Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of handling metal components of thin-film tanks, and particularly to a steel plate transfer device and method. Background Art

[0002] During the manufacturing process of thin-film tanks, large-sized components such as steel plates, grooved steel plates, and insulation modules need to be frequently handled and positioned during prefabrication and on-site assembly. The prior art usually operates by manual handling. Operators mostly lift or move by holding the edge of the steel plate or a simple handle set on the component. However, due to the large size and heavy weight of the steel plate itself, the steel plate is likely to tilt or even slip during manual handling due to reasons such as center-of-gravity deviation and uneven stress. Not only is the operation efficiency low, but also in a complex environment where the edge of the component is sharp, the working space is narrow, or it is close to other components, there are potential safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing, threatening the operation safety of the operator. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to improve the defects that metal components such as steel plates are prone to tilt and slip during manual handling, have low operation efficiency, and have potential safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing during the manufacturing process of existing thin-film tanks, this application provides a steel plate transfer device and method.

[0004] The steel plate transfer device and method provided by this application adopt the following technical solutions: A steel plate transfer device includes a device body, a handle mechanism connected to the upper side of the device body, a lower clamping mechanism connected to the lower side of the device body, and a clamping and locking mechanism inserted into the device body. The clamping and locking mechanism includes a rotating transmission gear inserted into the device body and rotatably connected to the device body, a clamping transmission assembly located on one side of the rotating transmission gear and meshing with the rotating transmission gear, a movable clamping assembly located on the other side of the rotating transmission gear and meshing with the rotating transmission gear, and a clamping and locking assembly movably inserted into the handle mechanism and inserted and cooperated with the movable clamping assembly. The upper end of the clamping transmission assembly is movably inserted into the handle mechanism, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator holds the handle mechanism and pushes the clamping transmission component upward, the clamping transmission component moves upward in the vertical direction under the guiding action of the handle mechanism. The clamping transmission component drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate. While the rotating transmission gear rotates, it drives the movable clamping component to move downward. The lower end of the movable clamping component cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate inserted between the movable clamping component and the lower clamping mechanism. The linkage structure of the present application converts the upward thrust at the upper end into a clamping action at the lower end, forming a stable mechanical transmission path, realizing the force amplification and direction conversion of the clamping operation. The structure of the present application is compact, the operation is convenient, the clamping response is fast, it is applicable to steel plates of different specifications, and reduces the potential safety hazards of personal injuries such as pinching and squeezing caused by the easy tilting and slipping of metal components such as steel plates during manual handling in the manufacturing process of the thin film tank.

[0006] Preferably, the handle mechanism is provided with a clamping guiding chute opening towards the device body; the clamping transmission component includes a holding and clamping part movably inserted into the clamping guiding chute, and a clamping driving rack connected to the holding and clamping part and movably inserted into the device body. The clamping driving rack is engaged and matched with the rotating transmission gear.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping guiding chute is used to define the movement path of the clamping transmission component. When the operator pushes the holding and clamping part upward along the clamping guiding chute, the clamping driving rack moves upward synchronously, driving the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the positive direction. The rotating transmission gear then drives the movable clamping component to move downward, realizing the clamping action on the steel plate. The present application ensures the linear and stable transmission of the clamping action through the clamping guiding chute, avoiding the shaking or deviation of the clamping transmission component, and realizing the mechanical force conversion between the manual operation and the clamping action by using the meshing relationship between the clamping driving rack and the rotating transmission gear. The transmission of the present application is accurate, the clamping is stable, the operation is smooth, and the structure is compact.

