Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0017] See Figs. 1 to 3 This utility model provides an improved double-hook clamping cylinder, which includes an upper cylinder body and a lower cylinder body, and a piston rod 3131 partially located in the lower cylinder body. A first clamping seat 33 and a second clamping seat 34 are provided at the top of the upper cylinder body, wherein the height of the first clamping seat 33 is greater than the height of the second clamping seat 34, thus forming an asymmetrical clamping structure in terms of shape design. A first connecting rod 11 and a second connecting rod 21 are also provided in the upper cylinder body, and the bottoms of these two connecting rods are hinged to the piston rod 31 via a pin 32, forming a linkage transmission structure.
[0018] Inside the upper cylinder, a pair of hook-shaped components are provided. The upper part of each hook-shaped component has a claw 221 extending from the upper cylinder body for easy clamping of the workpiece. The hook-shaped components consist of a first hook-shaped component 12 and a second hook-shaped component 22, wherein the height of the first hook-shaped component 12 is greater than the height of the second hook-shaped component 22, facilitating an asymmetrical clamping design with the clamping seat. The bottom of the first hook-shaped component 12 is hinged to the upper part of the first connecting rod 11 via a first hinge shaft 13, while the bottom of the second hook-shaped component 22 is hinged to the upper part of the second connecting rod 21 via a second hinge shaft 23. Furthermore, both the first hook-shaped component 12 and the second hook-shaped component 22 have shaft holes in their middle sections, which serve as rotation fulcrums, allowing the hook-shaped components to rotate around them. Two positioning shafts for mounting the hook-shaped components are also arranged inside the upper cylinder. The hook-shaped components are mounted on these positioning shafts through the shaft holes, ensuring precise positioning and stability during movement.
[0019] Because the height of the first clamping seat 33 is greater than the height of the second clamping seat 34, and the height of the first hook-shaped member 12 is greater than the height of the second hook-shaped member 22, an asymmetrical clamping structure is formed. This structure is not only more flexible in terms of spatial arrangement, but also has higher adaptability and reliability in terms of performance.
[0020] The core of this double-hook clamping mechanism lies in its structural design. It consists of two independent hook-shaped components that move synchronously through a pneumatic cylinder. Each hook-shaped component is designed with a certain degree of flexibility or adjustability to better accommodate workpieces of different shapes and sizes. This flexible structure allows the clamping mechanism to be widely used in industrial production, especially for clamping complex-shaped workpieces.
[0021] Working principle
[0022] When a workpiece needs to be clamped, the two hook-shaped components of the double-hook clamping mechanism move towards the workpiece simultaneously under the drive of the pneumatic cylinder. As the hook-shaped components move forward, their hook claws 221 firmly clamp the workpiece, forming a stable clamping state. This clamping method not only provides reliable fixation, but also accommodates workpieces of various complex shapes or irregular sizes. The double-hook design achieves good balance during clamping, making the entire mechanism more stable and avoiding deviation or sliding due to asymmetric forces.
[0023] The clamping action of this mechanism is driven by the pneumatic cylinder of the lower cylinder body, which pushes the connecting rod to move, providing a force amplification effect for the clamping action through the lever principle. The design of the double-hook claws 221 allows them to clamp two clamping seats simultaneously on both sides, and through the connecting rod, it achieves coordinated and consistent lever force amplification clamping, ensuring the secure fixation of the workpiece.
[0024] Practical performance test
[0025] To verify the actual effect of the double-hook clamping mechanism, multiple experimental tests were conducted. During the clamping of workpieces, the force values generated during clamping were checked one by one to ensure that the force values were always higher than the force values generated by the pneumatic cylinder. At the same time, in order to evaluate the durability and performance stability of the mechanism, not less than 50 independent clamping tests were conducted on the double-hook clamping mechanism. In these tests, the force values generated by each clamping were strictly recorded, and the upper and lower limit errors of the specified force values were not more than ±3%. The experimental results show that the double-hook clamping mechanism performs excellently in all tests, with stable clamping force values within the specified range, and the clamping effect meets the design requirements.
[0026] Through such structural optimization and performance verification, the double-hook clamping pneumatic cylinder not only has high-efficiency and stable clamping capability, but also exhibits high adaptability and reliability, providing an ideal solution for complex clamping needs in industrial production.
[0027] The double-hook clamping pneumatic cylinder provided by the utility model has the following advantages:
[0028] The clamping effect is good, the lever force clamping is realized through the connecting rod, and uniform clamping of the double-groove-shaped workpiece can be ensured. The stability is high, the clamping body has sufficient strength and rigidity, and the stability of the mechanism during clamping can be ensured. The operation is simple, and the clamping part can be driven to move and rotate through the rotating screw rod, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0029] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
