[0021] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The following will describe the present application in detail with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0022] It should be pointed out that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further illustration of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present application belongs.

[0024] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the clamping mechanism of this embodiment includes: a frame assembly 10 and a clamping assembly 20. The clamping assembly 20 includes a clamping driving part 21, a transmission part 22, a first clamping part 23 and a second clamping part 24. The first clamping part 23 is arranged on the frame assembly 10. The clamping driving part 21 is connected to the second clamping part 24 through the transmission part 22. The second clamping part 24 and the transmission part 22 have mutually cooperating pressing inclined surfaces.

[0025] When the first clamping part 23 and the second clamping part 24 cooperate to clamp the object to be clamped by applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the clamping driving part 21 drives the transmission part 22 to press against the second clamping part 24 to approach the first clamping part 23, so as to realize the clamping of the object to be clamped. The second clamping part 24 and the transmission part 22 have mutually cooperating pressing inclined surfaces, so that the transmission part 22 can apply a continuously adjustable pressing force to the second clamping part 24, thereby ensuring the stability of clamping. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of unstable clamping of the clamping mechanism in the prior art.

[0026] It should be noted that the direction of relative movement between the second clamping part 24 and the transmission part 22 is the same as the inclination direction of the pressing inclined surface, which means that at least the component movement directions of the relative movement between the second clamping part 24 and the transmission part 22 are the same. In this embodiment, the relative movement direction between the second clamping part 24 and the transmission part 22 is the same as the direction of the pressing inclined surface. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the transmission part 22 moves horizontally, and the second clamping part 24 and the transmission part 22 are pressing inclined surfaces. According to the synthesis and decomposition of forces for analysis, the second clamping part 24 receives a force in the vertical direction, and the clamping force of the second clamping part 24 on the product 100 to be processed is relatively large (the second clamping part 24 is affected by the clamping limiting part 25, which cancels out the horizontal component force of the transmission part 22 on the second clamping part 24).

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the clamping assembly 20 further includes a clamping limiting part 25. The clamping limiting part 25 is fixed on the frame assembly 10. The clamping limiting part 25 and the second clamping part 24 have mutually cooperating first slideway structures, and the second clamping part 24 is slidably arranged on the clamping limiting part 25. The setting of the clamping limiting part 25 enables the second clamping part 24 to move along a predetermined trajectory. It should be noted that a slideway is provided on the clamping limiting part 25, and a sliding groove is provided on the second clamping part 24. The extending direction of the slideway is the moving direction of the second clamping part 24. The first slideway structure is located on both the left and right sides of the second clamping part 24, and the moving direction of the transmission part 22 is the front-back direction.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, one side of the second clamping part 24 facing away from the first clamping part 23 has a first pressing inclined surface, and / or one side of the transmission part 22 facing the second clamping part 24 has a second pressing inclined surface. The above structure is compact. According to the force analysis of the inclined surface, the second clamping part 24 receives a component force towards the first clamping part 23, that is, the first clamping part 23 and the second clamping part 24 clamp and fix the object to be clamped. In the technical solution of this embodiment, one side of the second clamping part 24 facing away from the first clamping part 23 has a first pressing inclined surface, and one side of the transmission part 22 facing the second clamping part 24 has a second pressing inclined surface.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 24 has a rough surface. The setting of the rough surface makes the clamping of the first clamping portion 23 and the second clamping portion 24 on the object to be clamped more stable. It should be noted that the rough surface is a serrated surface, and as other rough surfaces, it can be a concave-convex surface. There is a second slideway structure that cooperates with each other between the second clamping portion 24 and the transmission portion 22

