Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-standard equipment, and in particular to a clamping mechanism for moving blocks. Background Technology

[0002] The distribution block in a centrifugal gearbox is one of the main components. The distribution block includes a head, a left leg, and a right leg. When assembling the distribution block, the left and right legs need to be compressed into the assembly state, and then aligned with other components of the centrifugal gearbox. The left and right legs then spring back from the compressed assembly state and complete the assembly with other components. This assembly process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient when done manually. Due to the special structure of the distribution block, there is currently no automated device that can effectively complete the automatic assembly of the distribution block. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above problems, this utility model provides a clamping mechanism for a moving block. The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0004] A clamping mechanism for a moving block includes a base, a lifting cylinder on the base, a lifting platform on the lifting cylinder, a first clamping cylinder on the lifting platform, a left clamp and a right clamp on the first clamping cylinder, a second clamping cylinder between the left and right clamps, a front clamp and a rear clamp on the second clamping cylinder, and a limit groove on the rear clamp to limit the moving block. The second clamping cylinder drives the front clamp to move closer to the rear clamp and clamp the moving block. The first clamping cylinder drives the left and right clamps to move closer to the moving block, and the left and right clamps respectively press against the left and right legs of the moving block to press the left and right legs of the moving block into an assembled state. The lifting cylinder drives the first clamping cylinder to move upward to move the moving block to the assembly position.

[0005] Furthermore, a linear slide module is provided on the base, and a lifting cylinder is mounted on the slide of the linear slide module. The linear slide module drives the lifting cylinder to move linearly in the left and right directions.

[0006] Furthermore, positioning grooves are provided on both the left and right walls of the limiting groove, the head of the moving block is placed at the bottom of the limiting groove, and the left and right legs of the moving block fall into the positioning grooves respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the width of the front gripper is smaller than the width of the limiting groove, the inner side of the front gripper is an arc-shaped wall, the front gripper approaches the rear gripper and enters the limiting groove, and the arc-shaped wall clamps the head of the moving block.

[0008] Furthermore, both the left and right grippers are provided with Y-shaped grooves. When the left and right grippers press against the left and right legs of the moving block, the left and right legs of the moving block fall into the Y-shaped grooves respectively, thereby limiting the left and right legs of the moving block.

[0009] Furthermore, a position sensor is installed on the base, which is electrically connected to the central controller. The lifting cylinder, the first clamping cylinder, and the second clamping cylinder are all electrically connected to the central controller.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] The clamping mechanism includes a base, a lifting cylinder mounted on the base, a lifting platform mounted on the lifting cylinder, a first clamping cylinder mounted on the lifting platform, a left clamp and a right clamp on the first clamping cylinder, and a second clamping cylinder positioned between the left and right clamps, with a front clamp and a rear clamp on the second clamping cylinder; the rear clamp has a limit groove to limit the moving block; in use, the moving block is placed in the limit groove, and the second clamping cylinder drives the front clamp to move. The first clamping cylinder drives the left and right clamps to move closer to the moving block, and the left and right clamps press against the left and right legs of the moving block respectively to press the left and right legs of the moving block into the assembly state. The lifting cylinder drives the first clamping cylinder to move upward, and moves the moving block to the assembly position. After being released, the left and right legs of the moving block spring back and pass into other parts, completing the automated assembly of the moving block, which is time-saving, labor-saving and highly efficient.

