[0021] The embodiment of the present application effectively solves the above-mentioned clamp by providing a clamp for fast and precise positioning and clamping of CNC automated processing of hardware. It is necessary to manually rotate two threaded rods to make the movable clamping plate slide to clamp the workpiece. Manual rotation of the threaded rod not only has a low degree of automation but also has a slow speed. The first distance sensor detects the position of the workpiece to control the stepper motor to rotate forward and reverse, so that the threaded rod rotates to push the sliding clamp to clamp the workpiece, achieving the effect of being able to clamp the workpiece quickly and automatically. The stepper motor drives the transmission rod to rotate through a spur gear set, and the transmission rod then drives the threaded rod to rotate simultaneously through two bevel gear sets, so that the force on both sides of the sliding clamp is evenly distributed, so that the pressure applied by the sliding clamp to clamp the workpiece is balanced. At the same time, the second distance sensor can stop the stepper motor in time after it is close to the workpiece, avoiding excessive pressure on the workpiece, and achieving the effect of accurately clamping the position and preventing the workpiece from being clamped and deformed.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application effectively solves the technical problem that the above-mentioned clamp needs to manually rotate the two threaded rods to slide the movable clamping plate to clamp the workpiece, and the manual rotation of the threaded rods not only has a low degree of automation but also is slow. The overall idea is as follows:

[0024] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a fixture for fast and precise positioning and clamping of CNC automated processing of hardware, including a clamping seat 1, a sliding splint 2, a threaded rod 3, a pull sleeve 4, a first distance sensor 5, a second distance sensor 6, a stepping motor 7, a spur gear set 8, a transmission rod 9, a bevel gear set 11, a control box 12, a rubber pad 13 and a spring 14. The sliding splint 2 is slidably installed on the clamping seat 1, the threaded rod 3 is symmetrically rotationally installed on both sides of the clamping seat 1, and the pull sleeve 4 is slidably installed on the side end of the clamping seat 1.

[0025] The first distance sensor 5 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the pull sleeve 4; the sliding splint 2 and the threaded rod 3 are threadedly connected, the spring 14 is installed between the clamping seat 1 and the pull sleeve 4, the second distance sensor 6 is fixedly mounted on the sliding splint 2, the stepping motor 7 is fixedly mounted on the side end of the clamping seat 1, and the transmission rod 9 is rotatably mounted on the side end of the clamping seat 1.

[0026] The spur gear set 8 is installed at the connection between the stepper motor 7 and the transmission rod 9, the bevel gear set 11 is installed at the connection between the threaded rod 3 and the transmission rod 9, and the control box 12 is fixedly installed on the side end of the clamping seat 1; the control box 12 is connected to the first distance sensor 5, the second distance sensor 6 and the stepper motor 7 through wires, and the rubber pad 13 is installed on the side ends of the clamping seat 1 and the sliding splint 2.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] In the first step, the control box 12 is equipped with an STM32 single-chip microcomputer. The first distance sensor 5 and the second distance sensor 6 are inductive distance sensors. The magnetic field is generated by the internal coil. When the metal object approaches the magnetic field, eddy currents are generated on the surface of the object, thereby affecting the inductance value of the coil. By measuring the change in the inductance value, the distance between the object and the sensor can be determined. The workpiece to be clamped is placed on the clamping seat 1 so that the workpiece is close to the first distance sensor 5. When the first distance sensor 5 detects that the workpiece is close, it will send an electrical signal to the control box 12, and the control box 12 will control the stepper motor 7 to rotate counterclockwise. The stepper motor 7 will drive the transmission rod 9 to rotate clockwise through the spur gear set 8, and the transmission rod 9 will drive the two threaded rods 3 to rotate through the bevel gear set 11. Since the threaded rod 3 is threadedly connected to the sliding clamp 2, the rotation of the threaded rod 3 will cause the sliding clamp 2 to slide on the clamping seat 1, and the sliding clamp 2 will clamp the workpiece by sliding. When the second distance sensor 6 slides close to the workpiece as the sliding clamp 2 slides, it will send an electrical signal to the control box 12 to stop the stepper motor 7 from rotating. The two rubber pads 13 clamp the workpiece from both sides, which can increase friction and also have a buffering effect.

[0029] In the second step, when the workpiece is processed, pull the sleeve 4 so that the sleeve 4 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 14 and slides to the side end. The sliding of the sleeve 4 can make the first distance sensor 5 away from the workpiece surface. The first distance sensor 5 detects that the workpiece is away and will send an electrical signal to the control box 12. The control box 12 will control the stepper motor 7 to rotate clockwise. The stepper motor 7 will drive the transmission rod 9 to rotate counterclockwise through the spur gear set 8. The transmission rod 9 will drive the two threaded rods 3 to reverse through the bevel gear set 11, thereby dragging the sliding splint 2 to reset, and the workpiece can be taken out. After taking out the workpiece, release the sleeve 4. The sleeve 4 will reset under the elastic force of the spring 14, and the next workpiece can be placed for processing.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above description are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
