The present invention relates to a gripping device (1), in particular as effector for an industrial robot, comprising first (10) and second (20) clamping jaws which are movable relative to each other to engage a workpiece. The first clamping jaw (10) has a tongue projection (11) and the second clamping jaw (20) has a corresponding groove (21) which at least partly accommodates the tongue projection (11) when the clamping jaws (10, 20) are moved towards each other in order to prevent objects or body parts from being accidentally inserted in the space between the clamping jaws.

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de préhension d'objets, notamment d'objets fragiles tels que des boîtes contenant des oeufs, à l'aide d'un dispositif apte à être fixé sur un robot de manutention, qui comprend au moins une première pince constituée de deux mâchoires (M 1 , M 2 ) mobiles entre deux positions extrêmes, à savoir une position dite "écartée" dans laquelle elles sont inaptes à enserrer un desdits objets, et une position dite "rapprochée" dans laquelle elles sont aptes à enserrer ledit objet, le mouvement d'une position à l'autre s'effectuant dans une direction générale dite "transversale", et au moins une paire de pinces supplémentaires. Selon l'invention, on met en oeuvre les étapes suivantes : a/ saisir une boîte (O 1 , O 2 ; O' 1 , O' 2 ) ou un ensemble de boîtes à l'aide de ladite première pince ; b/ la ou les déposer dans ladite caisse (C) en écartant progressivement les mâchoires (M 1 , M 2 ) de ladite pince ; c/ renouveler les étapes précédentes, si nécessaire, pour remplir la caisse (C) ; d/ actionner lesdites pinces supplémentaires (70, 71), de manière à venir saisir deux parois opposées (C 3 , C 4 ) de ladite caisse (C).
摘要:
A microgripper comprising a planar linear actuator with a fixed end (5), a working end and first and second prestressed adjusting elements made of a structured shape memory alloy foil, wherein forces are produced in the actuator and adjusting elements in opposite directions by means of phase transformation. The gripper has a pair of symmetrically arranged gripper jaws with opposing gripping surfaces whose rear faces form an angle of 0-180 DEG . One side of the first adjusting elements is arranged on said rear faces. The other side thereof is arranged on the working end of the linear actuator. The gripping surfaces can move in relation to each other via the regulating distance of the linear actuator and by deformation of the first flexible element (2). The first and second adjusting elements are fixed to the rear faces at a given distance. One side of the second adjusting elements is fixed to the two ends of the rear faces of the gripper jaws facing away from the gripping surfaces. The other side of said elements is also fixed.

The methods and devices of the invention include an encoder (12), an endoscopic robotics instrument, and an encoder/robotics instrument interface. A preferred embodiment of the encoder has a chest/shoulder plate (214) provided with telescoping tubes, and joints. Each joint is provided with a direct drive potentiometer to monitor movement and provide a corresponding signal. The chest plate (214) is preferably adaptable to a large range of human chest sizes and the telescopic segments are strapped to the arms of the practitioner at the elbows. A pistol grip is provided at the wrist end of the telescopic segments. According to the presently preferred embodiment, the encoder (12) encodes flexion and rotation at the shoulder (34), elbow (36) and wrist (38) of each arm in addition to gripping at each hand (42). The encoding device is coupled to a circuit (14) which operates a servo system (16). The servo system (16) includes a series of servo motors. A series of pulleys corresponding to the number of servo motors (60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 86). The robotics instrument preferably comprises two arms (18) mounted at the distal end of a multi-lumen tube (150). Each arm has rotational and flexion joints (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32) corresponding to the shoulder, elbow and wrist of the practitioner. Tendons are coupled to the pulleys of the servo motors (60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86), and are fed through the multi-lumen tube to the joints (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32) of the two arms.

It is well known to use pneumatically-operated devices for handling containers, such as, gripping finger mechanisms and suction devices. However, the former type of mechanism can be unstable and the contents of the container can easily be spilled as the container is moved from one location to another. In the latter type, the top of the container needs to be undamaged to ensure proper engagement. Described herein is an improved pneumatically-operated device in which a plurality of pistons (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) are housed in a body portion (10), the pistons (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) being operated by an air supply to move a split ring (40) into and out of engagement with a container to move it from one location to another.
摘要:
A robotic manipulator for picking and placing data storage cassettes (60) in an automated storage library. The manipulator has a pair of fingers (10, 20), one finger being longer than the other. An eject bar (30) is located between the fingers and has a tab (40) for pushing a storage cassette into the seated operative position in an IBM 3480 type tape reader. The manipulator approaches the slot in the reader, supporting the data cassette on the long finger and holding it in place with the short finger. The short finger pivots to free the cassette and the eject bar pushes it into the reader. When the eject bar is clear of the long finger it pivots downwards so that the tab engages the top of the cassette and pushes it into the seated position in the reader.
