[0042] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the utility model provides a clamp 100 for a sand core coring robot, and the clamp 100 specifically includes a frame 10, a length adjustment structure and a flipping structure, wherein the frame 10 includes two cross beams 11 and a connecting plate 12 connected between the two cross beams 11; a clamping disc 15 is arranged on the connecting plate 12; a first clamping part 13 and a second clamping part 14 are respectively arranged at both ends of the cross beam 11; a length adjustment mechanism 20 is arranged on the cross beam 11 and connected to the first clamping part 13, suitable for adjusting the relative length between the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 14 to clamp the sand core; a flipping mechanism 30 is arranged on the cross beam 11 and connected to the second clamping part 14, suitable for driving the sand core to flip through the second clamping part 14.

[0043] The clamp 100 provided by the utility model is provided with a frame 10 including a double crossbeam 11, so that double-station coring can be achieved, which can meet the requirements of synchronous core making of the upper cover and the chassis sand core, thereby reducing the number of clamps 100 and the number of clamping times, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. At the same time, the end clamping of the sand core is achieved by the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 14 provided at both ends of the crossbeam 11, and there is no structure above the clamping position, and the risk of interference with the sand core mold is extremely low, so it is easy to arrange the sand core. In addition, by providing a length adjustment mechanism 20 and a flipping mechanism 30 connected to the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 14 on the crossbeam 11, not only the clamping stroke is adjustable, thus having good applicability, but also flipping control can be achieved.

[0044] Specifically, the crossbeam 11 is a square tube structure with a rectangular cross section, the connecting plate 12 is plate-shaped, and the two ends are respectively connected to the two crossbeams 11 by threaded fasteners to make the frame 10 in an I-shaped configuration. The clamping disc 15 is arranged on the connecting plate 12, and is used to connect with the male disc arranged on the robot, so as to realize the connection between the robot and the fixture 100.

[0045] In one embodiment of the utility model, the first clamping portion 13 and the second clamping portion 14 both include a side wall portion 131, a rotating shaft 132 and a clamping plate 133, the side wall portion 131 is connected to the beam 11; the rotating shaft 132 is installed on the side wall portion 131, and the central axis of the rotating shaft 132 is arranged along the length direction of the beam 11; the clamping plate 133 is connected to the rotating shaft 132, and the clamping plate 133 of the first clamping portion 13 and the clamping plate 133 of the second clamping portion 14 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the side wall portion 131.

The rotating shaft 132 is installed in the side wall portion 131 through bearings and bearing seats with the axis parallel to the length direction of the beam 11. The clamping plate 133 is connected to the rotating shaft 132 and is specifically arranged on the side surfaces of the side wall portions 131 opposite to each other. In this way, the first clamping portion 13 and the second clamping portion 14 can move toward each other under the action of the length adjustment structure, thereby clamping the two ends of the sand core through the clamping plate 133. At the same time, due to the setting of the rotating shaft 132, the sand core can be flipped under the action of the flipping mechanism 30.

[0047] In one embodiment of the utility model, the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 14 further include a positioning block 134 and a leveling structure 135 connected to the clamping plate 133. In this way, the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 14 are positioned with the sand core by the positioning block 134, so that the sand core is positioned and turned during clamping, and the sand core is leveled by the leveling structure 135, and the leveling structure 135 cooperates with the positioning block 134 to ensure the stability of the sand core after flipping.

[0048] Optionally, a stopper adapted to the clamping plate 133 is further provided on the side wall, and the stopper can be used to keep the sand core flipped into place and the sand core clamped at the left and right workstations at the same horizontal position.

[0049] In one embodiment of the utility model, the length adjustment mechanism 20 includes a piston cylinder 21, the piston cylinder 21 is installed on the cross beam 11, and the piston rod 22 of the piston cylinder 21 is arranged along the length direction of the cross beam 11, and the piston rod 22 is connected to the first clamping part 13. In this way, the clamping control and clamping length control of the first clamping part 13 and the second clamping part 14 can be realized.

[0050] Specifically, the piston cylinder 21 is disposed in the cavity of the square tube structure of the beam 11, and the piston rod 22 is connected to the side wall portion 131 of the first clamping portion 13, suitable for driving the first clamping portion 13 to move along the length direction of the beam 11, thereby achieving adjustable length.

In this way, the rotation drive of the driving motor 31 can be transmitted to the rotating shaft 132 of the second clamping part 14 through the driving sprocket 32, the transmission chain 34 and the driven sprocket 33 in sequence, thereby driving the sand core to flip through the rotation of the rotating shaft 132.

[0055] The output shaft of the driving motor 31 can be arranged parallel to the length direction of the cross beam 11, so that the central axis of the driving sprocket 32 ​​can be directly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 31. In this embodiment, a connecting plate 12 is further provided between the side portions of the two second clamping portions 14, and the central axis of the driving sprocket 32 ​​is installed on the connecting plate 12 through a bearing and a bearing seat in a manner that the central axis is parallel to the cross beam 11.

[0056] In one embodiment of the utility model, there are two driving sprockets 32 and two driven sprockets 33, which are respectively arranged on the rotating shafts 132 of the two second clamping parts 14. In this way, the rotating shafts 132 on the two beams 11 can be driven to rotate by one driving motor 31 at the same time, that is, the same driving motor 31 can drive the two sand cores to flip at the same time.
