Detailed Implementation

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic clamping device, comprising:

[0039] Base plate 1, which is mounted on the frame;

[0040] An automatic feeding device is installed on the base plate 1 and is used for automatically feeding clamps 11. It is connected to a movable fixing block 2, and the fixing block 2 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 21 for receiving the clamps 11.

[0041] The support plate 3 is installed on the base plate 1, and the bottom of the support plate 3 is provided with a horizontal moving module 4 for fixing the product 12;

[0042] The transfer device includes multiple transfer heads 5, each transfer head 5 being connected to a transfer module. The transfer head 5 moves to install the clamp 11 in the receiving groove 21 onto the product 12.

[0043] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are that it enables automatic feeding and installation of the clip 11, improves installation efficiency, avoids omissions and misinstallation, ensures installation quality, and has strong applicability.

[0044] In some implementations, the automatic feeding device includes a vibratory feeder 22, a feeding channel 23, and a fixed side plate 24. The fixed side plate 24 has a feeding port. The feeding channel 23 connects the vibratory feeder 22 and the feeding port. The main body of the vibratory feeder 22 is mounted on the base plate 1. The clamps 11 are arranged by vibration and then enter the feeding channel. The fixing block 2 is set on the side of the fixed side plate 24. The fixing block 2 moves along the fixed side plate 24. The side of the fixed side plate 24 cooperates with the receiving groove 21 to limit the clamps 11. The receiving groove 21 faces the feeding port.

[0045] Furthermore, multiple receiving grooves 21 are arranged side by side on the fixed block 2. The end of the clamp 11 enters into the receiving groove 21. The side of the receiving groove 21 is connected to the side of the fixed block 2. The fixed block 2 moves horizontally, and the multiple receiving grooves 21 are connected to the feeding port in sequence to receive the clamp 11. A support frame 8 is installed on the base plate 1, and a linear module 81 is installed on it. The fixed block is connected to the linear module 81. The linear module 81 can be a lead screw motor module or a linear motor module. The fixed side plate 24 is fixedly installed on the support frame 8. The linear module 81 is located on the side of the fixed side plate 24. The linear module 81 drives the fixed block to move along the side of the fixed side plate 24. The moving direction is perpendicular to the feeding direction. Each receiving groove 21 is aligned with the feeding port to realize the feeding of multiple clamps 11. Its structure is simple.

[0046] In some embodiments, the upper side of the support plate 3 has a limiting block 31 for fixing the product 12. Clamping members 6 are provided on both sides of the support plate 3. The clamping members 6 are connected to a clamping drive member 64, which drives the clamping members 6 to move. A connecting rod 61 and a horizontal plate 62 are connected to the upper side of the clamping member 6. The connecting rod 61 is fixed to the horizontal plate 62. Two connecting rods 61 are provided on each horizontal plate 62. The clamping member 6 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 61. A flipping rod 63 is connected to the horizontal plate 62. The flipping rod 63 is connected to the clamping drive member 64. The clamping drive member 64 can be a cylinder. The end of the flipping rod 63 is hinged to the output end of the cylinder. A connecting block is also fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder. The flipping rod 63 and the connecting block are rotatably connected. When the cylinder extends, the flipping rod 63 flips along the connection point, and the clamping member 6 contacts and presses against the surface of the product 12. After installation, the cylinder retracts, and the flipping rod 63 is lifted, at which point the installed product 12 can be removed. The horizontal moving module 4 at the bottom of the support plate 3 can be a linear motor module, a lead screw motor module, etc., so that the support plate 3 can move continuously during the installation process to ensure that it can be installed in all positions.

[0047] In some implementations, a back plate 7 is provided on the transfer module. The back plate 7 moves along the moving module. Multiple extension drive members 71, vertical guide rails 72 and sliders 73 are installed on the back plate 7. The vertical guide rails 71 are fixedly installed on the back plate 7. The sliders 73 move along the vertical guide rails 72. The top of the sliders 73 is connected to the extension drive members 71 and the bottom is connected to the transfer head 5. The extension drive members 71 can be cylinders. The main body is fixed on the back plate 7 and the extension end is connected to the sliders 73. After each extension drive member 71 extends, the transfer head clamps one clamp.

[0048] Furthermore, the bottom of the transfer head 5 is provided with a fixing groove 51 for receiving the clamp 11. Protrusions 52 are fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing groove 51. The protrusions 52 extend into the fixing groove 51. When the extension drive 71 descends, the clamp 11 is located in the receiving groove 21, and the top of the clamp 11 enters the fixing groove 51. Since the clamp 11 has a certain elasticity, the protrusions 52 extending into the fixing groove 51 press the sides of the clamp 11 inward, and the transfer head 5 rises to drive the clamp 11 to move.

[0049] Furthermore, a position sensor 53 is installed on the upper side of the transfer head 5 to detect the position of the clamp 11. The position sensor 53 is installed on the slider 73. An opening is provided at the top of the transfer head 5. The position sensor 53 can be a proximity sensor such as an ultrasonic sensor to sense whether the clamp 11 is in position.

[0050] Furthermore, the transfer module includes a horizontal moving module 74 and a vertical moving module 75. The vertical moving module 75 moves along the horizontal moving module 74, and the horizontal moving module 74 is set along the vertical feeding direction. Both the horizontal moving module 74 and the vertical moving module 75 are linear modules 81, which can be linear motor modules, lead screw motor modules, etc., to drive the transfer head 5 to move horizontally and vertically.

[0051] In the working process, the clamps 11 to be installed are first fed into the vibratory feeder 22. The vibratory feeder 22 arranges the clamps 11 onto the feeding channel 23, and then they enter the receiving grooves 21 through the feeding port. During this process, the fixing block 2 moves horizontally, so that all the receiving grooves 21 on the fixing block 2 are filled. Then the transfer head 5 descends, the fixing groove 51 contacts the clamps 11, and the clamps 11 are picked up. Then, driven by the transfer module, they are moved to the installation position. At this time, the product 12 is fixed on the support plate 3. Once in position, the transfer head 5 descends and installs the clamp 11 at the corresponding position. Since the product 12 has protrusions that cooperate with the clamp 11, when the clamp 11 descends into position under the action of the transfer head 5, the protrusions cooperate with the clamp 11, causing the clamp 11 to engage with the product 12. The clamp 11 is then installed in position, and the transfer head 5 returns to its original position to continue transferring the clamp 11. Then, the transfer module and the carrier plate 3 both move to align the clamp 11 to be installed with the installation position until all positions of the product 12 are installed.

[0052] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
