TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of clamps for grabbing sample, especially a kind of clamp suitable for grabbing steel sample, belong to clamp technical field for testing machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] In building structural materials, steel bar is an important component, and the performance of steel bar directly affects the suitability and safety of the structure. Therefore, the quality requirement of steel bar is very high, and the necessary performance detection needs to be carried out before steel bar is used for engineering construction. For example, CN 117705589 A discloses an invention patent application entitled "Method for detecting test piece by intelligent detection system for steel bar tensile test" submitted by the applicant. The technical solution adopts a robot to replace manual clamping of the sample, and then sends the sample to a test piece measuring device. After measurement, the sample can be sent to a test station of the testing machine, and the sample waste after testing can be clamped from the test station and sent to a sample waste recycling device. The whole testing process does not require manual intervention, and the clamping, measurement, sending to the testing machine for detection and collection of test waste can be realized automatically, with low labor intensity of the tester and high overall testing efficiency of the testing machine. The whole testing process is assisted by the test piece clamp of the robot working end to grab the sample, but the existing test piece clamp generally sets a V-shaped opening on the clamping plate to facilitate clamping of circular samples such as steel bars. The clamping effect of this structure is not ideal when clamping threaded steel samples. Threaded steel is a steel bar with ribs on the surface, also known as ribbed steel bar, usually with 2 longitudinal ribs and transverse ribs evenly distributed along the length direction. The transverse ribs have a spiral shape, a herringbone shape or a crescent shape. Because the threaded steel has longitudinal ribs and transverse ribs on the outside, the contact area is small, so the sample cannot be clamped stably, and the sample is easy to tilt. When the test piece clamp grabs the sample and moves between test procedures, the sample is easy to slip or even fall, which causes trouble in testing. When the sample is tilted, the measurement is not accurate, the test cannot be correctly sent to the clamping jaw of the testing machine, manual intervention is required, and the testing efficiency is reduced. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model aims at overcoming the defects of prior art, and provides a steel sample clamp to solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] The utility model discloses the technical scheme adopted for realizing the above-mentioned purposes is:
[0005] A steel sample clamp, comprising a connecting disc connectable with a wrist of a robot, a parallel pneumatic finger cylinder mounted on the connecting disc, an upper clamp seat and a lower clamp seat respectively connected to two parallel clamping jaws of the pneumatic finger cylinder, an upper clamping arm and a lower clamping arm respectively connected to the upper clamp seat and the lower clamp seat, and the pneumatic finger cylinder driving the two parallel clamping jaws to move towards or away from each other to drive the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm to clamp or release a sample.
[0006] In the steel sample clamp, rear ends of the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm are connecting ends, and front ends thereof are working ends, the connecting ends are connected to the parallel clamping jaws, the working end of the upper clamping arm and the working end of the lower clamping arm are symmetrically provided with V-shaped grooves on a side facing each other, and a rectangular groove is arranged at the bottom of the V-shaped groove.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the V-shaped grooves are symmetrically arranged on the side of the working end of the upper clamping arm and the working end of the lower clamping arm facing each other, which is suitable for clamping a sample with a circular cross section, the V-shaped grooves play a positioning role, and when the V-shaped grooves contact the sample during clamping, the sample is limited, so that the sample gradually moves to the middle of the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm, thereby ensuring coaxiality; the rectangular groove arranged at the bottom of the V-shaped groove is more suitable for clamping a threaded steel sample, and the rectangular groove can accommodate longitudinal ribs on the threaded steel sample, so that the sample is clamped more firmly.
[0008] Further, the upper clamping arm comprises a left upper clamping arm and a right upper clamping arm, the lower clamping arm comprises a left lower clamping arm and a right lower clamping arm, and the left upper clamping arm, the right upper clamping arm, the left lower clamping arm and the right lower clamping arm are all provided with three V-shaped grooves, so that three samples can be clamped at the same time.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the left upper clamping arm, the right upper clamping arm, the left lower clamping arm and the right lower clamping arm are all provided with three V-shaped grooves, so that three samples can be clamped at the same time, which is more suitable for clamping the samples from a sample storage rack into a measuring device, measuring the weight and size of the samples before testing, and greatly improving the measuring efficiency.
[0010] In the steel sample clamp, a recess is arranged in the V-shaped groove, a clamping block is arranged in the recess, the shape of the upper surface of the clamping block is adapted to the two side surfaces of the V-shaped groove and the rectangular groove, and a compression spring is arranged between the clamping block and the bottom of the recess.
[0011] Further, the side surface of the clamping block is adapted to the side wall surface of the recess, the lower surface of the clamping block is provided with a guide rod, the end of the guide rod is provided with a clamping groove, the bottom of the recess is provided with a through hole, the compression spring is sleeved on the guide rod, the end of the guide rod extends out through the through hole, and the elastic retaining ring for shaft is clamped into the clamping groove.
[0012] By adopting the technical scheme, the recess is arranged in the V-shaped groove, and the clamping block is arranged in the recess, so that the threaded steel sample is more conveniently clamped, especially when the three V-shaped grooves on the clamping arm clamp the sample at the same time, although the bottom of the V-shaped groove is provided with the rectangular groove which can accommodate the longitudinal rib on the threaded steel sample, the threaded steel sample also has a transverse rib, so that the contact area is small and the sample cannot be stably clamped, and if the sizes of the samples in the three V-shaped grooves are slightly different, the thinnest sample will not be clamped firmly, which leads to slipping or even falling. After the clamping block is arranged, the difference in the sizes of the samples can be effectively compensated, and when the sample is clamped, the spring is compressed, so that each sample can be clamped tightly. By adjusting the pre-tightening force of the compression spring, the clamping force can also be adjusted, which is beneficial to accurately clamping the sample and preventing the sample from moving when clamping. Advantageous effects
[0013] 1. Suitable for clamping a round sample, especially a threaded steel sample;
[0014] 2. Three samples can be clamped at the same time, which is more suitable for clamping the sample from the sample storage rack into the measuring device, measuring the weight and size of the sample before testing, and can greatly improve the measuring efficiency;
[0015] 3. The recess is arranged in the V-shaped groove of the clamping arm, the clamping block is arranged in the recess, and the spring is arranged between the clamping block and the clamping arm, which can allow the sample to have a certain diameter error, can effectively compensate for the difference in the size of the sample, and when the sample is clamped, the spring is compressed, so that each sample can be clamped tightly even if multiple samples are clamped.
