Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically to an electrical automation clamping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Electrical engineering is a general term encompassing the production, transmission, distribution, and use of electrical energy, as well as the manufacturing of electrical equipment. It is a science that uses electrical energy, electrical equipment, and electrical technology to create, maintain, and improve a defined space and environment. It covers three aspects: the conversion, utilization, and research of electrical energy, including basic theory, applied technology, and facilities and equipment. Electrical engineering is one of the core disciplines in modern science and technology, and an indispensable key discipline in today's high-tech fields. The tremendous progress in electronic technology has driven the arrival of the information age based on computer networks, and will change human life and work patterns. The development prospects of electrical engineering are also very promising, resulting in a consistently high employment rate for current graduates. Electrical automation clamping mechanisms are commonly used devices in electrical engineering; their function is to clamp components to facilitate operator processing.

[0003] When using electrical automation clamping mechanisms on the market to clamp soft cylindrical components, the clamping arms exert a clamping force on the component on the same horizontal plane. This method can lead to clamping instability when clamping cylindrical components. At the same time, the component is subjected to a large clamping force on a single horizontal plane. Uneven force on soft cylindrical components can cause deformation or damage. The finished product cannot fully meet the user's needs, thereby increasing processing costs and reducing productivity. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

A limit plate is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping arm away from the clamping housing. A clamping block is fixedly connected to the other end of the clamping arm. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping arm inside the clamping housing.

[0008] A hanging ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed ring, and a pull cable is fixedly connected to the fixed ring through the hanging ring. A support frame is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping shell away from the baffle. A support arm is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame.

A power shaft is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor through a coupling. An extension arm is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the power shaft on one side of the motor. A connecting ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the extension arm. One end of the pull cable is fixedly connected to the connecting ring.

[0009] Preferably, the contact area between the clamping housing and the guide shaft is provided with a through hole formed on the outer wall of the clamping housing, one end of the clamping arm passes through the through hole and extends into the interior of the clamping housing, and the shape and size of the through hole match the shape and size of the clamping arm.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the clamping block is fixedly connected with a resistance layer, which is a rubber resistance layer. The rubber is relatively soft and can effectively protect the component and prevent wear.

[0016] (3) Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides an electrically automated clamping mechanism with the following advantages: Through the coordinated use of a guide shaft, clamping arm, limiting plate, clamping block, resistance layer, connecting shaft, auxiliary ring, reversing ring, cable, motor, and power shaft, the electrically automated clamping mechanism achieves stable clamping of cylindrical components, solving the problem of instability in general electrically automated clamping mechanisms. In use, the motor drives the power shaft to move left and right. When the power shaft moves to the right, the extension arm pulls the cable, which changes the direction of force through the reversing ring, causing the clamping block to move closer to the center of the clamping housing. The guide shaft limits the position of the clamping arm to maintain the balance of the clamping block, allowing the clamping block to clamp a relatively soft cylindrical component placed in the center. Through the interaction of multiple clamping blocks and the action of a single power source... The clamping force on the lower component is balanced, effectively distributing the clamping force across the component's surface. This prevents deformation or damage caused by unbalanced clamping forces. Furthermore, the resistance layer, made of soft, rough rubber, increases friction with the component. The deformation of the resistance layer when it presses against the component effectively and securely clamps it. The connecting ring can be easily removed via the sliding extension arm, facilitating cable inspection and maintenance. Reinforcing ribs increase the support shaft's fixing force on the motor, preventing separation of the motor from the device during operation. This effectively addresses the technical defects mentioned in the background, ensuring the processed component meets user requirements, thereby reducing costs, improving work efficiency, and increasing productivity.

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 An electrical automation clamping mechanism includes a clamping housing 1. A baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping housing 1. A connecting shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping housing 1 on the back of the baffle 2. An auxiliary ring 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 8. A reversing ring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the auxiliary ring 9. A guide shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping housing 1. The guide shaft 3 limits the position of the clamping arm 4 to maintain the balance of the clamping block 6. The clamping block 6 can then clamp a relatively soft cylindrical component placed in the center. A clamping arm 4 is movably connected to the inner wall of the guide shaft 3. A limit plate 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping arm 4 away from the clamping housing 1, and a clamping block 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the clamping arm 4. Through the interaction of multiple clamping blocks 6 and the balance of the clamping force on the original part under the action of a single power, the clamping force can be effectively distributed on the surface of the original part, preventing the original part from being deformed or damaged due to the imbalance of the clamping force on the original part. A fixing ring 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping arm 4 inside the clamping housing 1.

