Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics sorting machine technology, specifically to an object clamping mechanism for a logistics sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of e-commerce and the increasing demands of consumers for delivery speed, logistics centers are facing unprecedented sorting pressure. In order to solve these problems, automated sorting technology has emerged and has quickly become a key driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry. In logistics sorting operations, the object clamping mechanism is a key component that directly contacts and transports goods, and its performance directly affects the stability and efficiency of the entire sorting system.
[0003] In the prior art, patent CN222203990U discloses an object clamping mechanism for a logistics sorting machine, including a sorting machine clamping arm, a clamping rod provided at the lower part of the sorting machine clamping arm, a clamping plate fixedly connected to the end of the clamping rod, a spring column slidably connected to a hole in the middle of the clamping plate, an adaptive clamping plate fixedly connected to the end of the spring column, a hinge fixedly connected to a groove in the lower part of the adaptive clamping plate, an inclined plate rotatably connected to the end of the hinge, a locking member fixedly connected to the side of the inclined plate, and a friction plate fixedly connected to the end of the locking member;
[0004] The object clamping mechanism of this type of logistics sorting machine has the following shortcomings: the clamping plate is driven by the drive component to elastically clamp the two sides of the object. The clamping effect is generally poor because the object is only clamped by the clamping plates on both sides. The object may fall off during the handling process. Therefore, we propose an object clamping mechanism for logistics sorting machines. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide an object clamping mechanism for a logistics sorting machine. A spring pushes a slip ring, which in turn moves connecting rods two and three, causing the slide rod to move. This, in turn, moves clamping rods in four directions to clamp and limit the object, thus adapting to and fitting objects of various sizes. An electric push rod is used to fix and limit the slip ring, while a lifting rod supports the lower surface of the clamped object, thereby clamping it effectively. The clamping effect is good, effectively preventing objects from falling during transport, and effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an object clamping mechanism for a logistics sorting machine, including a housing, a connecting seat fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing, and a clamping component;
[0007] Clamping assembly: It includes a fixed base 1, a slide rod 1, a fixed base 2, a slide rod 2, a fixed post, a slip ring 1, and a slip ring 2. The fixed base 1 is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer shell. Slide rods 1 are symmetrically distributed and slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the inside of the fixed base 1. The fixed base 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed base 1. Slide rods 2 are symmetrically distributed and slidably connected to the left and right sides of the inside of the fixed base 2. Fixed posts are fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the fixed base 1 and the middle of the lower surface of the fixed base 2. Slip ring 1 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper fixed post, and slip ring 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lower fixed post. The outer surface of slip ring 1 is connected to slide rod 1. Connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected between the upper surfaces of the two slide rings. Connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected between the outer surface of the two slide rings and the side of the slide rod near the middle of the outer shell. Clamping rods are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of the two slide rods. By pushing the slide ring with a spring, connecting rod 2 and connecting rod 3 are moved respectively, causing the slide rod to move. This, in turn, causes the clamping rods in four directions to press and limit the object, thus adapting to and fitting objects of various sizes. An electric push rod is used to fix and limit the slide ring, while a lifting rod is used to lift and clamp the lower surface of the object, thereby clamping the object. The clamping effect is good, effectively preventing the object from falling during the handling process.
[0008] Furthermore, a microcontroller is installed on the outside of the housing, and the input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to an external power source to control the operation of electrical appliances.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes a first spring and a second spring. The first spring is fixedly connected between the upper surface of the second fixed base and the lower surface of the first slip ring. The second spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the upper fixed post. The upper surface of the second slip ring and the lower surface of the first fixed base are fixedly connected to the second spring. The second spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the lower fixed post, which drives the clamping rod to adaptively fit and hold objects of various sizes.
[0010] Furthermore, a mounting base is fixedly connected inside the outer shell, and a slider is slidably connected inside the mounting base. A clamping ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each fixed column. A connecting rod is rotatably connected between the outer surfaces of the clamping rings on the upper and lower sides and the upper and lower surfaces of the slider, respectively, to limit the movement of the sliding ring.
[0011] Furthermore, an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting base. The rear side of the telescopic end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the front surface of the slider. The input end of the electric push rod is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to provide driving force.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the clamping rods has a lifting rod fixedly connected to its lower surface. Each lifting rod has an inclined groove at one end near the middle of the outer shell to lift the lower surface of the object and prevent it from falling.
