[0060] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 The clamping device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 11 As shown, the clamping device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a clamping assembly 10, a guiding mechanism 20, and a driving mechanism 30.

[0062] The clamping assembly 10 includes a first clamping member 110 and a second clamping member 120 disposed opposite to each other along a second direction. The first clamping member 110 has a first front end 110a disposed near the workpiece, and the second clamping member 120 has a second front end 120a disposed near the workpiece. When the clamping assembly 10 is used for clamping, firstly, the first front end 110a of the first clamping member 110 and the second front end 120a of the second clamping member 120 are aligned. Then, the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 move along the second direction and move closer to each other to clamp the workpiece.

[0063] The guiding mechanism 20 includes a first guiding component 220 and a second guiding component 210. The first and second guiding components 220 are linked to the first clamping member 110. The first guiding component 220 guides the first clamping member 110 to move along a first direction, and the second guiding component 210 guides the first clamping member 110 to move along a second direction. During the alignment of the first front end 110a and the second front end 120a, the first guiding component 220 provides guidance for the first clamping member 110 to move along the first direction, and the second guiding component 210 provides guidance for the first clamping member 110 to move along the second direction, thereby improving the reliability of the movement of the first clamping member 110.

[0064] The driving mechanism 30 comprises a driving member 310 and a transmission member 320 connected with the output end of the driving member 310, the transmission member 320 has a first stroke and a second stroke, the transmission member 320 drives the first clamping member 110 to move in the first direction when moving in the first stroke, so that the first front end 110a of the first clamping member 110 and the second front end 120a of the second clamping member 120 are flush or staggered, the transmission member 320 drives the first clamping member 110 to move in the second direction when moving in the second stroke, so that the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 are close to each other for clamping the workpiece or away from each other for releasing the workpiece. That is, the driving member 310 can provide corresponding driving force, and the movement of the output end of the driving member 310 is converted into driving the first clamping member 110 to move in the first direction and driving the first clamping member 110 to move in the second direction through the transmission member 320.

[0065] It can be understood that the first direction is the front-back direction, and the second direction is the up-down direction, and the workpiece described in the foregoing can be a PCB board. As shown in Figure 2 , the first front end 110a of the first clamping member 110 and the second front end 120a of the second clamping member 120 are staggered with each other at the initial position, the second clamping member 120 is provided with a shoulder 120b, and the workpiece is placed on the second clamping member 120 and abuts against the shoulder 120b.

[0066] As shown in Figure 3 , in the process of clamping the workpiece, the workpiece is installed downward on the second clamping member 120, the transmission member 320 drives the first clamping member 110 to move forward when moving in the first stroke, so that the first front end 110a of the first clamping member 110 and the second front end 120a of the second clamping member 120 are aligned. As shown in Figure 4 , the transmission member 320 drives the first clamping member 110 to move downward when moving in the second stroke, and the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 are close to each other, and finally the workpiece is clamped.

[0067] According to the clamping device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly 10 is arranged to comprise the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 arranged opposite in the second direction, the guide mechanism 20 is arranged to comprise the first guide assembly 220 and the second guide assembly 210, and the driving mechanism 30 is arranged to comprise the driving member 310 and the transmission member 320 connected with the output end of the driving member 310, the transmission member 320 has a first stroke and a second stroke, the transmission member 320 drives the first clamping member 110 to move in the first direction when moving in the first stroke, and the transmission member 320 drives the first clamping member 110 to move in the second direction when moving in the second stroke, so that the first clamping member 110 moves in two directions to cooperate with the second clamping member 120 to complete the clamping of the workpiece. The clamping device 100 does not need to adjust the position of the workpiece during clamping, the operation steps are simple, manual participation is not required, and it is beneficial to automatic plate loading action.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 5 The second guide assembly 210 includes a first guide plate 2101 and a second guide plate 2102 arranged opposite to each other along the second direction, and the first guide plate 2101 is arranged between the transmission member 320 and the second guide plate 2102, so that the positions of the three are compactly arranged, the space can be saved, and the volume of the clamping device 100 can be reduced.

[0069] The first guide plate 2101 can guide the transmission member 320 to move along the driving direction of the driving member 310. For example, the driving direction of the driving member 310 is the left-right direction, and the first guide plate 2101 can provide a guiding effect for the movement of the transmission member 320, thereby improving the reliability of the movement of the transmission member 320.

[0070] The second guide plate 2102 can guide the transmission member 320 to move along the second direction, so that the transmission member 320 drives the first clamping member 110 to approach the second clamping member 120. The transmission member 320 acts on the first clamping member 110 to drive the first clamping member 110 to move along the second direction. The second guide plate 2102 guides the transmission member 320, thereby guiding the first clamping member 110.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 The transmission member 320 is provided with a first guide groove 32011, and the first clamping member 110 is provided with a first guide member 1101. The first guide member 1101 is slidably arranged in the first guide groove 32011. The first guide groove 32011 includes a first portion 301 and a second portion 302 connected and communicated with each other. The second portion 302 extends along the driving direction. An included angle is formed between the second portion 302 and the first portion 301, that is, an included angle is formed between the first portion 301 and the driving direction. When the plate body 3201 moves along the driving direction, the first portion 301 can drive the first guide member 1101 to move in the first direction.

