The invention discloses an elastic clamping overturning transporting mechanical arm. The elastic clamping overturning transporting mechanical arm includes an elastic clamping mechanism for clamping aworkpiece, an overturning mechanism for overturning the elastic clamping mechanism, and a mounting table; the elastic clamping mechanism includes a clamping arm sliding rail, a first clamping arm anda second clamping arm, the clamping arm sliding rail is slidably provided with a first sliding table and a second sliding table, the first sliding table and the second sliding table are driven to moveclose to or away from each other by a clamping drive device, one ends of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are correspondingly connected with the first sliding table and the second sliding table in a swinging mode, the first sliding table and the second sliding table are further fixedly connected with a first limiting block and a second limiting block correspondingly, and a firstspring and a second spring are correspondingly arranged between the first and the second limiting blocks and the first and the second clamping arms; the overturning mechanism is fixedly connected tothe mounting table, and the rotary end of the overturning mechanism is fixedly connected with the clamping arm sliding rail; and the mounting table is driven by a lifting drive device, and thus a lifting linkage elastic clamping mechanism moves up and down. The elastic clamping overturning transporting mechanical arm is suitable for thin-wall workpieces, workpiece deformation can be avoided in clamping, and the workpiece can be taken, placed and overturned.
