Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping technology, and in particular to a steering gear clamp. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of a mobile steering system, the installation accuracy of the steering gear directly affects steering safety and handling stability. Currently, a common method for installing steering gears is to use a crane and slings. In practice, the installation process involves suspending the steering gear via a nylon sling through the crane hook, manually securing the steering gear, and then moving it to the installation position. The steering gear is then adjusted to the appropriate installation angle before installation. However, this method has several problems in practical use: First, the steering gear is heavy, and during transport via slings, the shift in the center of gravity can cause swaying, leading to a risk of the slings slipping and posing a significant safety hazard. Second, the flexible slings cannot achieve six-degree-of-freedom spatial positioning of the steering gear, making it difficult to adjust the installation angle, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, severely reducing installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] A steering gear clamp includes a hanger, a support rod, a fixed gripper, and a movable gripper. The hanger is equipped with a first drive assembly connected to the support rod, which drives the support rod to rotate relative to the hanger. A slide rail is provided on one side of the support rod, and a slider is disposed on the slide rail. The movable gripper is connected to the slider, and the fixed gripper is disposed on the other side of the support rod. The slider moves along the slide rail to adjust the distance between the movable gripper and the fixed gripper.
[0006] Furthermore, the hanger is L-shaped and includes a first connecting section arranged horizontally and a second connecting section arranged vertically. The first connecting section is located above the fixed gripper and the movable gripper, and a lifting assembly is provided on the first connecting section.
[0007] Furthermore, the hoisting assembly is located above the fixed gripper and the movable gripper.

[0021] This utility model discloses a steering gear clamp. The following describes one embodiment of this utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a steering gear clamp includes a hanger, a support rod 9, a fixed gripper 17, and a movable gripper 15. The hanger is L-shaped and includes a first connecting section 1 arranged laterally and a second connecting section 2 arranged vertically, which are fixedly connected. A lifting assembly is provided at the top of the front end of the first connecting section 1. The lifting assembly includes a connecting plate 3 and a lifting ring 4. The connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the first connecting section 1. A snap-fit groove is provided on the connecting plate, and the upper edge of the snap-fit groove has several wavy snap-fit parts. The lifting ring 4 is disposed on the snap-fit groove. The bottom of the lifting ring 4 is adapted to engage with the snap-fit parts for adjusting the center of gravity of the overall structure.
[0023] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support rod 9 is located at the front of the bottom of the second connecting section 2, and a first drive assembly is provided at the rear of the bottom of the second connecting section 2. The first drive assembly includes a pneumatic motor 7 and a first reducer 8. The pneumatic motor 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the first reducer 8. The first reducer 8 is fixedly connected to the rear of the second connecting section 2, and its output shaft passes through the second connecting section 2 to connect with the support rod 9. Driven by the pneumatic motor 7, the support rod 9 is rotated relative to the hanger. A U-shaped control rod 5 is fixedly connected to the rear of the upper part of the second connecting section 2. A guard plate is fixedly connected to the end of the control rod 5, forming a handle between the guard plate and the control rod 5. The worker moves the rod by holding the handle, and a wireless remote control 6 is fixedly connected inside the handle on the left side.
[0024] A support arm 16 is fixedly connected to the front left side of the support rod 9, and a fixed gripper 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support arm 16. A slide rail 11 is fixedly connected to the front right side of the support rod 9, and a slider 12 is mounted on the slide rail 11. A movable gripper 15 is located to the left of the slider 12, and a second drive assembly is located to the right of the slider 12. The second drive assembly includes a handwheel 13 and a second reducer 14. The handwheel 13 is located on top of the second reducer 14 and is rotatably connected to the second reducer 14. The output shaft of the second reducer 14 passes through the slider 12 and is connected to the movable gripper 15. The movable gripper 15 is rotated relative to the slider 12 by manually turning the handwheel 13. A clamping cylinder 10 is located at the top of the support rod 9. The end of the cylinder barrel in the clamping cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the support rod 9, and the end of the piston rod in the clamping cylinder 10 is hinged to the slider 12. The clamping cylinder 10 extends and retracts to move the slider 12 along the slide rail 11, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixed gripper 17 and the movable gripper 15. The movable gripper 15 includes a rotating disk, and a first guard plate and a second guard plate protrude vertically from the edge of one side surface of the rotating disk, with a gap between the first guard plate and the second guard plate.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, in use, the trolley is first connected to the lifting ring 4 to lift the steering gear clamp. Then, the operator controls the movement of the trolley via the wireless remote control 6, thereby moving the steering gear clamp. The operator holds the handle to prevent the steering gear clamp from wobbling during movement. When clamping the steering gear 18, the operator first controls the trolley via the wireless remote control 6 to lower the steering gear clamp, and holds the handle to adjust the direction, so that the fixed jaw 17, movable jaw 15, and both ends of the steering gear 18 are aligned. The operator activates the clamping cylinder 10 via the control button, causing the clamping cylinder 10 to retract and drive the slider 12 to move along the slide rail 11, so that the movable jaw 15 gradually approaches the steering gear 18, and then the movable jaw 15 cooperates with the fixed jaw 17 to clamp the steering gear 18. Then, the operator controls the trolley again via the wireless remote control 6 to lift the steering gear clamp as a whole and moves it by holding the handle. After the worker moves the steering gear 18 to the installation position, when the angle needs to be adjusted, the worker starts the pneumatic motor 7 by pressing a button. The pneumatic motor 7 drives the support rod 9 to rotate through the first reducer 8, thereby causing the steering gear 18 to rotate relative to the hanger, which is used to adjust the pitch angle of the steering gear 18. The worker can also make fine adjustments by turning the handwheel 13. The handwheel 13 adjusts the movable gripper 15 to rotate through the second reducer 14, thereby causing the steering gear 18 to rotate, which is used to adjust the flip angle of the steering gear 18, and then align the bolt holes on the steering gear 18 with the bolt holes on the installation position for easy installation.
[0026] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
