However, in existing workpiece machining processes, workpiece flipping typically relies on manual operation or simple mechanical devices. This method is not only inefficient but also wastes human resources and poses safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an integrated clamping mechanism that facilitates material feeding and discharging, in order to solve the above problems.

[0004] An integrated clamping mechanism for facilitating material feeding and discharging is disclosed, used to switch the placement state of a blank. The integrated clamping mechanism includes a horizontal-vertical switching component, a feeding clamping component mounted on the horizontal-vertical switching component, a discharging clamping component located on one side of the feeding clamping component, and a loading / unloading component located on one side of the horizontal-vertical switching component. The horizontal-vertical switching component includes a state-switching cylinder, a rack at the output end of the state-switching cylinder, a gear on one side of the rack, a base on one side of the gear, a connecting rod rotatably passing through the base, and a U-shaped base plate fixedly mounted on the connecting rod. The output direction of the state-switching cylinder faces the gear, and the teeth on the rack mesh with the circumferential outer wall of the gear. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly located at the center of the gear, and the other end is fixedly connected to the U-shaped base plate, with the connecting rod rotatably passing through the base.

[0005] Furthermore, the feeding clamping assembly includes a feeding base disposed on the U-shaped base plate, a feeding clamping cylinder disposed on one side of the feeding base, a feeding rocker plate rotatably disposed on the output end of the feeding clamping cylinder, a feeding base disposed on one side of the feeding rocker plate, and a feeding pressure plate disposed on the end of the feeding rocker plate away from the feeding clamping cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, the feeding base has a feeding support plate on the side facing the loading and unloading assembly, and the side wall of the feeding support plate of the feeding base is arranged in an inward arc shape.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding clamping cylinder is fixedly mounted on the U-shaped base plate, and the output direction of the feeding clamping cylinder is perpendicular to the plane of the U-shaped base plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding rocker is movably sleeved at the end of the feeding base, and a feeding movable rod is fixedly inserted at the position corresponding to the position of the feeding base. The feeding base has an arc-shaped feeding movable groove at the position corresponding to the position of the feeding rocker, and the feeding movable rod movably passes through the feeding movable groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the discharge clamping assembly includes a discharge base disposed on the U-shaped base plate and corresponding to the feeding base, a discharge clamping cylinder disposed on one side of the discharge base, a discharge rocker plate rotatably disposed on the output end of the discharge clamping cylinder, a discharge base disposed on one side of the discharge rocker plate, a discharge pressure plate disposed on the end of the discharge rocker plate away from the discharge clamping cylinder, and a pusher cylinder disposed on the discharge base.

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in further detail below. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of this utility model herein is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the integrated clamping mechanism for easy feeding and discharging of materials provided by this utility model. The integrated clamping mechanism includes a horizontal-vertical switching component 10, a feeding clamping component 20 disposed on the horizontal-vertical switching component 10, a discharging clamping component 30 disposed on one side of the feeding clamping component 20, and a loading / unloading component 40 disposed on one side of the horizontal-vertical switching component 10. It is conceivable that the integrated clamping mechanism for easy feeding and discharging of materials also includes other functional modules, such as a power module, a screw module, etc., which are technologies known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 4 It should be noted that the integrated clamping mechanism, which facilitates material loading and unloading, is used to change the placement state of a blank 50, that is, to rotate the blank 50 from a horizontally placed position by 90° to a vertically placed position. The blank 50 is generally disc-shaped and is placed horizontally when it is conveyed from the loading / unloading assembly 40. In subsequent processing operations, it is necessary to process the two side walls of the blank 50. Therefore, the horizontal / vertical switching assembly 10 is needed to switch the placement state of the blank 50 to ensure that one of the external grippers can hold the circumferential outer side wall of the blank 50, thereby processing the two planar side walls of the blank 50.

[0022] The horizontal-vertical switching assembly 10 includes a state switching cylinder 11, a rack 12 disposed at the output end of the state switching cylinder 11, a gear 13 disposed on one side of the rack 12, a base 14 disposed on one side of the gear 13, a connecting rod 15 rotatably passing through the base 14, and a U-shaped base plate 16 fixedly disposed on the connecting rod 15.

