Example

[0045] See Figures 2-3 As shown, a support rocker arm clamp includes a rocker mechanism 2, on which a support plate 3 is mounted. In practical applications, the support plate 3 can swing under the drive of the rocker mechanism 2 and can be precisely positioned at a specified location to meet specific work requirements.

[0046] Specifically, the swing mechanism 2 consists of multiple components. These include a base plate 203, with a gearbox 202 and a bearing housing 204 mounted at both ends of the base plate 203. A drive motor 201 is mounted on one side of the gearbox 202, providing power to the entire mechanism. A first fixing plate 205 is mounted on the output shaft of the gearbox 202, while a second fixing plate 206 is mounted on the output shaft of the bearing housing 204. The first fixing plate 205 and the second fixing plate 206 are securely connected to both ends of the support plate 3, forming a complete working system that enables the stable swinging and positioning of the support plate 3.

[0047] Combination Figures 4-9 As shown, a support member 4 is fixedly installed on the support plate 3. The upper end surface of the support member 4 is specially provided with a contour groove 41 for placing the bracket rocker arm 1. This contour groove 41 is to match the shape and size of the bracket rocker arm 1 so as to better fix and operate it.

[0048] Inside the contour groove 41, a positioning element 5 is provided. The upper end of the positioning element 5 has a tapered flange 51 that matches the positioning hole on the support rocker arm. This design allows for precise initial positioning of the support rocker arm 1. On the support element 4 located on one side of the contour groove 41, a positioning block 6 is provided to limit the position of the support rocker arm 1, which can prevent unnecessary displacement of the support rocker arm 1 in the horizontal direction.

[0049] On the other side of the contour groove 41, a clamping member 8 driven by a cylinder 7 is provided. When the support rocker arm 1 is placed on the contour groove, the cylinder 7 drives the clamping member 8 to press and position the support rocker arm 1 from the other side, ensuring that the horizontal position of the support rocker arm 1 remains unchanged. In addition, a lower pressing member 9 is provided above the contour groove 41. The lower pressing member 9 presses against the upper end face of the support rocker arm 1, fixing the support rocker arm 1 from above, keeping it stable during operation, and ensuring the accuracy and quality of processing or operation.

[0050] In this embodiment, there are two support members 4, which are distributed at intervals on the support plate 3. Each support member is equipped with a support arm 1. This layout helps to improve work efficiency and batch processing capacity.

[0051] It is worth noting that the two support members 4 share a single pressing member 9. The two ends of the pressing member 9 are precisely pressed onto the two support rocker arms, thus simultaneously fixing both support rocker arms. To drive the pressing member 9, a hydraulic cylinder base plate 11 is provided on the support plate 3 between the two support members 4. A hydraulic cylinder 10 is mounted on this hydraulic cylinder base plate 11, and the driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the pressing member 9. Through the driving action of the hydraulic cylinder 10, the pressing member 9 can stably press and fix the support rocker arms.

[0052] In addition, to ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic cylinder 10, an oil passage connected to the hydraulic cylinder 10 is provided inside the support plate 3. Furthermore, an oil injection hole and an oil outlet hole are formed on the support plate 3. The oil injection hole is used to inject hydraulic oil into the oil passage, while the oil outlet hole is used to discharge the hydraulic oil after use or to perform maintenance and repair work on the oil passage when necessary.

[0053] Opening slots are provided on the support plates 3 on both sides of the cylinder base plate 11. Two support members 4 span across the corresponding opening slots and are tightly locked to the support plates 3 with bolts. This connection method is not only stable, but also easy to install and disassemble, which is beneficial for subsequent maintenance and replacement of the support members 4.

[0054] After the support member 4 is installed in place, a portion of the opening slot remains uncovered. This uncovered area is carefully designed to provide sufficient space for the placement and operation of the clamping member 8.