[0013] Furthermore, both slip ring one and slip ring two are fixedly connected to an electric push rod two inside. The input end of the electric push rod two is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to fix and limit slip ring one and slip ring two.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The object clamping mechanism of this logistics sorting machine has the following advantages:
[0015] The spring pushes the slip ring, which in turn moves the connecting rods two and three, causing the slide rod to move. This, in turn, moves the clamping rods in four directions to clamp the object tightly, thus adapting to and fitting objects of various sizes. The electric push rod is used to fix and limit the slip ring, while the lifting rod lifts and clamps the lower surface of the object, thereby clamping the object. The clamping effect is good, effectively preventing the object from falling during the handling process. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: an object clamping mechanism for a logistics sorting machine, including a housing 1, a connecting seat 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1, the connecting seat 2 being fixedly connected to an external logistics sorting machine by bolts and nuts, the external logistics sorting machine driving the object clamping mechanism to move, a microcontroller 11 being provided on the outside of the housing 1, the input end of the microcontroller 11 being electrically connected to an external power supply, and also including a clamping component 5;
[0022] Clamping assembly 5 includes a first fixed base 51, a first sliding rod 52, a second fixed base 53, a second sliding rod 54, a fixed post 55, a first sliding ring 56, and a second sliding ring 57. The first fixed base 51 is fixedly connected to the inside of the outer shell 1. The first sliding rod 52 is symmetrically distributed and slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the inside of the first fixed base 51. The second fixed base 53 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first fixed base 51. The second sliding rod 54 is symmetrically distributed and slidably connected to the left and right sides of the inside of the second fixed base 53. The fixed post 55 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the first fixed base 51 and the middle of the lower surface of the second fixed base 53. The first sliding ring 56 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper fixed post 55, and the second sliding ring 57 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lower fixed post 55. The outer surface of the first sliding ring 56 is connected to the sliding rod 54. Connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected between the upper surfaces of slide ring 2 57 and slide rod 2 54 near the middle of the outer shell 1. Clamping rod 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of slide rod 1 52 and slide rod 2 54. Clamping assembly 5 also includes spring 1 58 and spring 2 59. Spring 1 58 is fixedly connected between the upper surface of fixed base 2 53 and the lower surface of slide ring 1 56, and spring 1 58 is sleeved on the outer surface of the upper fixed post 55. Spring 2 59 is fixedly connected between the upper surface of slide ring 2 57 and the lower surface of fixed base 1 51, and spring 2 59 is sleeved on the outer surface of the lower fixed post 55. When spring 1 58 relaxes, it pushes slide ring 1 56 to move upward along the direction of fixed post 55, thereby driving connecting rod 2 The upper end moves upward, causing the lower end of connecting rod 2 to move closer to the fixed post 55, which in turn causes the two sliding rods 52 to move towards each other, and causes the two longitudinally adjacent clamping rods 3 to move towards each other, thus clamping the object longitudinally. Spring 2 69 relaxes, pushing sliding ring 2 57 to move downward along the fixed post 55, causing the lower end of connecting rod 3 to move downward, which in turn causes the upper end of connecting rod 3 to move closer to the fixed post 55, causing the two sliding rods 54 to move towards each other, and causing the two laterally adjacent clamping rods 3 to move towards each other. A mounting base 7 is fixedly connected inside the outer shell 1, and a slider 8 is slidably connected inside the mounting base 7. A clamping ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed post 55, and the outer surfaces of the clamping rings 6 on the upper and lower sides are respectively aligned with the upper and lower surfaces of the slider 8. A connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 7. An electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting base 7. The rear side of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the slider 8. The input end of the electric push rod 10 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 11. The object to be clamped is positioned in the middle of the four clamping rods 3. The microcontroller 11 is operated to start the electric push rod 10. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 extends, pushing the slider 8 to move backward. This causes the end of the connecting rod 9 near the slider 8 to move backward. The end of the connecting rod 9 away from the slider 8 drives the clamping ring 6 to move away from the slider 8 along the direction of the fixed post 55. This prevents the clamping ring 6 from squeezing the slip ring 56 and slip ring 57. A lifting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of each clamping rod 3.Each lifting rod 4 has a slanted groove at one end near the middle of the outer casing 1. The lifting rod 4 is in close contact with the lower surface of the object to lift it. Electric push rods 2 are fixedly connected inside both slip ring 1 56 and slip ring 2 57. The input end of each electric push rod 2 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 11. Operating the microcontroller 11 extends the telescopic end of the electric push rod 2, and the right end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 2 is in close contact with the outer surface of the fixing post 55, thereby fixing and limiting slip ring 1 56 and slip ring 2 57, thus achieving object clamping.
[0023] The working principle of the object clamping mechanism for a logistics sorting machine provided by this utility model is as follows: When using this object clamping mechanism to clamp an object, the connecting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the external logistics sorting machine by bolts and nuts. The external logistics sorting machine drives the object clamping mechanism to move, so that the object to be clamped is located in the middle of the four clamping rods 3. The microcontroller 11 is operated to start the electric push rod 10. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 extends, pushing the slider 8 to move backward, causing the end of the connecting rod 9 near the slider 8 to move backward. The end of the connecting rod 9 away from the slider 8 drives the clamping ring 6 to move away from the slider 8 along the direction of the fixed column 55. Thus, the clamping ring 6 no longer squeezes the slip ring 56 and slip ring 57. The spring 58 relaxes, pushing the slip ring 56 to move upward along the direction of the fixed column 55, driving... The upper end of connecting rod 2 moves upward, causing the lower end of connecting rod 2 to move closer to the fixed post 55. This causes the two sliding rods 52 to move towards each other, and the two adjacent clamping rods 3 to move towards each other, clamping the object longitudinally. Spring 69 relaxes, pushing slip ring 57 to move downward along the fixed post 55, causing the lower end of connecting rod 3 to move downward, causing the upper end of connecting rod 3 to move closer to the fixed post 55. This causes the two sliding rods 54 to move towards each other, and the two adjacent clamping rods 3 to move towards each other laterally, clamping the object laterally. At the same time, lifting rod 4 is pressed against the lower surface of the object, lifting the object. Then, the microcontroller 11 is operated, and the telescopic end of electric push rod 2 extends. The right end of the telescopic end of electric push rod 2 is pressed against the outer surface of the fixed post 55, thereby fixing and limiting slip rings 56 and 57, thus achieving object clamping.
