Embedded rail type hydraulic clamp

Abstract

The embedded rail type hydraulic clamp comprises a sliding rail capable of being fixed to industrial equipment in a matched mode, a base in sliding fit with the sliding rail, a driving piece installed on the base and a pressing plate connected to the base in a pivoted mode. The driving part is fixedly connected with one end of the pressing plate and can drive one end of the pressing plate to ascend and descend so as to enable the pressing plate to rotate, and the other end of the pressing plate can correspondingly and rotationally abut against a mold located on the industrial equipment station. After the embedded rail type hydraulic clamp is installed on industrial equipment, the base can be operated to slide relative to the sliding rail, so that the position of the base is adjusted, then the pressing plate is driven by the driving piece to rotate, the pressing plate can abut against and fix a mold on a station of the industrial equipment, and therefore the adaptability to molds of different sizes is improved. Due to the fact that the clamp does not need to depend on a preset T-shaped groove structure of industrial equipment, the installation process of the clamp gets rid of dependence on the equipment structure, the die replacement efficiency is remarkably improved, and the application range of the clamp in different industrial scenes is widened.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of clamping technology, specifically relating to an embedded track-type hydraulic clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Hydraulic clamps replace traditional fixed clamps with hydraulic systems, enabling rapid mold changes through oil pressure control. They are widely used in home appliances, automotive sheet metal, elevator manufacturing, and machining. Their core advantages lie in time and efficiency, significantly reducing the mold changeover process from several hours to just a few minutes, dramatically improving equipment utilization. Simultaneously, the integrated hydraulic system ensures safer and more convenient operation, effectively guaranteeing production continuity. Furthermore, hydraulic clamps possess strong compatibility and adaptability, flexibly adapting to various industrial equipment such as injection molding machines, die-casting machines, and stamping machines. They are particularly effective for the rapid changeover needs of large stamping dies for automotive body panels and home appliance housings, overcoming the efficiency bottlenecks of traditional mold changeover methods and meeting the high-precision, high-speed production requirements of different industries.

[0003] Existing fixed hydraulic clamps cannot move, requiring standardized mold base plate dimensions to facilitate clamping and fixing of the mold. However, since it is difficult to guarantee dimensional consistency for most molds, existing standard hydraulic clamps rely on left-right or up-down adjustment functions to accommodate different mold sizes. This necessitates that the corresponding injection molding machine have a T-slot structure to meet the installation and adjustment requirements of the clamps. However, not all injection molding machines are equipped with T-slots.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide an embedded track-type hydraulic clamp. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an embedded track-type hydraulic clamp, which can solve the problem that the installation of the above-mentioned hydraulic clamp depends on the T-slots pre-configured on the corresponding industrial equipment, resulting in low adaptability to different equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An embedded track-type hydraulic clamp includes a slide rail that can be fixed to an industrial equipment, a base that slides with the slide rail, a drive unit mounted on the base, and a pressure plate pivotally connected to the base; the drive unit is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure plate and can drive one end of the pressure plate to rise and fall so that the pressure plate rotates, and the other end of the pressure plate can rotatably press against a mold located at the workstation of the industrial equipment.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the slide rail includes a body part and a limiting part, the base is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting part is slidably fitted into the limiting groove in the extension direction perpendicular to the slide rail, so that the base and the limiting part interfere with each other.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the pressure plate includes a first connecting section and a second connecting section that are bent and arranged, the driving member is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting section, and the end of the second connecting section is used to press against the mold located on the workstation of the industrial equipment.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the base includes a base and a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion protruding from the base, wherein an mounting space is formed between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, and the pressure plate is located within the mounting space and is pivotally connected to the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the pressure plate is provided with a first mounting hole, the first mounting part and the second mounting part are provided with a second mounting hole coaxially arranged with the first mounting hole, and a rotating shaft is provided in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the second connecting segment is adjacent to the side wall of the base and there is a gap between the second connecting segment and the side wall of the base.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the base has a mounting groove on the side away from the slide rail, and the driving component is installed in the mounting groove.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the driving member includes a cylinder body installed in the mounting groove and a piston telescopically inserted in the cylinder body, wherein the end of the piston away from the cylinder body is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the rotation plane in which the pressure plate rotates is parallel to the extension direction of the slide rail.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the slide rail is provided with mounting holes, and fasteners are fitted into the mounting holes for mounting the slide rail to industrial equipment.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the embedded track-type hydraulic clamp of this invention, after being installed on industrial equipment, allows the base to slide relative to the slide rail, thereby adjusting the position of the base. Then, a drive component drives the pressure plate to rotate, allowing the pressure plate to press and fix the mold on the workstation of the industrial equipment, thus improving the adaptability to molds of different sizes. This embedded track-type hydraulic clamp does not rely on the pre-installed T-slot structure of the industrial equipment, freeing its installation process from dependence on the equipment structure. This not only significantly improves mold changing efficiency but also expands the applicability of the clamp in different industrial scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] This utility model's embedded track-type hydraulic clamp can be applied to various scenarios, including but not limited to applications in injection molding machines, die-casting machines, stamping machines, and mold-changing machines, to help fix molds and meet the production needs of different industries. This embodiment uses its installation in an injection molding machine as an example for illustrative explanation. The following is a detailed description of this utility model's embedded track-type hydraulic clamp.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the embedded track-type hydraulic clamp includes a slide rail 1 that can be fixed to an industrial equipment, a base 2 that slides with the slide rail 1, a drive member 3 installed on the base 2, and a pressure plate 4 pivotally connected to the base 2; the drive member 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure plate 4 and can drive one end of the pressure plate 4 to rise and fall so that the pressure plate 4 rotates, and the other end of the pressure plate 4 can rotatably press against the mold located on the work station of the industrial equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the embedded track-type hydraulic clamp is assembled into the injection molding machine. First, the operating base 2 slides along the slide rail 1 to a suitable position. Then, the driving component 3 drives the pressure plate 4 to rotate, so that the pressure plate 4 can correspondingly press and fix the mold on the industrial equipment station. Since the base 2 can slide relative to the slide rail 1, the position of the base 2 can be adjusted according to the position and size of the mold, which enhances its adaptability to different molds and improves the efficiency of quick mold change.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the slide rail 1 has a mounting hole 11, and a fastener is fitted into the mounting hole 11 for mounting the slide rail 1 to the industrial equipment. Specifically, the fastener can be a screw, which can be used to fix the embedded track-type hydraulic clamp to the injection molding machine. The above is only an exemplary description of the installation method of the slide rail 1; in other embodiments, the embedded track-type hydraulic clamp can also be assembled to the injection molding machine in other ways.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 The slide rail 1 includes a body portion 12 and a limiting portion 13. The base 2 is fitted with a limiting groove 21, and the limiting portion 13 is slidably fitted into the limiting groove 21 in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the slide rail 1, so that the base 2 and the limiting portion 13 interfere with each other. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the limiting portion 13 and the limiting groove 21 allows the base 2 to slide along the extension direction of the slide rail 1, while limiting its displacement in other directions, thereby ensuring that it effectively fixes the mold.

