[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2025100058829, filed on January 2, 2025, entitled “A clamping assembly, adjusting device and clamping method for twisted needles”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of clamping machinery technology, and in particular to a clamping assembly and adjustment device. Background Technology

[0004] In the production of twisted needles, spot welding is required. Due to the extremely small size of the twisted needles, a clamp is needed to assist in clamping them during the welding process to ensure that the welding position is not deviated. Existing clamps generally use left and right clamping parts. The end faces of the left and right clamping parts are horizontally aligned, and the horizontally aligned left and right clamping parts work together to clamp the twisted needle. However, if the left and right clamping parts are not horizontally aligned before clamping the twisted needle, it will cause deviations or even damage to the subsequent welding of the twisted needle.

[0005] After the left and right clamping parts are aligned to clamp the twisted needles and the welding equipment has completed the welding operation on the clamped twisted needles, the left and right clamping parts need to be separated to unload the welded twisted needles. At this time, it cannot be guaranteed that the left and right clamping parts are still in the same horizontal position. Therefore, before clamping the next batch of twisted needles, the left and right clamping parts need to be aligned horizontally again. The process is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly is used to clamp a twisted needle and includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are spaced apart, and the surface of the first clamping member near the second clamping member has at least one first clamping position. The surface of the second clamping member near the first clamping member has at least one second clamping position corresponding to the at least one first clamping position. The first clamping position and the second clamping position are used to cooperate in clamping the twisted needle.

[0007] Wherein, the surface of the first clamping member near the second clamping member is provided with at least one first mating member, and the surface of the second clamping member near the first clamping member is provided with at least one second mating member, and the first mating member and the second mating member are provided correspondingly;

[0008] Specifically, when the first clamping member and the second clamping member cooperate to clamp the twisted needle, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are connected; when the first clamping member and the second clamping member are separated, the first clamping member is at least partially in contact with the second clamping member to maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member and the second clamping member.

[0009] The first mating component includes a protrusion, and the second mating component has a groove. When the first clamping component and the second clamping component are used to clamp the twisted needle, the protrusion is located in the groove.

[0010] When the first clamping member and the second clamping member are separated, at least a portion of the surface of the protrusion abuts against the groove wall to maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member and the second clamping member.

[0011] The first clamping member includes a first fixing block and a first clamping mold, and the second clamping member includes a second fixing block and a second clamping mold.

[0012] The first clamping mold is fixed to the surface of the first fixing block near the second clamping member, and the surface of the first clamping mold near the second clamping member is provided with at least one first clamping position; the second clamping mold is fixed to the surface of the second fixing block near the first clamping member, and the surface of the second clamping mold near the first clamping member is provided with at least one second clamping position.

[0013] The first mating component is disposed on the first fixing block and spaced apart from one end of the first clamping mold, and the second mating component is disposed on the second fixing block and spaced apart from one end of the second clamping mold.

[0014] The clamping assembly further includes an adjustment assembly, which is connected to the first clamping member and the second clamping member and is used to adjust the distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member.

[0015] The clamping assembly further includes an elastic component, one end of which abuts against the first clamping member, and the other end of which abuts against the second clamping member;

[0016] When the adjusting component increases the distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member, the elastic component provides a force for separating the first clamping member and the second clamping member.

[0017] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application also provides an adjustment device, which includes the clamping assembly, base, and limiting block as described above.

[0018] The first clamping member and the second clamping member are placed at intervals on the base, and the base is used to adjust the first clamping member and the second clamping member to be at the same horizontal height; the limiting block is disposed on the surface of the base and is used to fix the first clamping member and the second clamping member.

[0019] The limiting block has an L-shaped cross-section along the height direction perpendicular to the base.

