[0002] Excavators are commonly used in fields such as engineering construction, resource development, disaster relief and rescue, etc., and can replace manual labor to carry out various tasks. As an important construction machinery, the fixture at one end of the excavator arm is usually called "excavator grab", "excavator clamp", "excavator gripper", etc., and is selected according to the grabbing object. Among them, the X-type fixture is a commonly used gripper for excavators. When the X-type fixture is connected and installed with the excavator, the arm hole position is usually aligned with the X-type fixture hole position, and then two pin bearings are inserted into the hole positions and fixed, so as to complete the quick disassembly and assembly. The quick-release docking method is beneficial to switching functional fixtures. However, when the X-type fixture is in use, due to the fixed size of the claw plate, the fixture can only grab objects of corresponding sizes. When the diameter of the object is large, it is difficult to grab, and the flexibility is insufficient, making it difficult to meet the work with changing situations. Summary of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] See also Figures 1 - 5, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: It includes a mounting plate 1, a quick-release hanging ear plate 11, a lower support ear 12, and a hydraulic telescopic rod 13. Two clamping plates 2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower support ear 12. Two and three relief notches 21 are respectively formed on the two clamping plates 2. A telescopic clamp 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the relief notch 21. Claw heads 221 are installed at one ends of the five telescopic clamps 22. The claw heads 221 are in contact with one end of the corresponding clamping plate 2. Gears 3 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two clamping plates 2. The gears 3 are meshed with one side of the corresponding telescopic clamp 22, and the telescopic clamp 22 controls the clamping range of the clamping plate 2.

[0018] In this implementation scheme: The device is quickly installed and disassembled with the excavator manipulator through the quick-release hanging ear plate 11 and the pin bearing. The mounting plate 1 plays a connecting role between the quick-release hanging ear plate 11 and the lower support ear 12. The lower support ear 12 supports the clamping plates 2. The two hydraulic telescopic rods 13 drive the two clamping plates 2, enabling the two clamping plates 2 to perform rotational swinging operations. One of the clamping plates 2 is a two-claw plate, and the other clamping plate 2 is a three-claw plate. When the two clamping plates 2 are combined, they are mutually engaged using the notches to form an X-shaped fixture for clamping and transferring materials. Both of the two clamping plates 2 yield to the corresponding telescopic clamps 22 through the relief notches 21 on themselves. The telescopic clamps 22 are flush with the side wall of the clamping side of the corresponding clamping plate 2. The telescopic clamps 22 correspond to the center of the corresponding clamping plate 2. When the telescopic clamps 22 slide on the inner wall of the relief notch 21, the telescopic clamps 22 can extend beyond one end of the clamping plate 2, enabling the telescopic clamps 22 to expand the clamping range of the clamping plate 2. Moreover, the telescopic clamps 22 always remain flush with the clamping plate 2, realizing that the telescopic clamps 22 and the clamping plate 2 share the force together, improving the stability during use. The telescopic clamps 22 support the corresponding claw heads 221. It is convenient to grab materials using the claw heads 221 at the initial stage. The materials are shoveled to the inner side of the arc of the clamping plate 2 and the telescopic clamps 22. The claw heads 221 follow the adjustment as the position of the telescopic clamps 22 on the clamping plate 2 changes. Both of the two clamping plates 2 adjust the position of the telescopic clamps 22 through the internal gears 3. By controlling the rotation of the gears 3, the gears 3 are engaged with the clamping plates 2, and the position of the gears 3 cannot change, enabling the telescopic clamps 22 to slide and adjust in the inner and outer directions of the relief notch 21, thereby adjusting the length of the claws formed by the combination of the clamping plate 2 and the telescopic clamps 22. When the grabbed object is larger and exceeds the load capacity of the clamping plate 2 itself, the telescopic clamps 22 are controlled to extend outwards from the relief notch 21, expanding the clamping range of the clamping plate 2 and the telescopic clamps 22, and thus facilitating the clamping and transferring work of larger objects. It is flexible in use and can meet the work with changing situations.

[0019] There are two connecting rods 23 arranged in each of the two gripper plates 2. The connecting rods 23 are fixedly connected between the corresponding two or three telescopic grippers 22. A limiting chute 231 corresponding to the position of the connecting rod 23 is formed in the gripper plate 2, and the connecting rod 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding limiting chute 231. The two connecting rods 23 connect and fix the two or three telescopic grippers 22 in the corresponding gripper plate 2, so that the same group of telescopic grippers 22 can achieve synchronous position adjustment. The limiting chute 231 provides a sliding track for the connecting rod 23. The overall shape of the limiting chute 231 is an arc-shaped bend, and the limiting chute 231 is consistent with the axis position of the gripper plate 2, so that the telescopic gripper 22 can always be flush with the gripper plate 2, and the telescopic gripper 22 can be stressed together with the gripper plate 2.

