Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of woodworking machinery, in particular to a mechanical hand clamping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Chinese patent publication number CN116442343A discloses an all-in-one machine for labeling, punching and cutting panel furniture, which has a labeling part, a loading table, a punching and grooving part and a cutting part. When the workpiece (panel furniture) is labeled, it is then grasped by a mechanical gripper, and the mechanical gripper drives one conveyor line to move to another conveyor line to carry out the next process, such as the punching and grooving process of the panel furniture. However, since there is a height difference between the connection between the two conveyor lines, in order to avoid the collision of the wooden board with the other conveyor line during the conveying process, a lifting structure needs to be set to avoid the collision of the wooden board with the other conveyor line during the conveying process, and to avoid the wooden board falling from a high place to the other conveyor line. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a mechanical clamping mechanism, which is provided with a first driver for driving the entire clamping block assembly to make an axial movement up and down. When the clamping block assembly clamps a workpiece and moves it from one conveyor line to another conveyor line, if the other conveyor line is at a higher height, the first driver drives the entire clamping block assembly to make an axial movement up to avoid the workpiece colliding with the other conveyor line. If the other conveyor line is at a lower height, the first driver drives the entire clamping block assembly to make an axial movement down to avoid the workpiece falling from a high place to the other conveyor line when the clamping block assembly releases the workpiece.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0005] A mechanical clamping mechanism includes a movable seat which is reciprocatingly arranged on a conveyor line, and a clamping block assembly for clamping a workpiece. The clamping block assembly is arranged on one side of the movable seat for up and down axial movement, and the movable seat is provided with a first driver for driving the clamping block assembly to make up and down axial movement; when the clamping block assembly clamps the workpiece on the conveyor line, the clamping block assembly drives the workpiece to move along one conveyor line to another conveyor line, and the first driver drives the clamping block assembly to drive the workpiece to make up and down axial movement, so that the workpiece can adapt to conveyor lines of different heights.

[0006] A first driver is provided to drive the entire clamping block assembly to make up and down axial movements. When the clamping block assembly clamps the workpiece and moves it from one conveyor line to another conveyor line, if the other conveyor line is at a higher height, the first driver drives the entire clamping block assembly to make upward axial movements to avoid the workpiece from colliding with the other conveyor line. If the other conveyor line is at a lower height, the first driver drives the entire clamping block assembly to make downward axial movements to avoid the workpiece from falling from a high place onto another conveyor line when the clamping block assembly releases the workpiece, thereby adapting to the connection between conveyor lines of different heights.

[0007] An axial motion groove is provided on the movable seat, and a lifting block is provided at one end of the clamping block assembly. The lifting block limiter at one end of the clamping block assembly is installed in the axial motion groove, and the output end of the first driver is transmission-connected to the lifting block. When the first driver drives the clamping block assembly to make up-and-down axial motion along the movable seat, the lifting block limiter moves in the axial motion groove to set the up-and-down axial motion freedom of the entire clamping block assembly to prevent the clamping block assembly from slipping out of the movable seat when making up-and-down axial motion.

[0008] The movable seat is provided with a guide column inserted through the lifting block, and the lifting block is provided with a guide sleeve mounted on the guide column. When the lifting block moves in the axial motion groove, the guide sleeve moves up and down axially along the guide column to ensure that the entire clamping block assembly moves up and down stably.

[0009] The clamping block assembly includes a first clamping block connected to the lifting block, and a second clamping block that moves axially up and down along the first clamping block. A second driver is provided at the bottom of the first clamping block for driving the second clamping block to move axially up and down. The second driver drives the second clamping block to move closer to or away from the first clamping block to achieve clamping and releasing of the workpiece by the clamping block assembly.

[0010] A connecting block is provided between the lifting block and the first clamping block, and a first linear sliding assembly is provided between the connecting block and the movable seat. When the lifting block moves axially up and down, the lifting block drives the clamping block assembly to move through the connecting block, and the connecting block moves linearly up and down on the movable seat through the first linear sliding assembly.

[0011] A second linear sliding assembly is provided between the movable seat and the second clamping block. When the second driver drives the second clamping block to move axially up and down, the second clamping block moves linearly up and down on the movable seat through the second linear sliding assembly.

[0012] The first clamping block is provided with an installation avoidance notch corresponding to the second linear sliding assembly.

[0013] An opening and closing guide assembly is provided between the first clamping block and the second clamping block, and the upper and lower intervals between the first clamping block and the second clamping block form a clamping groove for clamping a workpiece. When the second driver drives the second clamping block to move, the second clamping block moves axially up and down along the first clamping block through the opening and closing guide assembly to change the upper and lower intervals between the first clamping block and the second clamping block, thereby changing the size of the clamping groove.

[0014] The output end of the second driver passes through the bottom of the first clamping block upwards and is drivingly connected to the second clamping block.

[0015] The first clamping block and / or the second clamping block are provided with a soft block for contacting the outer surface of the workpiece, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping hand and the clamped wooden board, making the clamping more secure and preventing the outer surface of the workpiece from being worn.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0017] A first driver is provided to drive the entire clamping block assembly to make up and down axial movements. When the clamping block assembly clamps the workpiece and moves it from one conveyor line to another conveyor line, if the other conveyor line is at a higher height, the first driver drives the entire clamping block assembly to make upward axial movements to avoid the workpiece from colliding with the other conveyor line. If the other conveyor line is at a lower height, the first driver drives the entire clamping block assembly to make downward axial movements to avoid the workpiece from falling from a high place onto another conveyor line when the clamping block assembly releases the workpiece. This allows the assembly to adapt to the connection between conveyor lines of different heights, so as to protect the workpiece from being transported intact from one conveyor line to another.
