[0027] The embodiment of the present application solves the problem that the clamping device may fail to clamp a bent and deformed turnover box by providing a clamping device based on automatic box loading with a piston connecting rod.

[0028] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0029] In the embodiment of the utility model, the clamping device includes: a support, an X-axis slide cylinder, a Z-axis slide cylinder, a buffer assembly and a cylinder clamp; the clamping device drives the cylinder clamp to move along the X-axis through the X-axis slide cylinder, so as to adjust the distance between the cylinder clamps on both sides, so that the clamping device can be suitable for clamping turnover boxes of various specifications and sizes; the Z-axis slide cylinder drives the cylinder clamp to move along the Z-axis, which is used to drive the cylinder clamp to rise and fall with a small amplitude; in the process of clamping the turnover box by the cylinder clamp, the buffer assembly is set so that the pressure block on the clamp forms an elastic soft contact with the turnover box, and the height of the clamp is automatically adjusted. Even for deformed turnover boxes, it can ensure that the position of the clamp and the groove of the turnover box are consistent, thereby realizing stable grasping of the turnover box.

[0030] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0033] Both sides of the support 10 are connected to the Z-axis slide cylinder 12 via the X-axis slide cylinder 11;

[0034] The cylinder clamp 30 is installed at the output end of the Z-axis slide cylinder 12 through the buffer assembly 20;

[0035] The buffer assembly 20 includes: a top plate 21, a bottom plate 22, a guide rod 23 and a spring 24;

[0044] The support 10 is driven to move along the X direction by the translation component 41 and to move along the Z direction by the vertical movement component 42. The translation component 41 and the vertical movement component 42 cooperate with each other to realize the carrying action of the clamping device; the Y-axis slide cylinder 43 adjusts the Y-axis position of the support 10 to adapt to the grabbing position of turnover boxes of various sizes.
