[0031] An embodiment of this application provides a hydraulic clamp, which can be found in the accompanying documentation. Figures 1 to 2 The hydraulic clamp includes a hydraulic cylinder 1, a clamping plate 2, a solid structure, a guide rod 3, and a high-pressure device. The hydraulic cylinder 1 includes a cylinder body 110 and a drive shaft 120 mounted on the cylinder body 110. The cylinder body 110 has a guide hole 130. The clamping plate 2 is mounted on the drive shaft 120 and is used to clamp the workpiece. The clamping plate 2 has a first through hole 210 corresponding to the guide hole 130. The solid structure is located on the side of the clamping plate 2 away from the hydraulic cylinder 1, and the distance between the solid structure and the clamping plate 2 is... The configuration is such that, during the movement of the clamping plate 2 driven by the drive shaft 120, the clamping plate 2 and the solid structure clamp and fix the workpiece; one end of the guide rod 3 is fixedly installed in the first through hole 210, and the other end of the guide rod 3 is sealed and slidably inserted into the guide hole 130. The guide rod 3 is provided with a channel 310 connecting the guide hole 130 and the first through hole 210; the high-pressure device is connected to the end of the guide hole 130 away from the clamping plate 2, and the high-pressure device is used to deliver high-pressure gas or high-pressure liquid to the guide hole 130.

[0032] In this embodiment, the hydraulic clamp includes a hydraulic cylinder 1, a clamping plate 2, a solid structure, a guide rod 3, and a high-pressure device. The drive shaft 120 of the hydraulic cylinder 1 drives the clamping plate 2 to move, thereby clamping and fixing the workpiece together with the solid structure. The cylinder body 110 of the hydraulic cylinder 1 is provided with a guide hole 130, and the clamping plate 2 is provided with a first through hole 210. The two ends of the guide rod 3 are respectively installed in the first through hole 210 and the guide hole 130. The guide rod 3 is also provided with a channel 310 connecting the guide hole 130 and the first through hole 210. The high-pressure device delivers high-pressure gas or high-pressure liquid to the guide hole 130 and outputs it from the first through hole 210, realizing the effect of integrating the cleaning device into the hydraulic cylinder 1, making the cleaning of the workpiece more convenient and faster, and improving the integration of the device.

[0033] Furthermore, the channel 310 of the cleaning device and the guide structure (guide hole 130 and guide rod 3) of the hydraulic clamp are integrated together, so that the guide structure can also serve as a channel 310 for conveying high-pressure gas or high-pressure liquid, further improving the integration of the device.

[0034] It is also understandable that the hydraulic cylinder 1 generates a large amount of heat during use, which is concentrated in the cylinder body 110 and can easily have an adverse effect on the driving of the hydraulic cylinder 1. However, the channel 310 for conveying high-pressure gas or high-pressure liquid is integrated into the cylinder body 110 in this application, and the high-pressure gas or high-pressure liquid can also carry away the heat inside the cylinder body 110, thus achieving the effect of cooling the cylinder body 110.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 A first annular stop 140 is provided at the port of the guide hole 130 facing the clamping plate 2. The diameter of the guide rod 3 is adapted to the diameter of the inner annular surface of the first annular stop 140. A second annular stop 320 is provided at the end of the guide rod 3 inside the guide hole 130. The diameter of the outer annular surface of the second annular stop 320 is adapted to the diameter of the guide hole 130.

[0036] With the above settings, when the drive shaft 120 drives the clamping plate 2 to move away from the cylinder 110, after moving a certain distance, the first annular stop 140 will come into contact with the second annular stop 320 to block the second annular stop 320, thereby preventing the guide rod 3 from leaving the guide hole 130.

[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 A first sealing ring 4 is embedded on the outer circumferential surface of the second annular retaining edge 320. The first sealing ring 4 is used to seal the gap between the second annular retaining edge 320 and the guide hole 130, thereby improving the sealing performance between the second annular retaining edge 320 and the guide hole 130 and thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 A second sealing ring 5 is embedded on the inner ring surface of the first annular flange 140. The second sealing ring 5 is used to seal the gap between the guide rod 3 and the first annular flange 140, thereby improving the sealing performance between the guide rod 3 and the first annular flange 140 and thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 Multiple second sealing rings 5 ​​are provided, and the multiple second sealing rings 5 ​​are distributed sequentially at intervals along the axial direction of the first annular flange 140, which further improves the sealing performance between the guide rod 3 and the first annular flange 140.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive shaft 120 is connected to the center of the clamping plate 2. Multiple guide holes 130 and multiple guide rods 3 are provided. The multiple guide holes 130 and multiple guide rods 3 correspond one-to-one. The multiple guide holes 130 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the drive shaft 120, so that the clamping plate 2 is subjected to uniform force and the stability of the movement of the clamping plate 2 is improved.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are two guide holes 130 and two guide rods 3, and the two guide holes 130 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the drive shaft 120.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The hydraulic clamp also includes a cover plate 6, which is disposed on the end face of the hydraulic cylinder 1 away from the clamping plate 2. The cover plate 6 is provided with a second through hole 610 communicating with the guide hole 130. The diameter of the second through hole 610 is smaller than the diameter of the guide hole 130.

[0043] Thus, when the drive shaft 120 drives the clamping plate 2 to move closer to the cylinder 110, the baffle will come into contact with the second annular flange 320 to block the second annular flange 320, thereby preventing the guide rod 3 from disengaging from the guide hole 130.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 An annular groove is provided at the edge of the guide hole 130 near the port of the cover plate 6. A third sealing ring 7 is embedded in the annular groove. The third sealing ring 7 is used to seal the gap between the guide hole 130 and the cover plate 6, thereby improving the sealing performance between the guide hole 130 and the cover plate 6.

[0045] In other embodiments, the physical structure can be a steel plate, or the physical structure can be a mirror image of the hydraulic cylinder 1, clamping plate 2 and guide rod 3 described above.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
