[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] An electric welding clamping cylinder, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure includes a fixed base 1 and a servo motor 2 fixedly connected to it. The servo motor 2 is a customized pull rod motor. The fixed base 1 is used to provide stable support and limit the movement of each part, ensuring that the overall structure can function stably. The servo motor 2 is fixed to the fixed base 1 by bolts. On the side of the fixed base 1 away from the servo motor 2, a housing 3 is detachably connected to it by bolts. The drive end of the servo motor 2 is connected to a drive structure located inside the housing 3. The drive structure has an output end that is rotatably connected to the housing 3 and extends out of the housing 3. A clamping arm 4 is detachably connected to the output end. After the servo motor 2 is driven, it will drive the drive structure connected to it. The moving structure drives the clamping arm 4 to move, switching between clamping and releasing actions. The servo motor 2, with its programmable control feature, ensures that the clamping angle and clamping force output by the clamping arm 4 are adjustable, allowing the overall structure to better adapt to the clamping and limiting of different types of parts. A clamping space 5 is formed between the clamping arm 4 and the housing 3. The housing 3, located within the clamping space 5, has mounting positions for fixtures. Users can install the required fixtures into the mounting positions on the housing 3 using bolts. Then, under the combined action of the clamping arm 4 and the fixtures, the workpiece is stably clamped.

[0018] like Figures 1-4As shown, the driving structure includes a first driving block 6 that slides horizontally. A first connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the first driving block 6. A guide groove 8 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 3 for the first connecting rod 7 to pass through and slide. The two ends of the first connecting rod 7 are rotatably connected to guide rings 9 that roll within the guide groove 8 through shaft hole engagement. The diameter of the guide ring 9 is the same as the width of the guide groove 8. Under the combined action of the guide ring 9 and the first rotating rod, the sliding process of the first driving block 6 is stably guided and limited, making the sliding process of the first driving block 6 in the horizontal direction more stable and smooth, and thus making the sliding and driving process of the first driving block 6 more stable and smooth.

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a sliding plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the first driving block 6 by screws, and a displacement sensor 11 located on the sliding path of the sliding plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the housing 3 by screws. The number of displacement sensors 11 is set to two, and they are located at both ends of the displacement path of the sliding plate 10. When the sliding plate 10 slides to the displacement sensor 11, the displacement sensor 11 will convert the corresponding action signal into an electrical signal, thereby facilitating the stable identification of the position of the sliding plate 10 and the first driving block 6 fixedly connected to the sliding plate 10, and thus controlling the sliding process and sliding path of the first driving block 6.

[0020] like Figures 2-7As shown, a second driving block 12 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 7 via a shaft hole. A second connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the second driving block 12 on the side opposite to the first connecting rod 7. A third driving block 14 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 13. When the first driving block 6 is driven, it will drive the first connecting rod 7 to move. When the first connecting rod 7 moves, it will drive the second driving block 12. When the second driving block 12 is driven, it will drive the second connecting rod 13. The second connecting rod 13 will drive the third driving block 14. Symmetrically arranged output rods 15 are integrally formed on the third driving block 14. The output ends are located on the side of the output rods 15 away from the third driving block 14. Each output rod 15 is fitted with a first bearing 16, which is a needle roller bearing. The inner wall of body 3 is provided with a first bearing hole 17 for the first bearing 16 to be inserted. The first bearing hole 17 is used to achieve stable placement and limit of the first bearing 16, ensuring that the position of the first bearing 16 and its function are more stable. The first bearing 16 provides stable support and limit for the position of the output shaft, ensuring that the position of the output rod 15 and its function are more stable. The first bearing 16 can also reduce the friction force on the output rod 15 during rotation, making the rotation of the output rod 15 smoother and thus making the driving process of the output rod 15 more stable. When the third drive block 14 is driven, it will drive the output rod 15 to rotate, so that the output rod 15 outputs by rotation.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a clamping block 18 is detachably connected to the clamping arm 4. The clamping block 18 is symmetrically provided with locking bolts for threaded connection with the clamping arm 4. Both the clamping block 18 and the clamping arm 4 have triangular grooves with opposing openings. The groove walls abut against the output rod 15. The output rod 15 has a connecting section with a square cross-section. The outer wall of the connecting section abuts against the groove walls of the triangular grooves. When the clamping block 18 and the clamping arm 4 abut against the connecting section, the distance between the clamping block 18 and the clamping arm 4 is greater than zero. This arrangement ensures that when the locking bolts connect the clamping block 18 and the clamping arm 4, the clamping block 18 and the clamping arm 4 can stably abut against the output rod 15, achieving the connection between the clamping block 18 and the clamping arm 4 and the output shaft. This allows the output rod 15 to stably drive the clamping arm 4 during operation, ensuring the clamping function of the clamping arm 4 is stably achieved.

[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, the housing 3 includes two smaller housings that are spliced ​​together. The two smaller housings are positioned by a pin and locked by bolts. The two smaller housings are fixed to the fixing base 1 by bolts. This configuration makes the housing 3 a detachable and splicable structure, which makes the process of installing and inspecting the internal structure of the housing 3 more convenient. The assembly and maintenance of the overall structure are also more convenient. A cover 19 covering the outside of the servo motor 2 is detachably connected to the fixing base 1 on the side opposite to the housing 3 by bolts. The cover 19 is used to stably cover and protect the servo motor 2, ensuring that the subsequent operation of the servo motor 2 is more stable. At the same time, several plugs for connecting to the servo motor 2 are fixedly connected to the cover 19.

[0023] like Figures 2-5 As shown, a drive screw 20 is fixedly connected to the first drive block 6 via a pin connection. The servo motor 2 has a clearance guide groove 21 for the drive screw 20 to pass through. The clearance guide groove 21 is reserved in the servo motor 2 during customization. The clearance guide groove 21 is used to provide clearance and guidance for the movement of the drive screw 20. The drive end of the servo motor 2 is fixedly connected to a screw nut 22 that is transmitted to the drive screw 20. During the drive process, the servo motor 2 drives the screw nut 22 to rotate. During the rotation of the screw nut 22, through the transmission connection between it and the drive screw 20, the screw nut 22 can stably drive the drive screw 20 connected to it to move, thereby enabling the drive function of the drive screw 20 to be stably realized, and enabling the subsequent clamping function of the overall structure to be stably realized.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