[0008] Preferably, the handle mechanism is provided with a handle through-hole communicating with the clamping guiding chute, and the holding and clamping part is provided with a holding through-hole corresponding to and communicating with the handle through-hole.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator passes the finger through the handle through-hole and inserts it into the holding through-hole, the operator can directly grasp the handle mechanism and the holding and clamping part. By manually pulling the holding and clamping part, the holding and clamping part linearly moves along the clamping guiding chute, driving the clamping driving rack connected to the holding and clamping part to move upward. The clamping driving rack is engaged with the rotating transmission gear, and then drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate to realize the clamping linkage. By setting the handle through-hole and the holding through-hole, the operator can accurately control the clamping action in a closed or narrow space, ensuring both the safety and convenience of the operation and improving the stability and response efficiency of the clamping action.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping and locking mechanism further includes a pressing and resetting assembly inserted into the clamping guiding chute. The pressing and resetting assembly is located between the handle mechanism and the holding and clamping component, and is used to press the holding and clamping component and keep the clamping transmission component moving in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressing and resetting assembly is used to apply a continuous reverse pressing force to the holding and clamping component after the operator releases the operating force, so as to keep the clamping transmission component moving in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism. When the operator releases the pushing force on the holding and clamping component, the pressing and resetting assembly makes the holding and clamping component automatically return to its original position through the action of elastic force, thereby driving the clamping drive rack to move downward, making the rotating transmission gear rotate in the reverse direction, and further moving the movable clamping component upward to release the clamping state. This application can achieve the automatic reset of the clamping mechanism without an additional driving device, ensuring that the device can return to the initial state to be clamped after each use, preventing the clamping component from staying in the clamping position and affecting subsequent use, and improving the operation coherence and operation safety.

[0012] Preferably, the movable clamping component includes a clamping lower pressing rack movably inserted into the interior of the device body, and an upper clamping plate connected to the lower end of the clamping lower pressing rack. The upper clamping plate cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism correspondingly to clamp the steel plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission component upward through the handle mechanism, the holding and clamping component drives the clamping drive rack to move upward, making the rotating transmission gear rotate in the forward direction and driving the clamping lower pressing rack to move downward, so that the upper clamping plate moves downward synchronously and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate. This application uses a rotating gear as an intermediate transmission member to convert the linear motion of the clamping transmission component into the linkage pressing of the clamping lower pressing rack, realizing the vertical clamping action of the steel plate, and at the same time ensuring that the clamping force is evenly distributed along the thickness direction of the steel plate, avoiding bias pressing or clamping deviation, improving the clamping efficiency, the structural response speed and the controllability of the clamping force, and being applicable to the stable handling and positioning of different steel plates.

[0014] Preferably, the lower clamping mechanism includes a clamping support rod assembly connected to the bottom of the device body, and a lower clamping plate connected to the lower end of the clamping support rod assembly and cooperating with the upper clamping plate correspondingly; the clamping support rod assembly is movably inserted into the upper clamping plate, the upper clamping plate is located above the lower clamping plate, and the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate cooperate correspondingly to clamp the steel plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward to drive the clamping drive rack upward, and moves the clamping pressure rack downward by rotating the transmission gear, the clamping pressure rack drives the upper clamping plate to move downward in linkage, and forms a clamping fit with the lower clamping plate to clamp the steel plate between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate. The clamping support rod assembly plays a role of limiting, guiding and anti-deformation support during the clamping process, ensuring that the upper clamping plate maintains a stable clamping path and clamping angle under stress to avoid deviation or crooked clamping. The structure of the present application completes the effective clamping of the steel plate through the opposing actions of the upper and lower clamping plates. Not only is the clamping force evenly distributed and the structural fit compact, but the operating stability is also high.

[0016] Preferably, the device body is provided with a driving rack slot for movable insertion of the clamping driving rack and a pressing rack slot for movable insertion of the clamping pressing rack, and the rotating transmission gear is located between the driving rack slot and the pressing rack slot.

[0017] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward, the clamping driving rack moves upward along the driving rack slot, and the rotating transmission gear drives the clamping pressing rack to move downward along the pressing rack slot, thereby realizing the clamping action. The present application limits the movement path of the clamping driving rack by the driving rack slot, and limits the movement path of the clamping pressing rack by the pressing rack slot, thereby ensuring that the clamping driving rack and the clamping pressing rack move smoothly in a straight line within the device body, and at the same time, the rotating transmission gear is arranged between the driving rack slot and the pressing rack slot to form an upper and lower bidirectional meshing transmission mechanism, which not only improves the transmission symmetry and torque transmission efficiency, but also effectively reduces the risk of structural interference and rack jamming.

[0018] Preferably, the gripping and clamping component is provided with a limit adjustment rack arranged along the length direction of the clamping drive rack; The clamping locking assembly includes a toggle limit component movably inserted in the device body and hinged to the device body, and a locking elastic reset component inserted in the device body and used to press the toggle limit component. The locking elastic reset component is used to press the toggle limit component so that the end of the toggle limit component maintains a tendency to move along the direction of insertion into the limit adjustment rack.

