DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Example: See Figures 1 to 6The cam 14 is connected with the support 14 of the control cabinet 1 and the support 15, and the cam 14 is connected with the support 15 of the control cabinet 1. The cam 14 is connected with the support 15 of the control cabinet 1.
[0027] When a user needs to clamp a plastic mold using the pneumatic clamping mechanism described above, air pump 9 first delivers compressed air through air pipe 8 into air inlet chamber 6. As the air pressure in air inlet chamber 6 gradually increases, piston 12 is pushed by the pressure, driving clamping rod 11 along partition block 5 toward air outlet chamber 7. Simultaneously, spring 15 within air inlet chamber 6 is compressed by abutment plate 18, storing elastic potential energy. The movement of clamping rod 11 causes clamping plate 13 to gradually approach and eventually contact and clamp the plastic mold placed on machine table 1, forcing the mold to abut against fixing plate 2 3 for clamping. When the user needs to release the plastic mold, the pressure reducing valve 10 is operated to reduce the air pressure in the air inlet chamber 6. As the air pressure drops, the piston 12 is no longer subjected to sufficient thrust. At this time, the spring 15 releases the stored elastic potential energy, pushing the abutment plate 18 and the clamping rod 11 to move in opposite directions. The clamping plate 13 then releases the mold, completing the mold release operation and improving the efficiency of the plastic mold clamping operation.
[0028] It is understandable that the spring 15 located in the air outlet cavity 7 is provided to cushion the clamping plate 13 from excessive reset force.
[0029] In this embodiment, a movable groove 19 is opened along the length direction of the clamping box 30, and a guide rod 20 is fixed on the abutment disk 18 located in the air inlet chamber 6. The guide rod 20 is movable through a C-shaped plate 21, and a spring 2 16 is sleeved on the guide rod 20. The spring 2 16 is arranged between the abutment disk 18 and the plate body 21, and a movable wheel 22 is rotatably arranged between the two ends of the plate body 21; when the user finishes the clamping operation, the clamping plate 13 is reset to abut the abutment disk 18 located in the air outlet chamber 7. At this time, the movable wheel 22 will roll in the movable groove 19, which increases the stability of the abutment disk 18 during the moving activity, and also reduces the friction and resistance of the abutment disk 18 during the movement.
[0030] In this embodiment, an L-shaped clamping plate 2 14 is provided on the fixing plate 2 3; during the clamping process of the plastic mold, the clamping plate 2 14 reduces the risk of the plastic mold falling off during the clamping process by increasing the clamping points and the clamping area, thereby improving the safety of the clamping process.
[0031] In this embodiment, a rubber portion 123 is provided on the clamping plate 13, and a rubber portion 24 is provided on the clamping plate 2 14. The rubber portion 123 and the rubber portion 24 can increase the friction between the clamping plate 13 and the clamping plate 2 14 on the plastic mold, thereby ensuring that the mold will not fall off or move due to vibration or external force during the clamping process, thereby improving the stability of the clamping operation.
[0032] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 13 is rotatably connected to the clamping rod 11, and the clamping plate 2 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2 3. A locking mechanism 25 is provided between the clamping plate 2 14 and the fixed plate 2 3, which is used to selectively fix the clamping plate 2 14 and the fixed plate 2 3 relative to each other to limit or allow the clamping plate 2 14 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 2 3; when the user needs to adjust the plastic mold at multiple angles, first, the relative fixed state between the clamping plate 2 14 and the fixed plate 2 3 is released by the locking mechanism 25, and then, the clamping plate 2 14 is rotated to adjust the angle of the plastic mold between the clamping plate 1 13 and the clamping plate 2 14. After rotating the clamping plate 2 14 to the desired angle, the clamping plate 2 14 and the fixed plate 2 3 are fixed relative to each other again by the locking mechanism 25, so that the user can adjust the angle of the plastic mold.
