[0024] The following is for reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clamping module 10 of the first aspect of this application will be described in detail.

[0025] It should be noted that in the following embodiments, the first horizontal direction is the front-back direction and the second horizontal direction is the left-right direction.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clamping module 10 includes a frame 100 and a clamping assembly 200. The frame 100 includes a plurality of connectors connected end to end and arranged in a ring. The plurality of connectors includes two first connectors 110 distributed along a first horizontal direction. The first connectors 110 extend along a second horizontal direction, and the second horizontal direction is spaced at a certain angle from the first horizontal direction. Each first connector 110 is provided with a support portion 111 for supporting the edge of the plate. The support portion 111 extends along the second horizontal direction. Each first connector 110 is provided with a clamping assembly 200. The clamping assembly 200 includes a plurality of clamping structures 210. The plurality of clamping structures 210 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. Each clamping structure 210 includes a first driver 211 and a clamping member 212. The first driver 211 is driven to connect with the clamping member 212 and is used to drive the clamping member 212 to move closer to or away from the support portion 111.

[0027] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 200 includes a frame 100 and a clamping assembly 200. The frame 100 includes multiple connectors connected end to end in a ring shape. The multiple connectors include two first connectors 110 distributed in the front-back direction. The first connectors 110 extend in the left-right direction, and each of the two first connectors 110 has a left-right extending support portion 111 at the end that is close to each other. The two support portions 111 are used to support the front and rear ends of the plate respectively. Each of the two first connectors 110 is provided with a clamping assembly 200. The clamping assembly 200 includes multiple clamping structures 210 distributed at intervals in the left-right direction. Each clamping structure 210 includes a first driver 211 and a clamping member 212. The clamping member 212 is located on the upper side of the support portion 111. The output end of the first driver 211 is connected to the clamping member 212. The first driver 211 is used to drive the clamping member 212 to move closer to or away from the support portion 111.

[0028] The clamping assembly 200 located on the front side is named the first clamping assembly, and the clamping assembly 200 located on the rear side is named the second clamping assembly. Then, when clamping the plate, the front and rear ends of the plate can be supported on the support portions 111 of the two first connecting members 110 respectively. In the first clamping assembly, under the drive of each first driver 211, each clamping member 212 is close to the support portion 111 located on the front side to cooperate with the support portion 111 located on the front side to clamp and fix the front end of the plate. In the second clamping assembly, under the drive of each second driver 133, each clamping member 212 is close to the support plate located on the rear side to cooperate with the support portion 111 located on the rear side to clamp and fix the rear end of the plate.

[0029] It is understandable that since the clamping assembly 200 includes multiple clamping structures 210 spaced apart along the left and right direction, the first clamping assembly can cooperate with the support part 111 located on the front side to clamp and fix the front end of the plate along the left and right extended edge, and the second clamping assembly can cooperate with the support part 111 located on the rear side to clamp and fix the rear end of the plate along the left and right extended edge, so that each part of the front and rear edges of the plate can be evenly stressed, thereby reducing the probability of deformation of the plate due to excessive local stress, and thus reducing the deformation of the plate when the clamping module 10 clamps the plate.

[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping assembly 200 further includes a pressure strip 220, which extends along the second horizontal direction and is detachably connected to each clamping member 212. The pressure strip 220 is used to cooperate with the support part 111 to press and fix the plate.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 200 also includes a pressure bar 220, which extends in the left-right direction. In the same clamping assembly 200, the pressure bar 220 is detachably connected to each clamping member 212, and the pressure bar 220 is located on the upper side of the support part 111.

[0032] Understandably, under the synchronous drive of each first driver 211 in the clamping assembly 200, each clamping member 212 can synchronously drive the pressure bar 220 to move closer to or away from the support part 111, so that the pressure bar 220 can cooperate with the support part 111 to complete the clamping or loosening of the plate. The setting of the pressure bar 220 further increases the force-bearing area on the plate, which on the one hand improves the stability of the clamping module 10 of this application in clamping the plate, and on the other hand can further reduce the deformation of the plate during the clamping process.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping structure 210 further includes a transmission member 213, which is rotatably disposed on the first connecting member 110 about a horizontal axis. The clamping member 212 is disposed on the transmission member 213. The output end of the first driver 211 is connected to the transmission member 213. Under the drive of the first driver 211, the transmission member 213 can rotate to drive the clamping member 212 to move closer to or away from the support part 111.

[0034] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping structure 210 also includes a transmission member 213, which is rotatably mounted on the first connector 110 about a horizontal axis extending to the left and right. The clamping member 212 is mounted on the transmission member 213, and the output end of the first driver 211 is connected to the transmission member 213.

[0035] Furthermore, under the drive of the first driver 211, the transmission member 213 can rotate about the horizontally extending axis so that the clamping member 212 swings up and down, thereby clamping or releasing the upper plate of the support 111.

[0036] Specifically, the first driver 211 is a cylinder, the extension rod of the cylinder extends in the front-to-back direction, and the extension rod abuts against the transmission component 213.

