Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixture technology, specifically a fixture for automated production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A fixture is a device used in mechanical manufacturing to fix a workpiece in the correct position for processing or inspection. It is also called a clamp. Different workpieces require different fixtures. When using automated production equipment to process objects, fixtures are needed to fix the objects in order to carry out the processing.
[0003] In response, Chinese patent application number CN202022922098.X discloses a positioning fixture for CNC automation equipment, belonging to the field of CNC automation equipment. It includes a base, with a first support plate welded to the top surface of the base. A screw is rotatably connected inside the first support plate. One end of the screw is connected to the output shaft of a servo motor via a coupling, and the other end is rotatably connected to the interior of a second support plate. The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning fixture for CNC automation equipment. A servo motor drives a first slider to slide in a first groove, enabling the clamping block to move left and right for positioning and clamping. A servo electric cylinder drives the gear inside the moving block to rotate, allowing the clamping block to clamp the object requiring CNC processing. Furthermore, by adjusting the limit screw, the length of the clamping block on the moving plate can be adjusted, thereby enabling precise positioning and clamping of the object requiring CNC processing.
[0004] The clamp can move the positioning component in the first slide groove by rotating the screw, so that the clamping block can move left and right. However, the first slide groove is located on the lower side of the clamping block. When using the clamping block to clamp objects, rust and debris generated during processing will fall into the first slide groove, which will obstruct the movement of the positioning component in the first slide groove and affect the user experience of the device.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a fixture for automated production equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clamp for automated production equipment to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where the clamp can drive the positioning component to move in the first slide groove by rotating the screw, so that the clamping block can move left and right. However, the first slide groove is located on the lower side of the clamping block. When using the clamping block to clamp objects, rust and debris generated during processing on the surface of the objects will fall down into the first slide groove, which will obstruct the movement of the positioning component in the first slide groove and affect the user experience of the device.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fixture for automated production equipment, comprising: a base, fixed plates installed at both ends of the top surface of the base, a sliding groove formed on the top surface of the base, a motor installed on the surface of the fixed plates, and a threaded rod fixedly connected to the output end of the motor;
[0008] A clamping structure is installed on the upper side of the base. The clamping structure includes a movable block, which is slidably installed inside the slide groove. A through groove is opened on the surface of the movable block. A threaded column is movably installed inside the movable block through a bearing. A motor is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable block. Two sets of movable blocks are slidably installed inside the movable block. A clamping arm is slidably installed on the inner side of the movable block. A movable groove is opened on the surface of the clamping arm. A hand-operated screw is threadedly connected to the left side wall of the movable block.
[0009] A shielding structure is installed on the fixed plate. The shielding structure includes a shield plate, which is fixedly installed in the middle of two sets of fixed plates. The front and rear ends of the shield plate are integrally formed with oblique guide eaves, and a movable plate is inserted into the right end of the oblique guide eaves.
[0010] Preferably, the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the movable block.
[0011] Preferably, the threaded post is threadedly connected to two sets of movable blocks, and the threaded post passes through the clamping arm via the movable groove.
[0012] Preferably, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a threaded post.
[0013] Preferably, the right end of the hand-operated screw is rotatably connected to the left end of the clamping arm.
[0014] Preferably, the baffle passes through the movable block via a through slot.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting a cover plate on the upper side of the slide, the slide can be blocked, preventing debris and rust from the surface of the object from falling into the slide, keeping the inside of the slide clean, ensuring the smooth movement of the moving block inside the slide, and improving the user experience of the device.
[0016] This invention features a clamping structure and a shielding structure. When the motor is started, a threaded column rotates, connected to a movable block. The rotation of the threaded column causes two sets of movable blocks to move horizontally within the moving block, bringing the two clamping arms closer together to clamp and fix the object. Simultaneously, starting the motor rotates a threaded rod, also connected to the moving block. The rotation of the threaded rod causes the moving block to move within a groove, adjusting the object's left and right position to suit the processing needs of the production equipment. During the movement of the moving block, a shield moves within a through groove, positioned above the threaded rod and the groove. This shield protects against rust or other debris falling from the object's surface during processing. The debris generated during operation is collected inside the top surface of the baffle, keeping the surface of the threaded rod and the inside of the groove clean, ensuring smooth movement of the moving block, and improving the user experience of the device. The debris will move to the right under the guidance of the inclined guide eaves. Pulling open the movable plate can discharge the debris on the baffle for unified disposal. Rotating the hand screw, which is threaded to the movable block, can push the clamping arm to move left and right within the movable block. The extension length of the clamping arm from inside the movable block can be adjusted to meet the clamping needs of different positions of the object. The threaded post moves within the movable groove, so that the movement of the clamping arm is not affected by the threaded post, improving the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0024] The base 1, fixing plate 11, slide 12, motor 13, threaded rod 14 and motor 24 used in this application are products that can be purchased directly from the market. Their principles and connection methods are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0025] A fixture for automated production equipment includes: a base 1, fixed plates 11 are installed at both ends of the top surface of the base 1, a sliding groove 12 is opened on the top surface of the base 1, a motor 13 is installed on the surface of the fixed plate 11, and a threaded rod 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13.
