[0018] Please refer to Figure 1-2A linear opening and closing electric clamp comprises a hanging plate 1, a linear guide rail 2, a clamping assembly 3 and a driving assembly 4, wherein the linear guide rail 2 is arranged on the hanging plate 1. The clamping assembly 3 comprises two opening and closing claws 31 arranged opposite to each other, wherein the lower part of one of the opening and closing claws 31 is movably arranged at one end of the linear guide rail 2, and the lower part of the other opening and closing claw 31 is movably arranged at the other end of the linear guide rail 2. The driving assembly 4 comprises a ball screw 41 and a power motor 42, wherein the ball screw 41 is rotatably arranged on the hanging plate 1, and one end of the ball screw 41 is transmission-connected to the power motor 42, and the power motor 42 can drive the ball screw 41 to rotate. The ball screw 41 comprises a left thread segment 411 with opposite thread rotation directions and a right thread segment 412 connected to the left thread segment 411, wherein the upper part of one of the opening and closing claws 31 is connected to the left thread segment 411, and the upper part of the other opening and closing claw 31 is connected to the right thread segment 412.

[0019] See also Figure 1 When the power motor 42 drives the ball screw 41 to rotate forward, the two opening and closing claws 31 move toward each other along the axial direction of the ball screw 41, and the two opening and closing claws 31 approach each other and move to the preset position. When the two opening and closing claws 31 contact the object, the power motor 42 stops driving, thereby clamping the object; when the power motor 42 drives the ball screw 41 to rotate reversely, the two opening and closing claws 31 move away from each other along the axial direction of the ball screw 41, and the two opening and closing claws 31 are separated from the object. When the two opening and closing claws 31 move to the preset position, the power motor 42 stops driving.

[0020] See also Figure 2-3 The opening and closing claw 31 includes a hanging portion 311 and a clamping portion 312 connected to the hanging portion 311. The clamping assembly 3 includes a threaded sleeve 32 respectively sleeved on the left thread segment 411 and the right thread segment 412. The top of the hanging portion 311 is connected to the threaded sleeve 32, and the threaded sleeve 32 is connected to the left thread segment 411 or the right thread segment 412 through a threaded connection. When the ball screw 41 rotates, the threaded sleeves 32 on the left thread segment 411 and the right thread segment 412 move toward or away from each other along the axial direction of the ball screw 41, and drive the hanging portion 311 of the opening and closing claw 31 to move together.

The slider 33 is fixedly connected to the hanging part 311 or the clamping part 312. Through the cooperation between the slider 33 and the linear guide rail 2, the opening and closing claw 31 is limited, so that the opening and closing claw 31 performs a linear opening and closing action along the axial direction of the linear guide rail 2.

[0023] Preferably, the driving assembly 4 includes two bearing seats 43 oppositely arranged on the hanging plate 1, and two ends of the ball screw 41 are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding bearing seats 43.

[0024] In summary, in the present utility model, the power motor 42 drives the ball screw 41 to rotate, so that the opening and closing jaws 31 on the left thread section 411 and the right thread section 412 move synchronously towards or away from each other, so that the two opening and closing jaws 31 accurately move to the preset stroke position for clamping, improving the gripping force on an object, and can be used for gripping fragile items and easily deformable products; the width range of the opening and closing movement of the opening and closing jaws 31 is relatively large, and it can adapt to the gripping of products of various sizes.
