Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping technology, specifically a fixing clamp for printing FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers). Background Technology

[0002] FIBCs, also known as bulk containers or space bags, are a type of containerized unit. Equipped with cranes or forklifts, they enable unitized transport of bulk materials. They are suitable for transporting large quantities of loose, powdery, or granular materials and are widely used for the transport packaging of powdery, granular, and lumpy goods such as food, grains, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and minerals. After production, the FIBCs need to have their trademarks and manufacturer information printed on them for easy identification later. The FIBCs also need to be secured during the trademark printing process.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN213292913U, which discloses a fixing clamp for printing trademarks on FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers). The clamp includes a base, a worktable slidably connected to the top of the base, a mounting seat on the rear side of the base, a driving hydraulic cylinder mounted on the top of the mounting seat, and the piston rod end of the driving hydraulic cylinder fixed to the worktable. Two support plates are located on the top of the worktable, and a fixing plate is located on the outer side of the support plates. The fixing plate is locked to the worktable by locking screws. A connecting plate is located on the top of the support plates, and two clamping cylinders are mounted on the top of the connecting plate. A clamping plate connects the piston rod ends of the two clamping cylinders on the same side. This fixing clamp for printing trademarks on FIBCs can move the worktable to the frontmost position via the driving hydraulic cylinder, facilitating the clamping of FIBCs and keeping the clamping position away from the spraying equipment, reducing safety hazards during clamping and facilitating clamping and fixing. Furthermore, the position of the support plates and the distance between the two clamping plates can be adjusted according to the size of the FIBC, making it convenient to use.

[0004] However, the above design still has shortcomings. In the above design, the locking screw is adapted to the fixing hole at different positions to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the two clamping plates. However, each adjustment of the clamping plate requires frequent disassembly and reassembly of the locking screw, which is quite troublesome and inconvenient.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixing fixture for printing FIBCs to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fixing clamp for printing FIBCs, comprising a base, a transmission mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. Fixing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the base. A control panel is installed on the front end face of the base. A lifting mechanism is provided inside the base. A worktable is provided on the top of the base. A transmission mechanism is provided inside the worktable. L-shaped plates are movably arranged on both sides of the top of the worktable. A telescopic cylinder is installed on the top of the L-shaped plate, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder.

[0008] The transmission mechanism includes a forward and reverse motor, which is installed inside the workbench. The output end of the forward and reverse motor is fixedly fitted with a second conical disk. The top of the second conical disk is engaged with a first conical disk. A rotating rod is fixedly connected inside the first conical disk. Threaded rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating rod. A moving block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod.

[0009] The lifting mechanism includes a limiting groove, and a limiting vertical rod is movably installed inside the limiting groove. The top of the limiting vertical rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable. A fixing groove is opened at the bottom of one of the limiting grooves. A hexagonal screw head is rotatably installed inside the fixing groove. A bidirectional screw is fixedly connected to the left side of the hexagonal screw head through a transmission rod. A threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw. A limiting rod is movably installed through the lower end surface of the threaded block.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a crossbar is movably provided through the lower end surface of the movable block, a transmission block is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block, and the top of the transmission block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a second hinge block is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded block, a connecting rod is hinged to the top of the second hinge block, a first hinge block is hinged to the top of the connecting rod, and the top of the first hinge block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the workbench.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The structural design of the L-shaped plate, telescopic cylinder, clamping plate, and transmission mechanism allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the two clamping plates. It is simple to operate and highly convenient. At the same time, the output end of the telescopic cylinder can drive the clamping plate to move downward, which makes it easy to clamp and fix the FIBC on the worktable, thus completing the fixation of the FIBC. This solves the problem that adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates by matching the locking screws to the fixing holes at different positions is troublesome and inconvenient.

