The second connection terminal 226 includes a fourth interface 227. The fourth interface 227 is connected to the chuck head 221. Further, the fourth interface 225 is connected with the cavity 222 of the chuck head 221. Wherein the third port 225 is in air communication with the fourth port 227 via a passage 228. The third port 225, the fourth port 227, the channel 228, and the cavity 222 form a vacuum channel for the chuck 220. The vacuum channel of the suction cup 220 is connected to the vacuum generator 300 through the air pipe 240, the second port 161, the channel 150 and the first port 111 to form a sealed cavity. The mounting end 234 is slidably disposed on the suction rod 223 relative to the suction rod 223. The suction cup 220 is connected to the suction cup device 200 by a mounting end 234. As shown in fig. 5a, the mounting end 234 includes threads 235 and two nuts 236. Two nuts 236 are respectively located at both sides of the first bracket 260 or the second bracket 280, and the suction cup 220 is fixed to the first bracket 260 or the second bracket 280 by locking the nuts 236. By adjusting the position of the nut 236 relative to the threads 235, the position of the suction cup head 221 relative to the first bracket 260 or the second bracket 280 in the vertical direction can be adjusted. The range of adjustment depends on the length of the threads 235. The buffer 238 is disposed on the suction rod 223 and is disposed between the suction head 221 and the mounting end 234. The damping device 238 may be a spring, or may be made of other resilient materials, such as rubber, etc. When material is gripped, the cushioning device 238 is compressed under pressure, and the sucker rod 223 slides upward relative to the mounting end 234, maintaining a certain flexibility of the sucker clamp 001 to prevent damage to the workpiece.

When grabbing, negative pressure can be generated in the closed cavity between the vacuum generator 300 and the sucker head 221 by touching the switch of the vacuum generator 300; adsorbing the target object on the chuck head 221 under the action of the pressure difference; by again activating the switch of the vacuum generator 300, the negative pressure disappears and the target object is released.

Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a handle 100 and a flange 500 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, the chuck clamp 001 may further include a flange 500. The flange 500 is configured to be connectable with a robot. The manipulator may be a robot arm of an industrial robot. The flange 500 may be removably coupled to the first end 110 of the handle 100. When manual grasping is required, the flange 500 is removed and the handle 100 is held in the hand. When it is desired to engage a robot for gripping, flange 500 is mounted on handle 100. The flange 500 is provided with an installation interface with a manipulator. The flange 500 is mounted on a robot so that the robot 500 can grasp the flange. The handle 100 may further include a fifth interface 181 between the first interface 111 and the second interface 161. The fifth port 181 communicates with the second port 161. When the manipulator is required to grasp, the vacuum generator 300 on the first interface is detached and installed on the fifth interface 181, and the first interface is sealed by screws or rubber. When manual grasping is required, a vacuum generator is mounted on the first port 111, and the fifth port 181 is sealed by a screw or rubber.