[0055] Specifically, cylinder 7 is fixedly mounted on the back of support member 4. To enable flexible rotation and clamping action of clamping member 8, a hinge seat 12 is provided on one side of support member 4. The middle portion of clamping member 8 is hinged to hinge seat 12 via a pin, allowing it to rotate around the hinge point at a certain angle. Furthermore, the lower end of clamping member 8 is hinged to the end of piston rod of cylinder 7. When cylinder 7 operates, the extension and retraction of piston rod drives clamping member 8 to rotate around hinge seat 12, thereby achieving the clamping and releasing action of support rocker arm 1.

[0056] A limiting member 14 is detachably installed on the clamping member 8 by bolts. The limiting member 14 is provided with a channel through which the upper end of the clamping member 8 passes. The limiting members on both sides of the channel can play a certain limiting role on the support rocker arm 1 placed on the contour groove 41.

[0057] The upper end of the clamping member 8 has a protrusion 81, and the lower end face of the protrusion 81 is an arc-shaped surface 82. This arc-shaped surface 82 is ingeniously and practically designed, and its shape is adapted to the upper edge of the support rocker arm 1. When the clamping member 8 clamps the support rocker arm 1 under the drive of the cylinder 7, the arc-shaped surface 82 can fit well against the upper edge of the support rocker arm 1, increasing the contact area and making the clamping force more evenly distributed. This results in a more stable and reliable fixation of the support rocker arm 1, ensuring that the support rocker arm 1 will not shift or shake during processing or operation, thus guaranteeing the accuracy and quality of the work.

[0058] In this embodiment, in order to better realize the positioning function of the support arm 1, the support member 4 is specially provided with a slot 42 for the positioning member 5 to be placed, and the slot 42 is located in the contour groove 41.

[0059] The main body of the positioning component 5 adopts a cuboid structure design. During installation, the positioning component 5 is inserted into the slot 42. After it is in place, it will present a specific state: the tapered flange 51 on the positioning component 5 is exposed on the outside of the slot 42. This design layout has important functions and significance.

[0060] When the support rocker arm 1 is installed in the contour groove 41 and reaches the designated position, the tapered flange 51 exposed outside the slot 42 can cooperate and embed with the positioning hole on the support rocker arm. In this way, the support rocker arm 1 can be accurately and effectively positioned, preventing problems such as positional deviation and shaking during installation or subsequent operation. This provides a stable and reliable foundation for subsequent processing and operation of the support rocker arm 1, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the entire workflow, and ensuring that the processing quality and performance of the support rocker arm 1 meet the expected design requirements and standards.

[0061] In this embodiment, the support plate 3 is provided with a plurality of air blowing pipes 13. The air blowing pipes 13 are bent and inclined toward the product side, and the air blowing port of the air blowing pipe 13 is higher than the height of the product. The air blowing through the air blowing pipes 13 can help remove some heat, reduce the temperature, and reduce the impact of thermal deformation on processing accuracy.

[0062] The bracket rocker arm clamp of this invention has significant practical value and advantages. This clamp can hold two bracket rocker arms simultaneously, greatly improving work efficiency and production capacity.

[0063] In the design of the fixture, a comprehensive positioning system is constructed around the contour groove 41 on the support member 4. The clamping member 8, driven by the cylinder 7, plays a crucial role; under the power of the cylinder 7, the clamping member 8 can quickly and forcefully clamp and fix the support rocker arm 1 from one side. Simultaneously, the tapered flange 51 on the positioning member 5 matches the positioning hole of the support rocker arm 1, accurately determining the initial position of the support rocker arm. The positioning block 6 effectively limits the horizontal position of the support rocker arm 1, preventing horizontal displacement. Furthermore, the lower pressure member 9 presses against the upper end face of the support rocker arm 1, fixing it from above.

[0064] This design positions the support rocker arm from multiple angles and in all directions, providing a stable and reliable fixation guarantee during the processing of the support rocker arm. It minimizes errors and defects caused by displacement or shaking of the support rocker arm, ensuring the accuracy and quality of processing. This allows the processed support rocker arm to meet design and usage requirements and perform better in practical applications.
