[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the utility model is a silicon rod cutting and clamping mechanism, comprising a fixing seat 3, wherein the fixing seat 3 is fastened to a material clamping plate 2 at the lower end and is fastened to a cylinder assembly at the upper end.
[0023] The lower end of the piston rod 6 of the cylinder assembly is tightly connected to the clamping head 13 . The clamping head 13 can cooperate with the bottom surface of the material clamping plate 2 under the drive of the piston rod 6 to clamp the workpiece 14 .
[0024] The outer ring of the lower end of the material clamping plate 2 is tightly connected to the guide plate 1 , and the guide plate 1 guides the workpiece 14 entering the material clamping plate 2 from the side.
[0025] The cylinder assembly includes a cylinder 4, and a piston rod 6 divides the cylinder 4 into two upper and lower cavities. The oil port arranged at the upper end of the cylinder 4 is connected to the upper cavity, and the air port arranged at the side of the cylinder 4 is connected to the lower cavity.
[0026] The cylinder body 4 is fastened to the upper end of the fixing seat 3 via a flange portion integrally connected at the lower portion thereof. The lower end of the cylinder body 4 extends into the inner cavity of the fixing seat 3 , and a flange cover 11 is fastened to the lower end of the cylinder body 4 .
[0027] A group of disc springs 5 are arranged in the lower cavity of the cylinder body 4, the lower rod body of the piston rod 6 passes through the disc springs 5, the upper end of the disc spring 5 is pressed against the bottom surface of the piston of the piston rod 6, and the lower end of the disc spring 5 is pressed against the upper surface of the flange cover 11.
[0028] The upper rod body of the piston rod 6 extends out of the cylinder body 4, and a first sealing ring 9 is arranged between the upper rod body of the piston rod 6 and the inner hole of the cylinder body 4. The first sealing ring 9 is arranged in the groove of the cylinder body 4. In order to achieve reliable dynamic sealing, two grooves are arranged on the cylinder body 4.
[0029] A second sealing ring 10 is disposed on the outer ring of the piston of the piston rod 6 to achieve dynamic sealing with the inner wall of the cylinder body 4 . Furthermore, a second sealing ring 10 is disposed at each of the two axial ends of the piston of the piston rod 6 .
[0030] The bottom surface of the flange cover 11 is constructed with an integrally connected axial cylindrical body, and a third sealing ring 12 is disposed in the inner hole of the axial cylindrical body.
[0031] The clamping head 13 is fastened to the lower rod body of the piston rod 6 by bolts, and the lower end of the clamping head 13 is configured with a radially extending clamping portion.
[0032] The upper end of the piston rod 6 is fixedly connected to the detection shaft 8 , and the upper end of the cylinder body 4 is installed with a sensor 7 , which matches with the detection shaft 8 .
[0033] The top surface of the material clamping plate 2 is structured with a positioning countersunk hole, and the fixing seat 3 is matched and arranged in the positioning countersunk hole and is fastened and connected by bolts.
[0034] The working process of the utility model is as follows: the inner cavity of the cylinder body 4 is divided into two cavities by the piston of the piston rod 6, which are not connected in series. One of the cavities is connected in series with the hydraulic system, and the other cavity is equipped with a group of disc springs 5. The clamping mechanism is connected to the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system can enter and exit one of the cavities of the cylinder body 4 through the inlet and return hydraulic oil ports of the clamping mechanism.
[0035] Under the action of the loading tool, the material sheet 14 is loaded into the material clamping plate 2 through the guide plate 1, and the material clamping plate 2 clamps the material sheet 14 laterally.
[0036] When the clamping device needs to clamp the sheet 14, the sensor 7 receives the enable signal, the hydraulic system is enabled, and the hydraulic oil does not act on the piston rod 6. Under the force of the disc spring 5, the hydraulic oil returns from the cylinder body to the oil cylinder of the hydraulic system through the inlet and return hydraulic oil ports. The piston rod 6 is acted on by the disc spring 5 in an upward direction. The piston rod 6 moves upward under the force of the disc spring 5, causing the clamping head 13 to move upward and clamp the sheet 14 vertically.
[0037] When the clamping device needs to loosen the material plate 14, the sensor 7 receives the enable signal, the hydraulic system is enabled, and the hydraulic oil exerts force on the piston rod 6. Since the force generated by the hydraulic system is much greater than the force generated by the disc spring 5, the hydraulic oil is pressed into the cylinder body 4 from the oil cylinder of the hydraulic system through the inlet and return hydraulic oil ports, the disc spring 5 is compressed, and the piston rod 6 is directed downward by the combined force. The piston rod 6 moves downward under the action of the hydraulic system, causing the clamping head 13 to follow the downward movement and vertically loosen the material plate.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to examples, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