[0027] A hanging ring 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed ring 19. A pull cable 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 19 through the hanging ring 20. A support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping shell 1 away from the baffle 2. A support arm 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 15. A load-bearing frame 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the support arm 22. A base 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the load-bearing frame 23 away from the support frame 15. A placement block 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the base 24 away from the load-bearing frame 23. An anti-slip pad 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the placement block 25 away from the base 24. A support shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 15. A motor 13 is fixedly installed at the end of the support shaft 12 away from the support frame 15. A power shaft 14 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 13 through a coupling. An extension arm 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the power shaft 14 on one side of the motor 13. A connecting ring 17 is sleeved on the outer wall of the extension arm 18. One end of the pull cable 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 17.

[0028] The contact area between the clamping housing 1 and the guide shaft 3 is provided with a through hole 16 on the outer wall of the clamping housing 1. One end of the clamping arm 4 passes through the through hole 16 and extends into the interior of the clamping housing 1. The shape and size of the through hole 16 match the shape and size of the clamping arm 4.

[0029] The inner wall of the clamping block 6 is fixedly connected to a resistance layer 7, which is a rubber resistance layer. With the assistance of the resistance layer 7, the rubber material of the resistance layer 7 is relatively soft and the surface is relatively rough, which can increase the friction between the resistance layer 7 and the original. When the resistance layer 7 squeezes the original, the deformation of the resistance layer 7 can effectively clamp the original.

[0030] The outer wall of the support shaft 12 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib 21, and the bottom of the reinforcing rib 21 is fixedly connected to the motor 13. The reinforcing rib 21 is used to increase the stability between the motor 13 and the support shaft 12. In the engineering process, the support shaft 12 can more firmly fix the motor 13, preventing damage caused by insufficient support force of the motor 13 during operation.

[0031] Motor 13 is a linear motor, and the model of motor 13 is 35BYGH20-0404B. Motor 13 can drive the power shaft 14 to move left and right. When the power shaft 14 moves to the right, the extension arm 18 pulls the cable 11. The cable 11 changes the direction of force through the reversing ring 10, so that the clamping block 6 moves closer to the center of the clamping shell 1.

[0032] There are six connecting shafts 8, and all six connecting shafts 8 are L-shaped connecting shafts.

[0033] The end of the extension arm 18 away from the power shaft 14 is designed with an arc surface, and the diameter of the extension arm 18 is smaller than the inner diameter of the connecting ring 17. The difference between the diameter of the extension arm 18 and the inner diameter of the connecting ring 17 is two millimeters. The connecting ring 17 can be directly removed by sliding out of the extension arm 18, which is convenient for users to inspect and maintain the cable 11. The reinforcing rib 21 increases the force of the support shaft 12 to fix the motor 13, preventing the motor 13 from separating from the device during operation.

[0034] The outer wall of the clamping housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove, and the depth of the mounting groove is half the length of the guide shaft 3.

[0035] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0036] In use, the cylindrical component is inserted into the clamping housing 1. The motor 13 drives the power shaft 14 to move away from the clamping housing 1. The extension arm 18 pulls the cable 11. The cable 11 changes the direction of force through the reversing ring 10, causing the cable 11 to move the clamping block 6 closer to the component. The clamping arm 4 moves on the inner wall of the guide shaft 3. The guide shaft 3 stabilizes the direction of movement of the clamping arm 4 and balances the force exerted on the clamping block 6 by the cable 11 towards the motor 13. When the resistance layer 7 contacts the component and deforms, the component is clamped, completing the clamping work. The user can then proceed to the next processing step.

[0037] In summary, this electrically automated clamping mechanism achieves the goal of stabilizing the clamping of cylindrical components, solves the problem of instability in clamping cylindrical components by general electrically automated clamping mechanisms, improves user work efficiency, reduces user costs, and ensures that the processed components meet the user's needs.
