Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive clamps, and more particularly to a supply device for a horizontal quick clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In the clamping state, the horizontal quick clamp's operating handle and pressure arm (or lever) are horizontal and parallel to the ground plane. It achieves clamping and releasing functions through a reverse actuation structure: pressing down the handle closes the pressure arm to clamp the workpiece, while lifting the handle releases it. Utilizing the lever principle and toggle effect, the horizontal movement of the handle is converted into vertical clamping force, providing a stable and efficient clamping effect. It is mainly used for workpiece fixing in welding processes, station clamping in mold processing and inspection, and standardized component integration in machine tools or conveying equipment. Its application is particularly widespread in experimental platforms, testing platforms, and fixture platforms for automotive parts. For example, Chinese patent CN113984414A discloses a general-purpose test platform for automobile grilles, which includes a sliding base, positioning columns, and positioning beams. The sliding base is provided with a first transverse sliding groove and two longitudinal sliding grooves. A first clamping member is slidably disposed in the first transverse sliding groove. A lower transverse positioning mechanism is provided between the first clamping member and the first transverse sliding groove. Every two positioning columns are disposed on different longitudinal sliding grooves. A bottom longitudinal positioning mechanism is provided between the positioning columns and the longitudinal sliding grooves. The positioning columns are provided with vertical sliding grooves. A positioning beam is horizontally disposed between two positioning columns. A vertical positioning mechanism is provided between the positioning beam and the vertical sliding groove.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN105387785A discloses an electric vehicle bumper energy-absorbing box inspection tool, which includes an inspection tool body and a hole position detection device disposed on the inspection tool body for inspecting the workpiece. The inspection tool body is disposed on an inspection tool mounting base, and the inspection tool mounting base is provided with handles on both sides. The hole position detection device includes a plane hole detection device and a side hole detection device. The plane hole detection device is a horizontal quick clamp, and the side hole detection device is a push-pull quick clamp and a go / no-go gauge.

[0004] During the installation of equipment like the aforementioned devices, horizontal quick-release clamps need to be frequently used. Currently, most horizontal quick-release clamps are supplied directly from the housing and require manual separation for use, which has the following drawbacks in actual use:

[0005] Firstly, the experimental platform, testing platform, and fixture platform have large installation areas, requiring frequent retrieving or moving of the quick-clamping box, which is labor-intensive.

[0006] Secondly, the number of quick-release clamps in the box storage is difficult to determine, which will restrict the retrieval efficiency when needed, thus severely restricting the assembly efficiency of the experimental platform, testing platform, and fixture platform.

[0007] Third, the installation areas of the experimental platform, testing platform, and fixture platform have a large height span, which means that workers need to bend over to varying degrees to pick up horizontal quick clamps during long-term work, which is easy to cause fatigue and is not good for their health.

[0101] Working principle and usage:

[0102] Step 1, Pre-setting:

[0103] Press the start switch to test the power supply. Adjust the spacing of the limit bars according to the dimensions of the horizontal quick clamp 601.

[0104] Step 2, material storage:

[0105] Pressing the material storage switch triggers a signal from the distance sensor module 1 to the PLC controller 1. The PLC controller 1 then outputs signals to the electric lifting device 501, electromagnet 203, servo motor 401, lead screw stepper motor 404, push rod motor 405, and electromagnet 2.

[0106] The electric lifting device 501 moves the carrier box 502 to one side of the rectangular through hole 2; the push rod motor 406 starts, and the position accuracy of the lead screw stepper motor 404 is determined by the limit rod; then, the servo motor 401 drives the lead screw stepper motor 404 to run to one side of the unloaded movable box part, the electromagnet 203 is turned off, the push rod motor 405 drives the electromagnet 2 to move to the iron plate, the electromagnet 2 starts, the lead screw stepper motor 404 starts after a delay, and moves the movable box part onto the carrier box 502.

[0107] Distance sensor module 2 outputs a signal to PLC controller 1, and PLC controller 1 outputs a signal to lead screw stepper motor 2 (503), push rod motor 3 (504), and electromagnet 3.

[0108] The push rod motor 3 (504) drives the electromagnet 3 to move upward, contacting the iron plate 1 in the circular groove 2, thus activating the electromagnet 3. The lead screw stepper motor 2 (503) then moves the movable box section to directly above the carrier box 502 after a delay. The electric lifting device 501 then moves the carrier box 502 to a suitable height (70-90cm, adjustable).

[0109] The operator places the horizontal quick clamp 601 onto the storage plate mechanism 303 in an orderly manner. The distance sensor module three outputs a signal to PLC controller one, and PLC controller one outputs a signal to the chain conveyor belt 302 through the wireless module and PLC controller two; the chain conveyor belt 302 starts in an orderly manner to facilitate the storage of the horizontal quick clamp 601.

[0110] When the chain conveyor belt 302 is fully loaded, the electric lifting device 501 drives the carrier box 502 to reset. The second lead screw stepper motor 503, the third push rod motor 504, and the third electromagnet drive the movable box part to move into the rectangular through hole 3. The first lead screw stepper motor 404, the first push rod motor 405, and the second electromagnet start, driving the movable box part to reset.

[0111] Repeat the above steps until the storage section is full.

[0112] Third step, retrieve:

[0113] Press the access switch. The subsequent steps are the same as in step two, but the difference is that the operator orderly removes the horizontal quick-release clamp 601 and detaches it from the storage board mechanism 303. The distance sensor module three outputs a signal to PLC controller one, and PLC controller one outputs a signal to the chain conveyor belt 302 through the wireless module and PLC controller two; the chain conveyor belt 302 starts orderly, facilitating the access of the horizontal quick-release clamp 601.
