[0030] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the utility model. The preferred embodiments of the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.

If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] refer to Figure 6 The clip 500 includes two clips 510 distributed up and down, the two clips 510 are arranged in a homogeneous and integral manner, and the right ends of the two clips 510 are connected, and the left ends of the two clips 510 are separated, so that the clip 500 has an opening 501 facing left, and the opening 501 of the clip 500 gradually increases from right to left.

[0035] After the clamp 500 is installed on the workpiece, the workpiece needs to be located between the two clips 510 of the clamp 500, and the extension direction of the clamp 500 needs to be perpendicular to the edge of the workpiece. When the staff manually installs the clamp 500 on the workpiece, it is difficult to keep the extension direction of the clamp 500 perpendicular to the edge of the workpiece.

[0036] In order to enable the clamp 500 to be more accurately mounted on the workpiece, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the utility model, the clamp installation mechanism includes a carrying plate 100 and a driving structure 200; a limiting area 101 for accommodating a workpiece is formed on the carrying plate 100, and a guide groove 110 for guiding the movement of the clamp 500 is also provided on the carrying plate 100, the guide groove 110 extends in the left-right direction, and the left end of the guide groove 110 extends into the limiting area 101; the driving structure 200 is arranged on the right side of the carrying plate 100.

[0037] When the clamp installation mechanism of this embodiment is working, the workpiece can be placed in the limiting area 101 on the supporting plate 100. At this time, the right edge of the workpiece can be perpendicular to the guide groove 110. The staff can place the clamp 500 in the guide groove 110 and make the opening 501 of the clamp 500 face the workpiece. Driven by the driving structure 200, the clamp 500 can move to the left along the guide groove 110 so that the clamp 500 can be clamped on the workpiece.

[0038] It is understandable that the guide groove 110 is provided so that the guide groove 110 can guide the movement of the clamp 500 so that the clamp 500 can be accurately installed on the workpiece under the drive of the driving structure 200, thereby improving the accuracy of the installation of the clamp 500.

[0039] It is understandable that, since the guide groove 110 partially extends into the limiting area 101, the guide groove 110 can always guide the clip 500 before the clip 500 is completely installed on the workpiece, thereby further improving the installation accuracy of the clip 500 on the workpiece.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The driving structure 200 includes a driver 210 and a push rod 220. The output end of the driver 210 is connected to the push rod 220, and the push rod 220 is partially inserted into the guide groove 110. Then, driven by the driver 210, the push rod 220 can move leftward along the guide groove 110 to push the clamp 500 located in the guide groove 110 to move leftward, so that the clamp 500 can clamp the workpiece located in the limiting area 101.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments, according to actual needs, a plurality of guide grooves 110 may be provided on the carrier plate 100 around the limiting area 101. Figure 2 As shown, five guide grooves 110 may be provided on the right side of the limiting area 101, and the guide grooves 110 all extend in the left-right direction, and the guide grooves 110 are arranged in the front-back direction. At this time, the driving structure 200 includes a driver 210 and five push rods 220, and the push rods 220 are inserted into the guide grooves 110 one by one, and the output ends of the driver 210 are respectively connected to the five push rods 220. A clip 500 can be placed in each guide groove 110. Under the drive of the driver 210, the five push rods 220 can respectively push the clips 500 in the five guide grooves 110 to move to the left, so that the five clips 500 can be clamped on the workpiece at the same time, so as to improve the working efficiency of the clip installation mechanism of this embodiment.

[0042] In some cases, multiple clamps 500 need to be installed on both sides of the workpiece. Furthermore, referring to the figure, two groups of guide groove groups are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the limit area 101, each group of guide groove groups includes multiple guide grooves 110 extending along the left and right directions, and the multiple guide grooves 110 in the same guide groove group are arranged along the front and back directions. Two driving structures 200 are correspondingly provided, and the two driving structures 200 are respectively used to drive the clamps 500 in the two groups of guide groove groups to approach the limit area 101.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the processing of the guide grooves 110 , in some embodiments, the guide grooves 110 in the two guide groove groups are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the two corresponding guide grooves 110 are connected to each other.

[0044] Optionally, in addition to being directly formed on the carrier plate 100 , the guide groove 110 may also be formed by providing two parallel guide blocks on the carrier plate 100 , with the guide groove 110 formed between the two guide blocks.

[0045] Understandably, reference Figure 6Since the structure of the lower clip 510 located at the opening 501 of the clip 500 will tilt downward, when the clip 500 is placed on a horizontal plane, the entire clip 500 will be in a tilted state. Therefore, when the bottom of the guide groove 110 is a horizontal plane, the entire clip 500 will tilt upward. At this time, under the drive of the driving structure 200, it is difficult for the clip 500 to be normally installed on the workpiece.

