Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of metallurgical equipment maintenance technology, and in particular to a tool for disassembling wear-resistant pads for mechanical clamps. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated inspection systems in the metallurgical industry, small robotic arms are widely used for sample transfer in automated steel inspection. The clamps fixed to the front end of the small robotic arm are used to hold and transfer disc-shaped samples for automated inspection. However, the wear-resistant pads on these clamps require regular disassembly, maintenance, and replacement. Currently, the common disassembly method involves using ordinary screwdrivers, requiring multiple people to work together. This demands high levels of personnel skill and technical expertise, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can easily damage the wear-resistant pads themselves. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, this application provides a tool for disassembling wear pads on mechanical fixtures, so as to solve the problems of high difficulty and low efficiency in replacing wear pads on fixtures in the prior art.

[0004] The above-mentioned objectives of this application are mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A tool for removing wear-resistant pads from mechanical clamps, the tool comprising:

[0006] The first main body has a first clamping end for abutting against the end face of the wear-resistant pad;

[0007] The second main body is disposed on the first main body and has a second clamping end. The second clamping end is used to abut against the end face of the clamp so that the second main body can be clamped with the first main body on the outside of the clamp and the wear-resistant pad.

[0008] An operating member is movably disposed on one of the first clamping end and the second clamping end, and can move toward the other of the first clamping end and the second clamping end. When the second main body and the first main body clamp the clamp and the wear-resistant pad, the operating member can move and push out the locking pin of the wear-resistant pad.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the first main body component and the second main body component are detachably connected.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the disassembly tool further includes a connector that passes through the first main body and the second main body, and a plurality of adjustment blocks are provided between the first main body and the second main body.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the connector is a bolt assembly, and the connector passes through the first main body, the second main body, and the adjusting block simultaneously.

[0012] In an alternative implementation, the plurality of adjustment blocks have different thicknesses.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the operating element is threadedly connected to either the first clamping end or the second clamping end.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the operating member is perpendicular to the first clamping end or the second clamping end.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, one end of the operating member is provided with a pin, the outer diameter of which is not greater than the outer diameter of the locking pin.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the other end of the operating member is provided with an operating end, and the operating end is provided with a connection position. The operating end can abut against the outside of the first clamping end or the second clamping end to restrict the operating member from disengaging.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the first main body and / or the second main body are provided with clearance grooves.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:

[0019] The disassembly tool of this application is used for disassembling the wear-resistant pad of a mechanical clamp. The disassembly tool includes a first main body, a second main body, and an operating member. The first main body has a first clamping end for abutting against the end face of the wear-resistant pad. The second main body is disposed on the first main body and has a second clamping end for abutting against the end face of the clamp, so that the second main body can be clamped with the first main body to the outside of the clamp and the wear-resistant pad. The operating member is movably disposed on one of the first clamping end and the second clamping end and can move toward the other of the first clamping end and the second clamping end. When the second main body and the first main body clamp the clamp and the wear-resistant pad, the operating member can move and push out the locking pin of the wear-resistant pad.

[0020] Once the second main component and the first main component have clamped the fixture and the wear-resistant pad, the movement of the operating component can push out the locking pin of the wear-resistant pad. This effectively solves the drawbacks of traditional disassembly methods. First, it avoids the need for multiple people to cooperate when using screwdrivers for disassembly, simplifying the operation process and saving time and labor costs. Second, it reduces the stringent requirements on the operator's skills and qualifications, making it easier to promote and apply. Third, it reduces the risk of damage to the wear-resistant pad due to improper operation, extending its service life. Finally, it significantly improves the efficiency of wear-resistant pad replacement or adjustment, ensuring the normal operation of small and medium-sized robotic arms in metallurgical automation equipment and the efficient conduct of inspection work, thus enhancing the stability of the entire mechanical fixture system.

