[0036] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , which is a metal lithium sheet clamping device as the best embodiment of the present utility model, including a first tweezer handle 10, a second tweezer handle 20, a first chuck 30, a second chuck 40, a spring piece 50, and a limiting component 60. One end of the first tweezer handle 10 and the second tweezer handle 20 are connected to each other; the first chuck 30 is arranged at the other end of the first tweezer handle 10 and is rotatably connected to the first tweezer handle 10; the second chuck 40 is arranged at the other end of the second tweezer handle 20 and is rotatably connected to the second tweezer handle 20; the spring piece 50 is arranged on the first tweezer handle 10 and the first chuck 30 and is located on the side away from the second tweezer handle 20; the limiting component 60 can limit the second chuck 40 from rotating outwards, and it is arranged on the second tweezer handle 20 and away from the first tweezer handle 10; therefore, the spring piece 50 and the limiting component 60 are respectively located on both sides of the first tweezer handle 10 and the second tweezer handle 20; the limiting component 60 includes a limiting block 61 that slides on the second tweezer handle 20. When the limiting block 61 straddles the second tweezer handle 20 and the second chuck 40, it limits the second chuck 40 from rotating outwards. When the limiting block 61 is removed or slides onto the second tweezer handle 20, under the action of an external force, the second chuck 40 rotates outwards. The clamping device of the present utility model is provided with rotatable first and second chucks 30 and 40, so that the first and second chucks 30 and 40 can form an angle with the two tweezer handles, which is convenient for clamping the metal lithium sheet from the container, preventing the metal lithium sheet from being scratched during the clamping process or preventing the metal lithium sheet from bending during the clamping process. And when the second chuck 40 is limited from rotating outwards by using the limiting block 61, the clamping device can be used as a conventional tweezer.

[0038] The first chuck 30 and the second chuck 40 are set according to the shape of the product to be clamped. For example, when a circular lithium sheet needs to be clamped, the clamping parts of the first chuck 30 and the second chuck 40 are circular, and the clamping areas of the first chuck 30 and the second chuck 40 are larger than the area of the metal lithium sheet, so that when the first chuck 30 and the second chuck 40 clamp the metal lithium sheet, they completely cover the metal lithium sheet, so as to better protect the metal lithium sheet. The end faces of the first chuck 30 and the second chuck 40 that are far away from each other are provided with inclined surfaces to better shovel up the metal lithium sheet, and the end faces of the first chuck 30 and the second chuck 40 that are close to each other are also provided with inclined surfaces to facilitate the product to enter between the first chuck 30 and the second chuck 40.

[0039] The upper part of the elastic piece 50 is arranged on the first forceps handle 10 and on the side away from the second forceps handle 20, and the lower part is arranged on the first chuck 30. Under the action of the elastic piece 50, the first chuck 30 is flush with the first forceps handle 10. The first chuck 30 rotates under the action of an external force. At this time, an angle greater than 0 is formed between the first chuck 30 and the first forceps handle 10. When the external force is removed, it resets under the action of the elastic piece 50.

[0040] The first forceps handle 10 is arranged on the first chuck 30 through the first rotating shaft 70. Specifically, a first through hole for the first rotating shaft 70 to pass through is arranged on the first forceps handle 10, and a second through hole or groove for connecting with the first rotating shaft 70 is arranged on the first chuck 30. The rotational connection of the first chuck 30 can be realized through the first rotating shaft 70. The elastic piece 50 in this embodiment can directly adopt a torsion spring or the structure shown in the figure, but the principle is the same as that of the torsion spring. Specifically, the elastic piece 50 includes a shaft sleeve portion 51 sleeved on the first rotating shaft 70, a first connecting portion 52 and a second connecting portion 53 connected to the shaft sleeve portion 51. The first connecting portion 52 is arranged on the first forceps handle 10, and the second connecting portion 53 is arranged on the first chuck 30. Using the elastic piece 50 makes the first chuck 30 and the first forceps handle 10 remain Figure 2 flush as shown in the figure. At this time, the clamping device can be used as an ordinary pair of forceps to directly pick up the lithium metal sheet.

[0041] The second forceps handle 20 is arranged on the second chuck 40 through the second rotating shaft 80, and the structure and installation method are similar to those of the first rotating shaft 70.

