[0002] Side control cover bridges are components designed specifically for certain mechanical equipment. They are primarily used to protect and cover critical operating components inside the equipment, such as levers, valves, or other control devices, to ensure that these components are protected from external environmental factors during operation.

[0003] The current side control cover bridge plate processing lacks a clamping mechanism for side control cover bridge plates of different sizes. The problem with this technology is that a significant issue in the current side control cover bridge plate processing field is the lack of a clamping mechanism that can effectively adapt to side control cover bridge plates of different sizes. Existing clamping equipment often can only handle products of specific specifications, which not only limits processing flexibility but also increases production costs and time. This is because whenever a side control cover bridge plate of a different size needs to be processed, the operator must change or adjust the fixture, a complex and time-consuming process. This limitation negatively impacts production line efficiency, especially when facing diverse order demands. Frequent fixture adjustments lead to increased downtime and resource waste. Furthermore, inappropriate clamping methods may cause unnecessary pressure or damage to the side control cover bridge plate, affecting product quality. To meet market demands for diversified products and improve production efficiency and quality control, a solution is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The clamping mechanism is used to fix the side manipulator cover bridge plate;

[0007] The auxiliary mechanism is used to adaptively adjust the shape of the side manipulator cover bridge plate.

[0008] To improve clamping stability, the clamping mechanism preferably includes an air pump, a telescopic rod, a connecting plate, a clamping rod, and a stroke groove. The two ends of the air pump are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the two telescopic rods. The front ends of the telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate. The two sides of the connecting plate are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the clamping rods. The stroke groove is formed in the inner wall of the support base. The air pump can directly provide a power source for the telescopic rods, ensuring efficient and stable power transmission, improving the response speed and operating accuracy of the device, and ensuring that clamping actions can be performed quickly and smoothly when needed.

[0009] To improve the adaptability of the device, preferably, the auxiliary mechanism includes a bearing seat, an adjusting screw, a fixing block, and a mating block. The inner wall of the bearing seat is rotatably connected to the surface of the adjusting screw. Both ends of the adjusting screw are threadedly connected to the inner walls of the two fixing blocks.

Using oppositely helical threads, when the adjusting screw is rotated, the two fixing blocks can guide the mating blocks to move in opposite directions, enabling quick and uniform adjustment of the distance between the two mating blocks to adapt to side manipulator cover bridges of different sizes, ensuring that their surfaces receive uniform and firm contact and fixation.

[0010] To improve the service life of the equipment, preferably, the lower end of the clamping rod is provided with rollers, and the two sides of the rollers are rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping rod through a rotating shaft.

[0011] To improve operational efficiency, preferably, the surface of the air pump is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the operating plate, the surface of the connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stroke groove, and the surface of the clamping rod is slidably connected to both sides of the operating plate. The stroke groove provides a moving path for the connecting plate, ensuring that it moves stably along a predetermined track. This helps to improve the accuracy and consistency of the clamping action and ensures that the clamping rod can accurately approach the side manipulator cover bridge plate.

[0012] To improve the reliability of the mechanism, preferably, the surface of the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the clamping rod, the inner walls of the two mating blocks are slidably connected to the surface of the clamping rod, and the lower surface of the mating blocks is slidably connected to the upper surface of the operating plate. The mating blocks can move freely on the clamping rod and adjust their position as needed. When the adjusting screw is rotated, the mating blocks can move to adapt to side manipulator cover bridge plates of different sizes and specifications.

[0013] To improve the durability of the equipment, preferably, the surface of the roller is slidably connected to the inner wall of the operating panel through a groove. The groove provides a clear and fixed movement path for the roller, ensuring precise guidance of the roller on the inner wall of the operating panel, so that the clamping rod can move smoothly and accurately along the preset trajectory.

[0014] This invention utilizes a clamping mechanism, an auxiliary mechanism, a connecting plate, a clamping rod, a bearing seat, an adjusting screw, a fixing block, and a mating block. The clamping mechanism secures the side manipulator cover bridge plate, while the auxiliary mechanism adapts to the shape of the cover bridge plate. An air pump directly provides power to the telescopic rod, ensuring efficient and stable power transmission, improving the device's response speed and operational accuracy, and ensuring rapid and smooth clamping action when needed. The use of opposite-direction threads allows the two fixing blocks to guide the mating blocks to move in opposite directions when the adjusting screw is rotated, enabling rapid and uniform adjustment of the distance between the two mating blocks to accommodate side manipulator cover bridge plates of different sizes. This ensures uniform and firm contact and fixation of the surface, solving the current problems in side manipulator...

