It includes a truss assembled from profiles, an annular guide rail, an adsorption mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. This utility model has the following advantages: the adsorption mechanism on the belt-driven guide rail transports materials, with a simple structure, convenient operation, and easy maintenance; the adsorption mechanism slides smoothly and quickly on the guide rail through a groove with rollers installed in the guide rail, resulting in high conveying efficiency; and the use of standard parts such as belts, rollers, and cylinders makes maintenance and replacement convenient and simple, with low maintenance and replacement costs.
[0004] However, when the above-mentioned device is in use, it relies on the suction cup and air hole to hold the top of the item. As the usage time increases, dust, debris and other impurities in the air will inevitably enter the air hole. These impurities gradually accumulate, causing the air hole to become blocked, affecting the suction effect of the suction cup, and even causing the item to fall off. Moreover, the size of the suction cup is fixed, and it cannot fix items of different sizes, which is not very practical. Therefore, an adjustable clamping mechanism of the transfer machine is needed.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an adjustable clamping mechanism for a transfer machine. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 The adjustable clamping mechanism of the transfer machine includes several sliding parts 1 and a transfer machine body 2 on which the sliding parts 1 are installed. The bottom of the sliding parts 1 is fixedly installed with a fixing plate 3 by an electric cylinder.

[0027] Specifically, the movement of the sliding member 1 can transfer and transport items, placing them between the limiting rods 7. The limiting rods 7 slide within the inner walls of the connecting port 5 and the limiting port 6, clamping the sides of items of different sizes. This improves the practicality and flexibility of the transfer machine, enabling it to better adapt to various handling tasks.
[0028] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the fixing plate 3 is rotatably connected to several gears 8 via bearings. The gears 8 correspond one-to-one with the limiting rods 7. A toothed plate 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting rods 7. The toothed plate 9 forms a sliding fit with the inner wall of the connecting port 5, and the toothed plate 9 meshes with the gears 8.
[0029] Specifically, the toothed plate 9 is designed to be subjected to force when the gear 8 rotates. At this time, the toothed plate 9 can slide in the inner wall of the connection port 5, thereby changing the position of the limit rod 7.
[0030] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the fixing plate 3 is rotatably connected to a gear ring 10 via a bearing. The outer ring of the gear ring 10 meshes with the gear 8. The bottom of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a rotatable rotating tooth 11, which meshes with the inner ring of the gear ring 10.
[0031] Specifically, the rotating teeth 11 can apply force to the gear ring 10 when rotating, which can make the gear ring 10 rotate, and the rotation of the gear ring 10 can make the gear 8 rotate.
[0032] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rotating motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 3, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 12 is fixed to the rotating gear 11.
[0033] Specifically, the rotating motor 12 can rotate the rotating gear 11 when the output shaft rotates, which facilitates the clamping and releasing operation of the limit rod 7 on the item.
[0034] As a further improvement of this utility model, the material feeding mechanism includes a material feeding plate 15 located below the fixed shell 4. The top inner wall of the fixed shell 4 is provided with a positioning port 14. The inner wall of the positioning port 14 is slidably connected with a positioning plate 13 in an L-shaped structure. The vertical end of the positioning plate 13 is fixed to the material feeding plate 15.
[0035] Specifically, the positioning plate 13 can slide within the inner wall of the positioning port 14, allowing the material drop plate 15 to move up and down, facilitating the dropping of items.
[0036] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the fixing plate 3 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 16 via a bearing, and the threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to the horizontal end of the positioning plate 13.
[0037] Specifically, the threaded rod 16 can apply force to the positioning plate 13 when rotating, allowing the positioning plate 13 to slide within the inner wall of the positioning port 14.
[0038] As a further improvement of this utility model, an adjusting plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the limiting rods 7, and an adjusting tooth 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom extension end of the threaded rod 16, the adjusting tooth 18 meshing with the adjusting plate 17.
[0039] Specifically, the adjustable plate 17 can move when the limit rod 7 moves. The movement of the adjustable plate 17 can apply force to the adjusting teeth 18, which can make the threaded rod 16 rotate in both directions.
[0040] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the sliding part 1 on the transplanter body 2 can transfer and transport items as the sliding part 1 moves. When clamping the items, the items are positioned between the limiting rods 7. Starting the rotating motor 12 can cause the rotating gear 11 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating gear 11 can cause the gear ring 10 to rotate. The rotation of the gear ring 10 can cause all the gears 8 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the gears 8 can apply force to the tooth plate 9. The force on the tooth plate 9 can cause the limiting rod 7 to slide in the inner wall of the connecting port 5 and the inner wall of the limiting port 6. The sides of items of different sizes can be clamped. Therefore, the practicality and flexibility of the transplanter are improved, making it better able to adapt to various different handling tasks.
[0042] During the clamping process, the movement of the limiting rod 7 causes the adjusting plate 17 to apply force to the adjusting teeth 18. At this time, the threaded rod 16 will rotate, which, together with the sliding of the positioning plate 13 in the positioning port 14, causes the dropping plate 15 to rise. When the limiting rod 7 separates from the item, the above operation is reversed. At this time, the dropping plate 15 can apply force to the top of the item, which can facilitate the separation of the item from the limiting rod 7 and ensure the smooth dropping of the item.
