[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This application provides an adaptive clamping mechanism for cylindrical materials in AGVs, and offers the following technical solution, which will be discussed below. Figures 1-6 Please provide a detailed explanation:

[0027] An adaptive clamping mechanism for cylindrical materials used in AGVs, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes two fixed seats 1, and a double-threaded screw 2 passes through the inner side of the two fixed seats 1. The two ends of the double-threaded screw 2 are sleeved with shaft seats 20. The double threads of the double-threaded screw 2 are located at both ends, and the helical directions of the threads at both ends are opposite. A connecting rod 3 is installed at the bottom end of the fixed seat 1. A pin 9 passes through the top end of the connecting rod 3 and the bottom end of the fixed seat 1. A support arm 4 is welded and fixed to the bottom end of the connecting rod 3. A clamping block 5 is installed at the bottom end of the support arm 4. A through hole 16 is opened on the clamping block 5. A sleeve shaft 11 passes through the through hole 16 and the bottom end of the support arm 4.

[0028] The double thread screw rod 2 is threadedly connected with the sliding sleeve 7, the outer side of the sliding sleeve 7 is provided with the U-shaped seat 6 through bolt installation, the bottom end of the U-shaped seat 6 is provided with the connecting rod 8, the top end of the connecting rod 8 is penetrated by the pin 10, the bottom end of the connecting rod 8 is hingedly connected with the bottom end of the connecting rod 3, the middle of the double thread screw rod 2 is provided with the sprocket 24 through bolt installation, the side of the double thread screw rod 2 is provided with the rack 21, the rack 21 is provided with the motor 22 through bolt installation, the output end of the motor 22 is provided with the sprocket 23 through bolt installation, the sprocket 23 and the sprocket 24 are sleeved with the transmission chain 25.

[0029] Before use, the motor 22 is started, the output end of the motor 22 drives the sprocket 23 to rotate, the sprocket 23 and the sprocket 24 are sleeved with the transmission chain 25, the sprocket 24 is driven to rotate under the transmission of the transmission chain 25, the sprocket 24 is installed with the double thread screw rod 2, so that the double thread screw rod 2 is finally driven to rotate, at this time, the sliding sleeve 7 threadedly connected with the double thread screw rod 2 is driven to move linearly along the double thread screw rod 2 under the driving of the thread structure, the two threads of the double thread screw rod 2 are opposite, so that the movement of the two sliding sleeves 7 on the double thread screw rod 2 is relative movement, that is, the two sliding sleeves 7 are simultaneously close to each other or simultaneously far away from each other, the two sliding sleeves 7 are first controlled to be simultaneously far away from each other, so that the gap of the two clamping blocks 5 is expanded to ensure that the cylindrical material to be clamped can be accommodated.

[0030] At this time, the cylindrical material can be driven to move upward by other mechanisms, so that it enters between the two clamping blocks 5, when the two clamping blocks 5 are located below the widest position of the cylindrical material, the upward movement of the cylindrical material is stopped, at this time, the motor 22 is controlled to work again, at this time, the motor 22 is reversely driven to drive the two sliding sleeves 7 to be close to each other, as the two sliding sleeves 7 are continuously close to each other, the two clamping blocks 5 abut against the circumferential surface of the cylindrical material, at this time, the motor 22 continues to reverse, the two sliding sleeves 7 continue to be close to each other, under the continuous movement of the sliding sleeve 7, the connecting rod 8 pushes the connecting rod 3, so that it is pushed to the middle of the double thread screw rod 2, since the clamping block 5 has abutted against the cylindrical material at this time, the pushing force of the connecting rod 8 on the connecting rod 3 is finally applied to the cylindrical material by the clamping block 5, so that the clamping block 5 clamps the cylindrical material, when the running load of the motor 22 exceeds the safety range, the motor 22 is stopped, which indicates that the clamping block 5 has completely clamped the cylindrical material.

[0031] As shown in Figure 5 The outer side of the clamping block 5 has three protruding parts, the through hole 16 is formed in one of the protruding parts.

[0032] When the clamping block 5 approaches the cylindrical material, the remaining two protruding parts abut against the surface of the cylindrical material, the protruding of the protruding part is beneficial to clamping the surface of the cylindrical material, so as to ensure that there is a large enough contact surface, thereby improving the stability during clamping.

[0033] As Figure 3 shown, the support arm 4 above the sleeve shaft 11 is bolted with a crossbar 13, the top of the clamping block 5 is welded with a hanging lug 15, the hanging lug 15 and the crossbar 13 are installed with a tension spring 14, and the two ends of the tension spring 14 are hooked on the hanging lug 15 and the crossbar 13.

[0034] The tension spring 14 always pulls the top end of the clamping block 5, when the clamping block 5 is located below the widest position of the cylindrical material and starts to clamp the cylindrical material, the tension spring 14 pulls the clamping block 5, so that the protruding part at the bottom of the clamping block 5 is inclined upward, thereby stably abutting against the surface of the cylindrical material, and the cylindrical material is slightly lifted upward through the force direction from both sides to the middle of the two clamping blocks 5, which can balance a part of the gravity of the cylindrical material during the clamping and transporting, and if the cylindrical material falls, it not only needs to overcome the pressure applied by the lower clamping block 5 pushed by the connecting rod 8, but also needs to overcome the support of the protruding part at the bottom of the clamping block 5 to the cylindrical material pulled by the tension spring 14, so the difficulty of the cylindrical material falling is increased, and the reliability and stability of the clamping are improved.

[0035] As Figure 4 shown, the remaining two protruding parts of the clamping block 5 are provided with through holes two 17, the diameter of the through holes two 17 is smaller than the diameter of the through holes one 16, the clamping block 5 on both sides of the through holes two 17 is installed with a roller 18, and the middle of the roller 18 is penetrated with a pin three 19 in the through holes two 17.

[0036] The roller 18 can rotate under the support of the pin three 19, after the clamping operation once, the next clamping operation can be reset while controlling the motor 22 to work, so that the two clamping blocks 5 are opened, at this time the roller 18 can contact and roll on the surface of the cylindrical material until the clamping block 5 is located below the widest position of the cylindrical material for clamping, the reset of the two clamping blocks 5 can be performed at the same time when the entire clamping mechanism is reset, which saves the reset waiting time, and the roller 18 facilitates the contact with the surface of the cylindrical material. At the same time, if the cylindrical material is a material with a surface that is easy to damage, the roller 18 can avoid or reduce the damage to the surface of the cylindrical material.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the fixed seat 1 is provided with two groups of two, the inner sides of the two groups of fixed seats 1 are penetrated with double-threaded lead screws 2, and the rack 21 is located at the middle position of the two double-threaded lead screws 2.

[0038] According to the length of the cylindrical material, the two groups of fixed seats 1 can be set with different distances to realize the effect of clamping from both ends or positions close to both ends of the cylindrical material, so as to balance the cylindrical material, especially the cylindrical material with a certain size, and ensure the stable stress after clamping.

[0039] As Figure 3As shown, the sleeve ring 12 is sleeved on the sleeve shaft 11 between the two sides of the clamping block 5 and the support arm 4.

[0040] The sleeve ring 12 is used for stabilizing the clamping block 5 without affecting the movement between the clamping block 5 and the support arm 4.

[0041] The above description of disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to carry out or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but will accord with the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
