The invention discloses a novel wedge
block type inflatable shaft for a transfer arm, and belongs to the field of material carrying equipment. According to the device, the double-air-path air cylinder serves as a core
actuator, the
piston rod can be accurately driven to complete left-right bidirectional
linear motion, the wedge type expansion block is controlled in a bidirectional
active mode, the key bar can be actively pushed out and can also be actively withdrawn, the problems of incomplete reset,
response delay and clamping stagnation caused by spring fatigue are fundamentally solved, and the service life of the key bar is prolonged. The mechanism adopts the matching design of a plurality of groups of wedge-type sliding blocks and expansion blocks, the axial movement of the
piston rod is efficiently and synchronously converted into the radial movement of the expansion blocks through the guide engagement of precisely machined T-shaped grooves and T-shaped bosses, and when the sliding blocks are pushed leftwards, the huge radial thrust is generated by utilizing the
extrusion of a lower wedge surface, so that the axial movement of the
piston rod is effectively and synchronously converted into the radial movement of the expansion blocks. The rubber key strip is forcefully expanded to form high-rigidity and self-locking heavy-load clamping; when pulled rightwards, the upper wedge faces make contact to force the expansion blocks to retract in the radial direction, the key bars are driven to retract rapidly, and rapid and thorough release is achieved.