[0023] The output direction of the state switching cylinder 11 is towards the gear 13, and the teeth on the rack 12 mesh with the circumferential outer wall of the gear 13. Thus, the state switching cylinder 11 can drive and move the rack 12 back and forth, thereby enabling the gear 13 to rotate forward or backward around its center.

[0024] One end of the connecting rod 15 is fixedly disposed at the center of the gear 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the U-shaped base plate 16. The connecting rod 15 rotates through the base 14 to support it. The U-shaped base plate 16 is respectively provided with the feeding clamping assembly 20 and the discharging clamping assembly 30. When the gear 13 rotates forward and backward, the U-shaped base plate 16 rotates forward and backward around the connecting rod 15 under the drive of the connecting rod 15, thereby driving the feeding and discharging clamping assemblies 20 and 30 to rotate forward and backward, so as to complete the state switching of the blank 50 clamped on the feeding and discharging clamping assemblies 20 and 30.

[0025] The feeding clamping assembly 20 includes a feeding base 21 disposed on the U-shaped base plate 16, a feeding clamping cylinder 22 disposed on one side of the feeding base 21, a feeding rocker plate 23 rotatably disposed on the output end of the feeding clamping cylinder 22, a feeding base 24 disposed on one side of the feeding rocker plate 23, and a feeding pressure plate 25 disposed on the end of the feeding rocker plate 23 away from the feeding clamping cylinder 22.

[0026] The feeding base 21 is provided with a feeding support plate 26 on the side facing the loading and unloading assembly 40, and the side wall of the feeding base 21 with the feeding support plate 26 is arranged in an inward arc shape to fit the circumferential outer wall of the blank 50, thereby ensuring the positioning effect of the blank 50.

[0027] The feeding clamping cylinder 22 is fixedly mounted on the U-shaped base plate 16. The output direction of the feeding clamping cylinder 22 is perpendicular to the plane of the U-shaped base plate 16, and it can drive one end of the feeding rocker 23 to lift or lower.

[0028] The feeding rocker arm 23 is movably sleeved on the end of the feeding base 24, and a feeding movable rod 27 is fixedly inserted at the position corresponding to the position of the feeding base 24. The feeding base 24 has an arc-shaped feeding movable groove 28 at the position corresponding to the position of the feeding rocker arm 23, and the feeding movable rod 27 movably passes through the feeding movable groove 28. When the feeding clamping cylinder 22 drives one end of the feeding rocker arm 23 to rise or fall, the feeding rocker arm 23 will drive the feeding movable rod 27 to slide in the feeding movable groove 28, thereby causing the end of the feeding rocker arm 23 with the feeding pressure plate 25 to move down or up, thereby causing the feeding pressure plate 25 to move closer to or away from the feeding support plate 26 to clamp the billet 50 located on the feeding support plate 26.

[0029] The discharge clamping assembly 30 includes a discharge base 31 disposed on the U-shaped base plate 16 and corresponding to the feeding base 21, a discharge clamping cylinder 32 disposed on one side of the discharge base 31, a discharge rocker plate 33 rotatably disposed on the output end of the discharge clamping cylinder 32, a discharge base 34 disposed on one side of the discharge rocker plate 33, a discharge pressure plate 35 disposed on the end of the discharge rocker plate 33 away from the discharge clamping cylinder 32, and a pusher cylinder 36 disposed on the discharge base 31.

[0030] The discharge base 31 is provided with a discharge support plate 37 on the side facing the loading and unloading assembly 40, and the side wall of the discharge support plate 37 of the discharge base 31 is arranged in an inward arc shape to fit the circumferential outer wall of the blank 50, thereby ensuring the positioning effect of the blank 50.

[0031] The discharge clamping cylinder 32 is fixedly mounted on the U-shaped base plate 16. The output direction of the discharge clamping cylinder 32 is perpendicular to the plane of the U-shaped base plate 16, and it can drive one end of the discharge rocker plate 33 to lift or lower.

[0032] The discharge rocker arm 33 is movably sleeved on the end of the discharge base 34, and a discharge movable rod 38 is fixedly inserted at the position corresponding to the position of the discharge base 34. The discharge base 34 has an arc-shaped discharge movable groove 39 at the position corresponding to the position of the discharge rocker arm 33, and the discharge movable rod 38 movably passes through the discharge movable groove 39. When the discharge clamping cylinder 32 drives one end of the discharge rocker arm 33 to rise or fall, the discharge rocker arm 33 will drive the discharge movable rod 38 to slide in the discharge movable groove 39, thereby causing the end of the discharge rocker arm 33 with the discharge pressure plate 35 to move down or up, thereby causing the discharge pressure plate 35 to move closer to or away from the discharge support plate 37 to clamp the billet 50 located on the discharge support plate 37.