[0021] Meanwhile, this disassembly tool is highly versatile, adaptable to different specifications of wear-resistant pads and clamps, and has good compatibility and adaptability. It is suitable for a variety of mechanical clamps, further expanding its application scope. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0024] In the figure: 100, first main body component; 101, first clamping end; 200, second main body component; 201, second clamping end; 300, operating component; 301, ejector pin; 302, operating end; 401, connecting component; 402, adjusting block; 403, clearance groove. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to aid in understanding the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. The specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are only for describing exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in many alternative forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a disassembly tool provided in an embodiment of this application; a disassembly tool for a wear-resistant pad of a mechanical clamp, the disassembly tool comprising a first main body 100, a second main body 200, and an operating component 300, wherein:

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the first main body 100 has a first clamping end 101 for abutting against the end face of the wear-resistant pad. The first main body 100 is the basic component of this disassembly tool, providing stable initial support and precise positioning. The first clamping end 101 is provided at the front end of the first main body 100. The shape and size of the first clamping end 101 are carefully optimized to stably conform to the end face of the wear-resistant pad. In actual operation, the first clamping end 101 can ensure a firm contact with the end face of the wear-resistant pad through its special texture or material, thereby providing a reliable point of force for subsequent disassembly operations. This not only ensures the stability of clamping but also avoids unnecessary damage to the surface of the wear-resistant pad.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the second main body 200 is disposed on the first main body 100. The second main body 200 has a second clamping end 201, which is used to abut against the end face of the clamp, so that the second main body 200 can be clamped with the first main body 100 on the outside of the clamp and the wear-resistant pad.

[0029] The second main body component 200 is mounted on the first main body component 100. The main function of the second main body component 200 is to work in conjunction with the first main body component 100 to form a complete clamping system. The second main body component 200 is provided with a second clamping end 201, which is used to abut against the end face of the clamp. When the second main body component 200 cooperates with the first main body component 100, it can tightly clamp the clamp and wear-resistant pad from the outside, forming a stable clamping structure. This clamping method can adapt to clamps and wear-resistant pads of different sizes and shapes, ensuring the stability of the overall structure during disassembly. Through this cooperative clamping mechanism, the disassembly tool can firmly fix the target component, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent actions of the operating component 300.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the operating member 300 is movably mounted on one of the first clamping end 101 and the second clamping end 201, and can move toward the other of the first clamping end 101 and the second clamping end 201. When the second main body 200 and the first main body 100 clamp the clamp and the wear-resistant pad, the operating member 300 can move and push out the locking pin of the wear-resistant pad.

[0031] The operating component 300 is movably mounted on one of the first clamping end 101 and the second clamping end 201, allowing it to move flexibly towards the other clamping end. This movable connection gives the operating component 300 a high degree of flexibility and adaptability, enabling it to accurately complete tasks in different operating scenarios. Once the second main body 200 and the first main body 100 successfully clamp the fixture and the wear-resistant pad, the operating component 300 begins to play its crucial role. Through a preset mechanical motion trajectory, the operating component 300 can move smoothly and powerfully, ultimately ejecting the locking pin of the wear-resistant pad, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the ejection action.

[0032] In actual operation, the first main body 100 forms a stable contact with the end face of the wear-resistant pad through the first clamping end 101, providing initial support for the entire tool. Subsequently, the second main body 200 cooperates with the end face of the clamp through the second clamping end 201, forming a stable clamping structure together with the first main body 100. At this time, the operating component 300, supported by the clamping structure, begins to perform the action of ejecting the locking pin. The movement of the operating component 300 follows a preset motion trajectory, efficiently transmitting the force applied by the operator to the locking pin. This not only improves disassembly efficiency but also significantly reduces the difficulty of operation, making the entire disassembly process easier, faster, and more reliable.

