[0034] As described in the background section, the structure of the key is relatively complex, and the existing clamping tool cannot implement stable clamping of the key. During the laser cleaning process, the key is prone to shaking. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a special key clamping tool to implement stable clamping of the key.

[0035] Therefore, the present application first provides a key clamping tool applied to a key laser cleaning device. Figures 1 to 2 A key clamping tool in an embodiment of the present application is shown, Figures 3 to 4 A key clamping tool in another embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the key clamping tool 10 in the embodiment of the present application comprises a chuck 1, a fixing rod 2, and a clamping assembly 3, wherein:

[0037] The first end of the fixing rod 2 is fixedly installed on the chuck 1.

[0038] The clamping assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the second end of the fixing rod 2. The clamping assembly 3 is provided with at least one clamping groove that matches the shape of the key 100 to be cleaned. The clamping groove is used to clamp the key 100 to be cleaned.

[0039] The key clamping fixture 10 provided in this embodiment has a clamping groove on its clamping component 3 that matches the shape of the key 100 to be cleaned, thus enabling stable clamping of the key 100 to be cleaned. Furthermore, the clamping component 3 is fixed to the chuck 1 by a fixing rod 2, preventing accidental rotation of the clamping component 3 and the key 100 on it.

[0040] By using the key clamping fixture 10 in this embodiment to clamp the key 100 to be cleaned, the laser cleaning effect of the key laser cleaning device on the key 100 can be improved.

[0041] The chuck 1 can be any existing chuck structure, such as a pneumatic chuck, capable of clamping the fixed rod 2.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, optionally, the clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping base 31 and a clamping bolt 32, wherein: the clamping base 31 includes an integrally formed support portion 311 and a clamping portion 312, the support portion 311 has a clamping groove, the clamping portion 312 is located above the support portion 311, and a receiving space for avoiding the key 100 is provided between the clamping portion 312 and the support portion 311, and a screw hole is provided on the clamping portion 312 in a vertical direction. The clamping bolt 32 is screwed onto the clamping portion 312, and the clamping bolt 32 is used to press the key 100 clamped in the clamping groove downward.

[0043] The clamping process of the clamping component 3 on the key 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0044] First, screw the clamping bolt 32 upward to create accommodating space, thus avoiding the key 100. Then, place the key 100 into the clamping groove. Next, screw the clamping bolt 32 downward into the accommodating space, so that the clamping bolt 32 presses the key 100 downward.

[0045] After laser cleaning of key 100 is completed, tighten bolt 32 upwards again to open up the receiving space, and then remove key 100 from the clamping slot.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 4As shown, optionally, the clamping assembly 3 comprises a lower clamping seat 33 and an upper clamping seat 34, wherein: the lower clamping seat 33 is provided with a lower clamping groove 331, the upper clamping seat 34 is rotationally connected to the lower clamping seat 33, and the upper clamping seat 34 is provided with an upper clamping groove 341 matched with the lower clamping groove 331, and the upper clamping groove 341 has an exposed port on the upper surface of the upper clamping seat 34.

[0047] When the upper clamping seat 34 rotates towards the lower clamping seat 33, the upper clamping seat 34 covers the lower clamping seat 33, the upper clamping groove 341 and the lower clamping groove 331 are buckled to form a clamping groove, and the exposed port is used to expose the part to be cleaned of the key 100 in the clamping groove.

[0048] The clamping process of the clamping assembly 3 in the embodiment of the present application on the key 100 is as follows:

[0049] First, control the upper clamping seat 34 to rotate away from the lower clamping seat 33 to separate the upper clamping seat 34 and the lower clamping seat 33. Then, place the key 100 into the lower clamping groove 331. Next, control the upper clamping seat 34 to rotate towards the lower clamping seat 33, so that the upper clamping seat 34 covers the lower clamping seat 33, and the upper clamping groove 341 and the lower clamping groove 331 cooperate to clamp the key 100.

[0050] After the laser cleaning of the clamped key 100 is completed through the exposed port on the upper surface of the upper clamping seat 34, control the upper clamping seat 34 to rotate away from the lower clamping seat 33 again to separate the upper clamping seat 34 and the lower clamping seat 33, and then the key 100 can be taken out from the lower clamping groove 331.

[0051] Optionally, the clamping assembly 3 in the embodiment of the present application further comprises a C-shaped clamp 35.

[0053] In this way, when it is necessary to replace the clamping assembly 3 for clamping the key 100 to be cleaned, the fixed rod 2 of the current clamping assembly 3 can be taken out from the sleeve 4, and the fixed rod 2 of the new clamping assembly 3 for clamping the key 100 to be cleaned can be inserted and fixed into the sleeve 4, so as to improve the replacement efficiency of the clamping assembly 3. That is, the chuck 1 keeps clamping the sleeve 4 continuously, and during the replacement of the clamping assembly 3, it is not necessary to control the clamping assembly 3 to perform clamping and releasing actions.

[0054] Optionally, a key groove is arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve 4, and a first end of the fixing rod 2 is provided with a flat key matched with the key groove. The first end of the fixing rod 2 is clamped in the sleeve 4 through the flat key and the key groove, so as to prevent the fixing rod 2 from rotating relative to the sleeve 4.
