[0008] This utility model discloses an elastic clamping mechanism for a gas cylinder dryer. In use, the entire elastic clamping mechanism is connected to a hydraulic cylinder via a connecting unit. The pressure head presses against the tail end of the gas cylinder. As the hydraulic cylinder further retracts, the pressure at the pressure head increases.

[0002] In the cylinder drying operation, the stable clamping of the cylinder is the key to ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the drying process. At present, cylinder drying equipment usually adopts the traditional cylinder clamping method to achieve the clamping operation of the cylinder. The cylinder clamping mechanism is mainly composed of clamping cylinder, bracket, clamping plate, guide shaft and other components. It achieves the clamping and loosening of the cylinder by driving the clamping plate through the extension and retraction of the cylinder. However, in the aforementioned prior art, the structure is loose and the layout is scattered, resulting in a large space occupation and insufficient support, making it difficult to provide stable and reliable support force. This can easily affect the positional stability of the cylinder during drying, shorten the equipment life and increase maintenance costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a pressing mechanism for a steel cylinder dryer that is simple, compact, and space-saving. Summary of the Invention

[0018] This utility model provides an elastic clamping mechanism for a steel cylinder dryer, including a base plate 101, four sets of elastic clamping units and a connecting unit. The elastic clamping unit includes a clamping bracket 102, an upper guide sleeve 103, a lower guide sleeve 104, a spring 105, a retaining sleeve 106, a pressure head shaft 107, a retaining ring for the hole 108, a bearing 109, a pressure head 110, a first retaining ring for the shaft 111 and a second retaining ring for the shaft 112. The connecting unit includes a connecting slider 113 and a hydraulic cylinder connecting seat 114. The connecting slider 113 has a connecting groove 115. The pressure head 110 has an installation groove 116. The pressure head shaft 107 has a first limiting groove 117 and a second limiting groove 118.
[0019] The four sets of elastic clamping units are respectively disposed on one side of the base plate 101, and the connecting unit is disposed on the other side of the base plate 101; the clamping bracket 102 is fixedly connected to the base plate 101 and located on one side of the base plate 101; the upper guide sleeve 103 is detachably connected to the clamping bracket 102 and located at the inner top end of the clamping bracket 102; the lower guide sleeve 104 is detachably connected to the clamping bracket 102 and located at the inner bottom end of the clamping bracket 102; the pressure head shaft 107 is movably connected to the upper guide sleeve 103 and the lower guide sleeve 104 respectively; and the clamping sleeve 106 is connected to the pressure head shaft 107. The spring 105 is located on the outer wall of the pressure head shaft 107 and is connected to the upper guide sleeve 103 and the retaining sleeve 106 respectively. The pressure head 110 is detachably connected to the pressure head shaft 107 and is located at the lower end of the pressure head shaft 107. The bearing 109 is connected to the pressure head shaft 107 and is located on the outer wall of the pressure head shaft 107. The pressure head 110 has a mounting groove 116, which is detachably engaged with the hole retaining ring 108. The hole retaining ring 108 contacts the bearing 109 and is located above the bearing 109.
[0020] In this embodiment, during use, the entire elastic clamping mechanism is connected to the hydraulic cylinder via the connecting unit. The pressure head 110 presses against the tail end of the cylinder. As the hydraulic cylinder further retracts, the pressure at the pressure head 110 increases. The pressure head 110, the pressure head shaft 107, the bearing 109, the retaining ring 108, and the ferrule 106 move upward together. The ferrule 106 pushes the spring 105 to compress, thus increasing the clamping force. The biggest advantage of the elastic clamping mechanism is that it adjusts the clamping force by the compression of the spring 105, allowing cylinders with length errors at multiple workstations to be clamped. This ensures a constant clamping force when clamping the cylinder. At the same time, the mechanism has a simpler and more compact structure, saves space, is easy to maintain, and is simple to operate, robust, and durable. Compared with traditional pneumatic clamping mechanisms, its components are less prone to damage, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs. Based on these advantages, the core competitiveness of the cylinder dryer in the market is greatly improved.
[0021] Furthermore, the pressure head shaft 107 has a first limiting groove 117, which is detachably engaged with the first shaft retaining ring 111, and the pressure head shaft 107 has a second limiting groove 118, which is detachably engaged with the second shaft retaining ring 112.
[0022] In this embodiment, the first shaft retaining ring 111 is used to limit the sliding distance of the pressure head shaft 107 to prevent the pressure head shaft 107 from disengaging from the upper guide sleeve 103, while the second shaft retaining ring 112 cooperates with the hole retaining ring 108 to limit the bearing 109.
[0023] Furthermore, the connecting slider 113 is fixedly connected to the base plate 101 and is located on the side of the base plate 101 away from the clamping bracket 102, and the cylinder connecting seat 114 is fixedly connected to the base plate 101 and is located on the side of the base plate 101 away from the clamping bracket 102.
[0024] In this embodiment, the connecting slider 113 is used for sliding support and limiting of the cylinder dryer, and the oil cylinder connecting seat 114 is used for external oil cylinder connection, thereby improving the practicality of the mechanism.
[0025] Furthermore, the connecting slider 113 has a connecting groove 115.
[0026] In this embodiment, the connecting groove 115 is used to slide and limit the base plate 101, ensuring that the base plate 101 can move in the vertical direction.
