Hub motor testing includes power and torque testing, dynamic response testing, and durability testing. During testing, the hub motor is clamped and fixed to a positioning fixture. Existing hub motor shaft clamping fixtures pose a certain safety hazard; if the operator's fingers are positioned between the upper and lower clamping blocks, the operator's fingers could be trapped when the upper clamping block is activated. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to improve the automatic clamping fixture for motor shafts with high safety and protective function.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic clamping fixture for motor shafts with protective function, comprising a frame, columns, a top plate, a connecting plate, a telescopic cylinder, an upper clamping block, a lower clamping block, an upper pressure plate, a lowering plate, a limit rod, a touch switch, a push button switch, and a control module. Four columns are rectangularly distributed and fixedly installed on the frame. The top plate is fixedly installed on the top of the columns. The connecting plate is slidably sleeved on the columns. The cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top plate, and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The upper and lower clamping blocks are respectively fixedly installed on the connecting plate and the frame, and upper V-shaped clamping jaws are provided on the upper and lower clamping blocks. The lower clamping jaw, upper pressure plate, and downloading plate are fixedly installed on the upper clamping block and lower clamping block, respectively.

[0013] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the upper clamping block and the lower clamping block. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments:

[0015] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, an automatic motor shaft clamping fixture with protective function includes a frame 1, columns 2, a top plate 3, a connecting plate 4, a telescopic cylinder 31, an upper clamping block 61, a lower clamping block 62, an upper pressure plate 7, a lowering plate 8, a limit rod 9, a touch switch 91, a push button switch 92, and a control module. The four columns 2 are rectangularly distributed and fixedly installed on the frame 1. The top plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the columns 2. The connecting plate 4 is slidably fitted onto the columns 2. The cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder 31 is fixedly installed on the top plate 3, and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4. The upper clamping block 61 and the lower clamping block 62 are respectively fixedly installed on the connecting plate 4 and the frame 1. The upper clamping block 61 and the lower clamping block 62 are equipped with an upper V-shaped clamping jaw 611 and a lower V-shaped clamping jaw 621, respectively. Plate 7 and download plate 8 are fixedly installed on upper clamping block 61 and lower clamping block 62, respectively. Download plate 8 has a first through hole in the left and right direction. The first through hole has a spring groove 80. The top surface of download plate 8 has a sliding groove 84 that communicates with the first through hole. A guide rod 81 is slidably installed in the first through hole. A limiting rod 9 is located in the sliding groove 84, and the lower end of the limiting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 81. The upper pressure plate 7 is provided with a second through hole 71 that cooperates with the limiting rod 9. A spring 82 is sleeved on the guide rod 81. The two ends of the spring 80 act on the left end of the spring groove 80 and the limiting rod 9, respectively. Touch switch 91 is fixedly installed on download plate 8, and button switch 92 is fixedly installed on frame 1. Touch switch 91 and button switch 92 are respectively connected to the control module through circuit.

[0016] The right end of the guide rod 81 extends 3-5cm beyond the right end face of the download plate 8. A limiting stop ring 83 is fixedly sleeved on the right end of the guide rod 81, acting on the right end face of the download plate 8. The limiting stop ring 83 is fixedly installed on the guide rod 81 by bolts. After loosening the bolts, the installation position of the limiting stop ring 83 can be adjusted. By contacting the right end face of the download plate 8 with the limiting stop ring 83, the extreme position of the leftward movement of the guide rod 81 and the limiting rod 9 assembly can be limited, so that the limiting rod 9 is not positioned by the left end face of the slide groove 84. At the same time, the extreme position of the leftward movement of the guide rod 81 and the limiting rod 9 assembly can be adjusted. The telescopic cylinder 31 is connected to the air pressure station through pipelines and a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is connected to the control module through a circuit.

[0017] The first through hole is configured as a square hole structure, and the guide rod 81 is configured as a square shaft structure. The two are installed together to prevent the guide rod 81 from rotating and to ensure that the limit rod 9 is always in a vertical state.

[0018] The lower clamping block 62 is fixedly installed on the base 5, and the base 5 is screwed and fixedly installed on the frame 1. The installation height of the lower clamping block 62 can be increased by the base 5 to avoid interference between the tire of the hub motor 10 and the frame 1.

[0019] The outer edge of the top surface of the limiting rod 9 is set with an angled structure to provide guidance for the top of the limiting rod 9 to enter the second through hole 71.

[0020] Pressing the button switch 92 causes the control module to retract the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 31 upwards, causing the upper clamping block 61 to separate from the lower clamping block 62. The combination of the limiting rod 9 and the guide rod 81 moves to the right under the action of the spring 82. The limiting rod 9 is located in a position not directly below the second through hole 71. Even if the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 31 extends downwards to push the upper clamping block 61 downwards, it will be blocked by the contact between the limiting rod 9 and the upper pressure plate 7. The shaft 101 of the hub motor 10 is placed between the V-shaped clamp 611 and the lower clamp 621. The operator pushes the shaft 101 of the hub motor 10. When the limit rod 9 comes into contact with the limit rod 81, the combination of the limit rod 9 and the guide rod 81 moves to the left against the elastic force of the spring 82. When the limit rod 9 comes into contact with the touch switch 91, the limit rod 9 is located directly below the second through hole 71. After it is activated, the touch switch 91 sends an electrical signal to the control module. The control module controls the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 31 to extend downward. The limit rod 9 slides into the second through hole 71, pushing the upper clamping block 61 to move downward, clamping and fixing the shaft 101 of the hub motor 10 between the V-shaped clamping mouth 611 and the lower clamping mouth 621.
