The position sensor 22 is adapted to the positioning protrusion 16. This hydraulic chuck with closure sensing function also includes a display assembly connected to the position sensor 22, which includes an operating screen and a processor.

[0026] The drive structure includes a first double-ear seat 8, a hydraulic cylinder 9, a connecting rod mechanism, a left connecting rod 10, and a right connecting rod 11. One end of the left connecting rod 10 is mounted on the left crankshaft 4, and the other end is provided with a left hinge shaft 12. One end of the right connecting rod 11 is mounted on the front end of the right crankshaft 5, and the other end is provided with a right hinge shaft 13. The first double-ear seat 8 is mounted on the base 1 and is located in front of the right chuck ear plate 3. The cylinder barrel of the hydraulic cylinder 9 is hinged to the first double-ear seat 8, and the top of the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 9 faces the left chuck. The ear plate 2 is square in shape; the linkage mechanism includes an integrally formed short shank 14 and a long rod 15, with an obtuse angle between the short shank 14 and the long rod 15; one end of the linkage mechanism is hinged to the top of the piston part of the cylinder 9, and one end of the long rod 15 is rotatably sleeved on the right hinge shaft 13; the junction of the short shank 14 and the long rod 15 is rotatably sleeved on the left hinge shaft 12; the left hinge shaft 12 is located below the left crankshaft 4, and the right hinge shaft 13 is located above the right crankshaft 5. The cylinder 9 is a single-ear cylinder 9, with the ear end of the cylinder 9 hinged to the first double-ear seat 8, and the top of the piston end of the cylinder 9 is provided with a second double-ear seat 23, with the short shank 14 hinged to the second double-ear seat 23.

[0027] The left crankshaft sensing device also includes a closable retaining ring structure fitted onto the left crankshaft 4. The retaining ring structure includes an upper arc-shaped block 17 and a lower arc-shaped block 18 that matches the upper arc-shaped block 17. The upper arc-shaped block 17 and the lower arc-shaped block 18 are bolted together, and a positioning protrusion 16 is provided on the lower arc-shaped block 18. When the left half chuck 24 and the right half chuck 25 are closed, the positioning protrusion 16 is located at the bottom of the lower arc-shaped block 18 and directly above the position sensor 22. The inner ring surface at the junction of the upper arc-shaped plate, the lower arc-shaped plate, and the left crankshaft 4 is provided with a rolling pattern.

[0028] The left crankshaft sensing device also includes a mounting plate 19 located below the left crankshaft 4 on the chuck lug plate. The mounting plate 19 is provided with a mounting seat, which is formed with mounting holes through its upper and lower end faces. The position sensor 22 is sleeved in the mounting hole in the middle, and its two ends protrude from the mounting hole. The mounting device includes an inner mounting plate 20 and an outer mounting plate 21, which are bolted together. The mounting holes are formed on the two end faces of the inner mounting plate 20 and the outer mounting plate 21 that are in contact with each other.

[0029] This hydraulic chuck with closure sensing function also includes a right crankshaft sensing device adapted to the right crankshaft 5, which is the same as the left crankshaft sensing device.

[0030] The operation screen and processor are both existing technologies, and their working principles will not be elaborated here. The position sensor 22 can be model IFT202, which can be purchased on the market.

[0031] In this application, the left crankshaft sensing device and the right crankshaft sensing device can also use a cam to compress the guide shaft, using the guide shaft as a sensing source. The guide shaft compresses the spring to move vertically, so that the position sensor 22 can sense it.

[0032] The sensing mechanism provided by this utility model has the function of judging the chuck status: when the chuck is closed, the positioning protrusion 16 is directly above the position sensor 22, triggering the response mode and sending a signal. The processor receives the signal, processes it, and transmits it to the operation screen. The operator can determine that the chuck is in the closed state through the operation screen.

[0033] When the chuck is open, the positioning protrusion 16 rotates with the left crankshaft 4 or the right crankshaft 5. The positioning protrusion 16 moves away from the position sensor 22 and is out of the sensing range. At this time, the sensor will not detect a signal. The processor determines that the chuck is in the closed state and displays the chuck status on the operation screen. The operator can know that the chuck is in the open state.

[0034] When the chuck is closed, the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 9 extends, applying a leftward force to the end of the short handle 14 that is hinged to it, thereby causing the entire linkage mechanism to shift. At this time, a force is applied to the left connecting rod 10 and the right connecting rod 11 that are hinged to the linkage mechanism, causing the left crankshaft 4 and the right crankshaft 5 to rotate in opposite directions. The left crankshaft 4 rotates counterclockwise, and the right crankshaft 5 rotates clockwise. This causes the left half chuck 24 and the right half chuck 25 on them to close, completing the chuck closing operation. At the same time, the positioning protrusion 16 moves to the position sensor 22 to trigger a response signal.

[0035] When the chuck is opened, the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 9 retracts, applying a rightward force to the end of the short handle 14 that is hinged to it, thereby causing the entire linkage mechanism to shift. At this time, a force is applied to the left connecting rod 10 and the right connecting rod 11 that are hinged to the linkage mechanism, causing the left crankshaft 4 and the right crankshaft 5 to rotate in opposite directions. The left crankshaft 4 rotates counterclockwise and the right crankshaft 5 rotates clockwise, thereby causing the left half chuck 24 and the right half chuck 25 on them to open, completing the chuck opening operation. At the same time, the positioning protrusion 16 will move away from the position sensor 22, and there is no sensing signal trigger.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
