For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. The embodiments are written in a progressive manner.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 A translational automatic clamping and locking device of the present application comprises a sliding groove plate 1, the inner side wall of the sliding groove plate 1 is provided with a right-angle sliding groove 2 on both sides, a moving seat 3 is horizontally slid along the length direction inside the sliding groove plate 1, the moving seat 3 is hollow, a long hole 4 is obliquely provided on the front and rear side walls of the moving seat 3, the long hole 4 is communicated with the inside of the moving seat 3, a sliding column 5 is slidably arranged in the long hole 4, the outer end of the sliding column 5 is slidably arranged in the right-angle sliding groove 2, a U-shaped piston plate 6 is vertically slid in the moving seat 3, the end of the sliding column 5 is transversely slidably arranged on the side wall of the U-shaped piston plate 6, a vertical plate 7 is vertically arranged on the top of the U-shaped piston plate 6, the vertical plate 7 is slid through the moving seat 3 and extends out, a supporting plate 8 is fixed on the top of the vertical plate 7, a first push-pull plate 9 is obliquely rotatably arranged on the front and rear side walls of the vertical plate 7 outside the moving seat 3, a clamping plate 10 is rotatably arranged at the outer end of the first push-pull plate 9, one end of the clamping plate 10 is rotatably arranged on the top of the moving seat 3, and the other end of the clamping plate 10 is used for clamping parts;

[0031] Among them, the sliding groove plate 1 is installed on the machine tool processing table, the leading end of the sliding groove plate 1 extends to the outside of the machine tool, and the trailing end of the sliding groove plate 1 is provided with a pneumatic cylinder 20, which is used to drive the moving seat 3 to move.

[0032] As can be seen, the length direction of the sliding groove plate 1 is along the direction perpendicular to the machine tool, so the moving seat 3 can slide along the direction perpendicular to the machine tool, in use, the air cylinder 20 is elongated and pushes the moving seat 3 to slide outward in the sliding groove plate 1, the moving seat 3 drives the sliding column 5 to slide in the horizontal part of the right-angle sliding groove 2, at this time the sliding column 5 is located inside the lower side of the long hole 4, the moving seat 3 can drive the supporting plate 8 to move horizontally to the outside of the machine tool through the vertical plate 7, so as to move the supporting plate 8 out of the machine tool, when the sliding column 5 slides to the vertical part of the right-angle sliding groove 2, the supporting plate 8 moves to the outside of the machine tool, because the long hole 4 is inclined, the inner wall of the long hole 4 generates an inclined thrust on the sliding column 5 and pushes the sliding column 5 to move upward in the vertical part of the right-angle sliding groove 2, at this time the sliding column 5 can drive the supporting plate 8 to move horizontally upward through the U-shaped piston plate 6 and the vertical plate 7, the vertical plate 7 synchronously drives the two clamping plates 10 to separate and open through the two first push-pull plates 9, the supporting plate 8 moves vertically to the feeding position, places the parts on the supporting plate 8, controls the air cylinder 20 to contract, and the supporting plate 8 carries the parts to move downward, at this time the two clamping plates 10 are close to each other and clamp and fix the parts therebetween, then the supporting plate 8 carries the parts to move horizontally and moves the parts into the machining station in the machine tool, so as to realize the translational locking of the parts.

[0033] By adopting the translational locking mode to automatically fix and transfer the parts, the dangerous operation of manually feeding the parts into the machine tool can be avoided, the safety hidden danger is effectively reduced, the operation mode is simplified, the feeding and discharging positions of the parts are transferred outside the machine tool, and the parts are automatically locked during movement, the tedious operation of manually frequently disassembling and assembling the parts can be avoided, manpower is saved, and work efficiency is improved.

[0034] More preferably, the sliding groove plate 1 is composed of a U-shaped plate 11 and two movable plates 14, the front and rear side walls of the U-shaped plate 11 are both provided with an opening for containing the movable plate 14, the inner side walls of the U-shaped plate 11 are both horizontally provided with a linear sliding groove 12, the linear sliding groove 12 is used as the horizontal part of the right-angle sliding groove 2, the end of the linear sliding groove 12 towards the opening is provided with an extension table 13, the extension table 13 is located in the opening, and the extension table 13 is used as the extension of the bottom surface of the linear sliding groove 12.

[0035] The movable plate 14 is vertically and slidingly installed in the opening, the extension table 13 is located in the right-angle groove 15, and the inner wall of the right-angle groove 15 and the side wall of the opening constitute the vertical part of the right-angle sliding groove 2.

[0036] As can be seen, by adopting the sliding groove plate 1 with the structure, the height of the vertical part of the right-angle sliding groove 2 can be increased when the movable plate 14 moves up and down, so as to adjust the moving distance of the sliding column 5 in the vertical part of the right-angle sliding groove 2, and the stroke of the supporting plate 8 in the vertical direction is conveniently adjusted.