[0033] This disassembly tool demonstrates excellent adaptability and versatility when dealing with mechanical clamps of different specifications and sizes. For larger clamps, both the first main body 100 and the second main body 200 have adjustable clamping ranges, allowing for easy handling of clamps and wear pads of various sizes through simple adjustments. The length and force of the operating part 300 can also be adjusted appropriately according to actual conditions, accurately ejecting clamps from both deep and shallow locking pin positions. This meets the needs of various complex and changing maintenance scenarios, providing an efficient and flexible solution for the maintenance of mechanical clamps.

[0034] Compared to hydraulic disassembly equipment, this disassembly tool offers significant advantages in portability and cost. Hydraulic disassembly equipment is typically bulky and complex, requiring a hydraulic power source to operate, which greatly limits its use in maintenance scenarios with limited space or frequent movement. This disassembly tool, on the other hand, is compact and small, easy to carry and operate. Maintenance personnel can easily take it to various complex equipment sites for disassembly work without additional power support. In terms of cost, hydraulic disassembly equipment is expensive, with high purchase costs and significant manpower and resources required for daily maintenance. This disassembly tool reduces production costs, and its daily maintenance is relatively simple, requiring only periodic cleaning and inspection of the clamping end and operating part 300. This saves users substantial equipment investment and maintenance costs, making it more cost-effective in the field of small robotic arm gripper maintenance.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the disassembly tool of this application is used for disassembling the wear-resistant pad of a mechanical clamp. The disassembly tool includes a first main body 100, a second main body 200, and an operating member 300. The first main body 100 has a first clamping end 101 for abutting against the end face of the wear-resistant pad. The second main body 200 is disposed on the first main body 100 and has a second clamping end 201. The second clamping end 201 is used to abut against the end face of the clamp, so that the second... The main body 200 can be clamped with the first main body 100 on the outside of the clamp and the wear-resistant pad; the operating member 300 is movably disposed on one of the first clamping end 101 and the second clamping end 201, and can move toward the other of the first clamping end 101 and the second clamping end 201, and when the second main body 200 and the first main body 100 clamp the clamp and the wear-resistant pad, the operating member 300 can move and push out the locking pin of the wear-resistant pad.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, after the second main body 200 and the first main body 100 have clamped the fixture and the wear-resistant pad, the movement of the operating part 300 can push out the locking pin of the wear-resistant pad. This effectively solves the drawbacks of traditional disassembly methods. First, it avoids the need for multiple people to cooperate when using screwdrivers for disassembly, simplifying the operation process and saving time and labor costs. Second, it reduces the strict requirements on the quality and skills of operators, making it easier to promote and apply. Third, it reduces the risk of damage to the wear-resistant pad due to improper operation, extending its service life. Finally, it significantly improves the efficiency of wear-resistant pad replacement or adjustment, ensuring the normal operation of small and medium-sized robotic arms in metallurgical automation equipment and the efficient implementation of inspection work, thus improving the stability of the entire mechanical fixture system.

[0037] Meanwhile, this disassembly tool is highly versatile, adaptable to different specifications of wear-resistant pads and clamps, and has good compatibility and adaptability. It is suitable for a variety of mechanical clamps, further expanding its application scope.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, in an optional embodiment, the first main body 100 and the second main body 200 are detachably connected. This provides the disassembly tool with greater flexibility and ease of maintenance. Through this detachable connection, users can quickly replace or adjust the first main body 100 and the second main body 200 according to actual needs, thereby adapting to different sizes of clamps and wear pads. This connection method not only facilitates daily maintenance and cleaning of the tool but also allows for quick replacement when parts are damaged, extending the tool's service life. For example, when faced with clamps of different diameters, users can easily disassemble and replace the first main body 100 or the second main body 200 of the corresponding size without having to purchase the entire tool set again.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the disassembly tool further includes a connector 401 that passes through the first main body 100 and the second main body 200, and a plurality of adjusting blocks 402 are provided between the first main body 100 and the second main body 200.

