However, existing seedling tray clamps can only hold one seedling tray at a time, and cannot grab multiple seedling trays at once, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a clamp for a seedling tray end stacking workstation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamp for a seedling tray end stacking workstation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] Two cylinders drive two connecting blocks to move towards each other, which in turn drives two moving plates to move towards each other, thereby causing four clamping plates to move in pairs towards each other. This allows several clamping grooves on the inner side of the four clamping plates to engage with the protrusions on both sides of several seedling trays, enabling the clamping of multiple seedling trays at once, thus improving work efficiency. The combination of the first reinforcing block, the second reinforcing block, and several reinforcing rods enhances the structural strength of the clamping plates, making them more durable. By loosening the eight first fixing bolts, they are separated from the eight second threaded holes, eliminating the limitation and fixation of the four clamping plates, thus facilitating disassembly and maintenance of the four clamping plates.

[0007] Preferably, each of the two fixed rods has a sliding groove on one side opposite to the other, and four sliders are slidably arranged inside each of the two sliding grooves.

The structural strength of the clamping plate can be improved by the cooperation of the first reinforcement block, the second reinforcement block and the plurality of reinforcement rods, making it more durable.

[0010] Preferably, each of the four clamping plates has two first mounting holes at its connection with the two movable plates, and each of the eight first mounting holes has a first threaded hole on its inner side. Each of the two movable plates has two second threaded holes at its connection with the four clamping plates, and each of the eight first threaded holes and the eight second threaded holes is threaded with a first fixing bolt. By loosening the eight first fixing bolts, they are separated from the eight second threaded holes, and the four clamping plates are no longer limited and fixed, thus facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the four clamping plates.

[0011] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly provided at the top between the two fixed rods. The mounting plate has a mounting hole in the middle and several fixing holes on the outer side of the mounting hole. The mounting hole and the several fixing holes are arranged in a way that makes it easy to fix the fixture on the robot arm.

[0012] Preferably, each of the four corners of the top of the mounting plate is provided with a second mounting hole, and each of the four second mounting holes is provided with a third threaded hole on the inner side. Each of the two fixing rods is provided with two fourth threaded holes at the connection between the two fixing rods and the mounting plate. A second fixing bolt is threaded between each of the four fourth threaded holes and the four third threaded holes.

Several clamping grooves 11 are formed on the bottom inner sides of the four clamping plates 10, and reinforcing components 25 are fixedly arranged on the outer sides of the four clamping plates 10. The clamping mechanism is connected by two cylinders. 4 drives the two connecting blocks 5 to move towards each other, which in turn drives the two moving plates 6 to move towards each other, thereby driving the four clamping plates 10 to move towards each other in pairs, so that the several clamping grooves 11 on the inner side of the four clamping plates 10 respectively engage with the protrusions on both sides of several seedling trays, thereby enabling multiple seedling trays to be grabbed at once, thus improving work efficiency. The structural strength of the clamping plates 10 can be improved by the cooperation of the first reinforcing block 251, the second reinforcing block 252 and several reinforcing rods 253, making them more durable. By loosening the eight first fixing bolts 19, they are separated from the eight second threaded holes 20, and the four clamping plates 10 are no longer limited and fixed, thus facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the four clamping plates 10.

[0023] Each of the two fixed rods 1 has a groove 12 on one side opposite to the other. Four sliders 13 are slidably arranged inside each of the two grooves 12. The four sliders 13 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the two movable plates 6 respectively. Slide rails 14 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the top of the two fixed rods 1. Sliding seats 15 are slidably arranged on the surface of each of the four slide rails 14. A connecting plate 16 is fixedly arranged on the top between the two sliding seats 15 at the same end. The two connecting plates 16 are fixedly connected to the two movable plates 6 respectively. Each of the four reinforcing components 25 includes a first reinforcing block 251 and a second reinforcing block 252. Several reinforcing rods 253 are fixedly arranged between the first reinforcing block 251 and the second reinforcing block 252.

[0024] In use, the four sliders 13 are respectively engaged with the two slide grooves 12 to facilitate the stable movement of the two moving plates 6. The four slide rails 14 are respectively engaged with the four sliding seats 15 to facilitate the stable movement of the two moving plates 6. The first reinforcing block 251, the second reinforcing block 252 and several reinforcing rods 253 are coordinated to improve the structural strength of the clamping plate 10 and make it more durable.

[0025] Two first mounting holes 17 are provided at the connection points of the four clamping plates 10 and the two movable plates 6, and a first threaded hole 18 is provided on the inner side of each of the eight first mounting holes 17.

The fixture is easily fixed on the robot arm by the cooperation of the mounting hole 8 and several fixing holes 9. The mounting plate 7 is firmly fixed by the threads of the four second fixing bolts 23 and the four fourth threaded holes 24 respectively.

[0027] In this embodiment, the fixture is easily fixed to the robotic arm by the mounting hole 8 and several fixing holes 9. The robotic arm drives the fixture to move above the stacking machine. Two cylinders 4 drive two connecting blocks 5 to move towards each other, which in turn drives two moving plates 6 to move towards each other, thereby driving four clamping plates 10 to move towards each other in pairs. This allows several clamping grooves 11 on the inner side of the four clamping plates 10 to engage with the protrusions on both sides of several seedling trays, enabling multiple seedling trays to be gripped at once, thus improving work efficiency. The combination of the first reinforcing block 251, the second reinforcing block 252 and several reinforcing rods 253 can improve the structural strength of the clamping plates 10, making them more durable. By loosening the eight first fixing bolts 19, they are separated from the eight second threaded holes 20, and the four clamping plates 10 are no longer limited and fixed, thus facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the four clamping plates 10.