[0037] More preferably, a second push-pull plate 16 is inclinedly hinged to the side wall of the movable seat 3 facing the first end of the slide plate 1. The outer end of the second push-pull plate 16 is provided with a side push plate 17. The bottom of the side push plate 17 is hinged to the inner side wall of the U-shaped plate 11. The top of the side push plate 17 is used to press the parts on the support plate 8. A positioning plate 19 is fixed to the tail end of the slide plate 1. The fixed end of the cylinder 20 is installed on the positioning plate 19. The movable end of the cylinder 20 is connected to the outer wall of the movable seat 3.

[0038] The bottom of the inner wall of the slide plate 1 is provided with a guide rail 18, and the movable seat 3 is slidably installed on the guide rail 18.

[0039] As can be seen, when the movable seat 3 moves horizontally, the movable seat 3 can drive the side push plate 17 to rotate through the second push-pull plate 16. When the movable seat 3 carries the parts to the position of the positioning plate 19, the top of the side push plate 17 tilts towards the parts and cooperates with the positioning plate 19 to clamp and fix the parts. Thus, the parts are clamped and fixed in two directions through the two clamping plates 10, the side push plate 17 and the positioning plate 19.

[0040] More preferably, a wedge plate 21 is fixed at the first end of the slide plate 1 at an angle.

[0041] As can be seen, the wedge plate 21 can be used to lock and limit the side push plate 17, so that the second push-pull plate 16 and the side push plate 17 are always in an angled state, avoiding the second push-pull plate 16 and the side push plate 17 from being parallel to each other and causing the second push-pull plate 16 to be unable to pull the side push plate 17 to move.

[0042] More preferably, the side push plate 17 has an opening in the middle, and a rotating post 22 is rotatably provided in the opening. The outer end of the second push-pull plate 16 passes through the rotating post 22 and slides relative to it. Multiple baffles 23 are provided on the outer end surface of the second push-pull plate 16. The second push-pull plate 16 and the side push plate 17 are elastically connected by a leaf spring 24.

[0043] It can be seen that when the second push-pull plate 16 pushes the side push plate 17 to tilt and makes the side push plate 17 overlap the inclined surface of the wedge plate 21, the side push plate 17 stops moving. Since the vertical movement distance of the sliding column 5 is adjustable, the horizontal movement distance of the moving seat 3 is also adjustable. If the moving seat 3 still needs to move horizontally, the moving seat 3 can push the second push-pull plate 16 to slide on the rotating column 22, and the leaf spring 24 will generate elastic deformation. Thus, the rotating column 22, the stop 23 and the leaf spring 24 can play a secondary extension and transition role for the displacement distance of the moving seat 3.

[0044] When the second push-pull plate 16 rotates relative to the side push plate 17, the rotating column 22 rotates in the through hole. By arranging the blocking edge 23, the position of the second push-pull plate 16 on the rotating column 22 can be conveniently clamped and positioned. The plate spring 24 can generate an elastic pushing force on the second push-pull plate 16 and the side push plate 17. Therefore, when the second push-pull plate 16 pulls the side push plate 17 to move, the second push-pull plate 16 needs to slide on the rotating column 22 first. When the blocking edge 23 contacts the rotating column 22, the second push-pull plate 16 can push the side push plate 17 to rotate through the blocking edge 23 and the rotating column 22.

[0045] More preferably, the bottom of the U-shaped plate 11 is provided with a motor 25 and a transmission shaft 26. The motor 25 is fixed on the U-shaped plate 11, and the transmission shaft 26 is rotatably installed on the U-shaped plate 11. The output end of the motor 25 and the transmission shaft 26 are both provided with a first gear 27, and the two first gears 27 are engaged. The two ends of the transmission shaft 26 are both provided with a second gear 28.

[0046] The side wall of the movable plate 14 is provided with teeth, and the second gear 28 is engaged with the teeth on the movable plate 14.

[0047] As can be seen, the motor 25 drives the transmission shaft 26 to rotate through the first gear 27. The transmission shaft 26 can drive the movable plate 14 to move up and down through the second gear 28, so as to adjust the height of the movable plate 14 and the stroke of the supporting plate 8 in the vertical direction.

[0048] More preferably, the inner side wall of the gap and the side wall of the extension table 13 are both provided with a sliding rib 29. The left and right side walls of the movable plate 14 and the inner side wall of the right-angle groove 15 are both provided with a clamping groove 30, and the sliding rib 29 is slidably installed in the clamping groove 30.

[0049] As can be seen, the sliding rib 29 and the clamping groove 30 can conveniently guide the movable plate 14, so as to realize the sliding connection state of the movable plate 14 and the U-shaped plate 11.

[0050] More preferably, the side wall of the U-shaped piston plate 6 is provided with an air port 31.

[0051] As can be seen, by arranging the air port 31, the space on the upper side and the lower side of the U-shaped piston plate 6 inside the moving seat 3 can be conveniently communicated, so as to conveniently enable the U-shaped piston plate 6 to normally slide in the moving seat 3. When the U-shaped piston plate 6 moves to the bottom or the top of the inner wall of the moving seat 3, the upper side space or the lower side space of the U-shaped piston plate 6 is not closed due to the shielding of the side wall of the U-shaped piston plate 6 to the long hole 4, so as to avoid the hindering of the air pressure to the movement of the U-shaped piston plate 6.

[0052] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
