[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A clamping device for producing bearing steel balls includes two rails and a moving carriage slidably connected between the two rails.

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) This plan is approved.

[0018] The V-shaped tray with anti-slip texture provides stable support for steel balls of different diameters, preventing them from rolling or shifting during clamping. Meanwhile, the movable frame can be flexibly adjusted along the slide groove of the slide block and fixed with the fastening knob. The cylinder drives the clamping plate to clamp the steel balls from both sides. Combined with the support of the tray, this significantly improves the adaptability and clamping stability of steel balls of different specifications, effectively avoiding processing errors caused by unstable clamping in traditional devices.

[0019] (2) In this solution, by setting up a lifting mechanism, the stepper motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which drives the slider and slide block to move up and down along the linear slide rail, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the steel ball. The moving car can slide along the track to complete the transfer of the steel ball between different process stations, which greatly improves the positioning accuracy during process transition, reduces manual intervention, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and provides reliable equipment support for the automated production line operation of bearing steel balls, thereby improving the overall production efficiency and product quality consistency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] Example:

[0039] Please see Figures 1-5A clamping device for producing bearing steel balls includes two rails 1 and a moving carriage 2 slidably connected between the two rails 1. A mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving carriage 2. A slide block 6 is slidably connected to one side of the mounting frame 3 via two mutually symmetrical linear slide rails 4. A tray 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the slide block 6. A moving frame 8 is slidably connected to one side of the slide block 6. Cylinders 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the moving frame 8. A clamping plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 9. A lifting mechanism 11 is provided between the bottom of the moving carriage 2 and the slide block 6.

[0040] See Figure 4 The movable frame 8 includes a movable block 801, a side plate 802 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 801, and a cylinder 9 is horizontally installed at the end of the side plate 802.

[0041] See Figure 4 A slide groove 601 is provided on one side of the slide block 6, and the moving block 801 is slidably connected in the slide groove 601. In use, the slide groove 601 enables the slide block 6 to slide in a directional and stable manner, avoiding positional deviation.

[0042] See Figure 4 One side of the movable block 801 is threadedly connected to a fastening knob 5. The threaded end of the fastening knob 5 passes through the movable block 801 and abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 601 opened on the slide block 6.

[0043] See Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 11 includes a stepper motor 1101 fixedly installed on the top of the mobile vehicle 2 and a lead screw 1102 rotatably installed between the bottom of the mobile vehicle 2 and the inner wall of the mounting frame 3 via bearings. The top end of the lead screw 1102 extends to the top of the mobile vehicle 2 and is connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 1101 via a coupling. A slider 1103 is threaded on the outer periphery of the lead screw 1102, and the outer periphery of the slider 1103 is fixedly connected to the top of the other side of the slide block 6.

[0044] See Figure 1 The tray 7 has a V-shaped cross-section and anti-slip texture on the inner wall.

[0045] See Figure 3 The clamp 10 is located above the tray 7.

[0046] In use: First, place the bearing steel ball to be processed into the V-shaped groove of the tray 7. The anti-slip texture on the inner wall of the tray 7 initially prevents the steel ball from rolling. Then, according to the diameter of the steel ball, slide the moving block 801 along the slide groove 601 of the slide block 6 to adjust the overall height of the moving frame 8 so that the cylinder 9 and the clamping plate 10 are in a suitable clamping position. After adjustment, tighten the fastening knob 5 to fix the moving block 801 in the slide groove 601. Next, start the cylinder 9. The output end of the cylinder 9 pushes the clamping plate 10 to move inward. The clamping plates 10 on both sides, together with the tray 7, form a stable clamp from both sides and the bottom of the steel ball, ensuring that the steel ball will not shift during processing. When different processes need to be switched, the steel ball held in the gripper can be transferred to the designated workstation by controlling the moving carriage 2 to slide along the track 1. If the height of the steel ball needs to be adjusted during processing, the stepper motor 1101 is started. The stepper motor 1101 drives the lead screw 1102 to rotate. The lead screw 1102 drives the slider 1103 to move along the axis of the lead screw 1102, which in turn drives the slide block 6 to slide up and down along the linear slide rail 4, realizing precise adjustment of the height of the steel ball to meet the requirements of different processing steps for the position of the steel ball. In the entire operation, all components work together to effectively improve the clamping stability, transfer convenience and positioning accuracy in the production process of bearing steel balls.
