[0033] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides a parallel jaw, comprising: a first clamp 2 and a second clamp 3, having an opening and closing direction, the opening and closing direction including an opening direction and a closing direction; a cylinder block 1, having a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 104; a first piston structure 4, connected to the first clamp 2 and separating the first chamber 101 into a first transmission chamber 103 and a first driving chamber 102, the first piston structure 4 being able to slide along the opening and closing direction under the drive of a driving medium in the first driving chamber 102; a second piston structure 5, connected to the second clamp 3 and separating the second chamber 104 into a second transmission chamber 106 and a second driving chamber 105, the second piston structure 5 being able to slide along the opening and closing direction under the drive of a driving medium in the second driving chamber 105; wherein, the first transmission chamber 103 and the second transmission chamber 106 are connected and filled with a transmission medium.

[0035] Among them, as Figure 1 shown, the closing direction of the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 is the direction of approaching each other, and the opening direction of the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 is the direction of moving away from each other, that is, the closing direction of the first clamp 2 is direction B, the opening direction of the first clamp 2 is direction A, while the closing direction of the second clamp 3 is direction A, and the opening direction of the second clamp 3 is direction B.

[0036] The parallel jaws of the present invention inject a driving medium into the first driving chamber 102, so that the first piston structure 4 drives the first clamp 2 to move along its opening direction A under the driving of the driving medium. At the same time, the transmission medium in the first transmission chamber 103 will flow into the second transmission chamber 106, so that the second piston structure 5 drives the second clamp 3 to move along its opening direction B under the transmission of the transmission medium in the second transmission chamber 106; by injecting the driving medium into the second driving chamber 105, the second piston structure 5 drives the second clamp 3 to move along its closing direction A under the driving of the driving medium. At the same time, the transmission medium in the second transmission chamber 106 will flow into the first transmission chamber 103, thereby driving the first clamp 2 to move along its opening direction B; it can be seen that the present invention uses the transmission medium for transmission to realize the synchronous opening and closing of the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3, avoiding the technical problem of jitter during operation caused by the non-conformance of the fitting clearance between the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 and the transmission structure. Therefore, the requirement for processing accuracy is reduced, and the structure is simple with fewer components, thus reducing the processing cost and facilitating the miniaturization of the volume of the parallel jaws.

[0037] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 104 are arranged in parallel along the opening and closing direction, and the lengths and cross-sectional areas of the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 104 in the opening and closing direction are equal, that is, the volumes are equal, so that the moving strokes of the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 are equal. Since the closing directions of the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 are opposite, and the opening directions of the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 are opposite, that is, the moving directions of the first piston structure 4 and the second piston structure 5 must also be opposite. Therefore, the first transmission chamber 103 and the second transmission chamber 106 must be located on the same side of the first piston structure 4 and the second piston structure 5, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown on the left side, while the first driving chamber 102 and the second driving chamber 105 are located on the other side of the first piston structure 4 and the second piston structure 5, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown on the right side, that is, the first transmission chamber 103 and the second transmission chamber 106 are arranged at one end of the cylinder block 1, while the first driving chamber 102 and the second driving chamber 105 are arranged at the other end of the cylinder block 1.

[0038] When the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 are in a fully open state, the volumes of the first transmission cavity 103 and the second drive cavity 105 are both minimized and close to zero, while the volumes of the second transmission cavity 106 and the first drive cavity 102 are maximized and the length in the opening and closing direction is equal to the stroke required for the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 to switch from the open state to the closed state; when the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 are in a closed state, the volumes of the second transmission cavity 106 and the first drive cavity 102 are both minimized and close to zero, and the volumes of the first transmission cavity 103 and the second drive cavity 105 are both maximized and the length in the opening and closing direction is equal to the stroke required for the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 to switch from the closed state to the open state. The control is simple and stable, and it is beneficial to reduce the length of the cylinder block 1 in the opening and closing direction.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the cylinder block 1 is provided with a first injection port 111 and a second injection port (not shown in the figure). The first injection port 111 is communicated with the first drive cavity 102, and the second injection port is communicated with the second drive cavity 105. The drive medium is injected into the first drive cavity 102 from the first injection port 111 to open the parallel jaws, and the drive medium is injected into the second drive cavity 105 from the second injection port to close the parallel jaws. Specifically, the first injection port 111 and the second injection port are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinder block 1.

