Abstract
Disclosed is an elastic corrugated pipe single-acting cylinder-driven mechanical gripper with a series-connection flexible hinge framework. The mechanical gripper consists of a palm and two flexible fingers or a palm and three flexible fingers. Each of the flexible fingers is identical in structure, and essentially consists of an elastic corrugated pipe single-acting cylinder () and a series-connection flexible hinge (); configuration of the series-connection flexible hinge () is designed according to features of grasping objects; the mechanical gripper generates a grasping force by the elastic corrugated pipe single-acting cylinder (). The mechanical gripper applies to the grasping of fragile, brittle objects or oddly-shaped objects varying with shapes and dimensions, belonging to the technical field of robots and mechatronics application; when coupled to a robot body, the mechanical gripper is especially suitable for the production and logistic fields for grasping, sorting and packing of foods, agriculture products and light industrial products.
