[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 7 The spring clamp lock release device for automatic loading and unloading in this embodiment includes a base 1, a bracket 2 fixed to the top of the base 1, a vertical plate 3 fixed to the top of the bracket 2, a cylinder 4 fixed to the front end of the vertical plate 3, a T-shaped plate 5 at the lower end of the cylinder 4, a clamping device 6 on the inner side of the T-shaped plate 5, a positioning plate 7 fixed to the top of the base 1, and a pushing component 8 on the rear side of the bracket 2.

[0028] Please see Figure 4-6 In this embodiment, the pushing component 8 includes a horizontal plate 81 fixed to the rear side of the bracket 2. A chain 82 is provided inside the horizontal plate 81. Two gears 83 mesh inside the chain 82. Two rotating rods 84 are fixed inside the gears 83. A moving plate 85 is fixed to the lower end of the chain 82. An electric push rod 86 is fixed to the output end of the moving plate 85. A horizontal bar 87 is fixed to the output end of the electric push rod 86. A push plate 88 is fixed to the front end of the horizontal bar 87. The pushing component 8 also includes a clamping component disposed at the front end of the push plate 88.

[0029] The first micro motor is fixed on the left side of the horizontal plate 81. The right sides of the two rotating rods 84 are rotatably connected to the right wall of the inner cavity of the horizontal plate 81 through bearings. A rotating hole is opened on the left side of the horizontal plate 81, and the rotating rod 84 passes through the rotating hole to the outside of the horizontal plate 81 so that the first micro motor is fixed to the rotating rod 84 and can drive the rotating rod 84 to rotate. The other end of the other rotating rod 84 is rotatably connected to the left wall of the inner cavity of the horizontal plate 81 through bearings. Thus, the two rotating rods 84 can support the chain 82 and drive it to rotate through the gear 83.

[0030] In addition, the sliding plate 85 is a rectangle with a longer middle section and two ends. The lower end of the horizontal plate 81 has a sliding hole. The sliding plate 85 passes through the sliding hole to the outside of the horizontal plate 81 and is slidably connected to it, so that the sliding plate 85 can pass through the outside of the horizontal plate 81, so that the sliding plate 85 can drive the horizontal bar 87 to move back and forth through the electric push rod 86.

[0031] Furthermore, the left and right walls of the inner cavity of the horizontal plate 81 are provided with sliding grooves, and the left and right ends of the moving plate 85 are located inside the sliding grooves and are slidably connected to them, so that the moving plate 85 can slide smoothly in the horizontal plate 81, so as to ensure that the chain 82 will not be pulled, and thus ensure that the chain 82 can rotate normally.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a second micro motor 881 fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the push plate 88. A worm gear 882 is fixed to the output end of the second micro motor 881. A worm wheel 883 is engaged at the top of the worm gear 882. A screw 884 is fixed to the inner side of the worm wheel 883. Two clamping plates 885 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw 884.

[0033] Secondly, threaded holes are provided on the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 885. The screw 884 passes through the outside of the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to it. The threads at both ends of the outer surface of the screw 884 turn in opposite directions so that the screw 884 can drive the two clamping plates 885 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions.

[0034] Furthermore, a sliding hole is provided at the front end of the push plate 88, and the clamping plate 885 passes through the sliding hole to the outside of the push plate 88 and is slidably connected thereto, so that the clamping plate 885 can be located inside the push plate 88, making it easy to move it.

[0035] Please see Figure 2-4 In this embodiment, the clamping device 6 includes a vertical rod 61 disposed on the inner side of the T-shaped plate 5. A spring 62 is sleeved on the outer surface of the vertical rod 61. A nut 63 is threaded to the upper end of the vertical rod 61. A pressure plate 64 is fixed on the outer surface of the vertical rod 61. A round hole is opened at the top of the pressure plate 64. The vertical rod 61 passes through the outside of the round hole and is fixed thereto. An L-shaped plate 65 is fixed on the outer surface of the vertical rod 61. A stop plate 66 is fixed at the front end of the L-shaped plate 65.

[0036] Meanwhile, the front end of the T-shaped plate 5 is provided with a slot, which is T-shaped. The lower end of the nut 63 abuts against the bottom of the inner side of the slot, so that the upright 61 can be locked inside the T-shaped plate 5. The front end of the bracket 2 is provided with a groove, which corresponds to the slot. The L-shaped plate 65 is located inside the groove and is locked with it. The L-shaped plate 65 can also be locked inside the bracket 2, so that the clamping device 6 can be installed on the bracket 2.

[0037] It should be noted that cylinder 4, clamping device 6, and the electronic components mentioned in the text are all commonly known in the prior art, and their working principles will not be elaborated upon in the text.

[0038] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0039] In use, when the clamping device 6 needs to be replaced, the output end of the first micro motor drives the gear 83 to rotate via the rotating rod 84, so that it can mesh with the chain 82 and drive the other gear 83 to rotate, thereby enabling the chain 82 to rotate. The chain 82 drives the electric push rod 86 forward via the moving plate 85, and the electric push rod 86 drives the push plate 88 to move via the crossbar 87, so that the push plate 88 can push the clamping device 6 forward, so that the clamping device 6 can be moved out of the positioning plate 7 of the base 1. The required clamping device 6 can then be placed at the front end of the base 1, so that it is positioned between the two clamping plates 885. The output end of the second micro motor 881 drives the worm gear 882 to rotate, so that the worm gear 882 meshes with the worm wheel 883. So that the worm gear 883 can drive the screw 884 to rotate, so that the screw 884 can drive the two clamping plates 885 to move relative to each other, so that the two clamping plates 885 can clamp and fix the required clamping device 6. The electric push rod 86 drives the clamping device 6 to move upward through the cross bar 87, so that the clamping device 6 can be moved to the inside of the positioning plate 7 on the base 1. When the clamping device 6 is on the base 1, the above steps are repeated, so that the moving plate 85 drives the cross bar 87 to move backward through the electric push rod 86, so that the cross bar 87 drives the clamping device 6 to move backward through the push plate 88, so that the clamping device 6 can be inserted into the slot of the T-shaped plate 5 and the groove of the bracket 2 in sequence. Therefore, the clamping device 6 does not need to be manually disassembled and removed by the staff, and the required clamping device 6 can be moved to the base 1, which can effectively improve the replacement efficiency.
