[0031] Example 1
[0032] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a tolerance-type hook clamping cylinder for use in automotive welding and assembly. The tolerance-type hook clamping cylinder includes a cylinder body 1 and an internal chamber. A piston rod 2, serving as a power transmission component, is disposed within the internal chamber of the cylinder 1. A sensing block 8 is fitted onto one end of the piston rod 2, cooperating with a guide block 4 to sense and transmit the movement of the piston rod 2. The sensing block 8 is connected to a hook 3 via the guide block 4. The guide block 4 is elliptical in shape, providing a certain tolerance range for the movement process. A groove is provided in the middle to fix the piston rod 2 and the hook 3. The hook-shaped end of the hook 3 extends out of the chamber from the cylinder 1 for actually clamping the workpiece or material. A sensor 9 is disposed within the internal chamber of the cylinder 1 near the sensing block 8 to detect the position, speed, or other relevant parameters of the piston rod 2. The piston 5 is located at the end of the piston rod 2 away from the sensing block 8, forming a sealed space with the internal chamber of the cylinder 1. When the cylinder 1 is filled with air, the piston 5 is moved by the pressure, thereby pushing the piston rod 2 and the sensing block 8 and other components.
[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , the clamping state of the tolerance hook clamping cylinder of the application: the cylinder 1 inhales, the piston 5 is located at the end of the piston rod 2 away from the inductive block 8, forms a sealed space with the internal chamber of the cylinder 1, forms negative pressure with the left inner wall of the cylinder 1, the piston 5 is moved under the action of pressure, thereby driving the inductive block 8 to move, the connecting piece 11 drives the roller 13 of the connecting shaft 12 to move upward along the groove limit in the guide block 4, and the one end of the connecting shaft 12 of the hook 3 rotates counterclockwise along the elliptical trajectory, the connecting piece 11 and the connecting shaft 12 connected with the hook 3 transmit force to make the hook 3 rotate to the clamping state.
[0034] As shown in Figure 2 , the opening process of the tolerance hook clamping cylinder of the application: the cylinder 1 exhales, the piston 5 is located at the end of the piston rod 2 away from the inductive block 8, forms a sealed space with the internal chamber of the cylinder 1, when the cylinder 1 exhales, the piston 5 loses the force provided by the cylinder 1 when it inhales, the connecting piece 11 drives the roller 13 of the connecting shaft 12 to move backward along the groove limit in the guide block 4, and the one end of the connecting shaft 12 of the hook 3 rotates clockwise along the elliptical trajectory, the connecting piece 11 and the connecting shaft 12 connected with the hook 3 transmit force to make the hook 3 rotate to the opening state, and the positioning pin 10 limits and prevents dust from entering the extension of the hook 3.
[0035] Preferably, since the hook 3 in the cylinder 1 moves along the groove of the guide block 4, rather than irregular motion of the traditional hook cylinder, the dustproof self-locking hook clamping cylinder 1 can customize the guide block 4, has a larger tolerance range, and realizes a larger material thickness compensation function than the traditional cylinder 1.
[0036] Preferably, the cylinder 1 of the utility model can have a conventional tolerance range of 5mm by using a conventional specification guide block 4, and can have a tolerance range of 7mm by customizing the guide block 4.
[0037] Therefore, under the premise of having considerable clamping force, a conventional tolerance range of 5mm, a customizable tolerance range of 7mm, and a positioning hook, the tolerance hook clamping cylinder 1 can be additionally provided with a gas pressure maintaining machine and a gas cut-off self-locking assembly, meets the use requirements of various working conditions and different sites, has good clamping performance in complex working conditions, and can meet the service life of products.
[0038] Preferably, the limiting adjusting device 6 is a hexagonal nut.
