[0026] How this utility works:

[0027] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-5 For this type of modular gripper round tube connector, when in use, the side fixing structure 4 first clamps the round tube body 5 through the rotating rod 401, the clamping plate 402 and the tube clamping piece 403. When the rotating rod 401 is rotated, due to the action of the rotating bearing 406, the clamping plate 402 will move accordingly, thereby adjusting the spacing between the tube clamping pieces 403 to adapt to round tubes of different diameters. The position of the tube clamping piece 403 can be further fixed by the small screw 404 and the matching small screw hole 405 to ensure that the round tube is stably clamped. The inverted U-shaped design of 2 and the docking block 202 of the base 1 allow the connector to be adjusted in multiple directions to meet the connection requirements of different positions and angles. The large screws 802 in the mounting plate 8 and the hidden sleeve 801 are used to fix the connector on a forklift or other equipment. The design of the disassembly plate 7 allows the user to quickly disassemble or install the connector when necessary. Through the U-shaped disassembly plate 7 and the matching inner groove 6, the user can easily complete the disassembly or installation process with the assistance of the thick spring 702 and the telescopic rod 703;

[0028] When using the round tube connector, first connect the connecting frame 2 with the base 1 through the docking block 202, and use the large screw 802 to fix the mounting plate 8 on a forklift or other equipment. According to the needs, adjust the relative positions of the connecting frame 2 and the base 1 to adapt to the specific connection requirements, rotate the rotating rod 401, open the clamping plate 402 and the tube clamping piece 403 to the appropriate position, put the round tube body 5 between the tube clamping pieces 403, and continue to rotate the rotating rod 401 so that the tube clamping piece 403 clamps the round tube, and use the small screw 404 to further fix the position of the tube clamping piece 403 to ensure that the round tube is stably clamped. If the connector needs to be disassembled, the clamping piece 403 on the round tube can be loosened by operating the disassembly plate 7. With the assistance of the thick spring 702 and the telescopic rod 703, the disassembly plate 7 is moved out of the inner groove 6 to release the round tube. The gripper round tube connector has multiple modular settings when in use, which can be disassembled and installed after moving according to different installation requirements of the round tube, and each module can be disassembled through parts.