[0026] A clamping structure 2 is installed on the upper side of the base 1. The clamping structure 2 includes a movable block 21. The movable block 21 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 12. A through groove 22 is opened on the surface of the movable block 21. A threaded column 23 is movably installed inside the movable block 21 through a bearing. A motor 24 is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable block 21. Two sets of movable blocks 25 are slidably installed inside the movable block 21. A clamping arm 26 is slidably installed on the inner side of the movable block 25. A movable groove 27 is opened on the surface of the clamping arm 26. A hand screw 28 is threadedly connected to the left side wall of the movable block 25.
[0027] A shielding structure 3 is installed on the fixed plate 11. The shielding structure 3 includes a shielding plate 31, which is fixedly installed in the middle of the two sets of fixed plates 11. The front and rear ends of the shielding plate 31 are integrally formed with inclined guide eaves 32. A movable plate 33 is inserted into the right end of the inclined guide eaves 32. By setting the shielding plate 31 on the upper side of the slide 12, the slide 12 can be shielded to prevent the debris and rust on the surface of the object generated during processing from falling into the slide 12. This keeps the inside of the slide 12 clean and ensures the smooth movement of the moving block 21 inside the slide 12, thus improving the user experience of the device.
[0028] Furthermore, the threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to the movable block 21. The rotation of the threaded rod 14 can drive the movable block 21 to move left and right within the slide groove 12, thereby realizing the left and right adjustment of the object.
[0029] Furthermore, the threaded post 23 is threadedly connected to two sets of movable blocks 25. The threaded post 23 passes through the clamping arm 26 via the movable groove 27. The rotation of the threaded post 23 can drive the two sets of movable blocks 25 to move, so that the two sets of movable blocks 25 move closer or further away from each other, thereby enabling the clamping arm 26 to clamp the object. The left and right movement of the clamping arm 26 will not be blocked by the threaded post 23.
[0030] Furthermore, the output end of the motor 24 is fixedly connected to the threaded post 23, and the motor 24 provides power for the rotation of the threaded post 23.
[0031] Furthermore, the right end of the hand-operated screw 28 is rotatably connected to the left end of the clamping arm 26. Rotating the hand-operated screw 28 can drive the clamping arm 26 to extend and retract within the movable block 25, thereby adjusting the extension length of the clamping arm 26.
[0032] Furthermore, the cover plate 31 passes through the movable block 21 via the through groove 22. When the movable block 21 is in motion, it can move outside the cover plate 31 through the through groove 22, so that the objects on the movable block 21 are always located on the upper side of the cover plate 31, ensuring the effectiveness of the cover plate 31 in collecting debris.
[0033] Working principle: When in use, starting the motor 24 can drive the threaded column 23 to rotate. The threaded column 23 is threadedly connected to the movable block 25. The rotation of the threaded column 23 can drive the two sets of movable blocks 25 to move horizontally inside the moving block 21, which can drive the two sets of clamping arms 26 to move closer to each other, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the object. Starting the motor 13 can drive the threaded rod 14 to rotate. The threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to the moving block 21. The rotation of the threaded rod 14 can drive the moving block 21 to move within the slide groove 12 to adjust the left and right position of the object to adapt to the processing needs of the production equipment.
[0034] When the movable block 21 moves, the cover plate 31 moves within the through groove 22. The cover plate 31 is located above the threaded rod 14 and the slide groove 12. It can block rust or debris that falls from the surface of the object or is generated during processing, so that the debris is collected inside the top surface of the cover plate 31 to keep the surface of the threaded rod 14 and the inside of the slide groove 12 clean, ensuring the smooth movement of the movable block 21 and improving the user experience of the device.
[0035] The debris will move to the right under the guidance of the inclined guide vane 32. Pulling open the movable plate 33 can discharge the debris on the cover plate 31 for unified processing. Rotating the hand screw 28, which is threadedly connected to the movable block 25, can push the clamping arm 26 to move left and right within the movable block 25. The extension length of the clamping arm 26 from the movable block 25 can be adjusted to meet the clamping requirements of different positions of the object. The threaded post 23 will move within the movable groove 27, so that the movement of the clamping arm 26 is not affected by the threaded post 23, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model.