[0040] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the cylinder block 1 is further provided with a third injection port 114 and a fourth injection port 115. A preset amount of transmission medium is injected into the first transmission cavity 103 and / or the second transmission cavity 106 from the third injection port 114 and / or the fourth injection port 115, and then the third injection port 114 and the fourth injection port 115 are blocked by a plug or other blocking members.

[0041] The drive medium and the transmission medium can be selected as suitable fluid media or liquid media according to the clamping requirements of the parallel jaws, and they can be the same or different. In the embodiment of the present invention, the drive medium is a gas, such as air, and the reaction speed is fast. The transmission medium is a liquid, such as hydraulic oil, which is not prone to leakage and has high transmission stability.

[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in the embodiments of the present invention, the first piston structure 4 includes a first piston 401 and a first piston rod 402. The first piston 401 is in sealed sliding fit with the first chamber 101 and divides the first chamber 101 into a first transmission chamber 103 and a first drive chamber 102. One end of the first piston rod 402 extends into the first chamber 101 and is connected to the first piston 401, and the other end of the first piston rod 402 is connected to the first clamp 2. The second piston structure 5 includes a second piston 501 and a second piston rod 502. The second piston 501 is in sealed sliding fit with the second chamber 104 and divides the second chamber 104 into a second transmission chamber 106 and a second drive chamber 105. One end of the second piston rod 502 extends into the second chamber 104 and is connected to the second piston 501, and the other end of the second piston rod 502 is connected to the second clamp 3.

[0043] Specifically, the first piston rod 402 is connected to the first clamp 2 through a first connection structure 601, and the second piston rod 502 is connected to the second clamp 3 through a second connection structure 602. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the cylinder block 1 has a first channel 119, and the first end cover 112 and the second end cover 113 are installed at the openings at both ends of the first channel 119, thereby forming the first chamber 101. The first piston rod 402 passes through the first end cover 112 and is connected to the first piston 401 in the first chamber 101. The cylinder block 1 has a second channel 120, and the third end cover 117 and the fourth end cover 118 are installed at the openings at both ends of the second channel 120, thereby forming the second chamber 104. The second piston rod 502 passes through the third end cover 117 and is connected to the second piston 501 in the second chamber 104. Both the first piston 401 and the second piston 501 are pistons with magnetic rings, which can feedback the number of times the parallel jaws open and close.

[0044] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiments of the present invention, the first piston rod 402 extends into the first transmission chamber 103 and is connected to the first piston 401, and the second piston rod 502 extends into the second transmission chamber 106 and is connected to the second piston 501. Specifically, the gap space between the first end cover 112 and the first piston 401 forms the first transmission chamber 103, and the gap space between the first piston 401 and the second end cover 113 forms the first drive chamber 102. The gap space between the third end cover 117 and the second piston 501 forms the second transmission chamber 106, and the gap space between the second piston 501 and the fourth end cover 118 forms the second drive chamber 105.

[0045] Optionally, the first piston rod extends into the first driving chamber and is connected to the first piston, and the second piston rod extends into the second driving chamber and is connected to the second piston. Specifically, the clearance space between the first end cap and the first piston forms the first driving chamber, and the clearance space between the first piston and the second end cap forms the first transmission chamber. The clearance space between the third end cap and the second piston forms the second driving chamber, and the clearance space between the second piston and the fourth end cap forms the second transmission chamber.

[0046] The first transmission chamber 103 and the second transmission chamber 106 are connected and communicated through a connection channel 116. The connection channel 116 is arranged near one end of the first transmission chamber 103 and the second transmission chamber 106 that is far away from the first driving chamber 102 and the second driving chamber 105. This is to prevent the first piston structure 4 from sliding past the connection channel 116 and causing the connection channel 116 to be connected to the first driving chamber 102, and to prevent the second piston structure 5 from sliding past the connection channel 116 and causing the connection channel 116 to be connected to the second driving chamber 105. Specifically, the connection channel 116 is arranged perpendicular to the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 104, ensuring the shortest distance of the connection channel 116, so that the transmission medium can flow quickly between the first transmission chamber 103 and the second transmission chamber 106.

