[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] A small clamp opening assembly tool comprises a fixed base 1, a proximity sensor 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed base 1, a slot 3 is provided on the fixed base 1, a rotating bearing 4 is provided in the slot 3, a driving turntable 5 is fixedly installed outside the rotating bearing 4, an arc-shaped slide groove 6 is symmetrically provided on the driving turntable 5, a rotating self-locking limit groove 7 is provided in each of the arc-shaped slide grooves 6, a connecting block 8 is slidably connected in the arc-shaped slide groove 6, a follower bearing 9 is provided on the connecting block 8, a small clamp jaw 0 is fixedly installed on the follower bearing 9, and the other end of the small clamp jaw 0 is hingedly connected to the fixed base 1;

[0025] From the above description, it can be seen that the worker puts the small clamp 12 between the two small clamp jaws 10, and then controls the driving turntable 5 to rotate. The specially designed arc-shaped slide groove 6 on the driving turntable 5 will drive the follower bearing 7 to move, drive the small clamp jaws 10 to close together, and open the small clamp 12. At the bottom of the arc-shaped slide groove 6, a rotating self-locking limit groove 7 is specially designed to keep the highly elastic small clamp jaws 10 in the self-locking open state, which is convenient for subsequent automated assembly; the proximity sensor 2 can continuously detect this open state.

[0026] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, a strip-shaped through hole 11 is provided on one side of the fixed base 1 close to the proximity sensor 12, and the receiving end of the proximity sensor 2 is fixedly connected to the driving turntable 5 through the strip-shaped through hole 11;

[0027] It can be known from the above description that by driving the rotation of the turntable 5, the receiving end of the proximity sensor 2 is driven to move, thereby realizing the monitoring of the opening and closing condition of the small clamp jaw 10.

[0028] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, the small clamp jaw 10 is made of an elastic material;

[0029] It can be seen from the above description that the small clamp jaw 10 can be easily moved in the rotation self-locking limit groove 7.

[0030] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, a small clamp 12 is provided between the small clamp jaws 10, and a bellows 13 is provided on the small clamp 12;

[0031] It can be known from the above description that the small clamp 12 is fixed by the small clamp jaw 10 so that the small clamp 12 and the corrugated tube 13 are connected to each other.

[0032] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, a handle 14 is fixedly installed on the driving turntable 5;

[0033] It can be seen from the above description that the handle 14 can facilitate the worker to control the rotation of the drive turntable 5.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] The worker places the small clamp 12 between the two small clamp jaws 10, and then controls the driving turntable 5 to rotate. The specially designed arc-shaped slide groove 6 on the driving turntable 5 will drive the follower bearing 7 to move, driving the small clamp jaws 10 to close together and open the small clamp 12. At the bottom of the arc-shaped slide groove 6, a rotating self-locking limit groove 7 is specially designed to keep the highly elastic small clamp jaws 10 in the self-locking open state, which is convenient for subsequent automated assembly; the proximity sensor 2 can continuously detect this open state.

[0036] The above describes the utility model and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The specific implementation method is only one of the implementation methods of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention of the utility model, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
