Abstract

A manipulator arm includes at least one arm body for carrying a to-be-carried object. The arm body is provided with a suction plate for sucking the to-be-carried object, and the suction plate is provided with a plurality of vacuum suction holes. The plurality of vacuum suction holes are uniformly distributed in the entire suction plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A manipulator arm, comprising at least one arm body for carrying a to-be-carried object, wherein the arm body is provided with a suction plate for sucking the to-be-carried object, and the suction plate is provided with a plurality of vacuum suction holes;
wherein the plurality of vacuum suction holes are uniformly distributed in the entire suction plate;
the arm body further comprises a vacuum cavity connected to the plurality of vacuum suction holes; and
the arm body further comprises a plurality of channels each in communication the vacuum cavity; the plurality of channels are communicated with the plurality of vacuum suction holes in a one-to-one manner.

2. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein,
the suction plate is an anti-static plate made of an anti-static material.

3. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein,
a width of the suction plate on the arm body is identical to a width of the arm body.

4. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein,
a diameter of the vacuum suction hole is in the range of 0.1 mm˜0.5 mm.

5. The manipulator arm according to claim 4 , wherein a distance between two adjacent vacuum suction holes is in the range of 5 mm˜10 mm.

6. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein,
a distance between two adjacent vacuum suction holes is in the range of 5 mm˜10 mm.

7. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein,
the plurality of vacuum suction holes is uniformly distributed in a matrix on the suction plate.

8. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein,
the arm body is a carbon fiber arm body made of a carbon fiber material.

9. A manipulator, comprising the manipulator arm according to claim 1 .

10. The manipulator according to claim 9 , wherein the manipulator arm is arranged on a body.

11. A carrying device, comprising the manipulator according to claim 9 .

12. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein the suction plate is stacked on the arm body.

13. The manipulator arm according to claim 1 , wherein the arm body includes a first surface, and each of the plurality of channels extends from the first surface of the arm body inwardly to communicate with the vacuum cavity;
the suction plate includes a first surface and an opposite second surface; each of the plurality of vacuum suction holes extends from first surface of the suction plate to the second surface of the suction plate;
the first surface of the arm body is in contact with the first surface of the suction plate.

14. The manipulator arm according to claim 13 , wherein all of the plurality of vacuum suction holes are communicated with each other only through the vacuum cavity and the plurality of channels in the arm body.

15. The manipulator arm according to claim 13 , wherein each of the plurality of vacuum suction holes is communicated with the vacuum cavity through only one channel that corresponding to the each of the plurality of vacuum suction holes.
