Design and Analysis of a Robot Clamping Mechanism for Power Tower

In the paper,design and analysis of a robot clamping mechanism,which is mainly composed of a gripping hand, an abduction mechanism and an ejection mechanism, for power tower is presented. According to the climbing environment of the power tower climbing robot, the three-dimensional model of the mechanism is drawn, the rationality of the centering and the size of the mechanism is verified. The feasibility of the clamping mechanism was preliminarily verified by the prototype development and test.
