[0034] Specifically, in the actual operation process, first, the fixed disc 4 is stably installed on the processing equipment, then the second pawl 312 is disengaged from the engagement state with the outer ratchet wheel 305 by moving the adjusting block 315, preparing for subsequent operation, the outer ratchet wheel 305 is rotated by the handle 5, since the outer ratchet wheel 305, the screw rod 302 and the inner ratchet wheel 306 are fixedly connected, when the outer ratchet wheel 305 rotates, the screw rod 302 and the inner ratchet wheel 306 will rotate synchronously, with the rotation of the inner ratchet wheel 306, the connecting ring 303 will move backward along the thread outside the screw rod 302, and then the rotating block 301 connected with it rotates, so that the hook body 1 expands outward in the chuck 2, realizing the opening of the hook, at the same time, the rotation of the inner ratchet wheel 306 also drives the second clockwork 314 to gradually contract in the chuck 2, effectively storing energy for later use, when the hook body 1 slides to the predetermined position, the force on the adjusting block 315 is released, the adjusting block 315 is automatically returned to the original position under the action of the second compression spring 309, driving the second pawl 312 to reengage with the outer ratchet wheel 305, locking the current state, at this time, the workpiece to be processed is placed on the support disc 6, the gravity of the workpiece drives the connecting rod 307 to slide in the chuck 2 and compresses the first compression spring 304, so that it deforms, the movement of the connecting rod 307 gradually releases the engagement state of the first pawl 311 and the inner ratchet wheel 306, triggering the second clockwork 314 to release the stored energy, driving the inner ratchet wheel 306 to rotate reversely in the chuck 2, the rotation of the inner ratchet wheel 306 is transmitted to the outer ratchet wheel 305 through the screw rod 302, at the same time, driving the screw rod 302 itself to move towards the fixed disc 4, the movement of the screw rod 302 promotes the forward movement of the connecting ring 303, and then drives the rotating block 301 and the hook body 1 to move towards each other in the chuck 2, until the workpiece is firmly clamped, so that the stability and reliability of the clamping process are improved, avoiding the loosening of the workpiece during the processing process, in the process of rotating the screw rod 302, the outer ratchet wheel 305 also rotates synchronously in the fixed disc 4, since one end of the first clockwork 308 is fixed outside the outer ratchet wheel 305, the rotation of the outer ratchet wheel 305 will make the first clockwork 308 further contract, increasing the stored energy, improving the work efficiency;

[0035] For the workpiece that has completed processing, when disassembling, only need to move the adjusting block 315 again, release the engagement of the second pawl 312 and the outer ratchet wheel 305, at this time, the first spring 304 rebounds rapidly, drives the outer ratchet wheel 305 and the screw rod 302, the inner ratchet wheel 306 connected with it to rotate reversely, the rotation of the screw rod 302 makes the connecting ring 303 move to the chuck 2 direction, the rotating block 301 rotates, finally makes the claw main body 1 gradually release the clamping of the workpiece, at this time, the workpiece can be easily taken out, at the same time, the first compression spring 304 rebounds, pushes the connecting rod 307 to reset, the first pawl 311 reengages with the inner ratchet wheel 306, prepares for the next workpiece clamping operation, in addition, the rotation of the inner ratchet wheel 306 also promotes the further contraction of the second spring 314, reserves energy for future use, and the energy of the first spring 308 and the second spring 314 can be enhanced by rotating the handle 5, improves the clamping effect, and the clamp can adapt to different specifications and shapes of workpieces, improves the versatility of the clamp, the whole clamping process is simple and fast, reduces the labor intensity of workers, at the same time, the clamp can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different processing requirements.

[0036] Working principle: in use, first install the fixed disc 4 on the machining equipment, move the adjusting block 315 to release the engagement relationship between the second pawl 312 and the outer ratchet wheel 305, then rotate the outer ratchet wheel 305, the screw rod 302 and the inner ratchet wheel 306 through the handle 5, make the connecting ring 303 move backward outside the screw rod 302 thread, the movement of the connecting ring 303 will drive the rotating block 301 to rotate, and then promote the claw main body 1 to move outward in the chuck 2, so that the claw main body 1 is opened, and the rotation of the inner ratchet wheel 306 will make the second spring 314 gradually contract in the chuck 2, store energy, when the claw main body 1 slides to the appropriate position, loosen the force on the adjusting block 315, make the second pawl 312 move, promote the second pawl 312 to engage with the outer ratchet wheel 305 again, then place the workpiece to be processed on the support disc 6, when the workpiece is placed on the support disc 6, it will push the connecting rod 307 to slide in the chuck 2, and pull the first compression spring 304 to deform, the movement of the connecting rod 307 will make the engagement connection between the first pawl 311 and the inner ratchet wheel 306 gradually release, promote the second spring 314 that stores energy to rebound, cause the inner ratchet wheel 306 to rotate in the chuck 2, the rotation of the inner ratchet wheel 306 will drive the screw rod 302 and the outer ratchet wheel 305 to rotate, the rotation of the screw rod 302 will make the connecting ring 303 outside it move to the fixed disc 4, and then drive the rotating block 301 to rotate, so that the claw main body 1 moves towards in the chuck 2, so as to complete the clamping operation of the workpiece;

[0037] Second, when the screw 302 rotates, will drive the outer gear 305 in the fixed disc 4 inside rotation, because the first spring 308 one end is fixed in its outside, when the outer gear 305 rotates, will make the first spring 308 gradually shrink, store energy, when the workpiece is disassembled, only need to move the adjusting block 315 makes it slide in the fixed disc 4 inside, and extrude the second compression spring 309, make it shrink, the movement of the adjusting block 315 will remove the second ratchet 312 and the engagement relationship of the outer gear 305, make the first spring 308 stored energy rebound, cause the outer gear 305 in the fixed disc 4 inside rotation, the rotation of the outer gear 305 will drive the screw 302 and the inner gear 306 rotation, the rotation of the screw 302 will make its outside connecting ring 303 to the chuck 2 and cause the rotating block 301 rotation, in turn make the hook main body 1 gradually release the clamping of the workpiece, at this time the workpiece is taken out, make the first compression spring 304 rebound drive connecting rod 307 reset, in turn make the first ratchet 311 inside the connecting rod 307 and the inner gear 306 meshing again, and the rotation of the inner gear 306 will make the second spring 314 connected with it gradually shrink, make it gradually store energy for the next workpiece clamping ready.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application have, and not for limiting the present application, although the foregoing detailed description of the present application is made with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for the person skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, within the spirit and principles of the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included in the scope of the present application.
