[0002] With the rapid development of modern industry, manufacturing has become increasingly important in the national economy. The production scale of various products is constantly expanding, and production efficiency and product quality have become key factors in enterprise competition. As an important component of many products, such as electronic equipment, automotive parts, and machinery manufacturing, the quality and precision of housings directly affect the overall performance and reliability of the products. Therefore, quality inspection of housings is an indispensable part of the production process.

[0003] In the current process of inspecting housings, in order to ensure that the housings can be transferred quickly and stably, they are usually placed on a special tray. In order to facilitate the transfer of the housings by the robotic arm during the inspection process, two sets of hydraulic cylinders are usually used to drive the grippers to fix the tray, so that the tray can remain stable when the robotic arm transfers the housings and effectively prevent the tray from shaking.

[0004] However, in order to ensure that the gripper remains stable during the gripping of the pallet, the position of the gripper is usually fixed. This may result in the gripper's specifications not matching the pallet when it is necessary to grip and fix pallets of different sizes. This may cause the pallet to wobble and shift, making it impossible for the robot to accurately grasp the shell on the pallet, thus affecting the efficiency of subsequent inspection. Utility Model Content

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this application provides a tray clamp for testing housings, including: a device body 1, a mounting bracket 2 on the device body 1, a connecting plate 3 on the mounting bracket 2, a connecting rod 6 on the connecting plate 3, a gripper 5 on the connecting rod 6, and a tray body 4 on the device body 1. It also includes: an adjustment assembly on the connecting plate 3, the adjustment assembly including a limiting plate 19 on the connecting plate 3, a fixing post 15 on the limiting plate 19, a telescopic rod 7 on the connecting plate 3, a limiting groove 13 on the telescopic rod 7, and a fixing hole 14 on the limiting groove 13. The adjustment assembly is used for adjusting the position of the gripper 5.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the adjustment assembly also includes a rotating shaft 22 rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 3. A square rod 21 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 22. A second torsion spring 23 is mounted between the square rod 21 and the connecting plate 3. The second torsion spring 23 is mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 22. Through the elastic force of the second torsion spring 23, the limiting plate 19 can be driven into the corresponding limiting groove 13, thereby achieving the pre-positioning of the telescopic rod 7.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a storage slot 20 is provided on the connecting plate 3 corresponding to the square rod 21. The storage slot 20 matches the square rod 21, and the storage slot 20 can store the square rod 21.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting plate 19 matches the limiting groove 13. A connecting hole 18 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 19 away from the connecting plate 3. The fixing post 15 is movably disposed in the connecting hole 18 and passes through the limiting plate 19. A pull plate 16 is fixedly disposed on one side of the fixing post 15. A spring 17 is disposed between the pull plate 16 and the connecting hole 18. Through the elastic force of the spring 17, the fixing post 15 can be driven to be firmly inserted into the fixing hole 14.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixed column 15 matches the fixed hole 14, one side of the telescopic rod 7 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 3, and one side of the telescopic rod 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6. Multiple sets of limiting grooves 13 are evenly arranged on the telescopic rod 7. Through the multiple sets of limiting grooves 13, the position of the telescopic rod 7 can be adjusted in multiple stages.

[0031] The gripper 5 is equipped with a replacement component, which includes a first torsion spring 8 on the gripper 5 and a clamping plate 9 on the first torsion spring 8. The replacement component is used to replace the gripper 5.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the replacement component also includes a T-shaped block 11 disposed on the gripper 5, and a T-shaped groove 12 disposed on the connecting rod 6 corresponding to the T-shaped block 11. The T-shaped block 11 and the T-shaped groove 12 are matched. Through the cooperation of the T-shaped block 11 and the T-shaped groove 12, the gripper 5 can be positioned.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a rotating column 10 is rotatably connected to the gripper 5. One side of the rotating column 10 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 9. A first torsion spring 8 is disposed between the gripper 5 and the clamping plate 9. Through the elastic force of the first torsion spring 8, the clamping plate 9 can be driven to fix the gripper 5.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the clamping plate 9 contacts the connecting rod 6. Through the cooperation between the clamping plate 9 and the connecting rod 6, the clamping claw 5 can be fixed.

[0035] In this embodiment: by pulling the pull plate 16 upward, the fixing post 15 can slide out of the fixing hole 14. Then, by pulling the limiting plate 19 out of the limiting groove 13, the locking of the telescopic rod 7 can be released. The operator can control the telescopic rod 7 to move to a certain position according to the specifications of the pallet body 4, so that the gripper 5 can clamp the pallet body 4 of the corresponding specifications. When the gripper 5 is worn and needs to be replaced, the operator can rotate the clamping plate 9 to disengage it from the connecting rod 6, and then control the T-block 11 to slide out of the T-groove 12, so as to disassemble the gripper 5 and facilitate the operator to quickly replace the gripper 5.

[0036] Specifically, the solution is as follows: When the position of the gripper 5 needs to be adjusted, the operator pulls the pull plate 16 upwards, which causes the fixing post 15 to disengage from the fixing hole 14. Then, by pulling the limiting plate 19, it disengages from the limiting groove 13. The operator can then easily change the position of the gripper 5 by pulling the telescopic rod 7 to extend and retract it. This allows for stable clamping of pallet bodies 4 of different sizes. After adjustment, the operator releases the limiting plate 19. The elastic force of the second torsion spring 23 causes the limiting plate 19 to engage with the limiting groove 13, thus pre-positioning the telescopic rod 7. Then, through the elastic force of the spring 17, the fixing post 15 can be driven into the fixing hole 14 to fix the telescopic rod 7. When the clamp 5 needs to be replaced, the operator controls the clamp plate 9 to rotate, so that the clamp plate 9 is disengaged from the connecting rod 6. Then, by pulling the clamp 5, the T-shaped block 11 is disengaged from the T-shaped groove 12, so as to facilitate the replacement of the clamp 5. When replacing the new clamp 5, the T-shaped block 11 is controlled to be driven into the T-shaped groove 12 to achieve the pre-positioning of the clamp 5. Through the elastic force of the first torsion spring 8, the clamp plate 9 can be driven to be locked in the connecting rod 6, so as to fix the clamp 5.
