Workpiece clamp device with single side

Abstract

A workpiece clamp device with single side is disclosed. When a bolt is screwed in relative to a base plane, an elastic member is compressed by a first and a second stop portions and a second clamp surface of a driving block is limited by a second wall surface. A first inclined surface is pushed leftward by a second inclined surface so that a tool is clamped by the first clamp surface and a first wall surface. When the bolt is screwed out relative to the base plane, the elastic member is reset due to the compression of the first and the second stop portions. Since the second clamp surface is limited by a second wall surface, the first inclined surface is pushed rightward by the second inclined surface to move the driving block upward so that the force for clamping the tool is released and the tool is disassembled.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(9) Referring now to the drawings where like characteristics and features among the various figures are denoted by like reference characters.

(10) Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 5, the workpiece clamp device 100 with single side of the present invention may be arranged on a base plane 300 and comprise a movable block 1, a driving block 2, and at least one elastic member 3.

(11) The movable block 1 may have a main body 11, a first inclined surface 12, a first clamp surface 13, at least one first stop portion 14 (there are two stop potions for illustration, but not limited thereto), and a first limit portion 15. The first inclined surface 12 is arranged at a right side of the main body 11 along a length direction thereof. The first inclined surface 12 is inclined from bottom to top and from right to left. The first clamp surface 13 is arranged at a left side of the main body 11 along a width direction thereof. The first limit portion 15 is arranged at each of a front end and a rear end of the main body 11 along the length direction thereof and extended toward the first inclined surface 12. The at least one first stop portion 14 is concavely arranged at the first inclined surface 12 (that is, two first stop portions 14 are spaced apart from each other and arranged between two limit portions, and further concavely arranged at the first inclined surface 12).

(12) The driving block 2 may be arranged adjacent to one side of the movable block 1 having the first inclined surface 12. The driving block 2 has a driving body 21, a second inclined surface 22, a second clamp surface 23, at least one second stop portion 24 (there are two second stop portions for illustration and the number of the second stop portions is corresponding to the one of the first stop portions, but not limited thereto), a second limit portion 25, and at least one vertical step hole 26. The number of the vertical step hole may be single one (shown in FIGS. 1 to 3) or two (shown in FIGS. 4 and 5). The at least one vertical step hole 26 may be passed through the driving body 21 from top to bottom. The second inclined surface 22 is arranged at one side of the driving body 21 adjacent to the first inclined surface 12 of the movable block 1. The second inclined surface 22 is arranged corresponding to the first inclined surface 12 and inclined from bottom to top and from right to left. The second clamp surface 23 is arranged at one side of the driving body 21 corresponding to the second inclined surface 22. The second limit portion 25 is arranged at each of a front end and a rear end of the driving body 21 along a length direction thereof and extended toward the second inclined surface 22. The second limit portion 25 and the first limit portion 15 are slidably limited to each other. The at least one second stop portion 24 is concavely arranged at the second inclined surface 22 (that is, two stop portions 24 are spaced apart from each other and arranged between the two second limit portions 25, and further concavely arranged at the second inclined surface 22) and corresponding to the at least one first stop portion 14.

(13) Preferably, the first limit portion 15 is a sliding groove and the second limit portion 25 is a sliding track.

(14) Preferably, teach first stop portion 14 is an upward vertical blind hole and each second stop portion 24 is a downward vertical blind hole.

(15) The elastic member 3 may be a compression spring (but not limited thereto). The number of the elastic member may be equal to the one of the first stop portion 14. The elastic member 3 may be arranged between the first stop portion 14 and the second stop portion 24. Two ends of the elastic member 3 are respectively abutted against the first stop portion 14 and the second stop portion 24.

(16) A bolt B (the number thereof may be equal to the one of the vertical step hole) is passing through the corresponding vertical step hole 26. A head portion B1 of the bolt B is abutted against the vertical step hole 26 and a screw portion B2 of the bolt B is passing through the vertical step hole 26 and screwed with the base plane 300. The first inclined surface 12 is pushed by the second inclined surface 22 leftward and rightward to achieve the effect of clamping because the bolt B is screwed in and screwed out relative to the base plane 300 and simultaneously cooperated with the elasticity of the elastic member 3.

(17) Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 5, when the bolt B is screwed in relative to the base plane 300, the elastic member 3 is compressed by the first stop portion 14 and the second stop portion 24 and the second clamp surface 23 of the driving block 2 is limited by a second wall surface W2. At this time, the first inclined surface 12 is pushed leftward by the second inclined surface 22 so that a tool 200 is clamped to fix by the first clamp surface 13 and a first wall surface W1 opposite to the second wall surface W2.

(18) Furthermore, when the bolt B is screwed out relative to the base plane 300, the elastic member 3 may be reset due to the compression of the first stop portion 14 and the second stop portion 24. Since the second clamp surface 23 of the driving block 2 is limited by the second wall surface W2, the first inclined surface 12 is pushed rightward by the second inclined surface 22 to make the driving block 2 move upward so that the force for clamping the tool 200 by the first clamp surface 13 and the first wall surface W1 is released and the tool 300 may be disassembled.

(19) According to above mentioned structure, it is simplified and easy to be disassembled.

(20) In addition, please refer to FIG. 6, the first clamp surface 13 of the first embodiment in FIG. 2 has a plurality of transverse air grooves 131. When the tool 300 is clamped shown as in FIG. 3, the transverse air grooves 131 may guide the air flow to dissipate heat and clamp more firmly.

(21) Furthermore, please refer to FIG. 7, the first clamp surface 13 of the second embodiment in FIG. 5 has a plurality of transverse air grooves 131. When the tool 300 is clamped shown as in FIG. 3, the transverse air grooves 131 may guide the air flow to dissipate heat and clamp more firmly.

(22) The foregoing descriptions are merely the exemplified embodiments of the present invention, where the scope of the claim of the present invention is not intended to be limited by the embodiments. Any equivalent embodiments or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are therefore intended to be embraced.

(23) The disclosed structure of the invention has not appeared in the prior art and features efficacy better than the prior structure which is construed to be a novel and creative invention, thereby filing the present application herein subject to the patent law.
