[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 A pneumatic clamp for a numerically controlled machine tool comprises a clamp body 1 and a claw 2 arranged on the clamp body 1, a placement slot 3 is provided on one side of the claw 2, a limit slot 4 is provided on the claw 2 through the placement slot 3, a warning structure 5 is provided on the claw 2 through the placement slot 3 for reminding the staff, the warning structure 5 comprises a moving block 501 movably inserted with the claw 2 through the placement slot 3, a limit plate 502 is installed on the moving block 501, a first spring 503 is installed on the limit plate 502, one end of the first spring 503 is connected with the claw 2 through the limit slot 4, the limit plate 502 is slidably connected with the claw 2 through the limit slot 4, the limit plate 502 can move in the limit slot 4, the moving block 501 can move in the placement slot 3, and the first spring 503 provides the moving block 501 with a force to move to the outside of the placement slot 3.

[0026] The moving block 501 is provided with a sliding opening 504, through which a sliding groove 505 is provided, and the moving block 501 is slidably connected to a squeezing block 508 through the sliding opening 504. When the first spring 503 does not clamp an object, one end of the squeezing block 508 protrudes from the placement slot 3.

[0027] A slider 507 is installed on the extrusion block 508, and the slider 507 is slidably connected to the moving block 501 through the slide groove 505. The moving block 501 is installed with a second spring 506 through the slide groove 505, and one end of the second spring 506 is connected to one end of the slider 507. The second spring 506 is used to support the slider 507, thereby supporting the extrusion block 508.

[0028] The moving block 501 is provided with a switch 510 through the sliding opening 504, and the specific model of the switch 510 is 8B2-P10F. A push rod 511 is provided on the top of the squeezing block 508, and the top of the push rod 511 is connected to the switch 510. An alarm 512 is provided on the claw 2, and the specific model of the alarm 512 is BJ-1IK. The alarm 512 is electrically connected to the switch 510. When the push rod 511 does not squeeze the switch 510, the switch 510 sends a signal to the alarm 512, and the alarm 512 receives the signal and sounds. The circuit connection method between the switch 510 and the alarm 512 can be reasonably set according to actual conditions, and the specific signal transmission is a prior art.

[0029] Specifically, according to the above technical solution, the claws 2 on the clamp body 1 are used to clamp the parts, and then the clamp body 1 drives the parts to move upward. At this time, if the claws 2 are loose or do not clamp the parts, when the parts are separated from the CNC machine table, the parts gradually slide down under their own weight. At this time, the squeezing block 508 moves downward due to the friction of the sliding parts. As the squeezing block 508 moves downward, the push rod 511 moves downward, so that the push rod 511 does not squeeze the switch 510. At this time, the alarm 512 sounds, thereby achieving the effect of reminding the staff.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 A non-slip sheet 509 is installed on one side of the extrusion block 508. The non-slip sheet 509 is made of rubber and is squeezed between the extrusion block 508 and the parts to increase the friction between the extrusion block 508 and the parts.

[0031] The anti-slip sheet 509 is provided with a plurality of transverse grooves, which are used to further increase the friction between the extrusion block 508 and the parts, and to avoid slipping as much as possible to affect the extrusion block 508 from moving downward along with the parts.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 There are two limit grooves 4, two limit plates 502, and each limit plate 502 corresponds to a first spring 503, so that the moving block 501 is evenly stressed when moving, making the moving block 501 move more smoothly.

[0033] There are two slide grooves 505 and two sliders 507 , and each slider 507 corresponds to a second spring 506 , so that the extrusion block 508 is evenly stressed when moving, and the movement of the moving block 501 and the extrusion block 508 is smoother.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] The pneumatic clamp of the CNC machine tool utilizes the claws 2 on the clamp body 1 to clamp the parts, and then the clamp body 1 drives the parts to move upward. At this time, if the claws 2 are loose or do not clamp the parts, when the parts leave the CNC machine tool table, the parts gradually slide down under their own weight. At this time, the squeezing block 508 moves downward due to the friction of the sliding parts. As the squeezing block 508 moves downward, the push rod 511 moves downward, so that the push rod 511 does not squeeze the switch 510. At this time, the alarm 512 sounds, thereby achieving the effect of reminding the staff, so that the staff can respond in time to avoid parts damaging the instruments and remind people near the CNC machine tool to stay away to avoid parts falling and hitting injuries.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
