[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 The Y-shaped wire tube clamping mechanism provided by the utility model comprises a first clamping plate 1, a second clamping plate 2 and a reset connecting piece 3.

[0038] The first clamping plate 1 is formed with a first connecting part on the side close to the second clamping plate 2, and the end of the first clamping plate 1 provided with the first connecting part is also provided with a mounting hole 101, and the mounting hole 101 is used for connecting a transmission device.

[0039] The second clamping plate 2 is formed with a second connecting part on the side close to the first clamping plate 1, and the second clamping plate 2 is provided with a clamping plate 201 on the side of the second connecting part away from the mounting hole 101, and a Y-shaped wire tube clamping space is formed between the clamping plate 201 and the first clamping plate 1, and the other end is provided with a control assembly 4 for controlling the opening and closing of the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2.

[0040] The first clamping plate 1 is connected to the reset connecting piece 3 through the first connecting part, the second clamping plate 2 is connected to the reset connecting piece 3 through the second connecting part, and the reset connecting piece 3 can drive the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 to return to the initial state.

[0041] The Y-shaped conduit clamping mechanism provided by this utility model, by setting a first clamping plate 1, a second clamping plate 2, a reset connector 3 and a control component 4, and the design of the mounting hole 101 at one end of the first clamping plate 1, enables the Y-shaped conduit clamping mechanism to move accurately following the movement of the transmission device. This not only simplifies the installation process of the entire mechanism and reduces the installation difficulty, but also ensures stable and efficient transmission and processing of Y-shaped conduits on the production line. The clamping plate 201 of the second clamping plate 2 cooperates with the first clamping plate 1 to form a Y-shaped cable clamping space, which can accurately clamp the Y-shaped cable and improve clamping efficiency. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are connected by the reset connector 3. The reset connector 3 can provide a force to reduce the opening angle of the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2, and can drive the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 to return to the initial state, so that the clamping mechanism has a certain elasticity and adaptability. When the Y-shaped cable is located between the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2, the opening angle between the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 is maintained by the reset connector 3 to achieve clamping of the Y-shaped cable by the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2. Moreover, the opening angle between the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 can be flexibly changed according to the size of the cable, which enhances versatility. By setting a control component 4 at one end of the second clamping plate 2, the opening and closing of the clamping mechanism can be automatically controlled, simplifying the operation process, reducing manual intervention, realizing the automated operation of the clamping mechanism, and avoiding reliance on the experience and strength of the operator, thus improving the stability and flexibility of clamping.

[0042] It is worth noting that the above initial state refers to the state when the clamping mechanism is not clamping an object, and the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 are normally closed. At this time, the opening angle between the end of the first clamping plate 1 with the clamping plate and the second clamping plate 2 is the smallest, and the distance between the end of the first clamping plate 1 with the mounting hole and the end of the second clamping plate 2 with the control component 4 is the largest.

[0043] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 201 is bent into a V-shape. The clamping plate 201 and the Y-shaped tube form two non-collinear line contacts, and together with the first clamping plate 1 and the Y-shaped tube, the Y-shaped tube is confined in the Y-shaped tube clamping space through three line contacts, ensuring good clamping stability and preventing the Y-shaped tube from easily falling off in the clamped state. The three line contacts reduce the clamping requirements and difficulty of the Y-shaped tube, and can also distribute pressure, reduce the compression on the Y-shaped tube, and prevent the Y-shaped tube from deforming. In other embodiments, the clamping plate 201 can also be any shape that can form a Y-shaped tube clamping space with the first clamping plate 1.

