[0029] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with all the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 The utility model provides a hydraulic rail clamp, comprising a housing 1, an attachment connector 2, a clamping jaw 3 and a hydraulic drive assembly 4. Two clamping jaws 3 are provided, one end of the two clamping jaws 3 is connected to the housing 1 in a relatively rotatable manner, and the two clamping jaws 3 can be rotated towards or away from each other to clamp or release the rail. The attachment connector 2 is mounted on the housing 1, and the attachment connector 2 can be connected to the telescopic arm of the excavator, so that the hydraulic rail clamp can be carried, moved and adjusted in position by the excavator. The hydraulic drive assembly 4 is a drive for adjusting the position of the housing 1 and the clamping jaw 3, and provides power through hydraulic pressure to enable the housing 1 and the clamping jaw 3 to move.

[0031] The shell 1 includes a mounting frame 11, a fixing plate 12 and a connecting shaft 13. There are two fixing plates 12, which are fixed to the lower side of the mounting frame 11. The clamping jaws 3 can be connected to the fixing plates 12. The connecting shaft 13 is fixed to the upper side of the mounting frame 11, and the connecting shaft 13 can be connected to the accessory connector 2 for relative rotation.

[0032] The attachment connector 2 includes a fixed frame 21, a connecting plate 22, and a rotating sleeve 23. The rotating sleeve 23 is fixed to the side of the connecting plate 22 close to the housing 1. The connecting shaft 13 is located inside the rotating sleeve 23, and the rotating sleeve 23 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 13, so that the attachment connector 2 can rotate relative to the housing 1. The fixed frame 21 is fixed to the side of the connecting plate 22 away from the rotating sleeve 23. The fixed frame 21 can be connected to the telescopic arm of the excavator. The structure of the fixed frame 21 is prior art, and its specific structure will not be repeated in this application. When in use, the attachment connector 2 can be connected to the telescopic arm of the excavator. As the excavator moves or the telescopic arm is adjusted and moved, the entire hydraulic rail clamp is driven to move. The rotating sleeve 23 and the connecting shaft 13 rotate relative to each other, which can rotate the entire hydraulic rail clamp relative to the telescopic arm of the excavator and adjust the position of the hydraulic rail clamp.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The two clamping jaws 3 each include a connecting arm 31, an active rod 32, a driven rod 33, and a bent plate 34. The two connecting arms 31 are respectively located on both sides of the housing 1 and are rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the connecting arms 31 can be fixed to the active rod 32. Specifically, one end of the connecting arm 31 is hinged between the two fixed plates 12, the connecting arm 31 is located on one side of the fixed plate 12, and the end of the connecting arm 31 away from the fixed plate 12 is fixed to the active rod 32. The driving assembly can be connected to the active rod 32, and the connecting arm 31 can meet the swing of the active rod 32. One end of the driven rod 33 is hinged to the middle of the fixed plate 12, and the bent plate 34 includes a connecting portion 341 and a clamping portion 342. The clamping portion 342 is fixed to the connecting portion 341, and the clamping portion 342 and the connecting portion 341 are arranged at an obtuse angle. The two ends of the connecting portion 341 are rotatably connected to the active rod 32 and the driven rod 33 respectively, and the clamping portion 342 is located on the lower side of the driven rod 33. During operation, the drive assembly drives the active rods 32 of the two clamping jaws 3 to rotate toward or away from each other, thereby driving the two clamping portions 342 to move toward each other to clamp the rail or away from each other to release the rail. The driven rod 33 can be connected to the active rod 32 via the connecting portion 341, improving the rotational stability of the clamping jaws 3 and increasing the strength of the clamping jaws 3.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The hydraulic drive assembly 4 includes a hydraulic cylinder 41 and a hydraulic motor 42. The hydraulic cylinder 41 is disposed below the housing 1. One end of the housing 1 of the hydraulic cylinder 41 is hinged to one clamping jaw 3, and one end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 is hinged to the other clamping jaw 3. Specifically, the two ends of the hydraulic cylinder 41 are respectively hinged to the side walls of the two active rods 32. As the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 moves, it can drive the two clamping jaws to rotate and clamp the rail.

[0035] The hydraulic motor 42 is fixed on a fixed plate 12. The rotation of the output shaft of the hydraulic motor 42 can drive the connecting shaft 13 and the rotating sleeve 23 to rotate relative to each other. The structure of the hydraulic motor 42 and the transmission structure of the hydraulic motor 42 driving the connecting shaft 13 to rotate are existing technologies and will not be repeated in this application.

[0036] As an embodiment, the driven rod 33 includes a transverse plate 331, a vertical plate 332, and a connecting plate 333. Two vertical plates 332 are provided, and the two vertical plates 332 are respectively fixed to the two sides of the transverse plate 331 and arranged perpendicular to the transverse plate 331. The two vertical plates 332 are respectively rotatably connected to the two fixed plates 12. The two vertical plates 332 and the transverse plate 331 form an avoidance groove 334, and the hydraulic cylinder 41 can be disposed in the avoidance groove 334. There are two connecting plates 333, and the two connecting plates 333 are fixed to the lower side of the transverse plate 331. The connecting portion 341 is disposed between the two connecting plates 333. The driven rod 33 adopts the above-mentioned structure to reasonably install the hydraulic cylinder 41, so that the hydraulic rail clamp has better integrity, and can also reduce the weight of the rail clamp and reduce energy loss.

[0037] As an embodiment, the two gripping portions 342 are each provided with a mounting groove 3421 on the side closest to each other, within which a cushion 3422 is secured. A latching groove 3423 is also provided on the side closest to each other, which can abut against one side of the rail head. The cushion 3422 protects the rail from damage during the gripping operation, while the latching groove 3423 ensures stable gripping of the rail.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: during operation, the excavator moves to the work site, the hydraulic motor drives the clamping jaw 3 to rotate, and the hydraulic cylinder 41 drives the clamping jaw 3 to swing. When the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 is extended, it can drive the two clamping jaws 3 away from each other. When the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 41 is retracted, it can drive the two clamping jaws 3 closer to clamp the rails. Compared with existing technologies, it can clamp rails more efficiently, reduce worker labor efficiency, and can flexibly change the construction position as the excavator moves, which has strong applicability.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
