Technical Field
[0001] This solution belongs to the technical field of thermostat housing clamping fixtures, specifically involving a thermostat housing clamping fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Utility model patent CN219113948U discloses a housing clamping fixture, including a worktable, a lower cylinder, a support fixed to the lower cylinder, a bracket, a horizontal slide slidably connected to the bracket, and a horizontal drive cylinder for driving the horizontal slide to move horizontally. The horizontal slide has a lifting slide slidably connected to it, and a lifting drive cylinder for driving the lifting slide to move up and down. The lifting slide is equipped with pneumatic grippers. The support includes a base plate fixed to the piston rod of the lower cylinder and a positioning support. This utility model has the following advantages and effects: This utility model clamps the housing through the gripper of the pneumatic gripper, adjusts the horizontal position of the housing through the horizontal drive cylinder, and adjusts the vertical position of the housing through the lifting drive cylinder, thereby achieving the effect of clamping and transferring the housing.
[0003] However, the device has certain shortcomings in use. It is not convenient to adjust the protective clamping of shells with different aspect ratios and sizes. Excessive force on the shell can cause deformation of the shell wall. At the same time, the shell shape is irregular, and it cannot adaptively and stably clamp the shell during the clamping process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this solution is to provide a clamping fixture for a thermostat housing, in order to solve the problems that the device is not easy to adjust for protective clamping of housings with different aspect ratios and sizes, that excessive force on the housing will cause deformation of the housing wall, and that the irregular shape of the housing makes it impossible to adaptively and stably clamp the housing during the clamping process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this solution provides a thermostat housing clamping fixture, including a base, a slide rod slidably connected inside the base, a clamping mechanism provided on the slide rod, a motor fixedly mounted on the surface of the base, a screw fixedly connected to the lower end of the motor shaft, a slide plate movably connected to the outside of the screw, and an adjustment mechanism provided on the slide plate.
[0006] The principle of this solution is as follows: During use, the screw is manually rotated according to the length-to-width ratio adjustment device of the housing. The rotation of the screw and the slider make a threaded motion, which in turn allows the slider to drive the connecting rod to move, thereby changing the position of the clamping mechanism. The housing is placed on the base, and the motor is started. The motor drives the screw to rotate, and the rotation of the screw and the screw ring make a threaded motion, which in turn moves the screw ring. The screw ring moves down and compresses the spring. The spring elastically compresses the slide plate, and the slide plate moves down, which drives the guide seat to move. The guide seat drives the slider to move, the slider drives the connecting rod to move, the connecting rod drives the slide bar to move, and the slide bar drives the slide block to move, so that the clamping block moves and contacts the surface of the housing. This allows the device to provide protective clamping for housings with different length-to-width ratios and sizes. While limiting the housing, it avoids excessive clamping force that could cause the housing wall to be squeezed and deformed. Through the torsion of the torsion spring, the clamping block can rotate within the slide block, so that the surface of the clamping block can adaptively fit the surface of the housing, making the housing clamped more stably.
[0007] The technical advantage of this solution is that the torsion spring allows the clamping block to rotate within the slide, thereby enabling the surface of the clamping block to adapt to and fit against the surface of the housing, making the housing more stably clamped.
[0008] By rotating the lead screw and slider to make a threaded motion, the slider can drive the connecting rod to move, thereby changing the position of the clamping mechanism. Furthermore, by driving the screw to rotate and the screw ring to make a threaded motion, the spring elastically compresses the slide plate, causing multiple clamping mechanisms to move. This allows the device to protectively clamp shells with different aspect ratios and sizes, limiting the shell while preventing excessive clamping force from causing the shell wall to be squeezed and deformed.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a slide block, with the upper end of the slide rod fixedly connected to the slide block. A clamping block is rotatably connected inside the slide block, and a support shaft is fixedly connected inside the slide block. A torsion spring is provided on the outer side of the support shaft. Through the torsion force of the torsion spring, the clamping block can rotate within the slide block, thereby allowing the surface of the clamping block to adaptively conform to the surface of the housing, making the housing clamped more stably.
[0010] Furthermore, a protrusion is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slide, and the protrusion is slidably connected to the base. By providing the protrusion, the friction between the slide and the base is reduced.
[0011] Furthermore, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the clamping block, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the slide block. By setting the torsion spring, the clamping block can be easily reset.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a screw ring, and the screw ring is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw. A spring is provided on the outer side of the screw. A guide seat is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide plate. A slider is slidably connected inside the guide seat. A lead screw is installed inside the guide seat via a bearing. The lead screw and the slider are threadedly connected. A connecting rod is hinged to the upper end of the slider, and the connecting rod and the slide rod are hinged. By rotating the lead screw and the slider to make threaded movements, the slider can drive the connecting rod to move, thereby changing the position of the clamping mechanism. Furthermore, by driving the screw to rotate and the screw ring to make threaded movements through the motor, the spring elastically compresses the slide plate, causing multiple clamping mechanisms to move. This allows the device to protectively clamp shells with different aspect ratios and sizes, limiting the shell while preventing excessive clamping force from causing deformation of the shell wall.