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the clamping driving portion 21 includes a first air cylinder, and the clamping assembly 20 further includes a connecting portion. The connecting portion is connected to the output end of the first air cylinder. One connecting portion is connected to a plurality of transmission portions 22, and the transmission portions 22 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the second clamping portions 24. Connecting one connecting portion to a plurality of transmission portions 22 in this way has higher efficiency. It should be noted that in the technical solution of this embodiment, there are two transmission portions 22, and the two transmission portions 22 are respectively located on both sides of the output end of the first air cylinder, which ensures that the forces on the first air cylinder, the connecting portion, and the second clamping portion 24 are relatively uniform.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the connecting portion and the first air cylinder are connected by a first pin, and the connecting portion and the transmission portion 22 are connected by a second pin. The above structure has a high disassembly and assembly efficiency and is convenient for disassembly and assembly. It should be noted that both the first pin and the second pin are conical, the connecting hole between the connecting portion and the first air cylinder is conical, and the connecting hole between the connecting portion and the transmission portion 22 is also conical, so that the matching error caused by manufacturing tolerances can be compensated by the cooperation of the first pin and the second pin.

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the clamping mechanism further includes a transmission assembly 30. The transmission assembly 30 includes a driving rack structure 31 and a positioning rack structure 32. Both the driving rack structure 31 and the positioning rack structure 32 are arranged on the frame assembly 10, and the clamping assembly 20 is fixed on the driving rack structure 31. The driving rack structure 31 can move the clamping assembly 20 to a relatively close position, and then the first air cylinder is used for pressing and adjusting.

[0033] As Figure 2As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the driving rack structure 31 includes a displacement driving part 311, a driving rack 312, a clamping position driving part 313 and a clamping position part 314. The displacement driving part 311 is fixed on the frame assembly 10. The driving rack 312 is connected to the displacement driving part 311. The clamping position part 314 is connected to the clamping position driving part 313. The clamping position part 314 has a driving state in which it engages with the driving rack 312, and a to-be-driven state in which it disengages from the driving rack 312. The cooperation between the driving rack 312 and the clamping position part 314 makes the movement smoother and more stable. It should be noted that the driving rack structure 31 has a limiting part and an adjusting part. The setting of the limiting part limits the extreme position of the driving first cylinder of the driving rack structure 31, and the extreme position of the limiting part can be adjusted through the adjusting part. It should be noted that the driving rack 312 includes a connecting belt plate and a plurality of teeth arranged on the connecting belt plate. The structure of a single tooth is as follows: in the direction from away from the clamping assembly 20 to close to the clamping assembly 20, the thickness of the tooth gradually increases, and a stepped surface is formed on the side facing the clamping assembly 20. The clamping position driving part 313 drives the clamping position part 314 so that the clamping position part 314 cooperates with the driving rack 312. The adjacent teeth among the plurality of teeth are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence on the connecting belt plate.

[0034] As Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the positioning rack structure 32 includes a positioning rack 321, a fixing block 322 and a fixing block driving part 323. The positioning rack 321 is fixed on the frame assembly 10. The fixing block 322 is connected to the fixing block driving part 323. The fixing block 322 has a fixing state in which it cooperates with the positioning rack 321, and a to-be-fixed state in which it disengages from the positioning rack 321. The above structure ensures that after the first clamping part 23 and the second clamping part 24 clamp the object to be clamped in place, the situation of instability of the object to be clamped will not occur.

[0035] The technical solution of the present application also provides a CNC automatic fixture device. The CNC automatic fixture device includes a clamping mechanism and a material shaking mechanism that cooperates with the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is the above-mentioned clamping mechanism. The material shaking mechanism includes a mating hole, and a part of the object to be clamped penetrates into the mating hole. By shaking the material shaking mechanism, the object to be clamped is broken and separated. The CNC automatic fixture device also includes a material collection box, and the processed materials are collected into the material collection box. Usually, the material collection box is in a closed state. When it is necessary to collect materials, the control structure controls the material collection box to open, and the materials can be collected into the material collection box. CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) is short for Computer Numerical Control machine tool, which is an automated machine tool controlled by a program. The control system can logically process a program with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode it through a computer, so that the machine tool executes the specified actions, and processes the blank material into semi-finished or finished parts through tool cutting.

In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they specify the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