[0020] The base has a protrusion on its first surface, which corresponds to the first clamping position of the first clamping member and the second clamping position of the second clamping member. During the process of placing multiple twisted needles on the adjusted clamping assembly, one end of each twisted needle contacts the protrusion so that the relative height of each twisted needle on the clamping assembly is equal to that of the clamping assembly. The first surface of the base is the surface on which the first clamping member and the second clamping member are placed.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike the prior art, the clamping assembly of this application is used to clamp twisted needles, including a first clamping member and a second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are spaced apart, and the surface of the first clamping member near the second clamping member has at least one first clamping position, and the surface of the second clamping member near the first clamping member has at least one second clamping position corresponding to the at least one first clamping position. The first clamping position and the second clamping position are used to cooperate in clamping the twisted needle. Furthermore, the surface of the first clamping member near the second clamping member also has at least one first mating member, and the surface of the second clamping member near the first clamping member also has at least one second mating member, with the first mating member and the second mating member correspondingly arranged. By setting a first mating part and a second mating part, the first clamping part and the second clamping part can be placed at the same horizontal height, improving the alignment efficiency of the first clamping part and the second clamping part. The first mating part and the second mating part cooperate to maintain the positional relationship of the first clamping part and the second clamping part, eliminating the need to align the positions of the first clamping part and the second clamping part again, further improving the alignment efficiency of the first clamping part and the second clamping part, reducing the difficulty of aligning the first clamping part and the second clamping part, and improving the user's experience of using the clamping components.

[0027] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures, interfaces, and technologies are presented for illustrative purposes rather than for limiting purposes, in order to provide a thorough understanding of this application.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

Moreover, the term "at least one" in this application means any combination of at least two of any one or more of a plurality of objects. For example, including at least one of A, B, and C can mean including any one or more elements selected from the set consisting of A, B, and C. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" in this application are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a clamping component according to an embodiment of the present application; the clamping component 1 provided in this embodiment is used to clamp twisted needles, including a first clamping member 11 and a second clamping member 12.

[0032] The first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are spaced apart. The first clamping member 11 is provided with at least one first clamping position 111 near the surface of the second clamping member 12. The second clamping member 12 is provided with at least one second clamping position 121 near the surface of the first clamping member 11, which corresponds to at least one first clamping position 111. The size of the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 is set to correspond to the size of the twisted needle. Thus, the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 can cooperate to form the placement position of the twisted needle for clamping the twisted needle.

[0033] The first clamping member 11 has at least one first mating member 112 on its surface near the second clamping member 12, and the second clamping member 12 has at least one second mating member 122 on its surface near the first clamping member 11. The first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 are correspondingly arranged. Furthermore, as the first clamping member 11 moves closer to the second clamping member 12, the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 connect to adjust the relative positions of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12. This ensures that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are at the same horizontal level to clamp the twisted needle. This prevents damage to the twisted needle and reduced welding efficiency when the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are not at the same horizontal level, thereby improving the clamping efficiency of the clamping assembly 1 and the alignment efficiency of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12.

[0034] When the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are engaged to clamp the twisted needle, the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 are connected to ensure that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are at the same horizontal height. Furthermore, when the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are separated to release the twisted needle and to unload the welded twisted needle, the first mating member 112 is at least partially in contact with the second mating member 122. This allows the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 to engage and maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12. This avoids the need to readjust the relative positions of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 after unloading the twisted needle, as is common in the prior art. Users can reload the twisted needle without adjusting the relative positions of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, improving the alignment efficiency of the clamping assembly 1 and its clamping efficiency, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0035] In summary, due to the cooperation of the first mating part 112 and the second mating part 122, the positional relationship between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 can be maintained when the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 are separated. Even if there is a slight difference in the horizontal position between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 due to the connection gap between them, the difference in the horizontal position between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 can still be guaranteed to be within the error range, thereby improving the clamping efficiency of the twisted needle.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first mating member 112 may include a protrusion 113, and the second mating member 122 is provided with a groove 123; when the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are used to clamp the twisted needle, the protrusion 113 is located in the groove 123.

[0037] Specifically, as the first clamping member 11 moves closer to the second mating member 12, the protrusion 113 gradually enters the groove 123. The protrusion 113 and the groove 123 cooperate to position the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 at the same horizontal height. Furthermore, the surface of the protrusion 113 abuts against the groove wall of the groove 123, further maintaining the relative position of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12. When the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 separate and the welded twisted needle is unloaded, due to the certain height of the protrusion 113 and the certain depth of the groove 123, at least a portion of the surface of the protrusion 113 remains in contact with the groove wall of the groove 123 when the first clamping member 112 and the second clamping member 122 separate, thus maintaining the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12.

