Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mobile phone case printing equipment, specifically relating to a clamping structure and a mobile phone case printer. Background Technology

[0002] A phone case, also known as a mobile phone protective case, is a product used to protect and decorate a mobile phone. Phone cases are usually made of materials such as metal, plastic, and silicone. Their main functions include protecting the phone from bumps and drops, extending the phone's lifespan, and also decorating the phone to meet personalized needs. During the manufacturing process, phone cases can be processed using laser printing, allowing for DIY customization using images provided by the customer.

[0003] Currently, when printing on phone cases, a clamping structure is needed to hold and fix the phone case before printing the pattern on the surface. Existing phone case clamping structures usually use limiting strips to limit the phone case. However, in actual use, due to the variety of phone case models, the phone case is easily displaced during the printing process due to equipment vibration or accidental human touch. This positioning deviation affects the printing effect and causes waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, the first objective of this utility model is to propose a clamping structure, and the technical problem to be solved is: how to ensure the stable clamping of the mobile phone case.

[0005] This utility model solves the above problems through the following technical means:

[0006] A clamping structure, comprising:

[0007] A support plate, wherein a first stop block and a second stop block are respectively provided on the adjacent first and second sides of the support plate;

[0008] A first clamping assembly is mounted on the support plate. The first clamping assembly includes a first driving member and a first clamping block. The first driving member is used to drive the first clamping block to move along the upper surface of the support plate toward or away from the first stop.

[0009] The second clamping assembly is mounted on the support plate. The second clamping assembly includes a second driving member and a second clamping block. The second driving member is used to drive the second clamping block to move along the upper surface of the support plate toward or away from the second stop.

[0010] In one of the clamping structures described above, a first groove is provided on the bearing plate along a first direction, and the first clamping block includes a first sliding part and a first clamping part that are connected to each other. The first sliding part is slidably connected in the first groove, and the first driving member is drivenly connected to the first sliding part to drive the first clamping part to move toward or away from the first stop.

[0011] In one of the clamping structures described above, a second sliding groove is provided on the bearing plate along the second direction. The second clamping block includes a second sliding part and a second clamping part that are connected to each other. The second sliding part is slidably connected in the second sliding groove. The second driving member is drivenly connected to the second sliding part to drive the second clamping part to move toward or away from the second stop.

[0012] In one of the clamping structures described above, the first driving member includes a first driving motor, a first lead screw, and a first sliding seat. The first driving motor is mounted on the bottom side of the support plate. One end of the first lead screw is connected to the output end of the first driving motor. The first sliding seat is mounted on the first lead screw. The first sliding part is fixedly connected to the first sliding seat through a first connecting block. The first clamping part is driven to move toward or away from the first stop block by the first lead screw.

[0013] In one of the clamping structures described above, the second driving component includes a second driving motor, a second lead screw, and a second sliding seat. The second driving motor is mounted on the bottom side of the support plate. One end of the second lead screw is connected to the output end of the second driving motor. The second sliding seat is mounted on the second lead screw. The second sliding part is fixedly connected to the second sliding seat through a second connecting block. The second lead screw drives the second clamping part to move toward or away from the second stop.

[0014] In one of the clamping structures described above, the first clamping assembly further includes a first limiting member, which includes a first limiting photoelectric sensor and a first sensing plate. The first limiting photoelectric sensor is installed on the bottom side of the bearing plate, and the first sensing plate is installed on the first connecting block. When the first sensing plate blocks the first limiting photoelectric sensor, the first drive motor stops driving the first clamping part to move away from the first stop block.

[0015] In one of the clamping structures described above, the second clamping assembly further includes a second limiting member, which includes a second limiting photoelectric sensor and a second sensing plate. The second limiting photoelectric sensor is installed on the bottom side of the bearing plate, and the second sensing plate is installed on the second connecting block. When the second sensing plate blocks the second limiting photoelectric sensor, the second drive motor stops driving the second clamping part to move away from the second stop block.

[0016] In one of the clamping structures described above, a detection photoelectric sensor is provided on the upper side of the support plate. When the detection photoelectric sensor detects that a mobile phone case is placed on the support plate, the first driving member drives the first clamping block to move along the upper surface of the support plate toward the first stop, and the second driving member drives the second clamping block to move along the upper surface of the support plate toward the second stop.

[0017] In one of the clamping structures described above, the clamping structure further includes a mounting plate located below the bearing plate, and the mounting plate and the bearing plate are fixedly connected by a plurality of support columns.

