Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts clamps, and more particularly to a deformable and adjustable multifunctional clamp. Background Technology

[0002] As the foundation of the automotive industry, auto parts are a necessary factor supporting its continued healthy development. Especially with the current vigorous and dynamic independent development and innovation in the automotive industry, a robust parts system is essential. Independent vehicle brands and technological innovation rely on parts as a foundation, while independent innovation in parts, in turn, strongly drives the development of the entire vehicle industry.

[0003] In automobile production, various workpieces of different shapes need to be clamped and positioned. Through assembly line operations, different levels of processing are completed. Different sizes of fixtures are required for different shaped workpieces. Fixtures cannot be adjusted according to different shapes of workpieces, and the versatility of fixtures is small, making them difficult to promote and apply. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes a deformable and adjustable multifunctional clamp.

[0005] The present invention proposes a deformable and adjustable multifunctional clamp, including a conveying mechanism and a base, wherein the conveying mechanism drives the base to move;

[0006] The base is provided with a first track and two sets of second tracks. The two sets of second tracks have the same length as the first track and are parallel to each other. The two sets of second tracks are located on both sides of the first track. A first movable frame is slidably connected to the first track, and a second movable frame is slidably connected to each of the two sets of second tracks.

[0007] A support rod is vertically installed on the first movable frame, and a mounting frame is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod. Telescopic rods are vertically installed on both sets of the second movable frames, and a mounting frame is fixedly connected to one end of both sets of telescopic rods.

[0008] Both sets of mounting brackets are equipped with clamping mechanisms.

[0009] Preferably, the base is a cuboid with a built-in cavity. The two ends of the inner cavity of the base are rotatably connected to a first lead screw and two sets of second lead screws. The two sets of second lead screws are respectively located on both sides of the first lead screw. The first lead screw is threadedly connected to the first movable frame, and the two sets of second lead screws are respectively threadedly connected to the two sets of second movable frames.

[0010] Furthermore, a first driving member and two sets of second driving members are installed on the base. The first driving member can drive the first lead screw to rotate, and the two sets of second driving members respectively drive the two sets of second lead screws to rotate.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a crossbeam, both ends of which are slidably connected to an adjusting frame, and the ends of both sets of adjusting frames are fixedly equipped with claws.

[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the crossbeam are provided with racks, and each set of adjustment frames is fixedly installed with a fourth driving component and a gear, the gear meshing with the rack.

[0013] Preferably, the midpoint of the crossbeam is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, and a third driving component is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame, which drives the crossbeam to rotate.

[0014] Furthermore, the distance between the two sets of the second movable frames is greater than the width of the crossbeam.

[0015] Preferably, the inner wall of each set of claws is provided with a rubber layer.

[0016] The present invention proposes a deformable and adjustable multifunctional fixture that can change the position of the two sets of clamping mechanisms, rotate the angle of the crossbeams on the two sets of clamping mechanisms, and change the distance between the two sets of jaws on the two sets of adjusting frames on the crossbeams. Through the above adjustments, workpieces of most shapes can be clamped and fixed, and workpieces of irregular shapes can also be clamped stably. One set of fixtures can realize the functions of multiple fixtures through deformation and adjustment, which greatly improves the versatility of the fixture. Moreover, the structure is simple, easy to use, and easy to promote and apply.

[0031] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1-4 The illustrated multi-functional deformable and adjustable clamp includes a conveying mechanism 1 and a base 2, wherein the conveying mechanism 1 drives the base 2 to move.

[0033] The base 2 is provided with a first track 201 and two sets of second tracks 202. The two sets of second tracks 202 are of the same length as the first track 201 and are parallel to each other. The two sets of second tracks 202 are located on both sides of the first track 201. A first movable frame 207 is slidably connected to the first track 201, and a second movable frame 208 is slidably connected to each of the two sets of second tracks 202.

[0034] A support rod 3 is vertically installed on the first movable frame 207, and a mounting frame 501 is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 3. Telescopic rods 4 are vertically installed on both sets of the second movable frames 208, and a mounting frame 501 is fixedly connected to one end of both sets of telescopic rods 4.

[0035] Both sets of mounting brackets 501 are equipped with clamping mechanisms.

