[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6In this utility model: a clamping mechanism for processing carbon fiber mouse shells includes a base plate 1, with two movable boxes 2 slidably connected to the top of the base plate 1. A driving mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the base plate 1 to drive the two movable boxes 2 to move towards each other. Each movable box 2 is provided with an adsorption mechanism 4. The adsorption mechanism 4 includes an air suction pipe 401, the bottom end of which is connected to the movable box 2. A solenoid valve 402 and an air pump 403 are installed on the air suction pipe 401. Equally spaced... The adjustment tube 404 has one end connected to the movable box 2, and the other end of the adjustment tube 404 is fitted with a universal ball 405 that is movably connected to it. A suction tube 406 is inserted through the universal ball 405 and fixedly connected to it. A suction cup 407 is installed at the end of the suction tube 406 away from the adjustment tube 404. A locking mechanism 408 is provided on the top of the movable box 2. The locking mechanism 408 includes a fixed box 41, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the movable box 2, and a suction cup 407 inserted through the top of the fixed box 41. An electric push rod 42 is fixedly connected to it. A pressure plate 43 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 42. A groove 44 is opened on the top of the movable box 2. The outer side of the pressure plate 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 44. The bottom of the pressure plate 43 is in contact with the adjusting tube 404. The drive mechanism 3 includes a horizontal groove 301, which is opened on the base plate 1. A square plate 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the horizontal groove 301. A lead screw 303 is inserted through the square plate 302 and rotatably connected to it. Both ends of the lead screw 303 are connected to... The inner wall of the transverse groove 301 is rotatably connected, and the right end of the lead screw 303 passes through and extends to the right side of the base plate 1. Two drive blocks 304 are sleeved on the lead screw 303 and threadedly connected thereto. The inner walls of the two drive blocks 304 are rotatably connected to screws 305. The top ends of the two screws 305 pass through and extend to the top of the two drive blocks 304 respectively. Lifting blocks 306 are sleeved on the two screws 305 and threadedly connected thereto. The opposite sides of the two lifting blocks 306 are fixedly connected to the two movable boxes 2 respectively.

[0030] In this invention, when clamping the carbon fiber mouse shell during processing, the carbon fiber mouse shell is first placed centered between two moving boxes 2. Then, the user rotates the lead screw 303. After the lead screw 303 rotates, it drives two driving blocks 304 to move towards each other along the inner wall of the transverse groove 301. During this process, the two moving boxes 2 move towards each other. The protruding surface of the carbon fiber mouse shell first contacts the suction cup 407 at the corresponding position. As the moving box 2 moves, the suction cup 407 that first contacts the protruding surface of the carbon fiber mouse shell will drive the adjusting tube 404 to insert into the interior of the moving box 2. Then, the remaining suction cups 407 will contact the surface of the carbon fiber mouse shell in sequence until all the suction cups 407 are in contact with the carbon fiber mouse shell. At this time, the position of the suction cups 407 will be adapted to the shape of the carbon fiber mouse shell. The omnidirectional ball 405 allows for fine-tuning of the angle of the suction cup 407, enabling it to better adhere to the surface of the carbon fiber mouse shell and improve subsequent adsorption. Next, the user activates the electric push rod 42, which lowers the pressure plate 43, causing it to press against the top of the adjustment tube 404, thus locking the position of the adjustment tube 404. The user then activates the air pump 403, which extracts air from the moving box 2. Air from the suction cup 407 is drawn into the moving box 2 through the suction tube 406 and the adjustment tube 404, generating suction in the suction cup 407. After closing the solenoid valve 402, the suction cup 407 adsorbs the carbon fiber mouse shell, thus securing and fixing it.

[0031] When clamping a tall carbon fiber mouse shell, rotating the screw 305 can drive the lifting block 306 to rise or fall, thereby controlling the height of the moving box 2 and adjusting the height of the suction cup 407, so that it can be used for carbon fiber mouse shells of different heights.

[0032] Please see Figure 6 Among them, the universal ball 405 is fitted with a sealing ring 5 that is movably connected to it, and the outer side of the sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the adjusting tube 404.

[0033] In this utility model, the sealing ring 5 fitted on the universal ball 405 can firstly seal the universal ball 405 and the adjusting tube 404. Secondly, the sealing ring 5 can give the universal ball 405 a certain damping. After clamping a carbon fiber mouse shell, the angle of the suction cup 407 will be maintained due to the damping provided by the sealing ring 5 on the universal ball 405, which makes it convenient to clamp carbon fiber mouse shells of the same batch.

[0034] Please see Figure 6 The regulating tube 404 is fitted with a sealing ring 6 that is slidably connected to it, and the outer side of the sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the movable box 2.

[0035] In this invention, the sealing ring 6 can improve the sealing effect between the regulating tube 404 and the movable box 2, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , 2 3 and 5, wherein: a pressure sensor 7 is installed on the inner wall of the movable box 2, a controller 8 is installed on the top of the base plate 1, the output end of the pressure sensor 7 is connected to the controller 8, and the output end of the controller 8 is connected to the air pump 403 and the solenoid valve 402 respectively.

[0037] In this invention, the air pressure sensor 7 can monitor the air pressure inside the moving box 2, thereby monitoring the suction pressure of the suction cup 407. When the value monitored by the air pressure sensor 7 reaches the air pressure set by the suction cup 407, the air pressure sensor 7 will send a signal to the controller 8. The controller 8 will automatically shut down the air pump 403 and the solenoid valve 402, thereby controlling the air pressure of the suction cup 407 and preventing the carbon fiber mouse shell from being damaged due to excessive air pressure, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model; however, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
