DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following describes the implementation of the present application through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification.

[0024] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of this application. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by this application. At the same time, terms such as "front", "back", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of this application. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of this application without substantially changing the technical content.

[0025] It should be noted that the number of clamps in the existing clamping equipment manipulator is limited. Usually, one manipulator has three clamps. The connection between the manipulator and the clamp is a fixed connection, which is difficult to disassemble. Due to the large number of production demands for machine models and the different sizes of parts of different models, a single clamping device cannot meet the production needs of multiple models. The existing manipulator and clamps are difficult to disassemble and assemble. If the production line needs to meet the production of multiple models, it takes time to disassemble and replace the clamps. This requires increasing the number of manipulators and setting up different production lines to meet production needs. However, adding production lines with clamping equipment takes up a lot of space, and when changing the production model, the line needs to be changed, which greatly affects production efficiency.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present application exemplarily provides a mounting structure for a clamping device, wherein the clamping device includes a fixture and a manipulator for clamping parts for production, and the mounting structure includes:

[0027] A female end seat 1, one end of which is connected to the manipulator, and an assembly hole 2 is provided at the other end of the female end seat 1, and a limiting structure 13 is provided on the hole wall of the assembly hole 2;

[0028] The male end seat includes a first positioning plate 6 and an assembly column 3 connected to each other. The male end seat is connected to the fixture through the first positioning plate 6. The assembly column 3 matches the assembly hole 2. The assembly column 3 is connected to the side of the first positioning plate 6 close to the female end seat 1. The side of the first positioning plate 6 away from the female end seat 1 is connected to the fixture. A limiting groove 5 matching the limiting structure 13 is opened on the assembly column 3 along the circumference;

[0029] The assembly column 3 extends into the assembly hole 2, and the limiting structure 13 is clamped on the limiting groove 5 to connect the female end seat 1 with the male end seat.

[0030] In the installation structure provided in the present application, the female end seat 1 and the male end seat of the installation structure are respectively connected to the manipulator and the clamp, the assembly column 3 of the male end seat extends into the assembly hole 2 of the female end seat 1, and the limiting structure 13 of the female end seat 1 is clamped on the limiting groove 5 of the male end seat to realize the connection between the female end seat 1 and the male end seat. The installation structure can quickly complete the disassembly and assembly of the manipulator and the clamp, thereby improving the versatility of the clamping equipment. When it is necessary to change the production model, it can be quickly disassembled and the clamp can be replaced on the manipulator to realize the rapid installation of the clamp without changing the production line, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the end of the assembly column 3 is the limiting end 4, and a step structure is formed between the limiting end 4 and the assembly column 3. The assembly hole 2 is a blind hole, and a limiting hole 15 is provided at the bottom of the assembly hole 2. The limiting hole 15 is a blind hole. When the limiting structure 13 is clamped on the limiting groove 5, the limiting end 4 extends into the limiting hole 15. Specifically, the limiting end 4 is a square structure, and the limiting hole 15 is a square hole structure. When the assembly column 3 extends into the assembly hole 2, the limiting end 4 extends into the limiting hole 15 to limit the assembly column 3, preventing the female end seat 1 and the male end seat from rotating during assembly, thereby affecting the assembly effect. The step structure formed between the limiting end 4 and the assembly column 3 limits the extension stroke of the assembly column 3, ensuring that after the assembly column 3 is extended, the limiting structure 13 can be accurately clamped on the limiting groove 5.

[0032] See also Figure 3 In an optional embodiment, a guide column 21 and a guide sleeve 22 are provided on the limiting hole 15, and the guide sleeve 22 is at least partially sleeved on the guide column 21. A first elastic member 23 is also sleeved on the guide column 21, and the two ends of the first elastic member 23 are respectively abutted against the guide sleeve 22 and the bottom of the limiting hole 15. When the limiting end 4 extends into the limiting hole 15, the limiting end 4 contacts the guide sleeve 22 and presses the first elastic member 23. Specifically, the first elastic member 23 is pressed by the limiting end 4 and the guide sleeve 22. After the first elastic member 23 is subjected to pressure, the limiting end 4 is pushed out in the reverse direction, so that the limiting structure 13 is clamped on the limiting groove 5 to prevent the female end seat 1 and the male end seat from loosening after assembly.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, in an optional embodiment, the limiting hole 15 passes through the female end seat 1 from the bottom of the assembly hole 2, and the limiting hole 15 includes a first section 18 and a second section 19. A guide member 16 is provided on the limiting hole 15, and a limiting portion 17 is provided on the guide member 16. A second elastic member 20 is provided on the first section 18 of the limiting hole 15, and the two ends of the second elastic member 20 are respectively abutted against the limiting portion 17 and the bottom of the second section 19 of the limiting hole 15. When the limiting end 4 extends into the limiting hole 15, the limiting end 4 contacts the guide member 16 and drives the limiting portion 17 to press the second elastic member 20. Specifically, through the contact between the limiting end 4 and the guide member 16, the limiting portion 17 presses the second elastic member 20. After the second elastic member 20 is subjected to pressure, it pushes the limiting end 4 out in the reverse direction, so that the limiting structure 13 is clamped on the limiting groove 5 to prevent the female end seat 1 and the male end seat from loosening after assembly.