[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, the limit adjustment rack is used to form a plurality of pluggable positioning tooth positions. During the clamping operation, when the operator pushes the gripping clamping component to drive the clamping drive rack to move axially to the target clamping position, the locking elastic reset member presses the toggle limit component so that the end of the toggle limit component is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack to achieve positioning locking, thereby limiting the rebound or loosening of the gripping clamping component and ensuring that the clamping state is stably maintained. The present application provides multi-stage locking positions through the limit adjustment rack, and combines the hinged action of the toggle limit component to achieve precise positioning and manual release control, thereby improving the adjustability and anti-loosening ability of the clamping position to be suitable for steel plates of different thicknesses.

[0020] Preferably, the handle mechanism is provided with a locking through hole, a toggle opening provided on the upper side of the handle mechanism and located at one end of the locking through hole, and a locking opening provided in a direction facing the gripping clamping component and located at the other end of the locking through hole, and the locking opening is communicated with the clamping guide slot; The toggle limit component includes a toggle member body inserted in the locking through hole and hinged to the handle mechanism, a toggle protrusion connected to the upper end of the toggle member body and extending from the toggle opening, and a locking protrusion connected to the lower end of the toggle member body and extending from the locking opening, wherein the locking protrusion is used to be plugged into and cooperated with the limit adjustment rack.

[0021] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, when the clamping action is completed and the clamping component is held to drive the clamping drive rack to move to the target position, the locking elastic reset component pushes the toggle member body, so that the locking cam is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack to complete the position locking. The operator presses down the toggle cam to make the toggle member body rotate around the hinge point between the toggle member body and the handle mechanism, thereby driving the locking cam to disengage from the limit adjustment rack, thereby realizing the rapid unlocking and resetting of the clamping position. The present application effectively connects the internal locking component with the external operating interface through the mechanical coupling of the locking through hole and the toggle limit component, thereby improving the reliability of the locking action and the convenience of unlocking, and is suitable for working scenarios with high-frequency adjustment operations.

[0022] A steel plate transfer method, comprising the steel plate transfer device, further comprising the following steps: S1: inserting the side edge of the steel plate between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism; S2: Pressing the clamping transmission assembly in a direction away from the lower clamping mechanism; S3: the clamping transmission assembly moves upward and drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the forward direction; S4: the rotating transmission gear rotates and drives the movable clamping assembly to move downward, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate; S5: Insert the clamping and locking assembly into the clamping transmission assembly to limit the relative movement between the clamping transmission assembly and the handle mechanism, and lock the positions of the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, first insert the side edge of the steel plate into the clamping area between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism located inside the device body, so that the steel plate is positioned between the upper and lower clamping structures. Subsequently, the operator presses the clamping transmission assembly arranged in the handle mechanism in the direction away from the lower clamping mechanism. The clamping transmission assembly moves upward along the vertical direction. The clamping transmission assembly drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the positive direction. The rotating transmission gear drives the other side-engaged movable clamping assembly to move downward, so that the lower end of the movable clamping assembly presses downward and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to achieve stable clamping of the steel plate. After the clamping action is completed, insert the clamping and locking assembly into the clamping transmission assembly to lock the relative position between the clamping transmission assembly and the handle mechanism, and further fix the clamping state of the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism. This application combines rotating gear transmission, rack-guided clamping and mechanical self-locking structure, and can realize the clamping, positioning and safety locking of the steel plate through simple manual operation. It not only improves the smoothness of the clamping response, the coherence of the operation process, and the reliability of the clamping force, but also adapts to various plate sizes and improves safety.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. A steel plate transfer device. When the operator holds the handle mechanism and pushes the clamping transmission assembly upward, the clamping transmission assembly moves upward along the vertical direction under the guiding action of the handle mechanism. The clamping transmission assembly drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate. While the rotating transmission gear rotates, it drives the movable clamping assembly to move downward. The lower end of the movable clamping assembly cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to clamp the steel plate inserted between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism. The linkage structure of this application converts the upward thrust at the upper end into a downward clamping action, forming a stable mechanical transmission path, realizing the force amplification and direction conversion of the clamping operation. This application has a compact structure, convenient operation, fast clamping response, and is applicable to steel plates of different specifications, reducing the potential safety hazards such as easy tilting and slipping of metal components such as steel plates during manual handling in the manufacturing process of thin-film tanks, resulting in personal injuries such as pinching and squeezing. 2. A steel plate transfer device. After the clamping action is completed and the clamping component is held to drive the clamping drive rack to move to the target position, the locking elastic reset member pushes the main body of the toggling member, so that the locking convex edge is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack to complete the position locking. The operator presses down the toggling convex edge, and the main body of the toggling member rotates around the hinge point between the main body of the toggling member and the handle mechanism, thereby driving the locking convex edge to disengage from the limit adjustment rack, realizing the quick unlocking and resetting of the clamping position. In this application, the internal locking component and the external operation interface are effectively connected through the mechanical coupling method of the locking through hole and the toggling limit component, improving the reliability of the locking action and the convenience of unlocking, and being applicable to the working scenarios with high-frequency adjustment operations; 3. A steel plate transfer method. First, insert the side edge of the steel plate into the clamping area between the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism located inside the device body, so that the steel plate is positioned between the upper and lower clamping structures. Subsequently, the operator presses the clamping transmission assembly arranged in the handle mechanism in the direction away from the lower clamping mechanism. The clamping transmission assembly moves upward in the vertical direction, and the clamping transmission assembly drives the rotating transmission gear to rotate in the positive direction. The rotating transmission gear drives the other engaged movable clamping assembly to move downward, so that the lower end of the movable clamping assembly presses down and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism to realize the stable clamping of the steel plate. After the clamping action is completed, insert the clamping locking assembly into the clamping transmission assembly to lock the relative position between the clamping transmission assembly and the handle mechanism, thereby fixing the clamping state of the movable clamping assembly and the lower clamping mechanism. This application combines rotating gear transmission, rack-guided clamping and mechanical self-locking structure, and can realize the clamping, positioning and safety locking of the steel plate through simple manual operation, not only improving the smoothness of the clamping response, the coherence of the operation process, and the reliability of the clamping force, but also adapting to various plate sizes and improving the safety.