[0037] It is understandable that, since the transmission component 213 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting component 110 around the horizontal axis, the cylinder and the transmission component 213 can be horizontally distributed, the cylinder can be easily installed on the first connecting component 110, and the vertical dimensions of the entire clamping module 10 are reduced.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, at least one first connector 110 is adjustable in position along a first horizontal direction.

[0039] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the position of the first connector 110 located on the rear side is adjustable in the front-to-back direction.

[0040] It is understood that, since at least one first connector 110 is adjustable in position along the first horizontal direction, when facing plates of different specifications, the clamping module 10 of this application allows the operator to adjust the relative position between the two first connectors 110 accordingly, so that the clamping module 10 of this application can complete the clamping of plates of the corresponding specifications, thereby improving the versatility of the clamping module 10 of this application.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the plurality of connectors further include two second connectors 120 distributed along a second horizontal direction. The second connectors 120 extend along a first horizontal direction and are provided with a position adjustment structure 130. The position adjustment structure 130 is driven to be connected to one of the first connectors 110. The position adjustment structure 130 is used to adjust the position of the connected first connector 110 in the first horizontal direction.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multiple connectors also include two second connectors 120. The two second connectors 120 are distributed in the left-right direction and extend in the front-back direction. The second connectors 120 are provided with a position adjustment structure 130. The left and right ends of the first connector 110 located on the front side are fixedly connected to the two second connectors 120 respectively, and the left and right ends of the second connector 120 located on the rear side are drivenly connected to the position adjustment structure 130 on the two second connectors 120 respectively.

[0043] Furthermore, under the action of the position adjustment structure 130, the first connecting member 110 located on the rear side can move in the front-back direction to realize the position adjustment between the two first connecting members 110.

[0044] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the position adjustment structure 130 includes a first slide rail 131, a first slide block 132, and a second driver 133. The first slide rail 131 extends along a first horizontal direction, the first slide block 132 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 131, the second driver 133 is connected to the first slide block 132 and is used to drive the first slide block 132 to slide along the first slide rail 131, and the first connector 110 is connected to the first slide block 132.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the position adjustment structure 130 includes a first slide rail 131, a first slide block 132, and a second driver 133. The first slide rail 131 extends in the front-rear direction. The first slide block 132 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 131. The second driver 133 is disposed on the second connector 120 and connected to the first slide block 132. The first connector 110 located on the rear side is connected to the first slide block 132.

[0046] Furthermore, under the drive of the second driver 133, the first slide block 132 can drive the first connector 110 to slide in the front-back direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the relative distance between the two first connectors 110.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping module 10 further includes a support component 300, which is connected to the frame 100 and located between two first connecting members 110. The support component 300 is used to support the middle part of the plate.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clamping module 10 also includes a support component 300, which is disposed between two first connectors 110. The left and right ends of the support component 300 are respectively connected to two second connectors 120.

[0049] It should be noted that since the two first connecting parts 110 can only support the front and rear ends of the plate respectively, when the size of the plate is large, the middle part of the plate will sag under its own weight.

[0050] It is understood that in the clamping module 10 of this embodiment, by setting a support component 300 and the support component 300 being located between two first connectors 110, the support component 300 can support the middle part of the plate, thereby reducing the probability of the middle part of the plate sagging.

[0051] Specifically, the support assembly 300 includes a support bar 310 and two mounting seats 320. The support bar 310 extends along a second horizontal direction, and the two opposite ends of the support bar 310 in the second horizontal direction are respectively connected to the two mounting seats 320. The two mounting seats 320 are respectively connected to the frame 100.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly 300 includes a support bar 310 and two mounting seats 320. The support bar 310 extends in the left-right direction, and the left and right ends of the support bar 310 are respectively connected to the two mounting seats 320. The two mounting seats 320 are respectively connected to two second connectors 120.

[0053] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the frame 100 is provided with a second slide rail 121 extending along a first horizontal direction, and a second slide block 122 is slidably provided on the second slide rail 121, and the mounting base 320 is provided on the second slide block 122.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second connector 120 is provided with a second slide rail 121 extending forward and backward, and a second slide block 122 is slidably provided on the second slide rail 121. Two mounting seats 320 are respectively provided on the two second slide blocks 122.

[0055] Furthermore, the operator can adjust the position of the support component 300 by sliding the drive support component 300 back and forth along the second slide rail 121.

[0056] The following reference Figure 3 The detection device of the second aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0057] refer to Figure 3 The testing equipment provided according to the second aspect of the present invention includes the loading module provided in the first aspect of the present invention; the testing equipment also includes a body 20, a testing module 30 and a transfer module 40. The body 20 is provided with a testing position 21 and a loading / unloading position 22. The testing module 30 is located at the testing position 21 and is used to test the plate. The transfer module 40 is connected to the clamping module 10 and is used to drive the clamping module 10 to reciprocate between the testing position 21 and the loading / unloading position 22.

[0058] Understandably, under the drive of the transfer module 40, the clamping module 10 can move to the loading / unloading position 22. At this time, the operator can load and unload the board using the clamping module 10. Afterward, the transfer module 40 can drive the clamping module 10 to move from the loading / unloading position 22 to the detection position 21. At this time, the detection module 30 can perform thickness detection on the board.