[0044] To improve automation, the control component 4 includes an abutment wheel 401 and a magnet 402. The abutment wheel 401 is located on the side closer to the first clamping plate 1, and the magnet 402 is located on the side farther from the first clamping plate 1. When the control component 4 enters the loading and unloading area via the transmission device, it automatically controls the opening and closing of the second clamping plate 2. Specifically, the abutment wheel 401 in the control component 4 does not contact the external abutment plate, and the clamping mechanism maintains its initial state under the action of the reset connector 3. The loading area is provided with a Y-shaped conduit bracket, and an abutment plate is provided on one side of the bracket. When the abutment wheel 401 enters the loading area with the transmission device, since the distance between the abutment plate and the end of the first clamping plate 1 with the mounting hole is less than the initial state of the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2, the abutment wheel 401 will push the end of the second clamping plate 2 with the abutment wheel towards the first clamping plate 1, thereby controlling the second clamping plate 2 to open, and causing the second clamping plate 2 to open to an angle greater than the width of the Y-shaped conduit bracket. When the clamping mechanism leaves the sensing loading area, the reset connector 3, due to its own elasticity, begins to return to its initial state. The first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 close until they clamp the Y-shaped tube column. Through the coordinated action of the magnet 402 and the external sensing device, when the transmission device drives the clamping mechanism into the unloading area, if the clamping mechanism clamps the Y-shaped tube, the distance between the magnet 402 and the external sensing device is less than the distance when it is not clamped. The external sensing device controls the unloading device to unload the Y-shaped tube clamped by the clamping mechanism. The abutment wheel 401 is used. When the abutment wheel 401 abuts against the external abutment plate and moves, the abutment wheel 401 will roll. This not only reduces the friction between the abutment wheel and the first clamping plate 1 and reduces energy loss, but also enables a quick transition and response to the instructions issued by the transmission device, improving work efficiency and thus improving the overall work efficiency of the system.

[0045] In this embodiment, the end of the second clamping plate 2 where the control component 4 is located is bent away from the first clamping plate 1 to form a control plate. The control component 4 is connected to the control plate. The angle between the control plate and the second clamping plate 2 is 80°~100°, so as to ensure that the distance between the control component 4 and the frame will change significantly when the second clamping plate 2 rotates. This facilitates the abutment wheel to better drive the second clamping plate 2 to rotate after touching the external abutment plate, and also improves the sensitivity of the sensing device and the control component 4 to the magnetic field change caused by the distance change, thereby improving the sensing accuracy. In other embodiments, the control plate at the end of the second clamping plate 2 where the control component 4 is located, which is used to connect the control component 4, can also be coplanar or parallel to the second clamping plate 2.

[0046] To simplify the structure, the two sides of the first clamping plate 1 are bent towards the second clamping plate 2 to form a first connecting portion, and a first rotating hole is provided on the first connecting portion; the two sides of the second clamping plate 2 are bent towards the first clamping plate 1 to form a second connecting portion, and a second rotating hole is provided on the second connecting portion. The reset connecting member 3 includes a torsion spring 301 and a guide shaft 302. The torsion spring 301 is sleeved on the guide shaft 302, and the guide shaft 302 passes through the first rotating hole and the second rotating hole. Both ends of the guide shaft 302 are provided with limiting blocks, and at least one of the limiting blocks is connected to a fastener; the torsion spring 301, the first connecting portion, and the second connecting portion are all located between the two limiting blocks. In the initial state, the torsion spring 301 is sleeved on the guide shaft 302 and is in a certain pre-tightened state. The first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 are connected to the guide shaft 302 through the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and the two maintain a certain opening angle. When it is necessary to clamp an item, the end of the first clamping plate 1 with the mounting hole and the end of the second clamping plate 2 with the control component 4 move towards the middle. At this time, the torsion spring 301 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the clamping plate contacts the Y-shaped tube and reaches the required clamping force, the elastic force of the torsion spring 301 realizes automatic reset and stable clamping. The limiting blocks and fasteners set at both ends of the guide shaft 302 ensure the stability and reliability of the structure and prevent the torsion spring 301 from falling off or the guide shaft 302 from loosening. The above design makes it easier for the reset connector 3 to connect with the two clamping plates, while increasing the strength and rigidity of the clamping plates and making them less prone to deformation.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fastener is a pin, bolt, or screw.

