DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A self-locking fixture for parts feeding includes a housing 1, a guide groove 2 is provided at the upper end of the housing 1, a rectangular groove 17 is provided at the inner bottom of the guide groove 2, and a columnar cavity 9 is provided in the housing 1;
[0022] The clamping mechanism includes two connecting plates 4 symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper end of the housing 1, piston cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two connecting plates 4, second piston blocks 16 that can slide left and right are arranged in the two piston cylinders 5, clamping plates 6 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two second piston blocks 16, and rubber pads are arranged on the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 6;
[0023] The gravity trigger mechanism is also included. The gravity trigger mechanism is located in the rectangular groove 17. The gravity trigger mechanism includes a gravity trigger plate 3 slidably connected in the rectangular groove 17. The lower end of the gravity trigger plate 3 is fixedly connected with a conductive plate 20. The conductive plate 20 is a copper plate. The lower end of the conductive plate 20 is elastically connected to the inner bottom of the rectangular groove 17 through a second spring 18. The inner walls on both sides of the middle space of the rectangular groove 17 are embedded with power connection blocks 19.
[0024] Wherein, it also includes a magnetic drive mechanism, which is located in the columnar cavity 9. The magnetic drive mechanism includes a first piston block 11 slidably connected in the columnar cavity 9. The upper end of the first piston block 11 is elastically connected to the inner top of the columnar cavity 9 through a first spring 12. The first spring 12 is a spring with a large stiffness coefficient. An electromagnet 10 is installed at the inner bottom of the columnar cavity 9. The repulsive force generated by the electromagnet 10 when it is energized is large. The first piston block 11 is magnetic. After the electromagnet 10 is energized, it repels the adjacent surface of the first piston block 11 with the same sex. The top space of the columnar cavity 9 is connected to the two piston cylinders 5 through two first connecting pipes 13 respectively, and the top space of the columnar cavity 9 is connected to the two piston cylinders 5 through two second connecting pipes 14 respectively. The diameter of each first connecting pipe 13 is one-third of the diameter of the second connecting pipe 14.
[0025] Among them, a one-way valve is installed in each of the first connecting tube 13 and the second connecting tube 14. The one-way flow direction of the first connecting tube 13 is that the top space of the columnar cavity 9 unidirectionally enters the corresponding piston cylinder 5. The one-way valve flow direction in the second connecting tube 14 is that the piston cylinder 5 unidirectionally enters the columnar cavity 9. The bottom space of the columnar cavity 9 is connected with the outside through the connecting tube 15. The top space of the columnar cavity 9, multiple first connecting tubes 13, the second connecting tube 14 and the opposite side spaces of the two piston cylinders 5 are all filled with oil. A power supply assembly 8 is installed at the upper end of the shell 1. The power supply assembly 8 and the two power connection blocks 19 jointly control the electromagnet 10. The power supply assembly 8 is composed of a battery and a control switch. One end of the power supply assembly 8 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 10 and the power connection block 19 on the left through a wire in sequence, and the other end is electrically connected to the power connection block 19 on the right.
[0026] In the utility model, when in use, the control switch of the power supply assembly 8 in the initial state is already in the power-on state. At this time, the part to be processed is placed on the guide groove 2 for positioning and guiding. Under the action of the gravity of the part, the gravity trigger plate 3 will move down. After moving down to the limit position, the conductive plate 20 contacts the two power connection blocks 19. At this time, the electromagnet 10 is energized and receives the repulsive force. The first piston block 11 moves up and injects the oil in the top space of the columnar cavity 9 into the opposite side space of the two piston cylinders 5. The oil is used to push the two second piston blocks 16 to move relative to each other, and finally the two clamping plates 6 move relative to each other to achieve automatic clamping limit. When the limit needs to be released later, the control switch of the power supply assembly 8 is turned off, the electromagnet 10 is powered off, and under the elastic action of the first spring 12, the oil in the two piston cylinders 5 is pumped into the columnar cavity 9 again to release the limit. Compared with the prior art, it is further convenient for the staff to operate. After removing the parts, the control switch of the power supply assembly 8 is turned on again to facilitate subsequent operations.
[0027] It should be noted that due to the setting of the first connecting tube 13 and the second connecting tube 14 as well as the internal one-way valve and the size of the tube diameter, the speed of injecting oil into the piston cylinder 5 is slow, and the speed of extracting oil from the piston cylinder 5 is fast. This can enable the clamping plate 6 to perform clamping work at a slower speed, thereby avoiding excessive collision between the clamping plate 6 and the parts. The use of rubber pads can effectively avoid damage to the workpiece during clamping.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