[0036] The second movable frames 208 on the two sets of second tracks 202 are supported by two sets of telescopic rods 4, and the first movable frame 207 on the first track 201 is supported by the support rod 3. The first movable frame can slide freely between the two sets of second movable frames 208. The telescopic rod 4 is used to adjust the height of the clamping mechanism at the top of the telescopic rod 4, and to adjust the relative position of the two sets of clamping mechanisms.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 :

[0038] Preferably, the base 2 is a cuboid with a built-in cavity. The two ends of the cavity of the base 2 are rotatably connected to a first lead screw 204 and two sets of second lead screws 206. The two sets of second lead screws 206 are respectively located on both sides of the first lead screw 204. The first lead screw 204 is threadedly connected to the first movable frame 207, and the two sets of second lead screws 206 are respectively threadedly connected to the two sets of second movable frames 208.

[0039] The rotation of the first lead screw 204 can control the position of the first movable frame 207 on the first track 201. The rotation speed of the two sets of second lead screws 206 is the same, which can control the position of the two sets of second movable frames 208 synchronously on the second track 202.

[0040] Furthermore, a first driving member 203 and two sets of second driving members 205 are installed on the base 2. The first driving member 203 can drive the first lead screw 204 to rotate, and the two sets of second driving members 205 respectively drive the two sets of second lead screws 206 to rotate.

[0041] The first drive member 203 and the second drive member 205 control the first lead screw 204 and the second lead screw 206 respectively to ensure accuracy and control the position of the first moving frame 207 and the second moving frame 208.

[0042] Please see Figures 2-3 :

[0043] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a crossbeam 601, both ends of which are slidably connected to an adjusting frame 603, and the ends of both sets of adjusting frames 603 are fixedly installed with claws 604.

[0044] The two sets of adjustment frames 603 can interact on the crossbeam 601, and the upper workpiece can be clamped and positioned by the chuck 604.

[0045] Furthermore, both ends of the crossbeam 601 are provided with racks 602, and each set of adjustment frames 603 is fixedly installed with a fourth driving component 605 and a gear 606, the gear 606 meshing with the rack 602.

[0046] The fourth driving component 605 drives the gear 606 to rotate. By meshing with the rack 602, the position of the gear 606 is changed, thereby driving the position of the adjusting frame 603 on the crossbeam 601, so that the workpiece is clamped and positioned by the chuck 604.

[0047] Preferably, the midpoint of the crossbeam 601 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 501, and a third driving member 502 is fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket 501. The third driving member 502 drives the crossbeam 601 to rotate, and the third driving member 502 can change the rotation angle of the crossbeam 601.

[0048] Furthermore, the distance between the two sets of the second movable frames 208 is greater than the width of the crossbeam 601.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown:

[0050] When it is necessary to clamp a workpiece with flat edges, such as a rectangle, the third drive unit 502 can change the rotation angle of the crossbeam 601. The crossbeams 601 of the two clamping mechanisms are parallel to each other. The workpiece can be fixed by adjusting the spacing of the jaws 604 on the adjusting frame 603.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown:

[0052] When it is necessary to clamp a workpiece that is symmetrical about the center, such as a circle or an ellipse, the telescopic rod 4 on the second moving frame 208 is raised. When the crossbeam 601 in the clamping mechanism on the first moving frame 207 is rotated at a certain angle, it can pass between the two sets of second moving frames 208. When the telescopic rod 4 is raised, in order to avoid blocking the chuck 604 on the clamping mechanism on the first moving frame 207, when the midpoints of the two sets of clamping mechanisms intersect each other, the spacing of the chuck 604 on the adjusting frame 603 can be adjusted to fix the workpiece.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown:

[0054] When it is necessary to clamp some irregularly shaped workpieces, the third drive component 502 can adjust the angle of the crossbeam 601 of the clamping mechanism arbitrarily according to actual needs, and the adjustment brackets 603 at both ends of the crossbeam 601 can also adjust their spacing arbitrarily as needed, which can also achieve a good clamping effect on irregular workpieces.

[0055] Preferably, the inner wall of each set of jaws 604 is provided with a rubber layer, which can clamp and position the workpiece while protecting it.

[0056] The base 2 of the present invention is conveyed by a conveying mechanism 1, which clamps the workpiece and transports it to the lower part of various process machines for processing on the assembly line.

[0057] It should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0058] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0059] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0060] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
