(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a clamp device, and more particularly to a clamp device by which a semi-automatic tightening function is realized through the principle of lever.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
As continuous development of productivity, efficiency becomes a target pursued by more and more enterprises. For an existing clamp device, a material to be authenticated is fixed manually on the clamp for detection, which is provided with following explicit shortcomings. One of the shortcomings is that the working efficiency is low and a streamline operation is unable to be realized. The other shortcoming is that as the tightening position is not fixed, a result of detection will be affected. In a mean time, the existing clamp device is also provided with a shortcoming that the material to be authenticated cannot be tightened securely. Accordingly, a further improvement is needed for the existing technology.
The primary object of present invention is to provide a clamp device by which a material to be authenticated can be tightened semi-automatically.
Accordingly, the present invention is a semi-automatic clamp device which is composed of a tightening mechanism and a connecting rod mechanism, wherein the tightening mechanism is placed on a second workbench, two ends of a support bracket are connected with tie plates, and another end of each tie plate is again connected with the support bracket through a second spring. The aforementioned tightening mechanism is connected with a slide block through a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod connects the slide block with a slide wheel through an intersection between the first connecting rod and the slide block, a lower side of the slide block is in touch with an end of an active rocker, another end of the active rocker is connected with a passive connecting rod, a middle part of an active connecting rod is connected with fixing supports, a middle part of the passive connecting rod is connected with the fixing supports through auxiliary connecting rods, another end of the passive connecting rod is connected with a baffle through a first spring, and the baffle and the support bracket are fixed respectively on a first workbench.
The clamp device utilizing the aforementioned technology is able to realize the semi-automation of the clamp device, to largely increase production efficiency, to clamp more securely, and to effectively decrease an error in drawing a conclusion of detection.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
Referring to
When the slide block 8 is at a right end, the first spring 3 is stretched. At this time, due to that the active rocker 7 is supported at a lower side of the slide block 9, the second springs 13 will be stretched by pulling of the first connecting rod 12 and the second connecting rod 8, thereby opening the tie plates 14. Therefore, at this time, a PCD (Printed Circuit Design) board to be detected can be put in or taken out. After placing the PCD board, the slide block 9 is pushed leftward to drive the active rocker 7 to swing leftward, which will drive the passive connecting rod 6 downward by compression of the first spring 3. At this time, the slide block 9 loses support from the active rocker 7. As the second springs 13 are compressed, the tie plates 14 will press down tightly, and then the PCD board can be detected.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
