Detachable Modular Universal Gripper Device

Detachable Modular Universal Gripper Device

This technology separates the gripping unit from the electronic control module and utilizes a spring pin and conductive plate contact structure between modules to ensure versatility in robot server interfacing and control signal connectivity.

Conventional grippers have fixed specifications and functions, making it difficult to adapt to diverse working environments or different robot arm communication protocols, and they suffer from inefficiencies requiring the replacement of the entire unit during maintenance.

This technology features a design where the jaw module and drive module are detachable within the housing, and the electronic module that communicates with external robot servers is implemented as a separate, detachable structure. In particular, the use of spring pins and conductive plates allows for automatic electrical connection upon mechanical coupling, enhancing the convenience of module replacement. Applicable to logistics picking, service robots, and manufacturing automation, it improves adaptability to various working environments and maximizes operational flexibility by defining the gripper's configuration through individual modules.

Key Features:

• A detachable modular universal gripper device where the conductive plate is a metal plate capable of conducting electricity that contacts the spring pins in a 1:1 ratio.
• The electronic module includes a robot server interface unit for inputting and outputting first signals to and from external devices.
• A drive module control unit for inputting and outputting power or second signals to the drive module.
• A power transmission unit that transfers the rotational force of the motor unit to the driving force of the jaw module.
