Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of clamps, and in particular relates to a telescopic clamping device for a switch. Background Art

[0002] A switch is a computer network device used to connect multiple network devices within a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), enabling high-speed data exchange between devices within the LAN and improving network transmission efficiency and speed. On a switch production line, switches are larger and heavier than electronic devices (such as mobile phones and tablets). Therefore, using pneumatic cylinders to grip and transport switches can easily cause them to fall, making them impossible to transport. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a telescopic clamping device for a switch to solve the technical defects described in the background art.

[0004] The telescopic clamping device of the switch includes a transport mechanism that cooperates with a conveyor line. The conveyor line is used to transport products to a processing station. The transport mechanism drives a pillar that can be raised and lowered and moved horizontally and vertically. A support plate is installed on the pillar. Both sides of the support plate are provided with a load-bearing frame for descending to the sides of the product. The load-bearing frame is installed with a telescopic guide rail and a first-level cylinder. A support plate slides on the telescopic guide rail. The first-level cylinder drives the support plate to move under both sides of the product.

[0005] According to the technical solution, the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0006] 1. When transporting products on the conveyor line, the transport mechanism drives the pillars to move the support plate, so that the carriers on both sides of the support plate move to the sides of the product. After that, the first-level cylinder drives the support plate to move under the two sides of the product. After that, the transport mechanism drives the pillars to move the support plate upward. At this time, the support plate lifts the product. Therefore, when transporting heavy products (such as switches), compared with using the thrust of the cylinder to clamp the product, the utility model can effectively prevent the product from accidentally falling and effectively avoid the product from being damaged by clamping;

[0007] 2. Since the utility model lifts the product by holding it up, it can effectively prevent the product from shifting when it is transported.

[0008] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, it can be optionally combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first-stage cylinder is transmission-connected to a first-stage push block, a second-stage cylinder is mounted on the first-stage push block, and the second-stage cylinder is transmission-connected to the support plate;

[0010] According to the technical solution, the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. After the first-stage cylinder pushes the first-stage push block to move the support plate for a certain distance, the second-stage cylinder pushes the support plate for another distance, so that the support plate can move to a position close to the center of the bottom of the product, thereby supporting the product more stably;

[0012] 2. Since the support plate is pushed to move in two stages by the first-stage cylinder and the second-stage cylinder, the support plate can be extended to a longer distance in a limited space.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support plate is equipped with a first position sensor, which is used to sense the distance between the support plate and another support plate or a specific part of the product;

[0014] According to the technical solution, the position where the support plate is extended can be adjusted according to the products of different sizes being transported, and the support plate can be accurately extended to the corresponding position under the product.

[0015] In some embodiments, the carrier is equipped with a fixed cylinder, which drives a pressing block for pressing down the product on the fixed support plate;

[0016] According to the technical solution, when transporting products, especially lighter products, the fixed cylinder drives the pressing block to press down on the product to fix the product, thereby preventing the product from shifting during transportation.

[0017] In some embodiments, the lower pressing block is provided with a pressure sensor;

[0018] According to the technical solution, when transporting products of different heights, the pressure sensor senses the pressure when the pressing block presses down on the product, and controls the fixed cylinder to drive the pressing block to press down, thereby avoiding damage to the product.

[0019] In some embodiments, the support plate is equipped with a motor and a support rail, the motor drives a transmission belt, the carrier is equipped with a slider and a clamping plate, the slider cooperates with the support rail, and the clamping plate is fixed to the transmission belt, so that the motor can drive the two carriers to move closer to or apart from each other;

[0020] According to the technical solution, after the carriers on both sides of the support plate move to the sides of the product, the motor drives the transmission belt to drive the two carriers closer to each other. At this time, the carriers are close to both sides of the product, so that when transporting the product, the product can be lifted more stably, the product can be better prevented from shifting, and products of different sizes can be lifted.

[0021] In some embodiments, the carrier is provided with a force-bearing frame that can extend below both sides of the product, and the telescopic guide rail and the first-stage cylinder are located on the force-bearing frame;

[0022] According to the technical solution, when the carrier is pressed against both sides of the product, the force-bearing frame extends to the bottom of both sides of the product, so as to provide auxiliary support to the product when the product is transported.