[0046] In order to ensure that the clip 500 remains in a horizontal state after being placed in the guide groove 110, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The guide groove 110 includes a first section 111 and a second section 112. The first section 111 is located outside the limiting area 101 and is used to accommodate the clip 500 to be installed. The second section 112 is connected to one end of the first section 111 close to the limiting area 101 and extends into the limiting area 101. The height of the groove bottom of the second section 112 is lower than the height of the groove bottom of the first section 111. Therefore, when the clip 500 is placed in the first section 111, the opening 501 of the clip 500 can be located in the second section 112. Since the height of the groove bottom of the second section 112 is lower than the height of the groove bottom of the first section 111, the clip 500 can be kept in a horizontal state. Before the clip 500 is completely installed on the workpiece, the end of the clip 500 away from the opening 501 can always abut against the groove bottom of the first section 111, so that the clip 500 always maintains a horizontal state during the installation process, so that the clip 500 can be accurately installed on the workpiece.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2 The clamp installation mechanism of the present invention further includes a plurality of limiting members 300 , which are detachably disposed on the carrier plate 100 and surround a limiting area 101 .

[0048] It can be understood that since the limiting area 101 is formed by the various limiting members 300, and the limiting members 300 are detachably arranged on the supporting plate 100, the staff can replace the limiting members 300 of different specifications so that the limiting area 101 can accommodate workpieces of different specifications, so that the clamp installation mechanism of this embodiment can complete the installation of the clip 500 on workpieces of different specifications.

[0049] Further, in order to realize the detachable installation of the stopper 300 on the carrier plate 100, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 5The supporting plate 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 120 of the same number and corresponding one-to-one with the limiting members 300. The limiting member 300 includes a mounting portion 310 and a limiting portion 320. The limiting portion 320 is connected to the upper end of the mounting portion 310. The mounting portion 310 is inserted into the mounting hole 120. The limiting portion 320 abuts against the hole edge of the mounting hole 120 to prevent the limiting portion 320 from extending into the mounting hole 120. Each limiting portion 320 jointly defines a limiting area 101.

[0050] Further, in order to prevent the limiting portion 320 from being separated from the mounting hole 120, refer to Figure 5 A plurality of threaded holes 130 are also provided on the carrier plate 100, and a threaded hole 130 is provided on the side of each mounting hole 120. The screw 150 can be threadedly inserted into the threaded hole 130, and the nut of the screw 150 can abut against the upper end surface of the mounting portion 310 to prevent the mounting portion 310 from detaching upward from the mounting hole 120.

[0051] Further, in order to facilitate the placement of the workpiece in the limiting area 101, refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, a guide surface 321 for guiding the workpiece into the limiting area 101 is formed at the upper end of the limiting portion 320 .

[0052] After the workpiece is placed in the limiting area 101, in order to limit the workpiece in the limiting area 101 in the vertical direction, in some embodiments of the present utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The clamp installation mechanism also includes a pressing plate 400, one end of which is hinged to the carrier plate 100. Under the action of external force, the pressing plate 400 can rotate around the hinged end to vertically press or loosen the workpiece in the limiting area 101. Therefore, before placing the workpiece in the limiting area 101, the worker can rotate the pressing plate 400 upward so that the workpiece can be smoothly placed in the limiting area 101, and then the worker can rotate the pressing plate 400 downward so that the pressing plate 400 can press the workpiece in the limiting area 101 to cooperate with the carrier plate 100 to limit the workpiece in the vertical direction.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to reduce the overall thickness of the clip installation mechanism of the utility model, in some embodiments, a receiving groove is provided on the carrier plate 100, the limiting area 101 is located in the receiving groove, and the groove depth of the receiving groove is less than the thickness of the workpiece, and the limiting members 300 are distributed at intervals along the edge of the receiving groove. It can be understood that the setting of the receiving groove enables the workpiece to be partially accommodated in the receiving groove after being placed in the limiting area 101, so as to improve the space utilization rate of the clip installation mechanism of this embodiment and reduce the thickness of the clip installation mechanism of this embodiment.

[0054] In order to reduce the interference of the pressing plate 400 when pressing the workpiece in the limiting area 101, refer to Figure 1A plurality of avoidance holes 410 are also provided on the pressing plate 400 . The avoidance holes 410 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the limiting members 300 , and can accommodate the limiting members 300 when the pressing plate 400 presses down the workpiece.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to facilitate the staff to take out the workpiece in the limiting area 101, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a long hole 140 is provided on the carrier plate 100, and a portion of the long hole 140 extends into the limiting area 101. Then, the staff can put their hands into the long hole 140 and move to the bottom of the limiting area 101 to pull out the workpiece in the limiting area 101. The provision of the long hole 140 reduces the difficulty for the staff to take out the workpiece in the limiting area 101.

[0056] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
