[0032] The following description of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, is provided to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the present invention as defined in the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to assist understanding, but these details should be construed as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, descriptions of directions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0034] It will be understood that when one element (e.g., a first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., a second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element or an intervening element (e.g., a third element) may be present between the element and the other element.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention provides a clamp that can stably clamp the housing, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a base plate 110, a vertical plate 120, an opening positioning assembly 200, a support assembly 300, a limit assembly 400, a clamping assembly 500, an end cap positioning assembly 600, and a pressing assembly 700. The base plate 110 is placed horizontally, and the vertical plate 120 is placed vertically. The vertical plate 120 is fixed to one end of the base plate 110. Due to the large size of the end cap 12, it is also arranged vertically. The vertically arranged vertical plate 120 can adapt to the structure of the end cap 12 to more stably clamp the end cap 12. The opening positioning assembly 200 is fixed to the other end of the base plate 110, near the opening on the housing. The opening positioning assembly 200 is used to locate the opening on the housing.

[0036] The support assembly 300, the limiting assembly 400 and the clamping assembly 500 are all fixed on the base plate 110. Since the bottom of the shell is irregular, it cannot be placed directly on the base plate 110. The support assembly 300 is used to support the main shell 11 of the shell. The limiting assembly 400 is used to limit the movement of the main shell 11 of the shell to both sides, and can effectively position the shell before other components are moved. The clamping assembly 500 is used to clamp and fix the main shell 11 of the shell to keep the shell stable. The end positioning assembly 600 and the pressing assembly 700 are both fixed on the vertical plate 120. The end positioning assembly 600 is used to position the end 12 of the shell, and the pressing assembly 700 is used to press and fix the end 12 of the shell.

[0037] In this embodiment, the end positioning assembly 600 and the pressing assembly 700 are fixed on the vertical plate 120, which can adapt to the structural characteristics of the end 12. At the same time, the shell is stably clamped through the cooperation of the hole positioning assembly 200, the support assembly 300, the limit assembly 400, the clamping assembly 500, the end positioning assembly 600 and the pressing assembly 700, thereby using multiple means to achieve the clamping of the shell to cope with the shell of complex structure, ensuring that the shell can be processed smoothly later.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the opening positioning assembly 200 includes a positioning rod 210 and a positioning rod driving mechanism 220 connected to the positioning rod 210. The positioning rod driving mechanism 220 is used to drive the positioning rod 210 to move in a direction parallel to the base plate 110, so that the positioning rod 210 can be inserted into the opening of the housing and can be withdrawn from the opening of the housing. After the positioning rod 210 is inserted into the opening of the housing, the housing can be positioned so that the section of the main housing 11 provided with the opening is not easily shaken.

[0039] Furthermore, positioning rod 210 includes a guide portion 211 and an insertion portion 212. Insertion portion 212 is located in front of and connected to guide portion 211. The outer diameter of guide portion 211 gradually decreases as it is inserted forward, and insertion portion 212 is configured to be inserted into the opening of the housing. Due to the gradually decreasing outer diameter of guide portion 211, the inner wall of the opening is guided to gradually adhere to the surface of guide portion 211 during insertion into the opening, thereby ensuring that positioning rod 210 is stably inserted into the opening.

[0040] Furthermore, the hole positioning assembly 200 also includes a support block 240 fixed on the base plate 110. The support block 240 is used to support the shell so that the end of the main shell 11 with the hole remains stable, making it easier for the positioning rod 210 to be inserted into the hole.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hole positioning assembly 200 may further include a guide seat 230 having a guide hole therethrough, and the positioning rod 210 is disposed in the guide hole and can move along the guide hole to guide the movement of the positioning rod 210. The positioning rod driving mechanism 220 may include a cylinder.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the terminal positioning assembly 600 includes a plurality of positioning blocks 610 , which are arranged around the outer side of the terminal 12 of the housing and abut against the terminal 12 to position the terminal 12 from all sides and limit the terminal 12 from sliding in a direction parallel to the vertical plate 120 .

[0043] Furthermore, the end positioning assembly 600 also includes a positioning column 620. A plurality of sockets are reserved on the end 12. The positioning column 620 is used to be inserted into the sockets on the end to further position the end 12 and further limit sliding in a direction parallel to the vertical plate 120.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the pressing assembly 700 includes a pressure rod 710, a pressure rod driving mechanism 720 and a support rod 730. The pressure rod driving mechanism 720 is connected to the pressure rod 710, and the support rod 730 is fixed on the vertical plate 120. The pressure rod driving mechanism 720 is used to drive the pressure rod 710 to move toward the support rod 730 to press the end head 12 tightly against the support rod 730, which is equivalent to the pressure rod 710 and the support rod 730 clamping the fixed end head 12.

[0045] The pressure rod driving mechanism 720 may include a pressure rod driver and a connecting rod mechanism, and the pressure rod driver may include an oil cylinder. Since the structure of the shell is relatively complex and its surface does not have a large flat surface, the pressure rod 710 and the support rod 730 can stably clamp the shell and adapt to the structure of the shell surface.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 500 includes a first clamping jaw 510, a second clamping jaw 520, a first drive mechanism 530, and a second drive mechanism 540. The first clamping jaw 510 is connected to the first drive mechanism 530, and the second clamping jaw 520 is connected to the second drive mechanism 540. The first drive mechanism 530 and the second drive mechanism 540 are respectively used to drive the first clamping jaw 510 and the second clamping jaw 520 toward each other or away from each other. When the first clamping jaw 510 and the second clamping jaw 520 are moved toward each other, they can clamp and fix the main housing. When the first clamping jaw 510 and the second clamping jaw 520 are moved away from each other, they can release the main housing.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 300 includes several support blocks, which can support the main shell. In order to adapt to the structure of the supported part of the main shell, the top surface of the support block can be set in a groove that adapts to the main shell.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting assembly 400 includes two limiting plates, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the main shell to limit the movement of the main shell to both sides.

[0049] The terms and words used in the above description and claims are not limited to their literal meanings, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the above description of various embodiments of the present invention is provided for illustration only and is not intended to limit the present invention as defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
