DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams that only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a clamping device for processing cooling pipes of a liquid cooling system includes a workbench 100, a rotating column 200, a lifting platform 300, a rotating assembly 400, a lifting assembly 500, a clamping assembly 600 and a controller 700. The bottom of the rotating column 200 is inserted into a column groove 110 opened in the center of the workbench 100 and rotates with the column groove 110. The rotating assembly 400 is arranged in the workbench 100, and its driving end is connected to the bottom end of the rotating column 200. The lifting platform 300 is arranged directly above the rotating column 200. The lifting assembly 500 is arranged in the rotating column 200, and its top end is connected to the bottom end of the lifting platform 300. The clamping assembly 600 is arranged at the top of the lifting platform 300. The controller 700 is installed at the right end of the workbench 100, and controls the rotating assembly 400, the lifting assembly 500 and the clamping assembly 600 respectively. By coordinating the rotating assembly 400 and the lifting assembly 500, the rotating column 200 can achieve angle rotation, and the lifting platform 300 can achieve height lifting, integrating the height lifting and angle adjustment functions, and improving the versatility and practicality. At the same time, the controller 700 controls the rotating assembly 400, the lifting assembly 500 and the clamping assembly 600 respectively, thereby improving the automation of the entire device.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotating assembly 400 includes a ring gear 410, a gear 420, a first transmission shaft 430 and a rotating motor 440. The ring gear 410 is arranged in the annular cavity 120 provided in the workbench 100 and is mounted on the bottom end of the rotating column 200. The gear 420 is arranged in the blind hole 130 provided in the workbench 100 and meshes with the ring gear 410. The blind hole 130 is connected with the column groove 110 through the annular cavity 120. The rotating motor 440 is installed at the left end of the workbench 100, and its output end is connected with the gear 420 through the first transmission shaft 430. Specifically, the controller 700 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 440. When the angle of the clamping assembly 600 needs to be adjusted, the rotating motor 440 drives the gear 420 to rotate through the first transmission shaft 430. Due to the meshing of the gear 420 and the ring gear 410, the rotating column 200 is synchronously driven to rotate, thereby achieving the angle adjustment of the clamping assembly 600.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting assembly 500 includes a screw 510, a steel sleeve 520 and a drive group 530. There are two screws 510, which are rotatably installed in the rod groove 210 opened at the top of the rotating column 200. The steel sleeve 520 is threadedly sleeved on the upper part of the screw 510, and its top end extends out of the rod groove 210 and is connected to the bottom end of the lifting platform 300. The outer wall of the steel sleeve 520 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rod groove 210. The drive group 530 is arranged in the rotating column 200 and is transmission-connected to the lower part of the screw 510. When the height of the clamping assembly 600 needs to be adjusted, the drive group 530 drives the two screws 510 to rotate synchronously, and the rotation of the screw 510 is converted into the linear motion of the steel sleeve 520, which in turn drives the lifting platform 300 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the clamping assembly 600.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving group 530 includes a slave bevel gear 531, a synchronous member 532, a main bevel gear 533, a second transmission shaft 534 and a lifting motor 535. The slave bevel gear 531 is arranged in the rod groove 210 and is sleeved on the lower part of the screw 510. The main bevel gear 533 is arranged in an inner cavity 220 opened in the middle part of the rotating column 200. The main bevel gear 533 is connected to the slave bevel gear 531 through the synchronous member 532. The lifting motor 535 is installed on the front side of the rotating column 200, and its output end is connected to the main bevel gear 533 through the second transmission shaft 534. Specifically, the synchronous member 532 includes a synchronous shaft 5321 and a synchronous bevel gear 5322. The synchronous shaft 5321 is rotatably mounted in the shaft hole 230 opened in the middle of the rotating column 200. The synchronous bevel gears 5322 are respectively mounted at both ends of the synchronous shaft 5321, and one of the synchronous bevel gears 5322 is meshed with the main bevel gear 533, and