CHUCK STRUCTURE

Abstract

A chuck structure includes: a first chuck, provided with a seat slidable relatively thereto, the seat provided with a first stop; a limiting element, swingable relatively to the seat, and provided with a second chuck; and an operating element, respectively connected with the limiting element and a second chuck, and driving the second chuck to move relatively to the first chuck to form an accommodation space between the first chuck and second chuck, an elastic element configured between the operating element and limiting element, and the elastic element pressing against the limiting element to approach the seat, allowing the second and first stops to be in contact with each other. The present invention can use the operating element 3 to adjust the size of the accommodation space, and the second stop in contact with first stop to make the operating element can only be rotated in a single direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Referring to FIG. 1, a chuck structure of the present invention includes a first chuck 1, limiting element 2 and operating element 3.

[0018] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the first chuck 1 is provided with a seat 11 slidable relatively to the first chuck 1, where the seat 11 is provided with a first stop 12. Specifically, the first chuck 1 is provided with a rail 13, and the seat 11 is slidably configured in the rail 13, allowing the seat 11 to be slid relatively to the first chuck 1. The first stop 12 is one-way sawtooth shaped body similar to a ratchet.

[0019] The limiting element 2 can be swung relatively to the seat 11 and is provided with a second stop 21. Specifically, the second stop 21 is also a one-way sawtooth typed body similar to a ratchet. The second stop 21 and first stop 12 correspond to each other.

[0020] The operating element 3 is respectively connected with the limiting element 2 and a second chuck 4 and drives the second chuck 4 to move relatively to the first chuck 1 to form an accommodation space 5 between the first chuck 1 and second chuck 4. Furthermore, an elastic element 6 is configured between the operating element 4 and limiting element 2, and the elastic element 6 presses against the limiting element 2 to approach the seat 11, allowing the second stop 21 to be in contact with the first stop 12. Specifically, the connection of the operating element 3 with the limiting element 2 is formed by a bearing 31 of the operating element 3 and an axial hole 22 of the limiting element 2 in a rotating connection shape. The connection between the operating element 3 and second chuck 4 is formed by a rectangular hole 32 of the operating element 3, locking element 33 and a fixing hole 41 of the second chuck 4 in sliding connection shape, namely, the operating element 3 is in sliding connection with the second chuck 4. Furthermore, a protrusion 42 of the second chuck 4 is passed through a through hole 14 of the seat 11, allowing the operating element 3 to drive the second chuck 4 to move perpendicularly relatively to the first chuck 1, where the elastic element 6 may be a spring.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 3, in an initial state, since both the second stop 21 of the limiting element 2 and the first stop 12 of the seat 11 respectively are a one-way sawtooth shaped body, and the operating element 3 and the limiting element 2 are connected to each other, the operating element 3 can only be allowed to be rotated in a single direction (that is, the direction of arrow A in FIG. 4) by contacting the second stop 21 with first stop 12. Referring to FIG. 4, the operating element 3 is pushed in the direction of arrow A upon operation to make the operating element 3 drive the second chuck 4 in connection therewith to move relatively to the first chuck 1, and the size of the accommodation space 5 can then be adjusted through the operating element 3. Referring to FIG. 5, the limiting element 2 can be pushed away from the seat 11 in the direction of arrow B upon release to make the second stop 21 and first stop 12 separate from each other, and the operating element 3 can then drive the second chuck 4 in connection therewith to move relatively to the first chuck 1 again, and after stopping pushing the limiting element 2, the elastic element 6 between the operating element 3 and limiting element 2 will press against the limiting element 2 again to approach the seat 11, allowing the second stop 21 and first stop 12 to be in contact with each other to make operating element 3 can only be rotated in a single direction.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 6, the chuck structure of the present invention can be used to clamp an object or objects.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 7, the first chuck 1 may be provided with a protrusion 8 adapted to be in combination with an electronic device to fix the electronic device.

[0024] The present invention can use the operating element 3 to adjust the size of the accommodation space 5, and further can use the second stop 21 in contact with the first stop 12 to make the operating element 3 can only be rotated in a single direction. In addition, the direction restriction on the operating element 3 can also be released by pushing the limiting element 2.
