DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 4 The clamping mechanism for grooving in the production of anode carbon blocks shown in the figure includes a base 1, which provides stable support to withstand various forces applied during the processing. A robotic arm 2 is installed on the upper side of the base 1, and the robotic arm 2 can flexibly move and adjust its position to accurately clamp and process the anode carbon blocks. A mounting column 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front side of the robotic arm 2, and the mounting column 3 is convenient for installing other components. The bottom of the mounting column 3 is fixedly connected to a shell 4, and the shell 4 is used to limit and install the components inside it. A first slide bar 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the shell 4, and by fixing the first slide bar 5, a stable sliding track is provided for the components sliding outside the first slide bar 5. The outer side of the first slide bar 5 is slidably connected to a slide plate 6, and the slide plate 6 is used to fix the electric push rod 7. The middle part of the slide plate 6 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 7, and the electric push rod 7 is used to provide thrust. A turntable 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the shell 4, and the turntable 8 is used to rotate The first connecting rod 9 is driven by the motor to rotate, and four first connecting rods 9 are connected to the bottom of the turntable 8. The first connecting rod 9 is used to transmit the power generated by the rotation of the turntable 8. The end of the first connecting rod 9 away from the turntable 8 is rotatably connected to the first slider 10. The rotation of the first connecting rod 9 drives the first slider 10 to slide. The bottom of the first slider 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 12, and the sliding of the first slider 10 drives the connecting block 12 to slide. A protective component is provided at the bottom of the connecting block 12. The protective component is used to reduce the damage to the surface of the anode carbon block caused by clamping during the process of clamping the anode carbon block. The upper sides of the two first sliders 10 are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 11, and the connecting plate 11 is used to slide and drive the first slider 10 to slide. The opposite side of the two connecting plates 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the electric push rod 7, and the electric push rod 7 is extended and retracted to drive the two connecting plates 11 to slide relative to or away from each other.

[0021] The protective assembly includes a mounting plate 13, the upper side of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 12. The mounting plate 13 is the most important part of the protective assembly and is used to install other components of the protective assembly. The movement of the connecting block 12 drives the mounting plate 13 to move. The outer side of the mounting plate 13 is rotatably connected to two second connecting rods 14, and the second connecting rods 14 are used to rotate and adjust the position of the protective assembly. The end of the second connecting rod 14 away from the mounting plate 13 is rotatably connected to a second slider 17, and the second slider 17 is used to slide and drive the second connecting rod 14 to rotate. A damper 22 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting plate 13. The damper 22 is used to reduce the amplitude generated by the protective assembly during the protection process. The output end of the damper 22 is fixedly connected to a fixing assembly, and the fixing assembly is used to fix the anode carbon block.

[0022] The fixing assembly includes a mounting base 15, which provides an installation position for the entire fixing assembly. The side of the mounting base 15 close to the mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the damper 22 to ensure the stability of the mounting base 15 when fixing the anode carbon block. The mounting base 15 is fixedly connected to a second slide bar 16, which facilitates the sliding of the second slider 17. Two springs 18 are sleeved on the outside of the second slide bar 16. The spring 18 is used to reset when subjected to external pressure. A rotating circular block 19 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating circular block 19. Two rotating clamping blocks 20 are rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating circular block 19. Two rotating pressure blocks 21 are rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating clamping block 20. By rotatably connecting the rotating circular block 19, the rotating clamping block 20 and the rotating pressure block 21 are all rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating circular block 19, it is convenient to fix anode carbon blocks of different shapes.

[0023] The second sliding block 17 is internally slidably connected to the outer side of the second sliding rod 16 to ensure the stability of the second sliding rod 16 during the sliding process.

[0024] One end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the second slider 17, and the other end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting seat 15, ensuring that the spring 18 can effectively provide elastic force to the second slider 17 when performing the reset movement, so that the second slider 17 slides.

[0025] The outer side of the first slider 10 is slidably connected to the bottom of the shell 4. The first connecting rod 9 rotates to drive the first slider 10 to slide, so that the first slider 10 drives the connecting block 12 to slide to clamp and fix the anode carbon block.

[0026] Working principle: When the anode carbon block needs to be grooved, the base 1 is fixed in a suitable position, and the mechanical arm 2 is started to place the mechanical arm 2 near the required anode carbon block, and the mounting column 3 is moved downward. During the movement, the electric push rod 7 is started to extend the electric push rod 7, thereby driving the two connecting plates 11 to slide relative to each other, driving the first slider 10 to slide, causing the first connecting rod 9 to rotate, further driving the turntable 8 to rotate, and the rotation of the turntable 8 drives the other two first connecting rods 9 to rotate, so that the four connecting blocks 12 are stretched open. When the anode carbon block needs to be clamped, the four connecting blocks 12 are placed around the anode carbon block, and the electric push rod 7 is retracted. When the electric push rod 7 is retracted, it drives the two connecting plates 11 to slide relative to each other, and further drives the two first sliders 10 to slide relative to each other. The two first connecting rods 9 are rotated, driving the turntable 8 to rotate, and driving the other two first connecting rods 9 to rotate, so that the four connecting blocks 12 are contracted, and further driving the mounting plate 13 to contract to fix the anode carbon block. In the process of fixing the anode carbon block, the rotating pressing block 21, the rotating clamping block 20 and the rotating clamping block 20 can fix anode carbon blocks of different shapes due to their rotation characteristics. At the same time, when fixing, the mounting seat 15 will contact with the anode carbon block to fix the anode carbon block, and the mounting plate 13 will continue to slide, so the distance between the mounting seat 15 and the mounting plate 13 will be reduced, thereby causing the second connecting rod 14 to rotate, and driving the second slider 17 to slide, squeezing the spring 18, thereby reducing the damage to the surface of the anode carbon block caused by excessive clamping force in the process of fixing the anode carbon block.