[0030] Reference Figure 3The pressure plate 4 includes a first connecting section 41 and a second connecting section 42 that are bent. The driving member 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting section 41, and the end of the second connecting section 42 is used to press against the mold located on the industrial equipment station. In this embodiment, the extension directions of the first connecting section 41 and the second connecting section 42 are perpendicular. In other embodiments, the angle between the extension directions of the first connecting section 41 and the second connecting section 42 can also be specifically set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The plane of rotation of the pressure plate 4 is parallel to the extension direction of the slide rail 1. The second connecting section 42 is adjacent to the side wall of the base 2, and there is a gap between them. Therefore, when the driving member 3 drives one end of the pressure plate 4 to move, the side wall of the base 2 will not interfere with the movement of the other end of the pressure plate 4, thus allowing the other end of the pressure plate 4 to press against the mold located on the industrial equipment.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 The base 2 includes a base 22 and a first mounting portion 23 and a second mounting portion 24 protruding from the base 22. An mounting space is formed between the first mounting portion 23 and the second mounting portion 24. The pressure plate 4 is located within the mounting space and is pivotally connected to the first mounting portion 23 and the second mounting portion 24. In this embodiment, the first connecting segment 41 of the pressure plate 4 is pivotally connected to the first mounting portion 23 and the second mounting portion 24.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pressure plate 4 has a first mounting hole 43. The first mounting part 23 and the second mounting part 24 cooperate to have a second mounting hole 25 coaxially arranged with the first mounting hole 43. A rotating shaft 5 is provided in the first mounting hole 43 and the second mounting hole 25 so that the pressure plate 4 can rotate around the rotating shaft 5, thereby pressing and fixing the mold.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 2 has a mounting groove on the side away from the slide rail 1, and the drive component 3 is installed in the mounting groove. The drive component 3 includes a cylinder 31 installed in the mounting groove and a piston 32 telescopically inserted into the cylinder 31. The end of the piston 32 away from the cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 4. In this embodiment, the drive component 3 is a hydraulic component used to drive the pressure plate 4 to rotate, thereby pressing against the mold located on the industrial equipment. When the piston 32 extends, it can drive the pressure plate 4 to rotate around the rotation axis 5, so that the end of the pressure plate 4 away from the piston 32 presses against the mold. Correspondingly, when the piston 32 retracts, the pressure plate 4 moves away from the mold accordingly, and a mold changing action can be performed.

[0035] Compared to existing hydraulic clamps, which require the injection molding machine to have a T-slot structure to meet the clamp's installation and adjustment needs, the embedded track-type hydraulic clamp in this embodiment has its own track, eliminating the need for pre-installed T-slots on industrial equipment. This allows it to be adapted to different industrial equipment, improving mold change efficiency and expanding its application scenarios.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