[0020] One side of the gear 3 is fixedly connected with a driving tube 31. The driving tube 31 is flush with one side of the gripper plate 2. Inner hexagonal through holes are provided in both the gear 3 and the driving tube 31. The driving tube 31 is communicated with the external environment. The inner hexagonal through holes inside the driving tube 31 and the gear 3 facilitate the staff to rotate and drive the gear 3 through tools such as hexagonal rods.

[0021] An inner groove 24 is formed in the gripper plate 2. A hexagonal limiting rod 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the gear 3. One end of the hexagonal limiting rod 32 is fixedly connected with a limiting disc 321. The limiting disc 321 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding inner groove 24. A return spring 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 24. The return spring 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting disc 321. The inner groove 24 guides and limits the sliding of the hexagonal limiting rod 32 and the limiting disc 321. The return spring 25 pushes the hexagonal limiting rod 32, so that the hexagonal limiting rod 32 can be inserted into the gear 3 and the driving tube 31, and then the hexagonal limiting rod 32 can limit the gear 3 and the driving tube 31, preventing the gear 3 from rotating again after the position adjustment of the telescopic gripper 22 by the gear 3. The gear 3 drives the telescopic gripper 22 to be limited, so that the position of the telescopic gripper 22 remains fixed and does not slide. At the same time, the hexagonal limiting rod 32 fills the through hole in the driving tube 31 to prevent external impurities from entering the driving tube 31. If impurities enter accidentally, the return spring 25 pushes the hexagonal limiting rod 32 to slide, so that the hexagonal limiting rod 32 can push out the entering impurities. The limiting disc 321 limits the hexagonal limiting rod 32 to prevent the hexagonal limiting rod 32 from detaching from the gripper plate 2.

[0022] One end of the hexagonal limiting rod 32 is fixedly connected to a spherical crown plate 322, and a plurality of spherical rolling bodies 33 are provided on the side wall of the gear 3, and the plurality of spherical rolling bodies 33 are slidably connected to the corresponding inner wall of the grab plate 2; when the gear 3 is driven to rotate, the worker holds the hexagonal tool knife and inserts it into the driving tube 31, and the tool contacts and squeezes the spherical crown plate 322. The spherical crown plate 322 can reduce the friction between the tool and the hexagonal limiting rod 32, and then when the tool pushes the hexagonal limiting rod 32 out of the internal through hole of the gear 3, the hexagonal limiting rod 32 no longer limits the gear 3, and then the tool drives the gear 3 to rotate, so that the telescopic grip 22 is adjusted in position, and when the gear 3 rotates, it drives the plurality of spherical rolling bodies 33 to rotate and slide, thereby reducing the movement resistance between the gear 3 and the inside of the grab plate 2, which is beneficial to the driving work of the gear 3 on the telescopic grip 22.

[0023] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when the object to be transferred is large and exceeds the load capacity of the grab plate 2 itself, the worker holds the hexagonal tool knife and inserts it into the drive tube 31, and the tool contacts and squeezes the ball crown plate 322. The ball crown plate 322 can reduce the friction between the tool and the hexagonal limiting rod 32, and then when the tool pushes the hexagonal limiting rod 32 out of the internal through hole of the gear 3, the hexagonal limiting rod 32 no longer limits the gear 3, and then the tool drives the gear 3 to rotate, and the gear 3 meshes with the grab plate 2, and the position of the gear 3 is fixed and cannot be changed, so that the grab plate 2 can be realized The sliding adjustment in the inward and outward directions of the clearance gap 21 can adjust the claw length of the combination of the grasping plate 2 and the telescopic grasping 22, and then the tool is pulled outward to rotate and fine-tune the gear 3 so that the hexagonal limit rod 32 can re-enter the gear 3. The hexagonal limit rod 32 limits the gear 3 and the driving tube 31 to prevent the gear 3 from rotating, so that the position of the telescopic grasping 22 remains fixed and does not slide. When used subsequently, the grasping range of the grasping plate 2 and the telescopic grasping 22 is expanded, which makes it easier to clamp and transfer larger objects. It is flexible to use and can meet the needs of work in changing situations.