[0042] The limiting component 60 further includes a limiting mechanism 62 for limiting the sliding of the limiting block 61; a sliding rail 21 for cooperating with the limiting block 61 to slide is arranged on the side of the second forceps handle 20 away from the first forceps handle 10. The sliding rail 21 can be fixedly arranged on the second forceps handle 20. The sliding rail 21 has a T-shaped structure, and a sliding groove for cooperating with the sliding rail 21 is arranged on the limiting block 61.

[0043] An installation groove 211 for installing the limiting mechanism 62 is arranged on the sliding rail 21. The limiting mechanism 62 includes a spring 621 with one end arranged at the bottom of the installation groove 211 and a limiting seat 622 arranged at the other end of the spring 621. A clamping groove 611 for the limiting seat 622 to be embedded is arranged at the bottom of the limiting block 61. When the central axes of the clamping groove 611 and the installation groove 211 coincide, part of the limiting seat 622 will be embedded into the clamping groove 611 under the action of the spring 621. At this time, the limiting block 61 straddles the second forceps handle 20 and the second chuck 40, and the outward rotation of the second chuck 40 can be restricted. When it is not necessary to restrict the rotation of the second chuck 40, the limiting seat 622 is pressed into the clamping groove 611, and the limiting block 61 can be slid, so that the limiting block 61 is completely located on the sliding rail 21 of the second forceps handle 20. At the same time, due to the action of the spring 621, the upper end surface of the limiting seat 622 only abuts against the limiting block 61, which can prevent the limiting block 61 from sliding by itself.

[0044] For details, please refer to Figure 7 , a resistance layer 6221 is further provided on the end face of the limit seat 622 away from the spring 621. Through the resistance layer 6221, the movement of the limit block 61 can be better prevented, and the limit block 61 can be manually slid.

[0045] For details, please refer to Figure 3 , the limit assembly 60 further includes a button 63 provided on the limit block 61 and slidably connected to the limit block 61. The button 63 is provided corresponding to the card slot 611 for ejecting the limit seat 622 located in the card slot 611, and after ejection, the limit seat 622 is completely located in the installation slot 211. At this time, the limit block 61 can slide, and manual operation can be used during sliding. The button 63 is located below in the card slot 611 and extends above to the end face of the limit block 61. In order to better eject the limit seat 622 just right, a limit cap 631 is further provided on the top of the button 63. A connection hole communicating with the card slot 611 and having an inner diameter smaller than that of the card slot 611 is provided on the limit block 61. The button 63 is slidably connected to the connection hole, and the top extends out of the connection hole and is connected to the limit cap 631. The limit cap 631 is locked to the top of the button 63 by a screw. Press the limit cap 631 on the button 63 so that the bottom of the button 63 just ejects the resistance layer 6221 or the limit seat 622 out of the card slot 611.

[0046] The working principle of the clamping device of the present utility model is as follows:

[0047] When it is necessary to clamp a lithium metal sheet on a horizontal tabletop or a lithium metal sheet in a container at a relatively high position, slide the limit block 61 and make the upper part of the limit seat 622 embed in the card slot 611, which can limit the rotation of the second chuck 40. During clamping, no external force needs to be applied, and the first chuck 30 can be used to shovel up and clamp.

[0048] When it is necessary to clamp a lithium metal sheet in a container at a low position, especially when there is not much lithium metal sheet left, or when it is necessary to install the clamped lithium metal sheet into a relatively narrow position, press the button 63, the resistance layer 6221 or the limit seat 622 is ejected out of the card slot 611, manually slide the limit block 61, and after sliding in place, the end face of the resistance layer 6221 or the end face of the limit seat 622 abuts against the limit block 61 to prevent the limit block 61 from sliding by itself. At this time, the second chuck 40 can rotate outwards, apply pressure to the first chuck 30, and drive the second chuck 40 to rotate. Due to the action of the inclined surface, the first chuck 30 can shovel up the lithium metal sheet, or apply pressure to the first chuck 30 to facilitate better placing the lithium metal sheet in a relatively narrow space.

[0049] In summary, the clamping device of the present utility model is provided with a rotatable first chuck and a second chuck, so that the first chuck and the second chuck can form an angle with the two tweezer handles, which is convenient for clamping lithium metal flakes from a container, preventing the lithium metal flakes from being scratched during the clamping process or preventing the lithium metal flakes from bending during the clamping process. Moreover, when the second chuck is restricted from rotating outwards by the limiting block, the clamping device can be used as a conventional tweezer.

[0050] The present utility model has been described exemplarily above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present utility model is not limited by the above-mentioned manner. As long as various non-substantive improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the present utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
