DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. The present embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present application, and gives a detailed implementation manner and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0029] Embodiment one
[0030] As shown in Figure 1 , the present embodiment provides a lock pin structure, which comprises a pin shaft 1, an elastic pin 2, a gantry mounting frame 3 and a locking block 4, and can effectively connect the gantry and the clamp. The tail end of the pin shaft 1 is provided with a through hole 11 for passing through the elastic pin 2. The elastic pin 2 is a U-shaped mechanism, specifically comprising a first rod 21, a bending section 23 and a second rod 22 connected in sequence, the length of the first rod 21 is greater than the length of the second rod 22, and the first rod 21 passes through the through hole 11 and can freely slide in the through hole 11. A limiting piece 6 is arranged at the bottom of the first rod 21, so that the first rod 21 cannot be pulled out of the through hole 11, that is, so that the elastic pin 2 is always connected to the pin shaft 1. The limiting piece 6 can adopt a conventional nut structure, and the specific structure is not limited, and in the present embodiment, a bending structure is preferably adopted, that is, the lower end of the first rod 21 is bent forward to form a bending part. The gantry mounting frame 3 is provided with a first shaft hole 31 and a locking block 4, the locking block 4 is arranged on the front surface of the gantry mounting frame 3 and located on one side of the first shaft hole 31. The locking block 4 is an L-shaped structure, and the slot between the locking block 4 and the gantry mounting frame 3 forms a limiting groove 5.
[0031] The use process of the embodiment is that the front end of the pin shaft 1 is exposed after passing through the first shaft hole 31 from the front of the portal mounting frame 3, and the exposed part is the connecting end 13 for connecting with the clamp. During the insertion of the pin shaft 1, the bottom of the first rod 21 is located in the through hole 11, at this time, the second rod 22 can just avoid the locking block 4, as shown in Figure 2 When the pin shaft 1 is inserted, the elastic pin 2 is pressed as a whole, at this time, the second rod 22 of the elastic pin 2 is inserted into the limiting groove 5, the pin shaft 1 is locked and fixed, as shown in Figure 3 The connection of the portal and the clamp is realized.
[0032] Embodiment two
[0033] The basic structure of the embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the difference is that, as shown in Figure 4 The locking pin mechanism on the portal is used in pairs. In each locking pin mechanism, the pin shaft 1 passes out from the inside of the first shaft hole 31 to the two sides of the outside, and the exposed end is the connecting end 13, and the two symmetrical connecting ends 13 are used for simultaneously connecting the external device 7, that is, connecting the clamp. A mounting end is specifically provided on the clamp, and the mounting end includes two mounting plates 71, and each mounting plate 71 is provided with a mounting hole 72. When the clamp and the portal are docked, the two mounting plates 71 are inserted along the two sides of the two portal mounting frames 3, so that each mounting hole 72 corresponds to a first shaft hole 31, and then the pin shaft 1 is inserted from the inside to complete the connection.
[0034] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment, the annular groove 12 is arranged at the tail end of the pin shaft 1, and the through hole 11 is arranged in the annular groove 12. The depth of the annular groove 12 is generally 1 / 3-2 / 3 of the diameter of the second rod 22, and preferably 1 / 2. The locking block 4 is arranged close to the first shaft hole 31, and the depth of the limiting groove 5 is arranged to be 1 / 3-2 / 3 of the diameter of the second rod 22, and preferably 1 / 2. Therefore, the limiting groove 5 and the annular groove 12 can form a complete groove structure for passing through the second rod 22. When the pin shaft 1 passes through the first shaft hole 31 and the mounting hole 72, the second rod 22 of the elastic pin 2 passes through the groove structure, so as to lock the axial movement and rotation of the pin shaft 1, completely lock the pin shaft 1, and make the structure after locking more stable.
[0035] The preferred embodiments of the application are described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and changes without creative labor based on the concept of the application. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiment based on the prior art according to the concept of the application shall be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
