Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing equipment, in particular to a modular fixture applied in the field of automation. Background Art

[0002] The field of automation involves a wide range of technologies and applications, aiming to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, enhance product quality, and improve the reliability and stability of the entire production process through automated equipment and systems. In the field of automation, modular fixtures, as an innovative process equipment system, play a vital role. The application of modular fixtures in the field of automation not only improves production efficiency and quality, but also provides enterprises with a higher level of flexibility and intelligence. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, modular fixtures will play a more important role in the field of automation.

[0003] The working principle of the modular fixture is similar to "building blocks". It consists of a set of universal components and assemblies with standardized structures and sizes. These components and assemblies are fully interchangeable. According to the processing requirements of specific parts, these components and assemblies can be assembled into a fixture that meets the needs in a relatively short period of time. After use, the fixture can be disassembled into individual components for easy storage in the warehouse, waiting for the next assembly of a new fixture.

[0004] At present, when modular clamps are put into practical use, multiple module bodies are usually connected and assembled by using connectors, so that several clamps can be assembled, which is convenient for using them to fix and clamp multiple objects at a time.

[0005] However, when the modular fixture is used, after the modular fixture is assembled, it can only clamp objects of the same shape. If objects of different shapes appear, the modular fixture needs to be disassembled and reassembled, which increases the workload and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a modular clamp for use in the field of automation, so as to solve the technical problem that when the modular clamp is used, after the modular clamp is assembled, it can only clamp objects of the same shape. If objects of different shapes appear, the modular clamp needs to be disassembled and reassembled, which will increase the work content and reduce work efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a modular fixture used in the field of automation, comprising a connecting plate, a plurality of fixed blocks fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, each of the fixed blocks is slidably connected to a connecting block on one adjacent side, each of the connecting blocks is fixedly connected to a connecting piece on one adjacent side, and both sides of the connecting piece are rotatably connected to movable plates through a rotating shaft, the top of one of the rotating shafts movably passes through the top of the connecting piece and extends to the outside to be connected to a torsion block, and the top of another rotating shaft movably passes through the top of the connecting piece and extends to the outside to be connected to a limiting plate, and the outer surfaces of a group of the rotating shafts are provided with meshing gears.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, a movable plate is rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting piece. When the movable plate is rotated on both sides of the connecting piece, the movable plate is flush with one side of the connecting piece. At this time, the rectangular object can be clamped and fixed by the movable plate and the connecting piece. When one of the rotating shafts is driven to rotate by the torsion block, and then the other rotating shaft can be synchronously driven to rotate through the mutual engagement of a group of gears, a group of rotating shafts drives the corresponding movable plates to rotate, so that different angles can be formed in the middle of a group of movable plates. At this time, cylindrical objects of different diameters can be clamped and fixed according to the angle of the angle, which is beneficial for clamping objects of different shapes. There is no need to disassemble the module clamp when clamping objects of different shapes, and the movable plate can be driven to rotate to complete the clamping of objects of different shapes, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0009] The utility model is further configured such that a slide groove is provided on one adjacent side of each fixed block, and a slider matching the slide groove is slidably connected in the slide groove, the slider is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block, and the slider is configured as a "T" shaped structure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the slide groove and the slider, it is advantageous for the connection block to be connected to the fixed block through the connection between the slide groove and the slider, so as to facilitate better assembly of the module fixture.

[0011] The utility model is further configured that one end of the fixing block and the connecting block are both provided with a first slot, and a first plugging block which fits with the first slot is movably connected in the first slot.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, through the provision of the first slot and the first plug-in block, it is convenient to insert the first plug-in block into the first slot after the fixed block and the connecting block are connected through the matching sliding groove and the sliding block, so as to fix the position of the connecting block through the first plug-in block.

[0013] The utility model is further configured that a card slot is provided on one side of each movable plate, and a card block that fits with the card slot is slidably connected in the card slot, a second slot is provided at the same end of the movable plate and the card block, and a second plug block that fits with the second slot is movably connected in the second slot.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing a card slot on one side of the movable plate, the movable plate can be connected to the card block. At the same time, the provision of the second slot and the second plug-in block is conducive to inserting the second plug-in block into the second slot after the movable plate is connected to the card block, thereby facilitating fixing the position of the card block.

[0015] The utility model is further configured that the card block is divided into a first card block or a second card block.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the card block is divided into a first card block or a second card block, so that when the device is used, if it is necessary to use a modular clamp to fix an object such as a cylindrical movable cuboid, the first card block can be connected to one side of the movable plate, and the fixation of the object by the first card block can be avoided. If it is necessary to use the modular clamp to fix a parallelogram object, the second card block can be connected to one side of the movable plate and the movable plate can be rotated, so parallelograms of different sizes can be clamped and fixed.

[0017] The utility model is further configured such that one side of the second plug block is fixedly connected to the handle.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, it is advantageous to fix a handle on one side of the second plug-in block, so that the second plug-in block can be driven to move in the second slot through the handle.

[0019] In summary, the utility model mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The utility model is provided with a movable plate, so that when clamping a rectangular object, the movable plate can be flush with the connecting piece, and the rectangular object can be clamped at this time; if when clamping a cylindrical object, one of the rotating shafts can be driven to rotate by the torsion block, so that the other rotating shaft can be rotated synchronously through the influence of the gear, so that different angles can be formed between a group of movable blocks, and cylinders of different diameters can be clamped and fixed by the angle of the angle, which is beneficial when clamping objects of different shapes, and there is no need to disassemble and reassemble the module clamp, so that work efficiency is improved.
