Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a woodworking clamp, which belongs to the category of hardware tools, and aims to provide a clamp for woodworking operators that has both the traditional function of clamping wood pieces and the function of automatic locking of the base. Background Art

[0002] A woodworking clamp is a tool installed on a woodworking workbench to clamp wood pieces and perform various operations on them. The features of the existing woodworking clamp with an automatic locking function on the base are as follows: 1. The cross-section of the guide rod is rectangular and made of gray cast iron; 2. The locking principle of the base is that when the jaws of the woodworking clamp clamp the wood piece, the jaws of the movable jaw body are subjected to force, causing the jaw plane of the jaw body and the guide rod to tilt downward at the same time. As the guide rod tilts downward, the locking arm under the guide rod is pressed to rotate, thereby locking the base. Its defects are: 1. Since the cross-section of the guide rod is a rectangular structure, all four sides need to be processed, and the processing technology is poor; 2. The guide rod is made of gray cast iron. As a force-bearing part, cast iron is a brittle material, so the product structure size is large and it is easy to break when subjected to strong force; 3. The base can only be locked when the jaw plane is tilted. When clamping wood pieces, there will be indentations on the surface of the wood pieces because the fixed jaws and the movable jaws are not working in a parallel state; 4. When locking the base, the clamping part of the locking arm and the cylindrical part of the base is in point contact, so the clamping is not very reliable. Summary of the invention

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, the following improvements can be made:

[0031] Among them, the nut top arm 11-3 has a threaded inner cavity (see Figure 6 ), the fastening screw 4 is installed in the threaded inner cavity of the nut top arm 11-3, and the end of the fastening screw 4 is in contact with the nut 6;

[0032] The fixed clamp body 3 includes an upper fixed clamp body 3-6 (see Figure 4 , 5 ), a fixed jaw 3-1 is arranged on the upper edge of the front end of the upper fixed jaw body 3-6, and the fixed jaw 3-1 is plate-shaped. At least two fixed jaw body light holes 3-2 are arranged on the upper fixed jaw body 3-6, and the fixed jaw body light holes penetrate the upper fixed jaw body. A screw rod 7 is inserted into one of the fixed jaw body light holes 3-2, and a guide rod 5 is inserted into the other fixed jaw body light holes. The channel of the fixed jaw body light hole 3-2 where the screw rod 7 is inserted intersects vertically with the nut mounting hole 3-5; the lower portion of the upper fixed jaw body 3-6 A sleeve 3-3 for fitting the column of the base 9 is provided, and a pressure plate groove 3-4 is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 3-3; column through holes 3-7 are provided on both sides of the pressure plate groove 3-4 of the sleeve 3-3, and the centers of the two column through holes are on the same axis; the upper fixed clamp body 3-6 of the fixed clamp body 3 is a box-type structure; when the upper fixed clamp body of the box-type structure is adopted, a long hole is provided in the middle of the side wall of the upper fixed clamp body 3-6 for mounting the fixed jaw 3-1, for inserting the screw rod 7 and the screw nut top arm 11-3;

[0033] Threaded holes are arranged on both sides of the side wall of the upper fixed clamp body 3-6 for mounting the fixed jaw 3-1, and a screw 8 with a cylindrical end at the front end is installed in the threaded hole of the upper fixed clamp body 3-6. Hinge holes are arranged on both sides of the locking arm 11, and the cylindrical end of the screw 8 is inserted into the hinged hole of the locking arm 11; the hinged hole of the locking arm 11 is arranged on the fork arm 11-1;

[0034] A pressure plate mounting hole is provided at the end of the fork handle 11 - 2, and the mounting handle 10 - 1 of the ball head pressure plate 10 is inserted into the pressure plate mounting hole, and a wire retaining ring is installed at the end.

[0035] In addition: the guide rod 5 is assembled with the movable pliers body 2 and is interference fit, there are two guide rods 5, and a screw rod 7 is set for the two guide rods 5; the threaded rod of the screw rod 7 passes through the screw rod hole 2-3, the screw rod 7 is restricted by the retaining ring and the elastic cylindrical pin, and will not be separated from the movable pliers body, and the threaded rod of the screw rod 7 is screwed into the threaded hole of the nut 6;
