Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0046] This utility model embodiment provides a cylindrical object clamp, see reference. Figures 1 to 3 The clamp includes a linkage assembly 1, two grippers 2, and a release lever structure 3, wherein:

[0047] The linkage assembly 1 includes two first linkage structures 11 and two second linkage structures 12. The upper ends of the two first linkage structures 11 are hinged to each other, and the lower ends of the two first linkage structures 11 are respectively hinged to the upper ends of the two second linkage structures 12. The two second linkage structures 12 are cross-hinged.

[0048] Two grippers 2 are positioned opposite each other and are respectively connected to the lower ends of two second link structures 12;

[0049] The release lever structure 3 is connected between two first link structures 11 and / or two second link structures 12, and it can limit the distance between the two grippers 2 during the gripping process.

[0050] Specifically, the linkage assembly 1 also includes a first pin 13, a second pin 14, and a third pin 15, wherein:

[0051] The first pin 13 passes through the hinged ends of the two first connecting rod structures 11;

[0052] There are two second pins 14, which are respectively inserted through the hinge ends of the first link structure 11 and the second link structure 12.

[0053] The third pin 15 passes through the hinge position of the two second connecting rod structures 12.

[0054] The hinges of the connecting rods are achieved through the aforementioned pins.

[0055] Based on the above structure, the release lever structure 3 is connected between the two second pins 14, which can limit the distance between the two second pins 14 during the clamping process, thereby limiting the distance between the two grippers 2.

[0056] The operating principle of the above-mentioned fixture is as follows: (Refer to...) Figure 1 Press down on the first pin 13 to reduce the distance between the first pin 13 and the third pin 15. At this time, the distance between the two second pins 14 increases, and the distance between the two grippers 2 also increases accordingly. The workpiece (the position indicated by the dotted line in the drawing) can be easily moved between the two grippers 2; refer to Figure 2 When it is necessary to lift the workpiece, the first pin 13 is pulled down to increase the distance between the first pin 13 and the third pin 15. At this time, the distance between the two jaws 2 is also reduced accordingly, so that the workpiece can be clamped. After the fixture is lifted by the crane, due to the gravity of the connecting rod assembly 1 and the workpiece, the clamping force of the two jaws 2 on the workpiece becomes larger and larger. In addition, the release rod structure 3 can also limit the distance between the two jaws 2 during the clamping process, ensuring that the two jaws 2 can firmly grasp the workpiece, thereby improving the handling efficiency and avoiding the safety hazard of the workpiece falling off.

[0057] To facilitate hoisting, the cylindrical object clamp also includes a lifting ring 5 connected to the hinged ends of the two first connecting rod structures 11. Specifically, the lifting ring 5 has a mounting hole and a hoisting hole. The mounting hole is fitted onto the first pin 13, and the hoisting hole is used to connect a crane.

[0058] In addition, the aforementioned ring 5 can also be replaced with a hook.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The trip lever structure 3 has a fixed end and a movable end that are arranged opposite to each other, wherein:

[0060] The fixed end is rotatably connected to one of the second pins 14;

[0061] The active end can lock or release the position of another second pin 14.

[0062] Specifically, the fixed end of the trip lever structure 3 is fitted onto one of the second pins 14, and the movable end of the trip lever structure 3 falls onto the other second pin 14 under the action of gravity. (Refer to...) Figure 4 A card plate 31 is provided near the movable end. A vertical plane 311 is provided on the side of the card plate 31 near the fixed end. A guide slope 312 is provided on the side of the card plate 31 near the movable end.

[0063] The working principle of the release lever structure 3 is as follows: (Refer to...) Figure 2 When the two grippers open to a certain extent, the second pin 14 near the movable end is located on one side of the guide slope 312. At this time, if the first pin 13 is pulled upward, the second pin 14 will move along the guide slope 312 during the pulling process until it moves to one side of the vertical plane 311 (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 4 (As shown); after the second pin 14 moves to one side of the vertical plane 311, the vertical plane 311 can lock the position of the second pin 14, thereby locking the distance between the two grippers 2 and ensuring that the workpiece will not fall off.

[0064] As an optional embodiment, a slot 32 is provided near the movable end for engaging with the second pin 14. Specifically, the slot 32 is located on one side of the guide slope 312 and is used to limit the opening degree of the two grippers 2.

[0065] As an optional embodiment, the cylindrical object clamp also includes a torsion spring 4, which is mounted on a second pin 14 rotatably connected to the fixed end. One of the leads of the torsion spring 4 is connected to one of the first connecting rod structures 11 or one of the second connecting rod structures 12, and the other lead of the torsion spring 4 is connected to the release rod structure 3.

[0066] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5In this embodiment, one of the leads of the torsion spring 4 is inserted into one of the first connecting rod structures 11, and the other lead of the torsion spring 4 is inserted into the release rod structure 3. The torsion spring 4 can provide an elastic force to drive the first connecting rod structure 11 and the release rod structure 3 away from each other, so that the movable end of the release rod structure 3 is not easy to float up and down.

[0067] In other embodiments, one of the leads of the torsion spring 4 is inserted into one of the second link structures 12, and the other lead of the torsion spring 4 is inserted into the trip lever structure 3. The torsion spring 4 can provide an elastic force to drive the second link structure 12 and the trip lever structure 3 toward each other.

[0068] Continue to refer to Figure 5 The first link structure 11 includes two parallel and spaced first flat plates 111;

[0069] And / or, the second linkage structure 12 includes two parallel spaced second plates 121;

[0070] And / or, the trip lever structure 3 includes two parallel, spaced-apart third plates 33.

[0071] The above structure can improve the structural strength of the linkage structure and the release rod structure 3.

[0072] In other embodiments, the first link structure 11, the second link structure 12, and the release lever structure 3 may also be a single long rod.

[0073] Reference Figure 6 As an optional embodiment, the gripper 2 includes an arc-shaped gripping portion 21 and a fixing portion 22, wherein:

[0074] The curvature of the arc-shaped clamping part 21 is adapted to the workpiece being clamped;

[0075] The fixing part 22 is connected to the lower end of the corresponding second link structure 12.

[0076] Furthermore, the fixing part 22 is connected to the lower end of the corresponding second link structure 12 via one or more fourth pins.

[0077] As an optional embodiment, the fixing part 22 is fixed to the lower end of the corresponding second link structure 12 by a plurality of fourth pins, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fixing part 22 is fixed to the lower end of the corresponding second link structure 12 by two fourth pins.

[0078] As another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the fixing part 22 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the corresponding second link structure 12 via a fourth pin. Figure 6In the embodiment shown, the gripper 2 can rotate around the fourth pin within a certain range, thereby enabling it to fit tightly against the surface of the workpiece and further improving the stability of the workpiece during the gripping process.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
