[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a clamp of the utility model comprises:

[0030] substrate1;

[0031] The suction cup assembly 2 includes a first driving source 21 and a connecting plate 22. The first driving source 21 is provided with a plurality of and vertically connected to the substrate 1. The output ends of the first driving source 21 are vertically connected to one side of the connecting plate 22. A plurality of vacuum suction cups 23 are symmetrically provided on the other side of the connecting plate 22.

[0032] The clamping plate assembly 3 includes a second driving source 31 and a clamping plate 32. Two second driving sources 31 are provided. The two second driving sources 31 are arranged on the connecting plate 22 with their backs facing each other and are parallel to the connecting plate 22. The output ends of the two second driving sources 31 are respectively vertically connected to a clamping plate 32.

[0033] The clamp of the utility model includes two types of clamping or grasping mechanisms, namely, a suction cup assembly 2 and a clamping plate assembly 3. The suction cup assembly 2 and the clamping plate assembly 3 can be used alone to grasp products, and can also be used together to grasp products; for example, the clamping plate assembly 3 can clamp some three-dimensional products, specifically by driving the two clamping plates 32 to move closer to or away from each other through two second driving sources 31 to achieve the clamping and release of the object; and the suction cup assembly 2 is more suitable for grasping products with smooth surfaces and good sealing properties, such as glass, plastic or other material plates. It can improve the versatility of the clamp and the stability in the process of clamping and transporting products, which is conducive to reducing production costs and improving production safety. The entire clamp has a simple structure, is easy to install and maintain, and is suitable for practical use.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, further, a plurality of first driving sources 21 are symmetrically connected to one surface of the substrate 1, the output ends of the first driving sources 21 all penetrate the substrate 1 and are vertically connected to the connecting plate 22, and a plurality of stoppers located between the substrate 1 and the connecting plate 22 are symmetrically arranged on the substrate 1. Specifically, the first driving source 21 can drive the connecting plate 22 to move relative to the substrate 1, and the stoppers located between the connecting plate 22 and the substrate 1 can play a limiting role to prevent the second driving source 31 on the connecting plate 22 from being damaged.

[0035] Furthermore, the second driving source 31 is arranged on a surface of the connecting plate 22 close to the base plate 1, and the output ends of the second driving source 31 are vertically connected to the fixing plates. The two clamping plates 32 are respectively connected in parallel to the two fixing plates by bolts, and clamping plates 32 of different sizes can be replaced according to actual usage requirements.

[0036] Furthermore, a rubber sheet 33 is provided on the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 32. Specifically, rubber is a new type of material with good strength, small compression deformation, and between plastic and rubber. It has the rigidity of plastic and the elasticity of rubber, and can play a role in buffering, silencing and vibration reduction. The rubber sheet 33 provided on the clamping plate 32 can play a certain protective role on the product and the clamp, and can also increase the friction between the clamping plate 32 and the product, ensuring the stability and reliability of the clamp when clamping the product.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, further, it also includes a protection component 4, which includes a mounting plate 41, an insertion shaft 42, a hanging plate 43 and a protection switch 44. Two mounting plates 41 are arranged at intervals, and the two mounting plates 41 are vertically connected to the base plate 1 and are parallel to each other. An oblong hole 411 is vertically opened on the two mounting plates 41 respectively, and the two oblong holes 411 are coaxial and extend in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 1. The two ends of the insertion shaft 42 are respectively slidably connected to the two oblong holes 411, and the insertion shaft 42 is connected with a hanging plate 43. The protection switch 44 is installed between the two mounting plates 41 and is located below the hanging plate 43. Specifically, when transferring products on the production line, the output end of the transfer equipment is connected to the hanging plate 43. In the process of the transfer equipment moving the fixture and the product, the hanging plate 43 is pulled up so that the insertion shaft 42 is located at the top of the oblong hole 411, and the bottom of the hanging plate 43 is separated from the protection switch 44. At this time, the staff cannot control the fixture through the control button, thereby forming a protection mechanism during the transfer process; and when the product is transferred to the right place and the transfer equipment puts down the fixture and the product, the insertion shaft 42 falls to the bottom of the oblong hole 411, and the bottom of the hanging plate 43 presses the protection switch. At this time, the staff can control the fixture through the control button; the above-mentioned protection mechanism can avoid the occurrence of product falling incidents due to operator misoperation during product transfer, thereby ensuring the safe progress of the production process.

[0038] Furthermore, the hanging plate 43 includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate vertically connected to the middle of the horizontal plate, a through hole is vertically opened on the vertical plate and is sleeved on the plug shaft through the through hole, and the horizontal plate is located on the side close to the protection switch. Specifically, a hanging hole is also opened on the vertical plate to facilitate its connection with the output end of the transfer equipment.

[0039] Furthermore, a plurality of vacuum suction cups 23 are arranged in a matrix on the connecting plate 22, and the vacuum suction cups 23 are all connected to a vacuum generating device.

[0040] Furthermore, two handles 5 are symmetrically arranged on a surface of the base plate 1 away from the connecting plate 22 , and an operator can hold the clamp by means of the handles 5 , which facilitates operation.

[0041] Furthermore, the cover 6 is provided on the side of the substrate 1 away from the connecting plate 22, and a button switch control box 7 is provided on the cover 6. The button switch control box 7 is located near the handle 5, which is convenient for operators to control. Specifically, the cover 6 is provided with a through hole for the handle 5 and the hanging plate 43 to be exposed; the cover 6 can protect the components it covers, and can also beautify the product structure.

It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here.