[0038] Since the protrusion 113 and the groove 123 correspond, the first surface of the protrusion 113 abuts against the first groove wall of the groove 123, and the second surface of the protrusion 113, which is opposite to the first surface, abuts against the second groove wall of the groove 123. For example, the first groove wall provides a downward force to the first surface, the first surface provides an upward force to the first groove wall, the second groove wall provides an upward force to the second surface, and the second surface provides a downward force to the second groove wall. Thus, the protrusion 113 and the groove 123 cooperate and restrict each other to maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12. This allows the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 to be separated, maintaining the same horizontal height during the feeding of the twisted needle. The user does not need to adjust the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 again, improving the alignment efficiency of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, improving the clamping efficiency of the clamping component 1 for the twisted needle, and enhancing the user's experience with the clamping component 1.

[0039] In another embodiment, the first mating member 112 may have a groove 123, while the second mating member 122 may have a protrusion 113. In another embodiment, the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 may also have other mating structures, which are not limited in this application.

[0040] After the twisted needle held on the clamping assembly 1 is welded, the first clamping member 11 will move a small distance relative to the second clamping member 12 to separate the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, release the twisted needle, and then the twisted needle will be released from the clamping assembly 1 under the action of gravity, so as to realize the feeding of the twisted needle. Then the twisted needle can be placed again between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, and the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 can be attached to clamp the twisted needle. During the separation of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 to unload the twisted needle, at least a portion of the surface of the protrusion 113 abuts against the groove wall of the groove 123 to maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12. This prevents the positional relationship of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 from changing when they separate to release the twisted needle, thus avoiding the inability to maintain the same horizontal height. Previously, adjusting the positional relationship of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 was necessary before repositioning the twisted needle, which was cumbersome and inefficient. Improving the alignment efficiency of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 enhances the clamping efficiency of the clamping assembly 1 for the twisted needle, thereby improving the user experience of the clamping assembly 1.

[0041] Optionally, the first clamping member 11 includes a first fixing block 114 and a first clamping mold 115, and the second clamping member 12 includes a second fixing block 124 and a second clamping mold 125. The first clamping mold 115 is fixed to the surface of the first fixing block 114 near the surface of the second clamping member 12, and the surface of the first clamping mold 115 near the surface of the second clamping member 12 has at least one first clamping position 111; the second clamping mold 125 is fixed to the surface of the second fixing block 124 near the surface of the first clamping member 11, and the surface of the second clamping mold 125 near the surface of the first clamping member 11 has at least one second clamping position 121.

[0042] The first clamping mold 115 and the second clamping mold 125 can be made of copper blocks to ensure their strength and prevent deformation during the clamping of the twisted needles, thereby improving the clamping efficiency. The first fixing block 114 and the second fixing block 124 can be made of other lightweight and low-cost materials, thus reducing the weight and manufacturing cost of the first clamping component 11 and the second clamping component 12.

[0043] Furthermore, since the first clamping member 11 includes a first fixing block 114 and a first clamping mold 115, and the second clamping member 12 includes a second fixing block 124 and a second clamping mold 125, it is convenient to repair parts of the structure of the first clamping member 11 and / or the second clamping member 12, avoiding damage to parts of the structure of the first clamping member 11 or the second clamping member 12. Since the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are integrally formed structures, only the first clamping member 11 or the second clamping member 12 can be replaced as a whole, which would result in excessively high maintenance costs. This design reduces the maintenance costs of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12.

[0044] Specifically, the first fixing block 114 can be moved closer to the second fixing block 124, or the second fixing block 124 can be moved closer to the first fixing block 114, or the first fixing block 114 and the second fixing block 124 can move towards each other simultaneously, so as to drive the first clamping mold 115 and the second clamping mold 125 to fit together, so that the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 fit together to clamp the twisted needle.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first mating member 112 is disposed on the first fixing block 114 and spaced apart from one end of the first clamping mold 115, and the second mating member 122 is disposed on the second fixing block 124 and spaced apart from one end of the second clamping mold 125.