[0030] The following is further described in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1 to 4 drawings of the present application.

[0031] An embodiment of the present application discloses a steel plate transfer device and method. Refer to Figure 1 FIG. 1, a steel plate transfer device includes a device body 1, a handle mechanism 2 connected to the upper side of the device body 1, a lower clamping mechanism 3 connected to the lower side of the device body 1, and a clamping and locking mechanism 4 inserted into the device body 1; The clamping and locking mechanism 4 includes a rotating transmission gear 41 inserted into the device body 1 and rotatably connected to the device body 1, a clamping transmission assembly 42 located on one side of the rotating transmission gear 41 and meshing with the rotating transmission gear 41, a movable clamping assembly 43 located on the other side of the rotating transmission gear 41 and meshing with the rotating transmission gear 41, and a clamping and locking assembly 44 movably inserted into the handle mechanism 2 and inserted and matched with the movable clamping assembly 43; The upper end of the clamping transmission assembly 42 is movably inserted into the handle mechanism 2, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate.

[0032] In the present application, when the operator holds the handle mechanism 2 and pushes the clamping transmission assembly 42 upward, the clamping transmission assembly 42 moves up in the vertical direction under the guidance of the handle mechanism 2, and the clamping transmission assembly 42 drives the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate. While the rotating transmission gear 41 rotates, it drives the movable clamping assembly 43 to move downward, and the lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate inserted between the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3. The linkage structure of the present application converts the thrust of the upper end into the clamping action of the lower end, forming a stable mechanical transmission path, realizing the force amplification and direction conversion of the clamping operation. The present application has a compact structure, convenient operation, fast clamping response, and is suitable for steel plates of different specifications. It reduces the risk of metal components such as steel plates being easily tilted and slipped during manual handling during the manufacturing process of film tanks, resulting in personal safety hazards such as pinching and squeezing.

[0033] When clamping the channel steel of the grooved steel plate, the lower clamping mechanism 3 is inserted into the groove structure of the grooved steel plate from the end of the grooved steel plate, and the end side edge of the grooved steel plate is inserted between the movable clamping assembly 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3; when the rotating transmission gear 41 drives the movable clamping assembly 43 to move downward, the lower end of the movable clamping assembly 43 cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the end of the grooved steel plate.

