A cylinder 7 is arranged at the center of the top surface, and a connecting rod 701 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 7, and a ladder-shaped slider 702 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 701 away from the cylinder 7, and the two side ends of the ladder-shaped slider 702 are slidingly connected to the inclined surfaces of the ladder-shaped blocks 6 located on both sides thereof, and a V-shaped bottom block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the clamping jaw rod 802, and a hard alloy block 901 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the bottom of the clamping jaw rod 802, wherein it should be supplemented that the setting of the V-shaped bottom block 9 supports the two ends of the workpiece, further improving the stability of the clamped workpiece, and the setting of the hard alloy block 901 greatly improves the wear resistance of the clamping jaw rod 802 during long-term clamping.

[0025] Among them, it should be supplemented that the dovetail slide bar 801 can slide on the bottom surface of the slider seat connecting plate 8 and the position of the dovetail slide bar 801 on the bottom surface of the slider seat connecting plate 8 is fastened by bolts. Among them, it should be supplemented that, through such a setting, the distance between the two clamping claw rods 802 can be conveniently adjusted, so as to clamp workpieces of different sizes, which is not affected by the length of the linear rail 4, and the applicability of the device is greatly improved. An inner T-shaped groove is provided on the side where the ladder block 6 contacts the ladder slider 702, and the side end of the ladder slider 702 that contacts the ladder block 6 is set to T-shape, and the side end of the ladder slider 702 extends into the inner T-shaped groove, so that the two side ends of the ladder slider 702 are always slidably connected with the inclined surfaces of the ladder blocks 6 located on both sides thereof.

[0026] Furthermore, the connecting rod 701 passes through the gap between the middle partition 302 and the two linear rails 4, and the front and back sides of the upper cover plate 3 are fixedly connected to the second side cover plate 303, thereby achieving a dustproof effect. An adjustment component is provided on the connecting plate 2: it includes an annular groove 205 opened on the connecting plate 2, a fine-tuning block 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 2, a U-shaped seat 203 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the upper cover plate 3 near the fine-tuning block 202, and both sides of the U-shaped seat 203 are threadedly connected with adjustable screws 204, and the fine-tuning block 202 protrudes between the adjustable screws 204 arranged on both sides of the U-shaped seat 203, and the connecting plate 2 and the upper cover plate 3 are fastened by a locking bolt 201, and the locking bolt 201 extends into the annular groove 205, and a notch 304 is provided on the top of the second side cover plate 303 near the locking bolt 201.

[0027] Through the arrangement and cooperation of the cylinder 7, the ladder block 6 and the ladder slider 702, etc., the ladder slider 702 is used to move up and down to drive the ladder blocks 6 on both sides thereof to move left and right, thereby successfully realizing the horizontal lateral clamping of the workpiece.

Through the arrangement of the adjustment components, the precise adjustment of the horizontal rotation of the clamped workpiece is successfully realized. It is easy to operate, has a wide range of applications, has a simple structural arrangement, is easy to maintain, has a low cost, and is suitable for popularization and use.

[0028] Working principle: When using this device, when it is necessary to clamp the workpiece used in the centerless grinding process horizontally, refer to Figure 1 As shown, it is only necessary to start the cylinder 7, and the output end of the control cylinder 7 will retract inward, thereby driving the connecting rod 701 to move upward, and causing the ladder slider 702 to move upward. Due to the sliding connection between the ladder block 6 and the ladder slider 702, the ladder blocks 6 on both sides of the ladder slider 702 will approach each other. At this time, the slider 5 slides on the linear rail 4, and the two slider seat connecting plates 8 approach each other, thereby causing the two clamping claw rods 802 to approach each other, thereby successfully achieving the tightening of the workpiece.

[0029] When the angle of the upper cover plate 3 needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to loosen the locking bolt 201 through the notch 304. At this time, by rotating the adjustable screw 204, since the connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the vertical wall 1 of the manipulator and remains stationary, the upper cover plate 3 will rotate accordingly under the interaction of forces. At this time, the locking bolt 201 rotates in the annular groove 205. After the angle of the upper cover plate 3 is adjusted, it is only necessary to tighten the locking bolt 201. The precise adjustment of the horizontal rotation of the clamped workpiece is successfully achieved. The structural setting is simple and efficient, and is suitable for popularization and use.
