A sliding groove 14 is formed on the lower end surface of each fixing plate 10, and a clamping device is provided in each sliding groove 14.

[0026] As Figures 1-5 shown, the implementation manner is specifically as follows: By setting the motor 13, the clamping device, and the second cylinder 4, the motor 13 can drive the double-headed threaded rod 15 to rotate. By using the rotation of the double-headed threaded rod 15, the slider 16 and the clamping plate 11 can be driven to clamp articles of different sizes. By starting the second cylinder 4, the fixed plate 10 can be driven to expand and contract, so that the clamping device can clamp articles of different heights. Devices such as the driving device, the rotating device, the clamping device, and the limiting rod 17 and the fixed plate 10 are provided. By using the driving device, the rotating device can be driven to rotate, so that the fixed plate 10 can drive the clamping device to rotate synchronously, achieving the purpose of automatically flipping the clamping device and the articles clamped by the clamping device.

[0027] The driving device includes a first cylinder 2, and the first cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the mounting base 1. The output shaft of the first cylinder 2 penetrates through the upper end surface of the mounting base 1 and is extended with a mounting block 5. A limiting groove 6 is provided on the mounting block 5. Two racks 7 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the mounting block 5, and the two racks 7 are respectively connected to the output ends of the rotating devices. The second cylinder 4 can drive the mounting block 5 to expand and contract.

[0028] Each rotating device includes a fixed shaft 8, and the fixed shaft 8 is rotatably installed on one side of the mounting plate 3. A gear 9 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixed shaft 8 away from the mounting plate 3, and the gear 9 meshes with the corresponding rack 7. A second cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the gear 9. By using the movement of the rack 7, the gear 9 can be driven to rotate. By the rotation of the gear 9, the second cylinder 4 can be driven to rotate synchronously, and the fixed plate 10 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second cylinder 4. The second cylinder 4 can drive the fixed plate 10 to expand and contract.

[0029] The clamping device includes a double-headed threaded rod 15, and the double-headed threaded rod 15 is installed on the inner side wall of the sliding groove 14 through a bearing. The double-headed threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected with two sliders 16, and the two sliders 16 are slidably clamped in the sliding groove 14. A clamping plate 11 is fixedly installed on the lower end surface of each slider 16. It should be noted that: the two sliders 16 are respectively threadedly connected to two opposite threads of the double-headed threaded rod 15.

[0030] The clamping plate 11 is made of rubber material. It should be noted that: such a design can prevent the clamping plate 11 from damaging the articles to be clamped.

[0031] An installation frame 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed plate 10. A motor 13 is fixedly installed on the installation frame 12, and the output shaft of the motor 13 penetrates through one side of the fixed plate 10 and is fixedly connected to one end of the double-headed threaded rod 15.

By using the contact between the top and bottom walls of the limiting rod 17 and the limiting groove 6, the maximum stroke of the mounting block 5 can be limited. The limiting rod 17 is made of rubber. It should be noted that: the rubber material can prevent the limiting rod 17 from damaging the mounting block 5 when the limiting rod 17 contacts the mounting block 5.

[0033] When the present utility model is in use, first start the motor 13. The output shaft of the motor 13 can drive the double-headed threaded rod 15 fixedly connected thereto to rotate.

[0034] By starting the first cylinder 2, the output shaft of the first cylinder 2 can drive the mounting block 5 to expand and contract. Through the movement of the mounting block 5, the two racks 7 fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting block 5 can be driven to move synchronously. The limiting rod 17 can limit the mounting block 5 to prevent the mounting block 5 from over-expanding and contracting under the expansion and contraction of the first cylinder 2. Subsequently, through the movement of the rack 7, the gear 9 engaged therewith can be driven to rotate. At this time, through the rotation of the gear 9, the fixed shaft 8 fixedly connected with the gear 9 can be driven to rotate on the mounting plate 3. At the same time, the rotation of the gear 9 can drive the second cylinder 4 to rotate synchronously.

Subsequently, the motor 13 can be reversed. The output shaft of the motor 13 will drive the double-headed threaded rod 15 to rotate. Subsequently, the double-headed threaded rod 15 can drive the sliders 16 threadedly connected thereto to move away from each other. Subsequently, the clamping plate 11 can follow the displacement of the slider 16. At this time, the article clamped by the clamping plate 11 can be released.
