Rotary electric clamp
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the field of clamps, and particularly relates to a rotary electric clamp.
Background
The working principle of the electric clamp is based on the cooperation of the motor drive, the transmission mechanism and the clamping jaw part. When the motor receives the control signal, the motor starts to rotate, and the rotation motion is converted into linear motion of the clamping jaw part through the transmission mechanism, so that the opening and closing actions of the clamping jaws are realized. The opening and closing degree of the clamping jaw can be accurately adjusted by controlling the rotation angle and the speed of the motor so as to meet the clamping requirements of different workpieces.
The motorized clasps typically employ a modular design that integrates the core components of the motor, drive mechanism, jaw members, etc. together to form a single module. The design is convenient to install and maintain, can be flexibly configured according to actual requirements, and improves the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.
The electric clamp is widely applied to various industrial automation scenes, such as assembly production lines, transfer robots and the like. On the assembly production line, the electric clamping jaw is used for clamping and assembling various parts, so that the assembly precision and stability are ensured, and in the transfer robot, the electric clamping jaw can be quickly and accurately transferred.
However, at present, when the electric clamp is used for carrying, assembling and other tasks, the electric clamp is generally driven by a one-dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional motion platform, and can only linearly move to clamp objects, the space posture of the clamping jaw body of the electric clamping jaw cannot be adjusted, and if the objects in the same batch are not consistent in placement posture, for example, if the placement positions of the objects are twisted relative to the electric clamping jaw, the electric clamping jaw is difficult to clamp the objects, the objects are required to be placed correctly manually, and especially when the environment of the placement positions of the objects is complex, the difficulty of manual operation is increased.
In addition, the existing parallel clamping jaw moves along the track, and as the service time increases, clamping is often easy to occur, so that the normal operation of the clamping jaw is affected, and the service life of the motor is reduced.
