Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to clamping mechanism technical field especially relates to a sheet metal double -armed clamping cylinder. BACKGROUND

[0002] The clamping cylinder plays an important role in the quality detection of sheet metal body resistance welding. During the welding process, the clamping cylinder can stably fix the sheet metal parts, ensuring the accuracy of the welding position. This not only helps to form uniform welding points, but also improves the welding strength and quality. By using the clamping cylinder, human operation errors can be reduced, product production efficiency and product consistency can be improved. In the quality detection link, the accurate control of the clamping cylinder is crucial for evaluating the welding quality. It can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detection results. Therefore, the clamping cylinder is an indispensable part of sheet metal body resistance welding, providing important technical support for the automobile manufacturing industry.

[0003] The shortcomings of the prior art mainly include the following aspects:

[0004] First, the opening angle of the cylinder is too small, limiting the extension of the transmission mechanism

[0005] The clamping cylinder widely used at present is usually limited in structure and space in design, and its opening angle is small. This limitation directly affects the free extension range of the transmission mechanism, making it difficult for the cylinder to meet the positioning needs of multiple angles and directions in the welding process of complex sheet metal workpieces. This not only reduces the flexibility of the equipment, but also may cause local interference of the workpiece during assembly, increasing the adjustment time and operation difficulty in the production process.

[0006] Second, the position of the cylinder is single when clamping, and only single-sided clamping is available

[0007] The clamping cylinder in the prior art mostly adopts single-sided clamping mode in clamping design, that is, the clamping position is usually fixed and difficult to adjust flexibly according to the shape and size of different workpieces. This single clamping method may cause some welding positions to be unable to be effectively fixed when facing diversified sheet metal parts, thereby increasing the risk of welding deformation. In addition, single-sided clamping may also cause local uneven stress during use, affecting the strength and consistency of the welding points and reducing the reliability of the overall welding quality.

[0008] In summary, although the existing clamping cylinder technology plays an important role in sheet metal body resistance welding, it still has obvious shortcomings in the activity range of the transmission mechanism and the diversity and flexibility of the clamping method. These shortcomings limit its application in complex working conditions and pose a challenge to the further improvement of welding quality. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0011] by the up-and-down movement of piston rod, the shaft sleeve is slid in the crescent hole, so as to realize the rotation of clamping arm, and the clamping screw is used for clamping or releasing workpiece. When the piston rod moves upward, it drives two clamping arms to open outward respectively, realizes maximum angle, can be adapted to larger workpiece, provides enough space for transmission mechanism. When the piston rod moves downward, it drives two clamping arms to tighten inward respectively, realizes the clamping of workpiece, and the clamping of double-side clamping arm is tight simultaneously. Force is applied, and the clamping is centered, which adapts to the demand of different occasions.

[0012] The utility model provides a kind of sheet metal double-arm clamping pneumatic cylinder with the following advantages:

[0013] By setting two symmetrical clamping arms, crescent hole structure is set on the clamping arm, the up-and-down movement of piston rod drives the shaft sleeve to slide in the crescent hole, realizes the flexible rotation of clamping arm, so that the clamping arm can be adapted to workpieces of different sizes and shapes when opening and clamping, greatly improves the application range of clamping pneumatic cylinder. When the piston rod moves upward, the clamping arm can open at a larger angle, effectively solving the problem that the opening angle is too small to limit transmission mechanism stretch in the prior art. When the piston rod moves downward, two clamping arms can symmetrically clamp workpieces, avoiding uneven stress caused by unilateral clamping, improving clamping stability and consistency of welding quality, while operation is more convenient, further improving production efficiency and process reliability.

The top of piston rod 26 is connected with the transverse arrangement of shaft sleeve 24, and shaft sleeve 24 is used to drive the clamping arm 22 of clamping pneumatic cylinder to realize rotation as an important component of transmission mechanism.