[0014] The lifting mechanism allows for easy adjustment of the workbench height, better meeting the needs of different scenarios and improving the practicality of the fixture. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a fixing fixture for printing FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), comprising a base 3, a transmission mechanism 8, and a lifting mechanism 9. Fixing plates 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the base 3. A control panel 7 is installed on the front end face of the base 3. The lifting mechanism 9 is provided inside the base 3. The lifting mechanism 9 includes a limiting groove 907, and a limiting vertical rod 906 is movably disposed inside the limiting groove 907. The top of the limiting vertical rod 906 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable 2. A fixing groove 909 is formed at the bottom of one of the limiting grooves 907. The internal rotating part of the 09 is equipped with a hexagonal screw head 908. The left side of the hexagonal screw head 908 is fixedly connected to a double-acting screw 904 via a transmission rod. The outer wall of the double-acting screw 904 is threadedly connected to a threaded block 910. A limit rod 905 is movably installed through the lower end surface of the threaded block 910. A second hinge block 903 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded block 910. A connecting rod 902 is hinged to the top of the second hinge block 903. A first hinge block 901 is hinged to the top of the connecting rod 902. The top of the first hinge block 901 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the worktable 2.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in use, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two clamping plates 6, the output end of the forward and reverse motor 808 can drive the second conical disk 807 to rotate. The rotation of the second conical disk 807 drives the first conical disk 806 to rotate the rotating rod 805. The rotation of the rotating rod 805 drives the two threaded rods 803 to rotate. The rotation of the two threaded rods 803 drives the two moving blocks 802 to move. The movement of the two moving blocks 802 drives the two L-shaped plates 1 to move through the two transmission blocks 801, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the two clamping plates 6. At the same time, the output end of the telescopic cylinder 5 can drive the clamping plates 6 to move downward, thereby facilitating the clamping and fixing of the container bag on the worktable 2, thus completing the fixing of the container bag. This solves the problem that adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 6 by matching the locking screws with the fixing holes at different positions is troublesome and inconvenient.

[0027] A workbench 2 is provided on the top of the base 3. A transmission mechanism 8 is provided inside the workbench 2. The transmission mechanism 8 includes a forward and reverse motor 808, which is installed inside the workbench 2. A second conical disk 807 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the forward and reverse motor 808. A first conical disk 806 is meshed with the top of the second conical disk 807. A rotating rod 805 is fixedly connected inside the first conical disk 806. Threaded rods 803 are fixedly connected on both sides of the rotating rod 805. A moving block 802 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 803. A crossbar 804 is movably provided through the lower surface of the moving block 802. A transmission block 801 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 802. The top of the transmission block 801 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1. L-shaped plates 1 are movably provided on both sides of the top of the workbench 2. A telescopic cylinder 5 is installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 1. A clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 5.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in use, the hexagonal screw head 908 can be rotated using a tool. The rotation of the hexagonal screw head 908 drives the bidirectional screw 904 to rotate via a transmission rod. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 904 drives two threaded blocks 910 to move in directions that are closer to or further apart from each other. The movement of the two threaded blocks 910 drives the movement of two second hinge blocks 903. The movement of the two second hinge blocks 903, through the cooperation of the first hinge block 901 and the connecting rod 902, drives the worktable 2 to move up or down. This allows for easy adjustment of the height of the worktable 2, thus better meeting the needs of different usage scenarios and improving the practicality of the fixture.

[0029] Working principle: In this application, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two clamping plates 6, the output end of the forward and reverse motor 808 can drive the second conical disk 807 to rotate. The rotation of the second conical disk 807 drives the first conical disk 806 to rotate the rotating rod 805. The rotation of the rotating rod 805 drives the two threaded rods 803 to rotate. The rotation of the two threaded rods 803 drives the two moving blocks 802 to move. The movement of the two moving blocks 802 drives the two L-shaped plates 1 to move through the two transmission blocks 801, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the two clamping plates 6. At the same time, the output end of the telescopic cylinder 5 can drive the clamping plate 6 to move downward, thereby facilitating the clamping of the container bag. The fixture is firmly fixed to the workbench 2, thus securing the container bag. Next, the hexagonal screw head 908 can be rotated using a tool. The rotation of the hexagonal screw head 908 drives the bidirectional screw 904 to rotate via a transmission rod. The bidirectional screw 904 rotates, causing two threaded blocks 910 to move in directions that are closer or further apart. The movement of the two threaded blocks 910 causes two second hinge blocks 903 to move. The movement of the two second hinge blocks 903, through the cooperation of the first hinge block 901 and the connecting rod 902, moves the workbench 2 upwards or downwards. This allows for easy adjustment of the height of the workbench 2, better meeting the needs of different scenarios and improving the practicality of the fixture.