[0047] To improve the accuracy and stability of the movement of the first clamping member and the second clamping member in the closing direction, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiments of the present invention, the cylinder block 1 is provided with a first track 107 and a second track 108 along the opening and closing direction. The first connection structure 601 is slidably matched with the first track 107, and the second connection structure 602 is slidably matched with the second track 108. The cylinder block 1 is provided with a third track 109 and a fourth track 110 along the opening and closing direction. The third track 109 is connected and communicated with the first track 107, and the fourth track 110 is connected and communicated with the second track 108. The first clamp 2 is slidably matched with the third track 109, and the second clamp 3 is slidably matched with the fourth track 110.

[0048] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the length of the third track 109 is greater than the length of the first track 107, and the length of the fourth track 110 is greater than the length of the second track 108. Preferably, the length of the first track 107 is half of the length of the third track 109, and the length of the second track 108 is half of the length of the fourth track 110.

[0049] As Figure 1As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first clamp 2 has a first sliding portion 201. The first sliding portion 201 is slidably engaged with the third track 109 and connected to the first connection structure 601. At least one first mounting hole 202 is provided at an end of the first sliding portion 201 away from the first connection structure 601; the second clamp 3 has a second sliding portion 301. The second sliding portion 301 is slidably engaged with the fourth track 110 and connected to the second connection structure 602. At least one second mounting hole 302 is provided at an end of the second sliding portion 301 close to the second connection structure 602. Specifically, a plurality of first mounting holes 202 are arranged on the first sliding portion 201 along the opening and closing direction for mounting the required gripping jaws. Similarly, a plurality of second mounting holes 302 are arranged on the second sliding portion 301 along the opening and closing direction for mounting the required gripping jaws. The structures of the first clamp 2 and the second clamp 3 are the same and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the cylinder block 1 in the opening and closing direction.

[0050] As Figure 2 shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, between the first sliding portion 201 and the first connection structure 601, and between the second sliding portion 301 and the second connection structure 602, they are both connected by a first fastener 603 arranged along the opening and closing direction. Specifically, the first fastener 603 is a pin or a bolt. Between the first connection structure 601 and the first piston rod 402, and between the second connection structure 602 and the second piston rod 502, they are also connected by fasteners arranged along the opening and closing direction. At least one second connection hole for mounting the first fastener 603 is provided at an end of the second sliding portion 301 close to the second mounting hole 302. Combining Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, at least one first connection hole 203 for mounting the first fastener 603 is provided at an end of the first sliding portion 201 away from the first mounting hole 202.

[0051] When the distance between the second connection structure 602 and the second mounting hole 302 is relatively close and there is not enough space to mount the first fastener 603, if enough space is reserved to set the first fastener 603, it is not conducive to reducing the length of the parallel jaws in the opening and closing direction. Therefore, as Figure 6 shown, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the second sliding portion 301 and the second connection structure 602 are in interference fit through a matching convex portion 604 and concave portion 605. Specifically, the convex portion 604 is provided on the second connection structure 602, and the concave portion 605 is provided on the second sliding portion 301. Optionally, the concave portion is provided on the second connection structure, and the convex portion is provided on the second sliding portion.

[0052] To improve the connection stability between the convex portion 604 and the concave portion 605, as Figure 7As shown in the figure, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the second sliding part 301 and the second connection structure 602 are connected by a second fastener 606 arranged in the vertical direction along the opening and closing direction. Specifically, the second fastener 606 is a pin or a bolt, and the second fastener 606 passes through the convex part 604.

[0053] As Figure 8 shown in the figure, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the second sliding part 301 is connected to the second connection structure 602 below by a second fastener 606 arranged in the vertical direction along the opening and closing direction. Specifically, the second connection structure 602 is sleeved on the second piston rod 502.

[0054] For other connection manners between the first sliding part 201, the first connection structure 601, and the first piston structure 4, reference can be made to the connection manners between the second sliding part 301, the second connection structure 602, and the second piston structure 5 in the above-mentioned second embodiment, third embodiment, and fourth embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] The above are only several embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention according to the content disclosed in the application documents.