[0022] 2. The mobile phone case printer of this utility model uses a clamping structure to hold the mobile phone case, preventing the mobile phone case from shifting during the printing process, thereby ensuring the printing effect of the mobile phone case printer on the mobile phone case and avoiding printing deviations that would cause waste.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this clamping structure includes a support plate 1, a first clamping assembly 2, and a second clamping assembly 3. The support plate 1 has a first stop 11 and a second stop 12 respectively disposed on its adjacent first side 16 and second side 17. The first clamping assembly 2 is mounted on the support plate 1 and includes a first driving member 21 and a first clamping block 22. The first driving member 21 drives the first clamping block 22 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 toward or away from the first stop 11. The second clamping assembly 3 is mounted on the support plate 1 and includes a second driving member 31 and a second clamping block 32. The second driving member 31 drives the second clamping block 32 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 toward or away from the second stop 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first side 16 and the second side 17 adjacent to the support plate 1 are respectively provided with a first stop 11 and a second stop 12. The first clamping assembly 2 includes a first driving member 21 and a first clamping block 22, and the second clamping assembly 3 includes a second driving member 31 and a second clamping block 32. It can be understood that the first clamping block 22 is arranged opposite to the first stop 11, and the second clamping block 32 is arranged opposite to the second stop 12. The first stop 11, the second stop 12, the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 32 together form a receiving space for accommodating the mobile phone case 5. When it is necessary to clamp the mobile phone case 5, the mobile phone case 5 is placed in the receiving space jointly enclosed by the first stop 11, the second stop 12, the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 32. The adjacent two sides of the mobile phone case 5 are respectively aligned with the first stop 11 and the second stop 12, that is, the first stop 11 and the second stop 12 position the mobile phone case 5. The first driving component 21 can drive the first clamping block 22 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 toward or away from the first stop block 11, and the second driving component 31 can drive the second clamping block 32 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 toward or away from the second stop block 12. To clamp the phone case 5, the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 32 move toward the first stop block 11 and the second stop block 12 respectively, thereby clamping the left and right sides of the phone case 5 with the first clamping block 22 and the first stop block 11, and clamping the upper and lower sides of the phone case 5 with the second clamping block 32 and the second stop block 12. This clamps and fixes all four sides of the phone case 5, ensuring stable clamping and effectively preventing the phone case 5 from shifting during printing, thus guaranteeing the printing effect. For different models of phone cases 5, only the moving distance of the first clamping block 22 and the second clamping block 32 needs to be adjusted, greatly improving the applicability of the clamping structure. After printing the phone case 5, the first driving component 21 drives the first clamping block 22 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 away from the first stop 11, and the second driving component 31 drives the second clamping block 32 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 away from the second stop 12, so that the printed phone case 5 can be removed, which is simple and convenient. As one embodiment, there are two first stops 11 and one second stop 12. The first stop 11 corresponds to the long side of the phone case 5, and the second stop 12 corresponds to the short side of the phone case 5, thus ensuring that the phone case 5 is firmly clamped.

[0040] like Figure 1 , 6As shown in Figure 7, the support plate 1 has a first sliding groove 13 along a first direction. The first clamping block 22 includes a first sliding part 221 and a first clamping part 222 connected to each other. The first sliding part 221 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 13. The first driving member 21 is drivenly connected to the first sliding part 221 to drive the first clamping part 222 to move toward or away from the first stop 11. The support plate 1 has a second sliding groove 14 along a second direction. The second clamping block 32 includes a second sliding part 321 and a second clamping part 322 connected to each other. The second sliding part 321 is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 14. The second driving member 31 is drivenly connected to the second sliding part 321 to drive the second clamping part 322 to move toward or away from the second stop 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the first direction is the width direction of the support plate 1, and the second direction is the length direction of the support plate 1. The first sliding part 221 is slidably connected to the first groove 13 of the support plate 1. The first driving member 21 drives the first clamping part 222 to move toward or away from the first stop 11. When it is necessary to clamp the phone case 5, the first driving member 21 drives the first clamping part 222 to move toward the first stop 11, thereby clamping and fixing the left and right sides of the phone case 5 to prevent the phone case 5 from shifting left and right. The second sliding part 321 is slidably connected to the second groove 14 of the support plate 1. The second driving member 31 drives the second clamping part 322 to move toward or away from the second stop 12. The second driving member 31 drives the second clamping part 322 to move toward the second stop 12, thereby clamping and fixing the upper and lower sides of the phone case 5 to prevent the phone case 5 from shifting up and down.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figure 5, the first driving component 21 includes a first driving motor 211, a first lead screw 212, and a first sliding seat 213. The first driving motor 211 is mounted on the bottom side of the support plate 1. One end of the first lead screw 212 is connected to the output end of the first driving motor 211. The first sliding seat 213 is mounted on the first lead screw 212. The first sliding part 221 is fixedly connected to the first sliding seat 213 through the first connecting block 214. The first clamping part 222 is driven to move toward or away from the first stop block 11 by the first lead screw 212. The second driving component 31 includes a second driving motor 311, a second lead screw 312, and a second sliding seat 313. The second driving motor 311 is mounted on the bottom side of the support plate 1. One end of the second lead screw 312 is connected to the output end of the second driving motor 311. The second sliding seat 313 is mounted on the second lead screw 312. The second sliding part 321 is fixedly connected to the second sliding seat 313 through the second connecting block 314. The second lead screw 312 drives the second clamping part 322 to move toward or away from the second stop block 12.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first sliding seat 213 is mounted on the first lead screw 212. The first sliding seat 213 is provided with an internal thread that is compatible with the first lead screw 212. The rotation of the first lead screw 212 drives the first sliding seat 213 to move linearly. The first sliding part 221 is fixedly connected to the first sliding seat 213 through the first connecting block 214. When it is necessary to clamp the mobile phone case 5, the rotation of the first lead screw 212 drives the first sliding seat 213 to move toward the first stop 11, which in turn drives the first clamping part 222 to move toward the first stop 11, thereby clamping the left and right sides of the mobile phone case 5. The second sliding seat 313 is mounted on the second lead screw 312. The second sliding seat 313 is provided with an internal thread that matches the second lead screw 312. The rotation of the second lead screw 312 drives the second sliding seat 313 to move linearly. The second sliding part 321 is fixedly connected to the second sliding seat 313 through the second connecting block 314. The rotation of the second lead screw 312 drives the second sliding seat 313 to move toward the second stop 12, which in turn drives the second clamping part 322 to move toward the second stop 12, thereby clamping the upper and lower sides of the mobile phone case 5.