[0034] And when the operator pulls up the clamping transmission component 42, the push-pull action is converted into a downward pressing action of the movable clamping component 43 by rotating the transmission gear 41, so that the movable clamping component 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3 form a clamping fit on the steel plate, and cooperate with the clamping locking component 44 for reverse support under the action of the steel plate's own weight, which can further improve the stability of the clamping structure and prevent the clamping components from slipping due to the weight of the steel plate; multiple steel plate transfer devices are used in combination to perform smooth transfer operations on steel plates or insulation modules.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the handle mechanism 2 is provided with a clamping guide slot 21 which is open in the direction facing the device body 1; the clamping transmission assembly 42 includes a gripping clamping component 421 movably inserted in the clamping guide slot 21, and a clamping drive rack 422 connected to the gripping clamping component 421 and movably inserted in the device body 1, and the clamping drive rack 422 is meshed with the rotating transmission gear 41.

[0036] The clamping guiding chute 21 of the present application is used to define the movement path of the clamping transmission assembly 42. When the operator pushes the holding and clamping member 421 upward along the clamping guiding chute 21, the clamping driving rack 422 moves upward synchronously, driving the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the positive direction. The rotating transmission gear 41 then drives the movable clamping assembly 43 to move downward to achieve the clamping action on the steel plate. The present application ensures the linear and stable transmission of the clamping action through the clamping guiding chute 21, avoiding the shaking or deviation of the clamping transmission assembly 42, and realizing the mechanical force conversion between the manual operation and the clamping action by using the meshing relationship between the clamping driving rack 422 and the rotating transmission gear 41. The transmission of the present application is accurate, the clamping is stable, the operation is smooth, and the structure is compact.

[0037] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, a handle through hole 22 communicating with the clamping guiding chute 21 is provided on the handle mechanism 2, and a holding through hole 423 corresponding to and communicating with the handle through hole 22 is provided on the holding and clamping member 421.

[0038] The corresponding setting of the handle through hole 22 and the holding through hole 423 of the present application is for the operator's palm to be inserted to hold the handle mechanism 2 and the holding and clamping member 421; when the operator passes the finger through the handle through hole 22 and inserts it into the holding through hole 423, the handle mechanism 2 and the holding and clamping member 421 can be directly grasped. By manually pulling the holding and clamping member 421, the holding and clamping member 421 linearly moves along the clamping guiding chute 21, driving the clamping driving rack 422 connected to the holding and clamping member 421 to move upward. The clamping driving rack 422 meshes with the rotating transmission gear 41, and then drives the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate to achieve the clamping linkage. By providing the handle through hole 22 and the holding through hole 423, the operator can accurately control the clamping action in a closed or narrow space, ensuring both the safety and convenience of the operation and improving the stability and response efficiency of the clamping action.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the clamping locking mechanism 4 further includes a pressing and resetting assembly 45 inserted into the clamping guiding chute 21. The pressing and resetting assembly 45 is located between the handle mechanism 2 and the holding and clamping member 421, and the pressing and resetting assembly 45 is used to press the holding and clamping member 421 and keep the clamping transmission assembly 42 moving in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism 3.

[0040] The top pressure reset component 45 of the present application is used to apply a continuous reverse top pressure to the holding and clamping component 421 after the operator releases the operating force, so that the clamping transmission component 42 maintains a tendency to move in the direction close to the lower clamping mechanism 3. When the operator releases the push on the holding and clamping component 421, the top pressure reset component 45 causes the holding and clamping component 421 to automatically return to its original position through the action of elastic force, thereby driving the clamping drive rack 422 to move downward, causing the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the reverse direction, and further causing the movable clamping component 43 to move upward to release the clamping state. The present application can achieve automatic reset of the clamping mechanism without an additional driving device, ensuring that the device can return to the initial state to be clamped after each use, preventing the clamping component from staying in the clamping position and affecting subsequent use, and improving the operation continuity and operation safety.

[0041] The top pressure reset component 45 is preferably a spring.

[0042] More specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the movable clamping component 43 includes a clamping lower pressure rack 431 movably inserted into the device body 1, and an upper clamping plate 432 connected to the lower end of the clamping lower pressure rack 431. The upper clamping plate 432 corresponds to and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 for clamping the steel plate.

