Gripper - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17831111 titled 'Gripper

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a gripper that consists of a finger module and a palm module. The palm module includes a power unit, a screw member, a nut member, a first member, and a connection member. The connection member is movable within a groove in the first member, which is vertically movable along with the nut member.

  • The gripper includes a finger module and a palm module.
  • The palm module has a power unit, a screw member, a nut member, a first member, and a connection member.
  • The power unit rotates a shaft, which in turn rotates the screw member.
  • The nut member is coupled to the screw member and moves vertically.
  • The first member is connected to the nut member and also moves vertically.
  • The first member has a groove with a recessed shape.
  • The connection member is inserted into the groove and can move towards or away from the screw member.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Robotic grippers for industrial automation.
  • Prosthetic hands or robotic hands for assisting individuals with limited hand function.
  • Assembly line robots for picking and placing objects.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a mechanism for gripping and releasing objects with precision.
  • Allows for vertical movement of the gripper to adjust to different object sizes.
  • Offers a simplified design for efficient operation.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved gripping capabilities for various objects.
  • Enhanced flexibility and adaptability in handling different object sizes.
  • Simplified design for easier maintenance and operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A gripper includes a finger module coupled to one side of a palm module, the palm module including a first power unit including a first rotary shaft and configured to rotate the first rotary shaft, a screw member configured to rotate in conjunction with a rotation of the first rotary shaft, a nut member coupled to the screw member, a first member coupled to the nut member and movable in a vertical direction in conjunction with a vertical motion of the nut member, the first member having a groove extending in one direction and having a recessed shape, and a connection member having a first side coupled to the finger module and a second side inserted into the groove, wherein the connection member is movable away from or toward the screw member by restriction between the connection member and an inner surface of the groove.
