Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite nutrient plant block technology, specifically a clamp for transporting composite nutrient plant blocks. Background Technology

[0002] The treatment of sewage, wastewater, and polluted water bodies has always been a core task in water environment management. Currently, one or more physical, chemical, and ecological methods are commonly used in combination to reduce or eliminate pollutants. However, while the initial purification effect of adding flocculants and microorganisms is often acceptable due to water flow, the pollutants are gradually released back into the water. Physical methods such as sediment dredging are too costly, and most projects cannot handle such a large scale. Plants absorbing nutrients from the water require improved water quality and a certain level of transparency for the plants to survive.

[0003] Traditional clamps for handling composite nutrient plant blocks suffer from problems such as limited functionality, poor adaptability, and insufficient precision, making it difficult to meet the needs of handling and adjusting the orientation of plant blocks of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a clamp for transporting composite nutrient plant blocks to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial option.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment is implemented as follows: a clamp for transporting composite nutrient plant blocks, including a connecting rod, a rotating mechanism and a clamping mechanism;

[0006] The connecting rod, as the main connecting component of the clamp, is used to transmit power and connect other mechanisms. It has a rod-shaped structure and provides an installation base for subsequent mechanisms.

[0007] The rotating mechanism is fitted onto the outside of the connecting rod and includes a T-slot, a motor, a first gear, a connecting groove, a T-block, and a second gear. The T-block is fixed to the surface of the connecting rod, and the T-slot is opened in the inner wall of the rotating mechanism and slides with the T-block, so that the rotating mechanism can slide along the axis of the connecting rod and rotate relative to it. The motor is fixed on the rotating mechanism, and its output shaft is connected to the first gear.

[0008] The clamping mechanism, connected to the rotating mechanism and the connecting rod, includes an electric push rod, a slide, a sliding plate, a first rotating shaft, a connecting plate, a second rotating shaft, a clamp, and a push rod. The electric push rod is fixedly installed, and its output end is connected to the slide to drive the slide to move in a certain direction. The sliding plate is rotatably connected to the slide through the first rotating shaft.

[0009] More preferably, the second gear meshes with the first gear for transmission, and the second gear cooperates with the connecting rod or other fixed components through the connecting groove to realize the rotation control of the rotating mechanism, thereby driving the fixture to rotate as a whole or in part.

[0010] More preferably, the electric push rod is a servo electric push rod with position feedback function, which can accurately control the moving distance of the slide, thereby accurately adjusting the opening and closing degree of the clamp, and realizing the precise clamping of composite nutrient planting blocks of different sizes.

[0011] More preferably, the motor of the rotating mechanism is a stepper motor, which precisely controls the rotation angle through pulse signals, enabling precise rotational positioning of the clamping mechanism. This facilitates adjustment of the orientation of the planting block during transportation, adapting to different placement positions and angle requirements.

[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, each rotating connection part of the clamping mechanism, including the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, is equipped with a self-lubricating bearing made of an oil-impregnated alloy material, which can achieve smooth rotation without additional lubrication, reduce mechanical wear, reduce maintenance frequency, and ensure long-term stable clamping action of the clamping mechanism.

[0013] More preferably, one end of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the slide plate via a second rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the clamp. The push rod is used for auxiliary support and transmission, so that the clamp can perform clamping and releasing actions on the composite nutrient planting block. The clamping force and opening degree are controlled by the extension and retraction of the electric push rod to adapt to the handling needs of planting blocks of different sizes.

[0014] This utility model embodiment, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, has the following advantages: In this utility model

[0015] I. Multi-mechanism collaborative control: The rotating mechanism and the clamping mechanism work together. The rotating mechanism can realize the rotation of the entire or partial clamp, which is convenient for adjusting the direction of the plant block transportation. The clamping mechanism precisely controls the clamping force and opening degree through electric push rod, which can adapt to different sizes of plant blocks and solve the problems of single function and poor adaptability of traditional clamps.

[0016] II. Precision Transmission and Wear-Resistant Design: The rotating mechanism employs a sliding fit between T-blocks and T-slots, combined with a wear-resistant coating, ensuring smooth rotation and sliding as well as wear resistance; the clamping mechanism utilizes servo electric actuators and self-lubricating bearings to achieve precise positioning and low-wear transmission, improving the accuracy and service life of the clamps.

[0017] Safety and compatibility: The inner side of the clip is equipped with an elastic buffer pad and anti-slip texture, which not only protects the planting block from damage but also prevents it from slipping during handling. At the same time, it can be adjusted to fit planting blocks of different sizes, improving the safety and versatility of the handling process.

[0018] The above overview is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features of the present invention will become readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.
