[0026] Please see Figure 1-9This utility model provides an embodiment of a clamp, including a frame 1 and a push rod 6 installed in the frame 1. A pusher 2 is also provided on one side of the frame 1, and the pusher 2 causes the push rod 6 to slide within the frame 1. By sliding the push rod 6 within the frame 1, the chuck 3 installed at the end of the push rod 6 is driven to complete a closing or opening action on the other side of the frame 1, so as to clamp or release the bolt. The push rod 6 is slidably connected to a top rod 7. When one end of the top rod 7 extends into the chuck 3, the bolt head entering the chuck 3 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the chuck 3.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, because the chuck 3 can be unfolded, it facilitates the entry of the bolt head into the interior of the chuck 3. Simultaneously, as the push rod 6 continues to move, the unfolded size of the chuck 3 can gradually increase, allowing the device to clamp bolts of various sizes. When one end of the push rod 6 moves within the frame 1, it causes the chuck 3 to tighten, thus clamping the bolt head. Simultaneously, the push rod 7 can be used to press against the bolt head. The cooperation between the push rod 7 and the chuck 3 further enhances the stability of the bolt within the chuck 3, ensuring a stable and reliable bolt position during processing, thereby improving the bolt's processing accuracy and quality. The bolt head is a crucial component of the bolt, typically referring to the structural part at the top of the bolt used to apply torque to tighten or loosen it.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, it also includes an adjusting rod 8, which is connected to the pushing rod 6 via a first connecting member 4. The first connecting member 4 causes the adjusting rod 8 to push the other side of the top rod 7 into the clamp 3. Based on this, the first connecting member 4 can be used to move the adjusting rod 8 from outside the pushing rod 6, which makes it easier to adjust the position of the top rod 7 in the clamp 3 via the adjusting rod 8.

[0029] Furthermore, a first spring 10 is provided between the opposing surfaces of the top rod 7 and the adjusting rod 8. Therefore, the setting of the first spring 10 can realize the flexible connection between the adjusting rod 8 and the top rod 7. The compression of the first spring 10 facilitates the smooth insertion of the bolt, and the first spring 10 provides a sustained pre-tightening of the bolt during the reset process.

[0030] Specifically, the first connector 4 includes a first nut 14, which is connected to a first external threaded post 19 on the push rod 6. The end of the adjusting rod 8 away from the top rod 7 is provided with a second external threaded post 12, and the second external threaded post 12 passes through the first nut 14 and is connected to a second nut 15. The second nut 15 rotates outside the first nut 14 to cause the adjusting rod 8 to move.

[0031] When the first nut 14 is tightened onto the first external thread post 19, it provides a stable support position for the second nut 15, so that the second nut 15 can rotate on the second external thread post 12. For example, rotating the second nut 15 clockwise causes the adjusting rod 8 to move towards the chuck, compressing the first spring 10 to increase the tightening force of the push rod 7 on the bolt inside the chuck 3. Rotating the second nut 15 counterclockwise causes the first spring 10 to gradually relax, thereby reducing the tightening force of the push rod 7 on the bolt inside the chuck 3.

[0032] To further improve the stability of the first nut 14 on the push rod 6, the first connecting member 4 also includes a first locking ring 13, which is connected to the first external threaded post 19 to prevent the first nut 14 from moving towards the chuck 3. Therefore, the first locking ring 13 and the first nut 14 can be tightened together to ensure that the first nut 14 is stably positioned on the push rod 6. Specifically, the first nut 14 rotates clockwise and the first locking ring 13 rotates counterclockwise until the two parts are tightly pressed together and neither of them continues to rotate, thus achieving the tightness of the first nut 14 and the first locking ring 13.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the first external threaded post 19 is also provided with a second connecting member 5, and the linkage between the push rod 6 and the push member 2 is realized through the second connecting member 5; the second connecting member 5 includes a support ring 16 and a rotating ring 17 that is threadedly engaged with the support ring 16, and is threadedly engaged with the first external threaded post 19 through a second locking ring 18, so as to fix the support ring 16 and the rotating ring 17 on the push rod 6.

[0034] In summary, the second connecting piece 5 allows the push rod 6 to drive the chuck 3 to slide outward. Specifically, rotating the ring 17 counterclockwise increases the distance between the rotating ring 17 and the supporting ring 16, shortening the distance the chuck 3 moves outward and reducing the opening distance, thus allowing the device to accommodate bolts with smaller diameters. Rotating the rotating ring 17 clockwise decreases the distance between the rotating ring 17 and the supporting ring 16, increasing the distance the push rod 6 pushes the chuck 3 outward, allowing the chuck 3 to open at a larger angle, enabling the device to clamp bolts with larger diameters. Furthermore, regardless of whether the distance between the supporting ring 16 and the rotating ring 17 increases or decreases, after the increase or decrease, the second locking ring 18 connects to the first external threaded post 19, ensuring that the supporting ring 16 is tightly attached to the working end of the pusher 2, guaranteeing that the push rod 6 can reliably follow the pusher 2 in linkage. The pusher 2 is preferably a hydraulic cylinder.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, a second spring 11 is also installed on the outside of the push rod 6. The second spring 11 assists the pusher 2 in pushing the push rod 6 to move the chuck 3 to the outside of the frame 1. Therefore, when the pusher 2 moves the chuck 3 into the frame 1, the second spring 11 is compressed. When the pusher 2 moves the chuck 3 outward, or when the pushing force of the pusher 2 disappears, the second spring 11 can cause the push rod 6 to move the chuck 3 outward. Based on this, the pusher 2 can be assisted in opening the chuck 3, or the chuck 3 can be directly opened automatically, reducing the power consumption of the pusher 2.

[0036] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 The number of clamps 3 is multiple, and the ends of the multiple clamps 3 facing the push rod 6 are held tightly to the push rod 6 by a ring spring 9.

[0037] Specifically, the chuck 3 includes a support portion 30, which has a clamping portion 34 for clamping bolts. The other end of the support portion 30 is fastened to the outside of the shaft pin portion 20 on the push rod 6 through an annular groove 31. The annular spring 9 tightens the annular groove 31 to rotate along the outer wall of the shaft pin portion 20, thereby causing the chuck 3 to open.

[0038] In addition, the outer wall surface of the support part 30 is provided with a mounting groove 32, and the annular spring 9 is fixed on the clamp 3 through the mounting groove 32.

[0039] Based on this, when the chuck 3 moves outward, it loses the restraint of the frame 1, and the annular spring 9 contracts towards its center, causing the chuck 3 to rotate counterclockwise along the shaft pin 20, thus enabling each chuck 3 to open. Conversely, when the chuck 3 moves inward into the frame 1, it is restrained by the frame 1, and the chuck 3 rotates clockwise along the shaft pin 20, achieving the closure of the outer end faces of each chuck 3. In addition, the inner wall surface at the lower end of the support 30 is provided with an inclined surface 33, and the part of the push rod 6 corresponding to the inclined surface 33 is also provided with an inclined surface 33, thus providing sufficient space for movement between the push rod 6 and the facing surfaces of the chuck 3, so that the chuck 3 can open smoothly.

[0040] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