[0046] Since the first mating part 112 is spaced apart from one end of the first clamping mold 115, and the second mating part 122 is spaced apart from one end of the second clamping mold 125, when the first clamping member 11 moves closer to the second clamping member 12, the first mating part 112 and the second mating part 122 connect, achieving alignment of the first clamping mold 115 and the second clamping mold 125 in the width direction. That is, the connection of the first mating part 112 and the second mating part 122 not only allows for adjustment of the horizontal position of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, but also achieves alignment of the left and right positions of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, further improving the alignment efficiency of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 and enhancing the practicality of the clamping assembly 1.

[0047] In one embodiment, two first mating parts 112 may be provided on the first clamping member 11, and the two first mating parts 112 are respectively provided at both ends of the first clamping mold 115. Two second mating parts 122 are also provided on the second clamping member 12, and are provided at both ends of the second clamping mold 125. Thus, when the first clamping member 11 moves close to the second clamping member 12, the two first mating parts 112 are respectively connected with the corresponding second mating parts 122 to quickly achieve alignment of the first clamping mold 115 and the second clamping mold 125, thereby improving the clamping efficiency of the clamping assembly 1 for the twisted needle.

[0048] Optionally, the clamping assembly 1 further includes an adjustment assembly 13, which is connected to the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 and is used to adjust the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12.

[0049] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting component 13 can be a bolt to connect the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, so that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are at the same horizontal height. After placing the twisted needle between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, the adjusting component 13 can adjust the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 to make the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 tightly connected. Thus, the first clamping mold 115 and the second clamping mold 125 can fit tightly to clamp the twisted needle, improving the safety of clamping the twisted needle.

[0050] Optionally, the clamping assembly 1 further includes an elastic component 14, one end of which abuts against the first clamping member 11, and the other end of which abuts against the second clamping member 12. When the adjusting assembly 13 adjusts the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, the elastic component 14 is used to separate the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the elastic component 14 can be a spring. Since one end of the elastic component 14 abuts against the first clamping member 11 and the other end abuts against the second clamping member 12, when the adjusting component 13 adjusts the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, there is a force between the first clamping member 11, the second clamping member 12 and the elastic component 14.

[0052] For example, when the adjusting component 13 reduces the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, that is, when a twisted needle is placed between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, and the adjusting component 13 needs to adjust the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 to fit tightly together to clamp the twisted needle, the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 becomes smaller, which will compress the elastic component 14.

[0053] When the adjusting component 13 increases the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, that is, after the twisted needle held on the clamping component 1 is welded, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 need to be separated so that when the twisted needle is unloaded, since the adjusting component 13 increases the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, the elastic component 14 will return to its original length, providing a force to the first clamping member 11 away from the second clamping member 12, and providing a force to the second clamping member 12 away from the first clamping member 11, so as to accelerate the separation speed of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, improve the unloading efficiency of the twisted needle, and enhance the user's experience of using the clamping component 1.

[0054] In summary, the clamping assembly 1 provided in this application includes a first mating member 112 on the first clamping member 11 and a second mating member 122 on the second clamping member 12, thereby improving the alignment efficiency of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12. Furthermore, when the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are separated, the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 can still cooperate to maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, further improving the alignment efficiency of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, increasing the clamping efficiency of the clamping assembly 1 for twisted needles, and enhancing the user experience of the clamping assembly 1.

[0055] This application also provides an adjustment device; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the adjustment device of this application. The adjustment device A includes a clamping assembly 1, a base 2, and a limiting block 3.

[0056] The first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are placed on the base 2 at intervals. The base 2 is used to adjust the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 to be at the same horizontal height. The limiting block 3 is set on the surface of the base 2 to fix the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12.

[0057] Specifically, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 can be placed at intervals on the same horizontal surface of the base 2. Thus, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are located at the same horizontal height. The positional relationship of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 is adjusted for the first time. Then, the first clamping member 11 is controlled to move closer to the second clamping member 12 so that the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 are connected. This achieves a second adjustment of the positional relationship of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, so that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are precisely at the same horizontal height.