[0023] In some embodiments, the support plate is equipped with a second position sensor for sensing the position of the carrier;

[0024] According to the technical solution, the motor can accurately control the carrier to be close to the two side plates of the product. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, this specific embodiment further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this specific embodiment provides a switch telescopic clamping device, which includes a transport mechanism that cooperates with the conveyor line 1.

[0036] The conveyor line 1 is used to transport the product 11 to the processing station. When the conveyor line 1 transports the product 11, the center of the product 11 is located on the conveyor line 1, and both ends of the product 11 are exposed outside the conveyor line 1.

[0037] The transport mechanism drives a pillar 2 that can be raised and lowered, moved horizontally and vertically. The transport mechanism can drive the pillar 2 to be raised and lowered, moved horizontally and vertically by means of a cylinder assembly, a screw module or a chain module. A support plate 3 is installed on the pillar 2.

[0038] The support plate 3 is equipped with a motor 31, a supporting slide rail 32 and a second in-position sensor 36; the motor 31 drives a transmission belt 33; a carrier frame 4 is provided on both sides of the support plate 3, and the carrier frame 4 is equipped with a slider 34, a splint 35 and a fixed cylinder 6. The slider 34 cooperates with the supporting slide rail 32, and the splint 35 is fixed on the transmission belt 33, so that the motor 31 can drive the two carrier frames 4 to move closer to or open each other, and sense the second in-position sensor 36 of the position of the carrier frame 4. The second in-position sensor 36 can be an infrared distance sensor or a travel switch. The second in-position sensor 36 is used to sense the position of the carrier frame 4.

[0039] The carrier frame 4 is provided with a force-bearing frame 41 that can extend to the bottom of both sides of the product 11. The force-bearing frame 41 is installed with a telescopic guide rail 42 and a first-level cylinder 43. A support plate 5 slides on the telescopic guide rail 42. The first-level cylinder 43 is transmission-connected to a first-level push block 44. A second-level cylinder 45 is installed on the first-level push block 44. The second-level cylinder 45 is transmission-connected to the support plate 5. The first-level cylinder 43 and the second-level cylinder 45 are used to push the support plate 5 to the bottom of both sides of the product 11 to support the product 11. At this time, the force point of the supported product 11 is on the telescopic guide rail 42. Therefore, it is possible to transport products 11 weighing more than 50kg. In addition, since the first-level cylinder 43 and the second-level cylinder 45 are used to push the support plate 5 to move in multiple stages, the stroke of the support plate 5 can be 150-300mm. The supporting plate 5 is installed with a first in-place sensor 51, which is used to sense the distance between the supporting plate 5 and another supporting plate 5 or a specific part of the product 11. The first in-place sensor 51 can be an infrared distance sensor.

[0040] The fixed cylinder 6 drives a pressing block 61, which is used to press down the product 11 on the fixed support plate 5. The pressing block 61 can optionally be equipped with a pressure sensor to sense the pressure when the pressing block 61 presses down on the product 11. The primary cylinder 43, the secondary cylinder 45, and the fixed cylinder 6 can optionally be bidirectional cylinders.

[0041] The following is an instruction for using the telescopic clamping device for a switch.

[0042] When the product 11 on the conveyor line 1 is transported, the transport mechanism drives the pillar 2 to drive the support plate 3 to move, so that the carriers 4 on both sides of the support plate 3 move to the sides of the product 11; thereafter, the motor 31 drives the transmission belt 33 to move, and the transmission belt 33 drives the two carriers 4 to slide on the supporting slide rails 32. At this time, the two carriers 4 are close to each other and close to the two sides of the product 11, and the force-bearing frame 41 extends to the bottom of the two sides of the product 11; thereafter, the first-level cylinder 43 drives the supporting plate 5 to move a stroke by pushing the first-level pushing block 44, and the second-level cylinder 45 pushes the supporting plate 5 to move a stroke so that the supporting plate 5 can move to a position near the center of the bottom of the product 11; thereafter, the transport mechanism drives the pillar 2 to drive the support plate 3 to rise. At this time, the carrier 4 lifts the product 11 through the force-bearing frame 41 and the supporting plate 5. Subsequently, the transport mechanism drives the pillar 2 to drive the support plate 3 to move to transport the lifted product 11.