[0013] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to a threaded ring, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to a sliding plate. By setting the spring, the sliding plate is elastically pressed down.
[0014] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the screw ring. By setting the guide rod, relative rotation between the screw ring and the slide is prevented. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The implementation examples are basically as follows Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a thermostat housing clamping fixture, including a base 1, a slide rod 2 slidably connected inside the base 1, a clamping mechanism 3 provided on the slide rod 2, a motor 4 fixedly mounted on the surface of the base 1, a screw 5 fixedly connected to the lower end of the shaft of the motor 4, a slide plate 6 movably connected to the outside of the screw 5, and an adjustment mechanism 7 provided on the slide plate 6.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a slide block 31. The upper end of the slide rod 2 is fixedly connected to the slide block 31, and the lower end of the slide block 31 is fixedly connected to a protrusion 32. The protrusion 32 and the base 1 are slidably connected. By setting the protrusion 32, the friction between the slide block 31 and the base 1 is reduced. A clamping block 33 is rotatably connected inside the slide block 31. A support shaft 34 is fixedly connected inside the slide block 31. A torsion spring 35 is set on the outside of the support shaft 34. One end of the torsion spring 35 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 33, and the other end of the torsion spring 35 is fixedly connected to the slide block 31. By setting the torsion spring 35, the clamping block 33 is easy to reset. Through the torsion of the torsion spring 35, the clamping block 33 can rotate inside the slide block 31, so that the surface of the clamping block 33 can adaptively fit with the surface of the shell, making the shell clamped more stably.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting mechanism 7 includes a screw ring 71. The screw ring 71 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw 5. A spring 72 is provided on the outer side of the screw 5. One end of the spring 72 is fixedly connected to the screw ring 71, and the other end of the spring 72 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 6. By setting the spring 72, the slide plate 6 is elastically pressed down. A guide rod 73 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide plate 6. The guide rod 73 is slidably connected to the screw ring 71. By setting the guide rod 73, relative rotation between the screw ring 71 and the slide plate 6 is prevented. A guide seat 74 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide plate 6. A slider 75 is slidably connected inside the guide seat 74. A lead screw is installed inside the guide seat 74 through a bearing. 76. The lead screw 76 and the slider 75 are connected by threads. The upper end of the slider 75 is hinged to the connecting rod 77, which is hinged to the slide rod 2. By rotating the lead screw 76 and the slider 75 to make threaded movements, the slider 75 can drive the connecting rod 77 to move, thereby changing the position of the clamping mechanism 3. The motor 4 drives the screw 5 to rotate and the screw ring 71 to make threaded movements, thereby causing the spring 72 to elastically compress the slide plate 6, causing multiple clamping mechanisms 3 to move. This allows the device to protectively clamp shells with different aspect ratios and sizes, limiting the shell while preventing excessive clamping force from causing the shell wall to be squeezed and deformed.
[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, according to the length-to-width ratio adjustment device of the housing, the lead screw 76 is manually rotated. The rotation of the lead screw 76 and the sliding block 75 make threaded movements, which in turn allows the sliding block 75 to drive the connecting rod 77 to move, thereby changing the position of the clamping mechanism 3. The housing is placed on the base 1, and the motor 4 is started. The motor 4 drives the screw 5 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 5 and the screw ring 71 make threaded movements, which in turn causes the screw ring 71 to move. The screw ring 71 moves downward and compresses the spring 72. The spring 72 elastically compresses the slide plate 6, and the slide plate 6 moves downward, which drives the guide seat 74 to move. The guide seat 74 drives the slider 75 to move, the slider 75 drives the connecting rod 77 to move, the connecting rod 77 drives the slide bar 2 to move, and the slide bar 2 drives the slide block 31 to move, so that the clamping block 33 moves and contacts the shell surface. This allows the device to protect the shells with different aspect ratios and sizes. While limiting the shell, it avoids excessive clamping force that could cause the shell wall to be squeezed and deformed. Through the torsion of the torsion spring 35, the clamping block 33 can rotate within the slide block 31, so that the surface of the clamping block 33 can adaptively fit with the shell surface, making the shell clamped more stably.
[0025] The torsion of the torsion spring 35 allows the clamping block 33 to rotate within the slide block 31, thereby enabling the surface of the clamping block 33 to adapt to and fit against the surface of the housing, making the housing more stably clamped.
[0026] By rotating the lead screw 76 and the slider 75 to make threaded motion, the slider 75 can drive the connecting rod 77 to move, thereby changing the position of the clamping mechanism 3. The motor 4 drives the screw 5 to rotate and the screw ring 71 to make threaded motion, thereby causing the spring 72 to elastically compress the slide plate 6, causing multiple clamping mechanisms 3 to move. This allows the device to protectively clamp shells with different aspect ratios and sizes, limiting the shells while preventing excessive clamping force from causing the shell walls to be squeezed and deformed.
