Abstract

A clamping device comprises a driving cylinder, a buffering assembly, a first clamping member, and a second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are mounted to the driving cylinder. The buffering assembly comprises a fixing member, a guiding rail, a guiding rod, and an elastic member. The fixing member comprises a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The first mounting portion defines a through hole. The guiding rail is mounted to the fixing member and located between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion. The driving cylinder is mounted to the guiding rail. A first end of the guiding rod is movably received through the through hole, and a second end of the guiding rod is fixed to the driving cylinder. Opposite ends of the elastic member resist against the first mounting portion and the driving cylinder, respectively.

First claim

What is claimed is:

a guiding rod, an end of the guiding rod movably inserted into the through hole of the first mounting portion, and an opposite end of the guiding rod fixed to the driving cylinder,
an elastic member sleeved on the guiding rod, and opposite ends of the elastic member resisting against the first mounting portion and the driving cylinder, respectively;

a first clamping member mounted to the driving cylinder;
a second clamping member mounted to the driving cylinder, and opposite to the first clamping member;
a telescoping assembly, wherein the telescoping assembly comprises a telescopic cylinder and a telescoping block mounted to the telescopic cylinder, the fixing member is mounted to the telescoping block, the telescoping block and the fixing member are movably-driven by the telescopic cylinder; and
a mounting member, wherein the mounting member is mounted at a side of the telescopic cylinder away from the telescoping block.

2. The clamping device of claim 1 , wherein the guiding rail comprises a guiding portion and a sliding portion slidably sleeved on the guiding portion, the guiding portion is mounted to the main body of the fixing member, and is located between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, the driving cylinder is mounted to the sliding portion.

3. The clamping device of claim 2 , wherein the buffering assembly further comprises a connecting member mounted on the guiding rail, the driving cylinder is mounted to the connecting member, an end of the guiding rod away from the first mounting portion is fixed to the connecting member.

4. The clamping device of claim 3 further comprising a mounting block, wherein the mounting block is connected to the connecting member, the driving cylinder is mounted to the mounting block.

5. The clamping device of claim 1 , wherein a first clamping portion is formed at an end of the first clamping member away from the driving cylinder, a second clamping portion is formed at an end of the second clamping member away from the driving cylinder, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are opposite to each other, the driving cylinder is capable of driving the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion to move towards or away from each other.

6. A clamping device, comprising:
a clamping assembly comprising:
a driving cylinder,
a first clamping member mounted to the driving cylinder, and
a second clamping member mounted to the driving cylinder, and opposite to the first clamping member;

a telescoping assembly; and
a buffering assembly comprising:
a fixing member mounted to the telescoping assembly, and comprising a main body, a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion at opposite ends the main body, the first mounting portion defining a through hole therein;
a guiding rail mounted to the main body of the fixing member, and located between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, the driving cylinder mounted to the guiding rail and located below the first mounting portion;
a guiding rod, an end of the guiding rod movably inserted into the through hole of the first mounting portion, and an opposite end of the guiding rod fixed to the driving cylinder;
an elastic member sleeved on the guiding rod; and

a mounting member, wherein the mounting member is mounted to the telescoping assembly away from the fixing member for mounting the telescoping assembly.

7. The clamping device of claim 6 , wherein the telescoping assembly comprises a telescopic cylinder and a telescoping block mounted to the telescopic cylinder, the fixing member is mounted to the telescoping block, the telescoping block and the fixing member are movably-driven by the telescopic cylinder.

8. The clamping device of claim 7 , wherein the mounting member is mounted at a side of the telescopic cylinder away from the telescoping block.

9. The clamping device of claim 6 , wherein the guiding rail comprises a guiding portion and a sliding portion slidably sleeved on the guiding portion, the guiding portion is mounted to the main body of the fixing member, and is located between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, the driving cylinder is mounted to the sliding portion.

10. The clamping device of claim 9 , wherein the buffering assembly further comprises a connecting member mounted on the guiding rail, the driving cylinder is mounted to the connecting member, an end of the guiding rod away from the first mounting portion is fixed to the connecting member.

11. The clamping device of claim 10 , wherein the clamping assembly further comprises a mounting block connected to the connecting member, the driving cylinder is mounted to the mounting block.

12. The clamping device of claim 6 , wherein a first clamping portion is formed at an end of the first clamping member away from the driving cylinder, a second clamping portion is formed at an end of the second clamping member away from the driving cylinder, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are opposite to each other, the driving cylinder is capable of driving the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion to move towards or away from each other.

13. The clamping device of claim 6 , wherein a diameter of the guiding rod is smaller than a diameter of the through hole.
