[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, a movable centering clamping mechanism includes a single-rod power cylinder 1, a housing 2, a straight tube 3, a first gear 4, a second gear 5, a guide plate 6, a spindle 7, rollers 8, a connecting piece 9, and a pin 10. The cylinder body of the single-rod power cylinder 1 is fixed on the housing 2. The piston rod of the single-rod power cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 9. The connecting piece 9 is provided with a pin 10. The straight tube 3 is provided with a cam groove 31. The pin 10 passes through the cam groove 31. The straight tube 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 2. The first gear 4 is fixed on the straight tube 3. The first gear 4 meshes with the second gear 5. The second gear 5 is rotatably connected inside the housing 2. The housing 2 is provided with three or more rollers 8. The guide plate 6 is fixed inside the housing 2. The guide plate 6 is provided with several rotationally symmetrical arc-shaped slots 61. The second gear 5 is provided with several straight slots 51. A spindle 7 is fixed at the center of the roller 8. Each spindle 7 passes through an arc-shaped slot 61 and a straight slot 51 respectively.

[0022] The connector 9 is a straight rod, and a pin 10 is vertically connected to the rod body. The straight rod is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the single-rod power cylinder 1 by screws. The connection between the piston rod of the single-rod power cylinder 1 and the straight rod is located inside the straight tube 3.

[0023] A connecting block 12 is fixed to the front end of the connector 9, and a guide rod 13 is vertically fixed to the end face of the connecting block 12. The guide rod 13 passes through the guide hole on the connecting plate 11.

[0024] When the straight rod is driven to move linearly by the piston rod of the single-rod power cylinder 1, it will drive the connecting block 12 and the guide rod 13 to move linearly. The guide rod 13 moves along the guide hole, which will help the connecting piece 9 move more stably. The connecting block 12 is used to connect to the external mechanism.

[0025] A connecting plate 11 is fixed on the housing 2. One end of the straight pipe 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 11 via a bearing, and the other end of the straight pipe 3 is rotatably connected to the cylinder body of the single-rod power cylinder 1 via a bearing. The straight pipe 3 will rotate along the bearings at both ends.

[0026] The front end of the housing 2 is provided with an opening for the rod to pass through.

[0027] The working principle of this application is as follows: When the piston rod of the single-rod power cylinder 1 extends or retracts, it drives the connecting piece 9 to move back and forth in a linear motion. When the connecting piece 9 moves, the pin 10 on the connecting piece 9 moves along the cam groove 31, thereby driving the straight tube 3 to rotate. The straight tube 3 drives the gear 2 5 to rotate via gear 4. When gear 2 5 rotates, it pushes the mandrel 7 to move along the arc-shaped slot 61 and the straight slot 51. Since the several arc-shaped slots 61 are rotationally symmetrical and the straight slots 51 are centrally symmetrical, when gear 2 5 rotates in the forward or reverse direction, it can drive several rollers 8 to open outward or converge towards the center. When the bar is placed between several rollers 8, while the single-rod power cylinder 1 drives the connecting piece 9 to move, it can also drive several rollers 8 to clamp and center the bar.

[0028] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
