Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of component disassembly mechanism technology, and particularly to a clamp disassembly mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Clamps are a common structure in mechanical manufacturing. A clamp generally consists of two interconnected clamping plates. Under the action of external force, the two clamping plates can move away from each other. After the external force is removed, the two clamping plates can move closer together under the action of elastic force to clamp the workpiece located between the two clamping plates.

[0003] In related technologies, the removal of clamps from workpieces generally requires manual operation by workers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. This invention provides a clamp removal mechanism that can automatically remove clamps from a workpiece.

The carrier has a bearing area for accommodating a workpiece. The feeding assembly is located on one side of the carrier and includes a barb structure. The driving assembly is connected to the feeding assembly. Under the drive of the driving assembly, the feeding assembly can extend into or out of the bearing area. During the process of the feeding assembly extending out of the bearing area, the barb structure can hook and push the clamp on the workpiece located in the bearing area so that the clamp can be disengaged from the workpiece.

[0006] The clamp removal mechanism of this invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the barb on the unloading assembly allows the barb structure to hook the clamp during the process of the drive assembly extending the unloading assembly out of the bearing area, thereby causing the clamp to detach from the workpiece in the bearing area and achieving separation of the clamp and the workpiece. The clamp removal mechanism of this invention can automatically remove the clamps from the workpiece in the bearing area, reducing the workload of workers and saving time and effort.

[0007] According to the clamp disassembly mechanism of the present invention, the unloading assembly further includes a mounting frame, and a barb structure is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame. The barb structure includes a barb portion, which can rotate downward under the action of gravity to hook the opening edge of the clamp during the process of the unloading assembly extending out of the bearing area.

[0008] According to the clamp disassembly mechanism of the present invention, the feeding assembly further includes an abutment member, and the barb structure further includes an abutment portion. The rotation center of the barb structure is located between the abutment portion and the barb portion. The abutment member is located on the upper side of the abutment portion and abuts against the abutment portion.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clamp disassembly mechanism includes a mounting frame comprising a first limiting member, the first limiting member comprising two first limiting portions distributed along the width direction of the clamp, and a barb structure disposed between the two first limiting portions. The two first limiting members are used to limit the two sides in the width direction of the clamp.

[0010] According to the clamp disassembly mechanism of the present invention, the mounting frame further includes a second limiting member located below the first limiting member. A clearance area for avoiding the workpiece is formed between the second limiting member and the first limiting member. The second limiting member includes two second limiting portions distributed along the width direction of the clamp. The two second limiting members are used to limit the two sides in the width direction of the clamp.

[0011] According to the clamp disassembly mechanism of the present invention, a discharge hole is formed on the second limiting member, the discharge hole is located between the two second limiting parts, and allows the clamp in the avoidance area to pass through.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clamp disassembly mechanism further includes a storage container for storing the clamp. The storage container is disposed on one side of the carrier and located below the feeding assembly, with the inlet of the storage container facing the feeding hole.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clamp disassembly mechanism has a relief groove on the carrier for avoiding the second limiting member.

[0014] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the clamp disassembly mechanism further includes a base and a cover plate. The carrier and the drive assembly are both disposed on the base. The cover plate is hinged to the base. The cover plate is provided with a plurality of pressing members. Under the action of external force, the cover plate can rotate to approach or move away from the carrier and cause the pressing members to press or release the workpiece in the carrier area.

[0015] According to the clamp disassembly mechanism of the present invention, a first buckle is provided at the end of the cover plate away from the hinge end, and a second buckle is provided on the base.

The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0035] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0036] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 5 The clamp disassembly mechanism of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0037] refer to Figure 5 The clamp 700 includes two clamping pieces 710 distributed vertically. One end of the two clamping pieces 710 is connected, and the other end of the two clamping pieces 710 is separated from each other to form an opening. The two clamping pieces 710 are homogeneous and integrally disposed. When the clamping pieces 710 are clamped on the workpiece 800, the workpiece 800 is located between the two clamping pieces 710.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clamp disassembly mechanism includes a carrier 100, a feeding assembly 200, and a driving assembly 300.

[0039] The carrier 100 is provided with a carrier area for accommodating the workpiece 800; the unloading assembly 200 is located on one side of the carrier 100 and includes a barb structure 210; the drive assembly 300 is connected to the unloading assembly 200. Under the drive of the drive assembly 300, the unloading assembly 200 can extend into or out of the carrier area. During the process of the unloading assembly 200 extending out of the carrier area, the barb structure 210 can hook and push the clamp 700 on the workpiece 800 located in the carrier area so that the clamp 700 can be detached from the workpiece 800.