the other synchronous bevel gear 5322 is meshed with the slave bevel gear 531. The controller 700 is electrically connected to the lifting motor 535. Through the setting of the driving group 530, one lifting motor 535 can drive the two screws 510 to rotate synchronously, ensuring synchronization while achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, the clamping assembly 600 includes a fixed plate 610, a rotating head 620, an airbag 630, a rotating joint 640, a transmission group 650 and a rotating motor 660. There are two fixed plates 610, which are installed at the top of the lifting platform 300 along the lateral interval. There are two rotating heads 620, which are relatively arranged between the two fixed plates 610. The outer end of the rotating head 620 is inserted into a through hole 611 opened in the middle of the fixed plate 610 and rotates with the through hole 611. The airbag 630 is sleeved on the inner end of the rotating head 620. An axial air channel 621 and a plurality of radial air channels 622 are opened in the rotating head 620. The axial air channel 621 is connected to the airbag 630 through the plurality of radial air channels 622. The rotating joint 640 is rotatably installed at the outer end of the rotating head 620 and is connected to the axial air channel 621. The rotating motor 660 is installed at the right end of the lifting platform 300, and its output end is transmission-connected to the rotating head 620 on the right through the transmission group 650. Specifically, the rotating head 620 is T-shaped; the rotating joint 640 is connected to the air source (not shown in the figure); the transmission group 650 includes a main pulley 651, a secondary pulley 652 and a belt 653, the main pulley 651 is installed at the output end of the rotating motor 660, the secondary pulley 652 is installed at the outer end of the right rotating head 620, and the outer end extends out of the through hole 611, and the belt 653 transmission sleeve is provided with the main pulley 651 and the secondary pulley 652; the controller 700 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 660. Through the setting of the clamping assembly 600, when clamping the cooling pipe, it is only necessary to inflate the airbag 630, so as to realize the flexible clamping of the cooling pipe and avoid the wear caused by the rigid clamping. At the same time, it can be applied to the clamping of cooling pipes with different diameters, further improving the versatility and practicality. When the cooling tube is clamped, the two ends of the cooling tube are respectively sleeved on the inner end of the rotating head 620, and then the gas source is started. The gas enters the airbag 630 through the rotating joint 640, the axial air channel 621 and the plurality of radial air channels 622 in turn. The airbag 630 expands with the intake of air until it conflicts with the inner wall of the cooling tube, thereby clamping the cooling tube. During the processing, when the cooling tube needs to rotate circumferentially, the rotating motor 660 drives the rotating head 620 on the right to rotate through the transmission group 650, thereby driving the cooling tube to rotate. It should be noted that in order to facilitate the installation of the cooling tube on the clamping assembly 600, the fixed plate 610 on the left can be designed to be slidably connected to the lifting platform 300, and the two ends of the cooling tube can be quickly sleeved on the inner end of the rotating head 620 by sliding the fixed plate 610 on the left and right. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] During operation, when the angle of the clamping assembly 600 needs to be adjusted, the controller 700 controls the rotating assembly 400 to drive the rotating column 200 to rotate to a corresponding angle; when the height of the clamping assembly 600 needs to be adjusted, the controller 700 controls the lifting assembly 500 to drive the lifting platform 300 to rise and fall to a corresponding height.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] In order to ensure the stability of the steel casing 520 during the lifting process, this embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 1. Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of the steel sleeve 520 is provided with a plurality of axial ridges 800 distributed along the circumferential direction, and the inner wall of the rod groove 210 is provided with axial grooves 900 corresponding to the axial ridges 800 distributed along the circumferential direction, and the axial ridges 800 are embedded in the axial grooves 900 and slidably cooperate with the axial grooves 900. By the coordinated arrangement of the axial ridges 800 and the axial grooves 900, the lifting and lowering guidance of the steel sleeve 520 is realized, and the stability during the lifting and lowering process is ensured.