[0058] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting block 3 along the height direction perpendicular to the base 2 can be L-shaped, so that the limiting block 3 can fit the contour of the first clamping member 11 or the second clamping member 12 to fix the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 placed on the base 2, thereby avoiding the risk of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 moving on the base 2 and falling off the base 2 when the position is adjusted, and improving the safety of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 during the position adjustment process.

[0059] Optionally, a boss 21 may be provided on the first surface of the base 2. The boss 21 corresponds to the first clamping position 111 of the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping position 121 of the second clamping member 12. Then, during the process of placing multiple twisted needles on the adjusted clamping assembly 1, one end of the multiple twisted needles contacts the boss 21 so that the relative height of each twisted needle on the clamping assembly 1 is equal to that of the clamping assembly 1. The first surface of the base 2 is the surface on which the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are placed.

[0060] Since the boss 21 corresponds to the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, after the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are adjusted to be at the same horizontal height, when the user places a twisted needle between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, one end of the twisted needle contacts the boss 21. That is, the same end of multiple twisted needles contacts the same horizontal surface, so that multiple twisted needles are at the same height and the relative height of each twisted needle to the clamping component 1 is equal. This avoids the situation where the welding efficiency of each twisted needle is different due to the inconsistent height of the twisted needles during the welding process of the twisted needles clamped by the clamping component 1, further improving the clamping efficiency of the clamping component 1 for the twisted needles and improving the practicality of the adjustment device A.

[0061] In one embodiment, after the first set of clamping components 1 is adjusted on the base 2 and clamps the twisted needle, the user can move the first set of clamping components 1 to the welding device (not shown) to weld the clamped twisted needle. At the same time, the second set of clamping components 1 can be placed on the base 2 for adjustment to improve the clamping efficiency of the twisted needle and improve the processing efficiency of the twisted needle.

[0062] This application further provides a method for holding a twisted needle, applied to a clamping assembly 1 and / or an adjustment loading A, comprising: moving a first clamping member 11 closer to a second clamping member 12, connecting a first mating member 112 and a second mating member 122 so that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are at the same horizontal height; placing the twisted needle between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, and fitting the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 together, with the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 clamping the twisted needle.

[0063] The user can directly move the first clamping member 11 closer to the second clamping member 12, or place the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 on the base 2, so that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are initially at the same horizontal level, and then move the first clamping member 11 closer to the second clamping member 12, so that the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 are connected, so that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are at the same horizontal level.

[0064] After adjusting the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 to be at the same horizontal height, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 can be connected using the adjusting component 13. Then, the twisted needle can be placed between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, and the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 can be brought into contact. Specifically, the user can use the adjusting component 13 to reduce the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, so that the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 are brought into contact to clamp the twisted needle.

[0065] Furthermore, the basic method provided in this embodiment also includes: after the twisted needle held by the clamping component 1 is processed, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 are separated to unload the twisted needle, wherein the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 are at least partially connected to maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12; the twisted needle to be processed is placed again between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121, and the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 are fitted together so that the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 clamp the twisted needle.

[0066] Specifically, after the twisted needles held on the clamping assembly 1 have been welded, the welded twisted needles need to be unloaded. The adjusting assembly 13 can increase the distance between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12, and under the force of the elastic assembly 14, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 separate to unload the welded twisted needles. Simultaneously, the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 are at least partially connected. That is, due to the mating action of the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122, when the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 separate, the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12 remain at the same horizontal height, and the first mating member 112 and the second mating member 122 maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping member 11 and the second clamping member 12.

[0067] After the twisted needle is fed, since the first mating part 112 and the second mating part 122 maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12, there is no need to adjust the positional relationship between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 again. The user places the twisted needle to be processed between the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 again, and uses the adjusting component 13 to reduce the distance between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12, so that the first clamping position 111 and the second clamping position 121 fit together, and the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 clamp the twisted needle.

[0068] By engaging the first mating part 112 and the second mating part 122, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 can be positioned at the same horizontal level, improving the alignment efficiency of the clamping assembly 1 and the clamping efficiency of the twisted needle. Furthermore, when the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12 separate, the first mating part 112 and the second mating part 122 maintain the positional relationship between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12, allowing the twisted needle to be clamped again without adjustment, further improving the clamping efficiency of the twisted needle and enhancing the practicality of the clamping method of this application.
