[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 2 , and combined Figure 6 As shown, the electric tool housing positioning tool includes a connecting structure 10 arranged on an external movable module, and a clamping mechanism 20 arranged on the connecting structure 10. The clamping mechanism 20 includes a pneumatic clamp 21 and a limiter 22. The pneumatic clamp 21 is preferably a three-finger clamp, which has three synchronously acting clamping claw bodies 211. The stability of clamping can be ensured by clamping at three points. The limiter 22 is arranged on one end of the pneumatic clamp 21 close to the clamping claw body 211. The end of the clamping claw body 211 protrudes from the limiter 22 and is used to clamp inwardly or prop up outwardly the product 100 that abuts against the lower end of the limiter 22.

[0026] In the present invention, the product 100, i.e., the housing of the electric tool, is positioned on an external carrier tool in a certain posture. When the clamping claw body 211 needs to clamp the narrow end 100a of the product 100, first, the external moving module drives the connecting mechanism 10 and the clamping mechanism 20 to move downward so that the lower end of the limit member 22 abuts against the end of the narrow end 100a of the product 100. After the pneumatic clamping claw 21 drives the clamping claw body 211 to move, the end side wall of the narrow end 100a is clamped without acting on the first protrusion 102 or the irregular circular side wall 101. Therefore, mutual interference with the first protrusion 102 on the narrow end 100a can be avoided, thereby ensuring the clamping effect and clamping stability of the product 100. Similarly, if Figure 5 As shown, when the clamping claws 211 need to clamp the wide end 100b of the product 100, the three clamping claws 211 are first located in the retracted position and are driven to extend into the cavity of the thick end 100b. When the lower end of the limiting member 22 abuts against the end of the thick end 100b, the three clamping claws 211 are reset outward to thereby support the product 100 outward.

[0027] The utility model can ensure the distance of the clamping claw body 11 acting on the product 100 by setting a limit piece 22 to abut against the end of the product 100, thereby preventing the product 100 from extending too much into the clamping claw body 211 and clamping the protrusion or irregular circular side wall 101 on the product 100, and thus only clamping the end of the product 100 to ensure the stability of clamping, thereby improving the clamping accuracy and stability.

[0028] Combination Figure 3 As shown, more specifically, the limiting member 22 includes three connecting plates 221, three connecting columns 222 and three pressure plates 223. The three connecting plates 221 are respectively arranged between an adjacent pair of clamping claw bodies 211 to form a gap. The connecting columns 222 are vertically arranged on the connecting plates 221. The pressure plate 223 is vertically arranged on the connecting columns 222 at one end away from the connecting plates 221 and is used to abut the product 100 to limit the distance that the product 100 extends into the clamping claw body 211. Specifically, abutment areas 2230 are formed on the three pressure plates 223 close to each other, and the abutment areas 2230 can be used to abut the narrow end 100a or the thick end 100b of the product 100. In addition, in order to ensure that the abutment area 2230 is suitable for the narrow end 100a or the thick end 100b of different opening sizes, it is preferred to connect the three pressure plates 223, that is, the three pressure plates 223 are an integrated structure, so that a smaller abutment area can be achieved at the same time, and the setting of the integrated structure can ensure the balance between the multiple pressure plates 223, and can ensure the uniformity and balance when abutting with the end of the product 100; accordingly, the middle parts of the three connecting plates 221 are also connected, that is, the three connecting plates 221 are an integrated structure and form a yield area 2210 with the connection, and the three connecting plates are arranged at equal angles, which can ensure the balance of the limit member 22 installed on the pneumatic clamp 21.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment of the utility model, the connecting plate 221 includes a lower plate 2211 and an upper plate 2212 fixedly connected to each other, the lower plate 2211 is provided with a first through hole 2201 vertically penetrating its body, and a limiting groove 2203 is provided on the upper end surface next to the first through hole 2201, the upper plate 2212 is provided with a second through hole 2202 vertically penetrating its body, the connecting column 222 includes a column 2221, and a limiting ring 2222 arranged in the middle of the column 2221, and a spring 2223 is sleeved on the upper end of the limiting ring 2222 on the column 2221, the lower end of the column 2221 extends downwardly out of the first through hole 2201, and the upper end extends upward out of the second through hole 2202, and the lower plate 2211 and the upper plate 2212 are locked by bolts, and the limiting ring 2222 and the spring 2223 are sealed in the limiting groove 2203. In this embodiment, by providing a limiting ring 2222 and a spring 2223 on the column 2221, the connecting column 222 can be moved up and down a small distance relative to the connecting plate 221 in the vertical direction. That is, when the pressure plate 223 abuts against the product 100, the connecting column 222 can move upward due to the upward reaction force generated by the product 100 on the pressure plate 223. However, since the height of the limiting groove 2203 that cooperates with the spring 2223 and the limiting ring 2222 limits the moving distance in the vertical direction, a buffered abutment between the pressure plate 223 and the product 100 is achieved, which can avoid damage to the product 100; due to the height limitation of the limiting groove 2203, the upward movement of the connecting column 222 will not cause the product 100 to extend too much into the clamping claw body 211, which can avoid the pneumatic clamping claw 21 clamping the irregular circular side wall 101 of the product 100 and affecting the clamping effect and clamping stability.

[0030] It should also be noted that when the product 100 is clamped by the clamping claw body 211, even with the elastic force of the spring 2223, the product 100 will not have a relative position relative to the clamping claw body 211 due to the clamping force of the pneumatic clamp 21; moreover, when the external mobile module drives the product 100 to move into place and abuts against the external tooling, the elastic recovery effect of the spring 2223 after the clamping claw body 211 is reset can further press the product against the external tooling, which is similar to the clamping effect of manual operation, and can ensure the reliability of the installation.

[0031] Furthermore, a guide column 2213 for the column 2221 to pass through may be provided on the lower plate 2211 to ensure the accuracy of the vertical movement of the connecting column 222 and enable the abutment area 2230 to be located in the same horizontal plane.

[0032] For example Figure 2As shown, a clearance notch 2110 is provided on the side of the clamping claw body 211 away from the central axis of the pneumatic clamping claw 21, and the clearance notch 2110 can be used for the clamping claw body 211 to extend into the thick end 100b of the product 100 for external support.

[0033] Furthermore, there are two clamping mechanisms 20, and the two clamping mechanisms 20 are arranged vertically to each other, so that two products 100 can be clamped at one time.

[0034] To adapt to the setting of the two clamping mechanisms 20, the connecting structure 10 includes a connecting block 11, a rotating cylinder 12 and a fixed block 13. The connecting block 11 and the fixed block 13 are both isosceles right triangle structures. A right-angled surface of the connecting block is set on the external moving module, the rotating cylinder 12 is set on the inclined surface of the connecting block 11, and the inclined surface on the fixed block 13 is set at the output end of the rotating cylinder 12. The two clamping mechanisms are respectively vertically set on the right-angled surfaces of the fixed block 13. In this way, the two clamping mechanisms 20 can be driven to interchange positions after rotation, thereby realizing a loading and a unloading action at the same time, thereby improving the feeding rate of the product 100.

[0035] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
