  • Patent number: 11577406
    Abstract: A vacuum sucker is installed on a robotic arm to suck an object. The robotic arm includes a body and a tip axis. The tip axis is disposed with an adapter plate. The vacuum sucker includes a housing, an actuator, and a flexible suction cup. The actuator passes through the housing and includes a main part, a thrust rod, and an elastic element. The main part has a first end and a hollow slot. The flexible suction cup is sleeved on the first end and is formed with an air chamber. When the thrust rod is located at the first position, the air chamber and the hollow slot are not intercommunicated with each other. When the thrust rod is driven by the adapter plate to move to a second position, the air chamber and the hollow slot are intercommunicated with each other.

  • Patent number: 11554503
    Abstract: A self-propelled gripper is installed on a robotic arm. The robotic arm includes a body and a tip axis. The self-propelled gripper includes a housing, a rotation element, a moving element, and at least one claw body. The housing is fixed on the body. The rotation element is disposed in the housing and secured with the tip axis. The moving element is movably disposed in the housing and is connected to the rotation element. The moving element includes at least one slot. The claw body is pivoted on the housing and partially extends in the corresponding slot. When the rotation element rotates along with the tip axis, the rotation element drives the moving element to process a linear motion along a rotation central line so that the claw body pivotally rotates on the housing.

The vacuum sucker comprises a housing, an actuator, and a flexible suction cup. The housing is fixed on the body. The actuator passes through the housing and includes a main part, a thrust rod, and an elastic element. The main part has a first end and a hollow slot. The thrust rod passes through the hollow slot and detachably thrusts the first end. The elastic element makes the thrust rod tend to a first position. The flexible suction cup is sleeved on the first end and is formed with an air chamber. When the thrust rod is located at the first position, the air chamber and the hollow slot are not intercommunicated with each other. When the thrust rod is driven by the adapter plate to move to a second position, the air chamber and the hollow slot are intercommunicated with each other.
