[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam carving technology, and in particular to an adjustable clamping platform for a foam carving machine. Background Technology
[0002] Foam carving is an art form that uses foam materials (such as polystyrene foam, foam board, etc.) for carving. It is commonly used to make models, displays, props, decorations, etc., and is widely used in advertising, exhibitions, film and television prop production, interior design and other fields. Foam carving machines, as a high-efficiency and precision processing equipment, are widely used in advertising production, architectural models, art sculptures, packaging molds and other fields.
[0003] In the foam engraving process, stable clamping of the workpiece is one of the key factors to ensure processing accuracy and surface quality. However, the clamping platform of traditional foam engraving machines usually adopts fixed clamps or vacuum adsorption, which is difficult to adapt to workpieces of different sizes or thicknesses. To address this issue, we propose an adjustable clamping platform for foam engraving machines. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable clamping platform for a foam engraving machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An adjustable clamping platform for a foam carving machine includes a support shell, a platform shell fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support shell, two clamping frames above the platform shell, an adjustment mechanism inside the platform shell, the adjustment mechanism penetrating the platform shell and connected to the outer surface of the clamping frames, a pressing component mounted on the outer surface of the clamping frames, and the adjustment mechanism including two adjustment frames mounted inside the platform shell, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the platform shell via bearings, and an electric push rod mounted inside the platform shell. One end of each adjustment frame is connected to the outer surface of the clamping frame, a rack is mounted on the outer surface of each adjustment frame, a gear is mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the sides of the two racks that are close to each other mesh with the outer surface of the gear. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod, and one end of the connecting plate is connected to the outer surface of the adjustment frame.
[0007] In a further embodiment, the inner wall of the platform shell has two grooves, and a slider is slidably connected inside each groove. The sides of the two sliders that are close to each other are connected to one end of the connecting plate.
[0008] In a further embodiment, the pressing assembly includes a cylinder mounted on the outer surface of the clamping frame and two sliding holes formed on the outer surface of the clamping frame. The output end of the cylinder passes through the clamping frame and is fixedly mounted with a pressure plate. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside each of the sliding holes, and the bottom end of each sliding rod is connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate.
[0009] In a further embodiment, a panel is mounted on the outer surface of the support shell by screws, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the panel.
[0010] In a further embodiment, a pressure supply assembly is installed inside the support shell, a cooling fan is installed on the back of the support shell, and ventilation windows are provided on the outer surface of the support shell.
[0011] In a further embodiment, a controller is mounted on the outer surface of the panel, and the controller is electrically connected to the pressure supply assembly, the cooling fan and the electric actuator respectively via wires.
[0012] In a further embodiment, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support shell, and two sets of mounting holes are provided on the upper surface of the mounting base.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This device uses an electric push rod in the adjustment mechanism to drive the connecting plate, which in turn drives the rack and pinion to mesh, causing the two clamping frames to move synchronously and symmetrically. This allows for quick adjustment of the clamping distance to accommodate foam workpieces of different sizes, thus expanding the range of processing applications. The matching design of the slide groove and slider ensures a smooth adjustment process, preventing jamming or deviation and enhancing clamping stability. The pressing component uses a cylinder-driven pressure plate with a guide slide rod, which can achieve uniform pressure according to the thickness of the foam board, avoiding deformation or damage to the foam workpiece caused by excessive local pressure in traditional clamps. The sliding structure of the sliding hole and slide rod ensures that the pressure plate presses down vertically, improving clamping stability. Attached Figure Description

The outer surfaces of gears 303 mesh with each other. The output end of electric push rod 306 is fixedly connected to connecting plate 305. One end of connecting plate 305 is connected to the outer surface of adjusting frame 301. The connecting plate 305 is driven by electric push rod 306 in adjusting mechanism 3, which drives rack 304 to mesh with gear 303, so that the two clamping frames 4 move synchronously and symmetrically. The clamping distance can be quickly adjusted to adapt to foam workpieces of different sizes and improve the processing range. The inner wall of platform shell 2 has two slide grooves 12.