[0034] In this embodiment, a mounting position 14 for accommodating the limiting structure 13 is opened on the hole wall of the assembly hole 2, and the mounting position 14 matches the limiting structure 13. The limiting structure 13 at least partially protrudes radially from the hole wall of the assembly hole 2 at the mounting position 14 and blocks the extending direction of the assembly column 3.

[0035] In detail, such as Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a limit baffle 8 is provided on the female end seat 1, and the limit baffle 8 is formed along the circumference of the female end seat 1 to form an annular structure. The inner wall of the limit baffle 8 is provided with a boss 12, and the boss 12 is in contact with the outer wall of the female end seat 1 and covers the installation position 14. The boss 12 covers the installation position 14, so that the limit structure 13 protrudes from the hole wall of the assembly hole 2 to the installation position 14 in the radial direction and blocks the extension direction of the assembly column 3. A third elastic member 9 is sleeved on the female end seat 1, and the two ends of the third elastic member 9 are respectively abutted between the boss 12 and the female end seat 1, and the limit baffle 8 It can move axially on the female end seat 1 to tighten or loosen the third elastic member 9. When the assembly column 3 extends into the assembly hole 2, the limiting baffle 8 presses the third elastic member 9 to open the installation position 14. The assembly column 3 squeezes the limiting structure 13 and pushes the limiting structure 13 out of the installation position 14 toward the outer wall of the female end seat 1. The limiting structure 13 protrudes from the outer wall of the female end seat 1. The limiting baffle 8 is reset by the third elastic member 9. The boss 12 squeezes and pushes the limiting structure 13 back from the outer wall of the female end seat 1. The limiting structure 13 protrudes from the hole wall of the assembly hole 2 again, thereby clamping the limiting structure 13 on the limiting groove 5.

[0036] See also Figure 2The boss 12 is pressed from the outer wall of the female end seat 1 and pushes back the limiting structure 13, and the boss 12 covers the installation position 14 again, so that the limiting structure 13 is stuck on the limiting groove 5, and the assembly is completed.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the limiting structure 13 is a limiting ring 26, and the mounting position 14 is an annular groove 24 opened on the wall of the assembly hole 2. The limiting ring 26 is set on the annular groove 24 through the fourth elastic member 25. Specifically, the circumference of the limiting ring 26 is an arc structure. When the female end seat 1 and the male end seat are assembled, the assembly column 3 extends into the assembly hole 2, and the limiting column squeezes the limiting ring 26. The limiting ring 26 presses the fourth elastic member 25. After the assembly column 3 is restricted to stop moving by the step structure formed between the limiting end 4 and the assembly column 3, the limiting ring 26 is pushed out and reset by the fourth elastic member 25, and the limiting ring 26 is clamped on the mounting position 14 to complete the assembly.

[0038] In this embodiment, the female end seat 1 is provided with a second positioning plate 7 at one end close to the male end seat, a positioning pin 10 is provided on the first positioning plate 6, and a positioning hole 11 is provided on the second positioning plate 7. When the assembly column 3 extends into the assembly hole 2, the positioning pin 10 extends into the positioning hole 11. Through the cooperation of the positioning pin 10 and the positioning hole 11, the female end seat 1 and the male end seat are positioned when assembled to ensure accurate assembly.

[0039] In another embodiment, the present application also provides a clamping device, which includes a clamp and a manipulator for clamping parts for production. The clamping device also includes the above-mentioned mounting structure.

[0040] In summary, in the clamping device provided in the present application, the female end seat 1 and the male end seat of the mounting structure are connected to the manipulator and the clamp respectively, the assembly column 3 of the male end seat extends into the assembly hole 2 of the female end seat 1, and the limiting structure 13 of the female end seat 1 is clamped on the limiting groove 5 of the male end seat to realize the connection between the female end seat 1 and the male end seat.