[0020] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a clamping mechanism for processing a side control cover bridge plate, including a support base 4, a connecting base 5, an operating plate 6, and a rotary motor 7. The upper end of the support base 4 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the connecting base 5 through a sliding groove. The upper surface of the connecting base 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the operating plate 6. The inner wall of the support base 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotary motor 7. A clamping mechanism 1 is provided inside the operating plate 6, and an auxiliary mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the clamping mechanism 1. The clamping mechanism 1 is used to fix the side control cover bridge plate, and the auxiliary mechanism 2 is used to adaptively adjust the shape of the side control cover bridge plate. The clamping mechanism 1 includes an air pump 101, a telescopic rod 102, a connecting plate 103, a clamping rod 104, and a stroke groove 105. The two ends of the air pump 101 are connected to two telescopic rods 102 and 103. 2. The rear end is fixedly connected. The front end of the telescopic rod 102 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 103. The two sides of the connecting plate 103 are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of the two sides of the clamping rod 104. The stroke groove 105 is opened in the inner wall of the support base 4. The air pump 101 can directly provide a power source for the telescopic rod 102, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of power transmission, improving the response speed and operating accuracy of the device, and ensuring that the clamping action can be performed quickly and smoothly when needed. The auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a bearing seat 201, an adjusting screw 202, a fixing block 203, and a mating block 204. The inner wall of the bearing seat 201 is rotatably connected to the surface of the adjusting screw 202. The two ends of the adjusting screw 202 are threadedly connected to the inner walls of the two fixing blocks 203. The surface of the fixing block 203 is connected to the rear side of the mating block 204. The surface is fixedly connected using oppositely rotating threads. When the adjusting screw 202 is rotated, the two fixed blocks 203 can guide the mating blocks 204 to move in opposite directions, enabling quick and uniform adjustment of the distance between the two mating blocks 204 to accommodate side manipulator cover bridge plates of different sizes, ensuring uniform and firm contact and fixation of their surfaces. A roller 3 is provided at the lower end of the clamping rod 104, with both sides of the roller 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping rod 104 via a rotating shaft. The output end of the rotary motor 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting seat 5. The presence of the roller 3 allows the clamping rod 104 to slide more smoothly on the operating plate 6, reducing friction, lowering energy loss, and improving response speed and operating accuracy. It also reduces friction between the clamping rod 104 and the line. Wear between the stroke grooves 105 extends the service life of the equipment. The surface of the air pump 101 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the operating plate 6, the surface of the connecting plate 103 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stroke groove 105, and the surface of the clamping rod 104 is slidably connected to both sides of the operating plate 6. The stroke groove 105 provides a moving path for the connecting plate 103, ensuring its stable movement along a predetermined track, which helps improve the accuracy and consistency of the clamping action and ensures that the clamping rod 104 can accurately approach the side manipulator cover bridge plate. The surface of the bearing seat 201 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the clamping rod 104, the inner walls of the two mating blocks 204 are slidably connected to the surface of the clamping rod 104, and the lower surface of the mating blocks 204 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the operating plate 6. The mating blocks 204 can move freely on the clamping rod 104.The position can be adjusted as needed, allowing the mating block 204 to move when the adjusting screw 202 is rotated, to accommodate side manipulator cover bridge plates of different sizes. The surface of the roller 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the operating plate 6 via a slide groove. The slide groove provides a clear and fixed movement path for the roller 3, ensuring precise guidance of the roller 3 on the inner wall of the operating plate 6, so that the clamping rod 104 can move smoothly and accurately along the preset trajectory.

[0023] During the preparation and fixing of the side controller cover bridge plate, the side controller cover bridge plate is first placed on the surface of the operating plate 6. Then, by activating the air pump 101 built into the operating plate 6, the generated air pressure drives the telescopic rod 102 to retract. The front end of the telescopic rod 102 is fixed to the connecting plate 103. Therefore, when the telescopic rod 102 moves, it causes the connecting plate 103 to move along the stroke groove 105 within the operating plate 6. As the connecting plate 103 moves, the clamping rods 104 on both sides of the operating plate 6 synchronously move towards the center and gradually approach the side controller cover bridge plate. When the clamping rods 104 are about to contact the surface of the side controller cover bridge plate, to further ensure a stable fixing effect, the adjusting screw 202 behind the clamping rods 104 can be rotated for adjustment. It is worth noting that... The threads on the adjusting screw 202 are designed to rotate in opposite directions. This means that when the adjusting screw 202 is rotated, the fixing block 203 on it can guide the mating block 204 to move in opposite directions on the clamping rod 104, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the two mating blocks 204 to accommodate side manipulator cover bridge plates of different sizes and specifications, and ensuring that their surfaces are uniformly and firmly contacted and fixed. Once the side manipulator cover bridge plate is successfully fixed, the next operation is to optionally start the rotary motor 7 located at the bottom of the operating plate 6. This will allow the operating plate 6 to rotate freely according to the angle required for processing, providing the necessary position adjustment for the subsequent precise processing of the side manipulator cover bridge plate. When it is necessary to remove the side manipulator cover bridge plate, simply extend the telescopic rod 102 with the air pump 101 to loosen the side manipulator cover bridge plate and then remove it.
