Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary gripping and positioning mechanism for machining electrical component knobs, including a mounting base 1, on which a gripping mechanism for machining electrical component knobs is provided, the gripping mechanism including:

[0024] The replacement component includes a hydraulic rod 2 installed on the upper end of the mounting base 1. A mounting bracket 201 is fixed to the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 2. A clamping rod 302 connected by a clamping assembly is installed inside the mounting bracket 201. A mounting seat 303 is fixed to one end of the clamping rod 302. A clamping plate 402 connected by a locking assembly is installed inside the mounting seat 303. The clamping plate 402 has an L-shaped structure. A locking plate 403 connected by a locking assembly is fixed to the edge of the clamping plate 402.

[0025] The anti-detachment component includes a cavity housing 6 fixed at the lower end of the clamping plate 402, and a support block 603 connected by an elastic component is provided inside the cavity housing 6.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 202 fixedly through the mounting bracket 201. A movable block 3 is fixed to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 202. Clamping rods 302 are located on the outer wall of the movable block 3 and are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft. Three sets of clamping rods 302 are configured. A movable rod 301 is rotatably connected to the upper end of each clamping rod 302 via a rotating shaft. The other end of the movable rod 301 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 202 via a rotating shaft. When it is necessary to grip an electrical component knob, the clamping assembly is activated. A hydraulic cylinder 202 is fixed inside the mounting bracket 201. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 202 drives the movable block 3 to move. When the movable block 3 moves, it drives the three sets of clamping rods 302 connected to it to rotate through the rotating shaft. At the same time, the upper end of the clamping rod 302 is rotatably connected to the movable rod 301 through the rotating shaft, and the other end is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 202. The movable rod 301 assists the clamping rod 302 to rotate, so that the three sets of clamping rods 302 are in a converged or open state, realizing the gripping or releasing action of the electrical component knob.

[0027] The design of three sets of clamping rods 302 enables stable clamping of electrical component knobs from multiple directions. The opening and closing of the clamping rods 302 are controlled by hydraulic cylinder 202, providing stable power and easy control. It can adapt to electrical component knobs of different sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the gripping mechanism.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the engaging assembly includes a pair of slots 4 formed on the upper surface of the mounting base 303. A locking block 401 is inserted into the slot 4. A clamping plate 402 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking block 401. The locking assembly includes a sliding shell 405 fixed to the side wall of the mounting base 303. A compression spring 406 is fixed to the inner wall of the sliding shell 405. A sliding plate 408, slidably connected to the sliding shell 405, is fixed to the other end of the compression spring 406. A locking block 409 is fixed to one side wall of the sliding plate 408. A first telescopic sleeve 407 is provided on the inner ring of the compression spring 406. Both ends of the first telescopic sleeve 407 are fixedly connected to the sliding plate 408 and the inner wall of the sliding shell 405, respectively. A locking plate 403 is located at the edge of the L-shaped clamping plate 402. The locking plate 403 has a locking groove 404 corresponding to the locking block 409 inside, and the locking plate 403 can be inserted into the sliding shell 405. When clamping plate 402 is in place, align the locking block 401 fixed on clamping plate 402 with a pair of slots 4 opened on the upper end face of mounting base 303, and then insert the locking block 401 into the slot 4 to achieve initial positioning of clamping plate 402 and mounting base 303. After clamping plate 402 is in place, insert the locking plate 403 at the edge of L-shaped clamping plate 402 into slide groove housing 405. At this time, the compression spring 406 fixed on the inner wall of slide groove housing 405 pushes slide plate 408. 408 drives the locking block 409 to move, so that the locking block 409 is inserted into the locking groove 404 corresponding to the locking block 409 inside the locking plate 403, thus completing the locking and fixing of the clamping plate 402 and the mounting base 303. The first telescopic sleeve rod 407 plays a guiding and stabilizing role, ensuring the smooth movement of the slide plate 408. When disassembling, the slide plate 408 is pulled by the pull rod to compress on the compression spring 406, so that the locking block 409 is separated from the locking groove 404.