[0072] The first guide member 1101 moves along the first portion 301 to form a first stroke, and the first guide member 1101 moves along the second portion 302 to form a second stroke. When the first guide member 1101 moves in the first portion 301, the first clamping member 110 moves along the first direction, so that the first front end 110a of the first clamping member 110 and the second front end 120a of the second clamping member 120 are staggered or parallel. When the first guide member 1101 moves in the second portion 302, the first clamping member 110 moves along the second direction, so that the first front end 110a of the first clamping member 110 and the second front end 120a of the second clamping member 120 approach or move away from each other.

[0073] Specifically in operation, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 10 illustrated, starting from one end of the first part 301 and ending at one end of the second part 302, initially, the first guide 1101 is at the starting position, and the first clamping member 110 is offset relative to the second clamping member 120 (one side of the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 is provided with a clamping part, at this time, the two clamping parts are not aligned vertically), at this time, it can be used to place the workpiece from top to bottom between the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120, and the first clamping member 110 will not interfere with the placement process.

[0074] As described above, the first direction is the front-back direction, and the driving direction is the left-right direction, as shown in Figure 11 、 Figure 10 illustrated, the right end of the first clamping member 110 is provided with a driving mechanism 30. After the workpiece is placed on the second clamping member 120, the driving member 310 pulls the transmission member 320 to the right, the first part 301 forces the first guide 1101 to slide along it, driving the first clamping member 110 to slide relative to the second clamping member 120 until the first front end 110a and the second front end 120a are relatively parallel (at this time, the first front end 110a and the second front end 120a are aligned vertically), after the movement in the first part 301 ends, continue to pull the transmission member 320 to make the second part 302 force the first guide 1101 to slide along it, at this time, the protruding part 3202 of the transmission member 320 begins to contact the stop part 21021, the stop part 21021 forces the transmission member 320 to move in the second direction (up-down direction), the transmission member 320 pushes the first clamping member 110 to move close to the second clamping member 120 to clamp the workpiece.

[0075] When it is necessary to disassemble the workpiece, the driving member 310 drives the transmission member 320 to move to the left, the first part 301 cooperates with the first guide 1101 to push the first clamping member 110 to move upward and backward, the first front end 110a of the first clamping member 110 and the second front end 120a of the second clamping member 120 are offset, so that the upper end of the workpiece is not blocked, facilitating the disassembly of the workpiece.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 10As shown, the transmission member 320 comprises a plate body 3201 and a protruding part 3202, the plate body 3201 is connected with the output end of the driving member 310, the plate body 3201 is provided with a first guide slot 32011, the protruding part 3202 is provided on the plate body 3201, the second guide plate 2102 is provided with a stop part 21021, when the transmission member 320 moves in the second stroke, the protruding part 3202 contacts with the stop part 21021. The plate body 3201 moves in the driving direction, so that the protruding part 3202 can push the stop part 21021 in the driving direction, driving the first clamping member 110 to move in the second direction, which has simple structure and can save cost.

[0077] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The first guide member 1101 can be a slide column, during the movement of the transmission member 320, the first guide slot 32011 and the first guide member 1101 are in sliding fit, which can drive the first clamping member 110 to move in the first direction and the second direction, which has simple structure and can save cost.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 10 The protruding part 3202 is provided with a driving slope 32021, which can contact with the stop part 21021 to drive the second guide plate 2102 to move in the second direction, as described above, the driving direction can be the left-right direction, when the plate body 3201 moves in the driving direction, the driving slope 32021 is a slope with gradually decreasing height in the advancing direction of the driving direction, therefore, after the driving slope 32021 contacts with the stop part 21021, as the plate body 3201 moves in the driving direction, the stop part 21021 can force the protruding part 3202 to move in the second direction, so that the transmission member 320 as a whole moves in the second direction, pushing the first clamping member 110 to move close to the second clamping member 120.

[0079] In some embodiments, the driving slope 32021 is a flat surface or an arc surface. It can be understood that the driving slope 32021 is designed as a flat surface, which is easy to process. The driving slope 32021 is designed as an arc surface, which moves more smoothly when contacting with the stop part 21021.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 11 The stop part 21021 comprises a mounting shaft 201 and a first rolling body 202 provided on the mounting shaft 201, the first rolling body 202 contacts with the protruding part 3202. By setting the stop part 21021 to comprise the mounting shaft 201 and the first rolling body 202, the first rolling body 202 and the protruding part 3202 are in rolling fit when contacting, which can reduce friction and wear, prolonging the service life.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first rolling body 202 can be a roller or a rolling bearing.

[0082] As shown in Figure 1 some embodiments, the plate body part 3201 is provided with a plurality of protruding parts 3202, which are sequentially arranged along the driving direction. The second guide plate 2102 is provided with a plurality of stop parts 21021, which are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of protruding parts 3202. That is, the length direction of the plate body part 3201 is the same as the driving direction.
