Abstract

The present disclosure provides a goods taking mechanism and a carrying device. The goods taking mechanism includes a fixed member, a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, and a driving assembly, where the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are oppositely mounted on the fixed member and are connected to the driving assembly, and the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are movable relative to the fixed member under the action of the driving assembly, to act on two opposing sides of a to-be-moved object. The goods taking mechanism of the present disclosure can clamp to-be-moved objects of different sizes, which helps reduce the distance between the adjacent to-be-moved objects.

a limiting assembly, wherein the limiting assembly is configured to limit movement of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate;
wherein the limiting assembly comprises a second connection member, a third connection member, and a sliding member fixed on the fixed member; the second connection member is provided with a first sliding groove and is connected to the first clamping plate;
and the third connection member is provided with a second sliding groove and is connected to the second clamping plate, and the sliding member passes through the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove;
wherein the limiting assembly further comprises a fixed frame mounted on the fixed member, the fixed frame is provided with two third sliding grooves that are mounted opposite to each other, a part of the second connection member and a part of the third connection member are mounted in the fixed frame through penetration, and the sliding member passes through the first sliding groove, the second sliding groove, and the third sliding grooves and is fixed in the fixed frame.

2. The goods taking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the first clamping plate comprises a clamping portion and an assembly portion, the clamping portion is mounted on the fixed member through the assembly portion and acts on a side wall of the to-be-moved object, and a structure of the second clamping plate is the same as a structure of the first clamping plate.

3. The goods taking mechanism according to claim 2 , further comprising a first connection member, wherein both the assembly portions of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are hinged to the first connecting member, hinge portions are provided between the assembly portions and the first connecting member, and both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are rotatable around the hinge portions towards the to-be-moved object, to be clamped on the two opposing sides of the to-be-moved object.

4. The goods taking mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein the first clamping plate further comprises an engagement portion, and the engagement portion is mounted on one end of the clamping portion away from the assembly portion and faces a surface of the to-be-moved object, to be engaged with the side wall of the to-be-moved object.

5. The goods taking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the limiting assembly further comprises a limiting shaft, and the sliding member is fixed in the fixed frame through the limiting shaft.

6. The goods taking mechanism according to claim 1 , further comprising a sliding assembly, wherein both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are slidably connected to the fixed member by the sliding assembly.

7.