[0040] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a clamp 700 can be installed on the right edge of the workpiece 800, extending in the left-right direction. The unloading assembly 200 can be located on the right side of the carrier 100, and the output end of the drive assembly 300 is connected to the right end of the unloading assembly 200. Driven by the drive assembly 300, the unloading assembly 200 moves to the left to extend into the carrier area until the barb structure 210 is located on the left side of the opening of the clamp 700. Then, the drive assembly 300 drives the unloading assembly 200 to move to the right so that the unloading assembly 200 leaves the carrier area. During this process, the barb structure 210 hooks the edge of the opening of the clamp 700 and pushes the clamp 700 to the right until the clamp 700 disengages from the workpiece 800.

[0041] Specifically, the unloading assembly 200 also includes a mounting bracket 220, and a hook structure 210 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 220. The hook structure 210 includes a hook portion 211, which, during the process of the unloading assembly 200 extending out of the bearing area, can rotate downward under gravity to hook the opening edge of the clamp 700. For example, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, during the process of the drive assembly 300 driving the unloading assembly 200 to move to the left to extend into the bearing area, the barb part 211 abuts against the clamping piece 710 on the upper side of the clamp 700 and moves to the left along the upper surface of the clamping piece 710; after the barb part 211 moves to the left side of the clamp 700, under the action of its own weight, the barb part 211 rotates downward, at which time the barb part 211 rotates to the right side of the clamp 700; during the process of the drive assembly 300 driving the unloading assembly 200 to move to the right to leave the bearing area, the barb part 211 hooks the left side of the clamping piece 710 on the upper side and pushes the clamp 700 to the right, so that the clamp 700 follows the unloading assembly 200 to leave the bearing area, thereby realizing the separation of the clamp 700 and the workpiece 800.

[0042] Understandably, since the barb structure 210 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 220, the barb structure 210 can automatically hook the clamp 700 under the action of gravity, thereby causing the clamp 700 to separate from the workpiece 800.

[0043] Optionally, in order for the barb structure 210 to automatically hook the clip 700, in some other embodiments, the barb structure 210 can be rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 220 by a torsion spring. In this case, under the elastic force of the torsion spring, the barb structure 210 can rotate to automatically hook the clip 700.

[0044] Since the barb structure 210 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 220, it will rotate downwards under its own weight, causing the position of the barb structure 210 to be lower than the height of the workpiece 800. When the drive assembly 300 drives the mounting bracket 220 to extend into the bearing area, the barb structure 210 will abut against the clamp 700, thus preventing the unloading assembly 200 from extending into the bearing area. At this time, the unloading assembly 200 will have difficulty working normally.

[0045] To ensure that the barb structure 210 has a certain height, further, in some embodiments, reference is made to... Figures 2 to 4 The feeding assembly 200 also includes an abutment 230, and the barb structure 210 also includes an abutment portion 212. The rotation center of the barb structure 210 is located between the abutment portion 212 and the barb portion 211. The abutment 230 is located on the upper side of the abutment portion 212 and abuts against the abutment portion 212.

[0046] Understandably, since the rotation center of the barb structure 210 is located between the abutment portion 212 and the barb portion 211, the abutment portion 212 will rotate upward as the barb portion 211 rotates downward due to its own gravity. By setting the abutment member 230, the abutment member 230 can limit the upper part of the abutment portion 212, thereby limiting the degree of upward rotation of the abutment portion 212, and thus limiting the minimum height of the barb portion 211, so that the barb portion 211 can be located above the workpiece 800, so that the barb portion 211 can smoothly enter the bearing area under the drive of the drive assembly 300.

[0047] During the process of the barbed structure 210 pushing the clamp 700 away from the workpiece 800, the direction of the pushing force applied by the barbed structure 210 to the clamp 700 may be on a different straight line from the extension direction of the clamp 700. In this case, the clamp 700 will rotate under the pushing force of the barbed structure 210. Not only will the clamp 700 have difficulty detaching from the workpiece 800, but the clamp 700 will also cause additional scratches to the workpiece 800. To enable the clamp 700 to detach from the workpiece 800 along its extension direction, in some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 4 The mounting bracket 220 includes a first limiting member 221, which includes two members distributed along the width direction of the clamp 700.

[0048] The first limiting part 221a and the barb structure 210 are disposed between the two first limiting parts 221a. The two first limiting members 221 are used to limit the two sides of the clamp 700 in the width direction.

[0049] It is understandable that the clamp 700 extends in the left and right direction and clamps onto the workpiece 800. After the unloading assembly 200 extends into the bearing area, the upper clamping piece 710 of the clamp 700 can be located between the two first limiting parts 221a. The two first limiting parts 221a can limit the clamping piece 710 in the front and back direction, so that when the barbed structure 210 pushes the clamp 700 away from the bearing area, the clamp 700 can leave the bearing area in the left and right direction.

