[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0032] Combined with this Figures 1 to 6To describe an embodiment of a clamping assembly that automatically switches the positioning pins and clamps the electric drive. Specifically, the clamping assembly that automatically switches the positioning pins and clamps the electric drive is constructed as a split structure, which has four parts, namely, a transition plate 200, a clamping plate 300, a positioning pin 400 and a slide bar 500. The position of the groove 501 can be adjusted by pushing the slide bar 500. When the groove 501 moves to the position directly below any positioning pin 400, the positioning pin 400 moves downward and contracts, and the other positioning pin 400 moves upward and extends, which can facilitate the alternating lifting or releasing state of the two positioning pins 400 in the test tooling, and improve the work efficiency of the telescopic state change of the two positioning pins 400.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , a clamping assembly for automatically switching positioning pins and clamping electric drive, including a base plate 100, and also including:

[0034] A transition plate 200 is fixed on the bottom plate 100. A pair of vertically placed first round through holes 201 are formed on the transition plate 200. A horizontally placed first sliding groove 202 is formed at the bottom of the transition plate 200.

[0035] The clamping plate 300 is fixed to the upper end of the transition plate 200. The clamping plate 300 is provided with two second circular through holes 301 corresponding to the two first circular through holes 201. The second circular through holes 301 are coaxially arranged with the corresponding first circular through holes 201. The second circular through holes 301 are slidably connected with positioning pins 400.

[0036] The slide bar 500 is slidably engaged in the first slide groove 202, and the lower ends of the positioning pins 400 are in contact with the upper ends of the slide bar 500. A groove 501 is provided on the upper end surface of the slide bar 500. The bottom of the groove 501 is in a horizontal plane. The groove walls on both sides of the groove 501 are in an inclined position away from each other from bottom to top. When the groove 501 is located directly below any positioning pin 400, the lower end of the positioning pin 400 is in contact with the bottom of the groove 501, and the lower end of the other positioning pin 400 is in contact with the upper end surface of the slide bar 500.

[0037] The transition plate 200 is usually made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, which provides sufficient strength and rigidity to cope with mechanical stress and load. In order to increase corrosion resistance and extend service life, the surface of the transition plate 200 can be galvanized or anodized.

[0038] The clamping plate 300 is generally made of hardened steel. The clamping plate 300 is fixed to the upper end of the transition plate 200 to provide a solid mounting position. In order to further improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance, the surface of the clamping plate can be chrome-plated or nickel-plated. In addition, easy loading and unloading and maintenance are also considered to facilitate quick replacement and repair.

[0039] The slide bar 500 is generally made of wear-resistant engineering plastics (such as polyoxymethylene POM) or surface-treated steel (such as carburized steel) to reduce friction and wear and extend service life. In order to further reduce friction and improve sliding performance, the surface of the slide bar 500 may include a lubricating coating or plating.

[0040] The product is placed on the clamping plate 300, and the positioning hole of the product is located directly above any positioning pin 400. The position of the groove 501 can then be adjusted by pushing the slide bar 500 to move, so that the groove 501 moves to directly below the other positioning pin 400; at this time, the positioning pin 400 directly below the product positioning hole is lifted up by the slide bar 500, and the lower end of the positioning pin 400 contacts the upper end surface of the slide bar 500, so that the positioning pin 400 moves up and is inserted into the positioning hole of the product to position the product; when replacing a product of another specification, when the positioning hole of the product is directly above the other positioning pin 400, the slide bar 500 can be pushed again to adjust the position of the groove 501, so that the telescopic state of the two positioning pins 400 can be changed; it can be convenient to change the telescopic state of the two positioning pins 400 in the test bench, thereby improving the work efficiency of changing the telescopic state of the two positioning pins 400.

[0041] When the position of the groove 501 is changed and adjusted, in order to facilitate the positioning pin 400 directly above the groove 501 to automatically move down to its lower end and contact the bottom of the groove 501, a first disc 6 placed coaxially is fixed in the second round through hole 301, and the positioning pin 400 passes through the first disc 6 and is slidably connected with it. A second disc 7 is fixedly sleeved on the positioning pin 400, and the second disc 7 is located directly below the first disc 6, and the second disc 7 can slide along the first round through hole 201 and the second round through hole 301. A spring 8 is provided, and both ends of the spring 8 are fixed to the first disc 6 and the second disc 7 respectively; during the movement of the slide bar 500, when the groove wall on any side of the groove 501 contacts the lower end of any positioning pin 400, as the slide bar 500 moves, the positioning pin 400 continuously moves upward along the inclined groove wall of the groove 501, and the upward movement of the positioning pin 400 drives the second disc 7, and the second disc 7 squeezes and compresses the spring 8; when the groove 501 moves to the bottom of any positioning pin 400, the spring 8 can push the second disc 7 and the positioning pin 400 downward under the action of the elastic force.

[0042] The spring 8 is always in a compressed state; when the groove 501 moves below any positioning pin 400, the positioning pin 400 can be easily obtained in time to move downward.

[0043] In order to facilitate the sliding of the positioning pin 400 and improve the guiding property of the movement of the positioning pin 400, a coaxially placed bushing 9 is fixed in each of the first round through holes 201. The bushing 9 is sleeved on the peripheral wall of the positioning pin 400 and is slidably connected thereto.

[0044] In order to facilitate automatic control of the movement and adjustment of the slide bar 500, a cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the base plate 100, and a driving rod is provided at the output end of the cylinder 10 which is coaxially placed with the slide bar 500, and the driving rod is fixed to one end of the slide bar 500; the slide bar 500 is driven to move by the extension and retraction of the driving rod at the output end of the cylinder 10, so as to facilitate the position adjustment of the slide bar 500 and the groove 501.

[0045] In order to further improve the guiding property of the sliding bar 500, a second sliding groove 502 placed coaxially is opened at the lower end of the sliding bar 500, and a sliding and clamping guide bar 11 is provided in the second sliding groove 502, and the guide bar 11 is fixed on the bottom plate 100; the sliding bar 500 moves along the guide bar 11, which can further improve its guiding property during the movement process.

[0046] In order to monitor the position status of the two positioning pins 400 so as to accurately drive the corresponding positioning pins 400 to move up according to different product specifications, a pair of symmetrically placed support members 12 are provided above the base plate 100, one of the support members 12 is fixed on the base plate 100, and the other support member 12 is fixed on the transition plate 200, a pair of horizontally placed optical fiber counter-radiation sensor transmitting ends 121 is fixed on one of the support members 12, and a pair of optical fiber counter-radiation sensor receiving ends is fixed on the other support member 12, the two optical fiber counter-radiation sensor transmitting ends 121 correspond to the two positioning pins 400 one by one, the central axis of the optical fiber counter-radiation sensor transmitting end 121 passes through the central axis of the corresponding positioning pin 400, and the optical fiber counter-radiation sensor transmitting end 121 is connected to the corresponding optical fiber counter-radiation sensor receiving end through an optical fiber; when any positioning pin 400 moves up, the positioning pin 400 enters the middle of the optical path and blocks the light, the optical signal will be cut off, and the optical fiber counter-radiation sensor receiving end will not be able to receive the optical signal; by monitoring the changes in the optical signal, the position status of the two positioning pins 400 can be monitored.
