The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 The elastic claw type knife sleeve clamping device shown comprises: a fixing seat 1, a first knife claw 2, a second knife claw 3, a transfer shaft 4 and an elastic member 5;

[0032] The fixing seat 1 is fixedly arranged on the cutter disc 02 and arranged opposite to the corresponding cutter sleeve 01. The first cutter claw 2 and the second cutter claw 3 are rotatably connected to the fixing seat 1 through the adapter shaft 4 respectively.

[0033] Among them, the first blade claw 2 and the second blade claw 3 have the same structure, both of which include a clamping part 10, a rotating part 20 and a control part 30 which are sequentially connected, and the clamping part 10 is located at the end where the knife sleeve 01 is located, and the inner side surface of the clamping part 10 facing the knife sleeve 01 is an arc-shaped clamping surface 11, and the clamping surface 11 is arranged in contact with the outer side surface of the knife sleeve 01, the rotating part 20 is located in the fixed seat 1 and is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 1, and the elastic member 5 is located between the control part 30 of the first blade claw 2 and the control part 30 of the second blade claw 3, and the control parts 30 on both sides form abutment against the two ends of the elastic member 5.

[0034] The utility model sets a fixing seat 1 at the position of the knife disc 02 corresponding to the knife sleeve 01, and does not need to occupy additional assembly space. By rotatably setting the first knife claw 2 and the second knife claw 3 on the fixing seat 1, under the abutment effect of the elastic member 5 on the control parts 30 on both sides, it can ensure that the clamping surfaces 11 on both sides of the knife disc 02 are always in a tightly fitted state with the outer side surface of the knife sleeve 01 during operation, effectively preventing the knife sleeve 01 from deflecting or shaking, ensuring the stability of the clamping effect of the first knife claw 2 and the second knife claw 3, and only through the relative rotation of the first knife claw 2 and the second knife claw 3, the knife sleeves 01 of different sizes and shapes can be quickly and automatically clamped and released. It is simple, convenient and practical.

[0035] The elastic member 5 is always in a compressed state, so that the clamping portion 10 of the first knife claw 2 and the second knife claw 3 always maintains a clamping effect on the knife sleeve 01 during the rotation of the knife disc 02, and the clamping surface 11 is in a close fit with the outer surface of the knife sleeve 01, ensuring the stability of the clamping effect and the accuracy of positioning; when the tool needs to be replaced, the knife sleeve 01 is disengaged from the clamping surfaces 11 on both sides, pushing the first knife claw 2 and the second knife claw 3 to overcome the abutting force of the elastic member 5 to rotate, so that the knife sleeve 01 is released, thereby realizing the automatic clamping and releasing action of the knife sleeve 01 quickly, which is convenient for assembly.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, a guide surface 12 is formed at one end of the clamping portion 10 away from the rotating portion 20, and the guide surface 12 is inclined toward the side away from the outer side of the tool sleeve 01; the setting of the guide surface 12 provides a clear guiding effect for the tool sleeve 01 to enter between the first knife claw 2 and the second knife claw 3, ensuring that the tool sleeve 01 can accurately reach the position of the clamping surface 11 to achieve the clamping effect on the tool sleeve 01, and the inclined setting to the guide surface 12 reduces the contact friction during entry, reduces the wear on the tool sleeve 01, and extends the service life.

[0037] On the basis of the above embodiment, a transition surface 13 is arranged between the guide surface 12 and the clamping surface 11. The transition surface 13 is an arc surface, and its two ends are respectively arranged tangent to the guide surface 12 and the clamping surface 11; this ensures that a buffer area is formed in the process of the tool sleeve 01 moving from the guide surface 12 to the corresponding position of the clamping surface 11, so that the movement of the tool sleeve 01 is smooth and continuous, the impact and vibration are reduced, and it is helpful to improve the positioning accuracy during clamping, and the appearance is more smooth, natural and beautiful.

[0040] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the bottom of the adapter groove 1a forms a limiting surface 1c, and the limiting surface 1c is arranged opposite to the inner side surface of the rotating part 20, and is inclined toward the side where the clamping part 10 is located; the setting of the limiting surface 1c determines the rotation angle range of the rotating part 20. When it is rotated to the extreme position, the inner side surface of the rotating part 20 will form a local abutment effect with the limiting surface 1c, thereby limiting the rotating part 20 from continuing to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, effectively preventing the rotating part 20 from derailing in the adapter groove 1a, and improving the safety of the entire clamping device.

[0041] On the basis of the above embodiment, a fixed shaft 32 is provided on one side where the first blade claw 2 and the second blade claw 3 are opposite to each other, and the fixed shaft 32 is protrudingly provided on the inner side surface of the control part 30, and the two end portions of the elastic member 5 are sleeved on the two fixed shafts 32, and the end surfaces are in contact with the inner side surface of the control part 30; so that the elastic member 5 can effectively apply force to the first blade claw 2 and the second blade claw 3 to ensure the stability and consistency of the clamping action; avoid unstable clamping of the knife sleeve 01 due to uneven pressure; and the setting of the fixed shaft 32 makes the installation and adjustment of the elastic member 5 more convenient, and also facilitates the replacement or maintenance of the elastic member 5.

[0042] On the basis of the above embodiment, two mounting holes 1d are provided in the middle of the fixing seat 1, and the two mounting holes 1d are set through; the through mounting holes 1d allow mounting bolts or other fasteners to directly pass through the fixing seat 1 to install the clamping device on the cutter disc 02, thereby simplifying the installation process of the clamping device, and the mounting holes 1d help to ensure the alignment and positioning accuracy of the clamping device on the cutter disc 02, and the installation is flexible and convenient.

[0043] On the basis of the above embodiment, both ends of the adapter shaft 4 are located outside the fixed seat 1, and the outer axial surface of the end of the adapter shaft 4 is sleeved with a gasket 4a, and the end face of the gasket 4a is fitted with the outer side surface of the fixed seat 1; the gasket 4a fits with the outer side surface of the fixed seat 1, which can provide better support, reduce the bending or deviation of the adapter shaft 4 caused by external force, and improve the coaxiality and parallelism after installation; thereby improving the stability of the overall clamping device; and being able to absorb vibration and impact energy, reduce damage to the clamping device, and extend its service life.
