Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping device technology, specifically an automatic clamping device for assembly line operation. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of modern industrial production, assembly line operation is a core means to greatly improve production efficiency and is widely used in various material handling and transfer processes. Especially when materials need to be transferred vertically, the clamping device, an advanced automated tool, is even more important. With its high precision and high efficiency, it can accurately complete a series of key operations such as gripping, lifting and placing materials.

[0003] However, traditional clamping devices typically employ multiple motors or hydraulic cylinders as driving components, requiring complex transmission mechanisms to work together to achieve vertical lifting of materials. This not only increases the complexity and manufacturing cost of the equipment, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the synchronization and coordination between multiple driving components during actual operation, which can easily lead to an increased failure rate and affect the stability and reliability of the production line. To address these issues, the inventors have proposed an automatic clamping device for assembly line operations to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the high cost of setting up multiple drive source devices when vertically transferring materials, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic clamping device for assembly line operations.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic clamping device for assembly line operation, comprising a base plate, a conveyor belt, and a collection box. The conveyor belt and the collection box are disposed at the top of the base plate. An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base plate. A movable seat is slidably engaged with the inner side of the L-shaped plate. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat away from the L-shaped plate. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixed plate. A guide groove is provided on the side of the rotating column. A fixed rod is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped plate. A guide column is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed rod. The guide column is movably engaged in the rotating column. The lines connecting the top and bottom ends of the guide groove and the central axis of the rotating column are perpendicular to each other.

[0006] Preferably, a side rod is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating column, and two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to one side of the side rod. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks. Two symmetrically distributed clamping plates are threaded to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw. A sliding rod is fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks near the side of the bidirectional lead screw. The clamping plates are slidably engaged with the outer side of the sliding rod. A servo motor is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block, and the drive end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw.

[0007] Preferably, a reciprocating lead screw is rotatably connected between the top end of the inner wall of the L-shaped plate and the bottom plate, the movable seat is threadedly connected to the outside of the reciprocating lead screw, and a stepper motor is fixedly installed at the top end of the L-shaped plate, the drive end of the stepper motor being fixedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw.

[0008] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected between the top end of the inner wall of the L-shaped plate and the bottom plate, and the fixed plate and the rotating column are movably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] While the rotating column moves vertically, the movement is guided by the cooperation between the guide column and the guide groove, causing the rotating column to rotate 90 degrees while moving vertically, thereby realizing the vertical transfer of materials. At the same time, the top of the guide groove is provided with a vertical section, so that when the rotating column rotates to the appropriate position, it can make a vertical displacement, which facilitates the gripping of materials. This avoids the problem of using multiple motors or hydraulic cylinders to achieve vertical lifting of materials, and further reduces the investment cost of equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic clamping device for assembly line operation, including a base plate 1, a conveyor belt 10, and a collection box 11. The conveyor belt 10 and the collection box 11 are disposed at the top of the base plate 1. An L-shaped plate 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base plate 1. A movable seat 3 is slidably engaged with the inner side of the L-shaped plate 2. A fixed plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable seat 3 away from the L-shaped plate 2. A rotating column 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fixed plate 4. A guide groove 6 is provided on the side of the rotating column 5. A fixed rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped plate 2. A guide column 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed rod 7. The guide column 8 is movably engaged in the rotating column 5.

[0019] A side rod 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating column 5. Two fixing blocks 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the side rod 9. A bidirectional lead screw 15 is rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks 14. Two symmetrically distributed clamping plates 16 are threaded to the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 15. A sliding rod 18 is fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks 14 near the side of the bidirectional lead screw 15. The clamping plates 16 are slidably engaged with the outer side of the sliding rod 18. A servo motor 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 14. The drive end of the servo motor 17 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 15.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor 17 drives the bidirectional lead screw 15 to rotate, and the slide rod 18 guides the movement of the clamping plate 16. At the same time, the two clamping plates 16 are moved to the side that is far away from or close to each other, so as to realize the clamping operation of the material.

[0021] A reciprocating screw 12 is rotatably connected between the top of the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 2 and the bottom plate 1. The movable seat 3 is threadedly connected to the outside of the reciprocating screw 12. A stepper motor 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 2, and the drive end of the stepper motor 13 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating screw 12.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the stepper motor 13 drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate, and at the same time drives the moving seat 3 to move vertically along the outside of the reciprocating screw 12, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the moving seat 3 and the rotating column 5.

[0023] A guide rod 19 is fixedly connected between the top of the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 2 and the bottom plate 1. The fixed plate 4 and the rotating column 5 are movably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 19.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the guide rod 19, when the rotating column 5 moves vertically, the guide rod 19 guides the movement of the rotating column 5, thereby improving the stability of the rotating column 5 when it moves vertically.

[0025] The lines connecting the top and bottom of the guide groove 6 to the central axis of the rotating column 5 are perpendicular to each other.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the line connecting the top and bottom of the guide groove 6 to be perpendicular to the central axis of the rotating column 5, the rotation angle of the rotating column 5 is limited, so that the rotating column 5 can rotate within a range of ninety degrees.

[0027] Working principle: When materials need to be vertically transferred in the assembly line operation, the stepper motor 13 drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving seat 3 to move vertically along the outside of the reciprocating screw 12. At the same time, it drives the rotating column 5 to move vertically along the outside of the guide rod 19. The movement of the rotating column 5 is guided by the cooperation between the guide column 8 and the guide groove 6, so that the rotating column 5 rotates 90 degrees while moving vertically, thereby realizing the vertical transfer of materials. At the same time, the top of the guide groove 6 is provided with a vertical section, so that when the rotating column 5 rotates to the appropriate position, the rotating column 5 can be displaced at one end in the vertical direction, which facilitates the gripping of materials.

[0028] When clamping materials, the servo motor 17 drives the bidirectional lead screw 15 to rotate, and the slide bar 18 guides the movement of the clamping plate 16. At the same time, it drives the two clamping plates 16 to move away from or towards each other, thereby realizing the clamping operation of materials.

[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
