[0042] Example
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a flexible clamp switching device is disclosed, which employs a double-layer slide table in conjunction with a transfer device. It mainly includes a ground positioning device 1, a transfer device 2, and a switching slide table device 3. The ground positioning device 1 is fixed to the ground and located at the rear end of the switching slide table device 3, and is used to guide and position the transfer device 2 when it reaches the docking position with the switching slide table device 3. The transfer device 2 carries the clamp and transfers it to the switching slide table device 3. The switching slide table device 3 has a double-layer slide table structure.
[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the ground positioning device 1 mainly consists of a base plate 1-1, an upper connecting plate 1-2, and a bending plate 1-3. The upper connecting plate 1-2 is fixed to the base plate 1-1, and the bending plate 1-3 is fixed to the upper connecting plate 1-2. The bending plate 1-3 is used to guide and limit the guide casters 2-1-2 of the transfer device 2. The bending plate 1-3 adopts a "figure-eight" opening, and the guide casters 2-1-2 of the transfer device 2 first enter the guide from the larger end of the "figure-eight" opening, which facilitates manual operation. The ground positioning device 1 mainly plays a coarse guiding role, which can more easily guide the transfer device and send it to the correct working position.
[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the transfer device is a device for transferring fixtures, used to carry the fixtures to be switched, and to dock and lock with the slide device. The transfer device 2 mainly consists of a frame 2-1, a guide mechanism 2-2, a conveying mechanism 2-3, a locking mechanism 2-4, and a transfer fork guard 2-5. The guide mechanism 2-2 is fixed to the front end of the frame 2-1 and is used to dock with the switching slide device 3. Multiple conveying mechanisms 2-3 are arranged at intervals and fixed on the frame 2-1 for conveying fixtures along the workpiece feed direction. The locking mechanism 2-4 is installed on both sides of the front end and the top of the rear end of the frame 2-1, respectively for positioning when the transfer device docks with the switching slide device 3 and for docking and fixing with the fixture. The transfer fork guard 2-5 is fixed to the bottom of the frame 2-1.
[0046] As Figure 7 shown, the frame 2-1 is the main body of the whole transfer device, which is composed of four parts: the main frame 2-1-1, the guide caster 2-1-2, the push caster 2-1-3 and the buffer block 2-1-4. The main frame 2-1-1 is the main body of the frame part, mainly serving as a carrier. The guide caster 2-1-2 is fixed at the bottom front end of the main frame 2-1-1, used to form a guide cooperation with the ground device 1, and serves as a coarse guide. The push caster 2-1-3 is fixed at the bottom of the main frame 2-1-1, and is the source of movement of the transfer device. The buffer block 2-1-4 is fixed at the top rear end of the main frame 2-1-1, and serves as a buffer when the clamp is pushed onto the transfer device by the switching sliding table device.
[0047] As Figure 8 shown, the guide mechanism 2-2 is installed at the front end of the frame, used to form a "V" block cooperation with the switching sliding table device 3, and form a fine guide cooperation.
[0048] As Figure 9 shown, the conveying mechanism 2-3 is mainly composed of a connecting plate 2-3-1 and three needle roller cam guides 2-3-2. One needle roller cam guide 2-3-2 is fixed horizontally on the connecting plate 2-3-1, and the other two needle roller cam guides 2-3-2 are fixed vertically on the connecting plate 2-3-1 and are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the connecting plate 2-3-1. The horizontally arranged needle roller cam guide can greatly reduce the friction of the horizontal movement of the switching clamp, and reduce the selection of the linear cylinder in the switching sliding table device. The vertically arranged needle roller cam guide can not only reduce the friction of the horizontal movement of the switching clamp, but also serve as a limiting function of the switching clamp in the transfer device.
[0049] As Figure 10 shown, the locking mechanism 2-4 is a standard purchased hand clamp, mainly installed in two positions. The first position is installed at the interface between the transfer device and the switching sliding table, mainly used to fix the relative position of the transfer device and the switching sliding table device. The second position is installed on the transfer device and the clamp, used to fix the clamp on the transfer device.
[0050] As Figure 6 shown, the transfer fork guard 2-5 is two guards made according to the distance between the transfer forklifts, which facilitates long-distance transfer.

[0053] The upper layer switching sliding table 3-2 is mainly composed of a sliding table frame 3-2-1, a sliding table conveying device 3-2-2, an upper layer rodless straight line cylinder 3-2-3, a first locking limiting cylinder 3-2-4, a second locking limiting cylinder 3-2-5, a first locking cylinder 3-2-6 and a second locking cylinder 3-2-7; the sliding table frame 3-2-1 is slidingly connected to the guide rail support 3-1-2 of the lower layer fixed sliding table 3-1, and is connected to the output end of the lower layer straight line rodless cylinder 3-1-3; a plurality of sliding table conveying devices 3-2-2 are arranged at intervals on the top of the sliding table frame 3-2-1 on both sides, and are used for conveying the transfer device 2, and the structure of the sliding table conveying device 3-2-2 is the same as that of the conveying mechanism 2-3; the upper layer rodless straight line cylinder 3-2-3 is fixed on the sliding table frame 3-2-1 and its driving direction is the same as that of the lower layer straight line rodless cylinder 3-1-3; the first locking cylinder 3-2-6 and the second locking cylinder 3-2-7 are respectively installed on both sides of the upper layer rodless straight line cylinder 3-2-3, the first locking cylinder 3-2-6 is used for inserting the first limiting stop 3-1-5 or the second limiting stop 3-1-6 of the lower layer fixed sliding table 3-1 to limit the upper layer switching sliding table 3-2; the second locking cylinder 3-2-7 is used for cooperating with the clamp to position; the first locking limiting cylinder 3-2-4 and the second locking limiting cylinder 3-2-5 are respectively fixed at the rear end and the front end outside the sliding table frame 3-2-1, and are used for locking and positioning the clamp.
[0054] The working principle of the switching sliding table device 3 is as follows:
[0055] The lower linear rodless cylinder 3-1-3 drives the whole upper layer switching slide 3-2 to extend, and sends out a signal after reaching the position to detect the switch, detects the upper layer slide to be in place, the first locking cylinder 3-2-6 extends and inserts into the second limiting 3-1-6 to form a limiting, locks the upper layer slide; reaches the upper piece position, feeds back a signal, and the artificial can push the transfer device 2 with the clamp to cooperate with the upper layer switching slide 3-2 and lock the locking mechanism 2-4, like Figure 10 Position 1; the locking mechanism of the clamp cooperating with the transfer device is opened, like Figure 10 Position 2. The operator presses the button after discharging, at which time the upper layer slide receives an instruction, the first locking cylinder 3-2-6 retracts, the linear rodless cylinder 3-2-3 of the upper layer switching slide extends, and sends out a signal after reaching the position to detect the switch, the second locking cylinder 3-2-7 extends and cooperates with the positioning hole in the switching clamp BASE plate, the first locking limiting cylinder 3-2-4 and the second locking limiting cylinder 3-2-5 extend to position the clamp.
