Abstract
A clamping device is provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. The clamping device includes: a rotating assembly including a rotating plate and a connecting rod, where the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a clamping assembly and the rotating plate, respectively, and the rotating plate is provided with a stroke curve protrusion; and an engagement assembly including a ratchet wheel and a ratchet component, where the ratchet component always abuts against the stroke curve protrusion so as to adjust an engagement position of the ratchet component and the ratchet wheel.
Claims16
A clamping device, comprising:
- a mounting base;
- a clamping assembly comprising at least two clamping components, wherein the at least two clamping components are both provided on the mounting base, and are movable relative to the mounting base;
- a rotating assembly comprising a rotating plate and at least two connecting rods, wherein the rotating plate is rotatably provided on the mounting base, first ends of the at least two connecting rods are both rotatably connected to the rotating plate, a second end of one of the at least two connecting rods is rotatably connected to one of the at least two clamping components, and the rotating plate is provided with a stroke curve protrusion;
- a first drive assembly provided on the mounting base;
- and
- an engagement assembly comprising a ratchet wheel and a ratchet component, wherein the ratchet wheel is fixed to the rotating plate, the ratchet component is rotatable relative to the rotating plate, the first drive assembly is connected to the ratchet component;
- when the first drive assembly is driven, the first drive assembly drives the ratchet component to move relative to the rotating assembly;
- when the first drive assembly is located at a first position, the ratchet wheel and the ratchet component are disengaged;
- when the first drive assembly is located at a second position, the ratchet wheel and the ratchet component are engaged;
- when the first drive assembly is located at an end position, the first drive assembly is locked;
- and when the first drive assembly moves from the second position to the end position, the ratchet component drives the ratchet wheel to rotate, thereby driving the rotating assembly to rotate;
- wherein the stroke curve protrusion is configured to adjust, when the rotating plate rotates, a distance between the ratchet wheel and the ratchet component, so that when the clamping assembly is at different positions, the second position is different corresponding to the different positions of the clamping assembly, so that when the first drive assembly moves from the second position to the end position, the rotating plate rotates at different angles, and a moving distance of the clamping assembly at different positions relative to the mounting base remains the same.
A computing apparatus, comprising:
- a controller, comprising:
- at least one processor and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor;
- wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions being executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform acts comprising:
- determining a first distance required by a clamping assembly when a first drive assembly moves from a second position to an end position;
- acquiring a length of a connecting rod;
- acquiring a second distance between a first end of the connecting rod and a rotation center point of a rotating plate, and a first included angle between a first connecting line and a second connecting line when the clamping assembly is at each sampling position, wherein the first connecting line is a connecting line between a second end of the connecting rod and the rotation center point of the rotating plate, and the second line is a connecting line between the first end of the connecting rod and the rotation center point of the rotating plate;
- calculating a rotation angle required by the rotating plate when the clamping assembly is at each sampling position according to the first distance, the length of the connecting rod, the second distance and the first included angle;
- and
- determining a curve of a stroke curve protrusion according to the rotation angle required to rotate the plate when the clamping assembly is at each sampling position.
