Furthermore, the capturing surface mechanism belongs to a foldable structure and has the characteristics of high modularization degree, strong telescopic performance, good mechanical property, simple structure, high rigidity and the like.
Specifically, two connecting seats and a capturing surface mechanism in the same folding and unfolding unit form a capturing surface of a mechanical gripper, each capturing surface has a folding state (at the moment, the distance between the two connecting seats is the shortest, and two scissor rods in the capturing surface mechanism are folded), an unfolding state (at the moment, the distance between the two connecting seats is gradually increased, the two scissor rods in the capturing surface mechanism are gradually unfolded and the whole capturing preparation posture is presented), a capturing state (a posture that adjacent folding and unfolding units are overturned towards one direction to capture a target object is presented), and the capturing surface is switched between the folding state, the unfolding state and the capturing state under the driving of a driving device.
More specifically, in the process of switching the deployment state to the capture state in the present invention, a metamorphic process is required, and the metamorphic process of the metamorphic mechanism in the above technical solution is: in a furled state, the head end of the first connecting rod extends into the first connecting groove and is positioned close to the opening of the first connecting groove, and the head end of the second connecting rod is positioned in the outer groove of the second connecting groove and is positioned close to the opening of the outer groove; the catching face mechanism is gradually unfolded along with the switching to the unfolding state, wherein the first connecting rod slides towards the center of the connecting seat along the first connecting groove, the second connecting rod slides towards the center of the connecting seat along the second connecting groove, and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod only slide but do not rotate in the unfolding state of the folding and unfolding unit.
When the folding and unfolding unit is unfolded to the maximum degree, the sliding section of the second connecting rod completely penetrates through the outer groove of the second connecting groove and extends into the inner groove, correspondingly, the groove wall of the inner groove and the sliding section are not in contact with each other, so that the sliding section rotates relative to the inner groove, and at the moment, the rotating section of the second connecting rod extends into the outer groove to form hole-shaft matching.
