Description

(GRTPPER HAVING WOLBBLE MOTOR)

The present invention relates to a gripper, and more particularly to a gripper device having a wobble motor in which an output torque is improved and no additional deceleration means are required.

Generally, a wobble motor has a simple structure and an eccentric structure between a stator and a rotor, so that the rotor can rotate at a low angle with a large torque with a large torque. These wobble motors are widely used in the field of small motors to which MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) technology is applied.

On the other hand, the wobble motor is composed of a stator having a plurality of segments wound with coils so that a current is applied to the inner circumferential surface of the stator, the stator being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, and the rotor being in contact with the stator. When a voltage is sequentially applied to a plurality of segments, the wobble motor having such a structure performs eccentric orbital motion while the rotor rotates along the inner diameter of each segment, thereby rotating at a low speed at a constant attenuation gear ratio.

However, since a conventional wobble motor is not fixed, there is a problem of breakage during operation. In addition, when a wobble motor is applied to the gripper, an additional power supply or additional decelerating means is required for the gripper to grasp the object continuously, which causes a reduction in efficiency.