[0050] Furthermore, the first limiting member 221 can limit the upper clamping piece 710. Correspondingly, in order to limit the lower clamping piece 710, in some embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 4 The mounting bracket 220 also includes a second limiting member 222 located below the first limiting member 221. A clearance area for avoiding the workpiece 800 is formed between the second limiting member 222 and the first limiting member 221. The second limiting member 222 includes two second limiting portions 222a distributed along the width direction of the clamp 700. The two second limiting members 222 are used to limit the two sides of the clamp 700 in the width direction.

[0051] Although the second limiting member 222 enables the two second limiting parts 222a to limit the clamp 700 of the clamp piece 710 located on the lower side in the width direction, after the clamp 700 is removed from the workpiece 800, the removed clamp 700 will remain in the clearance area between the first limiting member 221 and the second limiting member 222, affecting the unloading assembly 200's unloading of subsequent clamps 700.

[0052] In order for the detached clamp 700 to automatically leave the avoidance zone, in some embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 4 The second limiting member 222 has a discharge hole 222b, which is located between the two second limiting parts 222a and allows the clamp 700 in the clearance area to pass through. Furthermore, after the clamp 700 is released from the workpiece 800, the clamp 700 can leave the clearance area through the discharge hole 222b.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to collect the workpiece after it has detached from the clamp 700, refer to... Figure 1 In some embodiments, the clamp disassembly mechanism further includes a storage container 400 for storing the clamps 700. The storage container 400 is located on one side of the support member 100 and below the unloading assembly 200, with the inlet of the storage container 400 facing the unloading hole 222b. Thus, the clamps 700 within the clearance area can directly enter the storage container 400 through the unloading hole 222b, thereby automatically collecting the clamps 700 after they have detached from the workpiece 800, reducing the labor intensity of workers and saving time and effort.

[0054] Since the barb structure 210 is installed between the two first limiting parts 221a, the barb structure 210 can only apply a pushing force to the clamping piece 710 on the upper side of the clamp 700. Consequently, the clamping piece 710 on the upper side and the clamping piece 710 on the lower side are subjected to uneven forces, which not only makes it difficult for the clamping piece 710 on the lower side to overcome friction and move relative to the workpiece 800, but also makes the clamp 700 prone to deformation and damage.

[0055] In order to ensure that the two clamping pieces 710 are subjected to uniform force, in some embodiments, a barb structure 210 is also provided between the two second limiting parts 222a. When the unloading assembly 200 unloads the clamp 700 on the workpiece 800, the barb structure 210 located on the upper and lower sides can apply a pushing force to the clamping pieces 710 on the upper and lower sides of the clamp 700 respectively, so that the upper and lower clamping pieces 710 are subjected to uniform force.

[0056] Since the workpiece 800 is placed within the bearing area of ​​the support member 100, and the second limiting member 222 needs to be inserted below the workpiece 800, in order to avoid interference between the support member 100 and the second limiting member 222, in some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 The carrier 100 is provided with a clearance groove 110 for avoiding the second limiting member 222, and when the workpiece 800 is placed in the carrier area, the workpiece 800 is located above the clearance groove 110.

[0057] It should be noted that multiple clamps 700 may be installed on one end of the workpiece 800. In order to unload the multiple clamps 700 on one end of the workpiece 800, the mounting frame 220 may be provided with multiple sets of corresponding first limiting members 221 and second limiting members 222, and each first limiting member 221 has a barb structure 210 between its two first limiting parts 221a. Furthermore, under the drive of the drive assembly 300, each barb structure 210 can unload one clamp 700.

[0058] It should be noted that the drive assembly 300 can simultaneously drive multiple feeding assemblies 200 to simultaneously feed multiple clamps 700.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, multiple drive components 300 may be provided, and each drive component 300 may be simultaneously connected to multiple unloading components 200 to realize the unloading of multiple clamps 700 on the workpiece 800.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to limit the workpiece 800 in the bearing area in the vertical direction, reference is made to... Figure 1The clamp removal mechanism also includes a base 500 and a cover plate 600. The carrier 100 and the drive assembly 300 are both located on the base 500. The cover plate 600 is hinged to the base 500. The cover plate 600 is provided with a plurality of pressing members 610. The pressing members 610 pass through the cover plate 600. Under the action of external force, the cover plate 600 can rotate to approach or move away from the carrier 100, and cause the pressing members 610 to press or release the workpiece 800 in the carrier area.

[0061] Furthermore, when the pressing component 610 presses against the workpiece 800 within the bearing area, in order to ensure that the pressing component 610 always maintains the state of pressing against the workpiece 800, refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cover plate 600 is provided with a first buckle 620 at the end away from the hinge end, and the base 500 is provided with a second buckle 510. When the pressing member 610 presses the workpiece 800 in the bearing area, the first buckle 620 and the second buckle 510 engage with each other.

[0062] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
