Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamps, in particular to an electric clamp with an integrated slider. Background Art

[0002] In the field of industrial automation and robotics, electric grippers, as an important component that can clamp and move workpieces, have been widely used in multiple scenarios such as manufacturing, assembly, and material handling.

[0003] Because the jaws are in direct contact with the object being clamped, they are susceptible to wear due to frequent friction and pressure. This wear not only reduces the lifespan of the jaws and increases maintenance costs, but can also cause them to malfunction, impacting production efficiency and product quality. In these cases, the electric gripper is typically replaced entirely, resulting in higher costs. Some partially replaceable jaws are often secured with bolts, making disassembly more cumbersome.

[0004] For this purpose, an electric clamping jaw with an integrated slide is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an electric gripper with an integrated slider includes a guide rail 1, the inner wall of the guide rail 1 is slidably connected to a slider 2, the front of the guide rail 1 is provided with a sliding control component 3 for driving the slider 2 to move, the left side of the top surface of the guide rail 1 and the top surface of the slider 2 are fixedly connected to a positioning seat 4, the inner walls of the two positioning seats 4 are movably connected to a clamping block 5, and the surface of the positioning seat 4 is provided with a locking mechanism 6 for limiting the clamping block 5. More specifically, through the operation of the sliding control component 3, the slider 2 can be controlled to slide along the inner wall of the guide rail 1, driving the two clamping blocks 5 to approach each other to achieve clamping of the object, and the clamping block 5 can be disassembled by releasing the limit of the clamping block 5 through the locking mechanism 6 and pulling the end of the clamping block 5 out from the interior of the positioning seat 4.

[0026] The sliding control assembly 3 includes a motor 301, and the motor 301 is fixedly mounted on the front of the guide rail 1. The output end of the motor 301 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 302, and the end of the rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 303. A rack 304 is integrally formed on the front of the slider 2, and the rack 304 is meshed with the driving gear 303. It should be noted that by driving the rotating shaft 302 to rotate through the motor 301, the driving gear 303 is driven to rotate, and the driving gear 303 will drive the rack 304 meshed with it to rotate, thereby controlling the slider 2 to slide along the inner wall of the guide rail 1. The rack 304 and the slider 2 are integrally formed and processed, which prevents the slider 2 and the rack 304 from sliding relative to each other during use, thereby ensuring clamping accuracy. In addition, the two parts of the slider 2 and the rack 304 are integrally formed and processed, which reduces processing costs.

[0027] The locking mechanism 6 includes a docking groove 601, and the docking groove 601 is opened on the opposite sides of the two positioning seats 4. The internal rotation of the positioning seat 4 is connected to a double-headed screw 602, and the surface of the double-headed screw 602 is threadedly connected to a connecting rod 603. The end of the connecting rod 603 is fixedly connected to an insert block 605. The two clamping jaws 5 are provided with a socket slot 606 on the sides away from each other, and the inner wall of the socket slot 606 is movably engaged with the insert block 605. A sliding groove 604 is opened through the inner wall of the docking groove 601, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 604 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 603. The locking mechanism 6 also includes a control component for driving the double-headed screw 602 to rotate. More specifically, the double-headed screw 602 is driven to rotate by the control component, and the connecting rod 603 is driven to slide along the inner wall of the slide groove 604 under the action of the thread, thereby controlling the insert block 605 to disengage from the inner wall of the socket slot 606, pulling the clamping jaw block 5 to one side to disengage from the inner wall of the docking groove 601, and the clamping jaw block 5 can be disassembled.

[0028] The control assembly includes a worm 607, which is rotatably connected to the positioning seat 4. A knob 608 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm 607. A worm gear 609 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the double-headed screw 602, and the worm gear 609 is meshed with the worm 607. It should be noted that by rotating the knob 608, the worm 607 is rotated, and the worm gear 609 meshed with it is rotated, thereby controlling the rotation of the double-headed screw 602.

[0029] A protective shell 7 is fixedly connected to the front of the guide rail 1, and the sliding control assembly 3 is located inside the protective shell 7. More specifically, by providing the protective shell 7, the sliding control assembly 3 is protected, thereby extending the service life of the sliding control assembly 3.

[0030] The left and right sides of the bottom of the guide rail 1 are fixedly connected with mounting ears 8. It should be noted that, by providing the mounting ears 8, it is convenient to mount the clamp on a required device, such as a robotic arm.

[0031] In summary: through the operation of the sliding control component 3, the slider 2 can be controlled to slide along the inner wall of the guide rail 1, driving the two clamping jaws 5 to approach each other to achieve clamping of the object. The limit of the clamping jaw block 5 is released by the locking mechanism 6, and the end of the clamping jaw block 5 is pulled out from the inside of the positioning seat 4, and the clamping jaw block 5 can be disassembled. During use, the clamping part of the clamp is quickly disassembled. When it is worn, the part can be quickly replaced, which is more convenient to use and maintain. The individual replacement of parts also reduces the cost of using the clamp.

[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions merely illustrate the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
