It is a high-precision optical image measuring instrument composed of a high-resolution CCD color lens, a continuously variable magnification objective lens, a color display, a video crosshair display, a precision grating ruler, a multi-function data processor, data measurement software and a high-precision workbench structure. In the process of using the image measuring instrument for measurement, a clamping mechanism is required to assist in the measurement.

[0003] In a Chinese patent, a workpiece clamping mechanism for an image measuring instrument is disclosed, and its patent number is CN218822166U. In the patent, a workpiece clamping mechanism for an image measuring instrument includes a main body, a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the main body, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the mounting plate, a measuring device is fixedly installed on the bottom of the bracket, and a fixing mechanism is arranged on both sides of the bracket. A workpiece clamping mechanism for an image measuring instrument is provided with a fixing mechanism and a clamping mechanism. The second motor drives the gear to rotate, and can simultaneously drive the first clamping frame and the second clamping frame to move toward the middle at the same time, clamp and fix the object to be measured, and the first motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the position of the moving block is adjusted, and then the top of the object to be measured is pressed and fixed by the electric cylinder, and then measured by the measuring device, which is conducive to the effective clamping operation of the object to be measured placed on the top of the measuring plate, and avoids the phenomenon of measurement error caused by the movement of the object to be measured.

[0004] The above-mentioned published patents have the following disadvantages:

[0005] (1) In the prior art, since the height of the clamping mechanism is always fixed, when the workpiece fixed on the surface of the clamping mechanism is small in size, although it can be clamped and fixed by the upper end component, the operator needs to bend down to accurately observe the measurement of the workpiece.

[0006] (2) In the prior art, the workpiece fixed by the clamping mechanism needs to be fixed by it, which is troublesome when adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism. It may also be necessary to wait for it to move to the appropriate position during the movement process. If the clamping force is not enough, it needs to be adjusted multiple times.

[0007] (3) In the prior art, when the clamping mechanism fixes the workpiece, it is necessary to clamp workpieces of different sizes by driving components. Since the clamping mechanism is electrically driven, if care is not taken, the clamping force on the workpiece surface may be too large, thereby causing damage to the workpiece surface and affecting the subsequent normal use of the workpiece.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a workpiece clamping mechanism includes a base 1, the base 1 with a cavity inside is supported by a supporting leg 101, a lifting assembly 2 fixed inside the base 1 is provided with a driving motor 201, the driving motor 201 drives a turntable 203 to rotate through a driving rod 202, and a belt 204 is provided between the two turntables 203 for linkage, so that a screw barrel 205 can rotate, so that an inner connecting block 206 can drive a table 3 to rise and fall through a connecting rod 207, and a clamping assembly 4 fixed on the surface of the table 3 is provided with a fixed seat 401, The limit block 402 on the inner side of the seat 401 rotates through the rotating shaft 403, and cooperates with the fixed seat 401 to enable the screw 404 to drive the movable plate 405 to move. The buffer plate 5 located on one side of the movable plate 405 is attached to the surface of the workpiece through the soft pad 501 on the surface. The limit rod 502 installed on the other side of the buffer plate 5 is limited by the stop block 503, so that the buffer spring 504 on the surface of the limit rod 502 can relieve the clamping force. The support frame 6 fixed on one side of the surface of the base 1 is located on one side of the table 3, and the workpiece is measured by the measuring instrument body 7 arranged on the bottom surface of the upper end of the support frame 6.

[0036] The lifting assembly 2 is provided with a turntable 211 fixed on the surface of the driving rod 202. With the assistance of a belt 212, the turntable 211 can drive the screw barrel 213 to rotate, so that the connecting block 214 threadedly connected to its inner side can drive the connecting rod 215 to rise and fall.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, by rotating the driving rod 202, the turntable 1 203 and the turntable 2 211 on the surface can rotate synchronously, and with the cooperation of the belt 1 204 and the belt 2 212, the connecting rod 1 207 and the connecting rod 2 215 can be raised and lowered synchronously.

[0038] The connecting rod 1 207 and the connecting rod 215 slidably connected to the surface of the base 1 are both fixed to the bottom surface of the table top 3 .

[0039] Through the above technical solution, by fixing the connecting rod 1 207 and the connecting rod 215, the two connecting blocks will not be driven to rotate simultaneously during the rotation of the screw barrel 1 205 and the screw barrel 2 213, making the two connecting blocks more stable during the lifting process.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the limit block 402 is opened and closed with the cooperation of the rotating shaft 403, so that the inner screw 404 can be separated from the threaded connection, so that it can slide inside the fixing seat 401 and the limit block 402, thereby making the clamping work more convenient.

[0042] The limiting ring 406 disposed on the surface of the moving plate 405 enables the screw rod 404 to rotate inside the limiting ring 406 with the assistance of the balls.

[0043] Through the above technical solution, with the assistance of the ball, when one end of the screw 404 rotates inside the limiting ring 406, the friction between the two can be reduced, making the rotation of the screw 404 smoother.

[0044] When in use, when the user uses the workpiece clamping mechanism, the workpiece to be clamped is placed on the surface of the table 3, and the limit block 402 is opened by the rotating shaft 403, so that the screw 404 can be lifted up and slide inside the fixed seat 401, so that the movable plate 405 can quickly approach the workpiece, and then the limit block 402 is closed, and the movable plate 405 can be slightly approached to the workpiece by rotating the screw 404, and then the cushion 501 can be attached to the surface of the workpiece through the setting of the buffer spring 504, and the workpiece is elastically clamped, and then the driving motor 201 is started, so that the driving rod 202 can drive the turntable 1 203 and the turntable 211 to rotate, so that the screw barrel 1 205 and the screw barrel 213 can rotate synchronously, so that the connecting block 1 206 and the connecting block 2 214 connected on the inner side can support the lifting of the table 3, so as to adjust the table 3 to an appropriate height, and observe and measure through the measuring instrument body 7.

[0045] The electrical components appearing in this article are all connected to an external main controller and 220V AC power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device that controls a computer, etc. The specific implementation method of the present disclosure omits the detailed description of known functions and known components. To ensure the compatibility of the equipment, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of marketed equipment.
