[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Figures 1 to 4 A structural schematic view of the compact clamping mechanism of the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0020] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 4 The compact clamping mechanism comprises a base 1, a slider structure 2 arranged on the base 1 and moving in the up-down direction, and two mutually symmetrical connecting rod structures 3 arranged on the left and right sides of the base 1. One pressing block 4 is horizontally arranged on each of the two connecting rod structures. The two pressing blocks 4 are mutually symmetrical. The connecting rod structures 3 are rotationally connected with the slider structure 2 and the base 1 respectively. The pressing blocks 4 are rotationally connected with the corresponding connecting rod structures 3. The connecting rod structures 3 act under the driving of the slider structure 2. The pressing blocks 4 move horizontally in the left-right direction under the driving of the connecting rod structures 3. When the clamping mechanism is in a closed or open state, the pressing blocks 4 remain in a horizontal state (parallel to the setting plane).

[0021] The rotationally connected structure can be realized by a rotating shaft. For example, the connecting rod structures 3 are rotationally connected with the slider structure 2 by at least one rotating shaft. The slider structure 2 comprises a first slider 21 and a second slider 22. The connecting rod structure 3 comprises a first connecting rod 31, a second connecting rod 32 and a third connecting rod 33.

[0022] Specifically, in the Figure 1 , Figure 2 open state, when it is needed to clamp a product, the sliding structure 2 is driven to move vertically upward, driving the two connecting rod structures 3 to rotate, and in turn driving the respective pressing blocks 4 to move. The left pressing block 4 moves horizontally to the right, and the right pressing block 4 moves horizontally to the left, until the pressing blocks 4 are parallel to the product, thereby completing the double clamping of the product. During this process, the pressing blocks 4 remain in a horizontal state. At this time, the mechanism is in a Figure 3 , Figure 4 closed state as shown in the drawings, and the pressing blocks 4 are in a horizontal state and are pressed on the product.

[0023] In Figure 3 , Figure 4 closed state, when it is needed to separate from the product, the sliding structure 2 is driven to move vertically downward, which drives the two linkage structures 3 to rotate, and then drives the respective pressing blocks 4 to move: the left pressing block 4 moves horizontally to the left, and the right pressing block 4 moves horizontally to the right, until the pressing blocks 4 separate from the product, and the separation from the product is completed, in which process the pressing blocks 4 remain in the horizontal state, and at this time the mechanism is in Figure 1 , Figure 2 open state shown in the figure, the pressing blocks 4 are in the horizontal state and separate from the product.

[0024] In the process of clamping and separation, the moving direction of the sliding structure 2 is opposite, the rotating direction of the same linkage structure 3 is opposite, and the moving direction of the same pressing block 4 is opposite. In the process of clamping or separation, the linkage structures 3 on the left and right sides rotate symmetrically, and simultaneously drive the pressing blocks 4 on the left and right sides to move symmetrically.

[0025] The utility model discloses a compact clamping mechanism which realizes clamping or separation of the product through the cooperation of the sliding structure, the linkage structure and the pressing block. When opening and closing, the pressing block always moves horizontally and is always in the horizontal state, without the need of lifting, which can save the space in the height direction of the pressing block on the basis of ensuring the pressing of the product, and avoid the problem of machine collision accidents caused by the interference of the pressing block.

[0026] Therefore, the compact clamping mechanism of the utility model embodiment has a compact structure, and the pressing block is driven to move through the sliding block structure and the linkage structure, and in the open and closed states, the pressing block always remains in the horizontal state, which not only saves the space in the height direction and avoids machine collision accidents, but also avoids the situation that the product cannot be pressed tightly.

[0027] In one example, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the sliding block structure 2 includes a first sliding block 21 horizontally arranged on the base 1 and moving in the up-down direction, and the two ends of the first sliding block 21 are provided with second sliding blocks 22 which are symmetrical to each other, one end of the second sliding block 22 is fixedly connected with the first sliding block 21, and the other end of the second sliding block 22 is rotationally connected with the linkage structure 3.

[0028] The linkage structure 3 includes a first linkage 31, a second linkage 32 and a third linkage 33.

[0029] One end of the first linkage 31 is rotationally connected with the other end of the second sliding block 22, the other end of the first linkage 31 is rotationally connected with the first end of the second linkage 32, the second end of the second linkage 32 is rotationally connected with the base 1, the third end of the second linkage 32 is rotationally connected with the first end of the pressing block 4, one end of the third linkage 33 is rotationally connected with the base 1, the other end of the third linkage 33 is rotationally connected with the second end of the pressing block 4, and the part of the second linkage 32 connecting the base and the pressing block is parallel to the third linkage 33.

[0031] When the clamping mechanism is in the closed or open state, the part of the second connecting rod 32 connecting the base 1 and the pressing block 4 is parallel to the third connecting rod 33.

[0032] When the clamping mechanism is in the closed or open state, the part of the second connecting rod 32 connecting the base 1 and the pressing block 4 is parallel to the third connecting rod 33. Figure 2 Figure 4 When the clamping mechanism is viewed from the front, the pressing block 4 is parallel to the setting plane, the part of the second connecting rod 32 connecting the base 1 is parallel to the third connecting rod 33, the first rotation axis c and the third rotation axis d are parallel to each other and have the same height from the ground, and the second rotation axis b and the fourth rotation axis a are parallel to each other and have the same height from the ground. That is, when the clamping mechanism is viewed from the front, the first to fourth rotation axes are four corners of a parallelogram, and the pressing block 4, the part of the second connecting rod 32 connecting the base 1, the third connecting rod 33 and the corresponding part of the base form the parallelogram.

[0034] Specifically, the working process is as follows: in the open state of Figure 1 , Figure 2 , when the power source (pneumatic cylinder 5) is lifted upward, the first sliding block 21 will lift the second sliding block 22 upward, the first connecting rod 31 will rotate and drive the second connecting rod 32 to rotate around the first rotation axis c, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 will rotate and drive the pressing block 4 to be parallelly pressed on the product, thereby completing the action of clamping the product, and the clamping state or closed state is shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 ; in the state of Figure 3 , Figure 4 , when the power source (pneumatic cylinder 5) is pulled downward, the first sliding block 21 will lower the second sliding block 22 downward, the first connecting rod 31 will rotate and drive the second connecting rod 32 to rotate reversely around the first rotation axis c, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 will rotate and drive the pressing block 6 to be parallelly retracted behind the third connecting rod 33, thereby completing the action of separating from the product, and the separation state or open state is shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 .​
