Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation equipment clamps, in particular to an angle-adjustable clamp for automation equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a fixture refers to a device used to fix the object to be processed during the mechanical manufacturing process so that it occupies the correct position to accept construction or inspection. In a broad sense, any device used to quickly, conveniently and safely install the workpiece in any process can be called a fixture. Existing fixtures for automated equipment generally only clamp and fix the workpiece in one direction, and most of the workpieces can only be fixed and processed in one place during one process. When there are more than two surfaces on one side of the workpiece that need to be processed, the next process needs to process it again. This shows the importance of an angle-adjustable fixture, which can make the workpiece suitable for more processing methods in the same process.

[0003] However, in the above technical solution, since most of the fixtures in the prior art only have the function of clamping and cannot adjust the angle, there is still a problem that when the workpiece is processed, the fixture cannot freely adjust the angle and cannot meet various processing methods of the workpiece, which will cause the workpiece to need to be disassembled for secondary processing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the defect that the angle of the fixture cannot be adjusted in the prior art, and proposes an angle-adjustable fixture for automation equipment.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] Furthermore, when adjusting the lateral angle, first press the first handle, and the first handle drives the movable rod to move left, and the movement of the movable rod to the left will drive the first pulley to move left. When the connecting block on the right side of the first pulley is out of contact with the docking block, the motor is started to rotate to drive the first gear to rotate. After the first gear rotates, it will drive the second gear to rotate. The second gear rotation drives the straight rod to rotate, and then the straight rod rotation drives the second clamping block to rotate. After the second clamping block rotates, it will drive the positioning rod to rotate, and the thrust of the rotation of the positioning rod makes the ball rotate laterally. When the ball rotates, it will drive the limit rod to rotate, and the clamp is driven to rotate laterally through the limit rod, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the lateral angle of the clamp. When the lateral angle is adjusted After completion, the second handle is pushed to the left, and the slider is lifted by pushing the second handle, thereby driving the second gear to move upward, so that the second gear is out of contact with the first gear.

[0016] Furthermore, by providing a sliding groove on the top of the outer box, the auxiliary limiting rod can move stably when it is tilted, and the provision of the sliding groove is beneficial to the connection and movement of the limiting rod and the clamp.

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. When the angle of the fixture needs to be adjusted, first adjust the tilt angle. At this time, push the second handle to the left, and push the slider up by pushing the second handle, thereby driving the second gear to move upward, so that the second gear is disengaged from the first gear. When the second gear is disengaged from the first gear, when adjusting the tilt angle of the fixture, avoid the deviation of the angle adjustment caused by the inability to operate the horizontal angle and the vertical angle independently.

[0019] 2. When the first gear is out of contact with the second gear, the motor power is connected to start the motor to rotate forward or reverse, and the motor drives the docking block and the connecting block to rotate, thereby driving the support rod to rotate, and the first clamping block is driven to rotate by the support rod. The thrust of the rotation of the first clamping block pushes the limit rod to move, thereby driving the clamp to move forward or backward, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the tilt angle;

[0020] 3. When the tilt angle is adjusted to a suitable position, turn off the motor and press the first handle downward to drive the movable rod to move to the left through the first handle, thereby driving the second pulley to move to the left so that the connecting block is out of contact with the docking block. When the first handle is pressed to the bottom, push the second handle to the right to make the slider fall, thereby driving the second gear to fall and contact the first gear. At this time, start the motor and drive the second gear to rotate through the first gear, so that the positioning rod drives the rolling ball to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the lateral angle of the fixture.

[0021] In the utility model: by setting the first handle and the second handle, the transmission mechanism can be separated from or contacted with the adjustment mechanism, so as to achieve the purpose of independently adjusting the lateral angle and the longitudinal angle of the adjustment mechanism, avoiding the deviation of angle adjustment caused by being connected to the same power source and unable to adjust independently.

When the connecting block 21 is combined with the docking block 22, the motor 2 is started to drive the first pulley 15 to rotate, so that the second pulley 20 drives the connecting block 21 and the docking block 22 to rotate.
