DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a central clamping device comprises a mounting plate 1, the mounting plate 1 is provided with a driving assembly 2, a first clamping member 3 and a second clamping member 4 are slidingly arranged below the mounting plate 1, a clamping position is formed by clamping between the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4, and the workpiece is clamped in the clamping position; wherein the driving assembly 2 is connected to the first clamping member 3 to drive the first clamping member 3 to move; the first clamping member 3 is connected to a linkage component, and the linkage component is connected to the second clamping member 4, and when the first clamping member 3 moves, it will drive the second clamping member 4 to move synchronously through the linkage component, so that the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 perform an opening and closing clamping action; therefore, the clamping is performed in an opening and closing manner, so it is compatible with workpieces of different widths; and only one driving assembly 2 is needed to finally drive the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 to move, saving manufacturing costs.

[0030] The first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 slide horizontally on the mounting plate 1, and the clamping position will become smaller as the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 approach each other, and will become larger as the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 move away from each other. Thus, by adjusting the distance between the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4, the size of the clamping position can be changed to adapt to the clamping processing of plates of different sizes.

[0031] Specifically, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the driving assembly 2 includes a cylinder 201, and the end of the cylinder 201 is connected to a connecting member 202, and the connecting member 202 is connected to the upper end of the support seat 203, and the lower end of the support seat 203 is connected to the first clamping member 3; the linkage member includes a first rack 204, and the first rack 204 is connected above the first clamping member 3; the first rack 204 is meshedly connected to a gear 205, and the gear 205 is pivotally connected to the mounting plate 1, and the gear 205 is meshedly connected to the second rack 206, and the first rack 204 and the second rack 206 are arranged in parallel, and the second rack 206 is connected above the second clamping member 4; therefore, when the first clamping member 3 moves, the second rack 206 is finally driven to move by the first rack 204, the gear 205, and the second rack 206; sliders 207 are arranged on both sides above the first rack 204 and the second rack 206, and the slider 207 is slidably connected to a linear rail 208, and the linear rail 208 is fixed on the mounting plate 1, The contraction of the piston rod of the cylinder will push the support seat 203 to move inward through the connecting piece 202, and the support seat 203 will drive the first clamping member 3 and the first rack 204 to move inward. The movement of the first rack 204 will drive the gear 205 to rotate, and the gear 205 will drive the second rack 206 to move in the opposite direction of the movement of the first rack 204, thereby driving the second clamping member 4 to move, so that the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 are close to each other; conversely, the extension of the piston rod of the cylinder will push the support seat 203 to move outward through the connecting piece 202, and the support seat 203 will drive the first clamping member 3 and the first rack 204 to move outward. The movement of the first rack 204 will drive the gear 205 to rotate, and the gear 205 will drive the second rack 206 to move in the opposite direction of the movement of the first rack 204, thereby driving the second clamping member 4 to move, so that the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 are separated from each other, and the clamping of the workpiece is released.

[0032] A cylinder fixing seat 9 is arranged above the mounting plate 1, and the cylinder 201 is arranged above the cylinder fixing seat 9. The cylinder fixing seat 9 supports and fixes the cylinder 201; and the piston rod of the cylinder 201 is pulled back, which will drive the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 to clamp together.

[0033] The first clamping member 3 is provided with a first avoidance position 303, and the second rack 206 corresponds to and matches the first avoidance position 303. The second clamping member 4 is provided with a second avoidance position 401, and the first rack 204 corresponds to and matches the second avoidance position 401. When the first rack 204 and the second rack 206 move relative to each other, the second rack 206 will slide accordingly at the first avoidance position 303, and the first rack 204 will slide accordingly at the second avoidance position 401. On the one hand, it will not hinder the movement of the first rack 204 and the second rack 206, and on the other hand, it will make the structure more compact.

[0034] A first fixing plate 5 and a second fixing plate 6 are arranged below the mounting plate 1. The first fixing plate 5 is provided with a plurality of first auxiliary wheels 7, and the second fixing plate 6 is provided with a plurality of second auxiliary wheels 8. The arrangement direction of the plurality of first auxiliary wheels 7 is the same as the sliding direction of the first rack 204, and the first auxiliary wheels 7 are abutted against the side surface of the first rack 204; the arrangement direction of the plurality of second auxiliary wheels 8 is the same as the sliding direction of the second rack 206, and the second auxiliary wheels 8 are abutted against the side surface of the second rack (206); the above arrangement method and abutment setting can enable the first auxiliary wheels 7 and the second auxiliary wheels 8 to respectively play a role of limiting and guiding the first rack 204 and the second rack 206, so that the first rack 204 and the second rack 206 move more smoothly.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 have the same structure. The first clamping member 3 or the second clamping member 4 includes a wide portion 301 and a narrow portion 302. The wide portion 301 and the narrow portion 302 are connected to form a 7 shape; the slider 207 is fixedly arranged above the wide portion 301. This design combines the advantages of a wide splint and a narrow splint. Since the wide portion 301 is subjected to greater force, more material is used and the size is wide. The narrow portion 3021 is subjected to less force, so less material is used. The above design is targeted at specific forces and effectively saves material costs.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, the mounting plate 1 is provided with a void-avoiding groove 101 , and the support seat 203 can be slidably inserted in the void-avoiding groove 101 . When the support seat 203 moves, it will slide accordingly in the void-avoiding groove 101 .

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, a screw hole 2021 is provided at the end of the connecting member 202, and a threaded section is formed at the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 201. The connecting member 202 is connected to the threaded section through the screw hole 2021, and then the connecting member 202 is fixed to the upper end of the support seat 203; the threaded connection method is adopted, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly; and because the lower end of the support seat 203 is connected to the first clamping member 3, the installation depth of the connecting member 202 on the threaded section can be adjusted through the threaded connection method, so as to achieve the purpose of fine-tuning the clamping strength of the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4; a limiting nut (2011) is threadedly connected on the threaded section, and the limiting nut (2011) limits the screwing depth of the connecting member 202 on the threaded section.

[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the plate is placed on the clamping position, and a driving component is used to drive the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 to approach each other, and the two sides of the plate are clamped, so as to clamp and fix the plate; when it is necessary to release, the driving component can be used to drive the first clamping member 3 and the second clamping member 4 to move away from each other, and release the clamping state.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