[0040] The connector 401 securely connects the first main body 100 and the second main body 200 together, ensuring they do not loosen during clamping. The adjusting block 402 further optimizes the clamping adaptability. By inserting adjusting blocks 402 of varying thicknesses between the first main body 100 and the second main body 200, users can fine-tune the clamping tightness and spacing to accommodate clamps and wear-resistant pads of different sizes and shapes. Using the adjusting block 402 to adjust the relative clearance effectively improves the tool's versatility and adaptability.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the connector 401 is a bolt assembly, and the connector 401 passes through the first main body 100, the second main body 200, and the adjusting block 402.

[0042] The bolt assembly is a reliable connection method, providing a stable connection force through the cooperation of bolts and nuts. The bolt assembly not only connects the first main body 100 and the second main body 200, but also fixes the adjusting block 402 between them. This ensures the stability of the entire clamping system, and by adjusting the tightness of the bolts, the user can precisely control the clamping force, further improving the reliability and operational accuracy of the tool.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, in an optional embodiment, the multiple adjusting blocks 402 have different thicknesses. This provides users with more adjustment options to meet clamping needs in different scenarios. For example, when clamping a thicker fixture, a thicker adjusting block 402 can be used to increase the clamping gap; while when clamping a thinner fixture, a thinner adjusting block 402 can be used. By selecting an adjusting block 402 of appropriate thickness, users can ensure that the fixture and wear-resistant pad are not damaged due to excessive clamping, nor that the stability of the disassembly operation is affected by excessive clamping. This diversified adjustment mechanism allows the disassembly tool to flexibly handle various complex mechanical structures, greatly improving its applicability.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the operating component 300 is threadedly connected to either the first clamping end 101 or the second clamping end 201. This threaded connection allows for fixing and moving the components through the engagement of the threads. The operating component 300 is threaded onto the first clamping end 101 or the second clamping end 201, allowing the user to adjust its position by rotating it. This not only facilitates operation but also ensures the stability of the operating component 300 during movement, preventing loosening due to vibration or external forces. The threaded connection also allows the user to quickly replace the operating component 300 as needed, further improving maintenance convenience and flexibility.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the operating member 300 is perpendicular to the first clamping end 101 or the second clamping end 201. This vertical arrangement ensures that the movement direction of the operating member 300 is perpendicular to the plane of the clamping end, thereby ensuring that the operating member 300 generates maximum force when ejecting the locking pin. This not only improves the efficiency of the ejection action but also reduces the lateral forces that the operating member 300 may generate during movement, further improving the stability and reliability of the disassembly operation and ensuring more direct and efficient force transmission.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, one end of the operating member 300 is provided with a push pin 301, the outer diameter of which is not greater than the outer diameter of the locking pin. The push pin 301 directly contacts the locking pin and pushes it out. By ensuring that the outer diameter of the push pin 301 is not greater than the outer diameter of the locking pin, it can be ensured that the push pin 301 can be accurately inserted into the hole of the locking pin, avoiding push-out failure or damage to the locking pin due to size mismatch, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the push-out action.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, in an optional embodiment, the other end of the operating member 300 is provided with an operating end 302, and the operating end 302 is provided with a connection position. The operating end 302 can abut against the outside of the first clamping end 101 or the second clamping end 201 to restrict the operating member 300 from disengaging.

[0048] The operator operates the operating component 300 by cooperating with the operating tool and the operating end 302. The connection position on the operating end 302 facilitates a reliable connection with the corresponding operating tool. Furthermore, the operating end 302 can form a resisting relationship with the outer side of the first clamping end 101 or the second clamping end 201 to prevent the operating component 300 from dislodging after further displacement, thereby improving the reliability of the displacement of the operating component 300.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the first main body 100 and / or the second main body 200 are provided with clearance grooves 403. The clearance grooves 403 provide sufficient space to prevent disassembly failure due to interference between components, effectively improving the smoothness and reliability of the disassembly operation. It should be noted that the clearance grooves 403 can also be used to accommodate the ejector pin 301 at the end of the operating component 300, facilitating the disengagement of the locking pin and preventing impact from the ejector pin 301.