[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting block at one end of the guide shaft 302 is fixed, while the limiting block at the other end is detachable. In other embodiments, both limiting blocks at both ends of the guide shaft 302 are detachable. Specific fixing methods include integral molding, welding, or bonding; detachable methods include detachable connection via fasteners, threaded connection, or snap ring connection. While ensuring good fixing performance, the detachable function of the limiting blocks is achieved. If damage or decreased elasticity occurs, only one limiting block needs to be removed to remove the damaged torsion spring 301 and replace it with a new spring. This eliminates the need for large-scale disassembly and repair of the entire clamping mechanism, reducing maintenance costs and time, and simplifying the replacement process.

[0049] like Figure 5To optimize the performance of the reset connector, the torsion spring 301 includes two helical portions sleeved on the guide shaft, with opposite rotation directions. Each helical portion has a torsion arm at both ends. The ends of the two torsion arms located between the two helical portions are connected and abut against the first clamping plate 1. The two torsion arms located outside the two helical portions abut against the second clamping plate 2. The two helical portions of the torsion spring 301 are coaxially connected in parallel, achieving a continuous stress transition through the connection of the two middle ends, ensuring a uniform distribution of clamping force. The abutment against the first clamping plate 1 increases the load-bearing capacity, allowing the reset connector 3 to provide stable elastic force while reducing stress concentration and extending its service life. The two ends of the torsion spring 301 are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical layout to abut against the second clamping plate 2, forming a bidirectional elastic constraint system that effectively balances the lateral load during clamping. The opposite rotation directions of the two helical portions help balance the torque, making the clamping action smoother.

[0050] To improve the applicability of the clamping structure, a through hole is provided between the clamping plate 201 and the reset connector 3. The through hole is threadedly connected to the screw. By rotating the screw, the length of the screw extending into the clamping space of the Y-shaped tube is adjusted, thereby controlling the minimum opening angle between the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2. Through the cooperation of the through hole and the screw, the minimum tension of the second clamping plate 2 can be easily adjusted to control the minimum opening angle between the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2, thus achieving flexible clamping of Y-shaped tubes of different sizes. The operation is simple, improving the applicability of the clamping mechanism.

[0051] Furthermore, in another embodiment, a buffer can be connected to the end of the screw near the first clamping plate 1. The buffer buffer can cushion the impact between the first clamping plate 1 and the screw, avoid hard collisions, prevent the first clamping plate 1 and the screw from being damaged by impact during use, and extend their service life.

[0052] The clamping plate 201 is connected to the second clamping plate by a fixing component, which facilitates replacement when worn or damaged, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the durability of the clamping mechanism. In addition, the clamping plate 201 can be replaced to meet the clamping of different shaped conduits. For example, the clamping plate 201 can be replaced with a straight plate structure to form an "A" shaped clamping cavity during clamping, which has high applicability.

[0053] For lightweight design, both the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 are provided with at least one weight-reducing hole. This effectively reduces the weight of the clamping mechanism, making the entire mechanism lighter, improving the dynamic response efficiency of the transmission device, and making it easier to operate and install.

[0054] Working principle: The Y-shaped cable clamping mechanism provided by this utility model has a clamping plate at one end of the second clamping plate, which cooperates with the straight plate of the first clamping plate to form a Y-shaped cable clamping space. The reset connector connects the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. The clamping mechanism is automatically controlled to open and close by the positional relationship between the external abutment plate and the abutment wheel in the control component. The Y-shaped conduit is placed on the bracket by an automatic feeding device. The Y-shaped conduit clamping mechanism moves to the bottom of the bracket along with the transmission device. Since the distance between the abutment plate on the outer side of the bracket and the end of the first clamping plate with the mounting hole is less than the initial state of the first and second clamping plates, the abutment wheel pushes the end of the second clamping plate with the abutment wheel towards the first clamping plate, so that the second clamping plate opens to an angle greater than the width of the Y-shaped conduit bracket. At this time, the reset connector is in a certain elastic deformation state, and a certain distance is maintained between the first and second clamping plates. This distance can accommodate the Y-shaped conduit. As the clamping mechanism moves with the transmission device, it abuts the head of the Y-shaped conduit away from the bracket. When the clamping mechanism leaves the feeding area, the reset connector begins to recover to the initial state due to its own elasticity. The first and second clamping plates close until the Y-shaped conduit column is clamped, thus realizing the automated operation of the clamping mechanism.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