[0029] The use of the snap-fit ​​assembly and the locking assembly makes the installation and removal of the clamp plate 402 simple and convenient. When it is necessary to replace the clamp plate 402 of different specifications to adapt to different electrical component knobs, no complicated tools and operating procedures are required, and the replacement work can be completed quickly, thus improving production efficiency.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, rubber plugs 5 are uniformly fixed on the clamping surface of the clamping plate 402. The rubber plugs 5 have a conical structure. When the clamping rod 302 drives the clamping plate 402 to clamp the electrical component knob, the rubber plugs 5 uniformly fixed on the clamping surface of the clamping plate 402 come into contact with the surface of the electrical component knob. Since the rubber plugs 5 have a conical structure, under the action of clamping force, the rubber plugs 5 can better fit the surface of the electrical component knob, increasing the friction with the knob surface. The setting of the rubber plugs 5 greatly increases the friction between the clamping plate 402 and the electrical component knob, preventing the knob from sliding during gripping and handling.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic component includes a return spring 601 fixed to the inner wall of the cavity shell 6. A second telescopic sleeve 602 is provided on the inner ring of the return spring 601. A support block 603 is fixedly connected to the end of the return spring 601, with one end of the support block 603 sliding out from the outside of the cavity shell 6. The end of the support block 603 sliding out from the outside of the cavity shell 6 is located at the lower end of the clamping plate 402. Both ends of the second telescopic sleeve 602 are fixedly connected to the support block 603 and the inner wall of the cavity shell 6, respectively. A cavity groove 605 is formed inside the clamping plate 402. An electric push rod 606 is fixed inside the cavity groove 605. A pressure block 607 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 606. The support block 603 is positioned near the pressure block... One side wall of block 607 has an inclined surface 604, and the inclined surface 604 is slidably connected to the pressure block 607. When the electrical knob is not gripped, the return spring 601 is in its natural state, and the pressure block 607 is retracted into the cavity groove 605 by the electric push rod 606. The support block 603 is retracted into the cavity shell 6 by the return spring 601. When the clamping plate 402 clamps the knob, the electric push rod 606 pushes the pressure block 607, and the pressure block 607 slides along the inclined surface 604, further pushing the support block 603 to move, so that the support block 603 slides out of the cavity shell 6 and then supports the bottom of the knob, which further improves the gripping stability and prevents the knob from falling off during the gripping process.

[0032] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0033] During operation, when it is necessary to grasp the knob of an electrical component, first activate the hydraulic cylinder 202, which is fixed inside the mounting bracket 201. Its telescopic end drives the movable block 3 to move. The movable block 3 drives the three sets of clamping rods 302 connected to it to rotate via the rotating shaft. At the same time, the movable rod 301 assists the clamping rods 302 in rotating, so that the three sets of clamping rods 302 are in an open state to accommodate the size of the knob. If it is necessary to replace the clamping plate 402 of different specifications, first pull the slide plate 408 with the pull rod to compress it on the compression spring 406, so that the locking block 409 separates from the locking groove 404. Remove the old clamping plate. When installing the new clamping plate, align the locking block 401 on the clamping plate 402 with the locking groove 4 on the upper end face of the mounting base 303 and insert it to complete the initial positioning. Then insert the locking plate 403 into the slide groove housing 405 and compress the spring 406. Pushing the slide plate 408 causes the locking block 409 to insert into the locking groove 404 for locking and fixing. Then, the control clamping rod 302 converges, and the conical rubber plug 5 on the clamping surface of the clamping plate 402 contacts the knob surface, increasing friction. During the clamping process of the clamping plate 402, the knob exerts downward pressure on the clamping plate 402, causing the support block 603 to move into the cavity shell 6. The return spring 601 is compressed, and the second telescopic sleeve rod 602 retracts to provide support for the clamping plate 402. If it is necessary to further enhance the anti-disengagement effect, the electric push rod 606 is activated to push the pressure block 607. The pressure block 607 slides along the inclined surface 604 of the support block 603, further pushing the support block 603 out of the cavity shell 6 to support the bottom of the knob, thereby completing the stable gripping and positioning of the electrical component knob.
