Detailed Implementation

[0026] Specific Implementation Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8A welding strip traction mechanism includes a base plate 1, a drive assembly 2, a gripper drive plate 3, and a gripper mechanism 4.

[0027] A groove 11 is provided in the middle of the base plate 1. One side edge of the groove 11 extends through the wall, and multiple evenly arranged fixing holes 12 are provided at the edge extending through the wall.

[0028] The drive assembly 2 is located inside the chamber 11 and is detachably connected to the base plate 1 by screws. The drive assembly 2 includes a telescopic cylinder 21, a pressure plate 22, and a bearing 23. The telescopic cylinder 21 is fixedly installed inside the chamber 11; the output end of the telescopic cylinder 21 is connected to the pressure plate 22 so as to drive the pressure plate 22 to move horizontally. The pressure plate 22 is slidably installed inside the chamber 11; a gripper limiting adjustment block 24 is detachably connected to the front end of the pressure plate 22. The gripper limiting adjustment block 24 is located inside the chamber 11, and its installation position is located on the telescopic path of the telescopic cylinder 21 so as to control the telescopic path length of the telescopic cylinder 21 and adjust the gripper clamping amount. A first guide rail 25 is provided at the lower end of the pressure plate 22. The length of the first guide rail 25 is less than the length of the edge penetrating the wall, and a limiting groove is provided at the lower end of the first guide rail 25. A limiting groove is formed on the chamber 11, and the length of the limiting groove is greater than the length of the edge of the wall. The first guide rail 25 is detachably connected to the limiting groove so that the first guide rail 25 can be adjusted to the corresponding position of the limiting groove at any time. A first connecting member 251 is provided between the first guide rail 25 and the pressure plate 22. The first connecting member 251 is sleeved on the first guide rail 25 and is slidably connected to the first guide rail 25. The first connecting member 251 is detachably connected to the pressure plate 22 so that the first connecting member 251 can drive the pressure plate 22 to move. The pressure plate 22 has an adjustment cavity at one end near the opening of the chamber 11. The top wall of the adjustment cavity abuts against the bearing 23. The height difference of the top wall of the adjustment cavity from left to right is the vertical movement path of the bearing 23. Specifically, the top wall of the adjustment cavity includes a low horizontal section, a descending section, and a high horizontal section from left to right. When the bearing 23 abuts against the top wall of the adjustment cavity, the adjustment cavity moves with the pressure plate 22, which can compress the bearing 23 to move accordingly. In this embodiment, the bearing 23 is a ball bearing. The outer ring of the bearing 23 rolls against the top wall of the adjustment cavity, and the inner ring of the bearing 23 is connected to the connecting shaft 231. The connecting shaft 231 is detachably connected to the gripper drive plate 3, so that when the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the pressure plate 22 to move horizontally, the bearing 23 moves vertically under the pressure of the top wall of the adjustment cavity, thereby driving the gripper drive plate 3 to move vertically.

[0029] The gripper drive plate 3 is located on the outside of the base plate 1, and both sides of the gripper drive plate 3 are connected to the outer wall of the base plate 1 via slide rails to ensure the vertical movement path of the gripper drive plate 3. Limiting cavities 13 are formed on both sides of the base plate 1 near the edge of the through wall. Holes are formed within each limiting cavity 13, and springs are installed within these holes. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hole, and the other end is fixedly connected to a limiting member 33 at the upper end. Second connecting members 32 are provided on the sides of each limiting member 33, and the second connecting members 32 abut against each other and are sleeved on the second guide rail 31. The second guide rail 31 is arranged vertically and is fixedly connected to the wall of the base plate 1. The second connecting member 32 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 31. The second connecting member 32 is detachably connected to the gripper drive plate 3. The gripper drive plate 3 has a connecting hole 34 in the middle, which matches the connecting shaft 231 so that the connecting shaft 231 is embedded in the connecting hole 34. The connecting shaft 231 is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 34. The end face of the gripper drive plate 3 near the bearing 23 abuts against the end face of the bearing 23.

[0030] The gripper mechanism 4 includes a movable gripper 41 and a fixed gripper 42. The movable gripper 41 is fixedly connected to the outside of the gripper drive plate 3. The fixed gripper 42 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the base plate 1, and the fixed gripper 42 is located below both the gripper drive plate 3 and the movable gripper 41, so as to match the movable gripper 41 to form a gripping unit. In this embodiment, the gripper mechanism 4 has multiple sets.

[0031] Multiple evenly arranged through holes are formed on the end face of the gripper drive plate 3. These through holes are used to connect multiple evenly arranged gripper mechanisms 4 via bolts. A movable gripper 41 is detachably connected to the through holes via bolts. A guide seat 411 is provided at the upper end of the movable gripper 41. An adjusting spring 412 is provided at the lower end of the guide seat 411. The adjusting spring 412 is embedded in the wall of the movable gripper 41 and is movably connected to the wall of the movable gripper 41. Movable grooves 413 are formed on both sides of the lower end of the movable gripper 41, penetrating the wall of the movable gripper 41. The middle section of the two movable grooves 413 protrudes outward. Abutment grooves 414 are formed on both sides of the protrusion of the movable gripper 41 at the lower end of the movable grooves 413. The middle section of the two abutment grooves 414 protrudes outward, forming a pressing part 415.

[0032] Multiple movable grippers 41 have multiple matching fixed grippers 42 at their lower ends. Each fixed gripper 42 has a fixing hole near the bottom plate 1 that matches the fixing hole 12. The fixed grippers 42 are detachably connected to the edge of the bottom plate 1 through the wall using bolts. The middle of each fixed gripper 42 is bent downwards, and a slot 421 is formed in the middle of the fixed gripper 42, which simultaneously penetrates the wall of the fixed gripper 42 in two directions. A support cavity 422 is formed in the middle of the slot 421 at the bent end, and the support cavity 422 matches the pressing part 415. The width of the slot 421 is greater than that of the support cavity 422, so that abutment walls are formed on both sides of the upper end of the support cavity 422. Movable grippers 41 are embedded in the slot 421, and the abutment groove 414 of the movable gripper 41 matches the abutment wall.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] In use, this utility model utilizes a telescopic cylinder in conjunction with a pressure plate and bearings to open and close the gripper mechanism. The gripper clamping amount is adjusted via a gripper limit adjustment block, while springs within the first connecting piece and guide seat help ensure the gripper mechanism effectively clamps the welding strip without it falling off. The spring's rebound force effectively controls the clamping degree. The combination of movable and fixed grippers facilitates the clamping of flat welding strips, achieving clamping through an upper and lower clamping method.
