Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamping devices, and more specifically to a hydraulic mechanical claw for feeding. Background Art

[0002] Since the loading and unloading work of machine tools is highly repetitive, relying solely on manual labor to complete the loading process will result in low production efficiency and high labor intensity. Therefore, people improve work efficiency by developing industrial automation to replace simple manual labor. At present, loading is performed by combining machine tools and mechanical claws.

[0003] The existing patent with publication number CN114406782A is a public document of a hydraulic mechanical claw for loading. According to the shape of the loading part, the connecting plate and the clamping plate are adjusted to a suitable angle through the first drive structure and the second drive structure, so that other large-volume parts such as blocks can be loaded. However, in actual use, due to the clamping method of the two clamping plates and the flat ends of the clamping plates, when clamping parts with arc-shaped contact surfaces, the effective contact area is small and the clamping stability is poor. In view of this, we propose a hydraulic mechanical claw for loading. Utility Model Content

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Example:

[0030] See also Figure 1-4 ,This embodiment provides a hydraulic mechanical claw for feeding, referring to Figure 1 , including two racks 1, the racks 1 are used to mesh with the gears and the hydraulic motor, the bottoms of the two racks 1 are respectively provided with clamping assemblies, the hydraulic motor can drive the two clamping assemblies to move closer to each other or farther away from each other in forward and reverse rotation, the clamping assemblies include a connecting plate 2 and a clamping plate 3, the connecting plate 2 is used to connect the racks 1 and the clamping plate 3, the connecting plate 2 and the clamping plate 3 are detachably connected and the distance between the two clamping plates 3 can be adjusted;

[0031] Among them, the sliding of the rack 1 is achieved through the forward and reverse rotation of the hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor uses hydraulic pressure as the driving force, can output greater torque, and increase the clamping force between the clamping plates 3. When the racks 1 are away from each other to the maximum distance and still cannot clamp the parts, the connecting plate 2 and the clamping plate 3 can be loosened. At this time, the clamping plate 3 can slide horizontally to adjust the initial gap between the two clamping plates 3 to adapt to parts with larger volumes. The clamping plate 3 can be deformed to fit the surface of the part to increase the contact area. When clamping curved parts such as cylindrical parts, the end of the clamping plate 3 that contacts the part can be deformed to increase the effective contact area between the parts, thereby ensuring stable clamping of the parts.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the clamping plate 3 comprises a main body 31, referring to Figure 4 The main body 31 has a built-in accommodating cavity 37, and a slider 32 is slidably installed at one end of the accommodating cavity 37. There are multiple sliders 32. The slider 32 is used to contact the part, and after contacting the part, if the surface of the part is uneven, the slider 32 can be pressed and slid to adapt to the surface of the part to ensure multi-point contact, and a spring (not shown in the figure) is installed between the slider 32 and the end plate 33. After the slider 32 is squeezed, the spring will compress and accumulate force, which can ensure that the slider 32 is pressed against the additional surface to ensure the stability of the clamping. The other end of the accommodating cavity 37 is equipped with an end plate 33 that can move horizontally in the accommodating cavity 37. The end plate 33 moves to the right, which can squeeze the spring to the right, provide an initial compression force for the spring, and can increase the force that the spring can provide during clamping, thereby further improving the clamping stability.

[0033] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the spherical body 36 is built into the accommodating cavity 37, and three quarters of the total volume of the accommodating cavity 37 is filled with the spherical body 36. When the slider 32 is under pressure, because the spherical body 36 does not completely fill the accommodating cavity 37, a reserved gap is left between the spherical bodies 36. The slider 32 can move to the left to squeeze the spherical body 36, and the reserved gap between the spherical bodies 36 disappears. Because the spherical body 36 is made of hard material, after the gap disappears, a fixed whole is formed between the main body 31, the spherical body 36 and the slider 32. After the slider 32 slides to adapt to the contour of the part, it can provide a stable clamping force.

[0034] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 3 A push rod 34 is provided on the side of the end plate 33 away from the slider 32, and the push rod 34 is connected to the main body 31 through a screw hole. The push rod 34 can be rotated forward to squeeze the end plate 33 to the right, and the total volume of the accommodating cavity 37 can be reduced. The sliding distance of the slider 32 can be reduced to adapt to parts with relatively flat surfaces. Similarly, the push rod 34 can be reversed to pull the end plate 33 to the left. At this time, the total volume of the accommodating cavity 37 can be expanded, and the sliding distance of the slider 32 can be increased to adapt to parts with large surface changes. It is highly practical.

[0035] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 4 A groove 35 is provided in the middle of the slider 32, and the slider 32 is slidably connected to the main body 31 at the groove 35. To prevent detachment, the middle of the slider 32 is narrowed, and an opening is provided at the end of the main body 31 to tightly slide with the middle of the slider 32. When the slider 32 slides left and right, it will not fall off from the opening, thereby ensuring that the position of the slider 32 is stable when used.

[0036] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 2The connecting plate 2 includes an integrally arranged plate body 21 and a connecting frame 25. The clamping plate 3 is horizontally inserted into the gap between the plate body 21 and the connecting frame 25. A notch 22 is opened in the middle of the plate body 21. A clamping piece 23 is installed on the plate body 21 through a screw hole at the notch 22. The clamping piece 23 can be a screw. The notch 22 is set to facilitate the use of tools to rotate the clamping piece 23. At this time, by tightening the clamping piece 23, the bottom of the clamping piece 23 is pressed and contacted with the clamping plate 3. When it is necessary to adjust the left and right position of the clamping plate 3, the clamping piece 23 can be reversed to loosen the clamping plate 3. At this time, the left and right movement of the clamping plate 3 can be adjusted, and then the clamping piece 23 is rotated to lock the clamping plate 3 again, which is easy to operate.

[0037] In a further embodiment, a notch 22 is provided on the plate body 21 to reduce the deadweight of the plate body 21 and ensure that the rack 1 can be smoothly driven horizontally by the hydraulic motor.

[0038] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The plate body 21 and the connecting frame 25 are separately arranged. The connecting frame 25 is thin and has a right-angle bend. After long-term use, stress fatigue is prone to occur and it is easy to break at the right-angle bend. The connecting frame 25 is separately arranged and can be replaced separately. The maintenance is convenient and the maintenance cost is low. A clamping block 24 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the connecting frame 25. A clamping groove 26 cooperating with the clamping block 24 is opened on the side wall of the plate body 21. The clamping block 24 is inserted into the clamping groove 26 from top to bottom and is directly hung on the side of the plate body 21, so it can be quickly disassembled and assembled. When the clamping member 23 presses down the clamping plate 3, the connecting frame 25 and the clamping plate 3 can be pressed synchronously without shaking, and it is stable to use.

[0039] In a further embodiment, the block 24 adopts a dovetail head shape, and the block 24 is set as an inclined surface toward the side of the plate body 21, so that the bottom of the block 24 is narrower, the internal contour of the slot 26 is consistent with the block 24, and the depth exceeds the length of the block 24 in the up and down directions. When the block 24 is pressed downward, the block 24 can be tightly inserted in the slot 26, further improving the tightness of the combination between the block 24 and the plate body 21.

[0040] The hydraulic motor involved in the embodiment adopts an existing product produced by Shanghai Yongce Mechanical Equipment Co., Ltd., and its supporting control system, solenoid valve, and circuit pipeline can also be provided by the manufacturer. In addition, the power supply module, circuit and electronic components and control module involved in the utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art.