[0033] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 25 includes a locking rod 26, a limit plate 27, a spring three 17 and a fixed plate three 28; the fixed plate three 28 is L-shaped and fixed to the fixed plate two 3, the locking rod 26 movably passes through the second end of the fixed plate three 28, the limit plate 27 is sleeved on the locking rod 26, and is arranged between the fixed plate three 28 and the fixed plate two 3; the spring three 17 is sleeved on the locking rod 26, and the two ends of the spring three 17 elastically abut the limit plate 27 and the fixed plate three 28 respectively; the locking rod 26 movably passes through the fixed plate two 3, and the clamping plate two 14 is provided with a plurality of suitable When the user needs to relatively fix the clamping plate 14 and the fixing plate 3, first, release the locking rod 26. At this time, the spring 3 17 will elastically abut the limit plate 27, pushing the limit plate 27 and the locking rod 26 toward the fixing plate 3. In this process, the locking hole 29 on the clamping plate 14 is aligned with the position of the locking rod 26. The elastic force of the spring 3 17 will automatically insert the locking rod 26 into the locking hole 29. Once the locking rod 26 is fully inserted into the locking hole 29, it will firmly lock the clamping plate 14 on the fixing plate 3. When the user needs to release the relative fixation between the clamping plate 14 and the fixing plate 3, he only needs to pull the locking rod 26 to disengage the locking hole 29.
[0034] Working Principle: When a user needs to clamp a plastic mold, first, air pump 9 causes air pipe 8 to deliver compressed air into air inlet chamber 6. As the air pressure in air inlet chamber 6 gradually increases, piston 12 is pushed by the pressure, driving clamping rod 11 along partition block 5 toward air outlet chamber 7. Simultaneously, spring 15 within air inlet chamber 6 is compressed by abutment plate 18, storing elastic potential energy. The movement of clamping rod 11 causes clamping plate 13 to gradually approach and eventually contact and clamp the plastic mold placed on machine platform 1, forcing the mold to abut against fixed plate 2 3 for clamping. When the user needs to release the plastic mold, the pressure in the air inlet chamber 6 is reduced by operating the pressure reducing valve 10. As the air pressure drops, the piston 12 is no longer subjected to sufficient thrust. At this time, the spring 15 releases the stored elastic potential energy, pushing the abutment plate 18 and the clamping rod 11 to move in opposite directions. The clamping plate 13 then releases the mold, completing the mold release operation and improving the efficiency of the plastic mold clamping operation. When the user finishes the clamping operation, the clamping plate 13 returns to abut the abutment plate 18 located in the air outlet chamber 7. At this time, the moving wheel 22 will The second clamping plate 14 can increase the friction between the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 14, thereby increasing the friction between the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 14 and the plastic mold. or external force that causes the clamping plate 14 to fall off or move, thereby improving the stability of the clamping operation; when the user needs to adjust the plastic mold at multiple angles, first, the relative fixed state between the clamping plate 14 and the fixing plate 3 is released by the locking mechanism 25, and then the clamping plate 14 is rotated to adjust the angle of the plastic mold between the clamping plates 13 and 14. After the clamping plate 14 is rotated to the desired angle, the locking mechanism 25 is used again to fix the clamping plate 14 and the fixing plate 3 relative to each other, so that the user can adjust the angle of the plastic mold; When the user needs to relatively fix the clamping plate 2 14 and the fixing plate 2 3 , first, loosen the locking rod 26. At this time, the spring 3 17 will elastically abut the limit plate 27, pushing the limit plate 27 and the locking rod 26 toward the fixing plate 2 3. During this process, the locking hole 29 on the clamping plate 2 14 is aligned with the position of the locking rod 26. The elastic force of the spring 3 17 will automatically insert the locking rod 26 into the locking hole 29. Once the locking rod 26 is fully inserted into the locking hole 29, it will firmly lock the clamping plate 2 14 on the fixing plate 2 3. When the user needs to release the relative fixation between the clamping plate 2 14 and the fixing plate 2 3, he only needs to pull the locking rod 26 to disengage the locking hole 29.