[0043] In the present application, when the operator pushes the clamping transmission component 42 upward through the handle mechanism 2, the holding and clamping component 421 drives the clamping drive rack 422 to move upward, causing the rotating transmission gear 41 to rotate in the positive direction and driving the clamping lower pressure rack 431 to move downward, so that the upper clamping plate 432 moves downward synchronously and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the steel plate. The present application uses the rotating transmission gear 41 as an intermediate transmission member to convert the linear motion of the clamping transmission component 42 into the linkage pressing of the clamping lower pressure rack 431, realizing the vertical clamping action of the steel plate, and at the same time ensuring that the clamping force is evenly distributed along the thickness direction of the steel plate, avoiding bias pressure or uneven clamping, improving the clamping efficiency, structural response speed and controllability of the clamping force, and being applicable to the stable handling and positioning of different steel plates.

[0044] In addition, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the lower clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping support rod assembly 31 connected to the bottom of the device body 1, and a lower clamping plate 32 connected to the lower end of the clamping support rod assembly 31 and corresponding to and cooperating with the upper clamping plate 432; the clamping support rod assembly 31 is movably inserted into the upper clamping plate 432, the upper clamping plate 432 is located above the lower clamping plate 32, and the upper clamping plate 432 and the lower clamping plate 32 correspond to and cooperate with each other for clamping the steel plate.

[0045] During the clamping operation of the present application, when the operator pushes the clamping drive assembly 42 upward to drive the clamping drive rack 422 upward and rotates the drive gear 41 to drive the clamping downward rack 431 downward, the clamping downward rack 431 drives the upper clamping plate 432 to move downward in linkage and form a clamping fit with the lower clamping plate 32, clamping the steel plate located between the upper clamping plate 432 and the lower clamping plate 32. The clamping support rod assembly 31 plays a role of limiting, guiding and anti-deformation support during the clamping process, ensuring that the upper clamping plate 432 maintains a stable pressing path and clamping angle under the force state, avoiding deviation or skew. The structure of the present application completes the effective clamping of the steel plate through the opposite movement of the upper and lower clamping plates, not only with uniform clamping force distribution, compact structural cooperation, but also high operation stability.

[0046] And, as Figure 2 shown, a drive rack chute 11 for the clamping drive rack 422 to be movably inserted is provided on the device body 1, and a downward rack chute 12 for the clamping downward rack 431 to be movably inserted is provided, and the rotating drive gear 41 is located between the drive rack chute 11 and the downward rack chute 12.

[0047] When the operator pushes the clamping drive assembly 42 upward in the present application, the clamping drive rack 422 moves upward along the drive rack chute 11, and the rotating drive gear 41 drives the clamping downward rack 431 to move downward along the downward rack chute 12, thereby realizing the clamping action. The present application restricts the movement path of the clamping drive rack 422 through the drive rack chute 11 and restricts the movement path of the clamping downward rack 431 through the downward rack chute 12, ensuring the smooth linear movement of the clamping drive rack 422 and the clamping downward rack 431 in the device body 1. At the same time, the rotating drive gear 41 is arranged between the drive rack chute 11 and the downward rack chute 12 to form an up-and-down two-way meshing transmission mechanism, which not only improves the symmetry of the transmission and the torque transmission efficiency, but also effectively reduces the risk of structural interference and rack jamming.

[0048] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, a limit adjustment rack 424 is provided on the holding clamping member 421 along the length direction of the clamping drive rack 422; The clamping locking assembly 44 includes a toggle limit member 441 movably inserted into the device body 1 and hinged to the device body 1, and a locking elastic reset member 442 inserted into the device body 1 and used to press the toggle limit member 441. The locking elastic reset member 442 is used to press the toggle limit member 441 so that the end of the toggle limit member 441 maintains a tendency to move along the direction of inserting into the limit adjustment rack 424.

[0049] The limit adjustment rack 424 of the present application is used to form a plurality of pluggable positioning tooth positions. During the clamping operation, when the operator pushes the holding clamping component 421 to drive the clamping drive rack 422 to move axially to the target clamping position, the locking elastic reset member 442 presses the toggle limit component 441, so that the end of the toggle limit component 441 is inserted into the tooth groove of the limit adjustment rack 424 to achieve positioning locking, thereby limiting the rebound or loosening of the holding clamping component 421, ensuring that the clamping state is stably maintained.

After the clamping action is completed, insert the clamping locking component 44 into the clamping transmission component 42 to lock the relative position between the clamping transmission component 42 and the handle mechanism 2, thereby fixing the clamping state of the movable clamping component 43 and the lower clamping mechanism 3.
