[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a clamping device for measuring the three-dimensional dimensions of a crane hook, including a jaw structure 1 and a fixed base 2 that supports the jaw structure.

[0029] The gripper structure 1 includes a rear seat 11, a support frame 12, a motor 13, a lead screw 14, a slider 15, two first connecting rods 16, and a second connecting rod 17;

[0030] Two slide rails 111 are symmetrically arranged on the rear seat 11. Two guide blocks 211 are provided at both ends of the support frame 12, and the two guide blocks 211 are slidably connected to the two slide rails 111 respectively. The motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 12, and the output end of the motor is connected to the lead screw drive. The support frame 12 is provided with a slide groove 121, and the slider 15 is slidably connected to the slide groove 121. The slider 15 is provided with a threaded hole that is threadedly connected to the lead screw 14. One end of the two first connecting rods 16 is respectively hinged to the slider 15. The other end of the two first connecting rods 16 is respectively connected to one end of the second connecting rod 17. The two second connecting rods 17 are symmetrically arranged on the support frame 12, and the middle part of the two second connecting rods 17 is hinged to the support frame 12. The other end of the two second connecting rods 17 is respectively provided with a clamping part 18. The rear seat 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 2.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, a rotating groove 171 is provided on the second connecting rod 17, and the middle part of the clamping part is hinged in the rotating groove; a fixing pin 172 is provided at the rear end of the clamping part and on the outer side of the second connecting rod, and the two ends of the first spring 173 are respectively hinged to the fixing pin 173 at the rear end of the clamping part and on the outer side of the second connecting rod.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting pin 174 is provided on the inner side of the second connecting rod 17, and the limiting pin is used to limit the clamping part in the rotating groove.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, a rubber pad 175 is provided on the inner side of one end of the clamping part; the rubber pad can play an anti-slip role when the clamping part fixes the hook, and can also play a certain buffering role.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, one end of the second connecting rod is generally Y-shaped plate structure, and the clamping part 18 is generally √-shaped plate structure.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, second pins 110 are respectively provided on both sides of the rear seat 11, and second pins 110 are respectively provided on both sides of the support frame 12. Two second springs 19 are respectively provided on both sides of the support frame 12, and the two ends of the second springs 19 are respectively connected to the second pins 110 of the support frame 12 and the rear seat 11. The second springs 19 play a longitudinal buffering role.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cross-shaped base 22 is made of aluminum profile and is used to fix it to the ground.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the middle part of the clamping part is hinged in the rotating groove by a pin.

[0039] In use, the clamping device is moved to the side of the hook to be tested, so that the hook is positioned between the two clamping parts 18. The rotation of the motor 13 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate, which in turn causes the slider 15 to move closer to or away from the motor. Please refer to [link to previous text]. Figure 4 When slider 15 moves to the end away from motor 13 (e.g.) Figure 4 As shown in a), the two clamping parts 18 are not clamped; when the slider 15 approaches one end of the motor 13, the two clamping parts 18 slowly clamp. Figure 4 Figure b shows the state of the two clamping parts 18 when the clamping is at its tightest. The hook 3 is clamped by the two clamping parts 18.

[0040] Secondly, the clamping part 18 is a connecting rod, which is connected to the second connecting rod 17 via a first spring 173. The second connecting rod 17 is hinged to the clamping part 18, forming a large connecting rod together. The first spring 173 provides a lateral buffer margin for the clamping part 18 when fixing the hook, protecting the clamping device and the hook 3. To a certain extent, it can also provide a constant clamping force to the hook 3. After the hook 3 is clamped, a three-dimensional inspection device can be used to perform corresponding inspections on the hook.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional detection device includes a three-dimensional scanner and a robotic arm; the three-dimensional scanner is installed at the end of the robotic arm, and the robotic arm is used to drive the three-dimensional scanner to scan and measure the hook.

[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
