made in the form of an equilateral triangle, on which the technical vision sensors are mounted.

EFFECT: enabling increase in the speed of the technological operation execution, increase in the functionalities, possibility of more precise positioning.