[0022] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a specific embodiment of the "a clamping mechanism for moving blocks" of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a base 100, a lifting cylinder 200 is provided on the base 100, a lifting platform 201 is provided on the lifting cylinder 200, a first clamping cylinder 300 is provided on the lifting platform 201, a left clamping jaw 301 and a right clamping jaw 302 are provided on the first clamping cylinder 300, a second clamping cylinder 400 is provided between the left clamping jaw 301 and the right clamping jaw 302, a front clamping jaw 401 and a rear clamping jaw 402 are provided on the second clamping cylinder 400, and a limit groove 403 is provided on the rear clamping jaw 402 to limit the moving block 500. In use, the actuating block 500 is moved into the limiting groove 403 by a robotic arm or mechanical gripper. Then, the second clamping cylinder 400 drives the front gripper 401 to move closer to the rear gripper 402 and clamp the actuating block 500 to prevent it from moving. Next, the first clamping cylinder 300 drives the left gripper 301 and the right gripper 302 to move closer to the actuating block 500. The left gripper 301 and the right gripper 302 respectively press against the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500, driving the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500 to move. 2. The actuator 500 undergoes elastic deformation and moves closer together, pressing the left leg 501 and right leg 502 of the actuator 500 into the assembly position. Then, the lifting cylinder 200 drives the first clamping cylinder 300 to move upward, transferring the actuator 500 to the assembly position. The first clamping cylinder 300 releases the clamp, and the left leg 501 and right leg 502 of the actuator 500 spring back and engage with other components. The second clamping cylinder 400 releases the clamp, releasing the actuator 500. The lifting cylinder 200 retracts, and the above process is repeated to complete the automated assembly of the actuator 500. This clamping mechanism can realize the automated assembly of the actuator 500, saving time and effort and achieving high efficiency.

[0024] More specifically, in this embodiment, a linear slide module 101 is provided on the base 100, and a lifting cylinder 200 is provided on the slide of the linear slide module 101. The linear slide module 101 drives the lifting cylinder 200 to move linearly in the left and right directions, so that the clamping mechanism can move in the up, down and left and right directions to adapt to a wider range of assembly operations of the moving block 500.

[0025] See further Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, positioning grooves 404 are provided on both the left and right sides of the limiting groove 403. When the clamping mechanism is working, the head of the moving block 500 is placed at the bottom of the limiting groove 403, and the left leg 501 and right leg 502 of the moving block 500 fall into the positioning grooves 404 respectively, which facilitates the moving block 500 to be quickly positioned in the limiting groove 403. When the left gripper 301 and right gripper 302 press against the left leg 501 and right leg 502 of the moving block 500 respectively, causing the left leg 501 and right leg 502 of the moving block 500 to elastically deform and move closer to each other, the positioning grooves 404 can prevent the left leg 501 and right leg 502 of the moving block 500 from shifting.

[0026] See further Figure 3 In this embodiment, the width of the front gripper 401 is smaller than the width of the limiting groove 403, and the inner side of the front gripper 401 is an arc-shaped wall 405. When the clamping mechanism is in operation, the front gripper 401 moves closer to the rear gripper 402 and enters the limiting groove 403. The head of the moving block 500 is cylindrical, and the arc-shaped wall 405 matches the head of the moving block 500, which makes it convenient for the front gripper 401 to clamp the head of the moving block 500 without damaging the head of the moving block 500.

[0027] See further Figure 2 In this embodiment, both the left gripper 301 and the right gripper 302 are provided with Y-shaped grooves 303. When the left gripper 301 and the right gripper 302 press against the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500, the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500 fall into the Y-shaped grooves 303 respectively, thereby limiting the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500. This further prevents the left gripper 301 and the right gripper 302 from pressing against the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500 respectively. When the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500 are driven to elastically deform and move closer to each other, the left leg 501 and the right leg 502 of the actuating block 500 will shift and cannot be accurately compressed to the assembly state.

[0028] More specifically, in this embodiment, a position sensor 102 is provided on the base 100. The position sensor 102 is electrically connected to the central controller. The lifting cylinder 200, the first clamping cylinder 300, and the second clamping cylinder 400 are all electrically connected to the central controller. During operation, after the first clamping cylinder 300 and the second clamping cylinder 400 clamp and fix the moving block 500, the linear slide module 101 drives the lifting cylinder 200 to move linearly left and right. The position sensor 102 transmits the information of the lifting cylinder 200 moving to the position to the central controller. The central controller controls the lifting cylinder 200 to lift the first clamping cylinder 300 and the second clamping cylinder 400, which clamp the moving block 500, to the assembly position. The central controller then controls the first clamping cylinder 300 and the second clamping cylinder 400 to release, completing the assembly of the moving block 500. After that, the lifting cylinder 200 is controlled to retract to perform the next clamping cycle, realizing the automated assembly of the moving block 500.
