Abstract
A gripper base is provided, including a housing, a movable member, an elastic member, a position restricting mechanism, a guiding rod, and an engaging member. The elastic member is connected to the housing and the movable member. The position restricting mechanism is disposed on the movable member, and includes a groove and a block, wherein the groove surrounds the block. The groove has a top surface, and the block has an upper surface facing the top surface. The top surface has a protrusion protruding toward the block, and the upper surface has a concave structure. One end of the guiding rod is pivotally connected to the housing, and the other end of the guiding rod enters the groove. The engaging member is pivotally connected to the movable member.
Claims13
A gripper base, comprising:
- a housing;
- a movable member;
- an elastic member, connected to the housing and the movable member;
- a position restricting mechanism, disposed on the movable member, comprising:
- a groove, having a top surface;
- and
- a block, having an upper surface facing the top surface, wherein the groove surrounds the block, the top surface has a protrusion protruding toward the block, and the upper surface has a concave structure, wherein the protrusion has a first bottom end, and the first bottom end includes an acute angle structure;
- a guiding rod, wherein one end of the guiding rod is pivotally connected to the housing, and another end of the guiding rod enters the groove;
- and
- an engaging member, pivotally connected to the movable member.
A gripper system, comprising:
- a gripper device;
- at least one connecting member, disposed on the gripper device;
- at least one claw flake, having a protruding portion;
- a second connecting member, disposed on the claw flake, wherein the flake is detachably connected to the gripper device via a magnetic attracting force between the first connecting member and the second connecting member;
- and
- a gripper base, comprising:
- a housing;
- a movable member;
- an elastic member, connected to the housing and the movable member;
- a position restricting mechanism, disposed on the movable member, comprising:
- a groove, having a top surface;
- and
- a block, having an upper surface facing the top surface, wherein the groove surrounds the block, the top surface has a protrusion protruding toward the block, and the upper surface has a concave structure;
- a guiding rod, wherein one end of the guiding rod is pivotally connected to the housing, and the other end of the guiding rod enters the groove;
- and
- an engaging member, pivotally connected to the movable member;
- wherein when the gripper device brings the claw flake to move toward the gripper base along a first axis, the claw flake contacts and pushes the engaging member from an open angle to a closed angle, and the engaging member affixes the claw flake to the gripper base.