[0033] The output end of the pusher cylinder 36 moves through the concave arc-shaped sidewall of the discharge base 31 to push the finished blank 50 into the loading and unloading assembly 40.

[0034] The loading and unloading assembly 40 includes a loading conveyor belt 41 and an unloading conveyor belt 42 disposed on one side of the loading conveyor belt 41.

[0035] The output end of the feeding conveyor belt 41 faces and approaches the feeding base 21 in the feeding clamping assembly 20, so that the blank 50 can be transported to the feeding support plate 26 under the conveying of the feeding conveyor belt 41, and the circumferential outer wall of the blank 50 abuts against the side wall of the feeding base 21 which has an inwardly concave arc shape, so as to complete the positioning operation of the blank 50.

[0036] The input end of the feeding conveyor belt 42 is close to and located on one side of the discharge base 31 in the discharge clamping assembly 30, so that the blank 50 is pushed onto the feeding conveyor belt 42 under the drive of the pushing cylinder 36, and transported by the feeding conveyor belt 42 to the next process.

[0037] The working principle of the integrated clamping mechanism that facilitates material feeding and discharging is described in detail below: The billet 50 is transported to the feeding support plate 26 by the feeding conveyor belt 41. The feeding clamping cylinder 22 drives the end of the feeding rocker 23 to rise, causing the end of the feeding rocker 23 with the feeding pressure plate 25 to fall, thereby pressing the billet 50 onto the feeding support plate 26 by the feeding pressure plate 25. The state switching cylinder 11 drives and moves the rack 12 away from the state switching cylinder 11, thereby driving the gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the U-shaped base plate 16 to rotate 90° through the connecting rod 15. At this time, the plane of the U-shaped base plate 16 changes from being parallel to the horizontal plane to being perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the billet 50 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state. An external gripper holds the circumferential outer wall of the blank 50. The feeding gripping cylinder 22 drives the end of the feeding rocker 23 to approach the feeding gripping cylinder 22 to release the pressure on the blank 50, so that the gripper can remove the blank 50 to process the two planar sidewalls of the blank 50.

[0038] After processing, the blank 50 is transported by the grippers to one side of the discharge support plate 37 and supported by the concave arc-shaped side wall of the discharge base 31. The discharge clamping cylinder 32 drives the end of the discharge rocker 33 away from the discharge clamping cylinder 32, so that the end of the discharge rocker 33 with the discharge pressure plate 35 approaches the discharge support plate 37, thereby fixing the blank 50 onto the discharge support plate 37. The state switching cylinder 11 drives and moves the rack 12 closer to the state switching cylinder 11, thereby driving the gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the U-shaped base plate 16 to rotate 90° through the connecting rod 15. At this time, the plane of the U-shaped base plate 16 changes from a state perpendicular to the horizontal plane to a state horizontal to the horizontal plane, and the blank 50 changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state. The discharge clamping cylinder 32 drives the end of the discharge rocker 33 to approach the discharge clamping cylinder 32, thereby releasing the pressure on the billet 50. The pushing cylinder drives and pushes the billet 50 onto the unloading conveyor belt 42, which then transports it to the next process. This cycle repeats, completing the state switching of the billet 50.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the integrated clamping mechanism provided by this utility model facilitates material feeding and discharging. Driven by the state-switching cylinder 11, the U-shaped base plate 16 is flipped to switch the blank 50 pressed on the feed support plate 26 from a horizontal to a vertical state. This allows the external grippers to clamp the outer circumferential wall of the blank 50, enabling processing of the two planar sidewalls. The blank 50 is then placed on the concave arc-shaped sidewall of the discharge base 31, and driven by the state-switching cylinder 11, the U-shaped base plate 16 is flipped to switch the blank 50 from a vertical to a horizontal state. This integrated clamping mechanism, facilitating material feeding and discharging, requires no manual operation throughout the process, achieving a high degree of automation, significantly improving production efficiency, and saving manpower.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements within the spirit of the present utility model are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