[0044] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 5, the first clamping assembly 2 further includes a first limiting member 23, which includes a first limiting photoelectric sensor 231 and a first sensing plate 232. The first limiting photoelectric sensor 231 is installed on the bottom side of the support plate 1, and the first sensing plate 232 is installed on the first connecting block 214. When the first sensing plate 232 blocks the first limiting photoelectric sensor 231, the first drive motor 211 stops driving the first clamping part 222 to move away from the first stop block 11. The second clamping assembly 3 further includes a second limiting member 33, which includes a second limiting photoelectric sensor 331 and a second sensing plate 332. The second limiting photoelectric sensor 331 is installed on the bottom side of the support plate 1, and the second sensing plate 332 is installed on the second connecting block 314. When the second sensing plate 332 blocks the second limiting photoelectric sensor 331, the second drive motor 311 stops driving the second clamping part 322 to move away from the second stop block 12.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 23 can limit the first clamping component 2. Specifically, the first limiting photoelectric eye 231 is installed on the bottom side of the support plate 1 and located on one side of the first slide groove 13. The first sensing plate 232 is installed on the first connecting block 214. When the phone case 5 is printed and taken out, the first drive motor 211 needs to drive the first clamping part 222 to move away from the first stop block 11. The first sensing plate 232 moves away from the first stop block 11 along with the first clamping part 222. When the first sensing plate 232 blocks the light of the first photoelectric eye, the first drive motor 211 stops driving, thus limiting the first clamping part 222. The second limiting photoelectric sensor 331 is installed on the bottom side of the support plate 1 and located on one side of the second slide groove 14. The second sensing plate 332 is installed on the second connecting block 314. The second drive motor 311 drives the second clamping part 322 to move away from the second stop block 12. The second sensing plate 332 follows the second clamping part 322 to move away from the first stop block 11. When the second sensing plate 332 blocks the light from the second photoelectric sensor, the second drive motor 311 stops driving, thereby limiting the second clamping part 322.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a detection photoelectric eye 15 is provided on the upper side of the support plate 1. When the detection photoelectric eye 15 detects that a mobile phone case 5 is placed on the support plate 1, the first driving member 21 drives the first clamping block 22 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 toward the first stop block 11, and the second driving member 31 drives the second clamping block 32 to move along the upper surface of the support plate 1 toward the second stop block 12.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, the clamping structure also includes a mounting plate 4, which is located below the bearing plate 1. The mounting plate 4 and the bearing plate 1 are fixedly connected by a plurality of support columns 41.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 4 is located below the support plate 1. The mounting plate 4 and the support plate 1 are fixedly connected by several support columns 41. Specifically, the mounting plate 4 and the support plate 1 are fixed together by four support columns 41, forming a placement space between the mounting plate 4 and the support plate 1. The first drive motor 211 and the second drive motor 311 are located in the placement space between the mounting plate 4 and the support plate 1 to facilitate the installation of the first drive motor 211 and the second drive motor 311. Furthermore, the clamping structure can be installed onto the mobile phone case 5 printer device through the mounting plate 4 to facilitate the printing of the mobile phone case 5.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a mobile phone case printer, including the clamping structure of Embodiment 1, on which the mobile phone case 5 is clamped.

[0051] In this embodiment, the clamping structure of Embodiment 1 is used to clamp the left and right sides of the phone case 5 with the first clamping block 22 and the first stop block 11, and the second clamping block 32 and the second stop block 12 clamp the upper and lower sides of the phone case 5. All four sides of the phone case 5 are clamped and fixed, which effectively prevents the phone case 5 from shifting during the printing process, thereby ensuring the printing effect of the phone case printer on the phone case 5 and avoiding printing deviations that could lead to waste.
